What are your favourite Monty Python Sketches or Songs?
If you could be more original by NOT listing the classics, i.e. Lumberjack or Dead Parrot that would be good.
My favourites have to be the Bruces sketch and their philosophy song, Pengium on the television, and Eric the ‘alf a bee.

“Shut up! Shut up, you American.
You always talk, you Americans. You talk and you talk and say ‘let me tell you something’ and ‘I just wanna say this’. Well, you’re dead now, so shut up!”
DEBBIE:
Can I ask you a question?
GRIM REAPER:
What?
DEBBIE:
How can we all have died at the same time?
[silence]
GRIM REAPER:
The salmon mousse.
GEOFFREY:
Darling, you didn’t use canned salmon, did you?
ANGELA:
I’m most dreadfully embarrassed.

My favourite is ‘Julius Caesar’ on an Aldis Lamp
(not to mention ‘Gunfight at the OK Corral’ in Morse code and the Semaphore version of ‘Wuthering Heights’ ! )

Song wise for some strange reason the Penis Song in the Meaning of Life and Eric the Half a Bee
Sketch wise from the video And now for something completely different the drill “right stop that it’s silly and a little bit suspect” and Conrad Poohs and his dancing teeth.

Anyone heard the Tale of the Piranha Brothers, Doug and Dinsdale?
“Well one day I was at home threatening the kids when I looks out through the hole in the wall and sees this tank pull up and out gets one of Dinsdale’s
boys, so he comes in nice and friendly and says Dinsdale wants to have a word with me, so he chains me to the back of the tank and takes me for a scrape round to Dinsdale’s place and Dinsdale’s there in the conversation pit with Doug and Charles Paisley, the baby crusher, and two film producers and a man they called ‘Kierkegaard’, who just sat there biting the heads of whippets and Dinsdale says ‘I hear you’ve been a naughty boy Clement’ and he splits me nostrils open and saws me leg off and pulls me liver out and I tell him my name’s not Clement and then…he loses his temper and nails me head to the floor.”

The fish slapping dance is one huge favourite of mine.
Other than that I have some favourite lines, especially those of Michael Palin’s; for example “Yesterday, (forgot the name) scored all six goals in last nights 3-0 victory against Sheffield Wednesday. Mr (name) is in our Durham studios, which is a bit of a pity as we’re all down here in London”.
I think I have to watch those episodes again to find out exactly what he said…

He’s not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty boy…
That works, I smiled just reading it.
Blessed are the cheesemakers.
