The further this thread goes on the more brilliant sketches are remembered, and I think I'm the first on this thread to mention the dead parrot sketch.

Oops. I love this part of the life of Brian, really ripping the shit out of Christianity/Religion. (Which the whole movie does anyway)

Ex-leper is another one.
One could spend all night long laughing at Monty Python stuff. Actually, I think I'm going to do just that.

These guys were comedy trailblazers. So much of the alternative comedy that began to get proper airtime in the 90's (thanks mainly to C4 and to a lesser extent BBC2) was possible and inspired by having Monty Python going first. "Absolutely" for example.
Some of the sketches are still brilliant, like those mentioned, some will no doubt age badly because they seem quite subtle compared to what we have now been allowed to watch. Do not forget just what a storm Life of Brian made when released.
Silly Olympics:
Philosophers football - some would say England still use the template :
Upper Class Twit of the Year -
(with Tim Nice but Dim running right through it).
There are plenty.
The context is entirely that what has been since is largely influenced by them, or possible because of them. There was a programme on them a while back with a web drawn of where their influence has gone and it is massive.
Other, less Python but still quite funny at times films such as Erik The Viking deserve a bit of a mention as well. And Spamalot made me near wet myself.

I also thought it was perceived wisdom that females struggled to raise a smile at Python whereas proper blokes loved it.

They also released recordings as well, including such gems as the Olympic sport of being eaten by a crocodile.
