Whose your favorite Python?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

Me it's Michael Palin

[skygazer]

1. I find it nearly impossible to choose a favorite

I love Michael Palin's strange voices and facial expressions - they're brilliant.
But I also love Graham Chapman's completely deadpan delivery
and Eric Idle's silly songs
and there's not much funnier than Terry Jones dressed as a woman
and John Cleese is such a riot as a strait-laced businessman
and Gilliam's animations always cracked me up.

Sorry, no favorite. But I may have to go watch a few episodes now.

2. That's easy! Monty!

:bounce:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

4. I thought you were gonna say "trouser"

[youthere]

3. I love them all..

but if I MUST choose I'll say John Cleese.

5. Carol Cleveland

She never got her due on that show. Much underappreciated.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

6. Oh baby - do you like her for the reasons I do?

[terrya]

10. Well, not exactly.

:-)

What asthmaticeog said. She was wonderful in the sketches she was in.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

12. agreed

:hi:

[asthmaticeog]

7. Good one!

Yeah, she was way underrated. I can't imagine a Python in drag replacing her in any of the sketches she was in, she was really indispensable.

[Cobalt-60]

25. She was hot stuff then. She's still working now

[Burma Jones]

8. I can't think of a Favorite

When I think it's Cleese, I remember Graham Chapman as Mrs Conclusion.

When I think it's Chapman, I remember Michael Palin as the Murderous Barber that longs to be a Transvestite Lumberjack

When I think it's Palin, I remember Eric Idle going Nudge Nudge

When I think it's Idle, I remember Terry Jones as Mr. Git or any of the middle aged ladies he portrayed

When I think it's Jones, I remember Conrad Poohs and his dancing teeth courtesy of Terry Gilliam

But then, I will always cherish the sight of John Cleese banging a Dead Parrot on a counter and screaming in its ear, or his wonderful line in the Fish License sketch, "It's people like you what cause unrest."

9. Love 'em all...BUT...this scene between Eric Idle and Graham Chapman is PRICELESS...

....as is the entire film The Meaning of Life...my all time favorite Python! :rofl:



Mr Blackitt: Look at them, bloody Catholics. Filling the bloody
world up with bloody people they can't afford to bloody feed.

Mrs Blackitt: What are we dear?

Mr Blackitt: Protestant, and fiercely proud of it...

Mrs Blackitt: Why do they have so many children...?

Mr Blackitt: Because every time they have sexual intercourse they
have to have a baby.

Mrs Blackitt: But it's the same with us, Harry.

Mr Blackitt: What d'you mean...?

Mrs Blackitt: Well I mean we've got two children and we've had
sexual intercourse twice.

Mr Blackitt: That's not the point... We *could* have it any time we
wanted.

Mrs Blackitt: Really?

Mr Blackitt: Oh yes. And, what's more, because we don't believe in
all that Papist claptrap we can take precautions.

Mrs Blackitt: What, you mean lock the door...?

Mr Blackitt: No no, I mean, because we are members of the
Protestant Reformed Church which successfully challenged the
autocratic power of the Papacy in the mid-sixteenth century,
we can wear little rubber devices to prevent issue.

Mrs Blackitt: What do you mean?

Mr Blackitt: I could, if I wanted, have sexual intercourse with
you...

Mrs Blackitt: Oh, yes... Harry...

Mr Blackitt: And by wearing a rubber sheath over my old feller I
could ensure that when I came off... you would not be
impregnated.

Mrs Blackitt: Ooh!

Mr Blackitt: That's what being a Protestant's all about. That's
why it's the church for me. That's why it's the church for
anyone who respects the individual and the individual's right
to decide for him or herself. When Martin Luther nailed his
protest up to the church door in 1517, he may not have
realised the full significance of what he was doing. But four
hundred years later, thanks to him, my dear, I can wear
whatever I want on my John Thomas. And Protestantism doesn't
stop at the simple condom. Oh no! I can wear French Ticklers
if I want.

Mrs Blackitt: You what?

Mr Blackitt: French Ticklers... Black Mambos... Crocodile Ribs...
Sheaths that are designed not only to protect but also to
enhance the stimulation of sexual congress...

Mrs Blackitt: Have you got one?

Mr Blackitt: Have I got one? Well no... But I can go down the road
any time I want and walk into Harry's and hold my head up
high, and say in a loud steady voice: 'Harry I want you to
sell me a *condom*. In fact today I think I'll have a French
Tickler, for I am a Protestant...'

Mrs Blackitt: Well why don't you?

Mr Blackitt: But they... pouring past the house.]... they cannot. Because their church
never made the great leap out of the Middle Ages, and the
domination of alien episcopal supremacy!

But despite the efforts of Protestants to promote the idea of sex
for pleasure, children continued to multiply everywhere.
