The Meaning of Life (7/11) Movie CLIP - Find The Fish (1983) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
When the middle of the film approaches, the filmmakers ask the audience to play a game of "find the fish".

FILM DESCRIPTION:
The Meaning of Life is without a doubt the most tasteless of the Monty Python feature films; it also happens to be one of the funniest. Life's questions are "answered" in a series of outrageous vignettes, beginning with a pre-credits sequence at a staid London insurance company which transforms before our eyes into a pirate ship. One of our favorite bits involve the National Health doctors who try to claim a healthy liver from a still-living donor, pointing out that there's nothing in his contract preventing this. And of course, there's the scene with the world's most voracious glutton, who brings the art of vomiting to new heights before his spectacular demise. Be warned: though hilarious, this may be the grossest bit of comedy filmmaking ever conceived (there aren't enough words in the world to describe it in detail!). Loyal Pythonites Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin star in The Meaning of Life and share writing responsibilities, while Jones is in the director's chair this time out.

Did you catch the scene was shot with a fisheye lens? The fish is you.

[keefmack]

Saw this in a theater while in college. The vast majority of moviegoers where enjoying psychedelics of some kind, not even knowing this scene was coming. When this scene came on the screen it was epic. Most were laughing uncontrollably while others were so confused they thought they were hallucinating. It was awesome.

[vinnyvp]

thus the expression "elephant in the room" was born.

“And it went wherever I DID GO”

[jojorockets]

it's like a salvador dali painting come to life

[claypage]

The first time I saw this (in the '80s), my brother and I were laughing so hard I cried. What made it better: my dad didn't get this humor at all. He was staring blankly at the screen--not even a smile, just mild confusion. That made it even funnier.

[aksie]

I thought this was a nightmare I had... I didn't think it was real

[Swiatlocien]

Why is nobody talking about the half powerhouse control room half posh living room hall? It's the most astounding thing in that scene.

[Trystaticus]

I watched this movie for the first time last night.
This scene broke me.
I thought I was having a psychotic episode.

[SonicDestroyer]

In memoriam, two fine legends. Chapman and Jones, rest well.

[Koridai]

Those fishes from the fish tank remind me of seaman for the sega dreamcast

[LPH]

Although most didn't realise it, this clip did contain the very essence of the meaning of life.

[richardconnelly]

This actually sent a chill down my spine.
I saw the film in the theatres in 1983.
And I was 26 years old.

[aaronthebox]

This used to scare the SHIT out of me as a little kid

[hajjibarbara]

I'm sure Chapman thoroughly enjoyed making this skit.

[tokutickler]

Noel Fielding must have been a huge fan of this scene

[Gabrielecgomes]

This scene never failed to crack me up with laughter
R.I.P. Terry

[cbthethird]

I didn't realize Lady Gaga made her debut on Monty Python.

[ENZEEVIDS]

hilarious, surreal, original, trippy, clever, creative, ahead of it's time etc etc etc

[alexthompson]

I love that establishing shot of the English country manor.
