The Spanish Inquisition?" "Yeah, I've never heard of it. Is it a band?" "Is it... no. It's... You've really never heard of it?" "Never." "It was a thing like 500 years ago where the Catholic Church decided to make the whole world Catholic by torturing and killing everyone who wasn't." "So... not a band then." "No, not a band."

  • Before my sister got married, her boyfriend at the time was on the phone at the church (I think he was talking to his brother, but I can't really remember). He was supposed to be doing something with me and my brothers, but he was taking a long time on the phone (it was a landline, by the way... cell phones were not yet prevalent). We got bored and went poking around in the church's storage cabinets and found a pair of red graduation-type robes and a drying rack for dishes (like in the skit). We instantly had the same idea, having seen this skit before. We continued looking until we found something to use as a rope (I think we used an old bungee cord), then got into costume and jumped into the room he was in and shouted "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" He had seen the skit before as well, and laughed the entire time we went through our version of it (we must have found a pillow somewhere, because I remember poking him with it after we "tied him to the rack"). They've got four wonderful kids now... in fact their oldest is about the age my sister was when we pulled that little "prank." Good times.

    • @@christopherchander2754 OK. This is real. Nothing added or exaggerated. Winter of 1992. The worst winter on record. BritRail had gotten hundreds of new train electric train cars. Most trains in Britain are electric. I lived in Cobham, near Esher, on a diesel line out of Waterloo Station. Many of the new train cars had their engines burning out, because snow was being sucked into the electric motors. Millions were stuck at home or at work. People were pissed. Parliament was at a standstill. MPs complaining, and yelling at each other. The whole government stopped on this one issue. I was very interested, and very lucky to be on a diesel line. Ok, I worked in The City - central London. I came home, plopped down in front of the telly to see what happened that day for BritRail. Turned on the News. There was a BritRail spokesman - stiff, and humorless (like John Cleese) and a reporter (eager, and small) like Michael Palin. The Palin like reporter asked "what happened??" The stiff, humorless, BritRail spokesmen then said ----- "Wrong kind of snow". I Fell out of my chair laughing. I had to control myself. I wanted to hear the incisive question the reporter would surely ask. "What kind of snow did you expect?" or "How many kinds of snow are there?, Something. B U T --- the reporter turned to the camera and said, "there you have it, Wrong kind of snow. And back to you." Now if that isn't a Monty Python skit, I don't know what is. Like I said, Monty Python is NOT comedy. It is documentary.

  • I had experiences in the UK that seemed like Monty Python episodes. First experience --- It was the winter of '91. The coldest winter ever. A blizzard destroyed Brit Rails new trains. Snow was ingested into the electric motors and shorted them out. People couldn't get to work throughout the realm. They were pissed. Parliament talked about nothing else. The nation was at a standstill. Fortunately, I used a diesel line out of Waterloo Station. I came home, turned on the telly, and watched the news. There was Brit Rail spokesman, stiff and wooden (like John Cleese). A reporter (like Michael Palin) asked him the question "What happened?" The Cleese-like spokesman calmly answered ---- "Wrong kind of snow" (actual quote). I fell on the floor laughing. Composed myself quickly - I did not want to miss the follow-up question. --- (How many kinds of snow are there? What kind of snow were you expecting? etc. ANYTHING.) But, the reporter turned to the camera and said, "There you have it, wrong kind of snow, and back to you....". Now, that really happened. Look it up. That was a real-life Monty Python skit.

    • I always think of the british as erring on the side of understatement. I was hanging out with friends, new years eve, We were in a primitive cabin, in the middle of northern minnesota. So I have my shortwave radio. We were drinking beer, playing a boardgame, and listening to the BBC on shortware. It was mainly news. Then at midnight in the UK, the announcer says "As it's nearly midnight, we will take you to big ben, for the chiming of midnight." (Big Ben Chimes 12 times.) "It's now midnight, a new year. Back to the news". We all laughed at this, being so used to the american way of trying to hype up everything.

    • @@michaelbauers8800 Very true. But, it is still a crazy country. Note my next story ---- I worked in London, lived in Esher, Surrey. Each morning, I took the diesel train into Waterloo Station. British trains run like clockwork and are very reliable. I am relaxed, on the train, reading the paper. All the passengers were reading the paper. Then -- the train slowly rolls to a stop. No station. It just stopped rolling. I looked around trying to figure "what is going on?" All the Brits just acted like everything was OK, and stayed calm, as if they didn't care. I am an American. I had to get to work. I had appointments to make, and business to do. I was getting agitated, asking people, "What's going on?" "Should we stage a train mutiny?" Something !! The Brits just looked at me blankly, as if they were saying to themselves, "what is wrong with these Americans??" Anyway, the train speaker crackles to life, and it says, "Pardon for the delay, there are swans on the line". W T F ? ? Swans??? In Chicago, if there were swans, geese, or any birds on the line, we would not stop our trains. METRA would have made pate out of them. BUT -- in UK, they stop for swans?!?!? Well, it turns out, ALL the swans in all of UK belong to the queen. No one f**ks with the Queen's swans. She will mess you up if you do. My conclusion?? Britain is a crazy country.

  • Some time around 1975 I was clinking the big sundial shaped dial that had between 8 and 10 VHF channels on my TV(the main networks were on this, NBC,ABC,CBS and local and public stations that shared signal output my little TV antenna could pick up.) while clicking from one channel to another I came upon this very sketch.... and a kind of permission seemed to have been granted. It was the way we found our friends. By saying little bits of sketches from Monty python and reenacting them in front of our schoolmates we exposed our irreverence to the world, outing ourselves as Pythons. We naturally would gravitate toward one another for saying things like " I'd like to return this Parrot," or spontaneously singing the "Spam" song.

My mom set me up on a blind date who tried to “educate” me on the genius of it all. When I could throw quotes, characters & skits right back at him, he said he was amazed a “girl” could know so much about MP. Then he told my mom I was out of his league and I never heard from him again. Still makes me laugh.

Also the inquisition wasn’t crazy priest running around torturing people but it was highly trained theologians debating heretics.
