"Le singe est dans l'arbre" sketch was the very first time I saw Eddie Izzard on TV and I have never laughed as much at anything else in my life. In fact it still makes me laugh now just thinking about.

Can't remember the exact lines, James Mason as God, "Noah I want you to build an ark to take two of each animal". Sean Connery as Noah "but I was building a speedboat"
