Brilliant! Life has no meaning. It’s just what it is and it’s forever and ever indestructible beautiful mystery full of Joy if you like that sort of thing!
When I was very small, my parents used to watch Flying Circus--even though I didn't understand the skits with "the guys that talk funny and dress like girls" I loved the animated bits. They are still my favorite part of the show--and I loooove this one. Genius stuff.
Every fall, leaves will fall off and die, then new leaves will grow and take the other leaves places and then die and so on! That is truely...the circle of life!
This is what's glorious about this film. They're making fun of death without minimizing it. They accept how tragic the reality of life's imminent end is, and they still, (bravely, I would say) choose to laugh about it.
lol, when I first saw this (waaaay to small to understand anything, no mind english or the written word) I always loved when all the leafs fell down XD
yea this is very sad and somehow is closer to revealing the mystery of the meaning of life than the actual ending. Still its funny and makes us see things from diffrent perspective (i'm waiting till someone calls them emo leaves, that would be pretensious enough to be totally youtube'ish)
Picture this...1975, my brother and I come home at around 1am from being downtown all night, blasted on Purple micro dot acid, flip on the TV and Flying Circus was on, absolutely mental and a total train wreck on acid...dose was great days mon...
For a fabulous good humoured look at the meaning of life try, 'The reason driven life' by top author Robert M. Price. His thoughts are like gold dust and weigh in ingots in this book. Also try authors John W. Loftus, Dan Barker, Valerie Tarico, Victor L. Stenger on youtube
Nothing can replace the first time you watch this and you realize it's the leaf talking... after it "jumps".
Yes Terry Gilliam’s Animations can be from funny to very funny up to morbidly funny! 😄
One of my favourite sketches of all time. The first time I saw it at the cinema I laughed so loud when all the leaves fell off at the same time.
LOL
Terry Jones does the best scream when the first leaf falls. It never ceases to crack me up
C'mon man, the video title gives away one of the best gags in Python history.
The first time I saw this, I went out and provided voices for the leaves as they fell off the tree. People were looking at me like I was crazy. HAHA!
I CAN'T LEAF WITHOUT YOU!
this has got to be one of my favorite scenes from the film!! god bless you for posting it!! hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i absolutely love this scene so much... almost my favourite one out of the movie. thanks for uploading! :D
No matter how many times I see this I laugh so hard!! Jeez it never gets old
Every leaf is sacred, every leaf is good.
If a leaf is wasted God gets quite irate.
So does this mean that Cherry Blossom leaves commit Seppuku?
This is morbidly hilarious!
Brilliant! Life has no meaning. It’s just what it is and it’s forever and ever indestructible beautiful mystery full of Joy if you like that sort of thing!
I remember this scene as a kid, this is the highest form of nostalgia.
Now that it's autumn I can't watch leaves fall without thinking of this scene 😂
The part with the tree in it is the best.
So the whole video then...
Autumn is here!
When I first saw this part in the movie, I had no idea what was talking and I was so surprised when it was the leaf... ;)
The funniest sketch ever. I laugh every time I watch it.
When I was very small, my parents used to watch Flying Circus--even though I didn't understand the skits with "the guys that talk funny and dress like girls" I loved the animated bits. They are still my favorite part of the show--and I loooove this one. Genius stuff.
My sister and I killed ourselves laughing at this!
This scene nearly made me spit my cornflakes all over my screen. AND I EVEN SAW IT COMING!!
Bless those geniuses.
Depression in Autumn!
+Fernando Ramos And then spring gave summer an amiss.
So silly and after all these years and still I find it a chuckle
lmao...monty python is the best, thank you for putting this vid up :P...mummy!!?
genious! great movie, great skits!
The first scream is absolutely hilarious. XD
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhh **blosh**"
I forgot how funny that was!!!
Monty Python at it's best. Genius
Jesus! Kill counters are gonna have a field day with this one
Every fall, leaves will fall off and die, then new leaves will grow and take the other leaves places and then die and so on!
That is truely...the circle of life!
It's so funny when you hear this deafening scream of terror and anguish and then one leaf drops off very, very slowly and floats gently to the ground.
Even my Kids Love this!! Encore Encore!!
To explain how my mind works, this!!!!😂
Haha, I was talking to my mum about this bit just yesterday and couldn't stop laughing, and it's even better when you watch it (obviously)...WHUMP!
I usually dont like monty python but this was genius. Funny stuff.
it is hard to belive that every fall we play with thier dead bodies
Seasonal Affective Disorder FTW
@Avirosb it is to be said whenever you catch someone making chit up.
Yea, I love that short scene in the film :D Genious idea.
first time i watched this when all the leaves fall at once i was fucking giggling so hard i am like rewind that again man that was fucking hilarious
The reaper at the end was more sinister, than depressing-it really creeped me the hell out.
Pure nightmare fuel!!
This is what's glorious about this film. They're making fun of death without minimizing it. They accept how tragic the reality of life's imminent end is, and they still, (bravely, I would say) choose to laugh about it.
THis is a fantastic way to show why the economic got screwed so hard.
I wouldn't want to be standing under that tree in the fall.
0:50
You might as well all come down now!
It's called Seasonal Affective Disorder. Even trees get it.
omg i laughed so hard! i really did not think i would laugh as hard as i did. genius!
Never gets old 😉
A CLASSIC, FOR EVER!
@VividCrucified They're leaves. little leaves. they don't feel
I love the leaves ^^
it's so great made ^^
There's actually a chapter like this in Bambi - the original novel, not the Disney film.
lol, when I first saw this (waaaay to small to understand anything, no mind english or the written word) I always loved when all the leafs fell down XD
yay! I've been wanting someone to download that!
"My God this is terrible! Will somebody please stop it?!"
yea this is very sad and somehow is closer to revealing the mystery of the meaning of life than the actual ending. Still its funny and makes us see things from diffrent perspective
(i'm waiting till someone calls them emo leaves, that would be pretensious enough to be totally youtube'ish)
somehow i get the feeling that got this idea from Dante's Inferno!! How nice =D
Picture this...1975, my brother and I come home at around 1am from being downtown all night, blasted on Purple micro dot acid, flip on the TV and Flying Circus was on, absolutely mental and a total train wreck on acid...dose was great days mon...
The balloons: FINALLY WE CAN DIE!!
it was really really really really sad till all the leaves fell at once lol
The grim reaper at the end is a bit of a downer, but Christ is it funny prior to that.
so that's how the leaves fall off in autumn... I'd always wondered
ill never look at fall the same way again.
mummy? daddy? ahhhh! best part. wtf? this is an interesting video....
First leaf scream is second to Goofy's.
OMFG.
This absolutely kills me!
I love it so much!!
HAHA.
OMFG! I LOVE THIS PART!!!!!!
This is the funniest thing ever.
BAHAH MY DAD JUST SHOWED THIS TO ME-
And now for something somewhat different
Happy Fall!
this is funny because leaves fall off trees all the time so lol
so this is why leaves fall off trees in autumn =]
15 seconds sounds like goofy screaming
hmmmm, so that's why leaves fall off trees....
And now something completely different...
Who voices the leaf son? Michael Palin?
dannycalypse Yes
crazy guys with crazy ideas :)
@hiimgod801 GI JOOOEEE!!!! This video makes me sad, but your comment makes me happy.
