Favorite Monty Python Performer

[puglover]

So who's the best?

I personally enjoy Michael Palin's performances best.
Lead Inquisitor in "The Spanish Inquistion" sketches
Himmler in "Mr. Hilter"

 

[Stormrage]

In this order:

1.John Cleese,
2.Graham Chapman,
3.Eric Idle,
4.Michael Palin,
5.Carol Cleveland
6.Terry Jones,
7.Terry Gilliam.

 

[Phlegmak]

My vote goes for: All of them.

[Chazumi]

I don't know their names but from my limited experience (sorry I'm not a zit infested, hormone ravaged college freshman) the son and father from Monty Python's Holy Grail. You know, the gay looking son and the father who wears fur who wants him to marry to get more land?

Son: But father! All I want to do is .... sing!!! (song breaks out)

Father: Nope! No No, that's enough of that! (discusses watching him to the gaurds who....eventually figure it out)

Son: (quickly scribbles a note and shoots it with an arrow then grins at the gaurds like they are ******ed (which they are)).

a bit later...

Son: "I'm coming sir lancelot!!" as he scales down the wall.

Father: Cuts the rope,

Son: Woooooo! *thud*
a bit later...

Son who survived: Father, I'm alive! Sir lancelot saved me! He makes me so happy! I just want to......sing!..... (whole court starts singing)

Graham Chapman is my favorite, though John Cleese can get me roaring, especially when he does his Hitler impression (on both Flying Circus and Fawlty Towers). Not to play down the rest of them, they're all absolutely brilliant.

 

[Aemilius]

John Cleese is my absolute favourite.

 

[Serutan]

It would be easier to state my least favorite : Terry Jones. Not that I thought he was
bad, just not as good as the others.

 

[Sofista]

Michael Palin.

The dead parrot close second

 

[scherbchen]

Graham Chapman. Allthough his untimely death made it easy to idolize him I stand by that choice.

 

[Civfan333]

All of them equally!

 

[Ultima Dragoon]

John Cleese is epic. Especially anything on Fawlty Towers.
