Monty Python - Pythons on Eric Idle

Happy birthday Eric!

the sketch in the beginning is soooo brillant - who does not know stupid shop personel who are one day normal and friendly and one day reasonlessly rude alternatingly --- you can never cease to discover from anew how brillant they were - some sketch may seem totally obscure, and suddenly it makes perfect sense, this happened so often to me watching their stuff

Eric Idle is my all-time favourite Python

2:47 greatest understatement ever

Idle was best in The Life of Brian

LMAO you can actually see the blood rushing to his head.

He did that entire money rant without blinking.

damn i'm in love with him

I wish he was my grandad

Love Eric's jacket with the lines of music up the sides of the sleeves.

Palin's burns, or should I say pork chops are amazing. :) ;)

Loved philosophy during my early years of college, Idle is great at understanding it.

My favourite Python.

Could watch this a thousand times

I predict that the philosophers' song will stand the test of time.

sexiest python 😆

Gotta love Eric Idle

Hard to believe Idle could ever get old, Very hard

I love Eric, he's like a stream of bat's piss.

I have the biggest, most embarrassing crush on this man.

I live him too! I saw him in No Sex Please We're British ... what a performance

I had the pleasure of delivering Mr. Idle and friend to a restaurant when he brought his Greedy Bastard tour to a theatre I was working in in 2003. He left his Evian bottle in my car, so I have his DNA. I can clone him.

I always felt he was the least nerdy of them. A bit punk almost.

He does the best women :)

Suck it Americans for not understanding the Cricket reference. :p

my fave python

Eric Idle has always been my favorite.

"Fucking close to water." Truer words were never spoken

There is nothing more pointless and boring than the Pythons analysing the Pythons. Just watch the fucking stuff, laugh and love it, never mind the BBC's idiot ideas about entertainment.

what's the sketch at the end?

Yeah I know a lot of fans loved Michael Palin but I'm definately an Idle girl :-)

Man I absolutely love Spamalot!

“I love money.”

Es Connie Booth la que esta aki?

What a dick

What documentary is this from?

I love the fact of how much Eric doesnt take a lot of pride in his work and his friends praise his work.

Sometimes Eric was funny when he said nothing.

Eric Idle has been fantastic in so many comedys . He is so talented & absolutely unforgettable. A rare unique talent.

Eric was always the coolest Python. He was the one most connected to youth culture. If I was ever forced at gunpoint to pick a favorite Python character (you should probably get your answer ready too) it was Eric's "Kenny Lush" character who was the emcee at The Refreshment Room in Blechley. He only appeared once but made quite an impression on me.

why are these videos so much quieter than the graham chapman one

Gosh i loved Rincewind. "That's Death!"

to be fair I thought all of them had their moments none were 'stars' but all brilliant in their own way.

He came up with Meet The Ruttles parody of the Beatles

What’s it like 😋❤️❤️….

What in the Red coat hell is a Wicket keeper?

Lightning in a bottle. An amazing group.

I love Eric Idle he is smart, funny and has a great attitude, humility and vision. He is especially funny when he talks fast and has great face expression. Extremely important member of Python. Without him, John Cleese and Michael Palin there could be no Python.

Eric Idle's ability to switch moods and voices indistinctively has always amazed me. To me, that was one of his best assets.

“Don’t come here with that posh talk, you nasty stuck-up twit.” 😂
