John Cleese had one of the best slams ever on Piers Morgan this week. Here it is:

Since he's on my mind, I will make him and the rest of Monty Python the Friday laugh.
This skit is so amazingly well written, even when it get's to outrageously, silly levels, it's still mesmerizing. Palin and Cleese have some of the best comedic dialogue ever written, but it's Eric Idle and the sorely missed Graham Chapman who end up really driving this bit. They are quick elements of the piece, but they are perfect.
I was at the Dudley Riggs show 50 Shades of Gravy recently and was extremely impressed with their ability to work together as a group. Having the performer know how to deliver a quick line that's outrageously funny but doesn't overwhelm the rest of the group is very tricky. In that regards, Monty Python is really there greatest comedy troupe ever. Everyone knew exactly how to play off of the rest of the group.
For your viewing pleasure, let's have an argument! Enjoy!
