So I watched Monty Python: Life of Brian while stoned yesterday....

[rebgirl420]

And I must say that it is now in my Top 5 when it comes to favorite movies.

I laughed so hard that it hurt to breath. I am a HUGE Monty Python fan and every time I see anything with the cast it leaves me in stitches.

I really want to see Spamalot also.



So anyone up to discuss Monty Python?

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

i tried to watch that one, but due to the lack of subtitles or at least closed captioning, i got nothing out of it and stopped it almost half way through.


however, other monty python bits and movies DID have subtitles, so those were fully enjoyable!


call Confuse a cat!

[SunnyD]

OMG finally Monty Python ADVOCATES!!!

YEA!!! But seriously, Search for the holy grail...kills me every time, no joke!

Favorite stoner movies??? and I mean movies with pot as main plot, and fave movies to watch while "potted" ha

[rebgirl420]

My top few jokes:

Reg: All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
Attendee: Brought peace?
Reg: Oh, peace - shut up!

Reg: There is not one of us who would not gladly suffer death to rid this country of the Romans once and for all.
Dissenter: Uh, well, one.
Reg: Oh, yeah, yeah, there's one. But otherwise, we're solid.

[a line of prisoners files past a jailer]
Coordinator: Crucifixion?
Prisoner: Yes.
Coordinator: Good. Out of the door, line on the left, one cross each.
[Next prisoner]
Coordinator: Crucifixion?
Mr. Cheeky: Er, no, freedom actually.
Coordinator: What?
Mr. Cheeky: Yeah, they said I hadn't done anything and I could go and live on an island somewhere.
Coordinator: Oh I say, that's very nice. Well, off you go then.
Mr. Cheeky: No, I'm just pulling your leg, it's crucifixion really.
Coordinator: [laughing] Oh yes, very good. Well...
Mr. Cheeky: Yes I know, out of the door, one cross each, line on the left.

Ex-Leper: Okay, sir, my final offer: half a shekel for an old ex-leper?
Brian: Did you say "ex-leper"?
Ex-Leper: That's right, sir, 16 years behind a veil and proud of it, sir.
Brian: Well, what happened?
Ex-Leper: Oh, cured, sir.
Brian: Cured?
Ex-Leper: Yes sir, bloody miracle, sir. Bless you!
Brian: Who cured you?
Ex-Leper: Jesus did, sir. I was hopping along, minding my own business, all of a sudden, up he comes, cures me! One minute I'm a leper with a trade, next minute my livelihood's gone. Not so much as a by-your-leave! "You're cured, mate." Bloody do-gooder.

Matthias: Look, I don't think it should be a sin, just for saying "Jehovah".
[Everyone gasps]
Jewish Official: You're only making it worse for yourself!
Matthias: Making it worse? How can it be worse? Jehovah! Jehovah! Jehovah!
Jewish Official: I'm warning you! If you say "Jehovah" one more time (gets hit with rock) RIGHT! Who did that? Come on, who did it?
Stoners: She did! She did! (suddenly speaking as men) He! He did! He!
Jewish Official: Was it you?
Stoner: Yes.
Jewish Official: Right...
Stoner: Well you did say "Jehovah. "
[Crowd throws rocks at the stoner]
Jewish Official: STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT RIGHT NOW! STOP IT! All right, no one is to stone _anyone_ until I blow this whistle. Even... and I want to make this absolutely clear... even if they do say, "Jehovah. "
[Crowd stones the Jewish Official to death]

You just don't see humor like that anymore!

When I was a kid my Dad got me into Monty Python stuff and I've been hooked ever since.

Oh and I almost forgot to mention how hot the crew was! Sure now they are in their 60's and such but at the time, grrr.

Nothing is better than a guy that can make me crack up.


You just KNOW they all had to be smokers.

[SunnyD]

Would YOU possibly think of anything as hillariously original as that withOUT a mind-altering (I prefer opening vs. altering) drug??

Course not...

Ever watch Faulty Towers??? Best Farce in the world

[rebgirl420]

Haha I know.

And no I haven't seen that. But if I can find it at Blockbuster I'll pick it up.

Here's a classic scene - Don't mention the war ;)

Basil Fawlty is played by John Cleese, he's the owner of a small hotel in the seaside town of torquay.

