"When the actors got this script..."
The actors WROTE this script.
Yup...
LOL, was thinking the same thing. They also pay for the movie! LOL.
I liked this before I even watched the video
@@KamuiPan Actually most of the film was financed by George Harrison and Led Zeppelin
@@TheJthom9 i thought it was Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Genesis. Never heard G H did.
The ending is LITERALLY a Cop Out. That's the joke.
Oh shit I never actually put that together.
Oh fuck XD didn't realize that
Ditto with the other two replies. I never caught the joke, and I’ve watched this countless times.
It was a fair cop, though.
Well the grail never has been found if it even existed in the first place. how can they show it without loosing it again like they did in the third movie of a well known franchise
It's funny how many people actually care about the "story" and get annoyed by the ending.
The ending is one of the funniest parts.
It is funny how many people don’t seem to grasp from the beginning that the story is second to the comedy
There's no "gratification" in the end cause the gratification is the sillyness throughout.
@@iqchank2106 The real gratification is the jokes we've made along way.
right? it's the journey, not the destination. ;)
Graham Chapman yelling "Jesus Christ!" as Arthur will never get old.
Agreed 😂😂😂😂
I wonder if he said that when he got to heaven!
*still* the way i say it in exclamation to this day
When she asked “is this going to get weirder” who else nodded their head saying yes
Vigorously
I just had a wide smile lol
Monty Python was a comic troop. It's a spoof... i laughed my ass off that you didn't get it.
I smiled and tapped the side of my nose.
I believe I said "Oh, baby, you have NO idea . . . "
"This is the stupidest shit I've ever seen!"
Me: Yeah, great isnt it!
Great innit?
Best movie ever made ? You must be American ?
@Thomas Kearse a bit like your president
That the all propose of Monty Python the stupidiest the best
Right!! Love this movie it's a classic
The African or European swallow joke is one of the most exquisitely executed setup and payoffs to a joke ever. It's brought up in the opening scene, referenced twice to remind you it happened, then pays off in the Bridgekeeper scene. It's fantastic.
And that's all the satisfying closure we get in lieu of a proper ending lol
"On camera, for free? I raised you better'n that. That was half a beer out my nose.
That was the best part ;)
It was a lot funnier than the movie.
"I don't know who Monty Python is."
My gawd, she actually said that. It's like saying I didn't know England had a queen.
Pink Floyd is my favorite rock star!
It's like thinking "Pink Floyd" is the name of a person in the band.
@@PaperbackWizard I had a boss in her 60s who used to try to trigger us by saying, "I'm pretty hip. Pink Floyd's my man!"
England has a queen?!
I thought of that Pink Floyd tune: "Oh by the way, which one's Pink?"
"Why do I feel like I just got Rickrolled?"
Because you did. That's exactly what happened.
I've seen this in the local theatre twice, and it's always hilarious watching people who haven't seen it sitting there in confusion at the end, that and the few who get up at the "intermission" having to get back in their seat.
The ending was a rickroll before rickrolling was a thing 😂
rickrolled like you rolled through Atlanta! right general
one night you drink too much and the whole world never forgets it
@@SAVikingSA well who ever heard of an abandoned city with a full alcohol store anyways
“Who’s that?”
Me: “There are some who call him.... Tim”
I gather John Cleese actually just forgot the name they had come up with for the character, so he ad libbed that name and they just went with it.
@@STNeish Incorrect. The Pythons weren't improvisers, and "Tim" is very obviously a deliberate punchline.
😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣
@@STNeish John Cleese himself stated there was absolutely no improv in the entire movie. Everything was done according to script.
"I fart in your general direction". I remember sitting around in college, in the 1970s, laughing our asses off recalling this film and all it's crazy funny one liners. "Strange women, lying around in ponds, handing out swords is no basis for a form of government"! It's funnier talking about it, than actually watching it. So Great!
Life lesson: Never take Monty Python seriously.
