Man everytime someone posts a list I see one I forgot.
Holy Grail
Monty Python in general... a year or so back, I caught an HBO special honoring their work, with the entire cast assembled, except of course the late Graham Chapman, and he was supposedly there in an urn...
It consisted of a series of clips from some of their funniest stuff, and at the end, they brought some lady out to present them with an "award" for their film work... one of the Pythons took the medal, and dropped it into the urn, while John Cleese stepped forward to accept the award on behalf of the cast... what follows isn't an exact quote, but it's close:
"At a moment like this, I think back to the days when we were getting started, trying to find an audience, and I think about what an enormous lift it would have been to receive an award like this.
But there was nothing... not a <bleeping> thing. And now, we're all rich and famous, and you're all creaming your jeans, trying to get next to us"...
At which point I'm on the floor, and one of the other Pythons gently leads Cleese away from the microphone... to me, that's pure Monty Python, inspired insanity...
"Tis but a flesh wound"...
