- The Animated Monster skit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail
I do not own any of this material it's all courtesy of Monty Python at / montypython .
I only upload these videos because i'm tired of all the shitty quality ones on youtube.
I just love how the bridge keeper is not immune to his own rules and gets thrown in the gorge
yup
That means he isn`t actually the bridge keeper, he`s just someone who enjoys asking people questions to have them fall in, which makes this even funnier to me.
The trick to defeating him with an impossible question is to reply with a question... never mind if the question itself is incorrect. 😆😆😆
@@jonathantan2469 Funnily Sir Robin could have done just that, as Assyria had several capitals over time, so if he had just asked "In which time period/century" the bridge keeper might have fallen in.
Shame he had never heard of Assyria in the first place though.
@@newname4941 The best weapon against a bridge keeper is reading out the entire libraries across all kingdoms of the world beforehand
I love how Galahad fucked up on the easiest question
Bruh I don't think I could have answered correctly,my favorite color varies from time to time.
@@oldworldpatriot8920 I can’t choose between red or black
As someone who is incredibly indecisive, subjective questions are often the hardest to answer.
"Bridge keeper, I might confess that I love basically all colors you and I are capable of seeing."
"I'm blind."
*still dies*
@@sethbangard5194 let me help you, black isnt a color
I never realized until now that there really WERE five questions.
1. Name
2. Quest
3. Favourite Colour
4. Capital of Assyria
5. Airspeed velocity of unladen swallow
African or European swallow?
@@mohammedrazeenzaeencamil9344 uh I don't know that. (Cast into the gorge).
@sarysa OG Yes, I was wondering why the five and three joke never played out.
@@mohammedrazeenzaeencamil9344 How do you know so much about swallows?
@@darthstarkiller1912 Well you have to know these things whem you're king you know
"Look the old man from scene 24!" There's so many great fourth wall breaks in this movies
Get on with it!
The movie assumes the fourth wall doesn't even exist

Best part 😂😂
That was Easy
THAT'S EASY!!!!!
That’s easy!!!!
*STOP*
@@EnderSpino
Who approaches the bridge of death must answer me these questions three, on the other side he see.
Had a biology teacher in high school ask about the speed of a swallow as a bonus question on an assignment.
Whoever got the joke and put "is it African or European?" got a bonus point.
Some kids who didn't get the joke put a TON of time and effort into doing the actual research to answer the question. Kind of felt bad for them.
Another funny thing most people miss is the fact that swallows fly From Africa to Europe so there's actually no distinction😂
Lmfao
@Joe Becker as far as my research on this goes, they're the one and the same, just found in different continents at different times.
My 5th grade teacher had a bonus question that asked, "What color milk do Brown Cows make?" I put down white thinking nothing of it..... Almost the whole class said brown milk, with one person even putting blue. My class wasn't the brightest.
You should have asked him, laden, or unladen?
unladen: not carrying a load
Love how they reuse the same clip wherever someone couldn't answer the fifth question.
@Jaden LaFrance Yes! Third question. Same shot!
Lmao they didnt have budget
It's funny how the cheapness of some effects just makes it so much funnier.
_third_
Whenever one of the men gets tossed into the Gorge Of Eternal Peril, I really like how everyone else just stands there and watches without expression, and then they just carry on as if nothing happened! It's like, "Oh, well. My turn."
What else could they do?
@@JS-rv3et Huh? I... I don't know that! 🤣
I love how indifferent they are towards the death of the other knights of the Round Table with whom they've been the whole journey with lol
@@JS-rv3et get worried and maybe start to question whether they should continue on lol
@@MW_Asura Yeah. They have absolutely no expression! 🤣
This has to be the best punchline to a recurring gag I've seen

Such questions are difficult to swallow
J. J. Hey, come on now. You shouldn't be robin this movie of its humor with with a cheep pun like that
*rim shot*
That's ok, you don't have to swallow, you can spit instead.
What do you mean, african difficulty or european difficulty?
I hate the fact I chuckled at this
I love how King Arthur just fires the question back at the old man.
"How do you know so much about sparrows?"
@@ddthewolf well you have to know these kind of things when you're king
He has met quite a few journalists in his life
Well you have to know these things when you're King you know...
Lol is it cuz at the beginning of the movie he was told this by some tower keeper guard?
_"Look?! There's the old man from scene 24."_
Watch it back. It's literally scene 24 too!

