Python. My choice from overseas would have to be Seinfeld.

Mel Brooks.
I never really got Monty Python. Funny, but never anything spectacular to me.

slightly unfair to pitch one brilliant mind against 6, but I have gone for MP..
..I think MB's early stuff is great... The 12 Chairs is marvellous...

Sorry this one is a dead heat. "Blazing Saddles" is the funniest movie ever made but "Holy Grail" is right there also.

Monty Python were much more sophisticated than Mel Brooks, whose humour (as has been mentioned before) sometimes is too shallow. Loved Young Frankenstein (or was it Fronkensteen) though.

What about the Upper Class Twit of the Year, or the invasion of the tennis playing blancmanges? As much as it pains me to say this, Mel loses. However, Blazing Saddles is a masterpiece, as it kills racism with comedy. Still, MP win win a combo of great films and their timeless show

Monty Python, by a mile. Mel Brooks' humour is not my kind of humour; it is a bit shallow at times. But the Pythons are the kings of absurdity. I could watch some of their immortal scetches again and again, like the one about the two Kilimanjaros.

I am a huge fan of Monty Python. Love everything from their BBC shows to their movies. My all-time favorite is easily The Holy Grail.

Monthy Python are in a league of their own.
