The 'Every Sperm Is Sacred' scene
'If the Catholic Church had let me put a little rubber thing on the end of my knob, we would not be in the mess we are now!'
Also:
Bring Out your Dead!
I'm not dead yet!
Pardon?
He says he's not dead
Well he soon will be.
Actually i feel quite fine. I might get up and go for a walk now
You're not fooling anyone you know.
And the 'I am Death' scene from 'The Meaning of Life'
What did you say your name was?
Love them all!:D

One I love from Holy Grail :
The bloke running towards the castle from afar, and the two guards watching him. He never appears to be getting closer, until suddenly he's right on them, and spits one of the guards ... and the other says "hey" after him as he heads into the castle.

Hehe love that bit.
In the Holy Grail where they find out from the French guard that the frogs actually have the Holy Grail.
The ensuing banter and physical humour from John Cleese is hillarious, followed by the caterpulting of farm animals.

A few of my favourite classics
"...it's only wafer thin"
"WHAT, is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?"
"African or European?"
"I don't know. AAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!"
"No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!"
"Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam..."
But, forever and always my all time favourite:
BARBER:
I wanted to be... a lumberjack!
Leaping from tree to tree, as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia. The Giant Redwood. The Larch. The Fir! The mighty Scots Pine! The lofty flowering Cherry! The plucky little Apsen! The limping Roo tree of Nigeria. The towering Wattle of Aldershot! The Maidenhead Weeping Water Plant! The naughty Leicestershire Flashing Oak! The flatulent Elm of West Ruislip! The Quercus Maximus Bamber Gascoigni! The Epigillus! The Barter Hughius Greenus!
With my best buddy by my side, we'd sing! Sing! Sing!
[singing]
I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night and I work all day.
MOUNTIES:
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
BARBER:
I cut down trees. I eat my lunch.
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.
MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He eats his lunch.
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea.
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
BARBER:
I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars.
MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He skips and jumps.
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around in bars?!
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
BARBER:
I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Papa.
MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He wears high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra?!
[talking]
What's this? Wants to be a girlie?! Oh, My!
And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter!...
[singing]
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
He's a lumberjack, and he's okaaaaay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
Have they released these on DVD yet?

...and from the TV series, the Spanish Inquisition, Doug & Dinsdale Piranha, Funny Walks, Cheese Shop, Dead Parrot, Four Yorkshiremen and the Fish Slapping Dance take the cake.

I've got several Monty Python DVD's, but not the TV series. I have "Life of Brian", "Meaning of Life", and "Live at the Hollywood Bowl" in a triple pack (about $50 from JB Hi Fi) and the German special "Fliegende Zirkus" which features some well knownsketches (Little Red Riding Hood, Olympics sketch).

"I'll ask him but I don't think he'll be very keen, he's got one already you see!"
"What?"
"He says he's already got one?"
"Are you sure?"
"Oh yes, it's very nice!" "I told them we already got one... heheheheehehehe"
Cracks me up every time!
Man, I'm gonna need a week to even think about this one....but for now......

Of the movies?
Both from Life of Brian - the stoning, and the meeting at the colosseum...

Loretta
It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
Reg
But...you can't have babies!
Loretta
Don't you opress me!
Reg
I'm not opressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb. Where is the foetus going to gestate? You're going to keep it in a box?
Loretta
Sniff.
Judith
Here, I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually
have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans', but that he can have the right to have babies.
Rogers
Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right
to have babies, brother. Sister! Sorry.
Reg
What's the point?
Rogers
What?
Reg
What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies, when
he can't have babies?
Rogers
It is symbolic of our struggle against opression.
Reg
Symbolic of his struggle against reality.

Ozz: Was at JB Hi-Fi a couple of weeks ago and they had a boxset of Life of Brian, Holy Grail and Meaning of Life.
Black Knight: "I am invincible!!"
King Arthur: "You're a loony.."
