- AMERICAN REACTS TO MONTY PYTHON STONING | AMERICAN LIVING IN THE UK | AMANDA RAE
Hey Guys! I'm back with another reaction video, today I'll be watching Monty Python The Holy Grail ! I've had so many comments saying I need to see this so I'm really excited as I've never seen Monty Python.
If you have any other reaction ideas send me a comment or head over to my instagram to say hello. :)

The scene where Brian is caught painting graffiti and is given an impromptu Latin lesson by a centurion is painfully familiar to many of us who did Latin in British schools!
Absolutely! During my third year of Latin at Grammar School ( this was in the 1970s'), I accidentally discovered, to my horror and disgust, that only 1 year of the subject was actually required--but of course, why tell us boys that, and thus threaten the Latin teacher's job security?
With proof of this injustice, I was able to foment a 'revolt' By 6th Year, the latin teacher was gone. 'Romanus professori exeunt!!'
(I will note though, that I hated Latin because our teacher was....a nasty piece of work... a fascist, basically. But learning some Latin---despite the agony-- was beneficial to me in the end.)
I bet you didn't have Herr Neuen-Baumer slapping your face with a leather glove in Latin lessins like we did in our S E London Grammar School, aged 11/12 in 1965 :)
@@simonwaugh5519 SOunds like you went to the same school as me - I thought our Latin teacher was a prick as well
@Darth Wheazius If he was I,er, foiled his little idea.....:)
@Darth Wheazius sharp edged wit ? Rapier like? :)
Brian: “You are all individuals!”
“Yes, we are all individuals.” - Replies the entire crowd.
“I’m not.” Responds a solitary voice
“Yeah, Except for him.” Answers someone in the crowd.
Classic Python.
Funny enough, the "I'm not" was ad-libbed - he got promoted to a speaking part for the quick quip.
This was my absolute favorite scene!
Still the single funniest line ever
Fun fact: Insofar as I know, the fella who said "I'm not" was actually an extra and just said it. Because it hadn't been scripted, Terry Jones called him aside afterwards and asked if he'd mind if they used it? He responded with *No problem". To which Terry said "Well done, it's now a speaking part - you're getting paid more" and they kept it in. Sweet! Not least because it's been quoted (by us) so many times in various ways - "We're all part of the team here", "I'm not"......
Biggus Dickus was my favourite scene as a kid. I remember laughing so hard my sides hurt.
The peasant scene from The Holy Grail:
"I am your King"
"Well I didn't vote for you."
"What have the Romans ever done for us?!" is an awesome scene.
sadly overdone (I prefer "Ocelot's Spleens" / gladiators sketch) but youtube algorithms might result in more non-subscriber recommendations with "what have the romans ever done" - try to get a longer clip - it makes more sense.
t'was the womans , you brute, Shostak face... lions for you, i'd say.
"Sssthooo! Youw fathew wasth a Woman!"
Well…they gave us woads!!!
What have the Romans ever done for us - is a great scene.
Forgot about that one! Oh peace? Shut up! The whole film is simply brilliant.
I’m going to check it out 😊👍🏻
I need to watch the whole thing !
@@AMANDARAEUK i was going to request this one ,and of course ,'The Fish Slapping Dance'
I’d add it to my list!
So glad that Phyton is still watched and appreciated today!
good comedy prevails; i do hope your spelling dosesn't, 4441.
I think this is easily their best movie. Most people immediately say Holy Grail but I swear I laugh 10 times harder at this one.
My favorite is the scene where Brian writes "Go home Romans" on the wall. It is such a thoroughly British sketch.
Men dressed like women dressed like men - that so brilliant -
Ahem, Tootsie
Life of Brian is 3 years older than Tootsie
@@zapkvr I dont recall Tootsie sporting a beard. Tootsie was a man dressed as a woman. These are men, dressed as women who are disguised as men.
@@whichwaytoday5940 Well, back in Shakespeare' day...
Tootsie is just a man dressed as a woman. That is easy. To have male actors dressed as women pretending to be men takes it one step further!
These men were amazing with their comedy. Smart delivery, thought provoking, and a true joy to watch. We use to get these skits on the public access channel.
