Alan Rickman and Eddie Izzard doing The Four Yorkshiremen.
It's a bit off on the timing in the video, and they improv a bit, but classic nonetheless.

1. The original is always best
From "At Last, the 1948 Show," a precursor to "Monty Python's Flying Circus" with (l-r) Tim Brooke Taylor, John Cleese, Graham Chapman and Marty Feldman.

3. I am too, since it was the first one I saw
But I think the "1948" bunch played it better than the others — perhaps because Brooke-Taylor and Feldman wrote it.

(I didn't know it wasn't a Python original until I got the "1948" DVDs.)

:hi:

5. Thanks...
..it's a tad slow,but just to see Eddie crack up at Alan's delivery is worth it.
