I made a joke in my d&d session about getting a magic set of coconuts that made us travel faster and my dm loved it so much he just gave it to me for free with the caveat that I have to clap 2 coconut halves together when I use them. They are called the coconuts of expeditious retreat
Enn Reitel was only 24 when it came out. They had to wait until he'd aged enough and gained enough life experience to plausibly take on the role of Mr. Johnson.
I remember seeing this on my "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" DVD, but I never tried to make my own pair of coconut halves. By the way, if you ever try to do this, don't use a cleaver to cut the coconut in half. It's probably best to use a saw.
The real question is of the airspeed velocity of the coconut after it was released from the bird's grasp.
Which bird?
Yes
@@pegmay7209 a swallow

Depends, European or African?
Excellent I wasn’t sure how to utilize all these coconut shells I had laying around
How many ya got?
So that´s why they gave to the first 100 people a coconut at the Holy Grail movie premiere
Where did he get those coconuts? And what is he doing in England?
mcaddicts the cocknuts were carried by swallows
@@imre8623 what, A swallow carrying a coconut?
@@rogermaris1961 He could grip it by the husk!
Mind your own business.
It could be carried by an African swallow!
Brilliantly done, my wife wants a horse. I like this idea better. This will save me a lot of money. Thank you
I take it you’ll be following her religiously clapping the coconuts together?
So you see, Monty Python invented Gangnam Style all those years ago!

are you suggesting that a 5 oz. bird can carry a 1 pound coconut?
Not at all, it could grip it by the husk.
@@rogermaris1961 it's not about where it grips it, it's about weight ratios!
@odindobres4673 How do you know so much about swallows?🧐
That's where this is from. This is an extra feature in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
This was such a great special feature
I was stoked to see Michael Palin himself host this segment
hey guys this movies going to be a lot more expensive and complicated if we use real horse
fuck it, get some coconuts. funnier anyway
The gorilla hand caught me so off guard. 🤣🤣🤣
its not a question of where it grips it it's a questions of weight ratio a 1 pound bird could not carry a 5 pound coconut!
A 5 ounce bird and 1 pound coconut
Well it doesn't matter! Can you go and tell your master if he wants to join me and my Court of Camelot?
It could be carried by an African swallow!
How have i never seen this video before? Its absolute perfection 😂😂😂😂
truly educational...
ok so do i just cut coconuts in half, take out the insides, and bang the shells together?
Don't just throw out the coconut water! Drink it!
Suprisingly harder than it looks.
"You've got to empty halves of coconuts and you're banging them together"
You can also use food storage containers in place of coconuts.
I'm not sure when this was filmed but Michael's still pretty spry. :-)
Excellent tutorial
i nearly died. this is too funny!
And subsequently of the velocity of the unladen swallow.
What do you mean? An African or a European Swallow?
Why wasn't this in the movie?
ReneeMontoya12 it is in the DVD as an outtake
I can also use food storage containers in place of coconuts as well.
Candle holders.
Delvin Mallory at the end.
I like the part where he cuts his hand.

I thought it was swallows.
One of these days I have to do this with a friend in public!
This looks like Palin was home alone and bored
Stop this. It’s Silly!
It's!
I agree this is getting way too silly
No
2:09 🐎
I remember doing this With plastic Ramikins In a restaurant dishpit on a slow day.
lol best comedy group ever
Anyone notice that at 00:34 it's a woman's hand?? XD :P
Don't you mean 0:34 ?
"Thank you"
:D
Well for some reason now I know how to use a coconut.
1:35 How to properly utilize a coconut.
this is a great video
lol. He butchered his hand.
🤣🤣🤣 I have the Special edition DVD!
Check it out at :35 its a woman's hand not his.
WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE COCONUTS?!?!?!
We found them!
When was this made? It's just Palin and not Python.
@KingsField418 never mind i didnt realize it was on purpose
Enn Reitel there as "Miss Johnson".
Cool video
Proffesional
And now for something completely different...
Really?
I thought they Migrated...
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
@@YumeDream39 *nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn-*
OMG IT'S ENN REITEL!!!
1 person doesn't know how to use his coconut.
@NerOxFiLms Don't you mean swallows?
Who played Mr Johnnson? I've definitely seen him, but can't quite place the face.
Enn Reitel
These are the more common uses xP
Did this air before Holy Grail?
Yeah, Silly British using coconuts :D
Supreme executive power comes from a mandate of the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!
Hickok45?
why am i watching this?
But I don't think they're migratory
Swallows!
Michael Palin ?
I think you mean swallows.
Hmmm, I suppose so. Still, it would've been nice.
*Swallows
He cut him self
@toskoramone
To empty the milk.
Lol... 0:35 is a chicks hand instead of the guys.
@NerOxFiLms swallows.. but still funny xD
Does this actually work? Please say yes
Yeah, it works. They used to actually clack coconut shells together in the radio days to simulator horse movement.
Thumbs up if you correctly guessed right from the start where this was going.
lol thats funny . . . pointless and funny. . . . something i want to do :D
Ik 😮w rDe toch y😮😢eo eit
The joke is in the continutiy 'errors' yuck yuck yuck
0:35 he got his finger nails painted, its a SHEMALE! (never could had guessed that)
Actually its a woman's hand (just like how at the part where they put away the flesh his hand is replaced with a gorilla/ape hand)
@toskoramone haha FAIL!!
