Favorite Monty Python film and/or skit?

I would have to say that my favorite Python film would be The Holy Grail, although I love Life of Brian and Meaning of Life as well. All three are fantastic, but The Holy Grail is the funniest of the three. It's pretty amazing that this film was created on such a small budget, too. The coconuts were used by 'Patsy' because they were too poor to afford horses.

My favorite scene from this movie would be the witch trial, without a doubt.

Bedamir: "How do you know she is a witch?"
Guy in Crowd: "She turned me into a newt!"
Bedamir: "A newt?"
Guy in Crowd: "...I got better. Burn her anyway!!"

Dennis: "Supreme executive power derives from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!"
King Arthur: "Shut up! I order you to shut up!"

 

NI NI NI NI NI

We are the nights who say..... NI!

We are the keepers of the sacred words NI, PENG AND NOOOOWUM!

 

But how do you know she is a witch?

She looks like one!

There are simple ways of telling whether she is a witch.

There are? Tell us!

What do you to with witches?

BURN THEM!!!!

And what do you burn apart from witches?..... I'll wait for you to come in with this one buddy

 

More witches!

 

apples... tomatoes... little tiny rocks (or something like that)...

w-wood?

 

Sir Galahad: But I saw the Holy Grail, in this castle! I saw it!
Zoot: Oh No! It was the grail shaped beacon. It must of been Zoot!
SG: But you are Zoot...
Z: No, I'm Zoot's twin sister. Oh! How dare that naughty Zoot! You should give her a good spanking. In fact, you should give us all a good spanking right now! Ha Ha!

(interruption)

King Arthur: Oh! How good that we found you Galahad! You were about to go through many a peril.
SG: But I could have faced the perils.
KA: No, these perils were too hard for you to face.

...or from Flying Circus...

Man 1: You Vacuous Toffy-Nosed Malanodruous Pervert!!!!!!
Man 2: What? I came in here for 'Argument'!!!!!!
Man 1: Oh, oh, I'm sorry this is 'Abuse'...

My favorite movie is Holy Grail, and the skit that comes to mind is the Bicycle Tour. I love how he kept falling off the bike and injuring his lunch.

 

the holy grail is the best indeed,
i like the skit having to do with silly walking lol.

 

'The Meaning Of Life' is also a good one. I like the thing at the end where the guy chose his own way to die, which was being chased by naked woman and falling off of a cliff into his own grave.

Or the morbidly obese guy who comes into the restaurant and doesn't just eat himself to death, but eats himself to explosion (if that's even proper grammar).

Or the sketch on Flying Circus about the 2 lovers who are about to do it, and when they fall into bed, all of these short films showing explosions, rockets taking off, etc., are playing. You may think it's just a metaphor, to hide a gratuitous sex scene, but actually it's just the guy playing the films instead of doing it... Well I can't explain it, you gotta see it for yourself.

 

The Holy Grail is such a funny movie! I haven't seen it in forever.


A friend of mine got married a few months ago and all the guys there sang the Lumber jack song with lyrics that fit the groom. It was sooo funny. They said that they sing it at every wedding they go to.

 

Search for the Holy Grail- brave sir robin sketches

 

It's so hard to decide... I'm a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge Monty Python fan! I guess movie-wise, it's a toss-up between The Holy Grail and The Life Of Brian.

As for sketches, where do I begin? The contact lenses sketch from the lost German episode is one of my favorites.


One of my favorite lines? Michael Palin plays a famous HOllywood actor in a skit where they're filming a movie called "Scott Of The Sahara" and he screams... "I wanna fight the liiiiiioooonnnnn!" LOL Funny stuff!

 

The Spam sketch!

 

The killer bunny is by far the best. THAT RABBIT'S DYNAMITE! Or the Holy Handgrenade of Antioch. One....two.....five!

 

oh the killer bunny is indeed magic.

and I love the whole of now for something completly different -
such as the hell's grannies (we like pullin' the 'eads oof sheep...and teacakes..oh yes, yes..)

but the fresh fruit sketch (from now for something..) is probably my favourite - (don't know how accurate this quote is, sorry)

Cleese (the Instructor): "Now it's very simple to deal with a banana fiend. First, you force him to drop the banana. Then you eat the banana, thus disarmin' 'im". You have now renderd 'im 'elpless"
jones?(a cadet) "suppose 'ees got a bunch?"
cleese: "Shuddup"
Idle ( a welsh cadet) : "suppose he's got a pointed stick?"
cleese: "SHUT UP"

pointed stick... *shuffles off giggling"

 

Oh yeah! I haven't seen the "defense against fresh fruit" skit in ages! Priceless! I have to watch that one again...

 

Favorite movie is definitly Holy Grail. I love the part where they come across the sorceror Tim. He he

My favorite skit is harder to choose. It's either The Spam skit, or the Spanish Inquisition or anything with Terry Jones... I Love that man!

 

OOOO I just remembered one, the Nudge-nudge, wink-wink one. that is hilarious!

 

"We are now, no longer the 'Knights who say Ni'! We are now the knights who say 'Ecky, Ecky, Ecky, Pakang, Zoom-ping!"
"...Ni!"
