This skit and others were aired in Germany and Austria, to fulfill demand. The Monty Pythons learned their lines phonetically if they spoke no German. It is amazingly well done, a tribute to hard work and an eye for the local cultures.

IT’S…..Sumerian

@@iancurtis1152 BURMESE! (I beg your pardon. I paniced).

@@Innerspace100 😁

Shades of the four Yorkshire Men 🇬🇧🤓😎✌🏻

CHEESE ???🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Thought that was a Yorkshire vs Lancashire dig from Parky the Yorkshireman.

@@simonsimon325 - Even though Parkinson reads the line, it is pure MPFC gold. A trademark back-handed comment about the previous sentence.

I'm talking total bollocks anyway lol. I thought there was a place called Cheam in Greater Manchester, but there isn't so it's got nothing to do with the Pennines rivalry.

He seemed more like the gala luncheon type, frankly.

Tungsten carbide drills? Bloody fancy talk once you got on KZfaq!

Legit?

Probably

B O O!!

Most artists and creatives skew left, historically. It's why fascists hate artistic freedom.

@@Pagliacci_Rex Why would the Italian trade union movement from the 1930s hate artistic freedom, if they're also on the left?

@@seamusbyrne7820 lol, the term was coined in 1919 by Mussolini and what makes you think a union is automatically left wing?

This isn't a sketch.

Glad to see your words here. Curious: You don't think they could get away with it now? It seems like folks would be starving for genius like TNS. After all, those puppets are a far cry from the kind of evisceration scripted TV can deliver. TNS was truly amazing programming. Will never forget getting to see it back in the late 80s. Yank here, too, fwiw, and felt quite ripped off by nearly all American TV after seeing this. Still do, come to think of it. RIP, Ric. Never anyone close to him. 🌍🇬🇧🔭✨🌙💙🙏

its cute but in the long term labour became part of the establishment ruling class long, long before 1970, this is largely indisputable monty python making cutsie wootsie films like that was just what uk rulers permitted and permit now- no real societal choice except that we can feel good that one part of the ruling class employed funnier clowns i hate to say it but monty python in doing this is in the long tradition of court jesters, the peasants can have a laugh while nothing ever changes but in a way its not surprising-monty python were a bunch of oxbridge graduates working for the bbc-background is serving the ruling class now, i dont deny that monty python were hilarious but to pretend that were somehow subversing the staid ununderstanding establishment is unrealistic at best

Now we have digital canvassing and by phone and labor is fo gutted they can't win a general election for nothing.

The "JARGON" sketch was reminiscent of the way former President Trump used to pull phony numbers out of thin air without anything to back them up!

You need to be more specific with this group.

It's not a joke.

Looks similar. Off to research it.

It was not him. But I can see why folks might think so.

I thought the same thing.

So? It's also 50 years ago. Labour were a different animal back then.

It's not a pro-Labour commercial, it's a Labour Party training film.

That sketch predates this by about three years. It was first performed on "At Last the 1948 Show" in 1967.

@@premanadi Ah - thanks :D then the comment should read “3 yorkshiremen - revisited”

They were four, weren't they...?

@@Innerspace100 Turns out one identified as a mouse ….

@@whynottalklikeapirat Oh dear...

Michael Palin thought so too😁

The Yorkshire sketch had been on ‘Not the 1948 show’ a year or two earlier.

Tim Brooke-Taylor wrote it years before this.

It was not, but there was a resemblance.

Indeed.

Si

No, that was three years earlier, in 1967. At Last the 1948 Show.

🤦

It is zero wonder that you cower behind a fraudulent fake "name"!

I was 18 and was far too green, gullible and influenced by my parents' middle class political preferences. Cleese always played the posh bloke and Chapman the slightly out-there one. So I was the 'floating voter who couldn't make up their mind. Some months later I was a college drop-out and am sure I would have run away with Alan Rickman given half a chance 😅.