They were even more amazing when they were attacked by the conservative, religious right in Britain and around the world, and managed to display the utter hypocrisy of these old, white farts in heavy gowns. The TV debate with Cleese, Palin, Malcolm Muggeridge (a journalist and Christian Convertite) and Mervyn Stockwood (the then Bishop of Southwark), is still a classic in demonstrating religious hypocrisy, and I still believe that one debate did more to tear down the immense power of the church than anything else in history - perhaps with the exception of Irish comedian genius Dave Allen.
I have to say that "Life of Brian" is one of the funnies films ever mad. Probably, a British thing though.
I really want to watch it now 😊
@@AMANDARAEUK Tower of London for you if you don't.
@@AMANDARAEUK Then there is nothing stopping you
British, Kiwi, Oz, Canuks... and a few enlightened others?
@@AMANDARAEUK Agree, you have to watch it. Hopefully you are not of a nervous religious disposition. Provided you know your basic Christianity and bible stories, you should find it very funny
"He is not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!"
There’s a mess in here, all right but no messiah.
He's not coming out so piss off
40 odd years later, and this is STILL the funniest damn thing ever!!!
It's literally impossible to not love Monty Pythons Holy Grail from the opening scene to the closing scene.
It’s so funny!
Bizarrely, it seems only after LoB we've realised just how good Holy Grail actually was/is.....
Life of Brian's good but I think Holy Grail is more 'Python'.
He's not the messiah he's a very naughty boy
That bit cracks me up every time
@@lovevader4832 And me 😁
Brian,your father was NOT Mr Cohen....
😂
Well, we ARE all individuals.
Yes Monty python Is Very Funny, BUT What About The Spam Song," Egg Beens Sausage Toast Spam But Without The Spam'" !!!!!
Or The Goodies, e,' Marchel Art Of e" Ecki Thump " From Yorkshire, Or Michael Benntin's Potty Time, The Invisible Flee Circus, From The 1970's All Extremely Funny, And Very Entertaining,. I Recommend Any Of Them,.
The scene in "Holy Grail" where they are accusing a woman of being a witch. Very funny.
loved that - with Conny Francis (**edit** was actually Connie Booth - doh!!) who was in Fawlty Towers and married Cleese I think (at some point). Love the line "and very small pebbles" made really LOL every time I've seen it. Look at that line alone and HOW could it be funny.
How about a reaction to the reaction of spectators at the Isle of Man TT.
ua-cam.com/video/D3Ck0R1Ha_8/v-deo.html
It’s on the list, I’ve heard it’s mental!
@@AMANDARAEUK Oh hello Amanda... didn't expect a reply.... I'm not a subscriber but your videos pop up on my home screen so I watch them when they do. Well I'll have to subscribe so I don't miss your reaction if you do watch spectators first time reaction at the TT....and I'm a Geordie... I've haven't heard "belter" being used by anyone other than Geordies..and thinking about it..."belter" replaced "waxer'...
Glad to have you! 😊
"Don't just follow me blindly, you're all individuals!"
"We are all individuals!"
"I am not"
For me, that’s the best scene. Took a while to see if anyone would post it. Particularly with the “I’m not” at the end, just as RustyDust101 has pointed out.
@@RustyDust101 "Shh"
I'm not!
I'm not!
The entire film "And Now For Something Completely Different" was my first encounter with Python. Around 1978, where at school we had one of the first VHS video recorders. As a resources monitor I got to sit in the electronics storeroom where I could watch it often. I still find Python hilarious.
Monty Python - Towns women's guilds version of The attack on pearl harbour. Absolutely hilarious.
I haven’t heard about that one.. another one to the list! Lol
remember 'Gangs of Grannies?' lol :-D
My German cousin couldn't laugh about that one....
There's the "What have the Romans ever done for us" and the "Loretta" sketch which is suprisingly more relevant to today's society.
I’ll add it to my list! 😊
@@AMANDARAEUK "What have the Romans ever done for us" you'll still hear people quote that today, but Romans being changed.
"He's not the Messiah. He's been a very naughty boy."
One of the best movies, in my top five.
Biggus Dickus......Then his wife...Ohh.
i can practically say everything along with them in Brian, my fave MP! '..throw him to the floor again?' 'Oh yes, throw him to the floor.' lol! n that 'yell' Graham gives out when smacked!
Incontinetia!
And lots more Python from the seventies. In the evening once a week the whole RAF station came to a halt for thirty minutes for Monty Python.
Far too risky now, not PC enough!
