MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL Movie Description:
A comedic send-up of the grim circumstances of the Middle Ages as told through the story of King Arthur and framed by a modern-day murder investigation. When the mythical king of the Britons leads his knights on a quest for the Holy Grail, they face a wide array of horrors, including a persistent Black Knight, a three-headed giant, a cadre of shrubbery-challenged knights, the perilous Castle Anthrax, a killer rabbit, a house of virgins, and a handful of rude Frenchmen.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a 1975 British comedy film reflecting the Arthurian legend, written and performed by the Monty Python comedy group (Chapman, Cleese, Gilliam, Idle, Jones and Palin), directed by Gilliam and Jones. It was conceived during the hiatus between the third and fourth series of their BBC television series Monty Python's Flying Circus.
While the group's first film, And Now for Something Completely Different, was a compilation of sketches from the first two television series, Holy Grail is a new story that parodies the legend of King Arthur's quest for the Holy Grail. Thirty years later, Idle used the film as the basis for the musical Spamalot.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail grossed more than any other British film exhibited in the US in 1975. In the US, it was selected as the second-best comedy of all time in the ABC special Best in Film: The Greatest Movies of Our Time. In the UK, readers of Total Film magazine in 2000 ranked it the fifth-greatest comedy film of all time; a similar poll of Channel 4 viewers in 2006 placed it sixth.

Thank You So Much, I Appreciate That So Much
Happy birthday!
Oh Wow Thank You So Much
Happy birthday dude
One of the jokes I missed all these years was the ending was a literal cop-out.
Lmao Yeah I Didn’t Know What To Think
@@HelloMellowXVI they literally ran out of money so they had fun with copping out.
and the 20 min of stupid music at the end was one last F U lol
The ending is actually a reference to one of the recurring gags on the original Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch comedy show. They had a habit of ending their sketches with a policeman coming in to break up the sketch. This being the first Monty Python film, they had a number of direct callbacks to the show, like the line "get on with it", Terry Gilliam's trademark animation used to segue between vignettes, and the fact that most of the movie consists of a series of meandering, non-sequitur argument sketches.
That 20 minutes of music over black screen, though? Classic trolling.
I've actually seen this in a packed theater with a live audience. There's nothing better than seeing this with a large group of people literally rolling in the aisles. That, and the stunned silence of the audience at the end, followed by people slowly cracking up and losing it.
I only just realized that the killer had a horse, therefore none of them were the killer.
This has been one of my favourite movies of all time, watched it many times and you have just blown my mind! 😂🤯
That is the only time THE ENTIRE movie shows an actual horse
Its because they could only afford to rent one horse at the time
WOW! My mind is blown. I shall forever be Watson in the murder mystery of life.
@@annikanelson5166 Still, that would mean we had the dumbest cops ever put on screen. They didn’t even solve the case, they made it worse!
They didn't have real horses because of budget limitations and made it into one of the best jokes ever
I heard one of them was afraid of horses and didn’t want to ride one, so they opted for the coconuts instead. Cheaper and easier.
Besides the one knight who killed the historian
@@ScorpionStrike7 no no, that was also coconutted.
@@Spencerinio5 ?
@@peroskarstorholm4196 and cheesier.
Monty Python is a six person comedy group, so they all play multiple roles in their movies. Tim the Enchanter and Sir Lancelot are both played by John Cleese.
As was the Frenchman.
@J. Matthews and The Black Knight
And the guy in the crowd at the "witch trial"
@J. Matthews That was actually Michael Palin.
@@kieferthielman3788
John Cleese was there to.
“Strange women laying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!”
Is one of the best lines ever.
"If I went around saying I was king because some moisty bint lopped a scimitar at me they'd lock me away"
"Just because some watery tart threw a sword at you?!"
Supreme executive power derives by a mandate from the masses not from some farcical aquatic ceremony
Dennis there's some lovely filth down here.
"Help, help, I'm being repressed!" Bloody peasant
The “intermission” joke doesn’t make sense in the modern day, but in the past it was common for movies to be shown in two parts to allow the film operators to change reels and allow people to use the restroom and buy more concessions. So when the movie came out and the intermission came on people started to get out of their seats assuming it was an actual intermission, then the movie suddenly started again only a few seconds later.