Or life for that matter. They're wholesome!
@@Torrriate "Never take life too seriously; you'll never get out of it alive." B. Bunny
@@ThatsMrPencilneck2U
Are you Finnish btw.?
@@Torrriate Why would you think that? B. Bunny is an American thing. They used to constantly run and rerun WB cartoons in the 70's and 80's, and they never got old.
@@ThatsMrPencilneck2U
There's a Finnish proverb stating that 'nobody's gotten out from life alive'. It suits their cynical humor. Nevermind, American it is then!
The best part "Why didn't they take their horses? Oh, they left them on the other mountain, that's why." You have completely bought into the absurdity of the film at this point.
😂😂😂😂
She also asked how they got to shore from Castle Auugh without taking the boat back.
They were actually carried across the water by an otherwise unladen African swallow.
"A bunny!"
...
(Me smiling my ass off waiting for it to happen)
At least she recognized it's a trojan bunny. There are reactors who don't even see that.
I love that none of them could have killed the historian, because the one who killed him was the only one in the entire movie who had a real horse. The ending was a literal cop out, it's just so brilliant
No horses in this movie, they couldn't afford them.
There was one. The guy who killed the historian was riding on one.
Honestly, them not being able to afford horses just made the movie better with the jokes that came from it.
But all the animals trown from the castle :-)
@@danmckenzie1818 Which is how we know that none of the cast were responsible!
Monty Python crew did this for years on their Flying Circus TV show, they don't give AF about looking stupid.
actually they do, its the whole point in a way.
Looking stupid was sort of the goal, even. I mean just watch Upper Class Twit of the Year :)
That is the point. It is nonsense comedy.
@@wojecire Yep. Case in point, The Ministry of Silly Walks! watch?v=eCLp7zodUiI
And rarely if ever "closed" a sketch. it just wasn't their style.
You nailed the motto of Python right out of the gate with your "What the F am I watching?!"
"And now for something completely different."
She gets bonus points for coining the term "cow-a pulting". :)
No, it should have been cattlepulting
@@patsk8872 Bovine Intervention
Trying to find logic in that movie is like trying to find a witch who weights more than a duck.
With a fanfare of butt trumpets.
I 100% agree.
a group of wackjobs start larping in the forest pretending to be kings and on a quest but they actually kill each other and no one on the outside realizes until they kill a historian. then the police arrest them before a major battle.
@Darth Wheezius I cried laughing to this reply😂
@@mehrito7586 Are you the messiah?
They couldn’t afford horses so they came up with the coconut bit. Turned out to be one of the most memorable things in the movie.
And you could tell exact point they ran out of money
They even handed out coconuts in the theatre when the film premiered.
There is a world record for playing the coconuts because of this movie. Current record is 5877 people who played to the tune of "Always look on the bright side of life" in 2007.
@@jamieflowers534 Ahh, the song everyone wants played at their funeral.
@M 40 European or African?
“Bring out your dead" is what they used to say during the time of the Black Plague, when dead bodies had to be disposed of quickly and there was no time for funeral arrangements.
There's also the methods they used to dispose of bodies
Disclaimer: No coconuts were harmed in the making of this movie
Nor were any moose.
Or llamas.
What about the shrubbery?
It had to be, it was split in half
@@LEGOJediMaster The coconuts, or the shrubbery?
@@RichardX1 The coconuts
Imagine being in a large theater and being screwed with like this. The intermission was a total mind shift, movies at this time had 5 minute intermissions where you could get a drink or use the bathroom. In this case it lasted 10 seconds. People got up and were heading out when the movie just restarted .... At the end of the movie, we all just sat there in the dark listening to that bad music, people slowly got up and left... it was crazy.
It's their fault for not remembering that is is a PYTHON production.
I saw this as a teen in the 1990’s and thought it was hilarious, but I’ve never thought about what it was like in a theater. That’s fucking hilarious.
I'd immediately go see it again.
