Top 20 Funniest Monty Python Sketches 

Who's your favourite member of the gang? Monty Python: Where Are They Now? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C0Rp8CbZYlU.html

I am truly grateful that Watchmojo uk is here to explain the mechanics of a joke over the joke itself- otherwise I would have never known that it was funny. Imagine how boring it would have been if they just ran the clips of genuinely funny people. Thanks guys

The evil rabbit with the holy grenade in my opinion is Hilarious and deserves a spot on this list.

One my favs is when King Arthur confronts some peasants and says he is king because the Lady of the Lake gave him the sword Excalibur. Unimpressed, they tell him, "You can't be the king just because some watery tart threw a sword at you!"

Monty Python will never get old and stale! The comedy ages like the finest wine!

The killer rabbit and the bridge of death both need to be in there

King Arthur's debate on his right to rule with Dennis the Anarcho-syndicalist in Monty Python and the Holy Grail is classic. Dennis's multiple off color descriptions of the Lady of the Lake have me rolling every time.😂😂😂

Glad you included THE ARGUMENT CLINIC, it's one of my favorites. The bit with Graham and Mike in the abuse room was great, but the best part for me was when Mike says to John I HAD ENOUGH OF THIS and John says NO YOU HAVEN'T and Mike says OH SHUT UP !!!!! It's silly stuff like this that cracks me up... Much thanks for the post...

They're all great, but one of my favourites is 'Romans go home' written in Latin, incorrectly, by Chapman and John cheese correcting him. 😅😂😅😂 Gets me every time! 👍

When I retired as an opera chorister, my last performance was in the opera La Boheme. While sitting in the house during a rehearsal , I noticed the English translation of the Italian text projected on the proscenium arch above the stage. One of the singers was singing about having killed a parrot. I had to summon every ounce of self-control to keep from shouting out, "He's not dead, he's just pining for the fjords.".

"You're not the Messiah!...You're a very naughty boy!" my Mum once said to me, out of the blue!

The Cheese Shop has to be included. That is comedy gold!

The evil bunny always gets me.

These all are brilliant. Ageless, from back in a time, when you didn't need to swear to get a laugh

I think the death scene in the meaning of life is hilarious. The way the American asks "What line of work of work are you in death"? 😂😂😂😂

2:39 when we're stuffed with a meal I say to my wife "not even a waffer thin mint?" lol

I knew that the Dead Parrot sketch was gonna be number 1

Missing “you are all individuals…I am not”, cracks me up every time

I loved the Pythons slapping each other with fish. These people were Gods in their time. 😊

I love the scene from Holy Grail where the King is trying to order two soldiers to guard his son 😂

Counting down the funniest Python sketches = wonderful idea Explaining each sketch = nothing could be less Python and less funny

My favourite sketch is "Crunchy Frog". I nearly died of laughter when I saw it the first time. 🤣

One of the more bizarre, but still treasured by me... "Confuse-a-cat Ltd."

I want Bright side of life played at my funeral or I'm not turning up.

Here is my list: 20: „Romanus eunt domus“ from the life of Brian 19: The ex-leper from the life of Brian 18: „Every sperm is sacred“ from the meaning of life 17: „Spam“ from Monty Python’s flying circus 16: The competition for the upper class twit of the year from Monty Python’s flying circus 15: The pac man pram from Monty Pythons flying circus 14: Hells Grannies from Monty Python’s flying circus 13: The Trojan cow from Monty Python and the holy grail 12: The black knight from Monty Python and the holy grail 11: The three questions at the bridge from Monty Python and the holy grail 10: “Always look on the bright side of life “ from the life of Brian 9: The league against chartered accountancy from Monty Python’s flying circus 8: The lumberjack song from Monty Python’s flying circus 7: “Biggus Dickus” from the life of Brian 6: Stan/Loretta” from the life of Brian 5: The ministry of silly walks from Monty Python’s flying circus 4: The stoning from the life of Brian 3: Brian’s speech to his followers from the life of Brian 2: The killer joke from Monty Python’s flying circus 1: The dead parrot from Monty Python’s flying circus Honorable mentions: The Intro to Monty Python and the holy grail The salmon mousse from the meaning of life Bicycle repair man from Monty Python’s flying circus The suicide of the Judean Peoples’ front from the life of Brian The killer rabbit from Monty Python and the holy grail My favourite Python is John Cleese. He always does the most absurd things with an air of perfect seriousness.

