Monty Python Philosophy Football | History Teacher Reacts

hey there I'm Mr Terry a high school

history teacher welcome back to another

history teacher reacts video now I don't

know why but I've been getting this

video suggested me a lot recently and

what's strange is this should be decades

and decades old because it looks like a

Monty Python sketch now this is called

philosophy football maybe it's popping

up in the algorithm because we're around

the Olympics right now but I'm excited

to see what they came up with let's see

this now I'm not surprised to see a

Monty Python thing suggested to me

because Monty Python fans and history

fans kind of go together this is awesome

though but I am a football fan and I'm

assuming it's the football where you

actually use your feet let's see what we

got

here good afternoon and welcome to a

pack Olympic Stadium munchin for the

second leg of this exciting

final wait wait okay so Germany versus

Greece German philosophy versus like

Greek philosophy is this like a series

they do or something with this okay so

it is an actual like foot going to be a

footb here come the Germans now led by

their Skipper Noby Hegel J start favor

this afternoon they've certainly

attracted the most attention from the

Press with their team problems and let's

now see their

lineup the ger playing 4 to4 liit and go

back oh my gosh look at all these people

okay know liin K tgel Beck and Bower was

our philosopher named Beckham bow like

the actual footballer okay we have n

there we got okay yeah we got okay a

bunch

of shelling Front Runners Shel binstein

ner and haiger and the Midfield Duo of

Beck andbar and Jaspers Becken a bit of

a surprise

there oh wait okay so it's in okay

there's enough pixels

here make out anything but they're all

dressed up is that supposed to be

Beckham Bower Beckham bow is a Defender

I guess maybe that's why they're

surprises in the

Midfield and here come the Greeks Led

Out by their Veteran Center half

heraclitus let's look at that team as

he'd expect it's a much more defensive

lineup Plato's in goal Socrates a front

runner there and Aristotle as sweeper

Aristotle very much the man in form okay

I love this okay this is now this is a

good lineup here they even went with the

more like Greek uh like uh spellings of

it so we got Plato Aristotle Sophocles

we got Pluto Heracles democrates

Socrates Archimedes we got like the

whole game one surprise is the inclusion

of arim I don't know who's better

dressed for oh look at the skills that's

some good J well here comes the referee

Kung Fu confucious and his two linesman

St Augustin and St Thomas aquinus

K so we got confucious and Thomas

aquinus I didn't catch the other one

they're the referees all right so we got

some you know yeah it's a neutral party

so you got like you still got like

eastern and western so you got like your

Chinese philosophy with a quietus you

still have your European philosophy it's

a nice neutral arbitration and there the

two Skippers oh I just noticed it's a uh

it's a uh what do you call the the uh

the timer like that hourglass it's an

hourglass that's that's a good choice

come together to shake hands we're ready

for the start of this very exciting

final Che his is that Socrates the

number 10 they're off it's your ball and

Hegel there oh number seven on the

outside there with him there Beck bar

just covering debating with themselves

and and now it's the Greeks epicurus

number six talking to each other and and

Democrat with him

noes Socrates there is Socrates see

Socrates here's what I would be doing if

I was writing the sketch his whole thing

was he he didn't write books and do all

that he got up in your face in the Agora

into the downtown of of Athens he spoke

amongst the people and got in your face

probably would have been really annoying

probably why they killed him I mean

there's a lot of reasons but that's

something that people didn't like he was

pushing their buttons but yes he should

be up there like getting up at people's

faces this is

great the actors are great a ball a ball

the ger too exciting contest for the

moment anything interesting happens that

just nothing's happening well maybe no

score but there's certainly No Lack of

excitement here as you can see n has

just been booked for arguing with the

referee he accused confucious of having

no Free Will and confucious he say name

going

book confucious say name going book yeah

you g to go debate you don't go debate

the referee n dude work on your mustache

this is n's third booking in four games

he's always and who's that it's Carl

Marx Carl Marx is warming up it looks as

there's going to

be side obviously manager Martin Luther

has decided Lu the manager indeed he

must with only two minutes of the match

to go dude that's so good oh my gosh

this is so well so well like written

even though so much of it is so like

demonstrable with how they're acting

here all right so Marx is coming in he's

coming off the bench he's like the the

Super Subs but the big question is who

is he going to replace who's going to

come off it could be Jaspers heel or sh

but it's binstein binstein is for his

auntie only last week and here's marks

let's see if he can put some life into

this German attack he's ready to go

though evidently not what well now we've

just over a minute left to replay on

Tuesday so we're being exploited by the

Bourgeois the proletarian must rise up

everybody class Consciousness they looks

absolutely vital n aredes it's over and

I think he's had an

idea you have an idea

what

areses soes back to aredes

aredian a little flick here he comes on

the far

post the Greeks are going mad the Greeks

are going mad socy scores for beautiful

cross Mar the Germans are disputing it

Hegel is arguing that the reality is

merely an a priori adjunct of

non-naturalistic Ethics can't fire the

categorical imperative is holding that

ontologically exists only in imagination

and you don't even need to catch that

whole line there to understand that's

exactly what I philosophers would be

doing where they're just like you can't

even was he basically saying like you

can't even uh we can't even confirm our

own Consciousness and reality so how

could that even

count was offside but

confusion PRI mared the Germans are

disputing it Hegel is arguing that the

reality is merely an a priori adjunct of

non-naturalistic Ethics cany the

categorical imperative his holding that

ontologically exists only in the

imagination and Marx is claiming was

offside but confus

is being the pragmatic one there he's

like I'm not going to use a whole bunch

of flush uh uh fluffy language all right

I'm trying to speak to the proletariat

here and we're going to get on their

level by saying hey he was offside which

to be honest it sure looked like he did

let's go back to this let's go back to

the Highlight

aredes here comes on the look look he's

in front of him the goalie his back is

turned right now he's arguing something

I think markx might be right here guys

what do you

think the Greeks are going mad the

Greeks are going

mad the Germans are disputing it Hegel

is arguing that the reality is m a

priori of non-naturalistic Ethics can't

wait hold on is Mark Marx holding like

is arguing that the reality is

M and it's it's he's probably got his

Communist Manifesto with him at all

times right I mean for his case he

should just have the rule book istic

ethics can't the categorical imperative

his holding that ontologically exists

only in the imagination and Marxist

claiming was offside but confu answer

them with a final whistle it's all

Germany having transed England's famous

Midfield Trio Ben Lo and hops in the

semi-final have been beaten by the odd

goal and let's see it

again there it is Socrates head and

think he was

offside they got the philosopher

[Applause]

and epicurus is there and Socrates the

captain who scored what was probably the

most important girl of his

career FY of it all right I'm not going

to lie that might be the best history

related Monty Python sketch that I have

seen I've seen a few and I think I've

done some reaction videos to some of

them and you can see what I think of

that but that was so clever I absolutely

Lov that thank you all for requesting

videos to my attention is to come over

to the Discord server which is linked

down below there's a video suggestions
