I’ve seen this movie over 20 times and it’s just today that I noticed Sir Lancelot is wearing a helmet during the entire scene because John Cleese is playing Tim. Didn’t do a double shoot like they usually do 😂
The best part is. He forgot the name he was supposed to say. It was supposed to be something long and extravagant. So he just improvised and said Tim and they rolled with it.

The country is wild and inhospitable. Suddenly some of them see fire in the distance and ride towards it.

ARTHUR What manner of man are you that can conjure up fire without flint or tinder? TIM I am an enchanter. ARTHUR looks at BEDEVERE. ARTHUR By what name are you known?

In the first known draft from early 1973 he wasn't called Tim as the character hadn't yet been conceived. But the moment the character appears, he is always called 'Tim' and nothing else. In the audio commentary for the DVD, at no point does any Python suggest that the name was supposed to be a long one. Cleese himself only says he and Chapman wrote the Tim sequence, and they thought the name was funny as its likeness to 'timid' and 'timorous' suggests an inherent lack of courage. ('Fantastic' (adjective). Definition: 1 a: Based on fantasy. Not real.) 'What an eccentric performance!' wasn't in the script. Whether Chapman's delivery of that line in the film was ad-libbed, I'm not so sure, but the line seems to have been added/written whilst on location.
The best part is that Tim is so extremely random in this conversation, and spit fire left and right without really a purpose. But all of the sudden he goes all in dramaticly explanation mode about how they get the holy grail :D
I think the best part of this is the urban myth going around about the name Tim people seem to have trouble believing it could be so simple in the actual script, but keep in mind both the age of the movie and the fact that the Pythons we are talking about.
Anyone else play D&D and use Tim as a main influence on your character? Anyone use Tim as a main influence on your self without playing any damned games?
brianwesley28 And Astrology is a relic of a primitive time in human history where magical thinking, backward mystism and irrationality reigned supreme.
Imagine trying to get into an advanced conversation around Religion, Astrology, and what the fuck ever on a Monty Python video about Tim the Enchanter who just likes to blow shit up for fun. You’re all a bunch of talking monkeys, embrace it.
''You know my name'' English: "I do'' French subtitles: "Yes'' English ''You know much that is hidden, oh Tim'' English: ''Quite'' French: ''You know a lot of secrets, Tim'' French: ''Yes'' Translation does fuck up things and small nuances...
@@excelente81 Thank you! This is well documented in IMDB and other sources. Cleese has said repeatedly that he did NOT ad lib that line. Never let facts get in the way of a good story, I guess.
let's be honest anyone with fire powers would be exactly like Tim
Your absolutely right.
Not only that, but summon fireworks as well. The explosive teleportation is impresssive.
To put it into Tim's words, "quite"
@@JadedMuse_ you're...
it brings me great joy knowing that tim was completely ad libbed because john cleese completely forgot the actual name
😂😂😂
Fun fact; my husband, Tim, introduced himself by saying "there are some who call me Tim" 🤣
As he should. If there was a good quote I could reference with my name, I definitely would
F
As any man (named Tim) worth his flint and tinder should.
In the form of a question I hope
He enchanted you. Are you sure you are not under some kind of spell?
The fact that "there are some who call me Tim" is said almost like a question is hilarious.
Well, the actor forgot the character's name.
It was hilarious as heck😂😂
Him randomly bazooking the tree and they way he says G-R-R-R-RAIL?! Is nothing short of brilliance
i wonder how they made that rocket.
I bet half the budget went into this once scene, lol
Budget?
That comes with the infamous black monster of Aaargh
Everyone in the film wanted to watch the scene so all the budget went into said scene
This scene is why the film ran out of money
No, it was scene 26 a brilliant scene
There are some who call me...... Tim?...
bguzewi0 Quite.

