British Army, Monty Python marching up and down the square, hilarious.

Training manual for the Guards 💂‍♂️

Filmed at Colchester Cavalry Barracks hence the living accommodation above the stables, in later life it was used for training purposes were I did my basic training having joined the T.A. Royal Artillery. There were also lads from other Regiments.

He's voice must have been ruined .

The r.s.m says staff sergeant you're the one who will be marching up and down the square

Is this the same actor who gave us Pontius Pilate from The Life of Brian? Yes it is - Michael Palin is a legendary comic actor.

After seeing this sketch since 1976 45,674 times, now i watch it in various slow motion views:
"W e l l now"

Gary Oldman the most versatile modern actor. Michael Palin, just try and count all his acting roles, thousands and each one a totally different human being.

Nice, really nice... But Biggus Dickus is his masterpiece.

I'd rather be learning how to defend myself against an homicidal maniac carrying a banana.

The skit is sheer genius.

I grew up an Army Brat. I can assure you, it's NOT like this! But this is hysterical!!!
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

PLAYIN' THE PIANO?!!

Benny Hill in the army.

I have all Monty Python at home 👍😅😂😂😂

It's a cunning plan, walking up and down the square. That's how we will win wars. God help us all when a war starts with Boris johnson is in charge. Or an advertisement for tory brexitland army recruitment THEY ALL LEAVE!

"LEARNING THE PIANO!"

The officer who tried to act tough but is afraid of actually telling people no

Love that clip, love Monty Python ❤ two mistakes first they call the drill instructor sarge when he's actually ranked colour Sargent, and then at the end promotes himself to Sargent Major 😅

So many of Monty Python sketches have become reality ''inclusive'' the woke ''humanised'' Britain forces.

How on earth did his voice survive this?...

Palin is a brilliant actor.

I'd follow that Sgt Major into the gates of hell, lol.

Lol Sergeant major lost his Flight.

Why edit it?

While the rest of the gang were no slouches, to me, Palin has always been the most comical one.

The sheer absurdity of the Pythons formed the subversive and dry side of my humor and I thank them.

Certainly not the army I joined in 1968.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

The representation of public education these days, especially with poorly implemented UDL.

Fantastic and still funny all these years later. Am i right in thinking George Harrison of the Beatles financed this film and others?

Thanks

Pretty chill captain.

Unbelievable as guards never say yes.

Youd think he was joking until he starts marching himself X.D

The irony.

😂😂😂 VERY FUNNY

NCOs could learn something from this...as Im about 95% sure the DI herr just wanted the day off 😂

he has a wife you know.

LeArNING tHe PiAnO!!!??

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

adoro

Brilliant one 😂! "Everybody happy with my little plan of marching up and down the square?" 😅

In my opinion the funniest line ever in M.P. is from the parrot sketch. He was talking about the parrot not moving..........."it was probably tired and shagged out after a long squawk" Brilliant line

I had never seen this episode....cool!

Rudyard Kipling also not a fan of marching up and down yhe square

World would be a better place if Monty Python had been in charge I reckon

Absolute shite, only retards would find this in the slight bit humorous!

The officer was being post-ironic here before being post-ironic became cool.

I'm at home with the wife and kids, but I'd rather be marching up and down the square.
