You're No Fun Anymore
Recorded 10-10-69, Aired 30-11-69
I'm slowly uploading the entire Flying Circus series... Got any requests? - Komedie
" He didn't show any inclination to be a scotsman before this did he? No no he was not that kind of person". Hilarious.
The baby in the pram with it's little fist in the air cracks me up.
nlg was looking for him when the scotsmen troop was crossing the border
The very heart of all Human civilization: New Pudsey.
SEEMS LEGIT.
The "McClosed" sign gets me every time.
McWoolworth's lol
McDonalds.@@briantaulbee6452
I think Graham’s girlfriend absolutely steals the scene with her goofy expressions perfectly lampooning actresses in 1950s sci fi movies. And this is even given Graham’s typical genius acting.
She’s lovely 👍
Yes - Mara Corday's 'shock take' in 'The Giant Claw' when she sees the camera footage of the monster is a camp joy to see; exactly what they were spoofing here.
@@cavewaller Donna Marlow/Marlowe/Reading (credited as Donna Reading for this). She was indeed a lovely girl and you may be pleased to know she got her kit off.
When she fusses about trying to show off her legs before answering Charles, but needs him to help her up... lol
Dam so that's how the S.D.P recruit, Devius buggers.
Michael Palin's got one of those faces that makes me laugh without him even saying a word.
The nervous, twitchy grin sells it every time. If he hadn't been a comic, he'd have been a second-hand car salesman.
Ya gotta love the scantily-clad bimbo who takes any and all tension out of the laboratory scene!
Palin does sleaze to perfection.
“Mummy’s been turned into a Scotsman!” “How horrible!” The look on Grahams face when he says that always makes me laugh.
' Wait a minute '
' A whole minute ? '
' No, I meant that metaphorically '
I'm scottish and i love all thse jokes about the Scots :P
The McKamikazes was the best.
I love when he gets the bus and drives it to his bus stop.
I love that moment, when the chill goes up the back of one's neck, and one knows ...just knows ...that all this is based on true events. I knew it was odd that Scotsmen just happen to be in the reality, but nobody ever talk about or deals with it.
06:36- That camera angle is a definite homage to sci-fi movies, somehow it contributes to the feeling of isolation and unease.
I love how the footballer is acting like it's an ordinary game xD
Imagine being an extra in an MP sketch, watching it with your grandkids, and yelling "That's me!" lol
I love the way the scottsman walk
This is especially funny if you've seen old episodes of Doctor Who from the 70s
Actually, this was made before Pertwee's era of Who even began.
And there's something familiar about the blonde bombshell!
This sketch is the first thing I remember ever seeing on TV. I was about 5 years old. This is etched in my mind as my first TV memory.
Fantastic camera joke -- the zoom out from the lover's close-up to reveal the lab. Really nice. I love visual jokes like that.
Yes, that's called good directing
are u alive ?
Possibly poking fun at scifi. Aliens turning people into something, a doctor working to cure it, and a pretty assistant to the doctor, who poses a lot. Just over emphasized for the purpose of the sketch. But I'm probably overthinking this. It's Monty python humor, after all.
Ross Bloom you’re not overthinking it, you’re underestimating Monty Python!
Dude, it’s meant to be ridiculously silly. Chill. 😊
"Harold Potter, gardener and tax official?" Does that mean we saw Ginny Weasley being interviewed by that detective? And why was the spectator in that football match wearing Gryffindor colors? And a Welshman named Llewellyn is transformed into a Scot?
The opening music with the monologue at the start is the same music that was used during the "LIBRARIAN" sketch on Hilarious House Of Frightenstein. I remember it well.
The greatest cities of mankind's long civilized legacy: Babylon. Alexandria. Rome. And, most spectacular of them all, New Pudsey.
amaizing.... such a girl in a comedy scetch results in extra laugh, while most movie stars (and singers, for that matter) are exactly the same kind... >__
This is sooo hilariously random. haha
Wonderfully daft. I can faintly remember watching it first time around.
It deserves a $200m Hollywood budget.
... and it would be better than 90% of the junk they make now.
