Mine has always been the skit where "Men Who Place Things On Top Of Other Things", (I was a mover most of my life), morphed into a "Great Escape"!!!
 
...hard to say! Love 'nudge nudge wink wink', the Minehead election Hitler sketch, 'The killer joke', the dead parrot sketch, Michael palin as army officer wanting to march 'round and round the square', the 'attack with a deadly banana', the 'Ministry of funny walks', the Life of Brian Film, etc , etc.... :)
 
There are so many. I always liked the bicycle repairman skit. Everyone was dressed as Superman and rode bicycles. The hero was the guy who transformed into bicycle repairman when someones bike broke down.

Another was the Spot the Looney gameshow and Twit of the year contest. Additionally, the gameshow when people would hide somewhere and they would be blown up in a big explosion.
 
There are sooo many. Killer Rabbit; The ultimate insult: "You tiny-brained wiper of other people's behinds" Don't remember the exact skit but in a vet's office, Palin is sitting with a large crate and is all clawed and sctatched, clothes are in rags. Crate jumps and noises from inside. Everyone moves as far away as possible. Another man in same condition with identical crate comes out of office and Palin says: "Oh you have one too"
 
argument clinic, the deadly banana, and it is only a flesh wound :)

The French guy on the castle rampart in Holy Grail breaks me up every time. To carry Mike's further: "your mother was a hamster and father smelt of elderberries!"
 
In the early years of the 16th century, to combat the rising tide of religious unorthodoxy, the Pope gave Cardinal Ximinez of Spain leave to move without let or hindrance throughout the land, in a reign of violence, terror and torture that makes a smashing film. This was the Spanish Inquisition... (this transcript is also available with screen shots from the original)

Chapman: Trouble at mill.
Cleveland: Oh no - what kind of trouble?
Chapman: One on't cross beams gone owt askew on treadle.
Cleveland: Pardon?
Chapman: One on't cross beams gone owt askew on treadle.
Cleveland: I don't understand what you're saying.
Chapman: [slightly irritatedly and with exaggeratedly clear accent] One of the cross beams has gone out askew on the treadle.
Cleveland: Well what on earth does that mean?
Chapman: *I* don't know - Mr Wentworth just told me to come in here and say that there was trouble at the mill, that's all - I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.

[JARRING CHORD]

[The door flies open and Cardinal Ximinez of Spain [Palin] enters, flanked by two junior cardinals. Cardinal Biggles [Jones] has goggles pushed over his forehead. Cardinal Fang [Gilliam] is just Cardinal Fang]

Ximinez: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.

[The Inquisition exits]

Chapman: I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.

[JARRING CHORD]

[The cardinals burst in]

Ximinez: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms - Oh damn!
[To Cardinal Biggles] I can't say it - you'll have to say it.
Biggles: What?
Ximinez: You'll have to say the bit about 'Our chief weapons are ...'
Biggles: [rather horrified]: I couldn't do that...

[Ximinez bundles the cardinals outside again]

Chapman: I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.

[JARRING CHORD]

[The cardinals enter]

Biggles: Er.... Nobody...um....
Ximinez: Expects...
Biggles: Expects... Nobody expects the...um...the Spanish...um...
Ximinez: Inquisition.
Biggles: I know, I know! Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. In fact, those who do expect -
Ximinez: Our chief weapons are...
Biggles: Our chief weapons are...um...er...
Ximinez: Surprise...
Biggles: Surprise and --
Ximinez: Okay, stop. Stop. Stop there - stop there. Stop. Phew! Ah! ... our chief weapons are surprise...blah blah blah. Cardinal, read the charges.
Fang: You are hereby charged that you did on diverse dates commit heresy against the Holy Church. 'My old man said follow the--'
Biggles: That's enough.
