The Repression bit in Search for the Holy Grail.Funnier still in that scene is the fact that they're harvesting filth. That didn't strike me until I'd seen the movie a few times.

I know it is mighty predictable but i still crack up every time i hear " I wish to complain about this parrot wot I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique"
I am also a huge fan of Fawlty Towers ( recently voted best sitcom of all time in the UK)
hotel guest "I dont like the view from this window"
John Cleese(basil Fawlty) "what exactly did madam expect to see out of a Torquay bedroom window ? the hanging gardens of Babylon?, herds of Wildebeeste sweeping majestically across the bleedin' plain ,I am sorry Krakatoa isn't erupting at the moment..........."
and who can forget the majesty of "don't mention the war" ?

"He can't help it - he comes from Bar-ce-lona...!"
I'm with you too duncster - Farty Towels is the reduction of comic script writing to close to perfection, for me! Where would family life be without the convenient shorthand of "I'm fixing the sodding MOOSE HEAD darling...!"?

My mother's favourite and often quoted Fawlty Towers line is "Excuse me ma'am, is this a piece of your brain?" (Basil picks a piece of fluff off the floor and asks the pretending-to-be-deaf lady, to show that she can hear perfectly well.) (Not very a commonly known line but good when someone is being obtuse.)
