Monty Python - History of the Joke
Super rare– there’s another, more elaborate version of this bit in Live At The Hollywood Bowl, but this version seems somehow more anarchic, more unhinged. Graham Chapman is clearly drunk onstage, and the expression on Terry Gilliam’s face is priceless.

@thexalon I really enjoyed Gilliam as Cardinal Fang. “Not the comfy chair!!!!”
Yeh Graham Chapman sobered up in 1977 because his drinking was seriously affecting his work.
@rrtodd95 Okay I know I’m late in commenting, but yes he is drunk, because this was NOT the version from Live at the Hollywood Bowl, this is much earlier than that. He was still drinking at this time. Although I have to agree, this isn’t rare, you can buy this on DVD

The look on Gilliam´s face… adds to the laughters, I´d say!
Gilliam cannot keep a straight face.
