Monty Python - Rugby and Football Matches

[BeefJoeZ]

I love the names of the rugby teams

[drixg555]

I heard the Captain Hook Impersonators fared better in their matches...except for that time against a team called the Mindoro Salt-Water Crocodiles, in which they were thoroughly trounced.

[homemadepro]

I suspected one of those Long John Silver impersonators were gonna get hit.

[aethefox7]

SAVE!

[jeevesthepunk]

2:37 i'm sure they are far enough ahead to not need to resort to cheating

[brentmcd]

favorite part - 2:35 - the gynecologists miss a sitter ;)

[PHATSAM]

The Lady Mayoress has great legs...mmm...

[GSJacket]

Cleese can really play football pretty well O_o

[ludocrat]

Graham Chapman sounds like he from Cardiff - via Trinidad. The rest is just very silly.

[creakyprop]

@ludocrat Cliff morgan was a regular BBC rugby commentator in the 70s, and former Welsh international- actually a pretty good impersonation.

[ludocrat]

@creakyprop I do know who Cliff Morgan is - and you are right! I'd quite forgotten how slightly odd his accent was and Chapman catches that well.

[KRS1LEGEND]

fuck mad tv

[Dalboni]

I am Brazilian and i love Monty Python. If u know a little about History, Geography and General Knowledge u will be entertained

[craell]

That was funny as hell! Go Long Johns! haha FTW.

[georgeammorris]

how come the kiwi guy being interviewed has a springbok accent? =/

[jimmyzo3o]

@georgeammorris He's not supposed to be a Kiwi... he's meant to be Welsh (and has a Welsh accent to go with, Chapman does a great impersonation), as the Welsh are the big Rugby nuts in the UK.

[SenLinFu]

@jimmyzo3o Well, in the '70 (Monty Pythons time, nay?) Wales made chopsticks of all international teams..

[dakota1987p]

It's so funny to see all the Americans commenting on Monty Python clips, like "wtf this is shit", because it's so surreal.

The hyper-ironic, surrealist comedy of Monty Python and Blackadder and the like is what makes 'British Humour'. American's and the World call it 'British Humour' because it has to be separated from traditional comedy; in this segregation you admit you don't understand it and therefore can't insult it.

Don't criticise what you can't understand.

[GooseberrySerum]

@dakota1987p I'm not as much of a fan of Monty Python as many others, but I adore Blackadder. That being said, I would hardly call it surrealist. Funny, yes. Different, yes. I never thought of it as being surreal, however.

[gnryeah]

@dakota1987p Hear hear...

[dharmaseed]

@dakota1987 I am American and actually prefer the subtle Python above the in-your-face, laced-with-obscenities American counterpart of today. The issue with a lot of people disliking Python seems to be that their comedy forces you to think, rather than just handing out cheap insults and pandering to the lowest common denominator. Streuth!

[ChrisBlackandGold]

hehehehe

[blueprintwizard]

Eric has a knack for scoring goals with his head, if i'm not mistaken in the philosophy football he was Sokrates who scored for the Greeks

[greg5566]

If you've enjoyed the show half as much as we've enjoyed doing it, then we've enjoyed it twice as much as you. I love that.

[xThzz]

all blacks are the best!

[IsCumaFut2]

howdid they get the all blacks to perform in this

[RSVPBlogger]

I suspect that this wasn't really the All Blacks, and that it was actually a bunch of high school students wearing black jerseys.

[adenak]

gee YA THINK??

thanks captain obvious

fucking retard

[RSVPBlogger]

@adenak - I suspect you didn't realise I was answering the question asked by IsCumaFut2 below. But thank you for sharing your charming personality with us all :)

[dyb928]

@adenak I mean I think some of those guys were actually taking it seriously and rsvp was just explaining that to them. DICK.

[eisenkreuzmusik]

arr arr arr

[jazzx251]

Lol - that second bit reminds me of Scotland's defence.

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

The Lord Mayor! He cannot be stopped! There is no defense against such height!

[BlackLelie]

The way he says 'Easy' so true...Haha

[miraculousdraculous]

LONG JOHN SILVERRRRR

[nzkiwipride]

haha, brilliant. I love me some Monty Python. Go AB's!

[CrusaderKnight7]

lol, my friend would be pissed if se saw this. the All Blacks are her favorite team in the world.

[has9]

if you have enjoyed the show half as much as we doing it, then we have enjoyed it twice as much as you :)

[GLove39]

so funny!

[Applemask]

@has9 *giant 16 ton weight falls from hammerspace*

[philster61]

Bearing in mind that the seeds of Monty Python were sown in New Zealand. Graham Chapman did one of his first comedy revues down there along with John Cleese. Note that whilst in New Zealand, Cleese was eventually relieved of his virginity (not with Chapman) at the age of 24 in Customs street,Auckland in 1964. What better way to pay tribure to those humble frutiful beginnings than by featuring the All Blacks in a skit.

[philster61]

This is really funny.

[hwgatw68]

The Chairman of the Highways and Byways Committee, although injury prone, always comes through with a clutch play for the Council!

[Mitche23]

love the 16 ton weight

[endlessone07]

Damn that Watford Long John Silver Impersonators must be tough lol.

[C4Warhead]

Temur20, All Blacks is the New Zealand national team, known for performing the Haka to intimidate opponents before matches.

[mccsa200]

and for being the best :-)

don't mention the world cup

[mrscry]

What's the haka??

[C4Warhead]

The Haka is a ceremonial dance of the Māori of New Zealand. Although varied in form and function, the Haka most popularly performed is a variation of the war-haka. Used to intimidate opponents and profess strength and battle prowess, the dance incorporates stamping of the feet, slapping of the thighs and arms, chants, grunts and facial contortions. It is a fearsome display when done correctly.

[sealteam06]

isnt the Haka what most college football teams do now... like i think The Ohio State does it... when they are in the big circle

[C4Warhead]

Do a search for Haka on YouTube, you'll find quite a few examples of it being done right. I'm not sure what Ohio State does, if they're doing it in a circle, it's probably a Jerk, not a Haka.

[sealteam06]

hahahaha the circle is a jerk?! a Circle Jerk?!

sorry i found that funny... on a more serious note i tried to look up whatever it is colleges do and im pretty sure they dont call it a Haka

[djax4mvp]

NO!

[Jakjoebob]

which episode is this from?

[Temur20]

hahaha all blacks !!!! hahaha...

[Yagunitto]

Cool!

[GoldenGal42]

*only watched it so she could under Jasper Carrott's joke on Monty Python*

I never understand their football/rugby matches, I prefer their other stuff like Flying Lessons or the Holy Grail.

[skosobucki]

yes indeed, cant go wrong with python. But when you add football u must watch

[johnlemmon]

brilliant & classic Python...

thanks for putting this on...

[Ukka68]

[lifeinsepia]

[k2pblcnme]

haha like an early MXC (team titles)

[Ukka68]

I can't breath Im laughing so hard. btw its Welsh!

[freeindeed7]

funny! I can't place Graham's accent, though.

[gothdawn1966]

Think it's supposed to be Welsh. Probably Swansea!

[boredboringbeing]

Abertawe not "Swansea" >:(

[iwantanswers]

dude that must be real game footage

[19ThePurplePython93]

Graham, John, Eric, Terry G, Terry J and Michael

Nope, no one called Monty here

[kstringer24]

Chapman's accent sounds like a cross between scottish and south african.

[Gibbo118]

At least 3 of those goals were offside, time for goal line technology methinks

[Placentypus]

There was no "Monty" in the Monty Pythons.

[SoldatCrinale]

YAR!
