Look, I know that word gets thrown around a lot to compensate for a limited vocabulary but "predict" is really not the word you're looking for. The word you're looking for is "popularized" because much of the "random" and "incoherent" (which are also not the words you're looking for) humor you refer to ultimately pays homage to Monty Python.

Incorrect, my friend. The main Knight says "I cannot tell, suffice to say is one of the words the KNIGHTS OF NI cannot hear." He doesn't say their new name, he says the old name. If you're going to quibble with details, pay attention to those details.
I was in french class the other day, and we learned that there's a time when you'd say "ni" in a sentence. I was chucking so hard in the back of the class that I had to explain to my french teacher what the hell i was laughing so hard about XDDD
The Knights missed the word 'it' when someone said 'it's Robin'. They also missed when 'it' was sang by the guy who was walking behind behind Robin as he sang 'He's jacking it in and packing it up...'

Okay, so in order to understand this, you need to know the history of the English language. In old English their where three forms of the word "no". No, was used only in the numerical sense, i.e. "I have no apples." The second form, "nay" was used in most instances where we use no. The third form of no was "ni" which had the added implication that the person was offended or insulted by whatever they where responding to. The closest equivalent in modern English would be the phrase "fuck no". Peng is an interesting one, it means "to occur in the present tense", and is the root of the suffix "ing". The phrase "It's happening" would've originally been "It hath happen in peng" before becoming "happen in'g" and finally "happening" "Ni-wah" appears in some anglo saxon poems and appears to describe the sound frogs make. And then of course there's "is" which wasn't in old english. The old english form was "hath". "Is" entered english from french at a later date.
All that text, only to make the _biggest_ mistake right in the very first sentence. You don't need to know any of this at all to understand and/or appreciate the joke. Also I'm going to point out *[citation needed]* because you're not providing any sort of source, and I have in my linguistic studies never heard of an Old English "ni" that's supposed to be an offensive "no". As far as I know English has always had a four-system with yes-no ( giese - nā ); and yea-nay ( gea - ne/nic ). Where yes-no is used to answer negative questions, and yea-nay answer positive questions. None of them are some sort of offensive exclamation. This is pretty standard/common knowledge from (Old) English, if you're going to deviate from that and make claims like _you_ did, you really should cite where you're getting it from, so we know it's not your arse. _[1] George Perkins Marsh (1867).

John Cleese says explicitly in the link below, that the whole sketch (which is amazing by the way) means absolutely nothing.

Monty python has effectively predicted the modern humor of being as random and incoherent as possible.
