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

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.

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.

No... long levity is more humorous. If you're stuck with humour, you may not understand...

Betwixt Hagar and Fozzer, I forgot what I was originally intending to post.
I find only certain Python skits, sometimes only one part in a skit, humorous/humourous, especially those for television, which makes it short on entertainment. The Holy Grail, although not entirely entertaining, was preferable to any of the series. Although I note the similar genre, I much prefer the former Python castmember's show:
Fawlty Towers
with John Cleese.
I find most of the Mr. Bean skits more annoying than funny whereas most of the
Are You Being Served?
shows at least peked a few smiles as did Benny Hill, although he was often too lewd.

We have that effect on most people.

I agree with that. Most of the Python skits go on for far too long. This seems a common trend with modern comedy.
Quote:

It's all in the mind. Are You Being Served & the Benny Hill Show are old-fashioned classic British comedy with plenty of double entendre like the Carry On films. Lewdness might have been implied but unlike "alterative comedy" there was never anything objectionable in it.

That's about their excuse concerning our outlook on certain current productions. Another related point: though not usually quite as suggestive, even previews for the old shows (rather, when they were about to be new) were too revealing; the same can be doubly said for today's previews (is that 'implied' enough?).

Well, you all aren't alone.
Though I did like 'History of the World,Part 1'
I guess I just don't see a lot of 'funny' in that sort of humor.