I have seen Monty Pyton's "Biggus Dickus" I believe a 100 times here on UA-cam. It's priceless! Absolutely hilarious! Go for it....!
You missed a bit of context. As no women were allowed at stonings, the market had a beard seller so they could disguise themselves. That's why they keep having to lower their voices.
I just need to watch the whole thing! Haha
Also all the women were men actors acting as women pretending to be men.
"Two pointy ones and a bag of gravel"
@@johnsimmons5951 I think you might lose her getting into the ‘Pantomime dame’ aspect 😆
@@thetoffeedigger I thought it was “2 points, 2 flats and a packet of gravel”😂😂😂
Ref: Monty Python. Try "The Fish Slapping Dance"!
I will! Thank you! 😊
Yes that is classic comedy
It is the very first bit from their very first broadcast.
Its so stupidly perfect!!!!!
@@AMANDARAEUK After that, try "The Dead Parrot" sketch and "The Argument" sketch. You'll probably find that so many odd things that people have said since you've been in the UK will have their point of origin in those two sketches (this goes doubly for your husband, since he's a Python fan).
The constitutional peasant from The Holy Grail is comedy genius!
The scene where Brian falls from the tower into the spaceship is brilliant!
monty python has been shaping me since i was about 8 years old. i can never get tired of it. in fact, i have a theory about monty python. my theory, which is my theory, and is mine, and what it is too, is...
'..and the number being 3, 3 being the number, that shall count, and the number bein 3..' lol :-)xo
the scene where graffiti is painted on a wall and the Roman centurion catches him, and points out he actually misspelt Latin words so teaches him and gives him 100 lines as punishment.
rementioned above by @Christopher Rehfeldt - I replied to that post.
People don't look through all posts - so it happens
They weren't misspelled. The grammar was incorrect e.g. verb conjugation, aspect etc.
Well ok. then I need to do some lines . Now where is that centurion?
@@mrkimble2618 I'm sorry.I suppose I shouldn't show my ignorance. I do try 'though.
...thus helping Brian to achieve his goal of spreading his message! A very welcomed "punishment" for Brian...
The Morecambe and Wise "Andre Preview" sketch is a must.
I agree.
I love Amanda, she totally gets British humour
Yes she is OK. Like her
Amanda has been here long enough, probably feels more English than American now
One of my favourites is The Killer Rabbit scene from The Holy Grail.
Faulty Towers the German episode is a total classic for me
I haven’t seen it, I’ll add it to my list! 😊
@@AMANDARAEUK Yes it is fantastic! 'Don't mention the war'!
Is this anything to do with “Fawlty Towers”..?
Saw it yesterday
The Germans is a must 😆
Years ahead of their time.
I've laughed at these more than anything throughout my life. Legendary.
They’re so funny!
I don't think it's ahead of its time. I doubt it could be made in today's political correctness climate.
I suppose by ahead of their time you mean all comedy is that good now?
@@peterhenningsen9440 They couldn't even do it at the end of the 70s climate, had it not for George Harrison putting up the money for the film's production.
If ya don't love Monty, you're dead inside....
The Biggus Dickus scene is probably the funniest scene I've ever seen. I also love the Upper Class Twit of the Year sketch which, as one who went to public school, is all too real.
So many people have said that’s their favourite scene!
The "Falling out of a tower and being scooped up by a passing UFO" hit me the hardest. I was in shock and lost my breath laughing. A great movie to watch more than once. "Always look on the bright side of death".
I need to watch the whole film !
@@AMANDARAEUK Yes you definitely do
The Latin lesson Brian gets from a Centurian. Best scene in the movie and Cleese plays the Centurian.
My son has A* Latin (UK school qualification at 18 for those not in UK) but I don't know if this clip pushed him to go that high :)
Romanes eunt domus? People called Romanes, they go the house?
@@JugSouthgate comentarii ite domum!
And then for a "punishment" he was ordered to write out the corrections 100 times - thus helping Brian to achieve his goal of spreading his message!
The 'Biggus Diccus' is one, if not the best scene in the movie, so I think you should avoid watching that until you react to the whole movie.
@@sn47az Do you know what she's called?
@@sn47az Incontinenia Buttocks!!
yes really enjoy the 'Biggus Diccus' scene, I think she should watch the whole movie rather than watching it in bit scenes.
He commands a cwack legion.
