    God, "Upper Class Twit" is so brilliant.

    It would be hard for me to rank Monty Python sketches, but Upper Class Twit is on the short list.

    Spanish Inquisition, however, is Palin's greatest moment.

    Got the complete series box set. Maybe we can work a trade.

    As for Palin, I greatly enjoyed the one where he plays the first Scottish men's singles champion of Wimbledon after alien blanc manges transformed everyone in England into Scots (for it is well known that Scotland is the worst tennis-playing country on Earth).

    Was Palin the announcer for the philosophers' soccer game?

    That one is tops as well.

    I heard he bore his son's child in a coverup.

    Here's another of my favorites: Palin as recurring Italian mobster Luigi Fircotti.

    How about self-defence for people who attack you with a fruit?

    It was good, but mostly Cleese, and Idle with his 'point-ed stick'

    Well than Spam. (not that Lumberjack and cheese shop aren't great, I'm just trying to think of some others)

    Customer: cheddar is the most popular cheese in the world.

    Shop keep: Not around these parts, sir.

    I loved Spam. Cracks me up.

    I think one of my favorite sketches (I have no idea who wrote it) was the Silly Job Interview.
