REACTING TO MONTY PYTHON | Ministry Of Silly Walks!

It's 2024 not 2023 Megan lol

You should check out Rowan Atkinson and the Invisible Drum Solo. Very funny!!

At the time the big Anglo/French cooperation was Concorde.

When I was younger I used to swear that the girl I married had to get Monty Python ;) Boys, head this advice!

And this was when John Cleese was a young man, even then it just seemed humanly impossible is that anyone could move that way.

You may be surprised at how many people would get the reference. The Silly Walk remains one of the Pythons' most beloved sketches.

The long line queued up outside the shop at the beginning, is related to another sketch in the original show.

They have actually established various silly walk zones in cities around the U.S. and it’s quite funny😅😅😅

Next one....the brilliant Fish Slapping Dance.

Silly walk flash mob!

“It would be much sillier with government backing”. Genius, pure genius .

"Le poof celebre!"

Someone makes a clock face of mr cleeses’ image of this charactor with his legs being the timepieces hands😊

What is La puffs?

Cleese's ability to keep a straight face whilst doing something utterly ludicrous is just amazing.

I love the political commentary on how government spends money on nonsense. The guy from the Ministry was complaining that the Silly Walks Ministry got less money (some 250 million pounds) than the Defense Ministry.

I've often wondered about the people on the streets of whatever town they happened to be filming an outdoor scene. How many of them were aware of the program that was being filmed and were enjoying the fact that they might see themselves on "tellie". Of course there were no doubt some who had no idea over what was about, and ended up not knowing that they were on a television program later in the year.

"La Marche Futile" gets me every time.

It's a really smart premise that people will lie through their teeth to get a free handout from the government.

January 7th is the International Silly Walk Day, if I'm not mistaken. There are events and mobs doing it.

This show aired on the local pbs station when I was a kid. It was the last program aired every weeknight. I almost died laughing when I saw this. I was 12

I reckon lots would still get the reference, even today!

I have the original John Cleese 'pocket watch' wall clock: his legs are the minute/hour hands and a twirling umbrella is the second hand. No matter the time of day it always makes me smile. A cheaper reproduction version of the clock is being made again, as this skit is being rediscovered and made popular by a younger generation, and can be purchased at all the usual discount online outlets. You can also buy European/British Yield signs with an illustration of the silly walk in the triangle. I presume it means "yield for silly walkers".

The Silly Walk is one issue... but... a ministry - funded by taxpayers who are overstressed by taxes much less silly ones - is the Bigger Joke to consider over time. Just imagine paying $600 for a hammer that normally sells for $20? Or $1000 toilet seats instead of the K-Mart blue-light specials at $19;95? (plus sales tax, of course)

Still waiting for the next Rising Damp, my fav episode is next!!!

Once in a while I actually do a silly walk in public. Just some steps, and after that acting normal. Try it.

Good reaction

John Cleese famously hated this sketch. When they first went on tour and they performed this sketch the audience didn’t laugh at all. When he got off stage, Cleese told the other Pythons to take it out of the show because it wasn’t funny, but they all told him to do it again the next night and if the audience still didn’t laugh, then they’d take it out. So they did it the next night and, of course, the audience fell about laughing, so it stayed a fixture of their stage shows. Cleese admitted later on that, when he was throwing his legs around and the audience were laughing so loud they couldn’t hear them, he would whisper to Michael Palin, ‘This is the worst sketch you’ve ever written, Mike.’

Could you link me to the video you were watching? I've seen the full video before, but can't find it anymore; I can only find a small clip.

If you did a silly walk in London you'd be arrested for an Ableist Hate Crime.

Just like almost all comedy, was funny back then..... isnt funny now.

im sorry... but this is obviously fake.. because women has NEVER find python funny... EVER...... so either she is faking it, or she is a man.. or she is the best women ever to be walking this planet... and we all know what it is right?... NI!!!!!!!

I just love seeing you laugh...

I'm pretty sure at least half of the people you'd meet in London would get the reference, and that's mainly because you'll run into a lot of foreigners who might not be as familiar with Monty Python (then again, they are world famous).

Missing part of the eyebrows?

A great sketch…sad John Cleese left the series,but still gave us Fawlty Towers and the films

❤️👍😊

On the news today… absolutely crazy lady found doing backflips and some other strange duck walks, when asked why she was doing it, she said she was just trying to get home to react to more Monty python lmao

It's far better to live as a lunatic. You never have to justify your actions. This is indeed genius comedy. Thank you.

I recommend you find the sketch that goes with these words ,,
Two Soups 😀🥣🥣

I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was an actual department in Government today. If I walked around with a LEGO brick in my socks, do you think I could get a grant Megan? 😉

Hahaha another great reaction video Megan, haven't seen this sketch for years but it still creased me up ! Have you seen any Trigger Happy TV ? Give it a go ! Great stuff, keep them coming 🤣👍

John Cleese eventually needed a hip replacement which he put down to having to perform this sketch in one form or another whenever Python went on tour. 😅

Morning Megan how are you? Congratulations on 6K subscribers once again here & you deserve it so much! 🎉👏 John Cleese character here is so bloody hilarious doing that ridiculous walk here & thank god I don't see anyone here in London doing that on the streets here lol! 🤣🤣👍❤️

If you're wondering why there are so many brown coated people in the road - they are (natural) Gas fitters from the earlier New Gas Cooker Sketch, which ended up in a farce of a lot of fitters none of whom would be insured to install the cooker.

Hey Megan
I hesitated to watch this as from the title it sounded stupid.
The thing is, it was so totally stupid that it made me laugh so much.
Thanks Megan i should trust in you whatever the title. Watching you enjoy makes my days ❤

Of all John Cleese's condiderable comedic achievements, it's probably this for which he's most famous. He became reluctant to reprise it, but did so for one episode of Fawlty Towers, 'The Germans'. His natural gangly frame helped. I never fail to lose it at 'Mrs Two Lumps'. Nice one, Megan. Keep rockin' it girl.
