[ProjectFlashlight612]

Where on Earth is this clip from? Can't be Not Only But Also...so what, then?

[erictheangrypenguin]

@ProjectFlashlight612 It's called outakes from history, from a 1980 programme named Peter Cook & co. - although this particular edit is from a 1988 doco about the Munich crisis

[mc0558]

I think that piece of paper Chamberlain waved in front of the camera was a political master-stroke. No one knew what it actually said but thought it meant Hitler would be satisfied with the Sudetenland and keep quiet now. When he seized Bohemia and Moravia and began threatening Poland, the conclusion was easily reached that "this bastard doesn't keep his word". Chamberlain won the propaganda battle there and then. Hitler always thought it was Chamberlain who had got the better of him at Munich.

[Veggieman87]

When was this? It's fantastic!

[MrMaffew87]

I have in my hand a piece of shit....ROFL

[Goorbatschov]

EPIC!!

[williamjeffersonreid]

"I have been hitting the German Chancellor herr hurtler and I have his piece in my hand" thumbs up if you think this should have happened.

[captainlucy]

I remember watching this, I think it must have been in the mid-70s some time (I was probably about 6 or so), with my grandad and one of my uncles, and I remember all three of us near pissing ourselves laughing at it. :D

[ThePythonfan]

When is this from they both look a bit old!?

[DarkJADz8]

Lol our history teacher showed us this

[nobodypersonsomeone]

@DarkJADz8 Yeah so did mine :P

[Turtlesplash]

fantastic (poor old neville)

[basserase]

Poor Mr. Chamberlain. He tried so hard to give Britain what it wanted.

[TwelveBells]

@basserase not sure about Britain but definitely Hitler ...

[stephenbiboy]

this is notu funny

itscsick

[MrLasicak]

german chencellor Herr Hitler...there is a beautifull czech vocable: řiťolezec (ars*climber)...

[Monarchoflos]

The appeasement continues across Europe in 2010 even in Germany, to let the Peaceful Religion of Islam build mosques and take over the countries from within. Yes Shit alright !!

[icemachine79]

@Monarchoflos Give it a rest! Nobody wants to hear you whine about European politics, especially since you don't even live in Europe.

[mrvasama]

piece of... shit! EXACTLY

[AccordionManiac]

Herr Hurtler!!

[eyechubcunt]

i don't know which is the most ridiculous the real neville chamberlain or not.

[179077]

This was brilliant it plays beautifully on the silly pompous English upper class twit characteristics that appeared so prevalent in those days.John Cleese and Peter Cook play their parts wonderfully.I have had a bit of a blow recently (loosing my job)but in between applyfing on line I found this and cried with laughter-what a tonic thanks for putting it on

[3AmberBabes]

We watched this in our history class

and we was all cracked up

LOL xD

[henrycrumm]

good lol! if i watched this with my history class id be the only one laughing :(

[Wuzzly]

"And I have in my hand a piece of--shit." xDDDD Lol, that's what the agreement really was, if you think about it.

[Jpht197]

Brilliant - Does anyone know where you can get a good quality longer version of the sketch?

[TheSnake7Plissken]

Yes that's right! I also wanna take a look at the "whole of it". Cause I've seen a longer version of it - as I remember - and it's even more hilarious then. John said something like "... I have in my hand his thing..." among some other fantastic cracking lines!

[Drwhofan1971]

as good as the deadly joke skit from Monty Python! "I have in my hand...Shit!"

[roobiiroo19]

sooooo gay!!! we had to watch this for history homework. :S

lol xx

[mgo26]

The original was enough of a joke!

[JapeUK]

Haha amazing, I've never seen this before whats it from?

[erictheangrypenguin]

Yes, it's quite amazing, right down to the satire of Sir Alec Douglas Home losing the piece of paper. Utter brilliance! It's edited from a 1988 doco about the Munich crisis... I'll be posting the rest very soon.

[crossleydd42]

@erictheangrypenguin

Where did Sir Alec Douglas Hume come into all this?

[erictheangrypenguin]

@crossleydd42 Alec Douglas Home was Chamberlain's Parliamentary Private Secretary and accompanied him to Munich. So when Cleese says "I thought Alec had it", he means Alec Douglas Home.

[greasyelvis]

think its from peter cook and company 1980

[MrLasicak]

@JapeUK The docu is available on Youtube: watch?v=upmiGVlYK8g&feature=re­lated