Funniest thing about that was the Roman centurions were extras that were they wouldn't get paid if they broke! 😂😂
This is too cute, a beautiful lady laughing at the most funny stuff in the world :D
🤣😊
My fav scene is the Latin grammar lesson. Oh how the memories flooded back.
Me too ...
Someone has already written it, but I agree. Life of Bryan, the sketch with Caesar, Bryan and the Centurian and “Biggus Dickus”.
The black knight fight from The Holy Grail, The Knights who say nee.
you have no power over me with nee or noo
it's ni
ni ni ni :D
There are so many quips to be taken from just this one movie showing the genius of the Python teams writing and comic timing.
It's the comedic absurdity of Python that always gets me : a customer going into a cheese shop rhyming off 2 dozen different types of cheese and the vendor admitting at the end that he doesn't have any cheese!!!!
Mr Arthur Wensleydale was the proprietor I believe...
Years ago during my Army service we marched to the theme from MPFC - aka The Liberty Bell. Sure enough at the final pace, just as we halted someone blew a raspberry. RSM was livid and had the Sergeants ensure it didn't happen again. Months later I learnt they all joked about it in the Sergeants Mess - the RSM lost a bet on if someone would do it "on my bloody parade ground".
🤣🤣🤣!!!
Brilliant……thanks for that! x
Had a similar experience when in the Reserves in Australia. We had a parade and ex members of the unit were present. At the end we marched off to the tune of Alte Kameraden (Old Comrades) myself and a couple of others let out a stifled laugh as it used to be played at the end of the Goon Show rather badly. Needless to say we had to explain ourselves later.
"My friend Biggovs Dickovs came all the way from Wome."
And he may be of thome athithtance!
And his wife incontinetia 😂
Yes, flow him to the floah.
The Mr. Creosote scene in Monty Python's Meaning of Life is so funny and disgusting at the same time. Showed it to my kids when they were about 10-11 years old. They loved it
"FUKK OFF, I'm full" - myself and my youngest still do that one at weddings etc. Always fun (although she still tends to say "you realise we've embarrassed both of us" afterwards. We've no intentions of stopping....).
"Throw him to the floor again sir" "Oh yes throw him to the floor, please"
Thwow him on the floor :-D
I think pilatus in the german version has a funnier speaking problem...
You should check out the black night scene in holy grail! So so funny
"'Tis but a scratch..."
I think you mean Black Knight. After all, most nights are black and not particularly funny.
Hahah!! 😂
"All right, we'll call it a draw."
Best of MP?
- The dead parrot
- Ministry of silly walks
- Interesting people
- The Spanish Inquisition
Just to name a few obvious ones.
I’ve heard great things about the dead parrot scene
"NOBODY Expects the Spanish Inquisition!" One of my favorites for sure!
Undertaker’s Sketch
“If you feel bad about it later; we’ll dig a hole and you can throw up into it”
“No one is to stone anyone until I blow this whistle “ 😆 like it’s a sport
Very British!
This is a great scene and there are so many of them. The stuttering in the “Bigus Dickus” scene is simply the best.
That scene was just had me in tears.
I love the Judean People's Front Vs the People's Front of Judea scene as it lampoon's the absurdity of different warring sects within a religion.
And the absurdity of different warring sects within the Labour Party.
@@timonsolus I'm not seeing the Labour party connection.
@@Smoking_Joe : Old Labour vs New Labour. Corbyn style traditional hard left socialism vs Blair style centre left socialism. That divide has existed in the Labour Party since before Blair.
@@timonsolus I get that bit.......They're a right bunch of numpties......I just don't see the Labour Party connection to that scene.
But yeah, all internal battles i suppose.....that film just focuses on religion though.
On release, this film was condemned by religious factions (who had not viewed the film) and indeed banned by many local councils. Cinemas showing it were picketed by protesting nuns and Rabbi's waving placards. When I witnessed this, it was so Pythonesque and bizarre, I thought it was a publicity stunt!
The 'Bigus Dickus' scene is one I never tire of. It was purported that the Roman soldiery extras were not aware of the scene's script beforehand and their reaction was genuine.
So many people said that’s their favourite scene!
Lance Percival was a comedy actor who played the soldier who was nose to nose with Michael Palin during the "Do you find it ..... Wizzible?" bit. You can hear Palin is almost gone at this point and turns away from the camera.
The Kamikaze Highlanders always cracks me up. They train for suicide missions, so part of the program is for each one to jump from a tower to his death.
