The problem is that the answer can change if you look at their work just with Monty Python and their work post Monty Python.
Eric Idle wrote “Always Look on the Bright Side” so that clinched it for me.
Technically, brilliant as their Monty Python work was, as evidenced by the fact that they are often thought of when thinking of Monty Python, both on the TV show, in the movies, and in after-Python projects …

Regulars, and fantastic regulars, particularly Ms. Cleveland.
