I know it's from a movie, but I have to go with the Castle Anthrax.

If I had to go with one from the series, It probably would be the Dead Parrot sketch. That's the funniest one that comes to mind at the moment.

It's a crying shame they think that that's what's screwing up their site!

Now back to the OP...it would be easier to say what was the worst Monty Python skit...really...there isn't one.

Germany v Greece 1972 Olympic soccer match with philosophers as players.

Ref - Confucius

Linesmen - Thomas Aquinas, St Augustine

Germany

Gottfried Leibniz

Immanuel Kant

Georg "Nobby" Hegel (capt)

Arthur Schopenhauer

Friedrich Schelling

Franz Beckenbauer

Karl Jaspers

Karl Schlegel

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Friedrich Nietzsche

Martin Heidegger

Karl Marx - substituting

Wittgenstein in the 2nd half

Greece

Plato

Epictetus

Aristotle

"Chopper" Sophocles

Empedocles of Acragas

Plotinus

Epicurus

Heraklitus

Democritus

Socrates (capt)

Archimedes

Outcome

Nietzsche receives a yellow card after claiming that "Confucius has no free will"; Confucius says "Name go in book". Karl Marx replaces Ludwig Wittgenstein, but does nothing to advance the game. On the 89th minute, Archimedes cries out "Eureka!" and instructs the Greeks to use the football. Socrates scores the only goal of the match in a diving header from a cross from Archimedes. As the sketch closes, the Germans dispute the call; "Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination, and Marx is claiming it was offside."

Trivia

The narrator mentions that Germany had beaten "England's famous midfield trio, Bentham, Locke and Hobbes" in the semifinal.

The presence of Beckenbauer is described as being a "bit of a surprise"; Beckenbauer is not a philosopher but an actual football player.

The presence of Archimedes in the Greek team is also described as a surprise, since he is often seen as a physicist and mathematician, but not a philosopher.

A number of discrepancies appear with regards to squad numbers, for example; When the line-ups are displayed at the beginning, Nietzsche is listed as number 10, but wears number five. The commentator announces him as the one being booked, but announces him as having the number 10.

When Karl Marx makes a substitute appearance, he has "1" on his back, the number already apparently sported by Leibniz.

Due to financial limitations the recording was done with only one camera available. This is evident in the replay of the goal which is clearly not the original goal.

Marx may have a valid argument about the offside call. Heraklitus is onside when he receives the ball, and when he brings it past the last German defender both Socrates and Archimedes are clearly onside. When Archimedes passes from just outside the six yard box, however, Socrates is already clearly inside it.

At the start of the match the narrator mentions that the German team had attracted a large amount of press coverage due to "team problems."

The opening title and the narrator announce that this game is a rematch ("Rückspiel").

Normally I would say something along the lines of what the Queen said, but also add the Mr. Hilter sketch (proof that, for MP, there were NO sacred cows). However, John Cleese's roast of Graham Chapman at Chapman's memorial service is priceless.
