Hulu - Saturday Night Live: The Parrot Sketch

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....

Although this sketch is great, seeing them redo it today is like watching Moody Blues in concert some 40 years later out of key and out of tune.

Python will never be old, they will live forever.