Wow. I got this on video a year or two after it came out. All this time I never knew that. That is a treasure! I would love to have been pranked like that!
@Romanogers4ever I was thinking the same thing!
You sure laughed a lot for someone who says she didn’t like it.
All the constant stopping to do reactions real ruins immersion though
Yo that was my first reaction to this movie too. I hated it but now I fucking love it
I was too young the first time I saw it and was horrified by the gore. Watched it again later and I freakin’ love it. I also really like British comedy though and so the ending to me is absolutely hilarious. Monty Python grows on you. You will find yourself laughing about stuff as you remember it and quoting it despite yourself. Holy Grail and Secret of Life (seriously the sperm song is worth the whole movie) are my favorite Monty Pythons.
It's usually guys who like Monty Python movies. But whatever, you either love em or hate em. It's wild and wacky British humor.
My older brother woke me up to watch this on public television. I was a preteen. Warped my mind.
“Not the poor rabbit” 🥺
*2 seconds later: 😱
You know, I can't help but think that you might owe yourself a re-watch of this movie. You've been exposed to so much since this was done.
That moment when you realize it's not actually a medieval period piece, but a mystery about a historian from the point of view of some llamas making an underbudget period film.
Well DUH!
Amd the møøse, the interisteng themg abot the møøse is…
It is all about PERSPECTIVE! Lmao
Actually, done by a group of alpaca with a grude...
Carl the llama wrote the murdering scenes
The actors WROTE the script.
My husband watched this in the theaters when he was very little, and when the ending (or lack thereof) happened, him and his brother were crying, because of the battle that was being built up not happening, and their dad was cackling about the way the movie ended.
I personally love this movie.
Best first time reaction ever. What cruel people compared Holy Grail to Princess Bride?
Evil people like you and I. They need to be heartliy congratulated.
"I don't know who Monty Python is..."
Oh god... my heart.. I can't take that sentence... 😨
I've yet to meet Pink Floyd, but I heard he was a big fan of that Monty Python fella and helped make Life of Brian
Beans was pretty comfortable towards the end. At least the cat was entertaining.
By the way welcome to British humor.
@@oldgranite6467 It was George Harrison of The Beatles who made Life of Brian possible.
She's continually bursting out laughing, and then she said she hates the movie.
Cause she didn't like the ending.
Ending is the best part
ikr, like Ive said in m own comment, I think she did get it, she's just trying to compare it with all of the other films sh'es seen already in her life, it needs to be taken totally for what it is, meaningless, silly and above all irreverent.
Carl Hartwell I think she’s actually most of the way towards being a fan. The ending just threw her for a loop. I think once she gets over that and processes it properly she’ll be “one of us!” 🤣 ;D

"And now for something completely different"
I can't understand why anyone would seriously recommend Monty Python because you liked the Princess Bride.
Seriously. They're both great movies, but they're NOTHING alike! LOL
Couple of degrees of separation there but I kinda get it. Princess Bride could almost be a Mel Brooks movie, and the comedy of Mel Brooks movies is probably closer to Python than most styles
When she said that it was just like Princes bride i just started laughing knowing she was in for a BIG surprise, and i was right.
“I hate it” - people who have watched it once
“It’s the funniest movie ever” - people who have the number of watches being three or more.
yes, five or more
@@Rikard_Nilsson three sir!
Whenever I want. I have the DVD.
Yeah and knowing a little of the MP gang help too.
But not five. Five is RIGHT OUT!
The "bring out your dead" scene is actually something that took place during the black plague and throughout the medieval period. People would die and there were undertakers, people who buried the dead, would go through towns with a push cart asking villagers and towns people to bring out their dead.
During that period they also would throw dead animals and dead people (many diseased) as biological warfare. Where she said it was weird, it's funny that history can be really weird sometimes.
And like the Black Death reoccurring a number of times, "I'm not dead...I''m getting better," is a running gag and is used at least three times in the film.
