What in the Wild Wild World of Sports was that...?

deerwhacker444, dare I say it? You haven't lived, (well, not literally) until you've seen all 25 episodes of Monty Python's Flying Circus!!!! This was but one skit, as they call it, in one of the episodes. These guys were college buddys in late 1960's England, when the Hippie counter-culture was in its heyday, who decided to try to break into BBC television with a comedy show. One of my absolute favorites!! They're available on DVD as well as BBC America cable TV. jd45

Yep - funny stuff, and it is nice to see humor from overseas which actually pokes fun at bloated and ineffective bureaucracy - our 'mainstream' humorists just won't do that, especially now.

AJMD429, it's nice to know someone else on this forum appreciates their flavor of humor. I have to tell you when I first saw the series on PBS here in Chicago many years ago, it took me a few "go-arounds" to "get it" as they say. Then I was hooked! jd45

I have the full set on DVD.

HALLO!
35 years ago, we studiously memorized the penguin skit, vikings at the diner (spamspamspamspam), Mr. Gumby and most of the script of Monty Python's The Holy Grail. Their irreverent wit was so different, lighthearted, and often intellectual, compared to anything here that we ate it up. Probably too much.
RUN AWAYYYYY!

How about the cycling tour thru North Cornwall!!!!!? jd45

I appreciate the humor, as I've watched some of the Monte Python stuff. Unfortunately with my slow dial up, it would take me all night to watch it.

Hmmm... does this have anything to do with my earlier post?!?

[kimwcook]

You silly Kaniggets!

[gamekeeper]

I never missed a show when it first came out.
It was funny watching the older generation trying to understand the humor!
Now I'm an old fanny burp but I still love it!

[Borregos]

Seen 'em all, loved every one but I think the very early ones were somehow better than the later ones

Isn't it against some law or international treaty to make a Mel Brooks reference in a Monty Python post?

From the "Contractual Obligation Album"...

Inflammation of the foreskin reminds of your smile
I've had ballanital chancroids for quite a little while
I gave my heart to NSU that lovely night in June
I ache for you my darling, and I hope you get well soon

My clapped-out genitalia is not so bad for me
As the complete and utter failure every time I try to pee
My doctor says my buboes are the worst he's ever seen
My scrotum's painted orange and my balls are turning green

My heart is very tender though the parts are awful raw
You might have been infected but you never were a bore
I'm dying of your love, my love, I'm your spirochaetal clown
I've left my body to science but I'm afraid they've turned it down

My penile warts your herpes, my syphilitic sores
Your moenelial infetion, how I miss you more and more
Your dnob's itch my scrumpox, our lovely gonorrhoea
At least we both were lying when we said that we were clear

Our syphilic kisses sealed the secret of our tryst
You gave me scrotal pustules with a quick flick of your wrist
Your trichovaginitis sent shivers down my spine
I got snail tracks in my anus when you spirochaetes met mine

Gonoccalurethritis, streptocalbalinitis
Meningo myelitis, diplococcal cephalitis
Epididymitis interstitial keratitis
Syphilitic choroiditis and anterior uveitis

LEAD PIRATE:
Full speed ahead, Mr. Cohen!

CHORUS:
Up, up, up your premium. Up, up, up your premium.
PIRATE:
Scribble away!
CHORUS:
Up, up, up your premium.
PIRATE:
And balance the books.
CHORUS:
Up, up, up your premium.
PIRATE:
Scribble away!
CHORUS:
Up, up, up your premium.
PIRATE:
But manage the books.
CHORUS:
Up, up, up.

PIRATES:
It's fun to charter an accountant
And sail the wide accountancy,
To find, explore the funds offshore
And skirt the shoals of bankruptcy!

It can be manly in insurance.
We'll up your premium semi-annually.
It's all tax deductible.
We're fairly incorruptible,
We're sailing on the wide accountancy!

LEAD PIRATE:
Oh, this is fun, Mr. Cohen!
PIRATE:
Sail away!...
CHORUS:
Up, up, up...
LEAD PIRATE:
Fetch me another exotic salute. To port! Bring her port to shell out! And the medium guys shell out to port! Balance the books! Bring me another small shellfish, Mr. Cohen...

Beethoven's gone, but his music lives on,
And Mozart don't go shopping no more.
You'll never meet Liszt or Brahms again,
And Elgar doesn't answer the door.
Schubert and Chopin used to chuckle and laugh,
Whilst composing a long symphony,
But one hundred and fifty years later,
There's very little of them left to see.

They're decomposing composers.
There's nothing much anyone can do.
You can still hear Beethoven,
But Beethoven cannot hear you.

Handel and Haydn and Rachmaninov
Enjoyed a nice drink with their meal,
But nowadays, no one will serve them,
And their gravy is left to congeal.

Verdi and Wagner delighted the crowds
With their highly original sound.
The pianos they played are still working,
But they're both six feet underground.

They're decomposing composers.
There's less of them every year.
You can say what you like to Debussy,
But there's not much of him left to hear.

Claude Achille Debussy-- Died, 1918.

Christophe Willebald Gluck-- Died, 1787.

Carl Maria von Weber-- Not at all well, 1825. Died, 1826.

Giacomo Meyerbeer-- Still alive, 1863. Not still alive, 1864.

Modeste Mussorgsky-- 1880, going to parties. No fun anymore, 1881.

Johan Nepomuk Hummel-- Chatting away nineteen to the dozen with his mates down the pub every evening, 1836. 1837, nothing.
