There are so many good ones. I personally prefer the Cheese Shop, The Lumberjack song and The Life of Albrecht Durer.

 

[Graustein]

Help, help, I'm being repressed!

 

[Sackwak]

Upperclass Twit of the Year sketch.

That.

 

[Damien the Pigeon]

I do enjoy Monty Python and their Ministry of Silly Walks, Parrot Sketch, Holy Grail, etc. However, I love how Family Guy made fun of their stuff that wasn't "funny or memorable."

Quoted from the show:

"I have a pet hedgehog named Skippy! And I shall walk him into town! And every time I step on my left foot, I shall say 'Boing! Boing!'"

That always makes me laugh.

 

[Raziel_Likes_Souls]

Self Defense, the twit olympics, and the Dirty Guidebook, "Big balls, bouncy bouncy." XD.

 

[Tattaglia]

Ministry of Silly Walks always does it for me. Although the Black Knight scene can be used in any situation where someone is brutally maimed for comedic effect.

"Oh god, my legs!"
"'tis but a scratch!"
*everyone laughs*

First ever LOLCAT?

Either way, I couldn't stop laughing the first time I saw this amazing 'reveal'.

But then again, what else would you use to get rid of killer cars?

I don't know.. I would think a real fan of Monty Python would find it impossible to choose just one.

 

[Rednog]

My favorite is the one where there is a dental association conspiracy in the bookstore.

 

[zoozilla]

I've always been fond of the "Fish Slapping Dance".

Not sure what to say to that, really.

That's the trouble I had with the question. So many great sketches and small factors, can there be only one (best thing about Monty Python)?

IMO, there's not any best sketch, but a culmination of lots of little things and individual talents that make Monty Python great.

For example, is certainly not as clear cut as Family Guy = Chicken fight scenes and cult references.

Haha, yeah my comment didn't leave a whole lot of room for conversation. Sorry about that. I just got off work and am tired.

I could probably pick out my favorite movie, though. The Holy Grail. But it's the sum of all its parts that makes it so great, not necessarily just one or two parts.

Although not to discount the series or other movies, because Monty Python is just plain excellence.

 

[r4ndom]

Everyone gets cranky mate, no worries. Working on NYE sucks.

Agreed with your post though (the more thoughtful one of course)

Plain excellence is right.

 

[Anarchemitis]

The Argument Clinic, followed closely by the Black knight.

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

The Argument clinic is my favorite one.

I second that motion

 

[Shivari]

I find Monty Python to be very unfunny. It's all so childish and none of it is very amusing at all.

 

[Khedive Rex]

I don't know really. The first one I ever saw was How Not To Be Seen so that will always hold a special place in my memories but I still wouldn't call it the 'best'. All their stuff is great.

Although, I also like the Mr Smokestoomuch sketch. I actually memorized that script and performed it for a talent show once. Lots of fun.

 

[Rolling 20]

Argument clinic by a long way. The funniest joke was also great. And "Wink Wink, Say no more". Those are my favourites.