@Basel Othman, you shut your mouth.
Is, not was. That means in the time period of the film lol.
Nineveeh??
By the time the movie takes place, the Assyrian Empire was long gone. And the last capital of the Assyrian Empire was... Harran.

@@randomduck8679 LOL.. right on. Some people still think making fun of handicapped people has value... it doesnt.
3:15 "Well you have to know these things to be a good teacher, you know."
How Arthur so nonchalantly plays off his victory over the bridge keeper "Well you have to know these things when you're a king, you know," might just be the greatest line in the movie and it can't be ignored.
Al the while African and European swallows are actually the same migratory birds 😂
@@rubensoetemanAfrican swallows are non migratory
I love how it’s not until Galahad corrects himself that he is cast into the gorge.
lol because he realized too late that you're not supposed to just say "blue" but to honestly answer whatever YOUR favorite is :)
I love how Arthur still keeps getting three and five mixed up xD
It is a neuropsychiatric condition, I start my lecture on this topic with this.. :)
I like how Lancelot has a plan to improvise by making a feint to the northeast.....
I mean literacy and arimethcs weren't as widely teached as it is today (mostly).
I mean technically he's right there were 5 questions
'What is your name'
'What is your quest'
'What is your favourite color'
What is the capital of Assyria
What is the speed velocity of an unladen swallow
@@echosouth1260 Except he asks three of them. The third question just changes.
In german theres a cool little line that the guy at 2:42 while falling into the abyss. He screams "But I'm colourblind!" Since he couldnt decide what his favourite colour was.
I think it’s funnier without him being colorblind
@@giovanni21mas Well humor is subjective but I agree.
ooow doo yoo knooo soo much abooot swalloooows?
two guardsmen were arguing earlier about them and I had too wait for them to finish before I could speak to their lord
Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know
Any king worth his salt should be able to recite every member of the swallow family without breaking a sweat.
as well as the velocity they have when they are unladen
@@demonminer8093 laden too
"WHAT. is your name?"
"WHAT. is your quest?"
I watched this movie for the first time yesterday and for some reason this kept playing over in my head and I could not stop laughing 😂😂😂😂😂

"There's the old man from scene 24".
LOL!
SurfK9 When the script writer don't have time to make a name, so they just put his name as "The old man from scene 24"
I wonder if there'd be an old man who named himself "Old Man From Scene 24"
What's he doing here?
Blue... No! Hahahhaha
"Blue...No, Ye.."
In the german translation the falling man screams: But I am color-blind :D
The royal fry cook wears...uh red underwear. No blue. Gahhhh.
Blue! No! YELLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!
hahahaha, Palin's grin when he realizes he got it wrong is beyond cute...=)
He truly is so wise in the ways of science.

