Entertainment Weekly has come out with a list of their 20 favorite Monty Python sketches.
I'm now compelled to tell you what I thought they missed. In no particular order these are:
- The Most Disgusting Family in Britain Contest Winners - silly, disgusting, and loaded with subtle touches for the really observant
- Working-Class Playright - a double fish out of water sketch, where the business attired prodigal son returns home from his job in the mines
- String - a piece from their "Contractual Obligation" album with Cleese as a hyper advertising executive from the firm of Mousebat, Follicle, Goosecreature, Ampersand, Sprong, Wapcaplet, Looseliver, Vendetta, and Prang
- Bookshop - a bizarre and clever piece from "Contractual Obligation" that actually reads well online - "Do you have Grate Expectations, by Edmund Wells?"
- Mr. Hilter - Hilter, Mr. Bimmler, and their friend Rob Vibbentrop plot world domination and a day hike from a seaside resort
- Hungarian Phrase Book - a silly piece about a bad phrase translation book
- Penguin on the Telly - this is a favorite of many people that I was shocked was not on the list.
- End/Middle/Beginning - a difficult to digest but clever and skilled interview piece with 3 men who can only say the end, the middle, or the beginning of words
- Travel Agency - Eric Idle monologues about his bad travel experiences like "...Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup, the first item on the menu of International Cuisine..."
- Wonderful World of Sound - a clever audio piece from their "Previous" album about a starcrossed radio show featuring amplification of tiny sounds
- Short Blues - from "Live at the Hollywood Bowl", sidekick Neil Innes' best song: "I've suffered for my music ... now it's your turn".
- The Oscar Wilde Sketch - a sublime piece in which Wilde, Shaw and Whistler test the dim Prince Edward's response to blatant insults, and then attribute them to each other if he happens to notice - "Your Majesty is like a big jam doughnut with cream on the top ... what I meant was that, like a doughnut, um, your arrival gives us pleasure and your departure only makes us hungry for more..."
I love them all, but I would've cut numbers 6, 10, 15, and 17-19 from the Entertainment Weekly list.
Via Marginal Revolution.
P.S. One more that just came to me is the Spoken Italian class. John Cleese makes the class ape his stilted pseudo-Italian "Sono Inglese de Gerard's Cross", and then has to answer a question in broken English from the capo in the class about why he has to say he is from Gerard's Cross when he is actually from Napoli.
I'll add the Bruce's Philospher's Song and Batley Townswomens' Guild presents the Battle of Pearl Harbor, which is the Python's dressed as older women having a brawl in the mud.

I love soooo many Python skits and sketches. But without a doubt the greatest Monty Pyhton sketch/skit would have to be the Greek philosophers versus the German philosophers (and Franz Beckenbauer) in a soccer game. Pure genius.

That one never appealed to me much. I just saw it again in one of those "Personal Best" shows, and it didn't do much for me.

1) Shocking Bills: I've liveblogged every Bills game since Week 1 of the 2009 season, but I opted not to for the Raiders game. I know, I apologize to the 1015 people I disappointed, but you learn a lot more from a football game when you can watch it without typing furiously between plays and guzzling caffeineinfused beverages. Basically, the Bills are a 10 win team with very little margin for error. A key injury a Fred Jackson or a Ryan Fitzpatrick, not a Roscoe Parrish the ship, as the Bills definitely lack the depth of a Green Bay or New Orleans in order to keep up.
