Monty Python - 'Undertaker's Sketch'
Loading...
Uploaded by jvujcic on Jul 26, 2008
Probably the sickest Monty Python bit and possibly one of my favourites. John Cleese wants to bury his dead mother and Graham Champan has some quite twisted offers about that predicament...

One of my favourites

@AFistfulofAnime He looked more like acting the worried producer to me

"Well, I do feel a bit peckish."
Genius.

I wish the reactions were authentic, but I believe it was all staged. How wonderful to insult an audience. Still one of my favorite Python sketches along with the one making fun of Godardlike "art" films with Terry Jones meeting the woman in a dump and then cutting away to various scenes of violence. Silly but smart stuff. No one can touch the Pythons.

the sickest!
-
I think it was an authentic audience, but they were told when and how to re-act at certain points of the sketch. If you look at the "grins" on many of their faces at the end, they clearly are not actors.
-
i like the way you can hear one of them shout 'it's only a sketch!' as the crowd r rushing down
-
what makes it so great is the fact that they acknowledge how sick it is
-
only league of gentlemen matches this

@rockerkitch1990 The BBC would only allow the sketch to run if the audience was heard to heckle and seen to invade the set - totally contrived in fact and very poorly executed - the heckling started way too soon and the audience invasion was rubbish. See the Wikipedia entry for R -v- Dudley and Stephens which deals with the sketch towards the end.

How to tell if the audience were acting or it was a real protest.
Were the audience British? Yes.
Did they act peacefully and complain quietly afterwards amongst themselves? No.
They were actors.

"....Look....we'll eat her, and if you happen to fee a bit guilty about it afterwards, we'll dig a grave and you can throw up in it!"
One of the best dark humor punch-lines ever!
