Monty Python
 

Hey everyone,
I am not sure if there is a thread devoted to Monty Python before, but I want to start one any. So here it goes!

What is your favorite MP moment. It could be a movie or a sketch from the Flying Circus show.

Here's mine:

The Meaning of Life

The Holy Grail

Life of Brian

The Dead Parrot Sketch

Tennis Playing Blancmange Sketch

The Royal Hospital of Overacting sketch

Terry Gilliam's cartoons are wacky!

If you read the 'FoxTrot' cartoon, last Sunday's strip was Pythonized!

There are also plenty of Python influences in the "Veggie Tales" series, including a couple of priceless ones in the Jonah movie. The guy who started "Veggie Tales" is a big Python fan.

AOIIalum, I agree with all of you choices.

I vaguely remember one:

"Dead vicar (or was it bishop) on the landing!"

"RC or C of E?"

Anyone else remember that?

I just watched my first ever Monty Python movie last Friday (Life of Brian)....it was so freaking funny! I'm going to have to rent the Holy Grail now and watch it...I couldn't understand why all the guys that were in England with my watched it almost every week! :)

"Your mother was a hampster...and your father smelled of ELDERBERRIES!"

YEAH Grail!

<---also a huge fan of "Nudge, Nudge" and the tupperware skit (I forget the name...)

Re: Sheesh, I forgot SPAM!
 

My favorite! I've used this a few times in my public speaking lectures when we turn to the serious topic of persuasion.

"Argument is the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says"

"Yes it is!"

"No it isn't"

That, and "Oh! I'm sorry, this isn't argument, this is abuse! Try Mr. Barnard, Room 12."

I remember nearly falling on the floor when I heard the sperm song. :p

-- "We've found a witch! May we burn her?!"

-- "Look. Strange women lying about in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. . . . Help! Help! I'm being repressed! Come and see the violence inherent in the system!"

-- "Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time."

-- "Couldn't I face just a little of the peril?" "No, it would be too perilous."

-- "But father. I just want to sing!"

-- Traffic Lights

-- The Spam Song

-- Mary, Queen of Scots

-- How to Defend Yourself Againt Someone Weilding a Banana"

-- The Book Shop ("Ah, Dickens!")

-- "This is an ex-parrot!"

-- The Lumberjack Song

I could go on and on and on....

OOOHH!! OOOHH!! I forgot one:

The penguin on the telly

I can't even list them all because there are waaaaaaaay too many that I love!

btw, I find it kind of funny that this thread started today. Back in high school, my friends and I dubbed today National Monty Python Observance Day because the date is 6/9. We thought we were cool.

Anyway.

Happy National Monty Python Observance Day!
