So what is your favourite Monty Python sketch? I quite like "I wish to report a burglary" and the killer rabbit Grin

Don't really have a fav sketch, they're all so good. The deceased parrot, vocational guidance councilor, hey wasn't that the one with that great line, "I don't want to be an accountant, I want to be a lion tamer"? Reminds me of tax season. Bureau of Funny Walks. Can't recall too many.

Sure wish PBS here would re-run the series, but they're getting really snooty with their programming and think they've progressed beyond good stuff.

Oh god there are so many great ones to choose from!

Obviously the killer rabbit, the black knight, and the french castle scenes in Holy Grail.

Countless scenes in the Meaning of Life, such as the one at the end with the Grim Reaper, and the ending monologue on the actual meaning of life and film is excellent!

Add to this the dead parrot, and the lumberjack song among many more from Flying Circus and you should be set!

(Still have to see Life of Brian, looks great!)

Am I the only person in the world not to see anything amusing in Monty Python?

Perhaps I'm the the only one prepared to admit it. Undecided

Know what you mean; same with me about South Park and Family Guy.

Ditto, and ditto. It's hard not to know a little something about them in today's world, but I don't watch any of them. Nor do I watch Monk. Sorry, I just can't stand the actor, especially in that role. I'd much rather watch reruns of Becker, MASH, Night Court, or several others.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
