Ministry of Silly Walks. The stoning of the guy in Life of Brian

I think the best sketch they've ever done is the Humour lecture (aka the custard pie sketch or the jape sketch) they performed in many of the live shows (incl. Live at the Hollywood Bowl). If you don't know it, it involves Graham Chapman delivering (in a very deadpan way) thebest ways of tripping people up, wopping them on the head with planks and delivering a custard pie, whilst Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones demonstrate.
Although it was written by Terry Jones and Michael Palin pre-Python (actually whilst they were still at Oxford University), it has got to be the pinacle of slapstick writing.
There's a recording on YouTube (link below) if you want to watch it and judge for yourselves (the film isn't the best quality but you'll get the idea).

Mine is from the life of Brian... when they're all on the crosses, singing the song... how does it go? Either that or that or the knights who said "ne" from the Holy Grail

"First thou pullest the Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

Impossible to choose.
I agree with dS, all of Life of Brian is a classic.
