Theology of Monty Python - Every Sperm is Sacred

[anonymous19601]

They should have Irish accents.

[victrolajake]

I'm serious when I sing this song. Viva el Papa.

[rawdolf]

now, this is a Modest Proposal :D

[DRDFOX]

intro is edited!



[CharlestonChica]

The Duggar family anthem

[nonblank]

"Speak uuuup!!!!"

:)

[jakevan1969]

Fantastic!

[LangeE612]

This is so brilliant!!!!!!!

[LaLunaVar]

i just love eric idle...

[masterdaddy0]

The theme song of the Republican Party.

[LiberalIntervention]

Eric Idle is amazing...

[mauownage]

Our national anthem. The Philippines IS Catholic, you know.

[dalriada842]

Classic comedy! I can't decide whether this is my favourite sketch, or the Romans go home sketch from Life of Brian.

[melloyello1227]

anybody else notice the asian girl in the left corner at about 3:15?? lmao!! silly british boys...

[kirky1801]

@melloyello1227 well dickhead, knowing monty python that was strategically placed

[koshernik]

Give it up Christians, yours ancient women hater leader is dead and there is no need for this anti-women hatred policy

[TheProfessorW]

ya know, with the amount they paid musta paid this family to get them to do this sceen idk why they still have to sell the kids

[strongestass]

Goofs and spoofs 6:10 at the bottom left. One black person. But once you go black, you can't go back

[happosai27]

this clip is so outdated. by now white people are dying out because we don't reproduce in sufficent rates anymore while third worlders flood europe with thier hig birthrates. soon we will be foreigners in our own countries. just look at north london or londonstan ;3

[maybenotserious]

...miss my dear Python family.... :'(

[JeremyPowell86]

making fun of the catholic churchis like kicking someone when there down.

[coolrunnings1021]

how did they explain the concept of sex and sperm to young kids

[HermogenesZither]

@coolrunnings1021 If I recall correctly, they didn't. The older ones knew already, but I saw a documentary series on the Pythons a few months back, and they interviewed a woman who played one of the younger children in the film. She said that half of them had no idea what they were singing about at the time.

[coolrunnings1021]

how did they explain the concept of sex and sperm to young kids

[skepticoz]

7 peoples daddies, should have worn one of those little rubber things on the end of their John Thomas.

[siogyumolcs]

thats whats being a protestant is about - LOL

[MrBillcale]

@siogyumolcs those french ticklers

[MelvinThe42]

Seven people are going to be sold to scientific experiments.

[bobothetwit]

This. Is. The meaning of life.

[nikoselectrica]

China's National Anthem....

[Indelon]

@nikoselectrica

You mean India's national anthem right? I can't believe you've never heard of the One Child Policy.

[TheProudAmerican777]

@nikoselectrica Better yet the state song of utah.

[KodeLiMe]

6 people are Hindu, Taoist or Mormon.

[jonnel7]

You heard it! Every sperm is sacred, so you should receive them by the TONGUE and not by HAND...

[soeffingwhat]

@jonnel7 - What I would ask any so-called "Pro-Lifer", be they Catholic or whatever, if its a Moral Sin to waste Sperm then why are millions of Sperms wasted anyway?? after all only 1 (or 2 if its twins) makes it into the Egg, the rest die.

[warLock21X]

there is no god. People have sex frequently and men ejaculate, then they have a baby 10 years later and say its meant to be but if they had it with 1 of their girlfriends their lunatic mind would say thats meant to be too and theyd insanely say theyd be the same person. People are fukin programmed, there is only free will.

[drbrunch]

"God has blessed us so much, that I can't afford to feed you anymore."

[BCRICH302]

4:45 It's Michael Caine... 

[SuperZerodotcom]

"what we do to ourselves we do to him". Balls cut off. I'm still laughing as I type this.

[Dumebi2]

Holy crap I just realized that the groom from the married couple looks exactly like Niles from the Nanny, is it him, I wouldnt be surprised if it is.

