Oh yeah, both are top notch. Fucking coconuts and the Judean Peoples Front.

This is a hard one. Both have timeless hilarious scenes.
I feel like Brian's good scenes are better than Grail's (Biggus Dickus, the credits song, the graffiti,...) but that it's paced horribly and the lesser scenes are just painfully unfunny (the crowd listening to Jezus). The political humor also gets lost on me.
Grail seems more like it moves at sonic speeds at times and is more "okay" throughout rather than going from "this is genius" to "why the fuck am I watching this".

I'm going to have to go with Grail as Brian suffers from the same issues as Meaning Of Life

I liked the crowd scene :(

especially...

Brian: You're all individuals!!

One random dude: I'm not!

I might be misremembering here, but that's not what I'm referring to. Brian says that during or after the scene where he poses as a prophet to escape the Romans.
I'm talking about when the actual Jesus is adressing a crowd early into the film. With "The meek will inherit the Earth" and constant Big Nose jokes.

They're both great

I think Brian wins purely for the fact it managed to be a coherant story as well as sketch comedy

Holy Grail was a loose assocation of sketches which was intended to be 50% modern day and 50% the past and they went 99% the past quite late into writing the script because those sketches were funnier.

And IMO that does show.

Not knocking it tho, both movies are great

That's the one. That scene and a few others bring down the movie for me.
Good thing they instantly save it with the stoning following it.

You're probably remembering it right. I wasn't sure I was thinking of the scene you meant when I posted that tbh, so you are probably right

Yeah, Meaning Of Life is a slog to sit through. But the "every sperm is sacred", "sexual education", "bring in the machine that goes BEEP" and "the suicidal leaves during fall" scenes definitely make it worth it IMO

I like this one:

Also both the songs, Why Are We Here and Galaxy Song are amazing.

Oh yeah, that's a good one as well. It is solely due to Palin hamming it up rather than the actual joke though.

I really like the leaves bit, especially the very end.