Thanks for taking me back through these sketches. It triggered a plethora of memories from the 70s!

The actors playing Pilate's guards were told they wouldn't be paid if they laughed. Which is why their reactions are so realistic.

My favorite is the song from the movie, Every sperm is sacred. Especially the children singing it.

Two old ladies on a park bench. "What is that?" "It's a piston engine." "Well how do you cook it?"

Palin as pontius pilot.....is comedic genius .😂😂😂😂

4 Yorkshiremen was written by the entire cast of "At Last the 1948 Show" - including Tim Brooke-Taylor and Marty Feldman.

Silly Job interview, fish slapping dance😂

"Camelot" (the song) from "The Holy Grail" also from the same movie "There's lots of lovely filth down here Dennis" and of course "We've found a Witch, can we burn her?" ............. now I've got to go and watch the whole movie again, thanks a lot.

Too bad the "fish slapping dance" wasn't included. It was hilarious.

Penguin on the back of the TV is my favourite 😂

You forgot the only man in a world of superheroes, who can save everyone, Bicycle Repair Man.

Great sketches, did not need to be told what I am seeing and hearing thanks.

Number 20 is severely underrated. *_Saturday Night Live_* would later do a similar sketch about _The Walk, Talk, and Act Like A Sissy Olympics_ , and it was equally hilarious.

They're all great but you failed to include the brilliant 'Galaxy Song'.

Ethel the Frog with the Pirahna Brothers is my favorite.

Love also "the job interview", "the warriors ho say NI", "The bridge of death", "the enchanter", "cheese shop", "selling matresses", "help I'm being repressed", "bring out your death", "we found a witch", "may we leave", "the kilker rabbit", and so many other scketches, Monty Pythons are memorable.

I had totally forgotten the class Twit of the Year and the Grannies, thanks for the reminder; and what about those angry turn left signs? Totally "out there"! LOL The ministry of silly walks is one of my favorites. All this with straight faces, kudos. I think you did pick good ones, yet there are so many! Thanks

The royal society for putting things on top of other things!

I saw Python live in Regina Sask. in 1973 on their And Now For Something Completely Different Tour. The 'Dead Parrot Sketch' was pure gold.

Thank you for this program. We will never again see this level of raw true comedy genius. Be well.

British humor are the finest in the world. I grew up eith these guys, thanks to my older brother.

I'm really shocked that the Every Sperm is Sacred musical skit didn't make #1.

I think the argument clinic was definitely one of their finest skits...I loved many of them.. I couldn't wait to watch their shows. i 've seen most of their movies multiple times... but "The Holy Grail".. is my favorite movie of theirs...

I have to agree with the others, I do love the KILLER RABBIT sketch! But I also really loved the Argument Clinic! I’ve even used that technique! All those bits were great!

Yes, those were great. And I still enjoy them just as much now as I did 40 years ago. Thanks

The Fish Slapping Dance is my Fave

The Spanish Inquisition is at the top of my favorites list! The grandmas skit slays me everytime!

The Black Knight sketch STILL makes me crack up every time I see it! 🍸

The cheese shop is funnier than the lumberjack song. I’m really surprised that song made the top 20

My favourite sketch is "The Undertaker." Cleese and Chapman hit an all-time low in bad taste with that one. Absolutely hilarious. 🤣

This parrot is no more . It has gone to meet its Maker.

Monty Python never gets old. I always get a laugh, no matter what!

A great list and there are so many that could have been chosen but The Cheese Shop is definitely Top 20. I also love the the continuation of the Judea line where Stan wants to be called Loretta and have babies and the Gas Cooker…

Protection racket on the British army was my favourite.

The "Run Away!" bit in Holy Grail always had me rolling in laughter.

What? No Cheese Shop sketch. This is an outrage!

I love Monty Python! Most of my sense of humor comes from the Pythoners. Hey WatchMojoUK, you should do another Python list but do Gilliam's cartoons. They're brilliant! I'd vote for Brian Islam and Brucey as the Number One Cartoon.

So funny can’t stop laughing and it’s just the clips simply the best

I always cracked up when one of them would break into a skit and be like, Right! Stop that! 😂 I still use that. 😁

No compilation of Python sketches is complete without "bicycle repair man"!

