"The Galaxy Song" would have been better. "So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure, How amazingly unlikely is your birth; And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space, 'Cause there's bugger-all down here on Earth!"
How eerily prophetic is this! Not many of the song’s lyrics would need to be changed. But, I can see how if this were from today, everyone would be 6 feet apart and maybe just elbow bumping...
I have sung Always look on the bright side of life, thanks to As Good As It Gets, sing it weekly, sometimes daily. Always gives me a smile. Thank you Eric Idle. Id love to buy you a drink sometime.
Wow thanks Eric, you've made me believe that life is great and indeed it is, because yesterday we received a phone call from the vets saying that our cat was found alive and well and we got told from an expert that she was sick and had to be put down, but she is now happily home with nothing wrong with her what's so ever, miracles do happen
Emily's got talent I’m very happy to hear it!!! From one stranger to another but one animal lover to another I’m glad your four legged baby is safe and warm!!!
Animals aren't thinking about the great beyond. The future is a dream. In the present there is sunny window to curl up next to. A catnip mouse that..you can not resist it..the dinner bowl that just keeps getting filled anytime you want it..that's the real reason to look on the bright side because you make your present every second and you have the power always to do this. We can see that at some point in the time of others that they were no longer animate but in our own body and time we can only be alive. So be alive like your cat always look on the bright side of life! oh and watch some Pythons "The meaning of life"and"Life of Brian"..good way to wait out the Pandemic!!
Yes, this is it! Just always look on the bright side of life!😁 That was brilliant. Hilarious, creative and with a message behind it (like it always is), Eric Idle and James Corden together, singing... That was all I needed right now😊😁👍
I'm glad they saved this somewhat at the end. "Always Look on The Bright Side of Life" is a song ABOUT how crappy the world is. It's not a song about naive optimism, it's a song about deciding to be optimistic because things may not really matter in the end when you're gone. Doing a sketch about how things are so depressing you can't even think that anymore doesn't make much sense - after all, the people singing it in the movie ARE about to die. That's still kind of what this sketch is about, but at least they bring back the normal version at the end.
I have come back to this many times. With the 2020 election soon and the current state of this country. I am now reflecting on my life. It wasn't all that terrible, except those 12 years being homeless. I have my regrets, was proud of myself a couple times, and moments of being selfless. Maybe being homeless all those years will help me survive an extra day or two when it all completely goes belly up.
This was a couple years ago when I heard "Cheer up things could be a lot worse" So I DID! I cheered right up and sure enough things got worse ....WAY worse.....dang it
It's not the same when the entire audience is not crucified
"But *I* don't *want* to be *crucified*!"
@@TimothyOnline we'll sort that out later
D'accord! LOL
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
But they are by just watching James Corden lol
James and Eric: ♪♬ We're probably all going to die ♫♬
Crowd: "WHOOOOOHOO!"
Eric = shame, James = who could care less

This explains that
this isn't just a comment,
It's a full on mood
"always look on the bright side of life" should be the British National Anthem.
Not at the moment.
No. Just no
Yes
Shakes First we need to look on the bright side of life more than anything, now.
Because they will have to sing it A LOT of times these decennia.
I love Eric's English accent while he sings this song.
"H-and, h-always look at the bright side of life!" :)
Deutsche?
eric idle's british accent is very sexy ha ha
I don’t know how but Eric Edle’s voice has never changed in over 50 years
Eric Idle is so precious, I love him to bits!
Well the TH-cam algorithm has a weird sense of humor :)
Is it humor if it's true? ;D
This didn’t get recommended to me until after Covid, and now it’s back after the Delta Variant. I can’t even imagine what will trigger the third time.
It's effective. I laughed. Oh god, that cry-laugh emoticon has never been so relevant. 5:28 props to the props dept! That was A+ Also camera guy!
"The Galaxy Song" would have been better.
"So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth;
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space,
'Cause there's bugger-all down here on Earth!"
One of the best last lines in a song.
@@thedon8337 Le true my sir.
I actually clicked for that one. The thing is the show needed a curve from happy to “Trump”. They probably considered that song also
Eric Idle = legend (and I’m honestly from Purley, squire)
Say no more, say no more! Purely!
SAY NO MORE SAY NO MORE
Who's here during the Corona Virus?.......
🙋♀️
Me
August 21, 2020 It is STILL killing thousands of Americans. The rumor is it killed trump's brother Robert.
Ah, yeah Ruth Bader-Ginsburg just died a couple days ago.
I’m here during the protests and when the entire West Coast is on fire!!!
To everyone involved in making this: it was one of the best things I'I've seen on the show
James & Eric, I LOVED seeing you two together doing that bit, GREAT JOB! LIFE OF BRIAN
I absolutely love Eric Idle. This whole skit makes me feel alot better 😂
Eric's voice alone makes me laugh. Pavlov's dog 😂
Abstract Bob Ross lllkjhmhffddsdmn
Haha somebody actually understands pavlovian conditioning correctly
@@mattoniy2840 I am college educated 😂
@@hannahv2647 haha congrats!