[DearMrFantasy11]

how many of the kids singing do you think know exactly what their singing? hahah grande

[MrM1N1Mi]

My question is this, IS IT SO HARD TO PULL OUT IN TIME?

[captainsealed]

@MrM1N1Mi As any sex education class will tell you, that's not really that safe.

[fearlessfred14]

@MrM1N1Mi

That's exactly what they say Onan got struck down for. Specifically, pulling out when sleeping with his recently deceased brother's widow.

[MrM1N1Mi]

@fearlessfred14

i'm not really religious, so i guess you learn something everyday.

[soeffingwhat]

@MrM1N1Mi  - Even that is too risky. Condoms are the way to go I believe.

[51lodb]

This cracks me up every time I see it....

[Daniel4646]

All the poor kids. Funny and depressing at the same time.

[jmaster1324]

ok, now I feel awesome for being lutheran.

[kargwain187]

@jmaster1324 i didnt think you lot did feeling happy :)

[jmaster1324]

@kargwain187 Not alot of the time

[uofm97]

"If the Catholic Church would let me wear one of those rubber things on the end of my cock, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now." You just can't away with saying stuff like that to kids in a movie now, can ya? (Not that you could before, but somehow THEY did....lol.)

[12theory]

Damn, i knew it, catholics raping lil kids n shit

[Erniethecatisawesom]

@12theory whoa! Stop being so ignorant!

[bmccoy78]

You've got to love the catholics. You can make whatever arguments you want but they seem so good natured while the protestants seem so stiff. Of course he did sell his children, but that's beside the point.

[encrerouge]

-But is the same with us, Harry!

- What do you mean?

- well, I mean we've got two childrens and we have sex twice! XD

[MrBillcale]

@encrerouge damned protestants, trying to make sex fun!!

[Gr0nhild]

Condoms Rule! [2]

[pedrohqb]

Well, I think for these bastards the solution would be abortion, no? Of course, they love to make everything ridiculous.

[khetnhio]

@pedrohqb I think they consider abortion to be murder. I thin that is pretty obvious considering its the catholic church.

[Gabrielaked]

@khetnhio By "bastards" he meant the Monty Python...

[khetnhio]

@Gabrielaked How does that change it?

Clearly there is something i'm not getting...

What problem does the Monty Python have for which abortion is the solution?

[Gabrielaked]

@pedrohqb No, the first solution is contraception, you dumbass

[gooddarkjedi]

@pedrohqb birth control is the best thing to decreas the nuber of abortions. that is why in usa alone chatolics make 27 % more abortions then protestant. ironicaly non-belivers have the least abortions.

[arabesco76]

Can't you have your balls cut off? hahahahahha!

[arabesco76]

Bellissimo! la chiesa cattolica mi fa cagareeeeeeeeeee!

[minirobot1]

Kinda stupid since only one sperm is supposed to make it to the egg, the rest die from the vagina defenses.

[HerrDiestel]

Does anybody know what became of the little girl with the solo? I am just curious.

[lurchutube]

@HerrDiestel  Spice Girls

[kargwain187]

@HerrDiestel trauma ward after she met her local priest :(

[petu03]

estoy es una genialidad...

[Indelon]

"But it's the same with us Harry. We've got two children, and we've had sexual intercourse twice!"

Nice to see middle aged protestants so....active. Guess both have pretty big cons, haha.

[Yinzerdude]

This is my favorite comedy sketch of all time

[markzillapage1]

love the cockney knees-up at the end...lol..quality!

[wakaratwakawaka]

Meaning of Life as a whole was awful, but this segment is required viewing!

[PRINCESAINKA22]

love this vid and I am a Catholic!

[12theory]

@PRINCESAINKA22

u like raping lil kids like the priest does?

[elchafa]

@12theory that insult was uncalled for, and I'm not a catholic

[12theory]

@elchafa

LOL

[chris877676764]

it's about HUMOUR :-)

[strider8807]

LOL 64 kids walked out of the door at the end and one was asian. now thats classic

[Thomistica]

Haha. Love the Protestant couple.

