Way to hard to vote.  Python was brilliant but they were a group of guys not just one.  Mel did fantastic and had some great actors to promote his material Gen Wilder, Harvey Korman, Madeline Kahn (rip).   Chapman, Gilliam, Cleese, Idle et all were absolutely nuts.  They really introduced me to British slapstick.  I just watched The Life of Brian last night and laughed my ass off again.  I guess the best way to sum up is Python is so British and Brooks is so American they are both fantastic.   Clap

Sorry, but in my opinion nothing Monty Python did was ever funnier than Blazing Saddles.

I've recently seen "Young Frankenstein" in its original language... I can't help but voting Mel Brooks

A hard decision to make but I think I prefer the Pythons to Mel Brooks but both are great.

Easy one for me. I love Python, but have never been much of a Mel Brooks fan. 
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Monty Python is forever funny and I just saw Spamalot recently to remind me but Mel's "Young Frankenstein" and "Blazing Saddles" still make me LOL.