I don't think I have ever laughed as hard at anything in my life as I did when I saw this sketch for the first time in 1993. Still my favorite piece of work they ever did.
It's my second favorite, The best is the sheep trying to fly.
This was also my favourite, international hide and seek came a close second😂😂
Totally lame
hello are u alive?
One of their best and funniest sketches.
Angus Podgorney, how are you going to get 48 million kilts into the van? Eh, I'll have to make it in two gos. 😂
Her name is Donna Reading she only appears in this episode.

A classic episode with
A pet-shop customer returns his dead parrot; a gang of female senior citizens attacks a town's young men; a young army officer who joined the service to water-ski tries to resign.
All from the first season. Maybe they liked Carol better or Donna went to off to make movies.
One of my best friends is a Scots-Irish German; What should I do to prevent him from running around in a kilt while playing a bagpipe, covered in whiskey and playing _Das Deutschlandlied_?
Tell him … the joke.
Sure did love the Flying Circus in the 70's here in the US. Then the Holy Grail movie! Hello from sunny and warm St. Petersburg, Fl. Wish London wasn't so damn cold!!!
oh yeah that hits the spot I didn't watch it for loooonnnngggg time...
First line of harry potter: "Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense."
Coincidence, I think not. Maybe it was in her sub conscious though. Im not accusing her of blatantly copying
And then there is a Harold Potter in the sketch! I think she liked that sketch.
"You're a Scotsman, Harry!"
Not that I’m a fan of JKR at all but it’s perfectly possible to pay tribute like this in a humorous way without it being considered a copyright breach. Writers do it quite often.
It is just a ... Hum. Yes. Homage.
Like the hobbits being rabbits like Peter rabbit.😅
@@aurelienyonrac Now hobbits and rabbits have really nothing in common. Sure their name may be similar, but rabbits live in burrows in the ground while hobbits ... oh.
Also, since I saw so many requests for this in the comments, I do believe that the song played on the bagpipes is "Scotland The Brave"
"Let's Have a Ceilidh"
It's "liberton pipe band" also known as "liberton polka"
absolument génial, vous avez un beau brexit !
Surely, Charles. You're the chief scientist at the Anthropological Research Institute at Buckydam, an expert in what makes people change from one nationality to another.

SO I AM!
Cleese was genius for raging but Palin was unbeatable at doing the Sketchy slightly overexcited schemer
Ok so no one's gonna talk about how they very literally described the Dursleys? And that dude's name is Harold Potter??? J.K. Rowling must have been a Monty Python fan 😂
What about the comment under the comment below yours, posted 13 years ago?
-John Cleese in the first HP movie
-'Cockroach Cluster' from 'Crunchy Frog' sketch in Weasley's Wizard Wheezes
Ya think?
The description of the couple at the beginning was like Tolkein introducing Bilbo and Rowling introducing the Dursleys.
"Look I'll show you." Zoom into words on TV. "I see"
Now I know where Douglas Adams got his inspiration with The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy ;) at least part of it... this is truly hilarious
The 3 overcrowded Scotsmen per caber really got me, on PBS 1970 USof A! Didn't know WTF a Blancmange was, and still don't, and the Scottish stuff except for red hair via Vikings, was unknown but for Sean Connery/007. After BRAVEHEART and IRA it became a little more clear. John C officiously questioning 5 person doubles is priceless!
(scottish accent) Was about to write "This would never happen to me!" but now,
ALL HAIL SCOTLAND!
Any one notice the Harold Potter? Known maybe as Harry?
There were a lot of harry potters in fiction, it turns out. hilarious in hindsight
It's also funny that this sketch is filmed all over Bradford, the home of Bradford City AFC, who are the only English football club to wear Claret and Amber colours, the same colours as Harry Potter's Gryffindor house, had a player in the early 1900's called Harry Potter, and the original pre modern Valley Parade stadium (the ground they play at) is
seen at 7:23 in this video.
That was the very first MP FC I ever saw. I was hooked from there. And my mother wondered why I turned out this way :)
Shocked, because I've never had the pleasure of seeing this before.
