monty python football

[BatmanOneOhOne]

I think this is the quintessential Monty Python clip: a very silly idea with very intelligent writing.

[95Trini]

@Kuemmel234 when exactly is it so hard to follow? The comments in the end are funny even if you don't know much about Hegel, Kant or Marx. And the sketch is funny even if you don't know why they've put Nietzsche arguing with Hegel...

[almostcrime49]

"Aristotle very much the man in form" hahaha

[zeelandeastfootball]

Lame

[iamlrrr]

It was offside. And that is probably the only thing Marx has ever been right about.

[Kuemmel234]

@iamlrrr, oww, that is harsh. Well, read some Marx. Great ideas. And some of them are in use by you Americans.

Love this sketch. Very hard to follow if you don't know the historic charakters, though.

[virokstas]

@iamlrrr Ever read some Marx ? :D

[Darty105]

Well, it's just because those two places had huge amounts of philosophers.

[123home123]

Interesting how the video almost foreshadows the current situation in Europe, with the Greek government "battling" German creditors and politicians in the Euro crisis, with China being seen as a potential savior by providing massive amounts of funding to help prop up the Greeks and the Euro in general.

[timtranslates]

Blatant offside!

[Psythr666]

I'm surprised that Ayn Rand wasn't there as a cheerleader.

[Psythr666]

I literally saw this in my Philosophy class 2 days ago.

Yet another fine example as to why British humor is the best kind of humor.

[teganyavo]

"Aristotle very much the man in form"

Bow down, you peasants, to the King of Puns

[MunnitChops]

Disappointed that Hippocrates isn't in the Greek team... Maybe next match. :P

[sargentaaron2004]

@MunnitChops he was...

[MunnitChops]

@sargentaaron2004 No he wasn't... :S

[footNball]

$- U- 8 .... 4..... $- U- 8

[footNball]

good vid

[redman8903]

it was offside.

[MustBeEmo2]

@redman8903 commie

;)

[tikka212121]

apsolutely hilarious:)

[dannymaccyable]

Just messing but they get away with more back in those days don't ya recon'?

[dannymaccyable]

Ahh, racism in in most innocent form, back when people didn't care about it. It's not segregerity if it's ... Oh yes it is..

[nebblu]

watch the replay ... Marx was right

[Malangsufi]

The Greeks might have built the foundation for the basis of philosophy but it was the Germans who have brought it near perfection.

[DerekBCD]

Another conspicous joke they could have put in would to to make a few of the early Greek philosopher's under pants be on fire.

[mesticoprincesa]

This is one the greatest things I've seen ever. EVER.

[Interioroutbreak69]

I agree with the Germans, clearly that goal never happened.

[LANTZOI68]

action is better than words...great video,thanks from Greece!

[nickestone1]

Your comment is mix of stupid insults and half baked philosphising . What social change has philosophy ever produced ? None . Pythons joke is on you

[Fido1488]

@nickestone1 Is this a joke? Look around you, there is a philosophical basis for nearly all facets of society and human endeavors.

[OfficeThug]

@nickestone1 The Natural Sciences began from and eventually branched out of schools of philosophy. I hope you enjoy your computer, because if it wasn't for great thinkers in the past we'd still be stuck in the dark ages.

[Keepitonthedeck]

Happy very good thumbs up. If you get a chance check out some of the football vids on my page pal

[elendiel]

Aristotle very much the man in form =D

[RunRun613]

lmao karl marx killed me when he was warming up

[chuckybastard]

"There's the ball, there's the ball..." hahahahahaha!!

[alexnando9]

anyone noticed that the replay of the goal is different than the real one?

[KITCHENOFDISTINCTION]

GENIUS COMEDY. Cheers Pythons for enriching our lives.

[cossintan1]

"As you can see Nietzsche has just been booked for arguing with the referee. He accused Confucius of having no free will and Confucius, he say 'name go in book'."

[Spaced92]

"Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination ..... and Marx is claiming it was offside."

[Missbeansontoast]

@Spaced92 Marx was right -- always the practical one! :D

[nickestone1]

Marx in football as in philosophy was right !!!!!!!!!!

Philosphers have only interpreted the world the point is to change it.

[HeavyD2544]

@nickestone1 Leave to some douchebag on this video to make it an educational discussion. There's always one. Without Philosophy there would be no science, math, or social change. Philosophy is the origin of education. Without it, Marx could never have attempted to change a thing. Philosophers changed the world numerous times before Marx was even born. Enjoy the joke instead fuckhead.

[SchwarzundWeis]

beckenbauer was a bit of a let down. you would have expected him to perform better

[MrBlackmamba89]

He was way offsides

[viktorcarzavec]

typical win for Greece

[TheHanwoodTractor]

My Philosophy A-level finally pays off....

[JimKav1]

Yeah! That's right! When the other countries started playing football, We Greeks had already a cruciate ligament rupture or other injuries. And this thanks to Archimedes, one of the best mathematicians, physicists and engineers in history.

