The other guy?

There were also Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones..... They were a great team....

*moving this to the movies and tv thread*

my favorite is Eric Idle.

John Cleese is my pic, but they really work best as a team. John Cleese is almost always crazy, and does lots of physical comedy.
Cleese:"When a fiend comes at you with a passionfruit...."
ALL:"WE'VE DONE PASSIONFRUIT!"
Man, I love that "Self-Defence Against Fruit".

I myself liked John Cleese more once they were split, with Fawlty Towers being one of my favourite shows of all time.....

As a group they all played their part, so its hard to judge them against each other in that regard.

It's a toss-up between Idle and Cleese. I think Eric Idle gets the nod though; just for memorizing those half-hour long run-on sentences he always did..

It was a tough call.

In a dead-heat, John Cleese wins my vote. My favourite sketch of all time - Gumby Brain Surgery: "Doctor, my brain hurts", is classic Cleese.

I thought John Cleese was part-ic-u-lar good as the guy who saw things as double in the prre-mountain expedition sketch. While Chapman was jumping around the room trashing the place he was putting on some part-ic-u-lar-ly incredible physical acting.

In my opinion John Cleese any day!

yay Eric!

John Cleese

My favourite thing he was in was the spanish inquisition skit (no one expects the spanish inquisition).
After monty python broke up I also thought he was good in a show he made called How to Irritate people .

Michael Palin - in the dead parrot sketch is for me without a doubt the funniest moment in Python history. Wonderful stuff
