Monty Python - Summarize Proust Competition Uncensored

All the videos of this sketch that I've seen here are the censored version, so I figured I'd upload this. It's from one of my old Python videos that I taped from PBS.

For those that don't know, the line "Strangling animals, golf, and masturbating" was censored by the BBC when this episode first aired. Then for the first Flying Circus DVD release, it was not only censored, but the scene was actually re-cut to only say "Golf and strangling animals". This video has the original, unedited line intact.

I don't own Monty Python.

Can anyone hear what he's saying in French? I'd like to translate it, but he's speaking too quickly for me to tell what he's saying.

According to the MP "Just the Words" script site, it's "la malade imaginaire de recondition et de toute surveillance est bientôt la même chose"

[ReneeMontoya12]

But are you sure that it's "recondition," not "recognition?" "Recondition" doesn't seem to be a word.

I have no idea, I just copied and pasted from the site, which may very well have errors. And no problem.

A perfect satire of the troubles of composers in setting texts polyphonically!

This is a basic look at why Graham Chapman is my favorite Python.

Also, those are some fantastic sweater puppies.

Graham Chapman said the same thing!

The original Wario Ware.

They bitched about "masterbating," but didn't complain about "the girl with the biggest tits." The British. Go figure. LOL!

Smashing...there are 2 of them that I ain't ever tried.
