"Yes! We're all different" followed by a single "I'm not" is absolutely the best line ever. So simple, so clever ♥

I once heard that the guards in the Biggus Dickus scene were simply told, "Don't laugh."

Monty Python and the Holy Grail was, and still is, one of my favorite comedies. One of my favorite set of lines is when Cleese says "She turned me into a newt..." and I forget the actor's name "A newt?!" and Cleese's comeback line of "I got better." still cracks me up years later.

Python simply made the world a better place.

The Biggus Dickus scene is gold. But the father in Grail yelling “I feel happy!” before being clubbed also makes me laugh loud.

All the selected bits are great, but I saw Life of Brian in the theater with a couple buddies. The Biggus Dickus scene was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Between the centurions trying not to laugh, Palin's egging them on, the audience laughing, we were laughing until our ribs hurt, and slouched so low in our seats we were nearly on the sticky floor. Took a while to recover. God bless the Pythons.

Oh my word, the "I'm not" line from Life of Brian is one of my favourite lines from the film!

The delivery of the line "'Cause they're made of... wood?" was one of my favorite Python moments. It's like a little boy in school struggling to answer a question from the instructor, afraid of being laughed at by classmates or belittled by the instructor. Thanks for pointing out Eric trying to keep a straight face, I'd never noticed that. Glad he was able to keep it together so they could use that take.

Monty Python was on when I first moved out of my parents house. A bunch of us would gather around and enjoy the skits and sometimes recreating them. They are responsible for my development of a dry and satiric humor in my formative years. Monty Python has never and will never be replaced.

I wish you'd STOP TALKING over the majority of the sketches ...... 😝

It would be impossible to select the "best" Python. All of them had incredible deliveries as comedic actors. Their writing styles varied greatly but they were all essential ingredients into the Monty Python vibe. MP's comedy legacy continues to be more priceless with each passing year. Carry on!

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen these sketches and movies and between Cleese and Palin’s incredible talent and delivery I still die laughing.

Even just watching these short clips I could not stop cracking up during the Biggus Dickus scene

Also, in the TV (yes, TV!) sketch where Michael Palin's Mr. Attila the Hun goes to a police office, Terry Jones is clearly having problems with his fake mustache, and then, mid-sketch, just rips it off, throws it in his hat, and continues on. Perfectly Python. And in the WWI sketch, where John Cleese overdramatically plays a chaplain who's lost both arms, when he offers to sacrifice himself, saying "I'm...not a complete man anymore", Graham's perfect beat before saying "You've lost both your arms as well" cracks Cleese up too perfectly to be scripted.

I remember watching Monty Python on PBS in the 70’s. For some reason, my parents thought this was a great show to children who were under 10. And I bless them for it!

"Must be a King" is my favorite line from Holy Grail 🤣

Even after all these years Monty Python is still funny

Love the Biggus Dickus scene.

I've heard somewhere that in the Holy Grail the reason why Cleese pauses before saying Tim the Enchanter's name is that originally the character had a longer, sillier name but he kept on forgetting so he just ad-libbed the name "Tim".