[mateuszmattias]

"When Martin Luther nailed his protest up to the church door in 1517 he may not have realised the full significance of what he was doing, but 400 years later, thanks to him my dear, I can wear whatever I want on my John Thomas" MPs stuff in general ant this movie in particular is full of wonderful lines and quotes, and it's impossible to pick out one favorite, but this one is definitely very high up on my personal list. Gotta love Graham!

[Englishmen1940]

God bless catholics

[IAMJESUSmovie]

Jesus Christ has returned. I AM.

[Deadleader555]

The best ridiculation of pro-lifers ever!

[arielattacks]

@Deadleader555

This has nothing to do with prolife. Dick head. It has to do with birth control. Unless you think abortion is birth control? Do you? Dont mistake me for a religious person but abortion is not birth control.

[Deadleader555]

You must be a pro-lifer.. =P

[catbass93]

@arielattacks EXACTLY, THANK YOU! It also teaches that people should just be careful with their cocks in general.

BTW, does anyone else think the little girl soloist has a beautiful voice?

[SkarmoryFan]

Now this song is stuck in my head.

[ElderGrogh]

I played this is my car stero for ghetto freaks and even they were shocked!

[illusions142]

this is just plain comedic BRILLIANCE

LMAO every time I watch this

[popol1975]

They were GENIUS!!!!!!!!

[sk1tz0freN1x]

i am just saying stop with all the anti-catholic comments tolerance is the best thing every religion can be criticized because the people that follow it are human in the words of my teacher though a religion is a successful cult

[themec]

Ann Wizzened Hum. Search Fry Hitchens Catholic debate or some combination. It is essential in THIS light. Live and be free us vulnerable people. My motto.

[themec]

We're DESTITUTE and I have no other option but to sell you AAALLL for scientific experiments.

The children: Orrrhhh.

[themec]

Ratzinger are you listening? Ann Widdecombe are you listening? All other mind-fuck cult members are you listening? Your boys took one hell of a beating!

They should show this to all the impoverished Africans currently being brainwashed into god-fearing absurdities by the current crop of clowns. I'm sure they'd get this truth of the matter far more readily than all that Bible mumbo jumbo. This sketch is right on target. Where is this genius political dissent nowadays? Just poor comics nowadays.

[kisbie]

Michael Palin actually substituted the word "sock" for "cock" while he was around the kids. They dubbed the rude word over the top later.

Jones and Palin were the two Pythons who cared about other people's reactions. The other four rarely gave a toss, especially Cleese. A good mix of approaches proved very helpful, I suppose.

[XieYali]

@kisbie

Kind of silly I suppose when you consider they're singing about sperm and alluding to sexual intercourse. (Granted most of the kids probably weren't aware what it is.)

[Cindercheth]

@fruitcake4t Testify! This religion needs to die. BADLY. The way I see it, if god wanted every sperm to meet it's mark, he wouldn't have made sex such an overwhelming desire, and so much spare seed, and yet such a small world to pop babies out on :/

[robo1998able]

@fruitcake4t : i wish your dad had worn one

[danpayne118]

@fruitcake4t yeh true, but catholics are a generic family unit (like simpsons or family guy)

[jojote74]

@fruitcake4t don´t worry...catholics will keep having babies but the U.S.A MARINES WILL KILL MANY OF THEM IN 10 YEARS OR SO..AND THE ONES LEFT ALIVE WILL DIE OF HUNGER OR SOMETHING WORSE OUTTA IMF RECIPIES IN THEIR COUNTRIES, YOU WAIT N´SEE!! CHEERIO!

[greyeyeblindmind]

@fruitcake4t Do you really think that catholics listen to the Pope. And did they ever have ? Let's talk to mormons and evangelical christians about pregnancy and they right use of human copulation, I am eager to hear what they have to say about it. (just droning off here)

[TheSuperCommentGuy]

@fruitcake4t Dude, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?

