Ten Favorite Monty Python Sketches

(Yes, I was one of those teenagers. Here’s my top ten list, in order of preference.)

 

  1. Silly Job Interview *

  2. Argument Clinic

  3. The Dirty Fork

  4. Self Defense Against Fresh Fruit

  5. The Ministry of Silly Walks

  6. Confuse-a-Cat

  7. The Mouse Problem

  8. Vocational Guidance Counselor

  9. Summarize Proust Competition [I could only find a link to the whole episode; this sketch runs from roughly 0:30 to 4:37]

  10. Asking the Man in the Street What He Thinks

* This never gets cited as one of their best sketches, and I don’t understand why. It’s from episode five—”Man’s Crisis of Identity in the Latter Half of the 20th Century”—which also boasts my #6 and #10, probably making it my favorite episode of the series.