*What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?*
NoodlesAhoy Comedy African or European?
What? I don't know that...
NoodlesAhoy Comedy *OOF*
11 meters per second or 24 miles per hour.
You have to KNOW these things when you're king, you know.
Poor Sir Robin... He's only the bravest when he perceives no danger
"... who had *nearly* fought the dragon of Angnor, who had *nearly* stood up to the vicious chicken of Bristol, and who had personally *wet himself* at the battle of Badon Hill!"
One of the funniest bits i saw in my life, stoned, drunk on a Friday night with buds back in the late 90s. We laughed uncontrollably for a good 10 minutes. Ill never forget it.
That’s fantastic
Must've been a good time
Film has been part of our favourite memories for decades.
I saw just a few years later in similar circumstances, may some kid see it today 😂
dammit Galahad you screwed up the easy question
Well, its hard if you are an uncertain person.
He screams that he is colour blind in the german dub.
In real life the king was a liar
@@josefmuehl The Germans actually did it. They managed to make it not funny.
Blue no yelloooooow
How do you lose on your own favorite color? 😂
galahad is colorblind in the adaptation :P
You don't know how much I can relate to not being sure about my own favorite color.
Well, I have two favorite color actualy
He repeated Lancelot's answer because of the pressure.
He's colourblind.
*"Look, there's the old man from scene 24!"*
Perfect delivery of that line
Hahah I swear to got my history teacher had these question for bonus on my last exam, anyone who got the reference got extra points.
You have a sick teacher
"What... is your name?"
"King Arthur."
"What... is your quest?"
"To seek the Holy Grail."
"What... is the time two trains meet if one travels 70 kilometers per hour and the other travels 60 kilometers per hour?"
"Wait, are the trains moving in the same direction?"
"I don't kno- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
Is the track a straight line or a sphere?
😂👍
How do you know so much about trains?
@@ddthewolf he fucks trains
"how far apart are they? for all I know, they meet each other 5 times already and in 3 seconds it will be the sixth"
The worst part about this is that ill never see it again for the first time. I laughed so hard i almost threw up
The way the bridge keeper excuses Sir Lancelot still has me rolling LOL 😂
Right then! Off you go!
xen0g3n 😂😂
Arthur: "There it is, the Bridge of Death !" Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir Launcelot: "Oh, great..."
Brave Sir Robin has a chicken on his suit! lol

By the gods, there's a south korean on the loose
What can you expect from a brave knight who personally wet himself
Well now he is a roasted chicken...
Brave Brave Brave Sir Robin...
My favorite scene of the movie
Your favorite scene, eh? My favorite is Castle Anthrax
There are so many great scenes in this film, I find it hard to narrow it down to one choice.
- Black Knight
- Castle Anthrax
- Tale of Sir Lancelot
- Holy Hand Grenade
- Bridge of Death.
Sure there were other good scenes but those were the most memorable for me.
My favorites are camelot, brave sir robin. Killer rabbit, bridge of death and intro
Mine was probably the Black Knight, the one with the witch, and “suddenly the animator had a heart attack”
See....there is a reason, why some people are kings.....and other are not 😉
Jesper Gotthelf I thought it was women coming out of lakes & handing out swords
And, he's the only one that doesn't have shit all over him.
Brent Cyca 😋
Bedivere is my favorite character, i love that he has to hold his helmet visor thing so he can see better
What I just noticed about this scene, and it’s something I really appreciate because it is so rare in films nowadays, they actually had the mail coif properly fitted to the person wearing it, they aren’t very loose fitting at all. Infact all the gear they’re wearing is accurate, far more accurate to King Arthur then even King Arthur films nowadays, bar the blue chap’s helmet which is entirely because it has a useless face guard and possibly the Frenchies body armour though that may possibly be Brigandine.
Now that you've mentioned it, that's pretty cool.
@@khajiitimanus7432 Can't say Monty Python didn't pay attention to details.
Why is almost everyone online so good at spotting little details that make it all enjoyable?
@@dafilmqueen556 I don't know that...AAAHHHH!!!
and the bridge look like a "real" bridge of death and not a computer animation.
3:10 that gurgling sound when the old man falls into the pit is killing me lol
My English teacher is over 50 years old, having taught at my school for almost the entire duration of its existence. He watched Monty Python with his dad as well.
This is truly timeless comedy.
"That's easy!"
"What is the capital of Assyria?"
What... Is the airspeed valacity of an unladen swallow?
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
This must be The best scene in film history, or at least of the comedy genre.
Alright, off ye go then
"How do you know so much about swallows?"
"Well you have to know these things when you're a king, you know."
I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO FUCKING MUCH
And it refers back to the very first joke in the movie
Love his chicken armor
Minsteral: “His head smashed in
And his heart cut out
And his liver removed
And his bowls unplugged
And his nostrils raped
And his bottom burnt off
And his penis-..”
Sir Robin: "...That's, that's enough music for now lads, there's dirty work afoot..."
If you think about it Sir Robin has an arc of sorts. He spends the whole movie running away from from everything until this scene where he charges forward declaring that he's not afraid, which ironically leads to his own demise.
You have to know about these things as a king you know
For some reason, the little exchange between Bedevere and Arthur at the end always cracks me up-“How do you know so much about swallows?”
Must be Jones’s voice, plus that little maneuver he does lifting the grill on his helmet. Just funny.
Kind of like the Gilliam illustration of God when Arthur tells him, “good idea,
Lord!” thundering in response, “OF COURSE it’s a good idea!”
Not the best gags in the movie, but it illustrates how great this film was-even the little filler bits are funny.
Bridgekeeper: "What... is the total population of Kansas City?"
King Arthur: "What do you mean? Kansas City, Kansas or Kansas City, Missouri?"
Bridgekeeper: "I... I don't know that. AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!"
(Bridgekeeper is cast into the Gorge of Eternal Peril.)
"How do you know so much about Kansas."
Well, you have to know these things when you’re a king, you know?

