Is it me or this was simply their best one?

Its definitely a classic but there's so many good ones that I'd say its really hard to pick the best one.  Some of the skits are on their own only just a bit funny but within the context of a whole episode they are outrageously funny so its really hard to say.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Although I'm also partial to the flying sketch (I am not on a wire, I am flying!).

"...Once the number three, being the third number be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it. Amen"

And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade on high, and spake, saying: "O Lord, bless this thy Holy Hand Grenade, that with it thou may blowest thy enemies into tiny bits, in thy mercy!"

The soccer match between German and Greek philosophers was far and away the best TV sketch they ever did.

I agree 100% with the latter.  I actually cried laughing at that one.

In my opinion, their best sketch was "The Funniest Joke in the World". I love that one.

That one is definitely a solid contender for being their best ever yes.

Personally I still get a kick out of the skit that lasts most of the episode where the aliens from another galaxy invade and turn everyone into Scotsmen so that the aliens can win and Wimbledon.  Comedy gold!

that was the one about the joke that was so funny it was used as a weapon in WW2 and had to be written in different parts so no one person would hear it, and it was translated into German so it could be used by solders in the field and only the enemy would be effected.

Now that I saw more of Monty Python, I am no longer convinced it is just more dry and stupid British humor.  Yeah, the dry and stupid humor is there, but there's also a taste of obnoxious and insulting Canadian style humor in there, which I think is the best kind of humor ever.  Ever!

The Halo version is better methinks...

I've played on 1/2 or 3/4s of them... I remembered a few names, but it's been awhile since I fired up HCE.  :(  Although, bitterbanana (ShawnS)'s mods are nice.  :drevil:

Yep, they are. You wouldn't have happened to have played Butcher's server? Or perhaps played on Diesel's 3rd Server?

I've played on Diesel's server, not sure which one.  Butcher, IDK, maybe... I just find a server with good players and decent ping, and jump on.  :D

You played on Butcher's server? Who were you?

Used to frequent that server all the time... then it mysteriously vanished.

Which is too bad, cause that server had the best competition...  :(

Uh... back to topic:  :nervous:

"Art of not being Seen" is definitely a good one.
And I disagree, Spartan, the Halo version is not better.

Explanation: I do not know Monty Python as well as I should. I do, however, know much about Halo. I saw it linked from somewhere else and saw it, but immediately recognized John Cleese's voice.

Tangent: In the second-most recent Bond movie, there is a reference to Monty Python. Small cookie if you can name it.