Wow I never knew movies had that. Ive seen it in plays but never movies
@@vladdythebear5872 idk about you but when Avatar came out there was an intermission
Ellie Ledgerwood ah, I haven't seen Avatar before. Im guessing its very long
@@vladdythebear5872 It’s more common in movies released pre-1960s. So even when this movie made the joke it was an already outdated practice, but enough people were still familiar with it to be tricked by it.
@@TheNightWatcher1385
I think Gandhi might have been the last film to have an intermission. It's the most recent film I can think of anyway
Monty Python was formed under the idea that punch-lines are usually a let down, and that the funniest part of a joke/sketch is often the path you take to get there. So, they usually shift to something else at the end of a scene instead of the usual formula of setup-punchline. Glad you enjoyed it.
And now for something completely different...
@@francislajeunesse8313
EXACTLY!!
And it shows with most of their sketches. With a number of them, including the famous Dead Parrot sketch, the ending isn't even the same depending on the performance.
The animator having a fatal heart attack, and just how he flips backward in one pose like that gets me every time.
This whole movie was a grade A shitpost. And its excellent.
Honestly you could probably post a link to the movie and it would be considered a grade s shit post
This is the best analysis I have ever read
Holy grail is tied with kung pow as the finniest movie ever i just cant decide lol i love shitpost movies, I also consider napolean dynamite in this same category (shitpost movies)
It's literally the longest, most complex shitpost ever made, 40 or so years before the word shitpost ever entered common usage.
All 6 guys played multiple roles.
Including GIlliam.
Yeah, below is the list for the main guys (from IMDb: www.imdb.com/title/tt0071853/). Note that their playing also many of the female roles, both was very common for them in their Flying Circus skits, but also something very British. It would not be unheard of for a man to dress up in women's clothes, for example for the New Year's celebration, and it is really common for nights out in universities. The BBC has a good article about it here: www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2014/11/brits-cross-dressing-history. This quote summarises it quite well: ‘Twelfth Night [by Shakespeare, my remark] is also one of those Shakespeare plays that further confounds the audience by bringing in a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, with the woman ending up pretending to be a man while still being played by a man dressed as a woman, and then love comes along to complicate matters still further.’
The roles played by the main cast:
Graham Chapman: King Arthur / Voice of God / Middle Head / Hiccoughing Guard
John Cleese: Second Swallow-Savvy Guard / The Black Knight / Peasant 3 / Sir Launcelot the Brave / Taunting French Guard / Tim the Enchanter
Eric Idle: Dead Collector / Peasant 1 / Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir Launcelot / First Swamp Castle Guard / Concorde / Roger the Shrubber / Brother Maynard
Terry Gilliam: Patsy / Green Knight / Old Man from Scene 24 (Bridgekeeper) / Sir Bors / Animator / Gorilla Hand
Terry Jones: Dennis's Mother / Sir Bedevere / Left Head / Prince Herbert / Voice of Cartoon Scribe
Michael Palin: First Swallow-Savvy Guard / Dennis / Peasant 2 / Right Head / Sir Galahad the Pure / Narrator / King of Swamp Castle / Brother Maynard's Brother / Leader of The Knights Who Say NI!
@@CannedMan Eric Idle has a distinct look that is easily recognizable even through the makeup. Even I realized he was playing multiple characters the first time I saw this movie. I could figure out the others upon multiple views.
and of course this film is following years of their work together on famous sketch comedy television show Monty Python's Flying Circus
@@danadnauseam he did the cool animations too!he did all the animations on their show too!
I love when Sir Robin runs away and from that point forward the bird on his shield changes from a robin to a chicken
I never noticed until you pointed it out. Oh, those cunning buggers.
Holy crap. I've been watching this movie for 30+ years and never noticed that
In the DVD release, they pretend to open with the wrong film: Dentist on the Job , which was a real film. Dentist on the Job was subsequently rereleased on dvd just because of that
Sure did. Lol.
I remember seeing that.
I had the dvd release of it from 2009, and I don't remember seeing that.
