I have quibbles with the list, but at least they tried. And I do pretty much agree with their number 1 choice.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Its a pretty good list. Better than I could do, as I can't really decide what I like best. But that's a good choice for #1 and #2.

 

[Mark]

My #1 will always be the Cheese Shop sketch.

 

[Wombat]

Bah!

The list does not include The Upper Class Twit Of The Year Contest!

One of my personal faves

Still and all, a good list.

 

[Mystery Man]

The hungarian to english dictionary sketch deserves at least an honorable mention. C'mon!

 

[EricNoah]

Agreed, we'll put that in place of Eric the Half a Bee.

And I do like the cheese shop, better than dead parrot by a long shot.

I also have a fondness for:

rival archaeologists
gossiping hermits
Montgolfier brothers
Raymond Luxury Yacht
and oh so many others....

That Flying Circus DVD set was the best gift ever.

 

[Silver Moon]

What! No Dr. D.P. Gumby!

And I'm also partial to Scott of the Sahara.

I'm a huge fan of the Dead Parrot sketch -- probably my #1. I'm surprised the Lumberjack song did top 10. It's okay, but is way over done. Their #1 is probably top three for me.

I also like:
Nudge Nudge
Self-Defence
Restaurant Sketch
Argument Clinic

And I will pipe up in favor of The Piranha Brothers.

Luigi Vercotti: "Well, I was terrified. Everyone was terrified of Doug. I've seen grown men pull their own heads off rather than see Doug. Even Dinsdale was frightened of Doug. He used... sarcasm. He knew all the tricks, dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes and... satire. He was vicious."
