Palin.

1.Palin
2.Idle
3.Jones
4. The rest

I remember being quite surprised by just how much of the famous Python stuff came from Palin.

'Favourite Python Member'.......that's got to be the most obscene thread title to grace this forum. (It's certainly up there.)

Laughing out loud
Anyway, another Palin vote from me.

Unless you lived through the 'what colour is your poo' thread days, you have no concept of the term obscene.

I stand corrected (as it were).

:D

1. Cleese, obviously, for the most comic talent.
2. Then Palin.
3. Then a tie between Chapman, Idle and Jones.
6. Gilliam.

Not sure it is so 'obvious'. He's the most distinctive performer, certainly.

Is Gilliam everyone's least favourite?

Not because we dislike him in any way, just because we like the others a bit more.

Palin. I especially love him as the genial torturer in Brazil.

Well, as a Python member, he didn't write any of the sketches, he just did those animations and turned up to gurn a bit every now and again. (Not that his animations weren't great)
