Monty Python

[Ellie]

Anyone here a fan of Monty Python? Ni?

Meh. I just ordered Life of Brian, but I dunno how many times I have watched all of the films. And now for something completely different is great too.

Well I tell you. I never wanted to be a hairdresser, cutting the same hair every day of my life... I want to be a Lumberjack! Swinging from tree to tree as I walk down British columbia!

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night, I work all day
He's a Lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day

I'm a Lumberjack I eat my lunch, I go to the lava-tree
On Wednesday I go shopping, have buttered scones for tea
He's a Lumberjack he eats his lunch, he goes to the lava-tree
On Wednesday he'll go shopping, have butter scones for tea

I cut down trees, I skip and jump, I like to press wild flowers
I put on women's clothing, and hang around in bars!
He's a lumberjack he skips and jumps, he likes to press wild flowers
He puts on... women's clothing? And hangs around in bars?

I'm a Lumberjack I wear high heels, suspenders and a bra
I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear Mama!
He's a lumberjack he wear's high heels, suspenders and a bra...

Nice.

Except you made a little mistake. At the beginning of every verse, it's "I cut down trees". Not "I'm a lumberjack".


Sorry, I'm a bit of a perfectionist.:D


The python boys are great. Especially Eric Idle, he wrote some great songs. My particlular favourite is "I bet you they won't play this song on the radio".:lol:

This is 'Other Entertainment' seeming as Monty Python happens to create films, not video games or computer programs. I must say though, I am a fan of Monty Python films, every one I've seen hasn't failed to amuse me.

 

[Japa]

I fart in your general direction.

 

[Dopples]

Bring out your dead!

 

[Kest]

This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace!

And now, time for the penguin on top of your television set to explode.

 

[Ellie]

Indeed.

@Andy: Doh! I swear this is where I put it. Ah well.

Can't beat the Arthur Pewty sketch lol. Gotta see that one if you haven't, it's probably on youtube or google video somewhere.

 

[ryanwh]

The show is pretty lame, I loved Meaning of Life though.

 

[Despain v.1]

Isn't it like British SNL or something.

 

[Ellie]

No lol. Monty Python is a sort of comedy group, they did four films and then TV series' and stuff.

They did:
And now for something completely different
The Holy Grail
Meaning of Life
Life of Brian

(The programming language Python is even named after them)

 

[WeAreSuperhero]

I performed the Dead Parrot with Lumberjack Song for a talent show. It was fucking incredible. I love those lads.

 

[Ellie]

Whoah, cool!

I take it Despain is American then, seems all the British people have at least heard of the Pythons.

 

[Wings]

I love Monty, however when watching the same skit over and over again...it can become rather boring. Actually have been thinking about the DVD set, but it is so very expensive. -_-

 

[Ellie]

I ordered Life of Brian off Ebay for just £5.50 with postage, and that's new. Which is pretty cheap compared to everywhere else.

 

[DerVVulfman]

Try this one. Somewhere in my study I got an old... 3 1/2" Floppy of "Monty Python Flying Circus Game."

Pic with link to unofficial site describing it.

Though, it was kinda cheesy. No parrots, a few human-headed fish and only 1 giant squashing foot from what I remember.

 

[Japa]

Between mine and DerVVulfman's post, is a post that knows how not to be seen.

Mr post, will you stand UP, please.

...
...

See?

 

[Ellie]

Mr Post knows exactly how to stay hidden. Being hidden in a forum full of posts, where could he be? The perfect hiding place. Almost.
*Clicking, sound of a shot being fired, whole 'Other Entertainment' board blows up*

That's one way of finding out where Mr. Post is!

 

[Despain v.1]

I take it Despain is American then, seems all the British people have at least heard of the Pythons.

Of course I'm American. I'm Despain.

Also I have heard of Monty Python but never really followed it. After seeing some commercials for some Monty Python DVDs, the clips they showed just looked really stupid and I sorta steered away from it. Maybe they just chose bad clips.

 

[Japa]

Nah, you probably just don't get the humor.

In my experience, British and American humor are mutually incompatible, ie. If you find one funny, you are likely to find the other one to be stupid.

 

[Ellie]

That's why American remakes of British comedies, such as Hitchhikers, are generally crap.