I think everyone new that, like everyone learnt that in year 2 cmon
@@buenoexcellente5364 obviously not going by her reactions lol
Pete Chambers well I everyone i new...guess
Fun fact: one year in high school (I believe senior year), for Spirit Week's "Famous Couples" day, 2 friends of mine dressed up as those knights, complete with coconuts. Without fail, whenever they walked, they clacked those nuts. As you can imagine, they won that day.
The humour is very British and very relf referential. It's social commentary, scaracasm 4th wall breaks all in a film practically thrown together by the monty python crew. It's bloody hilarious. The ending is incredible aswell. Best moments are the catapult cow and killer bunny
The Monty Python films basically troll the audience. That's part of the joke.
It'is above all the typical English absurd humor. From Laurel and Hardy to Mr Been and Benny Hill.
"It is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen" -- That was the point. The film makes fun of itself.
This movie was hilarious. There was a BBC Radio show called the Goon Show that ran from 1951 to 1960. It was the ancestor of the Monty Python's Flying Circus TV series on BBC 1969-1974. So this movie is not a " one off " but is part of an entire genre.
The Goon Show was superb. My Grandad had them all. I fast forwarded through the big band stuff they usually stuck in the middle. Silly stuff - the voices, the puns, the scenarios - but it was all wonderfully glorious.
Also the 1941 show
A few years ago my family went to a showing of this movie, where John Cleese was there after the screening for comedy and answering questions. It was great!
Wow, that would have been fun!
If you're interested in sci-fi: Monty Python and the Life of Brian has aliens
I'm interested in shouting
And haggling
Sounds like a stretch
La Hora Muda but what does your wife think of this?
@@dinsy512 she agrees with me
6:15 The reason the actors went ahead with it after seeing the script, is because they were also the writers.
Lmao 🤣
Plus they knew that it was Python.
The actors ARE Monty Python!
I keep coming back to this reaction, your face 'this better not be the end of this fucking movie' is the best reaction you have ever had! lol BRILLIANT!
"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elder berries" was inscribed on a bathroom stall in a tavern in Bellingham WA. in 1985. I knew then that I had moved to the appropriate community for me.
It's "Your MOTHER was a hamster and your FATHER smelt of elderberries". :-)
Every BAFFLED face you makes is like food for those of us who LOVE this movie. We had the damn thing memorized in high school. The holy hand grenade monologue was my favorite.
.."five is right out."
Skip a bit Brother.
It's excellent. But Dennis the unruly peasant is my favorite bit.
Yes. At college you could tell who had seen it, because they were acting out their favorite scenes in the student lounge.
"Oh, Lord, bless this thy holy hand grenade. So that it may blown thine enemies to itty bits."
"Why are they dead?"
Did your educational institution not teach you about the Black Death?

It's interesting. I've always been under the impression that Monty Python is just something everyone automatically knew about. Even if you didn't care and had never seen a single skit, it was inevitable that you'd at least be vaguely aware of the existence of that British comedy troupe through sheer cultural osmosis. Regardless of whether you liked or hated it, it seems physically impossible to me to imagine a life in which you somehow managed to not keep running into an endless sequence of awkward dorks who would quote entire Monty Python skits verbatim, no matter how much you wished they'd stop. The way she says "this Monty Python guy" at the start sounds as alien to me as someone saying "who's this Led Zeppelin person?"
Cowboy Bebop at his computer
In the interest of being completely fair and transparent, Monty Python learned how to make films by making this film, decided to have coconuts rather than horses because coconuts are cheaper, and ran out of money towards the end of the production.
"Is this one of those that's just gonna get weirder and weirder... and weirder?!"
Madam, you just summarized Monty Python in a single sentence. Great reaction 🤣

Right... i mean, what would she think of "The Meaning of Life"?
@@Todrick451 that was exactly what I was thinking! I was also wondering how someone who has grown up with tictoc dosen't get the humor?!?
