My all-time favourite: Farming Club! "First Presenter: John Cobbley is the Musical and Artistic Director of Covent Garden. He is himself a talented musician, he is a world famous authority on nineteenth-century Russian music and he's come into the studio tonight to talk about Tchaikowsky, which is a bit of a pity as this is 'Farming Club'." ..... "First Expert: Well, if you can imagine the size of Nelson's Column, which is roughly three times the size of a London bus, then Tchaikowsky was much smaller. His head was about the same size as that of an extremely large dog, that is to say, two very small dogs, or four very large hamsters, or one medium-size rabbit if you count the whole of the body and not just the head." ..... "Here to play Tchaikowsky's first piano concerto in B Flat Minor is the world-famous soloist Sviatoslav Richter. During the performance he will escape from a sack, three padlocks and a pair of handcuffs." Classic! ~lovetulip.

Oh, I love so much of their stuff... my favorite film by them is The Meaning Of Life, but maybe that's just because it's special to me; it was the first one I saw.
My favorite sketch is the dead parrot sketch. Man i love it. I've got the entire holy hand grenade of antioch speech written down, but I imagine you can find it on google anyway, so I won't spend time typing it all out. Monty Python is way too amazing.
Favorite Python film: Life of Brian Favorite sketch: Hard to say. I always really liked the Self-Defense against Fruit sketch. And the Homicidal Barber. And the Agatha Christie sketch (Inspector Tiger).... and many more...
My favorite is actually a recent song... I'll post my favorite part of the movie down below... Eric Idle's song, "Fuck the FCC" Fuck you very much the FCC, fuck you very much for fining me, five tousand bucks a fuck so I'm really out of luck, that's more than Heidi Fliess was charging me. So fuck you very much the FCC, for proving that free speech just isn't free, Clear Channel's a dear channel so Howard Stern must go, Attorney General Shcroft doesn't like strong words and so...he's charging twice as much as all the drugs for Rush Limbo, so fuck you all so very much. So fuck you very much dear Mr. Bush, for heroically sitting on you tush, for Halliburton, Enron, all the companies who fail, lets send them a clear signal and stick martha straight to jail. She's an uppity rich bitch, but at lease she isn't male, so fuck you all so very much. So fuck you dickhead Mr. Cheney too. Fuck you and fuck everything you do. Your pace maker must be a fake, you haven't got a heard, as far as i'm concerned you're just a pasty-faced old fart. And as for Condolezza she's an intellectual tart, so fuck you all so very much. So fuck you very much the EPA, for giving all Alaska's oil away. It really is a bummer, when I can't fill my Hummer, the ozone is a no go zone now that Arnold's here to stay. The nuclear winter games are going to take place in LA, so fuck you all so very much. So what the planet fails, lets save the great white males, and fuck you all so very much.
King Arthur: Whoa there! Sodier: Halt! Who goes there? King Arthur: It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the castle of Camelot. King of the Bristons, Defeater of the saxons, Sovereign of all England. Soldier: Pull the other one! King Arthur: I am, ...and this is my trusty servant Patsy. We have ridden the legnth and breadth of the land in search of knights who will joing me in my court at Camelot. I must speak with your lord and master. Soldier: Ridden on a horse? Arthur: Yes! Soldier: You're using coconuts! Arthur: What? Soldier: You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're banging 'em together. Arthur: So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the Kingdom of Mercia, through--- Soldier: Where'd you get the coconuts? Arthur: We found them. Soldier: Found them? In Mercia? The coconut's tropical! Arthur: What do you mean? Soldier: Well, this is a temperate zone. Arthur: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land. Soldier: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate? Arthur: Not at all. They could be carried. Soldier: What? A swallow carrying a coconut? Arthur: It could grip it by the husk! Soldier: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut. Arthur: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here? ETC. ETC.
Hubby and I attempted to watch "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" last night... It was really funny at first but it got old really fast. We didn't even finish it, it got so boring.
my favourite monty python film is 'the meaning of life', but actually they're all equally great. My favourite scenes are 'Biggus Dickus' (from 'The Life of Brian) and 'Find The Fish' (from 'The Meaning Of Life'). I haven't seen the Flying Circus...