@@TrenchcoatNinja3 i think it's an earlier release, i remember seeing it as a child
funniest shit ever
A movie so genius there are jokes in the opening credits
Although, I prefer modern comedy. Things like the Cornetto Trilogy and TomSka have jokes that are very quickly paced and even hidden in the background. Old movies oike this are very obvious with its jokes and go on about them for a long time
And Dead Pool soon followed after :)
They left me out.
Monty python are masters of making the smartest, dumbest shit.
Just a shame that they go unnoticed by most movie viewers these days because they dont pay attention to the opening credits
When John Cleese said “Some may call me.... Tim.” Theres a rumor that that was an ad-lib. He was actually supposed to say some really long and complicated name, but he forgot it so he just said Tim and they went with it.
One of my fav lines
The anticlimactic "Tim" is far funnier than any long and over-complicated name they could have come up with. The enchanter is already over the top, so him having a totally innocuous name left me in stitches.
Yeah, and John Cleese helped another English comedian come up with a funny number. He said that 42 was rather funny and gave a number of reasons that it would be the great punchline for the joke the other comedian wanted to make.
@@werefrogofassyria6609 I think you are thinking of Douglas Adam's when he wrote Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The number "42" is
"The Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything". Also, Being from Assyria, would know what the Capitol is?
Haha! I didt know that. I named one of my kids sfter that. Tim! 😊😉
My favorite line in MP&TSFTHG is
"He must be a King"
"How can you tell?"
"He hasnt got shit all over em." 😅
Eric Idle ad libbed that line.
and at the end he has shit all over him
The real genius behind this movie is that the more you watch it the funnier it gets. Before long it becomes like The Rocky Horror Picture Show where the best part is watching it with a bunch of people while quoting line for line.
"Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries" Still my favorite line
I can't wait to use some of those insults.^^
My friend almost got fired for writing that on a memo to a colleague for a joke . He got pulled in the office and told that "any form of bullying isnot tolerated and its an instant dismissal " his work mate had to explain that it was a funny quote from movie and they were writing quotes to each other to beat the monotony on shift. He got to keep his job but was supervised alot more.
@@kirstygunn9149 everyone a pussy these days
@@kirstygunn9149 The supervisors must smell of elderberries and carouse with hamsters.
I've used that at least once a month for 24 years lol
The funniest part was how every actor had multiple parts, but he only recognised Eric Idle.
in his def. Eric Idle is very recogniseable :D
So is John Cleese, the only one who didn’t have multiple roles was Graham chapman, probably because he was Arthur, but I wouldn’t be surprised if his alcoholism was an issue, it was hard enough to get him to do one role
Graham chapman also played the middle head of the giant
@@TheLegoDave and the hiccuping guard
@@andysutcliffe3915 To be fair, Chapman played the main character. Who was in most scenes. It's difficult to play two characters in the same scene.
My favorite part starts at 21:09. He's galloping towards the castle and the doofus guard doesn't even care. But the camera keeps putting him back where he started by the tree line until all of a sudden he gets to the gate. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Especially when the other guard just softly says ‘…hey…’ after he runs in.
The last joke is not only a reference to their sketches being broken up by cops, a joke on "cop out", but is also a callback to the credits guy being fired at the start of the film.
The reason the movie ended like that was because they literally ran out of money.
true
One of the greatest endings in cinema.
I am foot
In other words, the decided to play it out with a cop-out, since there was a running joke about cops trying to arrest knights.
They also had a hard time coming up with a good ending
Here's a bit of trivia:
EVERY castle in the movie (except the cardboard cutouts) was all just ONE castle in Scotland.
Lmao That’s Crazy
Not strictly true. The majority was Doune Castle but ‘Castle Aargh’ at the end is Castle Stalker which indeed is cut off from land at high tide. At low tide you can walk across to it.
It's only a model.
*Matte Paintings
Doune Castle was the only one that would let them use it for their film, now >75% of their visitor traffic comes from fans of this film... pays to say "yes" every once in a while I guess.
For the Black Knight segment, it's John Cleese at first until he's down to one leg. Then it's a man that actually had only one leg. Then it's Cleese again when he's down to just a torso. Cleese said the scene was hard as all hell to film, too.
