A Compendium of 150 Monty Python Sketches

December 1, 2006

Monty Python Spanish InquisitionMy wife requested that I post a particular Monty Python skit on the site. Well, posting just one Python video is right out!

No, here at One Man’s Institute for the Exceptional Documentation of Silly Time Wasting Videos we have a rule that one shall post no fewer than 150 videos – and the number of videos posted shall be 150.

Therefore, being that my wife is an HR manager and has to interview tons and tons of mackerels, and furthermore since she gets a kick out of Monty Python’s classic Silly Job Interview… RIGHT! On with it then!

(In fact, as I understand it she conducts all of her own interviews in this manner. Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink. Say no more.)

Additionally, in the spirit of being Halibut, I’ve spent a truly silly amount of time sifting through applicants, while wearing pantys and a bra. No I didn’t! Yes – you did! Right. On with it!

A Monty Python sketch in which a chap called members of the press down to the beach to witness him leap over the English Channel. Was the chap Michael Palin or Terry Jones?

Great site! I am trying to track down a Python sketch that I only heard once years ago and only the audio. As I recall, it was John Cleese and he was Beezlebub (I think) and was separating people into groups for assignment to various parts of Hell. That’s all I know and I am hoping you or those who visit the site might be able to sort this out for me. Thanks!

I think you’re after a Rowan Atkinson sketch in which he plays the devil. The John Cleese connection may be because the two have worked together on Amnesty International benefits, so maybe you’ve seen John Cleese do the sketch himself sometime.

I love everything Rowan Atkinson has done, almost all anyways.

Brings back a lot of memories of watching these. Thanks for the post.

You really do have a huge variety of topics on this blog! One minute I’m reading about Woopra and the next I find this GOLD MINE of Monty Python links! This is definitely in my favorites! I could watch The Holy Grail – Bloody Peasants! sketch a thousand times. You inspired me to pull that movie out of my collection for this weekend.

Our wee dog was chewing on yet another bit of wood.
Naturally I started reciting the glid of gloode to my goode wife.
Didn’t get past the calmly standing bit.(ho hum).
This may have been caused from the whole excessive age/alcohol thing.
In any event I would like somebody else to verify that such a skit existed and possibly supply the text.
Not to retrieve any dignity (long gone) just for personal interest.
P.S.Wasn’t game to download any of the sketches (very limited limit thingy) but did have some seriously funny flashbacks browsing through them Noel

Thankyou for this. I just love the Spanish Inquisition one of course but there is so much here I have never seen or possibly forgotten about, (Once you get past 40 the mind starts to go)
Living in Spain most people don’t get the Nudge Nudge Wink Wink references!

These are great, thanks for the list :P. Many of the links are broken now, though, and a few of them are repeats, so I don’t think there ever really were 150 XD.

Does anyone know the name of the sketch where an old guy (mayor or something) is opening a new hospital wing or similar. He’s wheeled out on a mobile lecturn but he can’t think of anything to say except “um” and “ah” repeatedly?
Cheers.

The Hermit sketch (from Life of Brian, right?) is on MP’s youtube channel.

Can anybody remember the sketch about S & M? Something about finding a drawing pin and saving it for later???
