Everyone - your favourite scene? Mine was :

I think that we need to put on a Pink Floyd/Monty Python star party and all wear togas!
Absolutely Ric
No one since has delivered the
utterly absurd in such a way. A lot of it has to do with the cackling falsetto voices they put on for womens roles - especially Terry Jones. LOL! Way too funny. He was so "unwomanly".
I also like the fact that they roped in all sorts of cameos too for Life of Brian - like Spike Milligan as "Spike" and even George Harrison as "Mr. Papadopolous" - uncredited though he was.
I still enjoy Michael Palin to this day - his adventure travels are fantastic.
One other thing that I admired about the Python crew was the way they played multiple roles - another trade mark.
