Pope and Michaelangelo

[ArthurStern]

Three Jesuses are calling their lawyers right now to claim portrait rights.

[sheogorath19]

a very different way to put Rodrigo Borgia on the screen :)

[ristau]

Oh dear! It took me hours!

[steve354777]

Re the comment by Zarimus below - I wonder if this was inspired by the 1573 Inquisition hearing of Paolo Veronese for his "Last Supper". I can just see it - "What? No dwarves!?" Veronese' solution was also to rename the painting after another incident in Jesus' life - a party held in his honour by a wealthy tax collector - "The Feast in the House of Levi". Unlike the Pope in this skit, the Inqusition apparently accepted the change of title and nothing more was said.

[Broezzz]

I paint in my spare time and I totally wanna paint this sometime :D

[024Vishal]

Cleese really does deserve to be Pope.

[stormbringer365]

This is made even funnier by the fact that Leonardo da Vinci was the one who painted the last supper, not Michelangelo.

[Zarimus]

There is actually such a painting by Paolo Veronese called The Feast In The House of Levi. A last supper painting with dwarves, buffoons, drunken Germans and whatnot. It was supposed to be a proper Last Supper painting and there was quite a scandal about it.

[hollowaymccartney]

Eric Idle looks so fine in those tights >:D 

[werothegreat]

@Kayorenbe That's the point.

[jfreakjedi]

The pope sounds like Obi Wan kenobi at the end of episode 3

[Robi2009]

Why Michaelangelo is Australian? Kangaroos, "mate" etc.?

[Stroija]

@Robi2009 Well I don't believe that aussies are the only people in the world that know kangaroos excist and brits use "mate" as well.

[PUPUCIENTO]

are they too jewish?

[PUPUCIENTO]

What Kangaroo?!

[CanadianBroad2008]

"ONE!?!?" ... best line ever.

[scoutdogproductions]

This is sooooo funny!!! We watched it in social studies!!! "What kangaroo?" "He's right in the back!"

[JollyGothicKid]

"Now will you please tell me what in god's name possessed you to paint this with THREE CHRIST'S in it?!"

"It works, mate!"

"WORKS!?"

"Yeah! It looks GREAT! The fat one balances the two skinny ones."

Hilarious. Monty Python really knows how to put humor in religious acts. and for that I'm thankful.

[elgostine]

BEST..SKETCH EVER...

[thetrollking124]

the pope raped more children than michael jackson.

[HelenaVanCity]

@thetrollking124 Either get a sense of humor or get the fuck outta here. Seriously!

[thetrollking124]

@HelenaVanCity lol u mad bro?

[HelenaVanCity]

Penultimate Supper! Aaaaaaaah! Help!

[PoisedSilverWolf]

one christ? who has only one christ? lol

[Thundermonkeyms]

Bwahahaha "Is it the jello you don't like?" XD

[MusakMike]

Omg i want to see this painting!

[MichaelBrookham]

I am a practising Catholic, but I liked this. I thought it was funny how he painted it with three Christs in it. Remember -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Perhaps that is what he was trying to show.

[AmericanNohbuddy]

Better than Saturday Night Live.

[Ataume]

28 disciples disliked this video, as did the kangaroo... (I'm sooo sorry! I normally hate these kind of things, but it was just too good not to mention.)

[drpinto28]

@Ataume thumbs him up thats funny

[Trixxie1965]

It works, mate!! WORKS?! Yeah, it looks great!! The fat one balances the two skinny ones!!!

[MrMthornstrom]

the last but one supper!

[pigoutultra]

there were 13 at the last supper and he painted 31, lol

[MichaelBrookham]

@pigoutultra Perhaps he was dyslexic -- thinking 31 is 13.

[hirightnow]

kangaroo?

[jokr8790]

Trampoline Act?

[matssm123]

are they to jewish. LOL

[matssm123]

micheleangelo started the picture, but the pope did not like it, so he gave the commision to Da Vinci

[bassdudemike]

not trying to ruin it but da vinci drew the last supper

[186mjn]

@bassdudemike Micheleangelo started it and Da Vinci finished it.

[GenJohnnyN]

Seems like the kangoroo became a disciple anyways :D

[uqdesign]

my favourite :D

[muiebozgorilor]

what does he say at 3:36 ?

[ssparrow331]

@muiebozgorilor "May not know much about art, but I know what I like"

[BloodskullMannoroth]

@muiebozgorilor "May not know much about art but I know what I like."

[sendanor]

Interesting thing about this sketch is that it was probably inspired by the inquisition process on the Venetian painter Paolo Veronese, who had to change his 'final snack-supper' into the title 'Christ in the house of Levi", which also shows J.C. in some mother of a blowout.....

[NIJoe6]

Is there a Link to the Picture?

[AlantheOttoman]

29 people failed to paint "The Last Supper" properly.

[sendanor]

@AlantheOttoman Are they too kangaroo-ish, mate :-D??

[AlantheOttoman]

@sendanor Yeah. Besides that, we have three Christs when there should be ONE and twenty-eight disciples instead of only twelve.

