Monty Python and the Holy Grail

[DerkPerk]

We watched parts of it with my 7 and 11 year old tonight. They laughed pretty good at a few parts. Love it!

Ok, ok, now for some funny bits.

"You tit! I soiled my armor I was so scared!"

My "the best years of my life were on the rodeo circuit during college" John Wayne worshiping cowboy, Dad, laughed so hard I thought he'd need CPR. Must have be 1985 or so when I tricked him into watching it on VHS.

Crazy that came out in 1975!-WW

Was that in Spamalot too? It was the last scene of "Life of Brian."

Yes, they added it to Spamalot. They just had to. King Arthur is depressed because they just endured vicious taunting by the Frenchies (and even lost a man to a flying cow) so Patsy tries to cheer him up.

From the script:

Arthur. This is a total bloody disaster, all my knights have fled and we're lost in a dark and very expensive forest.
Patsy. Well, it could be worse.
Arthur. Oh how could it possibly be worse?
Patsy. Cheer up, Sire. You know what they say.
Arthur. What do they say Patsy?
Patsy. (sings) Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad.
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle,
Don't grumble, give a whistle!
And this'll help things turn out for the best
And..
Always look on the bright side of life!

etc.

Castle Anthrax

[rsrguy]

Tis but a flesh wound, I’ll bite your bloody knee caps off!

As has been stated an all time classic comedy movie . It was so bizarre at the time and almost every scene has some hidden gem of a line . Who thinks up a killer rabbit ? Castle of virgins ? Knight with all limbs cut off still wanting to fight ? Cars driving through scenes ? Clip clopping coconut shells to simulate horse back riding ? And on and on and on . Just brilliant . Watch that movie and Young Frankenstein back to back you might end up in the ER

I see im not the only one who has seen this movie many, many, many times. Can i say both sober and altered? Lest i forget many views of Flying Circus as well.

My whole, well most of it anyway, perspective of British “culture” has been shaped by the very talented Python group.

"Right! Silly little bleeder! One rabbit stew coming right up!"

A mřřse once bit my sister...

"Logically, if she weighs the same as a duck..."

[Porsche-O-Phile]

“Zoot... JUST Zoot”. 🤣

[stevej37]

I'm going against the flow on this one....

I've seen MP numerous times..never considered it that funny.
For every 30 seconds of funny..there is 5 minutes of foolish.

Doesn't hold a candle to most of Mel Brooks movies. Specifically, 'Blazing Saddles' or 'Young Frankenstein'

[pavulon]

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

[plain fan]

"Please, just a little peril!"

I actually watched this Friday night; after this week, I wanted some silliness.

[Z-man]

One of the classics!

My friend had a Holy Grail Party years ago — and in order to prepare for it, I played the audio over and over and over again at work.

So - all you experts - what did the lady accused of being a witch say when the scales determined that she was indeed a witch?

Funny you say that. I was in HS when MPATHG came out.

Years later I flew with both Royal Navy and Royal Air Force pilots. My favorite, Bob Green, was as funny as funny is and often prefaced his opinions with , “Right...” often at my expense.

RIP, Robert. Great pilot, better man.

Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!

Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you!

Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

Help! Help! I'm being oppressed! Violence inherent in the system! Violence inherent in the system!