"No closure?" with Monty Python, it's about the the journey, not the destination.
exactly!
BEST. MOVIE ENDING. EVER.
The anachronism in lots of scenes is so funny.
And now for something completely different.
It's a shame that you didn't go into this movie knowing that Monty Python was a comedy sketch group. Very indicative of the 70's with the surrealism.
So the Monty Python movies are kind of like when Saturday Night Live sketches get movies (like Blues Brothers). For Monty Python I recommend the Parrot Sketch or Spanish Inquisition
I watched this back in the day in a theater. I thought that The Holy Hand Grenade was the funniest shit I've ever seen. Then the ending came and the entire hall was shaking with laughter. I was in tears. Laughing. I think me and my classmate I was with were remaking that epic fight with the bunny (and the one with the black knight on the bridge :'D ) for more than a year in the classrooms after. We were also "riding horses" between classes all the time and citing the speed of all sorts of swallows in math classes. I have tears streaming from my eyes right now. It's the best.
One of my favorite parts of the movie wasn't even the genius jokes (or chaotic dumbass energy as I lovingly refer to it) but Graham just shouting "Jesus Christ!" when suprised, always gets a giggle out of me, dont know why
Blasphemy is hilarious. It's a victimless crime. 😂
@@davelister2961 I never thought of that. That should be on a shirt. P.S.: It's a garbage pod.

Graduated Rice University in 1986 with a specialized degree in human behavior.
Your EGO is in full control so I'll wait for you to regain control and we can discuss your Ego's need to attack me.....but I dont think you are even aware that your ego ins in total control of your behavior.
Understand, the human ego is a self-defense mechanism to assist in the preservation of the Self. It helps keep us alive, to a degree and functioning with the environment, The Majority of the time though, the Self-absorbed Ego will do what IT thinks is best for it's own self and protection. Now...our EGOs are NOT us, not the REAL us and once you learn the behavioral tactics of the ego, it is easy to diffuse them by calling/naming the tactic.
So NOW...your EGO knows I'm onto it's tactics and it will whisper in your mind to try a different approach...passive/aggressive...or back to the original tactic of trying to invalidate my post and thus...my Intellect and by claiming I have NO knowledge.
LOL that was incredibly silly of your ego!!
Remember...yur EGO and ITS behavior are NOT the real you. Egos will often make a fool of their Beings if not controlled
IT ISNT PERSONAL,...just your EGO
First thing is to learn the tactics and you will recognize it in your own behavior!!
Yet all the knowledge of the swallow should be gratification enough .
So funny that when she laid back in frustration, Beans imitated her.
This movie is best watched at around the age 13. My friends found this to be the most hilarious stuff at that age! Loved it!
I was about 12 when I watched this for the first time. This movie had me dying.😂
I had a teacher in High School that used to quote this movie all the time. On our final exam, he made the last question “What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?” and marked it as 50% of the final grade for the class.
Someone is actually selling a t-shirt with that on it and some gobbledygood science equations. They also do the Swallow & The Coconut.
@@kimothy1701 ah, but that would be telling. :)
SGlitz too late, I’ve already given the answer to the question.
I hope you wrote on your exam,... “A European or an African swallow?” You probably would’ve aced the class!
Jim Taylor That was the only correct answer he would accept. Also, on every test, the first question was “What is your name?” Because if you don’t know the answer to that, you probably won’t be passing. Lol
Unfortunately, he passed away a few years ago. At least he left a strong impression on his students though.
"Monty Python" is a British sketch comedy group. This was their first movie, and they wrote the script for themselves. That's why the movie probably seems "fragmented" into "bits" of comedy. It was made on a shoestring budget, which is probably why they couldn't afford actual horses, lol. It's a lot of gags and jokes (very British humor - surreal, absurdist humor), but they had no idea it was going to be a cult classic and a very influential movie in its own weird little way. Apparently, they literally ran out of money while shooting, so they just had to stop filming, hence the lack of closure. You don't have to like the movie, but I'm glad you found it amusing...once. You'll like Goonies more. It has closure. Hahaha
"It's only a model.." "SHHH!!!"
