My mother made salmon mousse once for a fancy dinner we were having with guests. My little brother, maybe 5 or 6 years old, called it "fish jello" and put everyone off. I can't recall that she ever made it again.
When I bought my house it came with a scythe hanging in the garage. It's got to be over 100 years old. I would refuse to get rid of it just in case it belongs to a man who's on vacation and wears a black robe and misplaced his work tools. I feel he'd be more upset if I threw it away.

That was an IDIOTIC line. MANY times several people die of the same cause. Actually when I watched the sketch and heard they all died at the same time on the table, the FIRST and ONLY thought that came to my mind was FOOD POISONING. It was really obvious.

„I‘m most dreadfully embarrassed.“ 😂 I‘ve laughed over this sentence every now and then, when it happens to cross my mind. It’s such an understatement . I just can’t! 🤣

Yes - brilliant, a superb comic actor like they all were. and look at Terry Jones done up as the drunk woman - superb. I don't recognise the guy with the bow tie though, just one of their mates I guess.
Yes - there's a great shot of the Reaper waiting on the moors before he comes to the door. A very atmospheric and chilling shot. He moves without moving, if you get me, but they didn't show that part here, it started with him just knocking on the door.
Implying their standards are usually poor? If so, then I'd have to disagree... Also, it would be a good representation of the figure of death. It's hard to do a good impression of a character that isn't real, is merely an abstract representation of 'not alive' and which has been represented in countless different forms and non-forms, through history and different cultures...
Spoiler below for anyone who hasn't watched this film, so don't click "read more" It got cut out of this clip, but at the end of this scene, when they're being led away, one of the guests says they didn't eat the salmon mousse.
Well the Meaning of Life was just a series of loosely connected sketches but it was everything the Pythons wanted to do on television but the BBC wouldn't let them, organ donations, every sperm is sacred, over-eating, sex education cranked up to the max, the list goes on....
It's part of the Monty Python humour that none of the people in this house are freaked out over a hooded figure that has skeletal hands and can glide through tables!
I don’t remember this Python bit. Good stuff. I had a dream as a kid that I remember to this day, I’m 73 now, where I emptied a .45 auto into the devil. Was in the front yard of my house in Baltimore. Crazy dreams.
But that's absolutely not disgusting haha that's very good. There are many excellent recipes. You mix fresh and smoked salmon with cream, fromage frais, a little mustard, herbs and lemon... Diced cucumber and tomato can be added before serving, along with salmon or trout roe. You can serve in shot glasses or on toast. That's delicious.
Love how the blonde 'woman' asks how they could have all died at once. The expression is like "Aha, look at me poke a hole in this 'Death' guy's story! Aren't I the clever one!"
I always judge A Christmas Carol by how well they do thr Ghost of Christmas future this would of fitted so well in that story as it does in this little masterpiece from the meaning of life film 🎥 🎞 🎉🎉🎉

The gag on the Salmon Mousse is double, you see back in the 1970s the UK had a spate of food poisonings from canned salmon, some fatal.
The subtitles spell it "moose"
@@georgehenderson7783 Trained moose, the wonderful telephone system.........
That's inside baseball, but it did make it more relevant and realistic if you knew it.
Thanks. I'd always wondered if using canned was bad or they were dead because she hadn't used canned (like steak tartar or something)
"Well, that's cast rather a gloom over the evening."
I say this every Christmas dinner when someone feels the need to bring up all the family members who've died since last Christmas.
Has to be one of the greatest comedic lines ever uttered in a movie.
Notices the scythe... "Is this about the hedges?"
“The Salmon Mousse !” One of the greatest lines in cinematic history.
Or, "Hey, I didn't even eat the mousse"
Lucky me. I hate fish.
Gets me every time.
A mousse once bit my sister.
"I fart in YOUR general direction!"💨

Is salmon mousse a uk thing? Here in the states I've never seen or even heard of it
That's downright funny! I bet she was pissed! 😂😂😂
The old British mariners suffered from lead poisoning from the soldering on the canned salmon.......
Nope it's a common snack for parties we eat that all the time, using salmon is not as frequent as tuna but it works anyway.
The idea of putting fish in a blender before eating, always seemed disgusting to me.
When I bought my house it came with a scythe hanging in the garage. It's got to be over 100 years old. I would refuse to get rid of it just in case it belongs to a man who's on vacation and wears a black robe and misplaced his work tools. I feel he'd be more upset if I threw it away.
Congratulations, you are the new death. Since its taking a vacation, you do its chores.
Or maybe the owner of the scythe tried the salmon mousse when he went to reap the past owners of the house. 😂

Also, when he asks if there is an afterlife.
He makes a very convincing woman with the way he delivers those sassy lines.

I love the improbable philosophical conversation they're having at that dinner party. 🤣
the best kind of conversation!
"Improbable"? ;) :)
That’s some dark comedy.
Splendid scene, Monty Python experimented a lot but when they´re good they´re rather excellent.
The beginning with the bell toll is one of the most important things of this skit!
It’s social death to serve canned salmon.
(eyes the potential shame cans in his cupboard nervously with compound eyes)
This is Britain. They'll eat literal garbage as long as it comes in can form.
What do you think restaurants use to make mousse? Fresh?
Michael Palin's face after he asks the profound question is the best part of this whole shit.
It is a wonderful moment! :)
It’s one of the little men from the village always cracks me up and you left out I didn’t have the salmon mousse
“It’s a Mr. Death or something. He’s come about the reaping. I don’t think we need any at the moment.” I’m as dead as that dinner party. 😂
Michael Palin always makes me laugh 😂😂
It's Christmas time in heaven
There's great films on TV
The Sound of Music twice a day
And Jaws 1,2 and 3.
Oh, no. Not Jaws 3.😬
Even the hot chix in parts 2 & 3 couldn't save the scripts, I personally kept rooting for the shark..........
I'll take Jaws 1. The others were crap, but the first is great every time I see it, and I swim in the ocean twice daily.
It's pretty much the point of the line, that they're not great films. "Heaven" is portrayed as pretty naff, kitsch and low-brow. :)

Very Toronto.

Underrated movie; people always say how it's the worst Monty Python movie--just shows how great the other movies really are.
I'd say it was the second best, by a narrow margin.

I like this Grim Reaper. He seems like a good working man, knows his stuff.

They make him wait because they insist on driving their cars to heaven too.
And then show ghosts of the cars pull away, leaving the cars' "bodies" behind!
"A potentially positive learning experience", priceless! This scene, IMHO, is brilliant on so many levels. The funniest movie scene ever!💀
it sure was. They did learn the cause of their death, while many of us will never know.
Quite naturally Death speaks with a croak.
"Let's take the cars"
Terry Gilliam is American and still sounds like he's faking his accent.
When I die, I expect to be greeted by topless angels
Unless, Monty Python has lied to me
THEY DID THE BEST DRAG ....THE PLIAD JACKET IS THE CREATIVE GENIUS
Loved that movie. "Every sperm is sacred..." "I gave this long and careful thought and it's medical experiments for the lot of you..."
Anytime I play an olnine game involving combat, I always name myself salmon mousse.
Instant respect.
Castlevania Death and this Death have a bit in common 🤣
