One of the funniest tv shows of all time. This thread is for Python fans. What are your favourite sketches, favourite quotes?

Personally I think 90% of it is genius.

Fave Sketch: This is a tie. I could never choose between: A: The Cheese Shop
B: The Argument Clinic

Fave Quote: Many. Here's some good one's
This isn't an argument, it's just contradiction.
No it isn't


'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'it's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!
THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!


But first on the show we've got a man who speaks entirely in anagrams.

Idle: Taht si crreoct.

Palin: Do you enjoy it?

Idle: I stom certainly od. Revy chum so.

Palin: And what's your name?

Idle: Hamrag - Hamrag Yatlerot.

Palin: Well, Graham, nice to have you on the show. Now, where do you come from?


Sgt.: We haven't done them, have we? Right. Bananas. How to defend yourself
against a man armed with a banana. Now you, come at me with this banana. Catch! Now, it's quite simple to defend yourself against a man armed with a banana. First of all you force him to drop the banana; then, second, you eat the banana, thus disarming him. You have now rendered him 'elpless.

Palin: Suppose he's got a bunch.

Sgt.: Shut up.

Idle: Suppose he's got a pointed stick.

Sgt.: Shut up. Right now you, Mr Apricot.

Chapman: 'Arrison.

Sgt.: Sorry, Mr. 'Arrison. Come at me with that banana. Hold it like that, that's it. Now attack me with it. Come on! Come on! Come at me! Come at me then!
(Shoots him.)

Chapman: Aaagh! (dies.)

Sgt.: Now, I eat the banana. (Does so.)


Bizzare, but still very funny. What are other people's favourite Python moents?

Don't know if it's in MP's Flyin Circus, but my favourite sketches are:

Is... is your wife a goer? Eh, know what I mean, nudge-nudge, say-no-more!
Your wife, does she go eh? does she go?

She sometimes goes, yes.

I bet she does, I bet she does!


And also I love The Upper Class Twit of The Year Competition

Yup it's Gilliam. That guy , all of them are brilliant. I couldn't even pick a fav, I think it's ALL hilarious...

Charliebobo Yes both those scetches you mentioned are indeed Python .

Did anyone catch the HBO special where they got the lifetime achievement award? HAHAHAHAHAHA ,DAMN they haven't lost a step....Cleese's speech and the Urn incident are as classic as anything they've done....

Sure wish they'd make another film ...

Here's one for ya http://www.joblo.com/ubb/wink.gif :

Ich bin ein Holzfäller und fühl mich stark
Ich schlaf des Nachts und hack am Tag

Er ist ein Holzfäller und fühlt sich stark
Er schlaft des Nachts und hackt am Tag

Ich fälle Bäume, ich ess mein Brot
Ich geh auf das WC
Am Mittwoch geh ich shopping
Kau kekse zum kaffee

Er fällt die Bäume er isst sein Brot
Er geht auf das WC
Am Mittwoch geht er shopping
Kaut kekse zum kaffeev

Er ist ein Holzfäller und fühlt sich stark
Er schlaft des Nachts und hackt am Tag

Ich fälle Bäume und hupf und spring
Steck Blumen in die Vas
Ich schlupf in Fraukenleider
Und lummel mich in Bars

Er fällt Bäume, er hupft und springt
Steckt Blumen in die Vas
Er schlupft in Fraukenleider
Und lummelt sich in Bars...?

Er ist ein Holzfäller und fühlt sich stark
Er schlaft des Nachts und hackt am Tag

Ich fälle Bäume, trag Stockelschuh
Und Strumpf und Bustenhalter
Wär gern ein kleines Mädchen
So wie mein Onkel Walter

Er fällt die Bäume, tragt Stockelschuh
Und Strumpf und Bustenhalter...?

You mean the German thing? Yeah thats Python.....It's The Lumberjack Song in German http://www.joblo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif They had a special Flying Circus that aired in Germany, and because they didn't want to overdub, they actually spoke everything in German....here's a cool link with lyrics to all their songs :

Hmmmm CCC, you stumped me with that one, what is the English version of that? Would I have caught it on one of the English Python's or was this specific to the German versions?

Thingsgoinon; that IS an english sketch. True its not as well known as The Spanish inquisition (Nobody expects the spanish inquisiton) or the dead parrot but it's also not a really obscure one. I'm not sure which show it's in but I'll check.
