Monty Python - How To Do It

[Apollys]

Hey look, GEORGE WEASLEY!

[Archiveofobscurity]

I was wondering where I ripped this joke off from *blush* :-D

[madregor1]

Nine people do not have funny bones.

[RevengeSeeker4321]

the title implied something entirely different to the actual sketch

[nesseline]

Look at this, howcast!

[LaVonBain]

Never seen this one before! Crying!

[MetalLabStudios]

Eric Idle's "boobs" are uneven lol

[b00mhauer]

So sad Chapman and that dog are long gone.

[DollTV]

I likee

[moguy200979]

Oh dear... I thought that was a real woman until he started talking lol

[iuhdfur]

8 people don't know how to do it.

[nintendork64]

I learned so much!

[kayper54]

Does anyone know whether this was a parody of a specific TV program or just another one of their brilliant off-the-cuff ideas? I love the addition of that ginormous dog.

[feraldarryl]

@kayper54 "Blue Peter" was (and still is) a BBC children's program... check out their "elephant" episode on here.

[kayper54]

@feraldarryl Oh, OK. I've never seen Blue Peter but I am familiar with it. Thx much!

[manygate10]

@kayper54 Blue Peter, a long running children's programme on BBC!

[kayper54]

@manygate10 Thank you!  :)

[kayper54]

@manygate10 Hm, now I wonder why the show is called "Blue Peter." Is there are character called Blue Peter? I'm afraid it isn't among the British shows we get on BBCAmerica so I know nothing about it.

[JimTLonW6]

@kayper54 'Blue Peter' is the name of a flag flown by a ship about to leave port. Why it was thought suitable for a children's programme isn't especially obvious, but that's what the BBC thought. As the show has been running for about 50 years, I don't expect there are a lot of people around now who know the rationale for the original name.

[Soilwar]

That is a big dog.

[7beers]

@bigfatAMERCANbastard Ha-ha. Generic anti-conservative blather. Meanwhile, Team Obama has handled Iran, Egypt, Syria, Libya, et. al. with aplomb.

[dagensvisa]

I bet these characters are Libertarian !

[pretorious700]

@dagensvisa more likely Ivy league PHDs

[CROMERCRABO1]

DRAGONS

[Himaryous]

Eric Idle played women so well because he didn't exaggerate. He seemed to understand that the differences between men and women are subtle, not big and broad; he barely made his speaking voice any higher. As a result he plays women wonderfully and doesn't come off in the least like a cross-dresser or caricature.

[6020e3]

@Himaryous no, he actually played women so well because he was the most feminine of the pythons (higher voice and not very solid body)

[Himaryous]

@6020e3 That certainly helps but it's not a substitute for good acting. ;)

[xyaqua]

I swear I want to intro my engineering class with a sketch like this.

[crusty21]

Funny as hell, yet such an accurate depiction of our educational industry today.

[gmodman1701]

but wait they did'nt show us how to split an atom!!!

[comanchio1976]

@gmodman1701 @xXxLovEMasTerxXx911 They didnt show us how to do anything, that was the joke

[gmodman1701]

@comanchio1976 And so was the comment.

[Wolfina2]

@gmodman1701 it was after the commercial break :P

[ezelouie]

how to even up jackies tits?

[xXxLovEMasTerxXx911]

They haven't shown us how to split an atom yet!

[lady12480]

Maybe Eric needs to learn how to grow another boob

[brickhaus1111]

How to play the flute? How to irrigate the Sahara desert? How to split an atom? All of these are obviously sexual euphemisms. That's how you do it.

[electricrussell]

What's going on with Eric's tits?

[TheKenfig]

For me, this is when, by series 3, Python was scraping the barrel for material. Though 80% of the series is still brilliant

[Shalor93]

But how do i split an atom!?

[mrond]

@Shalor93 You cut it with a knife

[tvnutboy]

All these "How To's" and yet, not a single tip on How to Irritate People (Hint, Hint!).

[shaalis]

jackie's tits are kinda... on the lopsided view

[deus1118]

Why is that dog there?

[boyomeboyo]

I think that it's trying to show how the basics on how to do things are easier than people think and that people over complicate things.

[russinhouse]

@boyomeboyo it's taking the piss out of blue peter. ( a kiddies programme in england since the 60z )

[comanchio1976]

@russinhouse As well as "How"..which later became "How To". It's funny reading all these comments from Americans, assuming that they're somehow prophesying later American foreign policy

[RoseisoutofherTOGA]

Eric Idle has some killer legs, god damn!

[thevideogamenerd100]

"next week, we will teach you how to make the blacks and whites live together in harmony" god the Pythons are geniuses

[CaptainWatson234]

BLOODY HELL THAT DOG IS HUGE.

[JohnLennonLover9]

Graham is so cute X3

[ONE1LoveOne]

why i ended up here???

[sondano]

@ONE1LoveOne because everyone ends up here

[MrHarrybongo]

I was mislead....

