Blood, Devastation, Death, War and Horror
Tony M. Nyphot's Flying Risccu

On the gardening show 'Blood, Devastation, Death, War and Horror', the host (Michael Palin) speaks to a man who speaks in anagrams, Hamrag Yatelrot (or 'Graham') (Eric Idle).

The two discuss his work on Shakespeare (or Malliwi Rapessheake), including 'The Mating of the Wersh', 'Two Netlemeg of Verona', 'Twelfth Thing', 'The Chamrent of Venice', 'Thamel' and his next project 'Ring Kichard the Third'. The host points out it's not an anagram, but a spoonerism. Hamrag indignantly says "if you're going to split hairs, I'm going to piss off" and leaves.

The Nude Organist (Terry Jones) plays a fanfare, followed by the BBC continuity announcer (John Cleese), the "It's" man (Palin), and an anagram version of the opening titles.

Whoever captioned this deserves a freakin medal

[noc]

just imagine trying to remember the dialog for this skit lol

[gertchacowsongertcha]

This is what made these guys stand out, surreal comedy, and often Intelligent comedy

[ShopFloorMonkey]

There were literally 2 lines left and they cut it off! The last 2 lines are something like;

Palin : "Ring Kichard? But that's not an anagram, that's a spoonerism!"
Idle : "Well if you're going to split hairs, I'm going to piss off!"
Idle leaves!

the subtitles were *very* helpful here tysm

What fans dont know : Eric was flipping words in REAL-TIME. Thats the genius of the sketch. Every python sketch had a 'Back-door' challenge for one of the cast members involved. Eric destroyed this one..

[camberwellcarrot]

To get through those lines, even if they had cue cards, which it really looks like they didn't, is impressive as cukf.

When you realize that this sketch is perfect for TikTok but the audience in the 70s watched it w/o captions and no rewind. And the Pythons probably spent three hours writing it just for their own amusement...

A shroe, a shroe, my dingkom for a shroe. That’s comedy gold right there.

[roberthorwat]

"But surely that's not an Anagram, that is a spoonerism"

"Well if you are going to split hairs I'm going to pss off!!"

[Supergeologist]

Eric Idle was the master of word play. His non stop critique of a spanish holiday is just genius.

[A-BurmaShave]

Hilarious. No comedy troupe has had faces like Michael, Eric, Terry, Graham, John, and Terry. Their expressions are priceless.

[borkabrak]

Monty Python would come out with these insanely creative, hilarious ideas. I really think they deserve every bit of their fame.

[Charlie_Crown]

Flawless delivery of those lines, what a pro 😳👏👏👏

[Macapta]

Something about that old video quality and the colour scheme of the time period is just so nice.

[GrayFrogg]

Malliwi Rapesheake is a hilarious name.

[LetsBuildWordPress]

when the mushrooms kicked in hours ago but you think they're just starting...

Eric (the half a bee) used to live in my old neighborhood in LA. I’d seen him a few times over the years and he’s really damn friendly. Great dude. No big ego. ✌️

[martincaz]

What makes it funny is that he memorized all that and delivers it flawlessly!!