I thought they actually had three different amputees for each time the Black Knight lost a limb? And it wasn't Cleese until he lost all the limbs
@@jgaringan Starts off with Cleese with all the limbs until he loses a leg. Then it's an actual one legged man, then it's Cleese again when he's on the ground. He said having his arms bound by his costume and being half buried in the ground was utterly miserable. If you look closely, you can see that his torso is slightly bigger than it was when he had his arms, due to them being stuck at his sides.
John Cleese is one of the very few people who can honestly say he had Richard Burton for a stunt double.
Terry Gilliam said it was Cleese until he loses his leg. They then used a real one legged actor. They used a marionette for when he loses his other leg and back to the one legged actor when he is on the ground. Gilliam joked that they saved production costs because they only had to dig one hole for him to stand in instead of two holes if they had used an actor with two legs.
I love how you clocked Eric Idle (Brave Sir Robin) doing multiple parts, but didn't notice that the rest of the knights were also doing multiple parts. All the main speaking parts are divided between like five guys. You can for example tell that Lancelot is also the voice for the Black Knight, and the same guy who plays the sorcerer Tim, and the french soldier.
Just like the guy who plays Sir Galahad (the dude who gets trapped in the castle with all the women) is the same guy who plays the father at that wedding. While the son of that story is the same guy who plays the head knight in the Knights Who say ni, and the knight who does the witch trial.
With a sixth guy (Terry Gilliam) also playing multiple bit parts, and oh by the way he was also responsible for the animated segments.
"You can't wield supreme executive power just cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!"
“Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.”
This line always killed me
One vision, one purpose.
"watery tarts distributing swords 2024"
Tell that to any politician in the modern day...
The coconuts / horse thing was because the movie was so low budget they couldn’t afford horses.
One of the guys came up with the coconut gag instead.
It’s A Brilliant Joke For Sure, I Didn’t Know It Was For That Reason After I Watched It. I Thought It Was Mainly For A Joke
@@HelloMellowXVI . yes, they had no money for more than the one horse that we see when the professor/historian is killed, so to add an extra layer to the jokes, they chose to go all in with the coconuts that often was used as props to add the sound of horses in movies in the old days.
@@HelloMellowXVI Coconuts were used for horse sound effects in radio dramas of the time. The best thing about this joke is that the spectacle of them using the coconuts is so silly that if they could afford horses but thought of this too they would have done it this way instead.
Not just the horses. Look at Lancelot's chain helmet.. It's actually cloth that was stitched in the chainmail pattern because they blew most of their budget on the one castle shot from multiple angles. The ends over his chest are sticking up a bit.
Also, Camelot really was just a model, that's why, after Patsy says 'it's only a model', Arthur looks at him and goes "SHH!"
There is now a Guiness Book of World Records entry for most coconuts played by a group of people because of this movie.
Seeing this guy with 34 thousand subscribers talk about his hope of getting a thousand by new years is really heartwarming
Mello totally deserves it, but yeah. This dude *blew the -- up!*
I can’t wait to see what kind of goofy dance we get at 100k.
Now we're at 62.9K
Apparently, it's 106K now.
123k now ❤
13:50 Fun Fact: In ancient warfare, corpses (human and animals) would be catapulted into castles and fortified cities in order to spread disease among the defenders.
Life of Brian is the next film that followed this.
Well Thank You For That, I’ll Definitely Do Them In Order!
IMO Life of Brian is funnier
@@corawheeler9355 It’s Coming Up Soon My Brother
Yellowbeard's my favorite.
Life of Brian is one of the funniest movies of all time. It also has some sneakily deep social commentary.
"Oh he is playing multiple characters"
Well this movie has like 10 actors at most.
Also, that's pretty much par for the course for Monty Python. The majority of the roles are played by the core Pythons (Chapman, Cleese, Idle, Gilliam, Jones, and Palin) with only a handful of semi-regular supporting performers (especially Carol Cleveland, who played Zoot and Dingo, and Connie Booth, who played the witch).
Not including all the extras
I love the fact that the Pythons got the finances for the holy grail from rock bands like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd and for Life of Brian they got it from my favourite Beatle George Harrison, not many studios would take a risk on them, they are all regretting that decision
Considering none of the Python movies actually made money, I'm not sure the studios have _that_ much regret.
