Monty Python - Ministry of Silly Walks

  • 0:02 - 0:03
    'Times' please.
  • 0:03 - 0:05
    Oh yes sir, here you are.
  • 0:05 - 0:06
    Thank you.
  • 0:06 - 0:07
    Cheers.

    MINISTRY OF SILLY WALKS
  • 1:12 - 1:15
    Good morning. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting,
  • 1:15 - 1:19
    but I'm afraid my walk has become rather sillier recently
  • 1:19 - 1:22
    and so it takes me rather longer to get to work.
  • 1:22 - 1:24
    Now then, what was it again?
  • 1:24 - 1:27
    Well sir, I have a silly walk
  • 1:27 - 1:30
    and I'd like to obtain a Government grant to help me develop it.
  • 1:30 - 1:32
    I see. May I see your silly walk?
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    Yes, certainly, yes.
  • 1:54 - 1:55
    That's it, is it?
  • 1:55 - 1:57
    Yes, that's it, yes.
  • 1:58 - 2:00
    It's not particularly silly, is it?
  • 2:00 - 2:02
    I mean, the right leg isn't silly at all
  • 2:02 - 2:05
    and the left leg merely does a forward aerial half turn every alternate step.
  • 2:05 - 2:09
    Yes, but I think that with Government backing I could make it very silly.
  • 2:09 - 2:10
    Mr. Pudey,
  • 2:10 - 2:13
    the very real problem is one of money.
  • 2:13 - 2:18
    I'm afraid that the Ministry of Silly Walks is no longer getting the kind of support it needs.
  • 2:18 - 2:22
    You see there's Defense, Social Security, Health, Housing, Education, Silly Walks.
  • 2:22 - 2:24
    they're all supposed to get the same.
  • 2:24 - 2:32
    But last year, the Government spent less on the Ministry of Silly Walks than it did on National Defense!
  • 2:32 - 2:40
    Now we get £348,000,000 a year, which is supposed to be spent on all our available products.
  • 2:43 - 2:43
    Coffee?
  • 2:43 - 2:44
    Yes Please.
  • 2:44 - 2:47
    Now Mrs. Two-Lumps, would you bring us in two coffees please?
  • 2:47 - 2:48
    Yes, Mr. teabag.
  • 2:50 - 2:52
    Out of her mind.
  • 2:52 - 2:58
    Now the Japanese have a man who can bend his leg back over his head and back again with every single step.
  • 2:58 - 3:02
    While the Israelis... here's the coffee.
  • 3:07 - 3:09
    Thank you - lovely.
  • 3:14 - 3:17
    You're really interested in silly walks, aren't you? Oh rather. Yes.
  • 3:17 - 3:20
    Well take a look at this, then.
  • 3:54 - 3:58
    Now Mr. Pudey. I'm not going to mince words with you.
  • 3:58 - 4:02
    I'm going to offer you a Research Fellowship on the Anglo-French silly walk.
  • 4:02 - 4:05
    La Marche Futile?
