my friend and i were there 2 nights before, and Cleese had to get some of the lines from the audience...but two of the biggest cheers of the night were when he 'wished to register a complaint,' and mentioning about how the parrot had 'expired and gone to meet dr Chapman'
Apparently the Daily Mail gave an unfavorable review to Python's performance after one of their first shows at the 02. Which is why Cleese singled him out in the brief pause.
There was another section after that that they cut on the DVD, yet kept for the CD, where Palin says ‘This won’t get us any good reviews’ and Cleese replies back ‘What do you mean, we’ve already had two bad ones’.
I'm not British so I might just be talking out of my ass, but the last place I'd ever go to for information on anything is the alleged newspaper known as the Daily Mail.
Palin: Ah, yes, the Norwegian Blue. What's wrong with it? Cleese: I'll tell you what's wrong with it. It's a fictitious species. There's no such thing as the Norwegian Blue! Palin: Then what's that in the cage? Cleese: It's a stage prop stuffed with cotton!
The language was called after (Monty) Python. Ever wondered why so many python examples refer to spam and eggs while other languages use foo and bar? Van Rossum (founder of the language) was (is) a great Monty Python fan...
You got here because Dutch TV was showing Monty Python's Flying Circus reruns while our man Guido was inventing a nice new language in Amsterdam during Christmas vacation 1989-1990.
I love when Cabaret artists laugh during sketches because they forgot lines or made some mistake✌️ That's absolutely better than all sketch😎 Btw. Rest In Peace dr. Chapman✌️🕊️👍
You clearly see that palin lost it, when john held the parrot right under his nose for so long. It was perfectly a second too long, which threw him off.👍
As a person, who worked at cinema in Czechia in 2014 and was responsible for correct timing of czech subtitles for the live show, I can confirm, that some lines (and their laughter) WEREN´T in the script. :-D You cannot imagine the panic, when you have full theater which is waiting for translation and actors go totally off the script and you just HOPE they will restore the order soon... :-D :-D
Shame they missed out the punchline of the cheese sketch. ‘How come you call this a cheese shop’ ‘well its so clean’ ‘ its certainly uncontaminated by cheese’.
I took a pair of defective shoes back recently to an up-market shop. 'Look,' I said, 'See where the heel edging is not sealed. It's going to rub.' So they gave the offending shoe a glance, and said they couldn't see it. So I stuck my finger under the flap, and they still said it was all right. When I stood my ground, they tried to sell me a different pair of replacement shoes, which I did not want. Then they advised a ridiculously expensive pair of heel grips, to cover the fault. I refused, left, and considered setting fire to the shop. After some desperate experiments with glue, in the end I threw the expensive shoes away. Plus ca change...!
"600 people rushed to give me my next line, after which I thought: Well, what's the fucking point if you all know it already?" Paraphrased from an interview with Seth Meyers.
Interesting that they changed the "nonsense cheese" (except for that one, those are all very real cheeses). Ironically, nowadays there very well may be such a thing as Japanese Sage Derby (Japan's cheese industry is now fairly extensive, if there is a market for Sage Derby there, someone might actually make it.)
After watching the Secret Policeman’s Ball version of the Parrot Sketch which is utterly hilarious, I can’t help but feel they’re just going through the motions here. Some things are better left in the past.

This is just a war between Palin and Cleese to see who breaks first.
Totally. Though their 'The Secret Policeman's Ball's' performance _might_ have encapsulated it better?

A perfect try not to laugh challenge.
I was at this performance, and man, the ripple through the audience when he said about Doctor Chapman and they did the thumbs up, was electric
Yes, was there too (another day), remembering the show and that very special moment always makes me smile :)

3:38 in case anyone wanted to jump there.
Was there as well, day before my birthday! Bought the silly walks t shirt and hanky hat. A fantastic and unforgettable evening.
"I wish to register a complaint"
What a legendary line, everyone knows what's coming. Nothing beats Python
I love how they laughed so hard they forgot their lines
All carefully scripted to appear "spontaneous", I suspect...
During the cheese shop part Cleese, missed a perfect opportunity to ask for “Norwegian Blue”.
Or Bleu
Or beaver 🦫 cheese 🧀
It is amazing how they screwed it up and still finished it like bosses :D
@@jessfucket who needs a backspace key when you have a lawgiver?
The show must go on.
They just finished this massive Spamalot musical number, and John comes in with “I WISH TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT.” Instant pop from the crowd.
40 years later, the parrot is still dead and the war between the customer and the man who wanted to be a lumberjack continues
It's not dead, it's resting..all shagged out.
It's stone dead if it wasn't nailed to that perch it would be pushing up daisies
It's bleeding demised.
@@reenarawat5537 It's a stiff ! ☹

graham watching from heaven: im so proud of my monty python

Guess what. The Joke, is on you. All the Pythons, dead and living, are Atheist.
Yes. From Gay Atheist Heaven 😂
Making reference to graham gave me all the feels
“You should know that, you run a pet shop!”
I love the Dr Chapman line
that was a nice touch
👍
It's only right that the dead parrot went to meet its creator, Dr Chapman.

Looks like Michael expected the 'parrot bashing' to go on longer....love how they cracked each other up by delivering deadpan lines.
michael palin is a gem.
Where were we. Now you say " that what i call a dead parrot ". He he he.
Now that’s what I call a dead parrot!
the transplant line put me on the deck for quite a while...
Gulp. Dr. Chapman.
If you haven't read about Cleese's eulogy for Graham C, it's worth reading. Can't imagine how damned funny it was when it happened.
Palin: Ah, yes, the Norwegian Blue. What's wrong with it?
Cleese: I'll tell you what's wrong with it. It's a fictitious species. There's no such thing as the Norwegian Blue!
Palin: Then what's that in the cage?
Cleese: It's a stage prop stuffed with cotton!
I would love to see them perform it that way.
I don't understand how learning python brought me here, but I like it!

As John Cleese goes on with the list of cheese, I feel hungry though I don't particularly like cheese.
My favourite sketch from monty python he deceased he is no more this a late parrot
I heard this sketch a million times and it's funnier every time I watch it
Twitter's X blue bird brought me here. Oh my god. So funny. 😂
4 people would rather have cheese.
Неповторимый стиль Монти Пайтон ;) Они знают друг друга всю жизнь, и продолжают шутить.
Agreed Danil Dan
I wonder how many in the audience could have given them the line
literally fuckin anybody

4:46 is there an uncut version of this. They struggle a bit there also.
Yes, Michael remarks "This won't get us good reviews." Cleese responds "What are you talking about? We've already had two bad ones!"
Muito bom amigo adorei hahahaha
Does anybody have this this on DVD or Blu-ray?
OK--I've been laughing at this skit for decades. So--what does "pining for the fiords" mean?
Being nostalgic for Norway
Still funny😂
"The thing is...people want to see the old stuff, no matter how fucking bored we are with it."

Where´s the lumberjack, is he O.K.?
I wanna be a system analist
Cool
Wouldn't you much rather be a lumberjack?
Who is Dr Chapman?
Graham Chapman an exmember of monty python who has passed on.. gone to meet his maker. Curled up his tootsies (toes). He is an ex python.
The cowriter of the original version of the skit was Graham Chapman, who was the first member of the troupe to pass away.
Mee to bro, me too...
They must be tired showing this sketch for 50years and John clearly hate it.XD

It's the same end as they used for the sketch on the LP (after Cleese rejects the slug for not being able to talk); it's traditional.