"That's no ordinary Rabbit!" the ferocious Rabbit in the cave needed to be on this list.

Why not the one at the Hollywood bowl. American beer is like sex in a canoe. It’s fucking close to water

"Penguin on the Telly" from Flying Circus - classic

Always found the Fish Slapping Dance to be hysterical no matter how many times I watched it.

12:45 And everyone had a sense of humor.

The one you didn't mention: The Vorpal Bunny!

We have rat tarts, rat pudding and strawberry tarts...with a little bit of rat in it.

Wasn't expecting number 6!

Often overlooked but genius none the less, The Argument Clinic.

Thanks for this list and many funny moments/sketches I'm sure if I rewatch some of Monty Pythons Flying Circus episodes, some or even lots will pop up that should have made the list (Bicycle repair man?), but the one that comes to mind is in The life of Brian when he has escaped from the Romans and they are chasing him while running up a tower, he falls... into a space ship with aliens that just happens to fly by, they have a rough fly through space, get shot at (by other alien space ships?) and finally he falls out at the exact same place (so he has to run from the Romans again and immediately).

Fish slap dance: completely out of the box, with a surprising end

With the Dead Parrot Sketch, it was obvious that someone in the writing crew had noticed the MANY euphimisms for "He's dead." --Bob Bailey in Maine, USA

What about the Holy handgrenade, or the questions to cross the bridge (African or European), or how to prove they are witches (what floats.... A duck)

I was pretty sure that the Dead Parrot sketch was going to be number one.

Having been an avid Python fan since their first show, I really enjoyed this compilation.

Any/all of the first few sketches in Meaning of Life. Live Birth, Medical Experiments/‘Every Sperm is Sacred’, Graham & Eric’s EPIC performance in the ‘Protestant condoms’ skit. “And Protestantism doesn’t stop with the simple condom, oh no, I can wear French Ticklers if I want… Black Mambos, Crocodile Ribs.” Literally watched at least 100 times and it is still just as funny today, or even funnier than the first time. These 6 men set the bar so high that it could never be reached again, assembling a cast like that is a once in history type of thing. Comedic perfection in no uncertain terms. As long as you get it.

This period of my life, 1969-1974, was my high school years & my friends & I loved them all & would go about repeating the sketches, especially the songs! Thank you for bringing them back!

I grew up watching Monty Python's Flying Circus in Boston, on PBS channel WSBK. during the 70's. Because of that, my parents assumed that it was perfectly harmless, and because it was an educational channel, wanted no part of viewing it. Thus, we boys got to see Carol Cleveland's bare breasts on local TV, in a Mr. Pither sketch. What the P's never knew about us!

What does my email mostly consist of? Spam, spam, spam, spam...

My favorite skit is from The Holy Grail "bring out the dead". "But I ain't dead".

Cheese shop, bicycle repairman, fish slapping dance ,so many others . Best show ever. Well,maybe except SCTV .

"We used to dream of a hole in the ground!"

The Bigus Dickus Sketch is on of my favourites .

failing to drink on cup of coffee through this

compiling this video.... "so john cleese then?" 😂

I love the lifeboat cannibals

The architect sketch should definately be in the top ten. All they wanted was a simple block of flats - not an abattoir!

I cut my hand while unjamming a pallet on my line at the plant. The supervisor asked if I needed to go to the ER and I said “tis but a flesh wound”. He laughed as I hit the first aid kit for a bandaid. He watched Monty python too.

I have to believe that Monty Python's humor will be enjoyed as long as humans are here. I know I'll enjoy it as long as I'm around!

Personally, I love everything that the team did. Life of Brian is my favourite movie. xx

The fish slap dance was hilarious.

"It's just a flash wound" gets me every time!

Black Knight from Holy Grail is by far one of my favorites - the look on Graham Chapman's face when he says "What are you going to do, bleed on me" kills me every time.

What a happy surprise to start my morning! You know, there's an actual skit of "Four Yorkshiremen" with only Pythons in it. The one shown here has Marty Feldman and Tim Brooke-Taylor, neither of them Pythons.

The best comedy troop ever, one of the greatest sketches was the life of an English broker from breakfast to the office, my GF at the time totally lost it over the office scene,. Totally classic comedy we will never see again. 😂