[dahMusicDude]

Monty Python is probably the best commedy act in the history of humanity.

[Nightcrawlerchick]

7 people don't know how to do it

[chinniepie]

I thought he wanted to be called Loretta...

[doctorwhom1]

GOOD GOD I FEEL SMARTER ALREADY!

[flaxonx3]

Pitbull2005, finish the sentence. Not even what?

[beatlebob101]

i love how eric doesnt even try to change his voice.

[LeeNTien]

Omg.... I recognised Eric only 40 seconds into teh sketch!.... >__<

[MsPwain]

If you are danish - thenthink about Graham Chapman as Poul Thmosen in "Dus med dyrene". Even the dog is the same.

[mai1992]

Well, he finally got to be a woman...Probably called Loretta.

[agora1955]

Good Lord, when I think " Blue Peter" was the centre of our TV in the 60`s I am amazed we didnt all grow up to be perfect Einsteins, or did we ???

[pitbull2005]

Jackie's breasts are not even!

[oOBubbleStreamOo]

God, this is PAINFUL!! LOL

[MrVordas]

I can't say how many times I have seen this sketch but I will name my firstborn Notlob, after John Cleese.

[marksoutof10]

@MrVordas Notlob? You told me it was Ipswich!

[JerryG918]

This bit with John, Graham, Eric is so damn epic!!!

[armadafanforever]

The highlight of this was Graham playing with the doggie. I want da doggie!

[NaviLight]

What series is this from?

[Yellowsubmaurine]

"Thanks Jackie, great idea!"

[valdas0]

The women, Jacky I think is the first troll scientists. Too bad she forgot the last part... THE PROFIT!!!!

[MrVordas]

@valdas0 And also the first transgender to anchor a show on TV. :D :D

[brainmachine04]

Eric Idle has nice legs.

Just sayin.

[avinotion]

@brainmachine04

dear god that's true!

[dillonminigun]

6 people are doctors/flute players

[Eufrozina85]

One of my favourite MP-sketches ever!

[Dreamer00]

Graham and the doggie seemed to be buddies. D'aw, so cute.

[Cybertoco]

John Cleese's humor in this sketch reminds me a lot of Colin Mochrie. Perhaps it should have been the other way around?

[TheOnlineMediaWatch]

Racist.

[cleekerdeluxe]

@TheOnlineMediaWatch ....wise up !

[cuckoo61]

the intro music, their naive attitude, eric idle as a woman, and cheerio! this sketch is is amazing

[nevets4ever]

I do not think the dog is British....

[xyaqua]

TUV Rheinland training program.

[ticnatz]

And yet 6 people found this unlikable! Hope I don't know any of them.

[MenwithHill]

Everyone smile, that's scaring

[KaltorRotis]

I've seen TED talks that were more or less this.

[grauekatze]

In british english, ANYTHING can sound like sexual innuendo

[VegardMinde]

I think they must be my teachers from high school.

[lOo0la]

they make me think of those weird overexcited people from catholic organisations for youngsters, if you know what i mean?^^

Eric though...<3

[allblue3]

I remember this series well, particularly the episode before this one. Thanks to it I've been a successful gynaecologist for over thirty years now!

[DasGoldenBoy]

@allblue3 I am sulking!

[DasGoldenBoy]

Man, I mised how to become a gynecologist! Now I'll never know how to do that.

[OeditpusRex]

@DasGoldenBoy It's the same as playing the flute. ;)

[theonlyantony]

Blue Peter should go back to this formula

[oOfretlessOo]

Pretty much like expertvillage. :D

[kiminokami]

@oOfretlessOo hhahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahaha

[theanvilcracks]

291 people are hot for Eric Idle.

[dagillac]

@theanvilcracks I know I am!

[DiligentSleeper]

@theanvilcracks I am one of these people ;) yomnomnom, hahaha

[ErmaBuckles]

I WANT THAT DOG!!!!!!!!!!

[yooanoozarrmay]

Blue Peter in 90 seconds  lol . fucking quality

[ChinaPhe]

Cleese's smile is a bit of scary, you know...

[enteradj]

Thanks jackie .. great idea ... man i pissed my pants laughing there!

[queenrocks21]

''Last week we showed you how to become a gynaecologist'' My favourite ever Python quote

[Namadof]

My God! The Pythons predicted Wikihow! And it is as silly as they thought!

[TheLkvoice]

@Namadof This is as informative as an expertvillage video

[BOCOLOCO]

Hello, Alan! Hello, Jackie!

[Modified67]

@Gage371 Apparently. 0.o

[MrRoflcatz]

flood wuzz here

[Cody2Xtreme]

Somehow I learned more from this than ExpertVillage...

[Huhmasta]

hahah this video is already more helpful than expert village will ever be!

[miladynana]

I love when eric's a woman with his own voice

[harveydents]

HOw do they not LAUGH when they are doing this!

