Saturday Night Live: The Parrot Sketch

For all who think that the error of the sketch was timing and no laughs, the reason was because the audience was reciting the entire sketch rather than laughing. I would be too. It's Monty Python! The only complaint I have with the sketch is that Cleese's rolling of the R's did get a wee bit annoying.

Painful maybe, but come on people the skit is 13 years old. Try commenting on something more current. See 5 other replies

I agree. What really was the point? Both John Cleese & Michael Palin look incredibly uncomfortable & annoyed that they were doing this.
It's sad, too, because Monty Python's Flying Circus was brilliant, far more brilliant than SNL will ever be. See 5 other replies

Absolutely horrible! What a butchering of a great skit. See 5 other replies

I felt sorry for them. They had no heart to do it and that made the delivery of one of the best comic sketches every lifeless at best. Who had the idea to keep it after it most likely died in rehearsal?

he had this great "i can't believe i'm doing this" look on his face at the start of the skit. whose (very bad) idea was this? See 5 other replies

this is by far funnier than the original...I realize they're not making fun of Bush43, so it can't really have any relevance or validity anyway, but I BLUDDY LIKE IT and I'm a well-wicked-good judge of such things....

Tags are keywords or category labels that can help you and others find videos on Hulu. They also classify videos for later recall. You can tag videos yourself by simply checking the box next to a popular tag for a video or by using the "add" field to create a new tag. Click on any tag — "comedy" for example — to discover other videos similarly tagged by you or other users. Because tags are reviewed by Hulu, there may be a delay in surfacing your tags. The most relevant tags are sorted by category for the rest of Hulu to see. You may assign up to 30 tags for any video or show; to review all of your tags, see the Tags section on your profile page.

Your tags may be visible to other users on Hulu. You should not use:

Profane or obscene language
Tags that are inciting or spiteful
Tags that might harass, abuse or threaten members of the community
Tags that may reveal your personal information or any personal information about children under age 13
Tags that promote illegal or immoral conduct
Tags containing special characters or more than 50 characters
