Best Monty Python skit or movie segment

[nytemare]

I have to go with the Dead Parrot, a close second would be the animation with the guy having his eyes messed up by the TV, and the wife saying "you know the television is bad for your eyes"

7. The travel agent sketch

The one that starts with the guy coming in and the secretary asking him if he wants a package tour or a blow job. Then they go into the Mr. Smoketoomuch routine then Eric Idle goes into the hilarious and long monologue about package tours and fat German businessmen barging in the queues and frightening the children and bleeding Wopney's Red Barrel and all that and they finally have to cart him off. Brilliant and it always amazes me that he can roll through it so easily, even live.

After that, the Spanish Inquisition.

8. No WAY to choose

but what popped into my mind as a random scene when I read Monty Python was the stoning scene in the Life of Brian hahahaha

[elperromagico]

13. "Nobody is to stone anyone until I blow this whistle!"

15. "I'm NOT the messiah!!"

"but only the messiah denies being the messiah!"

10. one of my favorites from the Holy Grail

King Arthur: I am your king.

Woman: Well I didn't vote for you.

King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.

Woman: Well how'd you become king then?



King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.

Dennis: Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

30. I liked the...

Tobaccanist sketch where the Hungarian goes into a tobaccanist with a bad Hungarian to English translation book and says things like, "My hovercraft is full of eels." while trying to buy tobacco and matches. The tobaccanist takes the book and tries to read a phrase in Hungarian and gets punched. Eventually a police officer comes in, and it plays out like:

Police officer: What's all this then?
Tobaccanist: He punched me!
Hungarian in an accusing tone: Drop your knickers, Sir William, I cannot wait until lunch time!
Police officer (Pins Hungarian's arm behind him to lead him off): RIGHT!
Hungarian: My nipples explode with delight!

Later the publisher of the translation book is put on trial.
