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!

Sheesh, I forgot SPAM!
NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!!
Minister of Silly Walks
Blackmail!
Argument Clinic
Lumberjack Song (heck, that entire ep is brilliant!)
Nudge Nudge
Dead Parrot
Upperclass Twit
Camelot Song (the lego.com website has a great parody of this)
All of the movies, especially Holy Grail and Hollywood Bowl
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?

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 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!
