People perform their best silly walks in Monty Python inspired joke

This hilarious footage shows villagers' making a fool of themselves after local put up sign saying: ''You are now entering the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Silly Walks''. James Ruffell, 37, is a self confessed Python fan and decided he'd bring some humour to the village where he lives.He put up a sign in front of his house saying: "You are now entering the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Silly Walks, commence silly walking immediately."James wasn't sure if his neighbours would take part, but soon scores of people were hopping, dancing, and walking in silly ways past his house - and he caught it all on camera.James, who lives in Sonning-on-Thames, Berkshire, said: "I'm a Monty Python fan, the films are great.

We watched Holy Grail the other day and it still stands up."It's the basis for all modern comedy in my opinion, it's timeless."I put up the sign because I saw something similar in the states and we live in a quiet village with little traffic so I thought it was the perfect opportunity."I also set up a motion detection camera so it films people as they walk past, each night I go through the footage."James said that around 10 people perform a silly walk past his house each day, the eldest participant being 75 and the youngest just three months old.He added that there are famous residents in the village, including George Clooney, Jimmy Page, and Theresa May - but they're yet to perform a silly walk.James, a cinematographer, added: "I didn't know if any one would do it but on the first day lots did.

It seems that lots of people in the village have a good sense of humour."We've done four days worth of filming and we'll keep going til lockdown ends. "It takes a while to go through all the footage so we won't do it every day, just pop the sign up now and again."One woman in the video, walking her two dogs, can be seen raising her legs preposterously high in front of her, while others appear to be goosestepping.Another woman walks with her hands on her knees, crossing her arms over when her legs touch.One young boy pauses to look to the left or right as he takes a pause between each step.James continued: "It's just supposed to be a bit of fun.

I've been posting the footage to social media in a close page and people in the village seem to be loving it."We've got quite a few famous neighbours, I'm hoping they get involved."The Ministry of Silly Walks is a sketch from Monty Python's television show the Flying Circus, and featured in the first episode of the second season.
