What a great memory. My grade 9 teacher showed us this when the school got an unbelievably cool new machine called a VCR. LOL :) Haven't seen it for years, but somehow I can remember "life's a piece of shit when you look at it" like it was yesterday. Only 32 years ago :( When I read some of the comments, makes me wonder how our teacher got a hold of this.
If everyone in the world followed the advice in this song then ... well we might build temples to the Gods Python. Haha no that'd just be silly. Great stuff. Holy Grail I think will always be my favourite Python piece. The show was amazing, the movies amazing, a lot of the solo stuff they did was amazing. Thank you life for giving us those men and their continuing contributions to comedy .
They played this song after Iron Maiden closed Reading festival in 2005 to try and stop people rioting and setting fire to stuff. Didn't work tho lol.
You must be a kid. There are FOUR COUNTRIES in the UK. That alone should tell you there is no "British accent". There are Essex, Cockney, Manchester, and North Irish, among others, but to pile them under one dialect is moronic.
By that same token there shouldn't be a "Southern" accent either, but nobody bother's to differentiate between the states. They just hear "southern drawl."
@patato999rules people from abroad do tend to stereotype the brit accent with a southern style either (lords n ladies types) or a working class cockney/south london accent, this is because of the movies
@BenderPictures Theres no Such thing as a british accent, Theres no such thing as an english accent either because theres so many Accents in the United Kingdom.
@NathanAndrewLonsdale There is an English accent. England and the UK aren't the same thing. But you're right, more or less. The British have a fairly large collection of accents native to the area.
@NathanAndrewLonsdale to those who live there, perhaps. Ask someone from another country if they can hear a difference, I bet they'll say no. Did you know there's no Canadian accent? We have about 30 different ones across the country. But, then, you probably wouldn't be able to tell them apart the way we can ;)
No, no, no----I think it is, "Anything he pays for is rubish." It makes sense that way: referring to the movie they just made, and complaining about not making money on it a second later.
@patato999rules: the jokes on you, pal~! Don't even be calling people idiots when you can't bleeding catch the joke. Good thing no one is shouting at ya or the following is usually about something off.
I find it sad that people just fail to realize what this movie was doing. It was only banned in other areas because everyone thought it was making fun of churches and Christians, but no. This was poking fun at how in the old days, people were worse than today's extremists, even going so far as to kill anyone who had different beliefs. There was hardly any reference to Jesus in this, so no, this is not making fun of Jesus or Chrisianity as a whole.
i think they where playing this for sadaum when they put the rope around his neck [sing with us sadaum alwasy look at the bright side of life, you come from notthing you go back to notthing
This is a brilliant film, this is one fo my favourite scenes and the other scene at the beginning where Brian's mother opens the door to the wise men and when they say they have been "led by god" or something like that, then she says "LED BY A BOTTLE MORE LIKE!" I laugh every time I see that.
That's what you get for not being the messiah, but "a very naughty boy"! (one of my fav lines from the movie). This song, the movie, and the pythons in general ROCK! Not many of todays comics come close.