[sendanor]

@AlantheOttoman OK...no sweat mate, you know what, we will ridiculize 'em til they're blue in the mouth! :-D

[ccgal15888]

29 bloody facists don't know much about art, but they know what they like :)

[RAAWRimmaPANDA]

Leonardo painted the Last Supper..

[theinfectiondrummer]

@RAAWRimmaPANDA That's the joke

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

Monsieur Cleese has clearly in his countenance what folk does call natural authority! This is why he plays in Monty Python all the key authority figures, which do make the life on our cosy little planet free prosperous and save life Adolf Hitler, the Pope, English officers, Reg (leader of the terrorist organisation People’s Front of Judea), Sir Lancelot the Brave, the right hand of Pontius Pilate, managers or police officers. I think the authority folk should take him for their role model!

[rockindude30]

I want to see Michealanglos Last Supper it sounds awsome really sounds like a real mother if a blowout

[squeakyXD1]

I'm not happy about it.  Oh dear it too me hours

[squeakyXD1]

Not the last meal or the final snack. I wanted to give the impression of a real MOTHER OF A BLOW OUT!!

[ixcreme]

lmao im having a hard time eating cereal and watching this

[Judatopclan]

templargags. com

[bernardmcbride]

[Andrewmation855]

[BranwynCheesentim]

28 dislikers?! That's TOO MANY dislikers!

[Alvaris]

28 kangaroos were painted out as disciples

[XXXPopeBenedictXVI]

'Look I'm the bloody pope I am!' - Now that I liked.

[1960salm]

didn't leonardo da vinci paint the last supper???

[Mauzeah]

@1960salm And now we know why!

[unshallowifyable]

@1960salm Michaelangelo probably got the tender first... then lost it to Da Vinci because of this ;)

[angusmcbagpipes]

No pleasing some people!

[ZachValkyrie]

28 disciples disliked this video

[EvilDrCuddlesFriend]

[001hamish]

26 people who take religion wayyyyy tooo serious!!

Alway's look on the bright side of life!! ;D

[Amberpaw11]

-NOW A LAST SUPPER IS WHAT I COMMISSIONED AND A LAST SUPPER IS WHAT I WANT WITH 12 DISCIPLES AND ONE CHRIST!!!

-ONE!?

[BattlefieldGamesRock]

the penultimate supper.... i like it better, its got a kangaroo and a mariachi band, well and 3 Christs and a fat one.

[kagasan2008]

1:13 is where the ride really begins. I love this sketch.

[Zecoatl]

Half of this whole joke plays off of how the pope comissioned Michelangelo to do pcitures of from the New Testament on the Sistine chapel, but instead, Michelangelo did Old Testament.

He was a rebel that Michy!

xD

[Trixxie1965]

this just gets funnier every time!!!

[6642633]

II just wonder

If they are still youthful and at the peak of their career nowadays

I just wonder with my thoughts!

How would they portrait or perform Osama Beladen and al Qaada !?

I wish I can see that!

its just a wish :-)

[harleygypsy2003]

love british humour, esp. monty python

[lmetal]

"The final snack" rofl

[b6zzzzzz]

Look! I'm the bloody pope, I am!!

[AccidentalGhost]

Eric is pretty hot in that suit...hehehe. :P

[GreatQueenFan]

@AccidentalGhost yeah yeah. i can say he is...

[Granadaseggel]

Very funny, especially for people having their job in education or consultation and having similar situations daily ( in the position of the pope, I hope) ;-)

[ericalbatross1969]

It works mate! Eric's great.

[NicholasC713]

"12 disciples and one Christ!" "One??"

[bernardmcbride]

@NicholasC713 but i think the fat one balances the two skiny ones

[Maphysto]

@NicholasC713 LOOK, I'M THE BLOODY POPE, I AM!

[MrTrekkie204]

@NicholasC713 YES ONE! Now Will you please tell me what in God's name possessed you to paint this with THREE CHRISTS in it!

[MrAgod92]

[AndurilWielder]

Artists. Gotta love 'em.

[jasdav182]

[ElFlea0]

[GhastlyOnesRule]

The Pope doesn't like The Last Supper

: "Oh dear..It took me hours"

:)

[ElFlea0]

didn't  Da Vinci paint the last super?

[XxlilxlilixX]

@ElFlea0 yeah...now you see the reason why HE painted it...xD

[agntsmith]

@ElFlea0 thats the joke, it is Michelangelo's Last Supper

[cwasson68]

at 2:36 he said "Even if they had conjurer and a mariachi band"

[diazaman]

Bravo!.........Peace n' Tanks for opening wyse eyes! COmmine cents !! 5 diamonds q;{>

[emeraldstream]

OMG 2:50 LOL Eric Idle: ONE????

[FranzWinter]

what does the pope say at 2:36 please? i dont understand it. thx.

[TrevynPlantard]

Franz, he says "The last supper is a signifigant event in the life of our lord, the Penultamate supper was not."

[FranzWinter]

@TrevynPlantard Thx, but that was not the sentence i did not understand! It was the NEXT sentence, starting with "Even if..." that i don't understand.