[MrLabelChannel]

@fruitcake4t OVERPOPULATED ??? here in germany the population rate goes down -0.2 every year and our country's full of catholics.

[MrLabelChannel]

@fruitcake4t oh and can your religion do THAT : 5:21

[soeffingwhat]

@fruitcake4t - its not just Catholics, but I agree, Condoms do indeed Rule!

[TomMSTie]

No one played a middle-aged mother better than Jones.

My favorite skit with Middle-aged parents was 'Working-Class Playwright," where the author father disapproves of his sons job as a coal miner.

"Tungsten Carbide Drills!!??"

[lutscher1234]

tsssss, c'mon you protestants, your just jealous that you cannot sin, confess and go straight to heaven. ;)

Catholics rule.

[Kiwibugger]

Bloody catholics filling the bloody world up with bloody people they cant afford to bloody feed

[MrBillcale]

@Kiwibugger well what are we dear, PROTESTANTS AND FEIRCELY PROUD OF IT!!!

[unsolvable7]

I love how they got all these kids to sing every sperm is sacred, its hilarious.

[n0isenkiss3s]

Oh my god, it's the original Duggard Family :O

[MrMich1990]

Woohoo :)

Go Catholics :)

[meshak]

hey is that you??? that kid who won the spelling bee?? who cares!!!! i no i spel grate i dotn need your critisism nore your youtube life lessons not only did you not make a vilid point at anytime discrediting mine you thought youd be cute and use latin words although im probobly wrong

about the origin of the word you made not even an atempt at telling us why im wrong and isnt that making you look like a hipocrit ? but im sure im waisting my time cheerio

[DaMuttzNutz]

Oh! Quick! Go and get the others in Gordon - great throwaway line

[vidstuff007]

What about all the others - still at the daycare center?

How many nannies would it take... *LOL*

[iluvericidle]

at 1:52 ish the little boy asks "Couldn't mummy have worn some sort of ***?" what is that word? i can't quite tell...

[BrokenCurtain]

sounds like "peseveh"... I think it means "preservative"

[DaMuttzNutz]

Pessary - a cervical cap (in this context)

[iluvericidle]

ah, okay. that makes sense...thank you :)

[TomMSTie]

Thank you, I never knew what he was saying either.

Pessary = diaphragm.

[S4ffa]

4:45 Is Lister Park in BRADFORD the unsung Yorkshire Capital LMFAO

[vitaloverdose]

OMG there are fully naked children on screen at 3.20 ..wtf

[KINZUA6]

Pure cinemagraphic gold!

The last two minutes are the best, "...I can walk down the road and say in a loud, steady voice, "Harry, I want you to sell me a condom, in fact, today I'll have a French tickler, for I am a Protestant!"

[TomMSTie]

It's sick but the Protestant couple look just like my grandparents would've when they were in there 30s/40s.

[soeffingwhat]

@TomMSTie - I think People back then simply either didn't notice how much they aged or didn't care after they were married. I know someone like that now.

[supersammie89]

ah, nothing beats a bit of Monty Python after a hard days work.

[Akibatai00]

Oh those wonderful names people came up with for all sorts of condoms~~

[annecmcguire012006]

yeah the dragon does rule :=)

[alveoligio]

The Chinese dragon at the end of the song...

[him61182]

Is it just me, or is the audio on this lower pitched than normal?

[Erivah]

No, it's just not very good quality.

[WakoGeek]

The Monty Python series is AMAZING and pure genius. I'm 16 and LOVE this movie. It points out everything nobody wants to accept.

[goonerbeagunner4life]

Love the cockney babies at 4:57 xD

[fireemblem1992]

Hahahahahaha this is beyond awesome

[Beoy999]

Hipocricy!

[bobjonesu]

so Yorkshire is a total shithole?? I just saw a similar joke about Yorkshire on "That Mitchell and Webb Look"

[George21T]

omg i love Monty python movies

[vidstuff007]

I wonder what the head count is on kids!