The coconuts also were because the budget was minimal.
Life of Brian has a real feel good ending with a song and everything.
@@mst5g826 STOP, lol...
The abrupt ending was intentional. By the time you get to the end you forgot the credits were at the beginning.
You may not get it, but that is Monty Python humor. I love it!
Chief Wiggum: "Send him back to mama, boys." 🤣
I enjoy that you believe they hired actors for this film.
True. The bulk of the budget was dedicated to the care and feeding of the llamas.
Nice burn
I can't be friends with anyone who dislikes this movie. I can try, but in the end there will be no connection.
I know it's really good I have watched so meny things dealing with Monty Python it's all really funny and great to watch.
OK, for reference, about 8 years before this movie came out (which probably was about 6 years before filming it), CAMELOT (a musical) came out, which is why the knights are singing and they refer to it as a silly place. This is also a reference later when the prince tries to go into song.
"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of Elderberries." Meaning that his mother was popping out tons of kids and his father was a drunk, but more importantly, that they were commoners and not nobility.
The killer Rabbit is a reference to armed rabbits (sometimes killing people) in the edges of illuminated scrolls of the middle ages/renaissance.
Intermissions were a thing of the past, when the movie reels had to be changed, and people flocked to the bathrooms and concessions.
(Most often this was in Drive -ins, but originally, in theaters as well.)
The lack of definitive closure was a thing about English Films (so much so it became a trope).
The movie is good for its quotability in geek culture. It is a lot better when watched in a group of like-minded people.
Just so you know, there are several other Monty Python Films, not to mention the show. Probably the one you'll find most palatable if you want to make sense of it is "Monty Python's Life of Brian".
I've only seen the movie twice and the last time was over ten years ago. I’m not sure I ever fully appreciated it until now because it’s perhaps the greatest troll movie ever made. Also, seeing someone react to it for the first time is priceless.
OHH YES. I COULD QUOTE THIS FILM BACKWARDS. BRILLIANT. WELL, ITS NOT FOR EVERYONE. I LOVE IT.
Out of curiosity, have you ever heard of Pop Will Eat Itself and their song "Fatman"?
@@TC_Smitty Nope! :D
@khotan The Black Knight bit is just the absolute peak of humor in this film! It utterly slayed me the first time I watched it!! There are times when I will turn on the movie, just to watch that one scene, then turn the movie off again after I've gotten my jollies. IMO, no other part of the movie, before or after that whole scene, is nearly as hilarious.
But I still love the film as a whole...
The Fatman HG is in my top five favorite comedy films.
"Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government..."
They couldn’t afford horses, so they came up with a brilliant alternative.
Welcome to British humor!
Brilliantly British!,Spinal Tap the obligated other.
This reaction was priceless! And if you think this is weird you should see their tv-series Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
I’m laughing so hard.🤣 She went from laughing at the swallow joke set up to stunned disbelief at the end.😆😆😆
When she said "Not the poor bunny" I busted out laughing. I'm thinking the bunny will be just fine!

Being a 56yr old Brit I was definitely “pissing myself laughing” at your hilarious & brilliantly honest, perplexed reaction to this iconic movie. I only laughed more at the movie itself😂😂 P.S. I think Monty Python are actually bigger in the US in my age group than they are in the UK. You should see Monty Python at the Hollywood Bowl😉😁
Her reactions made it so much better. :P
@Stuart Coker Or eggs spam with bacon with spam on spam.
@The Hound Same here . . .
Watching you go off on the end of this film was one of the funniest things I've ever seen, and I don't know why.
For those of us who grew up in that era and watched the British Comedy Troupe - Monty Python's Flying Circus weekly episodes on some broadcast PBS station late on a Saturday night, we totally get the absurdity & baked in humor of this movie...😉
If you’re disappointed in this movie then you’ve failed to understand the point of it.
