"I want to be....a systems analyst." Brilliant left turn there that caught us all off guard (in the best possible way). Nice to see the original lumberjack's girlfriend too. So glad they got Carol Cleveland to participate in this celebration and I have to say she looks as beautiful as ever.
"She looks as beautiful as ever!" Are you absolutely sure about that? I honestly thought it was a man in drag. (Which actually would've been quite apt, given the lyrics)
They did several shows, five I think, and _some_ of them did not do the "Systems Analyst" bit. I guess they were trying different variations OR Michael decided to improvise (and I'm glad he did because I howled with laughter at that).
The reason for this is because pretty much everyone familiar with their work knows how the sketch goes, so they sometimes change things up to throw off the audience and keep the show interesting. The Dead Parrot sketch had a similar change in an earlier live performance in the 1980s: After Mr. Praline registers his complaint about his parrot, the shopkeeper takes a long long at the bird in the cage…and concedes that, yes, it is indeed dead, before giving his disgruntled customer a refund and some travel vouchers.
Brilliant sketch! I only wish Michael had the thin mustache, wet hair parted exactly down the middle and the bowler hat like he did in the original sketch!
It's just not the same with the surviving badly aged Pythons ... though for this sketch, with the "I've been a chartered account for 20 years" line, it kinda works ... but then "I have a 45 year old chartered accountant here" rather badly dates it.

Dear uploader, I wish to complain in the strongest possible terms about the CZcams video about the lumberjack who wears women's clothes. Many of my best friends are lumberjacks, and only a few of them are transvestites!
Yeah, I was probably in my preteen when I originally saw the 'Live At The Hollywood Bowl' version my _late_ mother showed me a gigantic load of years back... I'm 38 now. 😮💨 We're as old as we feel. My mother had quit going to dialysis for her badly aged organs due to a tiny hole in her heart. 🙄The important thing is to be a good person to people, enjoy the time you have with them and give time to those who matter. ☺ Mom had horrible mental issues, for almost all of her life. 😞
The moment the crowd knew what song was coming, is priceless.

I'm glad Carol Cleveland was bought into the lumberjack sketch keeping it as authentic as possible
I was thinking the exact same thing before I scrolled down to the comments
except that it was Connie Booth in the original sketch
@@sockington1 oh blimey yes you are right... Well at least she was the most seen python Girl Carol I mean but yes Connie in thst sketch my bad
Whenever Michael says in a sketch:"I never wanted to be a (fill in the blank)", we all know we're gonna get the Lumberjack Song.
The lion tamer. The cheese store. The argument. The dead parrot. The best sketches always have both Michael Palin and John Cleese.
My favorite moment from "something completely different" is when Michael began singing and John said "What about my bloody parrot?!"😂

Actually, it was Connie Booth. Johns x wife who was the original girl in the Flying Sircus sjetch.
That's a big career jump Accountancy to Systems Analyst. 50 Dollars Canadian says he crashes and burns about 15 years in that profession.
"She looks as beautiful as ever!"
Are you absolutely sure about that? I honestly thought it was a man in drag. (Which actually would've been quite apt, given the lyrics)
@@hutch5799 Well, considering she's 137 years old I gave her the benefit of the doubt.
@@sveinunglidsheim5828 Yup. Connie Booth, not "Carol Cleavage", as they would refer to her amongst themselves.
As a child, it was the first exposure I had to Canadian culture.
Everything was built of wood up there, even my solitary confinement cell.
For last xmas my wife gave a baseball cap with Lion Tamer embroided across the front! Best present ever!
Kevin dont forget that you can claim reasonable wear and on on it.
You do accounting?
I am so very jealous. Really.
4:45 everyone was ready but the sketch took a sudden turn. Michael Palin amazing with Cleese as always.
I remember watching this on Netflix and fell on the floor laughing when that happened.
This skit never gets old.
What I loved about this was Palin's timing and Cleese's confidence. They were
Perfect finale.
Cleese and Palin classic the mounties are priceless

@@Daniel_HuffmanHa! I love that! I'll bet the audience loved the change too.
Tears coming down my eyes during the lumberjack song. Saw Live at Hollywood Bowl first time in HS. Wish I could have seen this live.
I'd give my eye teeth to have been in the chorus for that skit!
R. I. P Terry Jones
Always one of my fav sketches
The quality of their comedy will never be surpassed.
May british humor never fade.
*humour
Your memory of your real name has faded.
" claim reasonable wear and tear". Thats what i love about these guys. That line killed me!
I wish i was a girly just like my dear papa .
Priceless
And, of course, Carol Cleveland, the seventh member of the Pythons!
Their skits never get old. They’ve aged gracefully.
I love Carol's reaction to when he says "I put on women clothing and hang around in bars!"
Absolutely perfect. 🐯🌲🇨🇦
Brilliant sketch! I only wish Michael had the thin mustache, wet hair parted exactly down the middle and the bowler hat like he did in the original sketch!
Taming anteaters would probably be about as dangerous as taming lions.
I tame Sloths. Once a month. Usually. They can be. Quite edgy. Sometimes. Did I say I train Sloths? Each of them.
@@ommadammo Do you have a hat!?
I love when Python is loved
Carol Cleveland, the 7th Python.
It's simply beautiful
Is the Royal Society for Putting Things on top of Other Things still meeting on Tuesdays?
This is awesome funny as ever
Haha Bertram Mills. It was Mr Chipperfield in the original sketch
.
7:03 pink floyd vibes
Eric Idle did this best, at the Hollywood Bowl shows.
Love monty Python
Love this

What about my bloody parrot?😅
It's pining for the fjords
laughed when the first moment of clappping... im sick
Im Canadian and have never met a transvestite limberjack.They must ne in the interior of BC.
Top drawer😂😂😂😂
I am wonder why banking or insurance is a more natural transition to l ion taming than being an accountant.
The lumberjack song always brings me such patriotic pride as a trans woman from British Columbia.
How many trees have you cut down so far?
@@nahuelmat Depends on what you'd count as a tree, but typically I'm more of a tree planter than a tree murderer. Deforestation and climate change is gonna be our demise.
Yeah I know, I was just making a joke about the song
@@nahuelmat I know, and I was being a Debbie Downer.
You're a man and always will be
Dom var så otroligt före sin tid....
No, they were OF their time. When Comedy was comedy.
The hat doesn't say LION TAMER. It reads TAME NUTTER.
The first question is not going to be does he have a hat
When was this?
2014
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nobody:
Cleese: "enough of this gay banter" 🤨😒🙄
Graham Chapman's ghost: *I beg your pardon?!*
This Soooo Unwoke.
I myself am bisexual, I thoroughly enjoy how UNwoke it is, and yet, it's not like they start killing him. They just walk away. 😁 It's fair to do that.

And you, of course, Ronald, didn't.
It happens you know
Fzca
stop all this gay banter and send Brian a hat
But Brian got crucified
D'oh!!!!!!!!! @@jakemanzi1203
Wish they hadn't done this show. It's bloody awful.
You are aware of the reason behind it, yes? There was no alternative. When the gavel falls, honest ones go to work.
You should send in a letter!!!
Oh you're no fun anymore
@@HoratioCanus a stiff letter. Written on cardboard.
