First time i've watched them i was already like 11 or 12 years old (back in the early-mid 90's) it was on a older cousin's VHS and i honestly didn't think much of it. Despite being from an European country, Monty Python was just not a regular show on tv when i was growing-up. When i was 16 years old i decided to revisit the tv-series, after renting (my parents i mean😆) Life of Brian and The Holy Grail for the weekend. When you understand the context of when it was made, what was made at the time (by comparison) and all the nuances in-between... it really is one of those few true life-changing pieces of media!

I love Monty Python more than life itself. The Black Knight scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the very first time I saw them. Needless to say, my jaw was totally on the floor.

When I clicked this. I thought "The first words I'd better hear are "Now you listen 'ere!" I was not disappointed in the slightest.

The scene in The Holy Grail where Eric Idle is a guard and the supervisor keeps trying to explain to him to stay there

The list should start with their first ever sketch and end with their last, there, I said it. I forgot to mention one of my favorites from the Holy Grail... "The Vorpal bunny in the cave of Caer-Bannor."

There are so many 'good bits' in Brian it's difficult to chose. But in Python I love the - not 'socially correct' soldiers on the parade ground singing. But the Spanish Inquisition is brilliant too, and just about evrything else!

One of the more rare sketches I like was one where Chapman's playing Biggles and is trying to dictate a letter to his secretary. At one point, the secretary calls him "Señor Biggles", which he gets very annoyed about. Then he calls in another pilot, played by Palin, who he proceeds to accuse of being gay, which he confirms and is swiftly shot. He then calls another pilot in, played (and dressed) outrageously-camp by Gilliam, who is also asked if he's gay, but is shocked at the mere question and storms out. Finally, when Biggles realises the secretary has been typing-up literally everything he's saying, he proceeds to put on a pair of comedy antlers to signal when she should or shouldn't type what he's saying. It's all ridiculous and pure Python.

Odd thing is, the cheese shop skit really happened in history, when the Russian Nihilists "The People's Will'", who assassinated Czar Alexander III, rented a shop so they could dig a tunnel under the parade route and fill it with dynamite. They stored all the dirt and rubble in cheese barrels in the back room but forgot to stock the shop with any cheese. So the government health inspector showed up one day, only to find the shop totally devoid of any trace of cheese but stocked with more dirt than he ever could've imagined. Only in Russia!

Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

To be fair it’s was just pining for the Fjords!

I was fortunate to see these sketches in their entirety, so I remember them well. The brutally truncated clips flashed here, however, can only raise a smile.

Although it might only be fully appreciated by those who had to take Latin in school, I would nominate the scene in “The Life of Brian” where Brian gets a harsh lesson in Latin grammar from centurion (John Cleese) who catches Brian in the act of trying to apply the graffiti slogan “Romans go home!” on the walls of the Roman garrison. Brian’s “Romanes eunt domus” is violently corrected by the centurion “Latin teacher” to “Romani ite domum”, and as punishment Brian is ordered to write out - the now corrected - graffito 100 times along the walls of the garrison. This sketch has the further hilarious characteristic that it translates well into any number of European languages; the dubbed German version is particularly compelling for anyone who was a schoolboy in 1970s Germany or Austria, where Latin in high school was compulsory if one was aiming towards university entrance.

I was in college when Holy G came out and I shared a house with 5 business and history majors but I was a physics major. After we all went to the movie I had to constantly hear "who are you who is so wise in the ways of science?"

you have to know these things when you're a king

The Ballad of Sir Robin (from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail") should be on this Top 10 list. End of Discussion.

I also loved the Twit race and the cheese shop sketch. Those were hilarious too. Actually almost everything Monty Python did was hilarious!

Probably against the rules for me to say this, but anything with John Cleese. His straight face through Dead Parrot, Silly Walks Ministry etc is wat sells the sketches.

Do a Part 2, including Spam, The Job Interview, and Musical Mice.

Anyone else notice that most of the clips from Flying Circus on here are actually from "And Now For Something Completely Different"?? Also, where's The Fish slapping dance?

"NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION"!!! I love that Monty Python skit. 😎

The humor of the Pythons goes on beyond decades, endless

Great but what about “There’s a penguin on the tele.”😂

#1 is right on. But my top ten would have to include 'Crunchy Frogs" as #2, and you don't even have it in the top 10. Also Arthur, 'Two Sheds' Jackson and La LLamas.

When I was watching the intro to this video I heard my husband exclaim in another room where he was playing a video game, "Oh, you're no fun anymore!"

The Proust competition was spot on and needs a mention. After all the intellectualism the prize goes to the woman with the biggest tttts

The Yorkshire men sketch has to be my absolute favourite, from the beginning until the final punchline, " and you tell t'e kid of t'day and thee won't believe yer,"

But the Yorkshireman Sketch was not a Monty Python sketch, it was from the "at last the 1948 show", which starred Cleese, Chapman, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Marty Feldman.

So much to choose from, I just can't, they were all great.

What! No Cheese Shop sketch? Or the Philosophy Department of Woolloomooloo (including the Philosophy Song)? Or the Shrubbery scene and Bloody Peasants scene ("some watery tart dispensing swords...") from the Holy Grail?? Too many classics to squeeze into a list of ten, I think!

Holy Grail, My all time favorite scene, the guards in the castle. The king trying to give them instructions to watch the prince while he leaves. I have met people that dumb LOL.

Michael Palin as the king talking about how his son, played by Terry Jones will inherit Swamp Castle: "All the other kings the thought I was mad to build a castle in a swamp......it sunk. So I built another one on top of it......it sunk. I built a third one......it burned down, fell over, then sunk. Ahh, but the fourth one, the fourth one! It stayed up! And that's what you'll be inheriting my son, the strongest castle in these 'ere parts!" And the son complaining about being forced to marry a very plump princess: "What's wrong with the princess? She's rich, she's beautiful, she got huuuuuge (holding his hands cupped in front of his chest imitating breasts) tracts of land!"

Oh, so many wonderful bits! I have to give a nod to "The Holy Hand Grenade"!

The "Upper Class Twit of the Year Competition" is one of the funniest skits in my opinion.

How could you possibly miss the Cheese shop sketch?

...and the Book shop sketch. And the Four Yorkshiremen.

I particularly like Anne Elk and her theory about the dinosaurs. During conversations, I often add “The next thing I am about to say is my theory.” People fall about in stitches. Or not.

Yes the ministry of silly walks was ICONIC 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Trying to listen to my sister in law at the same time. This was the funniest scene ever and I mean ever. I still think about it some times and start laughing.

My greatest academic achievement was translating the first line of the Lumberjack Song into Latin and still keeping the melody! Sum lignarius et sum bene …

They were truly ahead of their time! Still waiting for something as revolutionary in tv-comedy (and overall comedy itself) as they were.

THE DEAD POLLY!! Absolutely hilarious!!!

I think The Ministry Of Silly Walks was The Best & Funniest. Especially when John Cleese Does His Walk & When The Lady Serving Tea Spills It All Over The Place. LOL

I'm sorry... But by far the funniest was Biggus Dickus. Especially as the centurions were mainly extras and had no idea what was about to go down.

I grew up in the 70s. I remember reading the TV Guide and seeing “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” and thinking-I don’t want to watch no circus… Fast forward to the 80s and my college roommate exposed me to Monty Python. I was so upset that I never gave that silly listing a look. I made up for it, rented all the movies and bought the show on DVD when it came out in the 90s.

The benefits of not being seen. Funniest to me. Great video.🤣

A very short sketch that I love is where Palin claims to have written all of Shakespeare's plays, and he's shut down when Cleese notes that Shakespeare's plays were published 300 years before Palin is born. Palin admits, "This is where my claim falls to the ground." Also, in no particular order: Spam. Death of Mary, Queen of Scots. Cheese shop. Theatre critic (which I had memorized at one time).
