iGSM 26.01.2006 07:23 |
I do.. The Spanish Inquisition, Upper Class Twit of the Year and Cheese Shop Sketch. |
@ndy38 26.01.2006 07:32 |
Yeah it's a great show. My fave sketch is probably Ministry of Silly Walks or the one where the guy has the longest surname in the world, can't remember the exact name of it. Life of Brian and the Holy Grail are awesome too. |
iGSM 26.01.2006 07:39 |
Johann Gambulputy de Von...etc? |
@ndy38 26.01.2006 07:45 |
haha yeah that's the one |
iGSM 26.01.2006 07:48 |
I love that. I do like all Monty Python sketches...except the Dead Parrot sketch. |
crispy 26.01.2006 07:48 |
the dead parrot sketch is one of the better ones how can u not like it? |
iGSM 26.01.2006 07:55 |
It's full of 'Cleesisms' and 'Grahamisms'. Tiring very fast. Usually I can stand things written by John Cleese or Graham Chapman but it's not all that great. Sure watching a man smash a bird on the counter is amusing but..to put it short the sketch is boring. Much like the Cheese Shop Sketch...Michael Palin and the little animation at the end redeem that for me. |
iGSM 26.01.2006 07:59 |
Also The News for Parrots, The News for Gibbons, Today in Parliament, The News for Wombats, Raymond Luxury-Yacht, Blackmail, the Funniest Joke in the world, Musical mice and Nudge, Nudge are another few of my favourites. |

Kings of comedy. The films are good too. I love the Dead Parrot sketch, Cheese Shop, Spanish Inquisition, etc, etc. I also love the Four Yorkshiremen, although technically not a Python sketch. And the Pope sketch banned from broadcast on the BBC from The Secret Policeman's Ball. Fantastic. Me and my small acting group once won a talent contest doing a scene from the Holy Grail. We were also runners-up in another talent contest performing the Cheese Shop sketch. We were called MMP (Mini Monty Python) but are now defunct since I was not voted in for a second term as Chairman. |

Oh my... favourite sketch... Cheese shop...? Dennis Moore..? Argument...? Spanish Inquisition...? Piranha Brothers...? English- Hungarian Dictionary...? So many... Oh- both peaks of Kilimanjaro had me in stiches... The best thing ever. Better than Jesus. ;) PS And Life of Brian is basically the best comedy ever done. Although there's something about Holy Grail that keeps me laughing even though I saw it about 100 times... Ni! Ni! Noo... Noo... |
A Word In Your Ear 26.01.2006 12:33 |
I Love Monty Python, "Argument clinic" & "Deja vu" episodes are some of the better lesser known sketches, Side splitting. On Another note, I have met Michael Palin. he's from Sheffield, Just like me. it was quite a few years ago, before he did his globe trotting first series "Around the world....". he was a very nice "down to earth" sort of guy. |
Fenderek 26.01.2006 12:34 |
Deja vu- yes, BRILLIANT, forgot that one, CLASSIC! Michael is absolutely fantastic in that one. He's actually my favourite Python of them all... ) |

Fenderek wrote: there's something about Holy Grail that keeps me laughing even though I saw it about 100 times...Holy Grail "We've got a witch, can we burn her" sketch is brilliant. John Cleese saying "She Turned me into a Newt......(Pause)......I got better" makes me nearly piss myself laughing, every time I watch that, even though I have seen it loads of times. |
Sherwood Forest 26.01.2006 12:54 |
i love in the beginning of Holy Grail, they write something like we are sorry blah blah blah this film is not shown in color and is in all black and white, something really serious like that then they start falshing all bright, neon serisure colors, its fucking great. scuse me if i remembered that wrong the last time i saw it was when i was like 9 |
Fenderek 26.01.2006 12:57 |
I like the monks hitting their heads with those wooden tables :) You'r mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries |

Arthur "two sheds" Jackson & How not to be seen, sketches are also very funny, as is , Cleese & Chapman's , Job Interview sketch. |
iGSM 26.01.2006 19:17 |
And then a man got hit with a hammer...wait a second.. I don't remember tha-*gets hit with hammer*.. I love that show. I think it's quite good that John left in the fourth season to do Fawlty Towers, another grand show. Ooh, I also forgot the Argument Clinic. A couple of friends and I did that in class one day as an original sketch, tee-hee. No one was aware. |

I like "Self Defense Against Fresh Fruit." I love many others that have already been mentioned. I like pretty much everything Flying Circus (and of course the movies as well). |
Mr Drowse 27.01.2006 03:50 |
Love 'em. Especially John Cleese. |
Mr. Scully 27.01.2006 05:09 |
Life Of Brian is the best comedy I've ever seen. Together with Pulp Fiction :-) |
