Argument - Monty Python

Argument by Monty Python with some scenes cut

[TheSilentGentleman]

The Brexit negotiations make sense now.

When Michael Palin's character says "An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a definite proposition, " he's directly quoting the Oxford English Dictionary.

As a child, whenever my sister and I had an argument in front of my parents, my dad would always butt in with
*"Is this the 5 minute argument or the full half hour?"*

Legend

"I've had enough of this"
"No you haven't"
I'm dead.

[squishydough]

"Taking a contrary position isn't just saying 'no it isn't'!"
"Yes it is."
"No it isn't!"

Two guys in a box, funnier than 90% of comedy movies.

[John-wumn]

“Oh - I’ve had enough of this...”
“No you haven’t”

Classic.

This video is a week short of 50 years old and it’s still 🔥

Monty Python forever

“I could be arguing in my spare time” is the best line in this sketch

[OneTwentyOver]

Such a simple concept. Would never occur to me in a million years to do this sketch. They're genius'

[FPVSteve]

"well it isn't just saying 'no it isn't'!"
"Yes it is!"
"No it isn't!"

Genius :D

[gandalfstormcrow]

"You filthy git!"
"Oh, sorry, this is abuse. You want room 12."😂😂😂

[cwwisch]

"I came in here for a good argument"
"No you didn't you came in here for an argument"
Clever

[yamabushi]

What kind of mind can make such brilliant and timeless comedy sketch out of almost nothing at all. Genius writing AND a brilliant performance!

Political debates in 2020 be like:

"I'd like to have an argument, please."

[strangebird]

"An argument is a connected series of statements to establish a definite proposition."


My college level philosophy teacher quoted this in our introduction course on logic and epistemology to give us a definition of an argument :)

[distrologic]

"I've had enough of this!"
"No you haven't."

[ryancalhoun]

One of my favorite little moments in this sketch is that even after Palin says "Oh this is futile" Cleese still goes "No it isn't, " lol

[lapamful]

It's like they predicted internet arguing 40 years ago! 🤣🤣🤣
