If such a decision is even possible, what is the single greatest Monty Python sketch?

[toh6wy]

Okay, this is like a series of sketches, but I love the merchant banker, pantomime horse, and nature documentary sequence. Unfortunately I can't find any of it on Youtube.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Another good one is the one with the RAF pilots during the Battle of Britain who can't understand each other's aviator slang.

EDIT: 'ere we go! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rKYL0tW-Ek

 

[Love]

The dirty fork

 

[Ali Zaybak]

Don't forget the Court Martial! It's in the same episode as the RAF pilots bantering.
"Anything goes in... anything goes out..."

 

[Hitti-Litti]

^^

"Trout, bananas, old pajamas
[I can't remember the rest]!"

 

[Taliesin]

"Mutton, beef, and trout!"

The RAF banter is among my favourites, but I should speak up for "Woody and Tinny Words".

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

The Architect Sketch ("Rotating knives, yes") and the "Tungsten Carbide Drills!?" one, whatever it was called.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

I forgot about that one. The flashing SATIRE pretty much says it all.

 

[Red Door]

I can only find this one on YouTube live (it's not as good), but:

Communist Quz

"Who won the English football cup in 1949?"

 

[warpus]

There are just sooo many good Flying Circus skits.

Dammit.. I need to get the whole series on DVD and rewatch it all

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I like em all, but I picked the Argument Clinic

Another one to add to the fun:

Travel Agency

Well, you better cut down a little

 

[angeleyes]

The one with those shipwrecked persons who start talking about who eats who...

 

[punkbass2000]

I also greatly enjoy the Semprini sketch

 

[IglooDame]

One for "how not to be seen" - I saw it when I was a wee tyke, and when I happened to catch it again a couple years ago, it was exactly as I remembered.

 

[Love]

yeah, its really funny

 

[Tank_Guy#3]

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

I think I remember "How not to be seen". I think there was one with 2 hunters that used missiles and machine guns to kill insects, I could've swore that there was, but I can never seem to remember the name.

Yeah, I know which one you mean. "Nothing more dangerous than a cornered mosquito."
