2:07 "Quite frankly, I'm against people who give vent to their loquacity by extraneous bombastic circumlocution". Loquacity: the quality of talking a great deal; talkativeness. Circumlocution: the use of many words where fewer would do, especially in a deliberate attempt to be vague or evasive.
In layman's terms: People who use inflated language that means nothing at all to satisfy their inability to shut the fuck up. Ironic in this sketch of course.
"It's not a proper sketch without a proper punchline"..."RHYTHM METHOD" Why these guys are like that book you have that you can reread over and over and find something new each time.
"Once I married someone who was beautiful and young and gay and free....whatever happened to her?" "You divorced her and married me!" **random applause**
I did this sketch at a talent show at my school the whole crowd was practically dying when my friend came out dressed as a woman and when he said "i dont take the pill cuz its nasty" even the principal laughed.
This sketch is so strange. It borders on uncomfortable at times and doesn't quite flow as well as the 'classic' sketches - but Palin's waiter and Eric Idle's outburst of 'Rhythm Method' at the end get me every time! It's like a lesser known Python gem.
It's really funny how Idle's woman in this sketch is basically like every single TH-cam commenter; she always complains about everything and then randomly switches to talking about a facet of her life that nobody cares about. Yes, I'm aware of the irony that I myself am a TH-cam commenter, but if there's one thing I've learned from the Chaps, it's that life is absurd, and the best response is to go with it and find reasons to make yourself laugh.
She's ending each of her diatribes with a crack about how she has the possibility of bearing children, which I always interpreted as somewhat threatening. "As nasty as this person is, what's worse is that she can make MORE."
that was actually an extraneous bombastic comment on a pretty absurd sketch. When i was a child I attended a birthday party where a real private clown was invited.Nobody laughed. The clown was embarassed and the host furious
There’s a basic plot about a restaurant here, but I always felt like they also threw in any spare lines they had written which didn’t pan out into a full sketch idea, but were funny on their own and they wanted to get them in the show, like the Greek actor having his soliloquy denied by Cleese. This sketch is super random even by Python standards. Also, Palin’s “…not for food, anyway” is my pick for most underrated joke in the series.
Anyone else notice how the crowd seems to react when he says, "I might be pregnant"? (0:33) I seem to hear more people taking offense to that than laughing. Odd.
First time seeing "Monty Python" was "around" 1973 with my Dad.Started Terry's weird graphics> I didn't know it was a humour conglamerate. Thought I was having an acid flashback.Years later I showed my 7 kiddies and since they don't speak English they got bored.
This episode was the reason that, for a period of a few years, my go-to phrase for commenting on a newly wed couple was: "He'll be the ruination of her rhythm method!"
I don't know what's more disturbing, the fact that Eric Idle is wearing women's clothing or the fact that he is actually conceivable as a real woman? Now that's scary!
Well I must be off,or I'll spoil..Janet!*clap**odd interlude of music* Oh I don;t like that I think its silly,Of course nobody cares what I think (pops popcorn and joins in waiting)
"Would you care for a glass of blood?" Oh what a Giveaway! No,we'd like to see the menu please,dont think its a proper restaurant unless they have a proper menu,and anyway,I might be pregnant

"We're not only proud of it; we're smug about it."
Haha that's accurate.
They should have called the show Monty Nostradamus’ Flying Circus.
I missed the restaurant bit, oh, I’m the entree; oh, no….
@@MrBiggles53.. that might be confusing and difficult at this point in their careers.
Said no vegetarian…
one of the thing I love about eric Idle is that he's the best woman in the group and he doesn't even has to change his voice or wear a wig xD