[mcgowanmister85]

@vidstuff007 in the making of dvd the head count was 53 in the room and all together there was 63 :)

[dragonbalde43]

@vidstuff007forty-one.

[texasbmwmom]

The Protestants are the FUNNIEST part of this skit in my opinion.. I LMAO when the Protestant husbands says "We can take precaution." and the Protestant wife replies, "What do you mean? Lock the door?" Great stuff! :)

[huzoso]

are there really a lot of catholics in yorkshire? i wouldnt know im an american.

[vidstuff007]

I just put a link to Julia Sweeney on "This American Life" and her "Letting Go of God" segment... Her description of two Mormons explaining their faith - and how Jesus came to America ... how Joseph Smith found gold tablets in Palmyra NY - makes one dizzy on how we can believe things as outlandish - then she takes on her own Catholic faith... it's worth the 30 min listen. It comes from a longer segment on "This American Life" called "Godless America" thislife(dot)org has some great archives!

[vidstuff007]

It's under "More Info" on the top right of this page.

BTW - for those outside the US - This American Life (TAL) is a weekly hour-long radio program produced by Chicago Public Radio and hosted by Ira Glass. It is distributed by Public Radio International (pri. org) and is also available as a free weekly podcast. Primarily a journalistic non-fiction program, it has also featured essays, memoirs, field recordings, short fiction, and found footage. The first episode aired on November 17, 1995

[TheBiggestBlind]

Where can u get this ong?

[vidstuff007]

The movie is "Monty Python's THE MEANING OF LIFE"

[vidstuff007]

The copyright holders were kind enough to put an ad and easy buttons to go to iTunes or Amazon and download the song...

[redgirlinbluedresses]

I've definitely heard of a few that make me raise an eyebrow. But I suppose it isn't our place to criticize since they would probably think our beliefs to be just as absurd. Religion in general seems to be a pretty funny thing to me.

[redgirlinbluedresses]

Haha, I know. I'm Catholic myself and find some of the Church's teachings to be pretty absurd. I just remember having a discussion with one of my friends who said there was a study where they were trying to find stem cell material in menstrual blood. We then started joking around about how the Church was going to forbid all women from menstruating to protect the sanctity of life.

[fromcrusttilgrind]

this video is just great

[meshak]

What makes your views non religious? who says you can be like religion is bad believe like me and not be labeld religus? take the word hypocrit

hypo witch means alot or in abundance and critical so when you get over critical you put yourself on the stage of hypocrisy!

[memory9acid]

spelling issues: labelled religious hypocrite which etimology issues: hypo is a greek word and it means "under" however hypocrite comes from ὑπόκρισις (hypokrisis), which means "play-acting". Hypocrisy means acting in a manner contradictory to one's professed beliefs and feelings, or conversely, expressing false beliefs and opinions to conceal one's real feelings or motives. it has nothing to do with being over-critical. But I am probably wasting my time aren't I.

[AutomatedCritic]

Sarah Palin's anthem

[ConnDevi88]

This is how I picture Octomom's house

[XPepo123X]

Lol. 5:08 had me in stitches for hours

[zoltan656]

if abortion is murder then masturbation is genocide !!!

[redgirlinbluedresses]

Does that mean that I can masturbate? I have no sperm to loose...*gasp!* But then that means every time a woman menstruates, she's killing a her own child! We must stop this abomination with birth control tablets for all!

[johnkelsologan]

yep speak uo is brilliant

[historyvideos101]

*LOL* @ 6:20 "SPEAK UP!"

[scarff94]

good old english humour :)

[DaleSparrow]

poor woman, she must be so bored in his house.

[Tamlyn2222]

This song is sick! LOL

[IsOk10]

4/5 "ooh, that's right Harry;)" *L^

[skrat123]

lol, the baby's are falling out of the vagina like it's urine :P

Most memorable song of the movie.
