Disregarding anything these guys did outside Monty Python (so forget about Time Bandits, Fawlty Towers, etc) which member of the Monty Python team is your favourite?

They take it in turns to be a sort of favourite Python for the week, but all the shenanigans of that Python have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting, by a simple majority in the case of purely Python-related pranks...

Really tough call.  I think it was John Cleese who hooked me initially (with the Dead Parrot routine), but I could give the vote to almost any of them.  I guess I'll go with the gut response and go with Cleese.

massive fan of all things Python ...
All incredibly talented - but if I had to spend time with one of them - it would be Palin.
He's very well rounded - the one Python that was always liked by the others...
A kind family man who's funny as hell.

Considering the group only, John Cleese.

Of course the logical choice is to go with we are an anarcho-syndicalist commune, but I have to go with Gilliam because I love the animated scenes and characters in all the Python stuff.  I believe he was the main author of the animations.

All of them can be equally annoying and irritating and they all can be equally brilliant.

Just to be completely contrary and chauvinistic, I'm going to go with Carol Cleavage, I mean, Cleveland though not literally, of course. Or do I? *nudge-nudge-wink-wink* ...hang on a minute... she must be in her 70s by now... So, erm, umm... Yes, I do mean "not literally". Harumph! 
What?

Favourite sketch is "Archaeology Today".

I'll vote for you for that Palin! I'll vote for you if I have to log onto a forum and eventually gain voting privileges to eventually chance across an Internet forum that has this very option.

I would link it on You Tube, but sadly it cuts out before the pay off line about Arthur Negus.

Been a while since I saw that one.  Just watched again and I'm still cracking up.
