Michael seems to be the best 'actor' of them all, by this I mean he seems to be able to handle all types of characters extremely well. I love him as th5b4e Catholic Father in "The Meaning of Life"
"I've given this long and careful thought.and it has to be medical experiments for the lot of ya"
I love it! -

By far Michael Palin is my favorite Python.
Even my quote shows that he's my favorite in which the quote is when Michael's the Swamp King; he delivers that line so great, especially when he says occasion.
"This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who." -

If you couldn't tell by my sn, Eric is my fav. He is the funniest, Michael is second as the nice one, then Terry J., the energetic rat-bag woman, then Graham, who is the best actor, and Terry G., the hot american, and John, the perfectionist, are tied fifth.

I am in LOVE with Eric Idle, and he's my definite favorite. Him and Michael are awesome together. I'd say that Michael comes in 2nd, and then Graham, and then Terry/Terry/and John. they are all g1c84reat, though, I just have this weird attraction to Eric for some odd odd reason, even though he's old enough to be my grandpa.

It always used to be John but now that I bought the best of flying circus, I have to say Michael because I probably sound weird but he's just so sexy! I mean he's the only Python who has aged some what gracefully. My top sketches all contain him, The Lumber jack song, the spanish inquisition and deja-vu. Then Terry Jones because he was the smallest Python and as a small person I think he's fantastic (he also makes a convincing woman, almost TOO good) Then Eric because of the wink wink, nudge nudge sketch (he TOO makes for a convincing woman but Michael says "Eric looks like the woman whose just done something naughty on the weekend" lmao) Then John and finally Graham (didn't think Graham had a lot of good roles so that's why he's last, sorry Graham lovers)
Have a good time at the partyHappy Moulin Rouge coming out on dvd! -

My favorite Python is Michael for sure, hands down. My two favorite sketches that he is in are the Homicidal Barber/Lum111cberjack sketch and the Travel Agent sketch. I also like his Ex-Leper character from "Life of Brian." Don't get me wrong, all of the Pythons are great, but Michael simply stands out. Is it weird that I think he was really cute?

Michael's probably my favoritealthough, in all honesty, it's a bib68t like asking which of your children is your favorite. Not that I'm trying to infer that the Pythons are my spawnsorry about that nauseating thought

Instead of saying who is my #1 favoriteI'm gonna say why I like each one.
P.S. I'm just recalling these off the top of my headso the lines probably aren't exactly right.
Graham Chapman: "Stop that! Stop! This sketch is much too silly.."
"Outside I have police dog Anniewho is not only trained to sniff out elicit substances..but it also a junkie!"
"I'm glad that you were all able to join my little pahtayand Flopsie's glad too, aren't you Flopsie? Aren't you Flopsie? grabs Flopsie by the ears and shoots him That'll teach you to play hard to get."
John Cleese: "What about my rustic monologue.I'm not sleeping with that producer again."
"I have a theoryIt is mineYou may ask me what it is that is my theory."
"This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! He has retired and gone to meet his maker! If you hadn't nailed him to the perch he'd be pushin up the daisies! It's a stiff! Bereft of life he rests in peace! Thisis an EX-PARROT!!" ok i know that line was definately wrong..but i've got 4 more Pythons to talk about!
Terry Gilliam: actually I'm afraid I can't really quote him
Eric Idle: "A wink's as good as a nod to a blind bat!"
"I'll have a whiskey for first coursea whiskey for main courseand a whiskey for pudding..and a bottle of wine"
"Blonde prostitute will indulge in any sexual activitywhat does that mean?"
Terry Jones: "Oh molusksI thought you said bacon."
"To dicuss this topic we have a duck a cat and a lizard.."
So because everyone did so terribly..I'm going to award first prize to the girl with the biggest tits!!
Michael Palin: anything to declare "Yes 10 watchesI MEANuhh 1..just one watchno! Not even one watchno watches!!" where are you coming from "switzerlandNO! Uh..I mean.."
"It's not a razer cutRAZER RAZER RAZER BLOOD SPURT OUT DEATH SCREAM MURDER!!!"
"The place of the nude in my bed- in the HISTORY of my bed- Art!"
Favorite sketch: The sketch were Michael comes in as Mr. Gumby looking for Dr. Gumby (John) the 'brain specialist'.
J: Hullo!
M: Are you da brain specialist?
J: Hullo!
M: ARE YOU DA BRAIN SPECIALIST??
J: No..no I am not the brain specialist, no, no I am not.YES! Yes I am the brain specialist!
M: My brain hurts!
J: Well lets take a look Mr. Gumby
proceeds to pull off michael's pants
M: No, no, my brain in my HEAD!
J: Oh!
smacks michael's head a few times
J: It will have to come OUT!
M: Out of my HEAD?
J: Yes I must get the nurseNURRSE!NURRRRSE!NURRnurse appearsRRRRRSE!NURRRRRSE!NURRRRRSE! looks startled when he notices her Take Mr. Gumby to a brain surgeon!

Michael Palin is my favorite Python too. His parts in Holy Grail as Galahad, the swallow-savvy guard, Dennis, the Knight who says "Ni!" and all the other roles in that movie are hilarious. I love the line Galahad has when they're talking to the French guard, 'He says they've already got one!' And he is hilarious as the dad in the Meaning of Life. John Cleese is also hilarious, as the Minister of Silly Walks, and all those other silly roles. Generally, I just love any British comedies Mr. Bean, Fawlty Towers, all of that.

yes yes yes Michael is my favorite, although I've realized that Terry Jones and Eric Idle might be tied for second. I think Eric is just inching ahead of Terry, but he could catch up and perhaps even OVERTAKE poor Eric.

I like Michael the best, then eric then the same as quavergirl's answer really. I love him in Fierce creatures and a fish called wanda. You can't not fall in love with michael's character in a fish called wanda, can you?
there are THREE kinds of people in this world: those who can count and those who can't.