There's them that gets it and them that don't. I feel bad for those that don't.
I sort of agree with you. Why would you want an ending for this movie? Where even was the movie?
Around the point you see knights riding imaginary horses and everyone is okay, its pretty clear that its a farce.
I don't love the movie myself. But i enjoy its nonsensical comedy.
Whole of it the setting, the story, everything is meant to get out a laugh.
If someone doesn't know 'who' Monty Python is, there's little chance of them getting their first film (if you discount And Now For Something Completely Different, which would have been a better starting place for Monty Python).
The film appears on most top comedy lists, and generally near the top. The work of Monty Python has inspired generations of comedians too.
The members of Monty Python were educated people who understood history, economic theories, theater and educated discussions of many issues. It would be difficult fr somebody who has not studied a bit to fully understand the nature of their comedic bent. It is a mindset which requires some types of knowledge which are no longer taught in many places in America. But hey, for those unimpressed with this kind of work, there are many movies to sate their desire for humor. I am going to watch a double feature of the Holy Grail and The Life of Brian. It works for me anyway

@@questworldiangreenknight7455 Haha, you should definitely check out one of the many documentaries about the making of Life of Brian, the movie ruffled many feather and inspired protest marches, bans and all other sorts of lunacies - almost as fun and certainly as silly as the actual Python films! "Monty Python is the agent of the devil." was seen on a sign during a protest march and the line was picked up by news magazines etc. - it remains my favourite bit of hyperbole (and John Cleeses as well)...
I'm laughing my butt off at your reaction to this brilliant piece of comedy genius!
This movie had me rollin!!! I couldn’t believe the ridiculous things I kept laughing at. Everything was just so ridiculously hilarious!! 😂
whoever told you this was like Princess Bride was trolling more than anything in this movie.
The animator having a heart attack was one of my favorite jokes
It was a last minute change, because they realized, they had written their story into a dead end. Due to the small budget (the main reason for the animated monster) they could not rewrite the script, so they let the artist "die" :P
that scene nearly killed me from laughter. The way he falls is too good.
Oh HA HA HA HA HA! That is the best belly laugh I’ve had in a minute. This just threw you into a loop, didn’t it? Lmao! I had fun with this. Thank you. It’s Python. Whaddya gonna do? They didn’t like “formulas.” 😀
First time I watched this movie was with my dad. He had seen it before. We couldn't breathe and my stomach hurt so bad due to the laughter. The opening credits tell you you're in for a doozy. In my immediate family are the three levels of viewers. My dad & I think it is hilarious, my brothers think it's pretty funny (they don't laugh as much as dad & I), my mom just doesn't get it & usually just leaves the room if anything Monty Python related comes up. The trick to Monty Python is to not try & rationalize or make sense of it. Even this video has me in tears. The reaction to the Black knight stabbing the guy in the head 🤣, I'm just sitting here think oh it gets better. It is stupid humor & I laugh/cry every time.
In fifty years you'll still be remembering scenes from this movie.
You should try Monty Python's Life of Brian. It has a bigger budget and does have a proper ending...so no problems with closure. It's very funny and while still not your typical movie it's much less 'weird' than Holy Grail.
Yeah it's better in my opinion
Agreed! Brian is much better!
It would be very appropriate to watch Brian this december.
Be sure to always look on the bright side of life.
Totally agree, Life Of Brian is 'almost' a proper movie 😂 And more quotable lines imo. 👍
During the Black Plague, they really did have wagons going through town, picking up the dead
I first saw this when I was 12, and it was my first exposure to british humor & monty python in general. I didn't laugh once from start to end, I was just really confused. Thought it was the weirdest thing ever. But then I saw it again with some friends and got some of the jokes. Then I saw it again and got more. Wasn't long before I had seen it 20-30 times, found it the funniest thing I'd ever seen, and could repeat the whole thing word for word. Truly a masterpiece.
