I’m guilty – not of uploading Monty Python on YouTube, but at least of linking to pirated copies of their skits on this blog. So I heartily rejoice with the announcement of the Monty Python fellows of a dedicated channel on YouTube. Here is what they have to say.
For 3 years you YouTubers have been ripping us off, taking tens of thousands of our videos and putting them on YouTube. Now the tables are turned. It’s time for us to take matters into our own hands.
We know who you are, we know where you live and we could come after you in ways too horrible to tell. But being the extraordinarily nice chaps we are, we’ve figured a better way to get our own back: We’ve launched our own Monty Python channel on YouTube.
No more of those crap quality videos you’ve been posting. We’re giving you the real thing – HQ videos delivered straight from our vault.
What’s more, we’re taking our most viewed clips and uploading brand new HQ versions. And what’s even more, we’re letting you see absolutely everything for free. So there!
Check it out today!
I need no longer pine for the fjords of Norway,and can join the Liberation front of Palestine or was that the palestine liberation front….. Splitters!!
Hope our American friends can understand it-after all remember what the Grim reaper said about them!!!!
Wasn’t it something like: “You Americans – you always talk – well now you’re dead!”
Yes and beware the Salmon Moose!!
Never liked Monty Python, even when they were young.
Benny Hill guy, myself.
You’re such a heretic, PE.
I dunno, I’m all for paying the actors, but I don’t think these guys are actually paupers are they?
Having said that, I’m all for and official Monty Python Youtube.