Have to say baby fist in crib was a delight. Please do carry on. Full stop.//
Origin of the "Unexploded Scotsman" perhaps?
Brainsample: Best. Surname. Ever.
Havent seen this, thx for uploading!
Monty Python/Science fiction? Brilliant!
Graham and Eric always crack me up at 1.27 haha!
This was the first mention of Harry Potter in media
The bus joke was filmed on India Way, White City, Shepherd's Bush, quite near BBC Television Centre. Someone in twelve thousand years might find that trivia interesting
Funny, 1969 and they describe the size of the universe/galaxy/space, in a comic fashion, better than the main stream media of their day.
Blancmanges from outer space! Run! Run for your lives!
Grew up ion Monty Python, thanks! Keeps me (in)sane.
It's so stupid I freakin love it
There are worse fates then becoming a Scotsman.
Becoming an Irish is worse.
This is hysterical. Gone to Scotland, McClosed 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I don't remember this!!! Glad I don't. 🙏🏽😊👍🏻👇🏼👇🏼👆🏽👆🏽👍🏻👍🏻👋🏾👏🏽👏🏽
5:32 - and that's how Lemmings started
What can you say another awesome !! sketch from the pythons
No control over their own destiny. Now we know Englands little game. Sassenachs!
I love seeing the Scotsmen marching in fast motion. 5:21
our cat was called Pudsey from t yard next t station
I've been looking for this sketch!
"What? Mr. Llewellyn?" lost it right here.
also there to be the fool to make the scientist guy seem like he knows what hes talking about
Funny how time goes. I've been trying to drop hints to this sketch the whole week. But nobody reacts.
Nooooo further questions 🤣🤣🤣
The introduction alone at 1:13 (till 1: 31 especially)😂
5:19
Epic 'ooh'!
Good onya Chadner, yr a saint!! Keep it going ma pango.
At around the 7 minute mark there's a guy watching a soccer match with red and gold scarf, the colours for griffindor.
I 2nd the request about the outclenched fists on the recently scotified people. What's the reference to?
my favorite one! :D
Oh sure I'd go with the blonde lassie...
But I'd still be thinking about Carol Cleveland...
3:57
Good acting, Graham... ; P
Thanks Gabbahead.
In retrospect some of that should have been obvious SOLar system, SOLar calender, SOLar panels etc.
@Zerojimm That would explain a lot. Thanks.
Does anyone know what the organ/bell music piece is under Cleese's Carl Sagan type intro (0:23 - 1:03) when they show space? I've been trying to find that spooky track (and the one before the first Scotsman appears). It was also used as the Librarian's theme on Canadian show Hilarious House of Frightenstein.
Count Floyd pointedly eschewed organ bell stuff in SCTV's really, truly scary Monster Chiller Horror Theatre...as did colleague Dr. Tongue, he of 3D House of Stewardesses fame.
Aliens turned a train into a flying Scotchman.
@phantomofhepiano 7:13 "go gryffindor!!!"
I can't be the only one who got the Lemmings vibe from this...
'He didn't have an inadequate brain capacity' ? Oh Dear!!!
yes, yes the one when terry jones talks to the cat, the lizard, and the duck.. it's after the smuggler sketch. fifth epizode
LOLz! John Cleese trying to sound like Carl Sagan.
The aliens were improving these poor Englishmen by making them Scots. 😂
i love the billion billion galaxies intro lol
Rick Dagless worst nightmare!
@suprememasterj2 You guys are the world's jokers and we thank you for it. Without Britain or the English we wouldn't have Monty Python.
When she says "Please help me!!" I fall apart!!!!
Dear Lord! The Horror!
A Scot has won Wimbledon! Congratulations to Andy Murray!
what's the name of the blonde babe? anyone knows? seems like she gets little attention but she really nailed the part LOL
Donna Reading
Why is this so funny? oh that's right, my sense of humour does not get over (spoilers) aliens turning everyone into scotsmen to win wimbledon...
It sure took some acting skills to play the scientist in this sketch!
Single digits or early double digits was probably too early to watch this.
I remember being scared. Scared by the Flying Circus. And the sloshing noises.
something to send the creepy crawlies up your spine...
