What's Your Favorite Monty Python Line?

I don't know about you, but I grew up with Monty Python's Flying Circus. Those guys are geniuses! So many great skits, so many great songs.

Do you have a favorite line or skit from MPFC? I have several, but the top one of the week is one I just said to my daughter the other day. She keeps begging me to say it (complete with accent).

It's from the skit where the tourist had the really bad English translation dictionary, and he walks into a shop and declaims, "My hovercraft is full of eels!"

The Spanish Inquisition is my top pick for entire skit.

How's about you?

Hey MM, i love python, my dads a tragic python and goons fan.

Couple of favorites.

1. from the holy grail when the knight guarding the bridge is left with just a torso and no arms or legs, and he yells at the other knight, come back and fight you gutless b******. classic, i'm giggling now just thinking about it.

2. The albatross skit.

3. Minister for silly walks.

I'm off to you tube to watch a couple of clips now, thanks MM.

Ahh found it. WARNING gratuitous violence, missing limbs, and damn funny.


Monty Python And The Holy Grail- The Black Knight



"Tis but a scratch"

ROFLMAO.

It's only a flesh wound!

In that movie, though, for me, it's the Knights Who Say Ni!

"You must chop down the mightiest tree in the forest with ... a herring!"

Or defending the castle with fruit and vegetables. Hehe.

Im off. Clip clop clip clop.

Ha! I remembered it was a tobacconists, but I forgot it was Hungarian




My daughter was just giggling like a mad thing upon seeing it on TV and not just hearing it from Mom.

I love there shop skits, dead parrot, the robber, tobacconist etc.

What about Gumby.

My Brain Hurts!




ROFLMAOUMBH. (rolling on floor laughing my a** off until my brain hurts)

Shut UP Mr. Gumby!

What is that all about anyway? I lived in England for four years and never saw a Gumby-esque figure.

This here is one of my other favorite Python skits:

Oh there are so many!

Life of Brian. "He's not coming out he's a very naughty boy!"

Meaning of life.

Death: "THE SAMON MOUSSE"

American: "But I didn't have the samon mouse!"

Death: "SHUT UP, BLOODY AMERICANS ALWAYS COMPLAINING!" (something like that).

Holy Grail: The holy hand grenade bit: classic.

And any reference to

That's just the films, I haven't seen the series for such a long time!!

If I had to pick off the top of my head, the "Lumberjack Song" and the "Spam" skit probably get me laughing as hard as anything.

Monty Python - absolute genius.

Just for you, then, the Lumberjack Song:

From the Holy Grail:

"She turned me into a newt................... I got better."

"What floats on water?"

"Bread!" "Apples!" "Very small rocks!"

"Churches!"

"A duck!"

and

"How do you know she is a witch?

"She looks like one!"

Has to be from "The Holy Grail".........

When they encounter the French in the tower...........

"I wave my private parts in your general direction you wiper of other peoples bottoms. Your father was a hampster and your mother smelled of elderberries. Now go away or I will taunt you once more you stupid English k-ni-ght."

How about a drinking song?

Fish Slap Dance





edit:
oops, I guess you wanted a Monthy Python line... Here's one: "Terribly sorry!". Some people are walking accidents...


Monty Python - Just an accident

Any line, skit or song will do -- I should have named this the Monty Python Appreciation Thread.

The Fish Slap Dance. Classic!

For those who want to sing along with the Drinking Song, here's the lyrics -- such genius!

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table

David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel

And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel

There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill

Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
Hobbes was fond of his dram

And René Descartes was a drunken fart
I drink, therefore I am

Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed
A lovely little thinker
But a bugger when he's pissed

Dead Parrot

Ken Clean-Air System

One of my favorite scenes from Life of Brian (work warning: it has a bad word at the end):



Watching that made me want to sit down and watch all of Life of Brian tonight. Good thing I have it on disc...