[gbalah162]

@FranzWinter then he says, "even if they had a conjurer and a mariachi band

[DirectorDissonance]

26 thumbs downs?? If you don't think this is funny, then you're wrong.

[cyberdragonessmaster]

you know historically speaking this it pretty accurate the real Pope and Michelangelo hated each other to

[Flulu92]

'OOOOONE????' xDDD

I LOVE it.

[mysteriousfedora]

One of Monty Python's best in my opinion. Well, maybe not their best, but their "Pretty-good-because-we-got-ov­er-2000-hits-on-it-haha-to-you­-few-bloody-haters-that-think-­this-may-be-crap-because-it-wa­s-well-thought-out-well-pretty­-well-thought-out-but-that's-n­ot-the-point-the-point-is-is-t­hat-this-is-a-great-sketch" video.

[ILoveHandles]

No wonder Michaelangelo's isn't the official version.

At least we ended up with da Vinci's.

Wonder if the former's still floating about somewheres?

[fwub]

I rather like the idea of the Penultimate supper. BRING ON THE 28 DISCIPLES, THREE CHRISTS AND KANGAROOS!

[BringbackLKandMX]

@AntiVaccine Yea I don't understand what you mean because THIS VIDEO IS A COMEDY!

[BringbackLKandMX]

@AntiVaccine F*** off not on this video.

[frankydman]

@AntiVaccine

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH IT ANNOYS ME WHEN PEOPLE LIKE YOU POST GARBAGE LIKE THAT!!!!!

If you are going to post a comment, make that it regards the video, NOT SOME SPAM SH**

Thumbs down for you!

[mysteriousfedora]

@frankydman Spam Spam SPAMALOT!

[mojoboy1984]

the fat one balancing 2 skinny ones ! Very good line .

[xemily91]

"ONE?!" hahahahaha! This is Idle & Cleese at their top. too amazingly funny. (:

[GreatQueenFan]

One of my favourite videos of Monty Python. But actually I have a great difficalty to understand their accent! I love love love Eric. His expressions... This is a real artistic point of view... If I had to draw the last supper It would be as crazy as this one!

And has anyone noticed that he talks about photographers when cameras had not invented yet?! X-D

[letswatchstuff2009]

I'm the bloody Pope - brilliant xD

[thepoofication]

BLOODY BRILLIANT !!! :D

[larrydelamb]

bloody fascist? well er ye. we wont go in to that!

[justlooseit8567]

John Clease and Eric Idle were pure comic genious'. There is no other explanaition!

I've watched this multiple times and i just can't stop laughing!

Thank you Monty Python!

[frankydman]

So...

If Da Vinci was perfect, and Michaelangelo took too many liberties, I wonder how Rafael would have painted "The Last Supper"

[dsparentsr]

Or Splinter, or even Shredder!

JK

[frankydman]

@dsparentsr

NO NO NO, not the TMNT character!!!

Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, better known simply as Rafael, was a Renaissance era artist best known for works such as "The School of Athens" and "Madonna del Prato"

[heisatai]

@frankydman

It was a joke, directed at the fact that the only Renaissance artists you know share names with TMNT characters

[frankydman]

@heisatai

Dont be ridiculous, of course I know others besides the names shared with the TMNT characters:

Lorenzo Lotti, also known as Lorenzetto

Durante Alberti, best known for the famous 'Martyr's Painting' in the Main Chapel of the Venerable English College in Rome

Giovanni Bellini, the best known member of the Bellini family, having painted such works as "The Feast of the Gods" and "Le Christ Bénissant"

Do you want me to keep going?

[heisatai]

First, I want you to quit quoting Wikipedia. . . Actually that's my only point.

[frankydman]

@heisatai

YOU CANT PROVE THAT!

lol

[lisperiini]

This is great! Leonardo maybeen have problems whit pope all ready but Michaelangelo was imposible! LOL

[mercychaplet]

... the fat one balances the two skinny ones - rofl!!! - seriously!! I've got tears rolling down my cheeks...

[theeightsin]

yeah, this is the reason they took leonardo's version instead of his.

[Razz1024]

ROFL

[justlooseit8567]

ONE?!!! OMG!!!! THIS IS THE BEST!!!!

[jerryhello100]

How about a little artistic license.

[MurdocCross]

Didn't Leonardo Da Vinci paint The Last Supper?

[bluesun7777]

Yes. Maybe this is why they had him do it instead of Michealangelo. =P

[UberMan5000]

Yeah, and this is why they went with that version instead of the one Michelangelo made.

[samarasayshi]

@MurdocCross

multiple artists did depictions of the Last Supper...and I suppose this one was never shown to the public (XD)

[SilverSapphireStudio]

@MurdocCross There are multiple last suppers. da Vinci's is a fresco in Milan. Michelangelo's is in Rome. ;)

[ALaudun]

I have never seen this one-3 christs & 28 disciples.

[Blackmetal9000]

i crack up everytime when eric says "OONNE!?"

[cfrayser88]

Haha! Same here :P

[klaymor73]
