Ok so a lot of it is dated, but I’ve been watching the Best Of…. on DVD lately and there are still many moments that stand up as pure genius.
For me though, it doesn’t get any better than the “Ministry of Silly Walks” sketch, in fact, even though they weren’t writing partners, I find the sketches that John Cleese and Michael Palin act on together are always the best.
Yeah the ministery of silly walks it is for me
Every Sperm is sacred is my favourite song.
Probably the knights that go ni for skit
The glass isn't half full or half empty it's just too damn big!
I know its from the Life of Brian, but I quite like the "Romanus eunt domus" grammar lesson scene. "Conjugate that verb!"Originally Posted by TheOwl

Also, its not even Python this time, but Cleese's sketch in Faulty Towers where Basil says to Manuel:
"There is too much butter on those trays"
"que...?"
"...on those trays!"
"No senor! Not 'on those trays'... 'Uno, dos, tres!"
The four Yorkshiremen sketch (that was theirs originally wasn't it?)
Fantastic, Spanish Inquisition a close second.
Check it out and laugh your head off!

i think the famous dead parrot sketch from monty python is classic!!
Why do they sterilize the needles for lethal injections?
Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?
If you're cross-eyed and have dyslexia, can you read all right?
The Lumberjack song is my favourite moment.
I also quite like the cheese shop with no cheese.
What about the one about the talking sheep? Or the bit with the rabbit in the Holy Grail??

Yo te quiero, mi querida. Sin tus besos, yo soy nada.
Abri o portão de ouro, da maquina do tempo.
Mi mamá me hizo guapo, listo y antimadridista.
i like the one in Flying Circus where there's a talking dog sitting
at a campfire saying he's an undercover detective. its trippy!
Not "Sit on my face and tell me that you love me"?
It would be wrong to say the parrot sketch is tired. But it is.
I've always been rather fond of the bignose bit in Life of Brian.
"One more time mate, and I'll take you to the f*cking cleaners!"

Did Latin in school - makes the "Person called Romanus they go the 'ouse?!" sketch so much funnier! If our Latin teacher had been allowed a sword in class, he'd have reacted exactly the same way as the Roman soldier every time we mixed up dative and ablative...
Four Yorkshiremen is quality. I quite enjoy the parrot sketch, the idiot quiz...
...the philosophers' song, the argument clinic (could apply to some posters hereGhastly Quizmaster: Jolly good! Well now Madam your first question for the blow on the head this evening is: Which great opponent of Cartesian dualism resists the reduction of psychological phenomena to a physical state and insists there is no point of contact between the extended and the unextended?
Ratbag: I don't know that.
Ghastly Quizmaster: Well -- have a guess!
Ratbag: Oh... Henri Bergson?
Ghastly Quizmaster: ...is the correct answer! (Piano chords)
Ratbag: Ooh, that was lucky. I never even heard of him.)...plenty of them! Have an old record of Monty Python at the Drury Lane Theatre - not quite the same when you can't see the actions as well, but still great listening.
From time to time I have been known to sing the accountancy-shanty:
"its fun to charter an accountant,
and sail the wide accountancy,
We'll find, explore, the funds offshore,
and skirt the coasts of bancruptcy...!"
(no, I'm not an accountant!)
or
"Finland, Finland, Finland!...
...a poor second to Belgium, when going abroad"
The Dirty Hungarian phrasebook one I've always found funny...
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
or, the machine that goes "bing!"
I'll have to stop, this thread could go on for months!
You want to come back to my place bouncy bouncy?
I don't think you're using that right..

Man (MP): Inspector! Inspector!
Inspector (JC): Yes sir?
Man: I was sitting on a park bench just now and I put my coat down and when I picked it up again I found my wallet had gone and 15 pounds had been stolen.
Inspector: Did you see any, anyone?
Man: No, no one at all.
Inspector: Well there's very little we can do about that sir.
Man: (pause) Do you wanna come back to my place?
Inspector: (pause) Yeah, all right.
The Four Yorkshiremen would be my favourite, but isn't it Tim Brooke Taylor's (from the Goodies), while Cleese was involved, I think it pre-dated Python.
(Oh Christ: Nerd alert, fcuk it, it's my favourite)
The Ministry of Silly Walks second
Spanish Inquisition third
Also love the
Brian: "you're all individual"
Mob: "We're all individual"
One Guy: "I'm not"
piece from the Life of Brian, IMO the funniest line in the history of Film.
Actually laughing here at the desk just thinking about it, brilliant
Cork City: Making 'Dream Team' seem realistic since 2007.
