I'm not sure how long it will take before a policeman steps in and shuts this thread down but until then let the absurdity, nonsense and silliness related to all things Monty Python commence!
What is your favorite Monty Python sketch/movie and why?
For me my favorite movie of theirs is Monty Python and the Holy Grail because it is the very first thing that got me into Monty Python in the first place. There are so many great scenes and every member does a wonderful job in the many roles they portray. Every time I view this movie I concentrate on one particular member and focus on what they are doing in every single scene they are involved in and every time I always pick up new things.
There's also the small things I like, for example in the scene when the townspeople have the 'witch' and Sir Bedevere is asking them questions there's a part where Eric Idle almost cracks up laughing so in order to stop himself he bites down onto the top of the scythe he's holding. That kind of thing in comedies always makes me laugh - the actor struggles to stop from laughing in the scene.
Monty Python also fits my sense of humor perfectly. I love how absurd things can get.
One of my favorite sketches is the Argument Clinic. I love the performances from the guys in this. Graham Chapman cracks me up as the guy who hurls verbal abuse at Michael Palin's character, Eric Idle has the same effect on me when he starts complaining and the back and forth between Michael and John is wonderful. The icing on the cake for me is when Terry Jones hits Michael over the head with the hammer and the sketch ends with the policemen entering one after another.
