	Great quiz! Long overdue! Absolutely hilarious group of men!

	Don't know why I always forget Palin. Who is/was your favorites? Mine has always been Idle by far.

	Chumley:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 05:26 GMT	8 points
	I would say Palin was always my favorite (That is probably why I never forget him)

	AeroE:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 05:57 GMT	8 points
	I think John Cleese is my favorite.

	Great quiz. Easy for a die-hard fan (having seen "MPFC was conceived, written and performed by ..." a gazillion times). Also, my favourite is Graham Chapman, may he rest in peace.

	How could I forget poor Graham Chapman! And now, something completely different...

	XUCC:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 07:55 GMT	10 points
	Its.....

	XUCC:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 07:57 GMT	7 points
	my favorite is probably terry gilliam i never thoght that he got the acclaim he deserved.

	Lilybert:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 08:23 GMT	8 points
	I love Monty Python! "Life of Brian" is a piece of genius. My fave? Uhm, that's hard. Cleese and Palin also wrote "Wanda", so extra-kudos to them, Terry Gilliam is a terrific director (I even wrote my degree thesis about his filmmaking work), Jones is wonderful as a woman, Idle has the musical talent, Chapman was a woderful actor...

	Bethannie:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 08:47 GMT	9 points
	Geniuses, every one of them! Really easy quiz for the fans, but great to give a nod to such undisputed talent!

	davidr:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 09:22 GMT	6 points
	Sorry to have forgotten you, Terry Jones. It was just the lack of coffee, honest.

	Catherine_F:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 13:40 GMT	9 points
	I forgot 3 of them. Not a good day. My favourite is Palin.

	davebesag:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 13:42 GMT	18 points
	Carol Cleveland should be a bonus answer.

	tim333:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 13:44 GMT	6 points
	Phew. Almost forgot Jones's last name. Just remembered it with 8 seconds to go!

	jkd:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 13:45 GMT	6 points
	@Dave Besag: I was just thinking the same thing.

	[Deleted]:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 13:45 GMT	6 points
	My favorite with Monty Python: Cleese My favorite after Monty Python: Gilliam

	Massagraf:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 14:41 GMT	6 points
	Cleese and Idle are my favorites :)

	Chiaprofessor:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 15:00 GMT	8 points
	I could never choose a favorite. Each plays to a different part of my wickedly, warped psyche.

	Malffy Hernandes:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 16:34 GMT	7 points
	I always miss Terry Gilliam...damn yankee,lol.

	starsaphire:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 18:03 GMT	10 points
	Excellent quiz; thank you Sporcle! So are we going to get "Euphemisms for Death in the Parrot Sketch" next? :D

	shel99:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 18:03 GMT	5 points
	I always forget Terry Jones! I know it's another Terry, but can never remember the last name...

	Annie:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 19:47 GMT	5 points
	I suggested this one last night. I'm very happy it's here now. I think there should be one for their films. My favorites are Idle and Palin. But Cleese is good too!

	craigary:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 21:51 GMT	7 points
	I must be such a Monty Python nerd for thinking this quiz way too easy! ;-) And now for something completely different... a man with a xylophone up his nose.

	shani3:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 22:45 GMT	8 points
	Piece o' cake. Or maybe piece o' spam.

	springmom:	Dec 12th, 2008 at 23:35 GMT	5 points
	Too cool!

	SillyStokey92:	Dec 13th, 2008 at 01:39 GMT	5 points
	I can't believe I forgot Chapman AND Palin. I love Palin. Idle and Cleese were always my favorites.

	ntnon:	Dec 13th, 2008 at 14:32 GMT	7 points
	I agree with the need for Carol Cleveland to be a bonus answer.

	BlueEyedAlien:	Dec 13th, 2008 at 16:53 GMT	7 points
	RIP Graham Chapman. Thank God for film and videotape. May the Pythons live forever.

	AhLeah:	Dec 13th, 2008 at 19:31 GMT	10 points
	This could be made into a truly Pythonesque quiz by making the answers Margaret Thatcher, Richard Nixon, Mao Zedong, Cardinal Richelieu, Princess Margaret and Attilla the Hun.

	MissInformed:	Dec 13th, 2008 at 23:53 GMT	5 points
	Great quiz, but I would have thought just one minute would be enough for this one. :-)

	Lilybert:	Dec 14th, 2008 at 09:51 GMT	4 points
	@Lunza, do you mean Attila the BUN?! lol

	Lyn_Marie:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 06:35 GMT	5 points
	Love them all, but Palin is my favorite... or Cleese... no, Palin.

	Sabo:	Feb 2nd, 2009 at 03:38 GMT	4 points
	One could argue that Connie Booth should be a bonus answer, too.

	DeeJay:	Mar 13th, 2009 at 18:43 GMT	4 points
	I can't believe Terry Jones was the most missed...

	LaStic:	Apr 16th, 2009 at 13:28 GMT	3 points
	Completed in 22 seconds. Got Graham last: even though he was my favourite. They don't make them like that any more.

	Jacob Gehman:	Apr 21st, 2009 at 23:41 GMT	-3 points
	...Does Gilliam actually count as a creator? I mean, he wasn't an official Python for the first handful of episodes. From reading the The Pythons: Autobiography I seem to remember it was actually a contentious point of debate for a while. Not that I was confused by his conclusion... but semantics and all that...

	Kitnaz:	Apr 26th, 2009 at 21:11 GMT	3 points
	R.I.P. Graham :(

	Kohoutek:	May 5th, 2009 at 14:49 GMT	6 points
	Terry Jones is definitely my favourite. History nerd, author of children's books, and does a good woman impression. What more do you need? :D I did try to see if Carol Cleveland was a bonus answer too....

	Bretzky:	Jul 14th, 2009 at 16:46 GMT	3 points
	John Cleese was my favorite during their post-Python careers. But my favorite during the Python period was Michael Palin. He had my favorite line from any of the Python movies as well, "Are you suggestin' coconuts migrate?"

	kerry_:	Nov 1st, 2009 at 17:03 GMT	4 points
	Michael Palin is unreal. I don't think it's possible for him to be any more attractive to me! To be fair though, I wouldn't say no to any of them :P