"Quite frankly, I'm against people who give vent to their loquacity by extraneous bombastic circumlocution".
Loquacity: the quality of talking a great deal; talkativeness.
Circumlocution: the use of many words where fewer would do, especially in a deliberate attempt to
be vague or evasive.
You explained that in a very *roundabout* way.
In layman's terms: People who use inflated language that means nothing at all to satisfy their inability to shut the fuck up.
Ironic in this sketch of course.
Sometimes, Shirley, I think you're almost human....
Mochrie99 Of course I'm human, and stop calling me Shirley...
... ooh, I don't like _that._
"It's not a proper sketch without a proper punchline"..."RHYTHM METHOD"
Why these guys are like that book you have that you can reread over and over and find something new each time.
"I'm stupid! I'm muggins!"
2:00 You can see John Cleese struggling not to crack.
"You haven't seen my wife anywhere, have you?"
"No, sir, I haven't."
"Oh, thank God for that."
The deadpan delivery is awesome. XD
"Once I married someone who was beautiful and young and gay and free....whatever happened to her?"
"You divorced her and married me!"
**random applause**
I really enjoy this sketch, I'm not only proud of that; I'm smug about it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I definitely judge you for that. Smugly.
This is actually probably one of my favorite sketches. There's just so much packed into it.
...not for food, anyway.
I did this sketch at a talent show at my school the whole crowd was practically dying when my friend came out dressed as a woman and when he said "i dont take the pill cuz its nasty" even the principal laughed.
This just made me want to go watch Flying Circus. Something fabulous about the word-smithing, the deadpan presentation of surrealism, the whole thing.
Every sketch they didn't' use on their show, all in one sketch.
"D'you know, I....still wet my bed...."
This sketch is so strange. It borders on uncomfortable at times and doesn't quite flow as well as the 'classic' sketches - but Palin's waiter and Eric Idle's outburst of 'Rhythm Method' at the end get me every time! It's like a lesser known Python gem.
The. Most. Random. Sketch. Ever. Nice!
Yeah, it's a lot of vinetted smaller ideas that would normally be a whole sketch on their own but they jammed them all together with nice results.
Lets see:
The Ridiculous Wife, The abusive waiter, the philosopher, and cannibalism.
It's really funny how Idle's woman in this sketch is basically like every single TH-cam commenter; she always complains about everything and then randomly switches to talking about a facet of her life that nobody cares about.

When i was a child I attended a birthday party where a real private clown was invited.Nobody laughed. The clown was embarassed and the host furious
more women like that around than i would like.
It's simple, most people think about wether something 's good or not and then switch to supporting their opinion with their experience.
I love the albatross callback. "Ever since you've married me, Douglas! You've treated me like an albatross."
Also "There's a dead bishop in the lobby, sir" "I don't know who keeps bringin' em in here."
I love Eric's rants especially when you can't follow them any more.
Of all the Monty Python guys Eric Idle makes the prettiest lady :-)
I'm sure he/she is flattered.
Eric Idle's character in this has me absolutely howling 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Two things:
1. the Homicidal Barber has found himself a job apparently;
2. 2:37 speak of a Graham, as they say...
I'm not only proud to be a true Monty Python fan, I'm smug about it.
John Cleese and Eric Idle are AWESOME in this sketch
The headwaiter will be along to abuse you in a few moments.
I love how they work so many gags into one sketch
Tareltonlives Agree and that it always comes back to the original idea of the nattering wife.
Forgot about this one... another cannibalism theme... tee hee hee. Keep sharing these... thanks!
"No it doesn't!"
"sorry."
.... gold.
Every time I watch this sketch I have a distinct sense of deja-vu.
I only felt like that the first time I watched it.
He's arranging to sell his wife as meat...;)
"We're not only proud of that, we're smug about it."
It's a shame this is true for so many vegetarians.
Wonder how this sketch would be had the restaurant been one with a Paleo menu. 😅
Classic, idle at his best.
1:32 - 1:40 that's about right.
The only thing hotter than young Eric Idle is Eric Idle as a woman.
Reminds me of the Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Yup. Formica is used for counters and such.
somehow I think this is the craziest sketch that MP has ever done.
But why Dorset?
Two words; Fucking surreal.
+c0gsinc0gs One word: Fucking.
Four words: More words than you
No, it DOESN'T!
+koprej sorry. (walks off)
'...glass of blood. Oh! What give-a-way!'
.. not for food anyways...
Love it!

