Crowley Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Yeah, I'm a Python nut. To all my fellow Monty Python fans... which members of the troupe are your favourites? What are the most memorable moments (from the films or television show, it's up to you), and how did you discover them? Eric Idle and Michael Palin are my favourites. Eric, due to his songs and the fact that he's the sickest fo the bunch; Michael due to his sense of humour, both among the Pythons and on his various Travel shows. Two words: Spanish Inquisition. I discovered Python from a friend, who kept quoting them, and I kept asking... "Who are THEY?" She finally let me watch "Holy Grail", and I've been hooked ever since. This was at least 4 years ago. Any other takers? :P ~ Kei CharactersKeistera - The Jack of All TradesMama Ursa - The Priestess/SurvivalistErbrynn - The MageErebus Sabre - The Forgetful Warrior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHaiku Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Mmm. I practically have Holy Grail memorized. My favorite moments, in no particular order. 1. The Upper-Class Twit of the Year contest. (And they're coming into their first test: walking in a straight line!) 2. The gangs of old ladies terrorizing people in the streets. 3. The "full frontal nudity" sketches. 4. The fight between King Arthur and the Black Knigget in Holy Grail. (It's just a flesh wound) 5. The Knights Who Say Ni and the shrubbery. 6. And of course, when Sir Robin is rescued from "almost certain temptation." :lol: Probably my favorite Python line. 7. And, finally... THE COMFY CHAIR. Don't know who my favorite member is. Eric Idle or John Cleese. But Terry Gilliam's animation really made the show unique, so it's hard to pass him up. /runs off to watch old monty python episodes on demand Things are sick and twisted from too much sun and Nazis.Sex, meth, and death fetishes, both of them have got these.Guarenteed not to bore ya, Germany or Florida!

goku_nazz Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 haha i remember a skit from flying circus. A bunch of brits were searching through the African jungle when they bumped into a tribe of africans, who made them play a game of cricket against them. So the Africans were bowling with spears... they were going through the batsmans' legs and stuff (LBW, run outs by a spear going through their head etc, all in humour of course :P ), then they needed like 300 runs to win off the last ball, and the english guy hits the stick and it goes in the outfield so he ran. The Africans kept throwing the spear at him and barely missing.. and kept missing...... until the guy made 300 runs and won the game for the brits. Funny skit ^_^, also on holy grail against the black knight "tis but a scratch!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 A perfectly ordinary pet shop. The best sketch ever. Hands down, well and truly. When you see it performed, whether on stage or TV, the interaction between Palin and Cleese is just hilarious. I haven't laughed so much at a sketch in all my life. Oh by the way, did you know John Cleese's real name was John Cheese? :lol: This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korla Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 LIFE OF BRIAN! :) sorry for the quotes, and it really has to be seen, but these are the best parts IMO :D :D [brian is writing graffiti on the palace wall. The Centurion catches him in the act] Centurion: What's this, then? "Romanes eunt domus"? People called Romanes, they go, the house? Brian: It says, "Romans go home. " Centurion: No it doesn't ! What's the latin for "Roman"? Come on, come on ! Brian: Er, "Romanus" ! Centurion: Vocative plural of "Romanus" is? Brian: Er, er, "Romani" ! Centurion: [Writes "Romani" over Brian's graffiti] "Eunt"? What is "eunt"? Conjugate the verb, "to go" ! Brian: Er, "Ire". Er, "eo", "is", "it", "imus", "itis", "eunt". Centurion: So, "eunt" is...? Brian: Third person plural present indicative, "they go". Centurion: But, "Romans, go home" is an order. So you must use...? [He twists Brian's ear] Brian: Aaagh ! The imperative ! Centurion: Which is...? Brian: Aaaagh ! Er, er, "i" ! Centurion: How many Romans? Brian: Aaaaagh ! Plural, plural, er, "ite" ! Centurion: [Writes "ite"] "Domus"? Nominative? "Go home" is motion towards, isn't it? Brian: Dative ! [the Centurion holds a sword to his throat] Brian: Aaagh ! Not the dative, not the dative ! Er, er, accusative, "Domum" ! Centurion: But "Domus" takes the locative, which is...? Brian: Er, "Domum" ! Centurion: [Writes "Domum"] Understand? Now, write it out a hundred times. Brian: Yes sir. Thank you, sir. Hail Caesar, sir. Centurion: Hail Caesar ! And if it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off. Reg: All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us? Attendee: Brought peace? Reg: Oh, peace - shut up! Reg: There is not one of us who would not gladly suffer death to rid this country of the Romans once and for all. Dissenter: Uh, well, one. Reg: Oh, yeah, yeah, there's one. But otherwise, we're solid. Brian: Please, please, please listen! I've got one or two things to say. The Crowd: Tell us! Tell us both of them! Brian: Look, you've got it all wrong! You don't NEED to follow ME, You don't NEED to follow ANYBODY! You've got to think for your selves! You're ALL individuals! The Crowd: Yes! We're all individuals! Brian: You're all different! The Crowd: Yes, we ARE all different! Man in crowd: I'm not... The Crowd: Sch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oy_the_Great Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Aah, they're all so fantasticly hilarious. Hard to choose but from the films: The quest for the Holy Grail: The scene where King Arthur desperately tries to convince the citizens of the 'anarcho-syndicalist commune' that he is the King of England, that they are English and that he was given the right to be the king because of that watery tart who lobbed a scimitar at him :lol: The part where the Knights who say NI! show up, the part where they demand... ANOTHER SHRUBBERY! and where they have to cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... with a herring! Lol, that was hilarious, especially the dramatic music. The moment when this mighty demonic enchanter reveal his name... Tim! cranked me up too, it's those simple jokes, those things you do not expect that make the movie, in fact all of the movies, so great. The part where Galahad is at last seduced by the women in the castle of Anthrax (lol) and where he finally gives in to their wishes when all of a sudden Launcelot hops in and gets him away. Galahad tries to convince him he can take them on single-handed etc. but Launcelot (Cleese, my favourite) thinks it's too perilous and leads them away. Galahad then silently says 'I bet you're gay' and walks away... I like the bunny scene as well, but what was going to happen was kinda predictable. About the life of Brian: I just love the scene where those women with those fake plastic beerds all yell and are eager to knock the poor old skinny man down with their rocks. The supervisor (Cleese again) tries to calm them down but ends up getting stoned (all right, that sounded weird) himself. The scene where Brian gets persued by the horde of fans, falls into this pit where a weird old man has been keeping his mouth shut for 19 years and lands on the man's feet, causing him to shout it out, disrupting his silence is also marvelous. There's a whole lot more of that fantastic stuff but I don't feel the urge to write all good jokes of MP down. I'd still sit here next week ;) Bill Hicks[/url]":dhj2kan9]Since the one thing we can say about fundamental matter is, that it is vibrating. And since all vibrations are theoretically sound, then it is not unreasonable to suggest that the universe is music and should be perceived as such.

Matthius Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 The ever popular monty python and and the quest for the holy grail. but the spam skit was hilarious... I think I might go see the Spamalot play (play of the quest for the holy grail) ... its going to be so cool live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy5389 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Oh man....Monty Python :lol: *points to sig* Obviously, Quest for the Holy Grail is awesome. Fun fact from their collective autobiography: The reason they don't have real horses in 'Holy Grail' is not because they thought it would be funny, but just because it was cheaper and easier! They tried it, decided it worked, and just went with it :lol: My overall favorite, though, is probably John Cleese in 'The Argument.' Number two might be 'Ministry of Silly Walks.'
