Sargeant Major is my favorite of this movie.
"Marching up and down the square not good enough for you??? Right! Off ya go!"
I quite like Every Sperm Is Sacred - blame eleven years at Catholic schools.
You wouldn't know a joke if it got up and gave you a haircut - Edmund Blackadder
The Tiger part, of course!
Det. Lennie Briscoe: I want to go to law school so I can learn how to turn gold into lead.
Yes, the tiger part's brilliant. I also love the Galaxy Song!

Just... re...member that you're standing on a planet thats evolving and revolving at 900 miles per hour... Eric Idle is awesome!

A MINICAM!!!??? - Francine Fishpaw
The whole Zulu sequence...
"So it'll just grow back then?"
It's beautifully shot, brilliantly scripted, and flawlessly performed. Sheer bloody poetry...
"Harry I want you to sell me a condom, because I am protestant"
"well why don'tcha then"
"I can get French ticklers if I want"
"French what?"
Anyway I'm gonna pull the movie out and go watch it again.
"I wonder where that fish has gone/ You did love it so... you looked after it like a son/ And it went... where ever I... did gooooo."
I watched this part on my computer, and it's much more funny at a slower pace like 1/2 speed.
It's easier to be a human than anything else in life.
Terry Jones's stretchy-arms guy showed up on Family Guy once... :-)
shareI just can not stop laughing when Eric Idle (is it?)
starts fiddling with his whiskers.

Yup it is Eric Idle. That part just didn't make any sense at all. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw it :D

Live Organ Donnors and The French Restaurant scene
Push the envelope, watch it bend
My favorite bits right now are "FIGHTING EACH OTHER", and "DEATH".
The several sketches in "FIGHTING EACH OTHER" are the one place in the entire film that comes closest to the feel of the tv series. And the last part, with the Zulu war devolving into a tiger hunt, when then completely falls apart with the 2 guys in the tiger suit making increasingly idiotic excuses, just has to be Michael Palin's work. So much of his writing is like that, staring out looking like something impressive is going to happen, then getting further and further from the point. (Sort of like the argument about the coconut and the swallows at the beginning of HOLY GRAIL.)
In "DEATH", the "man who chooses his own form of execution" is a riot (and only as long as it needs to be), while the dinner party interrupted by the Grim Reaper grabs me because I just tend to enjoy depictions of "death" as a character. It reminds me a bit of an old Woody Allen routine, where death comes to visit him, and he somehow talks the guy out of taking him right now.
John Cleese in the whole Zulu sequence was by far the best for me.
"Calm leadership of the British officer class"
"I'm afraid I have a bit of a problem here... one of the officers has lost a leg."
"Oh god! No sir!!"
my favorite bit was the classroom scene, with john cleese as the sex. ed. teacher. i was watching it with my friend, and our parents walked in and he said, "well, THIS is awkward..."
and of course, find the fish rocked.
i loved the find the fish thing, but it was all terribly funny
"i don't want to start bleading all over the place!"
also where they take their car to heaven
"but i didn't eat the mousse"
"what...lock the door?"
He came from outer space, to save the human race...

i think the best parts in this movie would be where i cringed the most... so the little girl's solo during 'every sperm is sacred', and cleese's "now, did i do vaginal juices last week?" oh man, it's all priceless. i love this movie so much... granted, it's a tad uneven, but it's still a damn sight better than most of the sh*te that comes out nowadays, disguised as comedy...
Oh, intercourse the penguin!
I love the scene with the Grim Reaper. Everyone doing like he's a nice guest, while he's death, running through tables, insulting Americans and British people. Then that woman says: "How come we all died at the same time?", with a look in her eyes like she made the best parabel there is.
And when they leave the house: "Hey, I didn't have any Salmon mousse!" or "Let's go by car" - "Why not?"
I kept laughing like a little girl in that scene :D
"I wander where the fish has gone."
shareI agree ,the galaxy sequence is charming and brilliant.

dont forget the scne with the wwi soldiers. I lose it every time it come on.
"Let's not give him the cake." Terry Gilliams characters are underated. Others:
Death Scene
Galaxy Song
Tiger
Find the Fish "A Fish A Fish A Fish Ohh!"
Definitely the Protestant Couple XD
" ...'I want you to sell me a condom, for IIII am a Protestant'."
"So why don't you do it, Harry...?"
...and the Sperm Song is aaawww so beautiful ^^
Find the fish is the best. It's my computer desktop. I also like the galaxy song, the "Every Sperm" song, the Mr. Creosote scene, the Death scene, the bit with the naked chicks and the Crimson Permanent Assurance mini-feature.
Is it just me or does this film have a sort of magical, artistic charm about it?
- The Crimson Permanent Assurance (both the preceeding short and the random interuption to the "feature film")
- suicidial leaves
- Find The fish (looks like something Gilliam directed)
- Conversation in medieval restaurant.
- Penis piano song by Eric Idle in fancy restaurant.
- Gilliam's Middle of the Movie announcement.
- Live organ transplant, I like the intense look in John Cleese's face and of course Terry Gilliam as the unlucky donor with dreadlocks and the Hitler mustache.
- Death cursing at the Brits.
- drill sergeant
- The Adventures of Martin Luther in Reform-O-scope (in director's cut), it should have been left with the rest of the film.
The best and truest Python film.
When John Clease has sex with his wife for the kids' sexual education.
