I remember listening to a version of this on tape in high school... when you do weed out some of the absolute dross that a large amount of the Flying Circus was and distill it down there is absolute, almost timeless gold in there to be found.

Of course, then you get to their movies, and in particular Life of Brian, and you really DO have timeless comedy...

Didn't see that one (was searching for Fruit). Very similar vid, this one is the full sketch from the Flying Circus though.

For anyone out there who doesn't know Monty Python's Flying Circus or any of the movies by the Monty Python crew, they are worth owning. Chances are you will love them, or someone you know already does!!

From the Four Yorshiremen W-Pedia article:

"The sketch was originally written for the British television comedy series At Last the 1948 Show, and was co-written by the show's four writer-performers: John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Tim Brooke-Taylor, and Marty Feldman. The original performance of the sketch by the four creators is one of the surviving sketches from the program and can be seen on the At Last the 1948 Show DVD ... As a result of the numerous Python performances, and the comparative obscurity of At Last The 1948 Show, the "Four Yorkshiremen" sketch is widely and incorrectly considered to be a Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch."

Classic Monty Python's Flying circus. I have been looking for this clip for a while. Its one of my favourites. I love Cleese hamming it up as Hitler...I mean hilter and Micheal Palin does a great job as Himmler. Its one of the few sketches that the boys do that portrays real people. What makes it so funny is that Cleese, Palin, and the late Graham Chapman actually resemble those characters so much.
