Monty Python

[belle7171]

Well, hubby and I were watching Monty Python reruns last night and there was a sketch about grannies who attacked people and were basically deliquents in the community. They "interviewed" a couple who said their grandmother was OK until she started crocheting. They said she does it all day long and goes through quite a few balls of wool a day, and if she can't get them, she turns violent.

 

My husband was howling in laughter saying, "That's you! That's you!"

I saw that!!!! It was hilarious!!! I loved the way the grannies were roaming the neighborhoods in gangs!!!

:laughroll Hubby and I are HUGE fans of Python, and trade lines from the scripts back and forth all the time...this is one of my favorites!

I know which sketch you are talking about but I never caught that, will pay better attention next time I'm watching that one!

It's me too, LOL My boyfriend just rolls his eyes when I tell him I MUST go to Michaels NOW LOL. Or when I get yet another large box of yarn ("you have enough of that stuff! No I don't...LOL)

Hell's Grannies!!

 

OMG, that's one of my favorite sketches. I love it when they start pushing around the typical "bad guys."

 

My all time favorite has to be the Spanish Inquisition with the comfy couch, though!

I love Monty Python but this "Hell's Grannies" sketch is probably the one of the funniest sketches ever.

I so agree, but I also am quite fond of the skit in which one learns to defend themself against a agressor armed with fruit. You gotta love those guys. Ooh! ohh! I think that I just figured out my Halloween costume for this year...I:grandma'll be a Hell's Granny! yea! We all should do it and then share pictures.

Monty is fun ....spam spam spam spam, the SOFT chair (spanish inquision skit is my all time fave)

a suggestion if you haven't seen it already: Black Adder. Kind of along the same lines and great brit humor Queenie is a hoot! Off with your head!

I'd love to be in on that!

 

Yammy - The spam sketch is hilarious, too! I love seeing Graham Chapman screaming "I DON'T LIKE SPAM!!" Black Adder is really funny too! We've got them here in the library where I work on VHS.

 

Who is everyone's favorite python, btw? Michael Palin is mine, hands down. ("I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay, I sleep all night and I work all day...")