I’ve not heard of that!
Biggus Dickus, even though I've seen it 2000 times, still makes my eyes water. 🤣
Hilarious! 🤣🤣
@@AMANDARAEUK the german version is even funnier in that regard because of the speach impairment pilatus has

If I ever fail to laugh at this scene then I will know its time for me to leave this mortal coil. Hilawious Amanda Wae.
You might want to check out " The Dead Parrot Sketch / The Lumberjack Song"
"How Not to be Seen" was my introduction to Monty Python. It's still one of my favorites:

Great vid, classic film. My fave clip, the start with the wise men. Sets the scene for the whole film.
I need to watch the whole film!
Favourites include from the The Holy Grail: French Castle Guards, Wooden Trojan Animal, Knights Who Say Nee ...
Grew up with Monty Python.
In fact, in 9th grade in English class (I'm Norwegian, we were set to watch Monty Python's Holy Grail.
And write our own version as home assignment.
I bet that was interesting !
The Holy Hand Grenade.
Cleese isn’t just the guy from Fawlty Towers. He wrote Fawlty Towers and is one of the great comic talents of the 20th century. What I love about this scene, other than it being really funny, is how it sends up the tendency of the self righteous to go after anybody even when they’re on the same side.
Re. the last line here - that was certainly evident during the French Revolution!
To this very day, this film remains to me the single funniest i've ever seen.
lol!!
Good lord your voice audio is freak’n fantastic!! Totally random clicked on your video, first time seeing you and I never knew my iPad could sound so good, I literally looked around the room to make sure I hadn’t accidentally connected to my TV speakers.
Thank you, it’s much appreciated! 😊 👍🏻
Hope you’re well!
I absolutely love when Brian jumps off the tower while escaping the centurions, lands inside a passing space ship, and after a space battle that causes the ship to crash, emerges in time to have the centurions continue the chase. The space interlude makes no sense whatsoever but that's what makes it so funny. It's as if the movie took a small break to enter insanity and then returned to the story.
'And now for something completely different' moto encapsulate into the movie. Also the hammer the builder loses is mentioned by the preacher at the market later on in the movie. It was his friends hammer.
Actually this was all Terry Gilliam the rest of the cast did not know he was going to do this at all
"Oh you lucky bastard."
*Brian shrugs his shoulders*
I thought that was satirising those who think that extra-terrestrials had somehow intervened in history, especially in religious events. I recall as a teenager in the 80s (that dates me) reading a strange book which argued that the 'manna' imentioned in the Bible had been produced from a nuclear-powered food synthesiser provided by extra-terrestrials. It was a serious book, not a joke.
@@lbailey9607 that's a dead end mate. Nothing of the sort. Tbh if you think the technology we have now is anything to go by then consider that it's taken less then 100 years to get from steam engines to touch screen phones so erm... what happened in the few thousand years beforehand? Nothing new under the sun as they say. There's a serious possibility that what we think is high tech is actually old tech, really old... I know it sounds crazy but seriously think about it for a minute. Who knows I might be right.
I like the Terry Gilliam animation which shows the silhouette of three wooden crosses on a hill in the sunset, and as the picture zooms in, it become clear that they are three telegraph poles. I think that this one was lost or destroyed after people complained about it, but it was extremely funny.
I love how Americans say python. They pronounce it PIE THON. really cute and funny 😄
How do Brits say it? " POYTHIN"? Or is that more Aussie sounding?
Python has been delightful since I first saw their TV show in the early 70s. They have many silly bits that are favorites. In this movie, the scene that seems to never get old is the 'Biggus Dickus' segment.
Everyone says that! 👍🏻👍🏻
Apparently the extras were told that they were not allowed to laugh - if they did they wouldn't be paid! And the whole scene was unrehearsed!
Monty Python's Flying Circus: Parrot Sketch. Have fun.
,,Argument room'', one of the best sketches.
🤣👌🏻
The guard scene with, Bigus Dickus when they're all trying not to laughing is pure comedy gold 😬👊🏼
The Holy Grail "The Black Knight" bloody brilliant.
The end of the film where they are being crucified and yet feel the need to sing "always look on the bright side of life"
I love just before that the crack suicide squad comes to the rescue by killing themselves in protest. I think the dying leader even says, "That'll show them.", thinking they really achieved something.