[agora1955]

@harveydents I bet they did and they had to shoot it over and over till

they got it right.

[ironbuttermilk]

These are obviously folks working in the current administration here in the US.

[miladynana]

ooh, I love Eric as a woman =D

[OlaNaTungee6]

john cleese is freaking me out...

[Skebla123]

"Hello Jackie x)"

[HisEmptyHouse]

Every time i see an animal in older films and tv shows it's always depressing to think 'that animal's probably dead by now.'

Unless it's a tortoise.

Or a parrot. (Except in Python, heh heh.)

[GoblinXXX]

@HisEmptyHouse He's only PININ' for the FJORDS! (Beautiful PLUMMAGE, innit?)

[Nebarus]

@HisEmptyHouse The parrot is dead? OMG, the horror...



[AshtonPhoto]

An explanation is on order.

In the 70s British children's TV was seen as patronizing with a tendency to over simplify complex issues so young minds could understand things.

Now the adult TV shows are the ones that are dumbed down.

[Sleyvas200]

i love John Cleese....♥

[allinhungary]

My favorite.. how to split an atom...:)

[mouse264]

@allinhungary I was wondering if anyone else got that. XD

[MrBeerbug]

LOL-This is how you think when you are 18:D

[ytvoice1]

@MrBeerbug Which makes it even funnier ;)

[usualyskint]

Flood was here.

[vef444]

"Great idea!"

[StaraziaSelin66]

@SgtPepper303 eric :D

[doctorwhom1]

This sketch is really detailed

[joshaf26]

It's this kind of vague, unspecific instructions on how to do pointless things that make contemporary daytime television possible.

[obama93142]

on behalf of Expert Village....

[jagarf]

Damn... which I'd seen last week's...

[DalekHunter1994]

@jagarf Me too...fuckshitdammitfart......­....tits. That was weird. SQUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

[chris42576]

"You blow there and you move you fingers up down here."

That's what she said.

[thebridgeofthenose]

There are many lucky dogs in the history of British television, but I can say without any doubts whatsoever that this one here is the luckiest.

[Marvelmanx1]

-Como tocar la flauta, ahora esta es la flauta, se sopla por aca y se mueven los dedos. XDXD

[FedayTek]

aha, this is the inspiration, of how its made

[SgtRevan]

Expert Village at it's finest : )

[xandy1959]

hey effy the old ones are gold ones

[xandy1959]

yike me they would have seen blue peter when they were growing up

[Rum0Piratess]

Sexy legs! :P

[GreatQueenFan]

eric is cuuuuuuuutee

[GrandFunker]

I heard this on "Another Monty Python Record" long before I got to see the original....it was always one of my favorite bits...you know, just after "The Naughty Bits of Mr. Edward Heath"

[goodbyelonglive44]

Great Idea!...

move your finger up and down...

[MrSpockify]

How to play the flute: You blow here, and move your fingers up and down here. xD

[ysbaddaden2003]

Funny thing is the only one gay in this scene is Graham Chapman...

[free0fight]

Woah! i thought it was an actual woman at first!!! lol =0

[Harriet123P]

Graham is beautiful!

[tomatoherb]

@Harriet123P True that! He is starting to become my favorite...

[Pippin76]

Really one of my favorite python sketches :)

[GFAWJ]

Blue Peter or Blue Python?

[EleventyBillion861]

LAWL How to split an atom

[rainbowsandwar]

I just die at 0:33 - 0:36 ... I started cracking up at this as soon as I saw the video still in the sidebar.

[Gorboduc]

I kinda wish I'd seen last week's episode...

[turkishmilkmaid]

Does Eric Idle have only one breast?

[StaraziaSelin66]

john and eric...oh god i just want to sit between them and hug them both X3

[jerryhello100]

That dog is adorable.

[TheYoshi42]

"You blow there and move your fingers up and down here"

[tamadw]

"Thanks Jackie.., great idea."

[OTOWN2STOCKTOWN]

The comedians of all time! I´d marry them all if , they we´re women, and possibly if I was a Muslim man.

[aartvegan]

Classic.

[xemily91]

John Cleese's character kind of makes me nervous, with all the rocking. XD

[endlessone07]

Eric Idle makes a surprisingly attractive woman.

[SoylentGreeeen]

Yeah. I'd hit it. (Sorry, Eric)

[myusedromance77]

@endlessone07

Yes he does :s :]

[FuckWorkdays]

@endlessone07 that's probably what John Cleese is thinking too, the way he watches him...

[tomatoherb]

@endlessone07 he truly does.

[DougiesStarGirl93]

@endlessone07 he has a good woman's body too, haha (: great legs.

[JacobK97]

@endlessone07 I am looking forward to how many thumbs up you will get.

[MsMesem]

@endlessone07 Yes, but 'she' seems to only have one boob.

[badboy09480]

They didn't teach me to split an atom...

[DaVince21]

It's too possible.