Eric Idle is a legend!
In 4th week of lock down and this is just what I needed to lift my spirits.
I have sung Always look on the bright side of life, thanks to As Good As It Gets, sing it weekly, sometimes daily. Always gives me a smile. Thank you Eric Idle. Id love to buy you a drink sometime.
Two great talents. This was fantastic ❤️
“We are all probably going to die” *big smile on my face*
Great job. Corden has a great ability to get fresh performances out of legacy performers.
Thank you!!!
I missed this 4 years ago but very happy to see it now 😘😘😘😘😯
Eric idles book is absolutely amazing and hilarious! Anyone wanting a great story and a bunch of wonderful laughs along the way, pick it up 😉
This was hysterical! Sometimes we all take everything way too seriously, we need a break!
This made me smile :)
Just hearing how Eric idle talks makes me laugh
Missed that voice. Eric has made a lot, of people 'laugh' he has a lots of fans
What do you mean 'laugh' he has made allot of people laugh
I absolutely love Eric Idle, and I'm totally obsessed with all things Python, but I wonder if he ever just gets fed up of this song!
This warms my heart💓. I adore Eric Idle. Ty!!!
A year and a half later... if only they'd known.
2020, N-covid19 coronavirus breaks out. This comes in my recommendation list...
Got to love it
So, anyone else only got it recommended now during the corona quarantine?!
Back when Trump was the worst problem now it's Corona
Can I be cheeky enough to say, it's both?!
@@ClassicWorld19 Nope, it's the truth 👍🏻
@@ClassicWorld19 Nah, you don't need him to fuck everything up. Just look at Sweden.
James is one of the best blokes in showbiz,u rock
I love this I was suffocating on my laughter I am probably going to die from suffocation. Omg I'm dying😹
Eric Idle will always be one of my favourite. what a god
Wow thanks Eric, you've made me believe that life is great and indeed it is, because yesterday we received a phone call from the vets saying that our cat was found alive and well and we got told from an expert that she was sick and had to be put down, but she is now happily home with nothing wrong with her what's so ever, miracles do happen

Thank you she’s happily home and looking forward to spending Christmas with my family and I

😂😂 this is actually hilarious 💙
1:55 "HEEEEEEIIIINNNNNND!"
Eric Idle, a world treasure.
i can only imagine how many times eric has had to sing that song 😂😂
Yes, this is it! Just always look on the bright side of life!😁 That was brilliant. Hilarious, creative and with a message behind it (like it always is), Eric Idle and James Corden together, singing... That was all I needed right now😊😁👍
2:41 Britan does not leave Europe... The are leaving Europien Union, Americans get your facts right. 😠😠😠😠😠
Brilliant. Made my day. Thank you. Keep up the fantastic work
I love you so much James
Lost my job today, this was the only thing that made me smile, only for a second though
I automatically think of Casper the Friendly Ghost whenever I hear Eric Idle's voice.
This is the most British thing to happen on an American talk show just about ever
When serious matters become funny, that's the time ppl should get frightened.
I agree
webster wu grow up
this feels like the anthem for 2020
My God this is timely. This is November 16, 2022.
My last two brain cells trying to handle life

The best part of the London 2012 Olympics was Eric Idle at the opening.
One year pre-COVID. They were more prescient than they knew! LOL
We should not just be like: Christmas is coming up, a time to be nice!
But : a new day is coming, a time to change!
Bravo 👏
"They won't. We're screwed."
LoL
Eric Idle of Monty Python fame. Sorry For Fangirling
Loved the Monty Python Troupe back in the day!
I used to have such a crush on him. And Michael Palin. 😊
granted. Fangirling myself.
"They don't, we're screwed."
I love it.
nice remix of bright side of life xD
Wow. Can't believe James actually sang a song with one of the Rutles!!
I love Eric!!!
Eric still sounds the same and has the same facial expressions my god I love him
James we need a new version of this song...Please!!!!
Watching this from 2020 and covid. Live on in blissful ignorance, guys.
What a brilliant rendition of Bright Side!!!
I Nearly Wet Myself Laughing Watching This 🤣🤣
James picks up his microphone and puts on his "I am so there" face. 1:28
Eric Idle is a genius. I love Monty Python!
Fuck it! I was watching this and received the freaking Presidential Alert Test while wearing headphones. Freaking heart is racing.
This is smart as fu*k! ..and by the way...We are all going too die! (ha!) ..SOoo..please, smile and laugh more!!! Cheers!!
Get off your ass and VOTE this November----make it count, whatever it takes!
This is so relevant today right now...
Release this version on Spotify 🤣
A million things could kill you? Hell I'm Australian. that isn't news, it's just Saturday.
This is the happiest saddest song I've ever heard... 🙃
Well TH-cam what a time to bring this back
Eric is my idol, even though he stays idle at times.
I am not a big Monty Python fan, but I LOVE Eric Idles Songs. Wonderful stuff.
This was seriously awesome. :)
7:04 “Eric Idle is going to die!”
Just what the doctor ordered this morning...brightened up my day after listening to whole the horrific news...
Ah. This lifted my anxiety...at least for the duration of it :D
All I can hear is the Brave Sir Robin.
He ran away....
Omg. I love you Demi. (Shoutout to GCF)
😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣 don't watch between meals. Be warned.
Only Eric Idle can rap dance in sneakers
Two years later & we all are definitely going to die.

Keep hanging in there, friend!
I agree more today than in 2018.
With corona virus now we can all sing this song
I love that Demi Adejuyigbe has written a song for Eric Idle
This was a couple years ago when I heard "Cheer up things could be a lot worse" So I DID! I cheered right up and sure enough things got worse ....WAY worse.....dang it
2020: James keep you're distance from Eric. You're going to kill him for real!
Real news
Kittens are the main reason to stay. Can't be unhappy when there's kittens.
What a blessing 💖
