Monty Python - Whizzo Chocolate Company

Back


A funny video from Monty Python's Live at Hollywood Bowl. Here's the beginning:
Contable: Mr. Hilton?
Mr. Hilton: Ah, yes.
Contable: You are sole proprietor and owner of the Whizzo Chocolate Company?
Mr. Hilton: I am.
Contable: Contable Parrot and I are from the Hygiene Squad...
Mr. Hilton: Oh, yes.
Contable: ...and we'd like to have a word with you about your box of chocolates entitled "The Whizzo Quality Assortment."
Mr. Hilton: Ah, good, yes.
Contable: If I may begin at the beginning. First, there is the Cherry Fondue. Now this is extremely nasty, but we can't prosecute you for that!
Mr. Hilton: Agreed.
Contable: Next we have number four, "Crunchy Frog."
Mr. Hilton: Ah, yes.
Contable: Am I right in thinking there's a real frog in here?
Mr. Hilton: Yes, a little one.
Contable: Is it cooked?
Mr. Hilton: No.
Contable: What? A raw frog?

John Cleese tends to dislike large venues over small ones, because he has to project rather than act. That could be why.

Projection is tricky because it's not balanced -- some characters sound natural with loud voices, but others sound totally forced. I imagine comedy is particularly hard, because certain parts need to sound louder than others.

READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Benny Hill was considered funnier than Monty Python by a UHF station that ran both! The station was WLVI TV Channel 56 in Cambridge, Mass. I agree with the station!

Got to love beef stew, right?

If we took the bones out it wouldn't be crunchy!

Terry Jones sounds silly in this version.

Thanks goodness J.K. Rowlings decided to make it that the "Chocolate Frogs" in her books were just frog-shaped chocolates enchanted so that they seemed to act as if they were real frogs, instead of actual dead baby frogs enveloped in chocolate.
