What’s all this, then?
I’m a woman who can do the shrill pepper-pot voice in the Spam sketch, very badly. (Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam) People usually ask me to stop.
I could recite entire Monty Python sketches, unless you pay me not to.
So I was happy to learn that Monty Python has started a YouTube channel. They’ve posted a ton of popular clips, and I guess the theory is to beat the people who upload crap-quality videos at their own game, and find a way to make money.
They already have more than enough of mine, I’m afraid. I have all their TV shows on tape. I have all of their movies on DVD. I played both of their computer games. I have all of their comedy albums. I even have a couple on vinyl. At an earlier point in my life, I was so obsessive that I needed to own every movie any of the Pythons had been involved in.
Suffice it to say, I could watch any of these things without the benefit of YouTube. Taking a quick look, I don’t see all of my favorites, but maybe that’s coming in time. I guess the one thing that YouTube does have is accessibility. I don’t have to dig around for my tapes, which are currently in storage.
And now, for something completely different. And a laugh. I need one right now. And no, I don’t want to argue about it.
I’ll have to see if they have the lumberjack song somewhere on there. That’s still my favorite. Thanks for posting this; I probably wouldn’t have known about it otherwise.
