Monty Pythons Find The Fish Sketch
Created | Updated Jul 29, 2004
I am going to attempt the impossible.... to describe at least semi-adequately the pythons find the fish sketch....
LEADING UP TO THE INSANITY>>>>
It all starts at the the end of the zulu wars sketch, a zulu warrior walks up to the screen and zips himself in half to reveal, terry giliam who states "hello and welcome to the middle of the film" it then cuts to the middle of the film chat show, graham chapman then introduces "find the fish"....now I have badly set the seen i will try to explain find the fish with as much dialog as i can remember...
but first...
THE CHARACTERS.
ELEPHANT TRUNK BUTLER...
i have no idea which of the pythons plays this character maybe it realy was an elephant butler...
THE BOXING GLOVED CROSS DRESSING MAN WITH PLUMBING...
yes you read correctly greham chap man is dressed in a swimming cossie fishnet tights big leather boots one boxing glove and he has three taps two where his nipples should be and one where his erm ....manhood...thats right..manhood....should be..he's also caked in make up..
THE LONG ARMED MAN, WITH CLOWN SHOES AND A PENCIL TASH AND CENTER PARTING (gasp)...
played by terry jones the long armed man with the pencil tash and clown shoes (oh and a center parting) you have go to understand the genius of these arms the waere the length of look i shall show you through the
power of bad diagrams
O hand
O hand __/fore arm
__/ forearm (the funny bone) ____/ two elmows and
elbow and upper arm upper arm
every one cheer my terrible diagrams
THE ROOM>>>>>>>
imagine the queens house...now add a few demented people and a elephant butler pottering in the background..and saety deposit boxes opening and closing across the wall thats the best it can be described.
THE SKETCH>>>>> (the moment youve all been waiting for my cocking up the sketch itself...please dont hate me i did the best i could)
cut to the room, the elephant butler is walking towards the camera with a tray, the camera zooms out and we come to see then cross dresser (CD)
then the long armed man (LAM) comes into the scene moving erratically.
LAM; i wonder were that fish did go, that fish that fish, that fishy-
ooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo
CD;oh i loved him so i treat him like a son...
LAM; (stroking tash) and he went wherever i did goooooOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo
CD then tells a tale of woe, on how he/she has lost his/her fish while the LAM stalks around her/him and fondles her/his plumbing attachments and cups the plug dangling beetween his/her legs.......
If any one can think of anything i've missed please dont hesitate to drop me a line.
