Mine (if you couldn't tell by the attached image) is the Ministry of Silly Walks.
Mr. Pudey: Well sir, I have a silly walk and I'd like to obtain a Government grant to help me develop it.
...
Minister: It's not particularly sill, is it? I mean, the right leg isn't silly at all and the left leg merely does a forward aerial half turn every alternate step.
Mr. Pudey: Yes, but I think that with government backing I could make it very silly.

I don't recall the title of this one, but it depicts a scene where a man is on the beach looking for a place to change into his swimming trunks but someone invades every nook and cranny he finds. Then he finally opens a door which happens to be the back entry to a stage, and stripper music starts playing, to which he strips off his clothes, much to a full audience's amusement. I love this one because I can really find myself in it. I am extremely shy in real live but extremely outgoing on stage. I also love the Man with Three Buttocks, The Encyclopedia Salesman, the Silly Job Interview, I Wish To Report A Burglary... there are so many moments!

There are so many great sketches. I always thought that the fish slapping dance was the most utterly bizarre thing that they ever came up with. I haven't seen it as often as some of teh ones already mentioned and perhaps thats why I still find it funny

i have always liked the arguement sketch, but i also like the interview with three members, the first one can only say the first part of the word: the second member can only say the middle of the word and the final person can only say the last part of the word, they then all start saying a sentence together

cant remember the name, but there is this hilarious scene where four old men start overbidding each other in how bad their youth was, ending in something like:
"we used to work 36 hours a day, eat a hand of stone cold poison, and then get a beating!" got me rolling on the floor from laughter^^