Dennis the anarcho-syndicalist versus king Arthur is a classic.
Did you see him repressing me?
Favourite scene is the whole bit that leads one guy to call Brian a lucky bastard.
Watching your reaction to Python is like reliving the experience myself. Thanks!
Pretty sure that's the way most of us in the UK see the US Bible Belt.

Don't you dare let him change the way you pronounce some words. That difference is what makes your posts so enjoyable to watch.
Brian being bought before Cesar, the Bigus Dicus scene. Excellent 👍👍
Two Pythons are in The Four Yorkshiremen sketch, which is an absolute must-see!
I don't know where to start but a personal favourite is"The Lumberjack Song." Watch any film though.
I haven’t heard about that one!
@@AMANDARAEUK There are a few Monty Python films. Some are just sketch shows but try and find it on UA-cam. I am Lumberjack and I'm okay. The dead parrot sketch and many others. Just sit and watch the lot.
@@AMANDARAEUK I'd recommend you take that clip from the compilation movie 'And now for something completely' as it replaced the lesser Barbershop sketch lead in with the classic Pet shop/dead parrot sketch.
Monty Python: The Killer Joke by Ernest Scribbler.
yes please!!!!
Oh yes! My favorite!
Try the, it's only a flesh wound, from the holy grail 😅🤣😂
I grew up watching Monty Python both the Flying Circus and all of the movies. Some of my favorites Confuse a cat, The Lumberjack song, Military fairy, Spam and many others
Lumberjack song is hilarious!
Of course he's the messiah... and I should know, I've followed a few !
He's not the Messiah, he's a Very Naughty boy!!!
Women played by men pretending to be men. And then there's a scene in the movie with a man (Eric Idle) who wants to be a woman because he wants to have babies.
Keep it in a box...
Does this not remind you of the bollocks that SJW’s are trying to stuff down our necks on the cross-dressers and mentally confused who believe that just because they say they are women they are?

👍😂.
Love this film and goes to show how great comedy can show things for what they really are, like this scene which illustrates how folk can take the whole blasphemy thing far to far. Still quite pertinent in these ‘modern times’ sadly.
I like the Loretta scene! As well as the scene where Brian writes "Romans go home!" And this one. Such a funny play on the tetragrammaton.
if you watch the "Biggus Diggus" scene, you should know that the extras dressed as soldiers did not knew the script (because they had no line to say) , but had been instructed to NOT laugh by any means ... so their desperate struggle not to ruin the filming is very very real... and that is how savage Palin, Cleese and Chapman were
That must have been so difficult! 🤣
Best thing they did imo. You ought to watch the whole film it's really funny.
I plan to, so many people rave about it! 😊
And now for something completely different.
Marching up and down the square - probably my all time fav. sketch
In Belfast, religious people protested outside the cinema that was showing Life of Brian saying it was blasphemy and when asked which part was blasphemous they replied that they hadn’t seen the film they just knew that it was blasphemy. It was just like a scene from Monty Python. It was hilarious.
And they banned it in Norway for just that reason so the advertisement in Sweden was:
Come see the movie to fun to bee shown in Norway!
"Life of Brian" is a comic gem.
I've seen it so many times, but it still makes me laugh.
They really know how to lampoon the absurdities of religion and history.
Imagine someone daring to do this to Islam? 😱
Probably my favourite scene from the films themselves is the "we have found a witch," scene from "Monty Python and The Holy Grail."
I don’t see that happening; a while ago South Park made an episode about Muhammad and Comedy Central made them censor the hell out of it because they got death threats.
Real Christians can take a joke, if it is actually funny. Many of the UK clergy, myself included split their sides laughing at Monty Python. I have found over the years that a good way to re-launch a sermon, is to inject "and now for something completely different" before resuming. A visitor who was laughing afterwards said " I should have known you were a Pythonist"
Dear Amanda, Monty Python’s ‘Black Knight’ sketch from their Holy Grail movie will probably have you in tears of laughter. Best wishes 🙂
I watched it last night, it was absolutely brilliant, my eyes were watering the entire time 😂😂
I love the grammar lesson delivered to Brian by the Garrison guard. "..now write it 100 times!"
the two guards appear to be half asleep. Maybe this event is an everyday thing.. Mob rule, well illustrated. I agree with you in that John C. is very good at this type of humor. Thanks for your reactions...