I suppose I should mention that the “bring out your dead!” Bit is a commentary on how NON-romantic and squalid the Middle Ages actually was (also referencing the Black Plague) and how it ridiculously contrasts with the tales of Knights and Kings etc.
punctuated at the end when the guy comments on Arthur riding by by saying, “Oi, must be a king.” “How can y’ tell?” “Cause he doesn’t ‘ave shit all over’im!” 🤣
Also never heard of the black death?
_Greetings starfighter._
And the backgrounds are funny too. In this scene someone is slamming a cat against the wall in the background. You can hear it meow. :)
On the other hand, there's far too many people that think peasants shat in their own wells.
Also a case of the Dung Ages trope. Not much of a basis in reality. Intentionally played for comedy, of course.
"Bring Out Your Dead!"
That scene was a reference to the Bubonic Plague.
🤣 Your ending reaction is priceless lmao
this is one of the funniest movies ever made. everyone of these actors is a comedic genius apart, never mind when they get together.
My husband told our son "If you find a woman who loves Monty Python, marry her"! Monty Python is hilarious.
Funnily enough, in my wedding speech I said that if I was gonna marry, she would have to ski, get Monty Python, and like
Buffy the vampire slayer...
"I memorized Holy Grail really well
. I can recite it right now and have you R-O-T-F-L-O-L" - from White and Nerdy, Weird Al Yankovich. You don't need to be a nerd to love Monty Python, but it is most likely true. You simply need to find a women who likes nerds (and has a sense of humor). Holy Grail is definitely a good measure.
That is great advice. I was fortunate enough to encounter a few millenials who got 'it'.
So true!
My wife hates Monty Python AND Blazing Saddles but LOVES Mr. Bean.
The best bit is seeing it slowly dawn just what you're watching. Your gradual realization that this is naught but unfettered lunacy was amazing to see! XD
This video was so amazing keep up the good work
Ashleigh, someone in chain mail MURDERED that poor historian. They arrested everyone matching the description. What kind of closure did you want???
This reply is PERFECT.
The only one with a horse.
The perfect response
The part where they ask the wizard's name and he replies 'Tim', John Cleese actually forgot his lines and made it up on the spot
Never knew that--and it was so funny!
It was actually taken from "Blazing Saddles" earlier that same year. The same joke was made for the character "Jim" in that movie. Mel Brooks later approved, having loved Holy Grail.
I'll have to watch that again, since I only saw it the once when I was 7
One of my favorite lines in the whole movie!
John Cleese's daughter called the ending of the film "the biggest cop-out in movie history". 😂
You are, by far, my favorite movie reviewer; full of personality and sass.
Your reviews are the most honest, and you also have absolutely great editing skills. Bravo!
"Pythonesque" is a word added to dictionaries to describe: "denoting a kind of humour that is absurd and unpredictable; zany; surreal"
Its been NAMED adter Monty Python, thats how impactful they've been.
Also, the abrupt ending is pretty much standard procedure if you've seen Monty Pythons old TV show. Often the sketches would be cut off mid point by having a british army officer (played by Graham Chapman, King arthur in this movie) suddenly appearing and stating that "Stop this, this is getting silly" or Cleese appearig as a newscaster saying: "and now.. for something completely different"
"The BBC would like to apologize for the previous sketch..."
@@jayeff2 The ones responsible for sacking the ones who had previously sacked the ones who were the first to be sacked, have been sacked.
*we kept the llamas
True, and I'm as big a Python fan as any, but they'd be the first to say that The Goons and Pete and Dud were as zany and surreal as they were, and were definitely big influences on them!
Here's a great example of the brilliance of The Goons ua-cam.com/video/ZdRBGiAKols/v-deo.html
It would be the perfect ending if instead of the scotland yard the silly police came along and just said the "get on with it" line.