[ArgentinaTurismo1]

Genial el video, una idea muy inteligente y creativa. He disfrutado mucho viéndolo, y ahora me lo miro nuevamente.

[rimu5]

Marx with no solution but always has the reason.

[DannyMan167]

I thought Denmark with Kierkegaard would have a better showing in the tourney.

[aachavez00]

What's sad about this is knowing that out of all of these views only some people actually understand why it's so damn hilarious. What a crappy American school curriculum we have.

[rimu5]

@aachavez00 Agreed. I tried to show it when I was in high school but few people laughed yet I was dying as a football and as a huge philosophy fan. Especially when Karl Marx comes in.

[GrreenT]

@aachavez00 What is sad about this is knowing that your übersized pedantic ego prevents you from enjoying it like we ALL do. Go parade with whatever basic knowledge you have while we all pretend you are special.

[Emplon]

@aachavez00 we saw this in class :O

[Pendor42]

@aachavez00 not much better in europe dude. in fairness it's takes a fair amount of time. i jus plan to look into it over the years tbh

[Ivansrbija1989]

this link was given by our professor in peace and conflict for various political philosophers :)

[sihanling]

EPIC !!!!!!

[teri17]

Oh, this is so fantastic! Only way I watch sports, when philosophers are involved.

[JoeytheDon1000]

"Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an A-Priori adjunct of non-nationalistic ethics, Kant via the catergorical imperative is holding that ontologically exists only in the imagination... and Marx is claiming it was offside." Marx is the only sensible one.

[Missbeansontoast]

"And Marx is claiming it was offside." Always the practical one! XD

[theoriesofapocalypse]

well i meant philosophers vs presidents lol

[MawnU]

@theoriesofapocalypse That would be ending 5-0 for the Greek side... but then the Americans would nuke them in the 90th minute...

[bestyboi90]

better than arsenal...

[bestyboi90]

beckenbauer just standing there in a football kit

[theoriesofapocalypse]

shouldve been greece and america that wouldve been funny

[sh0xy]

@theoriesofapocalypse why? america has no historical persons like that.

[SuperPowerFighter]

Eurika!!!!

[CerealKid21]

The referee checks his sand...



[weebruceymctaylor]

I must say, I've always agreed with Karl Marx.

That WAS offside.

[Konishi010]

and marx is claiming its offsides

[vercasia]

...Heidegger covering :D

[4MarksMojo]

At least the greeks won, the Germans had horrible philosophers...theologians too.

[themisfitoddity]

@4MarksMojo oh wow you didn't say that

[vercasia]

@4MarksMojo well i think that in real philosophy discuisse Kant would kick-ass all of them.

[MrBear121]

@vercasia

Kant...Really? out of all the great minds on that pitch, you chose Kant?

Nietzsche! is WAAAYYYY better.

[LillaKrisu]

carl marxes warm up absolutely destroyed me :D

[BLong114]

Wish real futball was this exciting

[danijeelm8]

This is Nietzsches third booking in four game :)

[garr2991]

Is there a way to get this with subtitles?

[XxxxExclusivexxxX]

this is true comedy

[Feitanyo]

the referee is a woman

[MIKEGROOME]

Marx is warming up....

[johnnui]

And he say, name go in book.

[hrolvnir]

"....and Marx is claiming it's offsides."

[xpericfilms]

i like how there is actually a footballer called socrates.

[TanoBrati]

@xpericfilms

He passed away a couple of weeks ago.

[JustSomePerson888]

very very funny. plus in football a lot of players do wander around the pitch for ages, thinking.

[butifarra61]

the best ever!!!

[b82b14]

"Beckenbauer a bit of a surprise there"

[MIKEGROOME]

Marx warming up on the touch line.....

[dafyduck79]

muntchen :)

[Iffy350]

This can't be reality because the goalie was on the left side when the Greeks scored but when they showed the replay the goalie was on the right side of the German goal.

[dog5283]

R.I.P Sócrates

[MrSieish]

@dog5283 Aristotle killed him woops :|

[mooninanfield]

"Beckebauer, obviously a bit of a surprise..."

"And whose that, oh that's Karl Marx warming up on the sidelines...."

ROTFL!

This video is simply epic! :D

[kram83au]

cant believe i just seen that, no way was he onside for the goal.

[numchar]

who else came here after hearing about the death of socrates?

[Amusement73]

@numchar : I did:(

[alligator1235]

absolutely love it



[5656565656able]

R.I.P Socrates

[MikeyC586]

RIP Socrates

[classicalhero7]

@MikeyC586 And scored the winning Goal.

[manygate10]

@MikeyC586 The real footballer, yes!

[HarryDoesStuff]

"Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination, and Marx is claiming it was offside."

[joneseylfc]

as for the goal what a fucking move

[JackyVSO]

Marx was right: Socrates was offside.

[nowbellhere]

Didn't the Greeks just score a goal for the Germans? Yes, yes I have realized that a goal that is scored according to the paradoxical law of unversal duality must be scored against oneself, therefore the Germans actually won this contest!

