    I have to go with monty python. It is actually funny. Benny Hill is as fun as losing your legs in a carcrash.

    Python.

    Benny Hill consisted of lots of bikini clad birds running around and had one joke - the one with the bloke stood in front of the toilets obscuring the "wo" on the women. BH walks into toilet and is chased out by lots of bikini clad birds. Yawn.
    "I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

    Neither.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    Monty Python was better, but Benny Hill was still a riot. Good bawdy English comedy.

    Benny Hill was silly and "stupid funny" like Steve Martin. Monty Python was pure genius. I couldn't count the number of times I almost passed out from laughing so hard that I could hardly breath or shot beverage through my nose when an ill timed drink coincided with an MP punchline.

    Python, no need to think about it... Meaning of Life, Holy Grail and Life of Brian are among the best movies ever.

    Coming soon to Broadway, "Spamalot", the musical production of the Holy Grail.

    Their bit on the rampaging grandmothers with machineguns still brings tears to my eyes. The absurdity of it all. Nudge-nudge, wink-wink.
