Can't differentiate between them. There are so many great sketches, and they all wrote and performed.
Cleese features in "IS this the right room for an argument", my own favourite, and the parrot sketch, but there are so many others. -

Eric Idle, the most versatile actor in the group and the funniest (in my opinion).
Also, it was Eric Idle who wrote The Philosophers' Drinking Song.ACOL owner/administratorComment

Well, dang, it's certainly hard to beat the Philosopher's Song. But they're all so bananas it's hard to rate one much above another.(\__/) Save a bunny, eat more Smurf!

My favourite is Michael Palin - his acting in the Arguement Clinic is particularly fine and turns a potentially tedious sketch into a masterpiece. He's great in the Spanish Inquisition sketch and the Lumberjack Song too.
The Philosopher's Song is a work of genius, though.If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.Comment

John Cleese... by far the funniest.
I had to go to one of his "Corporate Motivation Lectures" and he had us in the isles laughing... while still getting his points across and making a lot of sense.
And nobody delivers the lines like he does...Keep on Civin'

Lemon CURRY?
Definitely John Cleese. So deadpan, so wonderful. The Ministry of Silly Walks sketch will still be around in the year 3000."Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt WhitmanComment

yeah, Cleese.
Saw him in a tv program about science a while ago. Very informative, and funny.

Cleese and Idle are my favourites.
Parrot, Silly Walks and Upper-Class Twit of the Year are memorable sketches.

Cleese: he has also hed the widest acting career outside of MP: come on, Faulty Towers anyone?
"its a joke name sire, like Sillious Saurus, or Biggus Dickus"
I like Gilliam's movies, specially Brazil and 12 monkeys, but he is a behind the scenes man. (except with those damn coconuts).If you don't like reality, change it! me
