THE FINE FIVE: MONTY PYTHON SCENES:
These are five wonderful Monty Python's Flying Circus sketches and scenes from the comedy troupe's vast library of such skits and sketches. Choosing a "top five" is like selecting a "top five" Bruce Springsteen songs: incredibly difficult, and subject to how one feels that day. I could just have easily included Whizzo's Chocolate Assortment, Bruces Philosopher Song, Spam, Killer Rabbit, Killer Cars, Upper Class Twit of the Year, French Taunters, We Have Found A Witch, Mr. Neutron, Argument Clinic, or Penguin on the Telly. Or any of a dozen more from each of their movies!
So this may be a "top five" list, but it doesn't mean it's the top five. And this list could change on a daily basis.
The five presented here are in no particular order.
(1) The Dead Parrot Sketch & The Lumberjack Song
(2) Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
(3) Hell's Grannies (note: this was probably my father's favorite sketch of all time)
(4) The Philosopher's World Cup
(5) The Black Knight
