Back in the 70's, in Jr. High, one of my elective courses was The Age of Chivalry. My teacher had heard that a movie about King Arthur would be televised over the weekend and we would be given extra credit if we watched it. The following Monday morning, as we sat in class, our teacher began profusely apologizing, but it was too late. I had become a Python.
That’s so cool! I feel like back then things were simpler. Just “this is going to be televised” and not watching a movie where the entire plot is already online. Not to mention the teacher would be emailing everyone as soon as it premiered and not on Monday. Makes me nostalgic for something I’ve only heard about haha
Earthquakes are clearly a geological phenomenon, you English peasant type, and a large number of sheep bladders can be used to verify if you are in Wales, a geographical feat saving you lots of time when the banana shaped earth is causing you trouble again.

Terry Jones was one for certain.

"A swallow needs to beat its wings 43 times a second." I wonder if he meant "Minute," and they just rolled with it?
One wing beat per 1.4 seconds seems awfully slow for a swallow, either African or European. Maybe for an albatross (9 pence)...
One medieval second is equal to one modern Minute.
In England seconds are metric.

That "...mind your own business!" gets me every time.
Probably there to avenge their pet monkey hung by that coastal village.

The scene of Lancelot being arrested would be Criminal Justice
And I feel so much smarter now, and because I feel so much smarter; I am so much smarter. That's how it works now days.
👌
Honestly this whole movie is different majors interacting
As an Engineering major, both Engineering and Math were spot on
2:52 I can confirm this. When I was in college, nursing students tended to be ridiculously hot.
4:42 I was in linguistics and we would unironically do that a lot.
I did not realize that that Monty Python was a documentary. So prophetic!
No matter how you slice and dice it, I never can get enough of Monty Python :-D
"Mind your own business!" Is one of my favorite parts
yes, kind of how ethnic Brits are treated today when they question the presence of their new replacements... I mean neighbors.
The engineering one is pretty accurate.
I was so looking forward to meteorology, “bloody weather.”
My favorite subtle joke is that scene 24 isn't actually the 24th scene.
From what my friends tell me that single bit of the animator dying can work for both IT and computing!
What about the plague? “bring out your dead.”
One of the best movies of all time.
“Winter changed into Spring, Spring changed into Summer, Summer changed back into Winter, and Winter gave Spring and Summer a miss and went straight on into Autumn.”
Sounds like a week in Louisiana
I like how the Engineering one is them realizing the entire design was pointless.
LMAO but forgot horticulture: "bring me a shrubbery" scenes
Fun fact the programming language Python was named after this
i love the bit where its just 'the animator suffered a fatal heart attack'
As per my chemistry professor: bombs! Drugs! This is why people go into chemistry!
That man is such a character
I am so glad you included “and that, my Lord, is how we know the world is banana shaped”
Can you imagine what didn't make the final cut of this Film? This movie is non stop brilliance from beginning to end and this is their first Film!
I still want to see what they had for that big battle at the end, had they not run out of money.
Ah, the Holy Grail. Monty Python's best work... I should watch that movie again, it's been a while.
"I''m French! Why do you think i have this outrageous accent, you silly King?" Yes , most kings are silly.
The guy in the dungeon clapping along to the Camelot song cracks me up every time.
THE LINGUISTICS ONE WAS SO ACCURATE
As someone who actually studies English literature,I approve 🤌🏻
The linguistics they had was rather more phonetics 😂
As a mathematician I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with the English lit guy and approve of this video.
"No no aaa at the back of the throat" had me rolling. Phonetics can be a bit ridiculous at times. I often start laughing in the middle of the class

I just remember how Tim became a normal human being after 'that' scene.

I have to push the pram a lot
performing arts is actually very accurate
budget and all
Nordic Studies: the entire mööse bit at the beginning
Could have included “where’d you get the coconut?” scene for physics. I would also like an in-depth analysis of the different stereotypical behaviors tied to the different regional accents.
Fun fact most of you may know- almost every castle in this movie is a different room/angle of a certain castle in Scotland, called Doune Castle
Arresting them at the end should have been Criminal Studies.
Left out veterinarian studies, with the bunny.
What kind of bunny have the most mean and cruel teeth? Look at those bones!?
That's no ordinary rabbit
As a kinesiology grad the fact that our cadaver’s biceps spontaneously split apart doesn’t help prove that wrong 😅
I will certainly take the Biology one, this is so good (oviously Monty Python but also the edit)
That Linguistics one is just perfect
I "Feel" like I just watched the Evening News on one of the MSM Channels.
Since everyone else is throwing in suggestions for the last year, here's mine: Bridge of death (scene 24) - Logic and Reasoning/Philosophy.
Now I think that makes enough for a Part 2. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more, say no more.
This movie was ahead of its time. It's just non stop memes.
Just goes to prove the genius
I never went to college or university, but I imagine this is exactly how it would have been. And probably lots of alcohol, I'm sure.
