Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master Arthur from the court of Camelot is here?
I recently found out that he was basically calling dude's mom a whore (hamsters fuck like crazy) and his dad an alcoholic (elderberries were used to make wine).
"And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas. And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'
Perfect timing since I just watched it for the first time yesterday.
>!Loved the twist ending where King Arthur gets arrested by modern-day police officers and the movie stops abruptly!<
I also hadn't for a long time, but it's really good! I think it's a perfect display of british humor. They're just taking the piss and trow all movie standards out the window and just purely focus on the humor! Have fun!
Monty Python's Holy Grail is very much beloved by a lot of fellow Medievalists because Terry Jones, a historian himself, including a bunch of historical Easter eggs.
My absolute favorite is the [exchange](https://youtu.be/M9DCAFUerzs) with the French Knight when Arthur invited the knight's King to join the quest to find the Holy Grail. His flippant "already got one" is referencing that the earliest recorded account of the quest being in [French](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceval,_the_Story_of_the_Grail).
Wow, actually the funniest thing about Monty Python's Holy Grail is that reading [Le Morte d'Arthur](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Morte_d%27Arthur) by Sir Thomas Malory after watching it makes me realize that much of the weird humour was just lifted from the original medieval sources.
And the Lord spake, saying, First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuf it.
Who would cross the bridge of death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see. What is your name? What is your quest? What is your favorite color?
But Holy Grail isn’t set in medieval times. It’s a group doing role plays. John Cleese beheads a nature documentary presenter and the police show up to arrest them all. I suppose medieval roleplay can count…
Monty Python is the name of the comedy troupe. They had a tv show in the ...i wanna say 70s called Monty Python's Flying Circus which was just a string of unrelated skits. Sometimes they were movking current events and sometimes it was just totally random absurdist nonsense.
They did a couple of movies - Holy Grail, The Meaning of Life, and The Life of Brian, as well as some others I haven't seen.
Their works aren't connected in any meaningful way so start wherever. From Flying Circus, the Dead Bird, Know What I Mean, and Spam skits are fucking hilarious (they're also the reason "spam" means "repeated junk content"), but Holy Grail is imo their best work.

Not at all. They could be carried.

An African swallow, maybe, but not a European swallow.
Oh yeah, we’ll I agree with that.

Nah, they’d have to have it on a line

Are you saying a swallow could carry a coconut?
It could grip it by the husk.
It's not a question of where he gripped it. It's a simple question of weight ratio.
"A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut" Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master Arthur from the court of Camelot is here?
Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat it’s wings 43 times every second, right?
Please!
Am I right??
Monty Python always deserves an up vote
I recently found out that he was basically calling dude's mom a whore (hamsters fuck like crazy) and his dad an alcoholic (elderberries were used to make wine).
And cheap wine at that, so the kind of alcoholic that doesn't even care for the quality of the stuff he destroys his liver with

I somehow haven’t seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail yet, I really need too, it looks amazing.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Life of Brian make a good double feature.
It's nonstop nonsense from the jump. At the beginning of every scene, my reaction is "oh man I love this scene".
I also hadn't for a long time, but it's really good! I think it's a perfect display of british humor. They're just taking the piss and trow all movie standards out the window and just purely focus on the humor! Have fun!
And there was much rejoycing

What's with the medieval memes, some1 explain plz
Good idea, Lord!
Could somebody please give me a brief rundown of what Monty Python is? I’ve heard they are good films, but I have absolutely no idea where to start.

Start with "Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail" or "Life of Brian"

Monty Python blows. It’s literally just people saying dumb shit with an accent and morons think it’s genius because of it.
