Whether you're a fan of the classic BBC television series "Monty Python's Flying Circus" and/or their films 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail,' 'The Life of Brian,' 'The Meaning of Life,' et al or even their individual careers after Python, who do you like best? And whether you choose Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones or Michael Palin, why do you think your choice is best?\n\nFor the record, I always liked Michael Palin and John Cleese the best, both for their work within and without Python. Palin co-wrote (with Jones) and starred in a relatively unknown (in the States) but hilariously funny series called "Ripping Yarns" and later went on to do those wonderful BBC travel series. Cleese gave us the brilliant "Fawlty Towers" series and 'A Fish Called Wanda,' among other projects. If I had to choose, I'd pick Michael Palin as my favourite Python. How about you?

Eric Idle is my favorite, but not because of his participation in the show, but because of personal reasons:\n\nI lived in London when I was in highschool, and my best friend's family rented Eric Idle's house (I think he lived in LA or something). It was furnished with his all of his stuff. It was a very nice house, but the more time I spent there, the WEIRDER I realized it was. For instance, as you walk up the stairs (4 stories) on each landing there was a HUGE portrait. One of a woman holding a baby, a knight on a horse, a prince...All of them were portraits of him. Or at least his face, and the eyes followed you everywhere you went.\n\nThen his bedroom had two tiny windows, and padded walls. They had this fabric wall paper covering them. The pattern on the walls was a tree with little gnomes gathering birds...this covered the walls, the ceiling, the bed linens, the curtains....it felt like a crazy person's room. \n\nSo even though I don't know him, whenever I see him on TV, I think about his house and how strange and funny it was, so it makes me think how strange and funny HE is...

Happy gilmore, the waterboy and Billy Madison are in a tie with me.  Yeah the Bob Barker part was hilarious!!! Also, on the waterboy when the professor who looks like Colonel Sanders gets hit with the baseball and when everybody pees their pants on Billy Madison.  Thanks for both of those best answers.  That was pretty cool of you!! : )

You're all swines - Robin Williams is one of the funniest, and indeed cleverest (not sure that's a real word, but it will do) guys alive.\n\nUnfortunately, we won't get that film in the UK until I am old and haggard.

There are a few Monty Python movies in this house.  Monty Python's Holy Grail is highly quotable.

Yes, Oscar The Grouch is awesome. My favorite was Cookie Monster. I could not stand Big Bird. It's funny...in retrospect, when I was watching it in the 70's I remember (in my 6 year old mind) thinking Big Bird is lame...he's not even a real bird, and he's stupid to boot!\nHowever, I seemed to think a blue furry monster with no real verbal skills who lived on cookies that kept falling out of his mouth was completely logical.

I love every film he does! The man is pure GENIUS and any script that comes his way he seems to put his own magic into while telling it on the screen! My fav. two movies he did was the Nightmare Before Christmas, and Big Fish--although I'd probably edge out Big Fish as my favorite!

I like a lot of comedians, so I have a hard time choosing just one.  Carrington, Foxworthy, George Carlin, Denis Leary... Those are the ones I listen to the most.  And I just rediscovered the joys of watching Benny Hill on cable a few weeks ago.

Well I'm personally very against political correctness at the level it has spiralled to. We must distinguish between statements made in humour, and statements made in order to offend. But I also cringe when I think that some people actually find some of the comedian's material that exploits others disability, sexuality etc funny. Whats going on? A little class is needed. And where do we find it? Bill Bailey. Ironic, when you look at him.

I loved that movie...I watched it a million time and it's still funny everytime...M'excusie..=)  If you liked that movie have you seen Roadtrip? That move was pretty funny too. It has Stiffler from American pie in it. But my favorite part from Eurotrip is definatley the train part. But the robot part was pretty funny...error..error. Also the pope part was funny too...Hell the whole movie was great.

ummmm....I would definately not pick Tom Cruise. He is totally wierd...scientology? I don't get him. He has problems.  But I don't know if I would pick Richard Gere either.  He seems really nice, but he's kinda old for me (I'm 19). If he was younger he would be more my type than Tom Cruise...definately.

I love Ricky Gervais.  The whole concept of The Office from someone that had never written or starred in a sitcom before is just brilliant.  It was such a great show in Britain, and I think Americanising it was a good move.  If there is a good concept waiting to be adapted, why not use it!!  If you like Ricky Gervais his talent does not stop there, he writes kids books and does stand up too, he's hilarious!

I like Lou and Andy.(yeah I know). he gets away with an AWFUL lot eh?..and my wife likes a one-off character Boris the babysitter (comrade Stalin salutes you!) he's really creepy, It's what makes him funny...Oh and don't forget Daffyd (the only gay in the village) Thomas!!! \n\ncould do without the vomiting and pissing women
