I'd watch these sketches as a kid on t.v.,and laugh my head off! Now I'm fifty something and still laughing my head off at it!😂 we need them now more than ever,in this crazy mean world 🌎 as we are truly in times where,,if you don't laugh,you cry. Have a happy day!❤🇬🇧
"I'm on a cycling tour of North Cornwall, taking in Bude..." FYI, all the places he crashes are in Devon, not Cornwall. Just an added comedic detail that may be missed if you don't know the area.
Very true indeed ... any satire or inversion of reality or extension of the straight jacket of 'accepted behaviour' wld be completely mis-understood. Wld fall completely flat. The human mind is losing much as each decade proceeds. Strange but true...
Possibly the first show they did where most of if not all the episode was one long story, no doubt written by Palin and Jones who would do this more in series 4 once cleese left and go on to write ripping yarns together which was more this style of comedy, this could've been an episode of it if it wasn't under the python banner.
@@blakeyonthebuses they dont do this on sketch shows now, sketches are one or two gags then done, these guys turned one sketch into an entire story their imagination was so vast.

We are tomorrow leaving Switzerland on a four month cycling tour of Eastern Europe, and now I am quite fearful of gritty fruit cake and bicycle pumps. Thanks mate. Stay out of N.Z.
The down side of this episode was seeing how less the show was with very little Cleese influence. The up side is it showed them beginning to think of full length single stories (movies).
I ran into a small group of these types of Brits near Loo at bnb . It was horrible . They seem to have absolutely no interest in bathing and ,as a result , put wife and I off our full british.

For God so loved the world that he caused every living thing on it to perish in a global flood (apart from one family and a few animals). God also liked slavery, human sacrifices, forcing a rape victim to marry their rapist, stoning to death homosexuals - your God is a monster.
It's hard to explain why I found this so funny, @professorsogol5824. It's Michael Palin's expression of naieve, enthusiastic optimism when he is on the cycle. He was good at that face. It's why I loved the accountant sketch.
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 Crashing on a bike is always embarrassing and often painful, but never funny. As perhaps you know there are two kinds of cyclists: those who have crashed and those who haven't crashed yet. I assume you are in the latter group, and I hope you remain in that group for many more years.
"The pump caught in my trouser leg" plays in my head whenever I hear a crashing or clattering noise.
Brilliant episode this one.
One of the most brilliant skits they ever did. I love the constant clanging of the pots attached to his outfit.
not too brilliant :P
All Monty Pithon work is brilliant. You just have to understand the philosophy and meaning of it! Lol
@@cristinabumbac151 The show got on with it. Other shows were funny, but they included too much useless banter.

These episodic skits were always my favorites. One narrative that leads from one silly situation to another. Just the greatest.
That last bit in the car about safer food is very funny indeed.
Good job Mr Pither is really 'Bicycle Repair Man' !! Super Hero Extraordinaire !! 🚴
People that ride bicycles and/or watch Monty Python are just as good as normal people. 🚲
😂😆
No we’re not.
@@middleagedwhiteblokeno I m not normal
Nothing normal about me! And I don't ride a bicycle.
What the hall is normal anymore?
- "Just had a chat with your dad!"
- 😭!!!
😅
One of their best characters, just brilliant!
Let me show you the door. No thank you, I saw it on the way in. Hahahaha
Just amazing one of my all-time favourites.
One of my favourite Palin characters😁
One of my favorite sketches.
para mí es el mejor!
¡ No podría estar más de acuerdo contigo! 😁
"I'm on a cycling tour of North Cornwall, taking in Bude..." FYI, all the places he crashes are in Devon, not Cornwall. Just an added comedic detail that may be missed if you don't know the area.
It's fairly obvious that the character has absolutely NO sense of direction whatsoever. lol
Surely this is the inspiration for the Where's Wally/Waldo books!
First time Pythons did something with coherent narrative for whole episode. It is just as silly.
My favorite skit 😂
Ever since 1972 I loved this Charles Gounod waltz. But there is more to it then those 8 bars.
Mental. Completely mental. And nowadays we have reality TV. We are impoverished.

For a cycling tour in North Cornwall he was going to some very strange places.
Anyone getting fast show vibes ... i like to go a wandering fal da ree fal da raaaa 😅😊😊😊

Absolutely agree. Ripping Yarns were great.
@@blakeyonthebuses they dont do this on sketch shows now, sketches are one or two gags then done, these guys turned one sketch into an entire story their imagination was so vast.
They did that more in season 3. Dennis Moore is another one.
@@klmrk9961 they did it even more in season 4 cos john left so then palin and jones became the dominant writing team.
@@johnb1150 I'm a huge Python fan, but I don't think that I've even watched all of season 4. Not funny without John imo.
pure genious
Just had a chat with your Dad.
how do you know so much about cycling?
The first crash I almost shit my pants laughing.
Banana and cheese sandwich?
What do you keep your hard-boiled eggs in?
Her response:
@@chrissteed8170😐

Lovely

Still hilarious

35p for a banana and cheese sandwich in the early 70s ?
Sir Michael!
Unfortunately they didn't do many 'long' stories like this one
We are tomorrow leaving Switzerland on a four month cycling tour of Eastern Europe, and now I am quite fearful of gritty fruit cake and bicycle pumps. Thanks mate. Stay out of N.Z.
Thats me on social media 😂
I used to like this one because I was a cyclist
In shorts or did you use a small pump?
You better now?
I wonder if this character was the inspiration for 'Where's Wally'?... I think we should be told.
Is this available in the area...

Monty Python was good because it had very little filler. If it wasn't funny, they cut it. One funny bit after another, about every 5 seconds or less.
35p for sandwiches!
Ha! I shouted that same thing rewatching it again lol. I remember prices like these. Gods I’ve been around too long
What happened to the rest of it?!😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Seems to be a divisive skit. I thought it was funny.
25 p for multiple sandwiches fokin inflation :(
✌️🤠💥🌟🌀🙏
@#rolfdejonge@
They cant all be comedy gems….
I thought this was one of the more tedious Python shows.
Thank you for the entertaining comment.
@@middleagedwhitebloke my pleasure
You have no sense of British humour!
@@neilprocter No one hates you, Clodagh
Well this hasn't aged well
It wasn't funny 50 years ago, either.
it makes fun of people obsessed with their bikes. They should just update the skit with mtn bikers.
Another example of how important Cleese was. He left and season 4 was awful. And he went on to make Fawlty, which was great.
What's wrong with it?
@@kevhead1525haven’t you seen that John Cleese plays in this sketch?
Amazing looking back how desperately unfunny and weak a lot of the Python stuff was, in amongst all the gems.
Unfunny comment.
@OuterGalaxyLounge It wasn't meant to be funny, it was an opinion.

Is his son a God being son of a god? Why is God male if he is the only god? Who would he have sex with?
I wouldn't got THAT far. Clodagh!

It's one of the funniest things they ever did!
