Subject: BS: Best Monty Python sketch: 'No one... From: Peter T. Date: 24 Mar 05 - 06:56 AM According to Entertainment Weekly, the top sketch of the 20 top sketches on Monty Python is --The Spanish Inquisition! -- No one expected that.... The Dead Parrot is, I think, number 4, which seems a bit low. I would have it as a tie for first. Two others missing in the top 20 are the Cheese buying scene, and my favourite, the race that includes untying the brassieres from the dummies. yours, Peter T. |

Subject: RE: BS: Best Monty Python sketch: 'No one... From: ToulouseCruise Date: 24 Mar 05 - 07:57 AM Four Yorkshiremen, fer sure.... though, I think the most underrated "scene" would be from Life of Brian, where Brian is looking out over the crowd from his window and says, "You are all individuals!" The hundreds in the crowd: "YES! WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS!" One lonely voice: "...I'm not." Ahh... comic genius. Brian (not Cohen) |

Subject: RE: BS: Best Monty Python sketch: 'No one... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 24 Mar 05 - 02:09 PM 'Farty Owls' doesn't count as it is not a Monty Python sketch.... just as anything from 'I'm sorry I'll read that again' wouldn't count, for the same reasons, even though there were more 'Pythons' involved in the writing of ISIRTA than 'Flowery Twats'.

Subject: RE: BS: Best Monty Python sketch: 'No one... From: clueless don Date: 24 Mar 05 - 03:20 PM "patriot1314" mentioned: my favourite was the four Yorkshiremen "we used to dream of living in a shoe box" and others have alluded to this sketch. I thought that I had seen all of the sketches, but this one eludes me. Was it part of the series? or in a concert special? or in a movie? Don |

Subject: RE: BS: Best Monty Python sketch: 'No one... From: gnu Date: 24 Mar 05 - 03:46 PM Of course, the favourite I cited above re lupins is the Roger Moore sketch. I can still recall, twenty some years ago, after a squash tournament, Thai Stick and Monty Python Party, singing all the way back to the dorm, "...robs from the poor, gives to the rich, stupid bitch..." Ahhh, to be young and stupid again. |

Subject: RE: BS: Best Monty Python sketch: 'No one... From: HuwG Date: 25 Mar 05 - 04:30 AM The "Four Yorkshiremen" was never shown as part of the TV series, as far as I remember. I believe it was performed on stage at Drury Lane Theatre, and was recorded as part of the LP "Monty Python live at Drury Lane". Likewise, the "Last Supper" sketch was banned by the BBC on religious grounds and never shown. It was performed as part of the Amnesty International benefit show, "Pleasure at Her Majesty's", and featured Jonathon Lynn as Michaelangelo and John Cleese as the Pope. The Pythons did indeed show some brilliant individual sketches, but in both the TV series and their films ("Monty Python and the Holy Grail", and "Life of Brian"), what made them immortally funny was the insane but coherent continuity between the sketches. ("Meaning of Life" perhaps pushed things artificially a little too far but the musical sketch "Every sperm is sacred" deserves a medal on its own.) |