Tim the Enchanter seems to focus more on evoking than enchanting. xD
He enchants people with his evocation :D
Fun fact: he forgot his name, so he introduced himself as Tim and they went with it
Let’s all be honest: if we could make explosions with our minds, most of our days would be spent doing exactly what Tim was doing
He was out in the middle of BFE to do just that so he wouldn't be responsible for burning down Library's and villages.
What an eccentric performance!
‘With sharrrrp pointy teeth!!’
- John Cleese 1975
Megadeth- chosen ones is a song about this
1:09 I love the way all the knights clap. So very English! :)
Tim is just Megumin's grand-dad.
omg YES
Good one 🤣
say it don't spray it Tim
Thay it dont thpray it
When I hear someone say "Quite", I think 1:13. Every time.
That's good news, since whenever I say "Quite", this is the vibe I'm going for.
Everyone says their favorite part is the adlibbed Tim, but mine has to be @ 3:31 ... `Death awaits you all with nasty big pointy teeth`
It’s not ad lib. Tim was always in the script.
The Tim joke was great, because I was expecting the name Merlin. MP at their best xD
What an eccentric performance
If I play Skyrim again will call my DB ‘Tim the Enchanter’ due to my use of my favourite elemental burst spell!!
The best part is. He forgot the name he was supposed to say. It was supposed to be something long and extravagant. So he just improvised and said Tim and they rolled with it.
that's fantastic and makes this scene better

TIM
I am an enchanter.
ARTHUR looks at BEDEVERE.

A great wizard with a mundane name like Tim or Paul or Derek is just hilarious

Some urban myths just won't die. This is patently false.
The funniest film in the history of cinema

0:45 When the GM has to improvise
Lets be honest in addition to being hilarious this was a very well made film. The cinematography in the opening shots are phenomenal
Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:
Tim: “A GRAAAAAILLL?!”
What an eccentric performance! Indeed!
Prodigal Sorcerer in all his glory
Blue weenie deck magic
Aged like wine
My favourite scene of the movie
This scene must be the reason why they had to use coconuts instead of horses.
I believe this was the inspiration for Megumin xD
Tim was by far the best character in the movie!!
Quite.
What an eccentric performance!
MPHG *_ROX_*!
You seek the holy grrrrrill
MAGICALLY SETS OFF ARSONIC FIRES YET SCARED BY A KILLER BUNNY. LOL
Hahaha.. Always been Hilarious.. how he keeps exploding things hahaha .
...so brave knights.. if you *DO DOUBT* your courage...
Tim is my favourite character in this movie.
Is this megumin?
Nah, Megumin's explosions are *much* bigger, but she blows her load with the first shot.
This is my Diablo 4 character.
The first time Tim the Enchanter suddenly blew himself up got me wheezing.
Timmy with the beard
A GRRAAIIILLLLLLL???? 😂
I’d be so careless with Tim’s powers. Just shooting off fireballs in the middle of town, scaring the entire populace
I watched that like a thousand times and its still funny xD
I just learned that Denmark and France has same syllable for Cave and Formidable xD
Quite...!!
Wonder if Tim had to find a flower, like Mario, to spew that fire too..
You know much that is hidden, O Tim
quite
I found a relative on Ancestry DNA called CallMeTim I thought it might be John Cleese. He is just as eccentric though :)
Tim is my true love's dad's name.:):):)
Ulf in Bedweer - hilarious !
“QUITE”
A What...?
"you're a busy man"
There are those who call me.... tim?
Cracks me up when he warns them. BUT!! and they all kind of flynch.. that and Nasty big pointy teeth...
What a STRANGE person……
My friend once drew me a portrait of this guy with the "there are some who call me... Tim?" quote. I had it framed.
My name is.... Tim
Is this megumin as dude?
Nah, Megumin's explosions are *much* bigger, but she blows her load with the first shot.
*Quite!"
There are some who call me..Tim
EXPLOSION!!!!
Some who call me..... Tim?
Anyone else play D&D and use Tim as a main influence on your character? Anyone use Tim as a main influence on your self without playing any damned games?
A GRAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIILLLLLLL?!?
John Cleese absolutely crushes this scene
Tim the Enchanter is an Aquarian archetype.