Sir Bedevere. The student who cheats by just following the student who studied answers
“What is your favorite color?”
“Is Black a color?”
“I suppose so.”
“Then black; not because I don’t like bright colors, just because bright colors bother my eyes.”
“Understandable, off you go.”
Oh, Thank You!
Look! It's the old man from scene 24!
No matter what I do, I will always come back to this movie. Endlessly quotable, and I will never forget how much I laughed watching it with friends for the first time. Legendary.
3:06 made me laugh silly when I saw this scene, the scream is funnier than the other knights who got a question wrong and died...
Lancelot was the first to get arrested. You know he doesn't snitch on his crew?
“There it is, the bridge of death”
Oh great
One of the funniest things I saw growing up, I'll never forget 9th grade sitting in class at a new school when the teacher put this on. This kid and i sat in the back and cracked up for a good solid 10 minutes over this scene. I wish I could have a good laugh like that now a days.
"There it is! The Bridge of Death!"
"... oh great..."
0:57 Americans every 4 years
When each individual is ejected into air and tossed into the chasm has got to be the funniest of all in this scene.🤣🤣🤣🤣
The fact that you can tell it is a dummy being thrown into the air is hilarious!

I thought he always had the right to change his mind. Well, he’s screwed.
When the man at the bridge asks the questions and gets thrown into the pit I lost it 😂
Questions my little brothers are asked in school: 1:23
Questions I was asked when I was their age: 2:09
They broke the fourth wall before it was cool.
We used to play this scene when I was a kid, but we added one extra line in.
If the crosser missed the third question, the bridgekeeper would say:
"I'm sorry, you are the weakest link. Goodbye!" (Then the crosser gets sent to their grave).
I love that 5 vs 3 questions theme xD They came as 5 but 3 of them survived :D
There it is, the Bridge of Death! Sir Robin: Oh, great.
3:04 He replying with no answer, Got tricked by King Arthur mentioned words, Until the villains goes off into the lava
"What is your favorite color?"
"Aššur"
what i find clever is that lancelots line "i am not afraid" is spoken bravely and honest. and when robin copies him he sounds cocky and complacent yet hes the one that messes up.

"It's the old man from Scene 24," the irony is that this scene is Scene 24 on my DVD. Gotta love consistency.
My favourite scene of any movie ever made.
the bridgekeeper is squinting his good eye and looking out his blind eye
Such an underrated scene
I remember seeing this scene like 6 years ago, I still remember the scenes and dialogue
To be safe, I better brush up on Swallows.
The old man lost me at "What is the capital of Assyria?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I like when they say: what do you mean, african or european swallow? I dont know that. WOOAAHH!!!!!😂😂😂
"How do you know so much about sparrows?"
Well you have to know these things when you’re king you know.
Assur is the capital of the old Assyrian empire 😂
Yes and there have been many capitals so the sad thing is robin could have asked which time period to trap the bridge keeper.
I wouldve said Babylonnia lol. I'm guessing I would've been thrown In
Assur wouldve been my first and nineveh my second. Civ Vand the bible
The fact that the bridgekeeper got thrown into the gorge that means he isnt actually the bridgekeeper hes just some guy gatekeeping a bridge and asking people questions for shits and giggles
Hahahahaha I love that.