[Basil, after a recent head concussion, is taking dinner orders from a German group.]
Younger Herr: May we have two eggs mayonnaises, please?
Basil: Certainly! Why not, why not indeed? We are all friends now, eh? All in the Market together, old differences forgotten, and no need at all to mention the war. SORRY! Sorry. What was it again?
Elder Herr: A prawn cocktail.
Basil: Oh, prawn! That was it! When you said "prawn", I thought you said "war". Oh, yâ?? Oh, the war! Oh, yes, completely slipped my mind! Yes, I'd forgotten all about it. Hitler, Himmler, and all that lot... Oh, yes, completely forgotten it, just like that.
[He looks around for a moment in confusion.]
Basil: Sorry. What was it again?
Elder Herr: A prawn cocktail!
Basil: Oh, yes, Eva Prawn. Yes, of course. And Goebbels too, he's another one I can hardly remember at all.
Younger Herr: And ein pickled herring!
Basil: Hermann Goering, yes, yes, and, uh, von Ribbentrop, that was another one.
Elder Herr: And four cold meat salads, please.
Basil: Certainly. Well, I'll just get your hors d'oeuvres... hors d'oeuvres vich must be obeyed at all times wizout question! Sorry! Sorry!
[Polly enters the dining room.]
Polly: Mr. Fawlty, will you please call your wife immediately?
[Basil looks around frantically.]
Basil: Sybil? Sybiâ?? She's in the hospital, you silly girl!
Polly: Yes, call her there!
Basil: I can't! I've got too much to do. [whispering loudly] Listen, don't mention the war! I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it alright.
[Basil returns to the Germans.]
Basil: So! It's all forgotten now, and let's hear no more about it. So, that's two egg mayonnaise, a prawn Goebbels, a Hermann Goering, and four Colditz salads.
[The younger Frau is sobbing openly now, consoled by the elder Herr.]
Basil: Now, wait a minute. Well, I got a bit confused here. Sorry! I got a bit confused, 'cause everyone keeps mentioning the war. So, could youâ?? what's the matter?
Elder Herr: It's all right.
Basil: Is there something wrong?
Elder Herr: Will you stop talking about the war?!
Basil: ME?! You started it!
Elder Herr: We did not start it!
Basil: Yes you did â?? you invaded Poland.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Basil attempts to cheer up the younger Frau.]
Basil: Here, watch! Who's this, then?
[does Hitler impression]
[Younger Frau sobs even harder.]
Basil: I'll do the funny walk!
[Basil goosesteps a la The Ministry of Silly Walks in and out of the dining room]
Younger Herr: Stop it!! STOP IT!!
Basil: I'm trying to cheer her up, you stupid Kraut!
Elder Herr: It's not funny for her.
Basil: FUNNY?! NOT FUNNY?! You're joking!
Elder Herr: It's not funny for her, not for us, not for any German people!!
Basil: You have absolutely NO sense of humor, do you?!
Younger Herr: THIS IS NOT FUNNY!!!
Basil: WHO WON THE BLOODY WAR ANYWAY?!

:rastasmoke:

[Breukelen advocaat]

Haha I know.

And no I haven't seen that. But if I can find it at Blockbuster I'll pick it up.
Fawlty Towers is available from Netflix, and they also have at least some of the episodes online so you don't have to get it in the mail. I enjoyed that show.

[SunnyD]

Here's some news about Cleese:

Cleese 'prefers lemur over peerage'

Monty Python star John Cleese revealed that he regarded having a species of lemur named after him as a greater honour than a knighthood or a peerage.

The comic actor returned to Bristol Zoo Gardens to discuss conservation, his childhood in the West Country and three fund-raising performances to be held within the grounds of the zoo.

Cleese, who went to school at Clifton College, near Bristol Zoo Gardens, visited the zoo as a boy and fell in love with lemurs at an early age.

The 68-year-old, well known for his role as Basil Fawlty in BBC sitcom Fawlty Towers, came face to face with one of his favourite creatures at the zoo - Colin the red ruffed lemur.

Cleese has been back to visit the zoo on several occasions and has championed lemur conservation for many years.

As a result of his campaigning work, a new species of woolly lemur was named after him - Avahi cleesei.

The animal was discovered in Madagascar by Urs Thalmann of Zurich University.

Speaking at the zoo, Cleese - who declined a CBE in 1996 - said having the species named after him was a higher honour than a knighthood.

He said: "Well, I've had a species named after me. A Swiss guy discovered it. He called and asked if I will give him permission to name it after me.

"I would rather have that than a knighthood or peerage."

The Press Association: Cleese 'prefers lemur over peerage' (http://ukpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5gvV5AoYKKDS3CIKJRNNTPmZ3nyww)

Hell yeah hahaha.

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

holy carp how long has your signature been about the holy grenade?!? XD i laughed so hard just now!

[Nightcrewman]

Have a look at this, apparently the life of Brian is still banned in a small Welsh town after nearly 30 years, how crazy can you get I think it is the local vicar who needs to get a life.

BBC NEWS | Wales | Mid Wales | Mayor wants Python film ban ended (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/mid/7514423.stm)


Cheers

[rebgirl420]

That's the most un-silliest town ever.

[ATrain]

Life of Brian is HILARIOUS! I never stop laughing at
Brian: Excuse me. Are you the Judean People's Front?
Reg: Fuck off! We're the People's Front of Judea

Of all the Monty Python moments though few beat the following from Holy Grail :jointsmile:

King Arthur: Old woman.
Dennis: Man.
King Arthur: Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?
Dennis: I'm 37.
King Arthur: What?
Dennis: I'm 37. I'm not old.
King Arthur: Well I can't just call you "man".
Dennis: Well you could say "Dennis".
King Arthur: I didn't know you were called Dennis.
Dennis: Well you didn't bother to find out did you?
King Arthur: I did say sorry about the "old woman", but from behind you looked...
Dennis: What I object to is you automatically treat me like an inferior.
King Arthur: Well I am king.
Dennis: Oh, king eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.
King Arthur: I am your king.
Woman: Well I didn't vote for you.
King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.
Woman: Well how'd you become king then?
[Angelic music plays... ]
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.
Dennis: [interrupting] Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Dennis: Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.

Dennis: Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.

Dennis: Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!
King Arthur: Bloody peasant!
Dennis: Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about! Did you see him repressing me? You saw him, Didn't you?

My favorite scene in the whole movie

[Reefer Rogue]

Gotta love Monty

[Nightcrewman]

I was digging through some old VHS tapes the other day and I came across the Lumberjack song I had forgotten just how funny it was, it ranks up there with the dead parrot sketch.
I will put a couple of links below or anyone who has not had the pleasure of seeing them before.
Long live Monty Python.

This is fantastic, first time on the board and there's Monty Python fans.

Has anyone seen the argument sketch? A personal fav.

One of my favorite lines from Life of Brian:

Follower - "He's the messiah!"
Mom - "He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!"

ps, I have a "Romani Ite Domum" sticker on my guitar case.
