Michael Palin is best remembered for his performance In Monty Python, where Palin played various roles, showing the range of his acting abilities. Roles go from manic enthusiasm, (such as the lumberjack of the Lumberjack Song), or unflappable calmness (such as the Dead Parrot vendor or Cheese Shop proprietor). As the latter, he was often a foil to the rising ire of characters portrayed by John Cleese.

Palin frequently wrote with Terry Jones for the sketches, some of the most memorable being the Lumberjack Song and Spam. But some sketches Palin wrote by himself, (or began the sketch by himself) such as the Spanish Inquisition sketch, in which a fairly widespread catchphrase was created- "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!"

Each member of Monty Python has an asteroid named after him. Palin's is Asteroid 9621 Michaelpalin.[13]

Because of his huge range, his ability to get on with all the other Pythons, and his boyish appeal to the general public, he is often viewed as being the nicest of the comic troupe, with David Morgan's official book which includes interviews with all surviving Pythons, even labelling him as "The Nice One".
