'well the left leg is'nt silly at all and the right leg merely does a forward aerial half turn every alternate step...'
I still think the best skit ever was the Upper class twit of the year.
I guess if I had to pick a favorite, mine would be The Spanish Inquisition sketch.
I need to see that! I have only ever seen short clips of it from comedy 'bests' and stuff on TV.
Argh.
Argh.

thanks, I had forgotten the name of the sketch
I just remembered another classic python moment, when John Cleese in the Holy grail thinks he is rescuing a princess, and he ends up massacring everyone in the castle
"This is supposed to be a happy occasion, let's not bicker and argue about who
killed who..."
killed who..."
Who out of the original group are still alive? I know a few, but I am not sure on a couple of them.
I thought they were all still living. 
Nope, at least one has died (I thought!) . I am not sure which one though and how many if any (which I think there are).
Looks like Graham Chapman died of cancer.
Yeah, all of the Pythons are alive and well except for Graham Chapman who died of spinal cancer on October 4, 1989. Its sad to think about. =( John Cleese's eulogy for him was very nice. I have a clip downloaded, but I know where a full transcript is if anyone wants to read it.
The best movie is the meaning of life.
"So what are we doing today?"
"we are doing a birth"
"Ahhhh and what sort of thing is that?"
"that is when we take a new baby out of a mommies tummy"
"Wonderfull thing we can do now a days"
"I see you have the machine that goes BING!"
Pregnant Lady:what do i do?
Doctor: Nothing dear your not qualified"

The Monty Python team is compiling a new six-part series of old clips and new material.
Each of the five remaining members of the madcap troupe will write and present their own special episode.
John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and Terry Jones will collaborate on a sixth episode to honour the late Graham Chapman.
"They have all chosen their favourite bits from old Python films and the television series and linked them together in their own crazy way," a spokesman said.
The episodes are being filmed at various locations. Palin chose to do his at Teddington Lock in London while Idle's was shot at the Hollywood Bowl in California.
Monty Python's Personal Best will be screened on PBS in the US next year. A deal has not yet been made for broadcast in the UK or Australia.
American audiences first discovered Monty Python after PBS obtained the rights to the sketch series Monty Python's Flying Circus from the BBC in the 1970s and its popularity shows no signs of waning.
Spamalot, Eric Idle's Broadway musical based on 1975 hit Monty Python and the Holy Grail, has wowed critics and swept the board at awards ceremonies, picking up three Tonys last month, including best musical.

I think that they have started showing Monty Pythons Flying Circus on Paramount, just incase anyone is interested.
I have not really seen any of them, just some sketches from a few of them. It is a shame really. I haven't seen any DVD sales of the sketches, maybe I haven't looked hard enough.

I can't choose which Monty Python movie or show I like the best...they're all so funny!! 
The Holy Grail every time, I about wet my pants laughing at that movie.
Agreed. Tis truly a classic.
I am not sure, it is a toss up between the Life of Brian and the Holy Grail.

Thats more than a shame...that's a tragedy! Does the BBC air the show anytime? Over here, BBC America plays them every Thursday night from 8-10. I watch them despite the fact that I own/have seen them all. They never get old. Never.
I know, those jokes are priceless.
The BBC doesn't re-run them. How stupid.

Perhaps it's under a different name, but that site does not have "how sweet to be an idiot"
Good find though.
Regards, PA
PA, it might not be on the webpage because technically its not Python material because it was written by Neil Innes, who is not a Monty Python member. He just acted in a few sketches with them and performed that song.
Oh
My bad.
My bad.
My brother has the Monty Python songs album.
It is a pretty good laugh.
I advise you to get it, if you haven't already.

Which cd would that be? They put out a few albums with their songs on them. The one I own is called Monty Python...Sings! Its by far the best.
While in the spirit of recommending stuff...
If you enjoy reading, I highly recommend you go out and buy these books:
Graham Chapman: A Liar's Autobiography
or
The Python's Autobiography by The Pythons
Both are fantastic books! The Python's Autobiography weighs 7 pounds too. Haha. Its a big one. Graham's book is my favorite of the two though.

We aren't as fortunate in Australia as you lucky sods over there. Assuming I can find a record shop that can import it, I'm still looking at forking over twice as much money as a regular cd because of shipping. ANd I'm just way to poor to spend fifty or sixty bucks on a CD, no matter how good it is.
I love the Pythons very muchly, but I wouldnt spend 50-60 bucks on a cd either. Thats crazy. I'm glad I can find this stuff easily where I live. Hooray for Wal*Mart and FYE!
Ugh, Wal Mart

My favorite episode by far is How to Recognize Different Types of Trees From Quite a Long Way Away.

Back on the Python track...
That is a great episode, Byuu94.
And now...number one...the larch...the larch.

Yeah, I think that is the one.
The Lumberjack song cracks me up
That's one of my favorites, along with Medical Love Song and Finland Song.
I'm a big fan of the songs from the movies - knights of the round table, every sperm is sacred, always look on the bright side of life.
Though the lumberjack song is sweet as.

^ Always Look on the Bright Side of Life is my favorite song from their movies. Every Sperm is Sacred is a close second.
my son is named for graham chapman. he was born a year after graham chapman's death.
'holy grail' is my fave.

I saw a Michael Palin (I think) creation the other day, well part of it. Something about the most boring man in the world.
coldethyl, that is too cool! I love Graham. Its too bad he couldnt stick around longer. 
Mr Ed, not quite sure I know what you're talking about, can you elaborate more on this bit?

thanks.
yeah, i couldn't believe it when he died. it was a great loss. i think it's great though how the remaining pythons keep his spirit alive.
Michael Palin made a short film, something about the most boring man in the world.
I think it was him anyway.
I caught some on UK gold the other day.
It was pretty damn funny, he goes off with a robber and starts talking about how his mum, dad, brother and aunt left him because he was so boring.

Ah! I believe you're talking about The tragic tale of Eric Olthwaite, the world's most boring man. Right? I havent seen it yet, but I've read about it. No doubt in my mind that its funny. I love Michael Palin.
Has anyone here gone to see Spamalot or listened to the soundtrack of it? I've had it for a quite a while and find it amazing. I just kept forgetting to post about it. haha.

Spamalot doesn't seem to be doing the Australian circuit 
If it ever makes it down here though, I'm there!

Ah yes, I think that is it.
It is indeed funny, I regret not watching all of it.
Thats too bad, PA.
My dad said he might take me to see Spamalot for my sweet 16. I hope that might turns into a heck yes!
