Now, we all know monty python are the greatest comedians ever, and especially john cleese. For those that ever watched the movies or flying circus, post your fav skits they did. My favourite have to be the full defence against fresh fruit, THE WHITE RABBIT! (holy grail) and the dead parrot is a pretty good one.
lol @ the holy grail ... the holy hand grenade of Antioch, that was funny. I like the bit where the surf says that Arthur can't call himself King "just because some watery tart threw a sword" at him. Someone here has a sig with a quote from that scene. I love it.
Life of brian is my favourite. The bit when they convene the committee to appoint a sub-committee etc etc reminds me of where I work. And "what have the Romans ever done for us?" lol.
My favourite quote is "Yes! We are all individuals."
Edit: Never went in too much for their other stuff, but I used to know the complete lyrics for "I'm a lumberjack"

Quotes from The Holy Grail
French Guard: Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time
http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid= … holy+grail
Minstrel: [singing] Brave Sir Robin ran away...
Sir Robin: *No!*
Minstrel: [singing] bravely ran away away...
Sir Robin: *I didn't!*
Minstrel: [singing] When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled. Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about, and valiantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet, he beat a very brave retreat. A brave retreat by brave Sir Robin.
King Arthur: Old woman.
Dennis: Man.
King Arthur: Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?
Dennis: I'm 37.
King Arthur: What?
Dennis: I'm 37. I'm not old.
King Arthur: Well I can't just call you "man".
Dennis: Well you could say "Dennis".
King Arthur: I didn't know you were called Dennis.
Dennis: Well you didn't bother to find out did you?
King Arthur: I did say sorry about the "old woman", but from behind you looked...
Dennis: What I object to is you automatically treat me like an inferior.
King Arthur: Well I am king.
Dennis: Oh, king eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.
King Arthur: I am your king.
Woman: Well I didn't vote for you.
King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.
Woman: Well how'd you become king then?
[Angelic music plays... ]
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.
Dennis: [interrupting] Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
King Arthur: Right. One... two... five.
Galahad: Three, sir.
King Arthur: Three.
Narrator: And as the Black Beast lurched forward, escape for Arthur and his knights seemed hopeless, when suddenly, the animator suffered a fatal heart attack!
[cut to the animator shown cringing]
Animator: Ughck!
[falls backwards in his chair]
Narrator: [back to the cartoon] The cartoon peril was no more.
[Beast of Aaaaauuuugggggghhh disappears]
Narrator: The quest for the Holy Grail could continue.
Large Man with Dead Body: Who's that then?
The Dead Collector: I dunno, must be a king.
Large Man with Dead Body: Why?
The Dead Collector: He hasn't got shit all over him
Knights of Camelot: [singing]
We're knights of the Round Table, we dance whene'er we're able. We do routines and chorus scenes with footwork impec-cable, We dine well here in Camelot, we eat ham and jam and Spam a lot.
We're knights of the Round Table, our shows are for-mi-dable. But many times we're given rhymes that are quite un-sing-able, We're opera mad in Camelot, we sing from the diaphragm a lot.
In war we're tough and able, Quite in-de-fa-ti-gable. Between our quests we sequin vests and impersonate Clark Gable. It's a busy life in Camelot. I have to push the pram a lot
King Arthur: On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.

Favourite bits, (apart from all the one's above),
The Upper Class Twit of the Year competition.
The fish slapping dance.
"Dennis, There's some lovely filth down here!"
"If I went around claiming I was a king just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me the'd put me away!"
"We have found a witch, may we burn her?"
Vocational Guidance Councillor, "I want to be.... a Lion Tamer".
Monty Python was a complete bolt out of the blue in a society who's comedy highlights consisted of crap sitcoms. They were the inspiration of many of the more off-beat comedians such as Rik Mayall, Ade Edmondson, Ben Elton, The Goodies, and many more.
Did you know that right until the last minute Monty P was going to bew called "Owl Killing Time" but someone at the Beeb decided that would offend.

I really like "How not to be seen" from Flying Circus
Holy Grail is a classic--just too much to mention now.
