From series 2, i think, of the flying circus. Don't know why but i find it hilarious:

G. Chapman: "Yes, my named is spelled Raymond Luxury Yatcht, but it's pronounced Throat-Wobbler Mangrove"

Also the School of Ovine Aviation. Pidgin French at its very best.

Shephrd: Exactly. It's my belief that these sheep are laborin' under
the misapprehension that they're birds. Observe their be'avior.
Take for a start the sheeps' tendency to 'op about the field
on their 'ind legs. Now witness their attmpts to fly from
tree to tree. Notice that they do not so much fly as...plummet.

<Baaa baaa... flap flap flap ... whoosh ... thud.>


The Hungarian phrasebook sketch is another among my favorites, but, I don't think it would be alowed in here!

 

[imoldfashioned]

Too many to name but off the top of my head:

Episode 17 is fabulous;

The Architect Sketch, How to Stop Being a Mason, The skit with Terry Jones in drag getting his poet checked by Michael Palin who starts doing a weather report.

Poets are both clean and warm
And most are far above the norm
Whether here, or on the roam
Have a poet in every home.


Mister Neutron also cracks me up, as do the Gumbys. Worst Family in Britain and the COE Priests knocking people off the sidewalks. The Fish Slapping Dance.

The whole of The Life of Brian is just brilliant--one of my favorite films.

Thinking it over, I remembered about the Ministry of Silly Walks. Now there were no really funny quotes othere then how much money they got for their ministry in comparison to defense, but the sight gags were hilarious. His secretary bringing in the coffee with a Silly Walk left the cups empty and she spilled some on Cleese as well.
I always wondered if the people on the sidewalks were in on the joke because they just kept walking and ignored him. I doubt walking like that would even get ignored in San Franfreako.
Cleese became tired of doing the Silly Walk character and declined to do it as much as he could. I doubt he would be limber enough now.
Where do I get a grant to develop my silly walk? lol

I forgot to mention the "vintage clothes" in the silly walk film he shows. Is the guy in white wearing a Palm Beach?

There really are too many to count.

Some of my favorites are:

"I say, anyone for tennis?" (Directed by Sam Peckinpah)

"Cheddar?"
"Not much call for it around these parts, I'm afraid."
"But Cheddar is the single most popular cheese in the world!"
"Not around here it isn't."

"My hovercraft is full of eels!"

The Upper-class Twit of the Year.

Mr. Hilter: "..no, not much fun in Stalingrad."

Bicycle Repair Man

Confuse-a-Cat

"Look! There's a penguin on the telly!"

The Dirty Vicar Sketch

"I wish to report a burglary."
"Sorry, sir you'll have to say that in a higher register."

The Argument Sketch

The Most Awful Family in Britain: "I've run out of beans!"


...and that doesn't even include any of the movies.

Sounds like something lacking expletives to me. Perfectly pedestrian when compared to what you see on Tv and in movies today.

fftopic:

I have started watching for the 'jumped the leviathan' point in threads on this forum.

It seems inevitable that someone, regardless of the topic, brings the discussion around to waxing poetically for those bygone days of yore when everything was much, much better.

Golly, you'd think this forum was full of a bunch a backward-looking, Luddite curmudgeons!

/tongue in cheek

Wasn't there a script about high class nit wits? I can't seem to find it!

 

[Mr. Sable]

Favourite Python quote: "It's only a model."

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Palin (and Harry Shearer) in 2006:

What a swell couple of joes!

Upper Class Twit of the Year, I believe it was.

Hey! I resemble that remark but it was much better yesterday.
