“Oh I’m sorry. This is abuse”. God that line delivery is hilarious
I’ve always loved that last hand on Cleese’s shoulder before the cutaway. All he says is “hold it”, implying a never ending line a coppers waiting to nick the one before.
Just £1 for a 5-minute argument? Times have changed! I'm paying upwards of £18.99 these days.
“Malodorous pervert” and “stupid git” are two of my favorite insults.
2:14 "I came here for a good argument", "No you didn't, you came here for an argument". Probably the best line for me, so subtle and implies that they could start an argument about the quality of the argument. 🤣
I like how he immediately employs gaslighting. That will keep an argument going for ages.
The perfect Python sketch. Cleese and Palin bouncing off each other, the satire on language, the commentary on the way arguments are structured, the layered word play, the one liners, the timing, the delivery, the premise, Chapman, Idle and Jones' bit parts. If they'd made just this one sketch, they'd be legends.
Monty Python unintentionally invented the term “spam” for “something unwanted and asked for”. This sketch is a tutorial for social media arguments, plus the rooms of abuse and complaint.
A place you can willingly subject yourself to where you can have arguments with total strangers about nothing. Kind of like the internet! Love this sketch!
The delivery oh “oh I’m sorry this is abuse” kills me 😂
"Mr. DeBakey's free, but he's a little bit conciliatory" is a wildly underrated line.
One of their best sketches, a unique piece of comedy that never fails to make me laugh.
Probably the best television comedy sketch ever done. I'm 65 and this has been in my brain for 50 years. All Python is good but this is brilliant.
The part at 2:30 when Palin says, "But it isn't just saying "No it isn't!"....." and Cleese's answer of "Yes it is!" and thus making Palin say "No it isn't" (followed by the brief look of confusion) is absolutely masterful writing!!
these guys were absolute geniuses and such fast talkers! id trip over my own tongue
John Cleese was incredible in this skit. His poker face is flawless.
The ending is brilliant, if this sketch wasn't amazing enough. Breaking the fourth wall, then regressing into an infinite loop
“I could be arguing in my spare time” 😭😭😂😂😂
Possibly the funniest skit ever recorded. I've seen it many times and it still makes me roar with laughter!
