OT...Monty Python...what's your fave?

…that there is no cannibalism in the Royal Navy; absolutely none. And, when I say ‘none’ I mean there’s a certain amount; more than we’re prepared to admit.

and the exploding Scotmen!!

Brilliant!

Holy Grail. Ministry of Funny Walks…Spanish Inquisition…Oh no, not the soft pillows…

Hmmm…my favorite Monty Python…hard to choose between so much great stuff, but probably The Quest for the Holy Grail. I love John Cleese and the other knights in there. I fart in your general direction! Who can beat that :smiley: Has anyone seen John Clesse’s video “How to irritate people?”

Holy Grail

Even Veggie Tales the movie was influenced by Monty Python & the Holy Grail, as in, the chief crime of the Ninevites being that they slapped everyone with fish.

True story… some people I knew, when I was a teenager in the Philippines (okay… not knew… I still know them), fired a worker because when they sent her to the market to buy fish, they had instructed her to buy blue lapu-lapu, but the fishmonger tried to insist on selling her red lapu-lapu. She shouted, “I said I wanted blue lapu-lapu,” and picked up the red fish and smacked the merchant with it.

“Number 3: The Larch.”


Favourite film: Life of Brian.

hehe, Margaret Thatcher’s naughty bits :laughing:

Too many really to choose from, the Architect sketch, the Cheeseshop ‘Sorry sir, fresh out of them’

“Sit on my face, and tell me that you love me…” :smiley:

thanks for the “warnings” about my son, guys. I already know the child is weird!
He also knows all the words to the “Lumberjack” song - and I often find a very, very weird screen saver with fish on his computer (he has the Python “total waste of time” program).

Of course, this is also the child at about age 8 that participated in the talent show at his Catholic grade school - played “Whiskey 'Fore Breakfast” on the…

…nose flute. Told them it was a “traditional Appalachian instrument”.

He’s driving me nuts right now because he is going to be “Louis” in the “King and I”. If I hear “Whistle a Happy Tune” one more time I’m going to SCREAM!!!

Anyone want a 13 year old, highly gifted, ADD, strange kid???

guess the sketch:

“… and Oliver has RUN HIMSELF OVER!..”

the “bruce” philosophy dept at the university of wallomalloo (sp?)?

nudge nudge wink wink, say n’more Squire, nod’s as good as a wink to a blind bat!

My 3-year-old occasionally practices her silly walk. That may be my favorite sketch, and, as I have the complete DVD set, the little one has seen it many times and still laughs her butt off, along with papa.

Some other faves: The sketch in the police station where everyone has to speak in different voices. The two peaks of Kiliminjaro. The twit race (I did get the reference, rh). the Gumby Theatre production of The Cherry Orchard.

Favorite scene from a movie is in Life of Brian, when they’re freeing a prisoner and Pilate and Biggus Dickus have the crowd in stitches. “Wodewick? We have no Wodewick.”

A close second is the killer rabbit in Holy Grail.

The great git obstacle course race, next obstacle …putting on a brassiere.

Oh, yeah! :thumbsup:

May not be strictly considered Monty Python, but

“Yellowbeard” is one of my favorite movies, period.

Between Yellowbeard, Mr. Moon, Mrs. Beard, Blind Pew, Lord Lambourn…
there are just too many good lines to even begin to list just one. :smiley:

Rule number Six: there is NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO … rule number Six.
