(14,565 posts)Every time I want to name one favorite skit a dozen more come to mind. But every list would include Upper class Twit.
Ron Obvious
(6,261 posts)First one that came to mind is the one about the revolting janitor guy wanting to marry the upper class guy's innocent-looking daughter:
"And how do you earn a living?"
"I clean public lavatories"
"And is there promotion involved?"
"Yea, after 10 years they give me a brush."
"And when would you want the marriage to take place?"
"Oh right away, guv. I haven't had any in weeks!"
That's all from memory, so undoubtedly wrong.
I guess I missed that one.

(15,393 posts)Graham Chapman, for whatever reason, thought the skit was later and didn't come out leaving Palin making coughing and retching sounds for longer than normal, so Cleese, who wasn't in the skit but was dressed for the next one, came out and did the lines perfectly. The next skit featured him as a bishop. So Bishop Cleese steps out, and the first line is, "Now I understand you want to marry my daughter?"

There were 17 of us living in a rolled up newspaper in the bottom of a septic tank & every morning we'd wake up and had to lick the paper clean, with our tongues, work 18 hours a day at mill, got paid only tuppence a month, and every night our dad would come home and thrash us with his belt!"
Man 2: "OH, a NEWSPAPER, eh? Course, WE were so poor we could only DREAM of having a newspaper of our own!"

(15,393 posts)Which led to a slide show of Palin displaying words they wouldn't say anymore with some letters blocked. With
KN*CKERS showing up twice (one for Knickers and one for Knockers). And then Semprini (name of a composer), which took us back to the Naughty Chemist coming out and asking those waiting, "So, who's got a boil on the Semprini then?"

(Best line? "I had to bring the goat, he's not well. I only hope he don't gob on the carpet"
They were genius.
Oh...and FWIW, "The Four Yorkshiremen" did not appear in the series. It was a stage sketch only.
