For me it’s just a question of _which_ Monty Python movie scene to choose… “strange women distributing swords is no basis for a system of government” probably comes out ahead. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/KN9c2TAWMlg/maxresdefault.jpg "Strange women, lying in ponds, distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KN9c2TAWMlg) But “Romans they go the house” comes in close behind: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/IIAdHEwiAy8/hqdefault.jpg "Life of Brian - ROMANES EUNT DOMUS") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIAdHEwiAy8) And there are a ton of others up there from both movies. ---

Funniest scene is hard, but I can think of two lines that have to be the best comedy lines in history. Blazing Saddles: “Hey, where’re all the white women at?” [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/493pL_Vbtnc/hqdefault.jpg "Where The White Women At? - Blazing Saddles") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=493pL_Vbtnc) Some Like it Hot: “Well, nobody’s perfect.” [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/-mHhr-aaLnI/maxresdefault.jpg "Some Like It Hot (11/11) Movie CLIP - Nobody's Perfect (1959) HD") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mHhr-aaLnI) ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > “Hey, where’re all the white women at?” Ever since I first saw Blazing Saddles, it’s been SO hard not to ask this when walking into a room… really made teaching a challenge. ---