[Gkats5513]

@nowbellhere After halftime, teams change goalposts...

[nowbellhere]

@Gkats5513 still I am not sure why all the Greeks were positioned on the side in which the goal was scored.

[ThePrez523]

Archimedes idea was that the Greeks actually play the game.

[baroh2413]

@ThePrez523 and Karl Marx made the only valid objection against the goal. So Archimedes and Karl Marx are the greatest football players in the history of philosophy.. besides Franz Beckenbauer

[MrMantanis]

etsi gamane aytoi pou sas xrwstane

[Mclarenboy100]

The Greeks can pwn Man U any day.

[zonjordan]

another video where i ask..HOW CAN YOU DISLIKE?!

[RaistMagus]

name go in book!

[polarbearoughey]

Knobby Hegel.



[dewden2]

Confucius he say, "Name go in book"

[MaghoxFr]

2:52 that's a quality goal!!!

[cariban8able]

I think this is the BEST Python's sketch of all!!!!!

[RallyMadLeitrim]

The replay is different to the original goal !

[totisleo1]

And now cry nazi bitches. You will never reach Greeks intellectual level so keep on crying bitches. Thumps up if you hate nazi!!!!

[Andy97009814]

@totisleo1 German and Nazi is not the same thing. Just saying.

[InvincibleNumanist]

@totisleo1

nobody thumbed up because german isnt the same thing as a nazi. Please tell me youre either joking or that you dont intend to vote or have children

[dalfvideos]

@totisleo1 Yes, sure, I hate Nazis!

But Germans aren't Nazis, in case you didn't knew, bro.

[rebel9ray]

1:42 There's the ball, there it is.

[ClaudioSanchezCC]

Imagine what the Greeks could've done had Hippocrites not been suspended

[ivanmarovic]

Now it's 2011 and it's Germany vs Greece again :)

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

The Pythons are essentially mad, without seeming so! This is no ordinary jest: Alone to call Aristotle the “sweeper” of Greek philosophy and “very much the man in form” is far too much and reveals a surplus classical education and knowledge; but sentences like “Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination” are way beyond normal!

[Lionboy1980]

THE GREEKS ARE GOING MAD LoL NICE EPIC ONE!

[RafaHenryBorges]

Man, Nietzsche is a troublemaker.

[THEEVANTHETOON]

Those Germans are such bad sports! They lose and then claim that reality doesn't exist...

[IXgamersHD]

/watch?v=L0BoFNB_OWA

[ulula97]

"Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination, and Marx is claiming it was offside!!!!"

[spacmonk]

He accused Confucius of having no free will, and Confucius he say "name go in book."

[MrMARKGY]

Greece - home of legends and philosophy - but now a country going down the pan.

[staskoteina]

@MrMARKGY no worries, Greece will spring back to her feet. We are bound to have another eureka and put it in action :D

[Celeon999A]

Call me a marxist if you want, but that was really offside :-D

[wcarrillod]

@Celeon999A Indeed.

[Ryodisis]

Why was beckanbauer standing still? :O

[mhali2eld]

...'and Marx is claiming it was offside'. roflmao

[MSGDK]

@alexjk1 και ύστερα σου λένε ο αθλητισμός ενώνει. αν είναι να βλέπω τέτοια τραγελαφικά σκηνικά σε γήπεδα, δεν θα ξαναπερηφανευτώ για καμμία ομάδα.

[MSGDK]

@alexjk1 ξέχασα! σε αυτούς τους πούστηδες και μουνόσκυλα ναζί είναι και ο ρεχάγκελ ε;

[alexjk1]

@MSGDK Αντε γαμησου και συ ρε μαλακα που κανεις τον εξυπνο με το Ρεχαγκελ....οτι θες καταλαβαινεις....

[MSGDK]

@alexjk1 οκ οπότε περιμένω η εθνική να επιστρέψει το κύπελλο γιατί το κατέκτησε με γερμανό! άντε γειά!!!

[alexjk1]

@MSGDK Εχεις μπερδεψει τη πουτσα με τη βουρτσα.....αντε γεια εσυ φιλαρακο....καλες πεινες!!!

[MSGDK]

@alexjk1 τις κατάρες σου κάντες στον βγενόπουλο και στον κόκκαλη.. άντε γιατί πολύ κράτησε το πανυγήρι....

[Masterofmyroom]

offside



[ElGoreBlog]

This is perfection!!

[bestyboi90]

beckenbauer obviously a surprise lol

[SystemJammer]

3:16 Hahahaha they still managed to throw in a reference to England being beaten by the Germans in the semi-final. I wonder who comprised the English midfield trio?

[Dolanification]

@SystemJammer Bacon, Hobbes, and Hume presumably. Might have been Locke in place of one of those three I named.

[JackyVSO]

@Dolanification

I'm pretty sure it's "Bentham, Locke and Hobbes"

[SystemJammer]

Beckenbauer seems out of his depth next to these "real" footballers.

[Nanu1318]

so fucking funny!!