Also, Palin’s “…not for food, anyway” is my pick for most underrated joke in the series.
Would you like a glass of blood - OOh! What a giveaway!
John and Eric try not laugh as Terry is rolled in
Only these guys could pull it off, and certainly only for those with a sense of humour !!
"I don't take the pill cause it's nasty" EPIC WIN!
Albatross!
im very happy to be here
The ancient Greek actor . One of the few times the show made an absurdist joke that didn't work.
Why did you like your own comment? 🥴
Another one I haven't seen! Not bad! (I'm beginning to suspect the Australian Censor didn't let them all through in the early 1970's.)
Between this sketch and one character in the last video I watched being named Turpin, I'm guessing someone's a Christopher Bond fan.
This may well have been one of their most absurd sketches
There will now be a whopping great Intermission, during which, small ice creams in very large boxes will be sold.
Eric is so cute. 😊
"Sometimes Shirley, I think you're almost human"
Cleese is channeling a bit of Basil Fawlty in this sketch
Did Douglas Adams lift a bit of this sketch for The Dish of the Day?
That's exactly what I thought upon viewing this sketch .
me three
Douglas Adams knew the Pythons and sometimes worked with some of them, so there may be a common origin, yeah.
He might have helped write this one, so he was fine grabbing a bit from this one. Everybody takes stuff from work from time to time...
what I thought
I once married a woman who beautiful,young gay and free....whatever happened to her
You DIVORCED her and married ME
always loved this skit, just so totally nonsensical.
3:35 Douglas Adams massively ripped this bit off!
"WE WOULDN'T DO IT...not for food anyway."
I'm a straight girl and for some reason I'm really attracted to Eric as a woman. I seriously hope I'm not alone in this xD
You're probably a closet lezza or bi, but you just don't care to admit it!
Flexible is good... bi curious I'd say ;)
Maybe its a fetish?
OMG! Me too! I don't know why, he's just really appealing dressed like that. The wig especially goes so well with his face.
I think it might be the way he does his voice... right timber and frequency and such.
Yeah that what he says according to the subtitles of the DVD.
The music is "Theme from 'A Summer Place'".
Lemon Curry?
‘…but on the other hand…’ 👌🏻😄
Looks as if they were reading the Bald Soprano.
The blonde cloakroom girl is Swedish Ewa Aulin, from the film Candy (1968).
David Walliams tried this lady bit in Little Britain! Well, this is the original Sauce! HAHAHA
*intermission music*
Now for a great whopping intermission where smal ice creams in large boxes will be sold!"
3:35. So that's where Douglas Adams got it from...
I really love the.. um... the.. ermm..
..
oh forget it
Where has this sketch been hiding?
I love this bit, one of my very favourites. Makes no sense at all.
Anyone else notice how the crowd seems to react when he says, "I might be pregnant"? (0:33) I seem to hear more people taking offense to that than laughing. Odd.
"Not for food, anyway."

1:58-2:01
Cleese corpsing
Classic humor.
@MsHannahMCR Only Eric Idle in this particular scene, or other pythons crossdessing aswell?
Psst! It's "the mighty owl of Thebes".
Carry on.
You always were late weren't you thompson?
Hello Headmaster,what are you doing here!!
fine ,fine fine thank you,fine thank you
Monty Python leftovers.
I don't know what's more disturbing, the fact that Eric Idle is wearing women's clothing or the fact that he is actually conceivable as a real woman? Now that's scary!
would you like a glass of blood?
oH WHAT A GIVE AWAY!
lol
He'll be the ruination of her....rhythm method
Well I must be off,or I'll spoil..Janet!*clap**odd interlude of music*
Oh I don;t like that I think its silly,Of course nobody cares what I think
(pops popcorn and joins in waiting)
How do you know if somebody is a vegetarian?
They will tell you, proudly.
And repeatedly.
Oh what a giveaway hahahaha
They must be good at it then :P
RHYTHM METHOD!
I got an Applebee's ad on this video o_O
A Shakespearean actor attempts to fit in but he can't...it's theater of the absurd.
I actually know someone just like Eric Idle's character... scary! XD
Eric Idle is a beautiful and convincing lady. xD
"Would you care for a glass of blood?"
Oh what a Giveaway!
No,we'd like to see the menu please,dont think its a proper restaurant unless they have a proper menu,and anyway,I might be pregnant
Man: WOMEN EY!!?
Woman: ???
Man: *goes home to beat one out and crys
But now i have time...who should i take..should i go to the dentist..or..where..
WE WOULDN'T DO IT!
Is it weird that, me being a straight guy, totally understands what you're talking about?