@@1krani A simple Internet search that took me a few seconds disproves your statement. What an odd thing to lie about
@@A-small-amount-of-peas
I stand corrected: Holy Grail didn't make money. That's why the Pythons had to get financing from George Harrison to begin with.
Such a classic movie. "HELP! HELP! I'M BEING REPRESSED!!!" has never been more accurate than in today's society
Fun fact the killer rabbit in Minecraft is a reference to this movie
@@NeoGen1987 no shit
I mean I don't think they implied that he's wrong. It's just hilarious putting a well read radical anarcho syndicalist in a medieval setting. There were people like that back in the 70's too. Maybe more over here in Europe were socialism isn't a slur and people read french philosophers and such.
@@adrianaslund8605Socialism isn’t a slur anywhere
@@adrianaslund8605no if you listen to the dvd commentary, it’s pretty clear that they’re making fun of the anarchist radicals of their time.
As a huge Monty Python fan I have to say that your reaction brought me so much joy!
And As A New Monty Python Fan, Your Enjoyment Of Watching This With Me Brings Me Joy
@@HelloMellowXVI I throughly enjoyed the clever editing where most of the main jokes were shown with just enough context.
I hope you start watching "Monty Python's Flying Circus" (the tv series, especially seasons 1 and 2, that made them famous and that contains incredible sketches such as "the qrgument sketch" "the ministry of silly walks" the murderous barber that dreqmt of being a lumberjack, etc. It is on Netflix.
His reaction to seeing the Camelot musics scene for the first time gave me tears 😭 😂
the funniest thing is King Arthur keeps saying "Jesus Christ" even though he's supposed to be a devout Christian...
???
@@Silvia_Arienti "Thou shalt not speak the Lords name in vain" or somesuch in the commandments; like saying "god dammit" or similar in a pejorative context.
@@quez2564 Do Americans actually believe that's what that commandment means (I assume you are American so you may have more experience than me since I'm not)? I can't speak for non-American Protestants, but I can say what we (Catholics) believe:
The commandment is present in both the Shemōt/Book of Exodus 20:7 and the Devarim/Book of Deuteronomy 5:11 and the actual text (the one we use, different from the usual American translation) is:
*You shall not make wrongful use of the name of Yahweh your God, for Yahweh will not acquit anyone who misuses his name.*
That is the *second commandment* according to the *Shamerim* (Samaritans) [ *Torah Shomronit* (Samaritan Pentateuch) ], the *Ecclesia Catholica* (Catholic Church) [ *_Catechismus Catholicae Ecclesiae_* (Catechism of the Catholic Church) ], and *Lutheranism* [ *_Der Große Katechismus_* (Luther's Large Catechism) ]; it is the *third commandment* according to *Yahadut Rabanit* (Rabbinical Judasim) [ *Talmud* ], the *Orthodox Catholic Church* (Eastern Orthodox Church) [ *Hē metáphrasis tōn Hebdomḗkonta* (Septuagint) ], and *Calvinism* [ *_Institutio Christianae Religionis_* (Institutes of the Christian Religion) ].
Our teaching is that the commandment is about not abusing the name by *careless speech, false oaths, words of hatred, reproach or defiance against God, and magic* and so it has nothing to do with just saying "God" or "Jesus Christ" in iterjections.
@@Silvia_Arienti aren’t interjections “careless speech” though? I’d think so at least.
@@supC_ "careless speech" is more like saying it because you don't believe anything will actually happen to you
The sheer unbridled joy of someone watching Monty Python for the first time.
"I've never heard of this movie in my life" I suddenly feel very old.
Not sure how the algorithm lead me here, but I'm glad to get to see your reaction to seeing this movie for the first time. There's a reason a lot of kids from the 70s-80s can quote this movie nearly line for line.
I Really Glad That You Enjoyed It. It’s A Fantastic Movie
@@HelloMellowXVI Arthur never finds the Grail in the real stories either. This is the funniest movie I have ever seen, with Young Frankenstein being a close second. Of course, I saw it in the 70's when I was in college.
My youngest son will not watch it if I or my eldest son are in the room. We can't help but spoil it by reciting every single line word for word :)
I ruin the movie for people because I cannot help saying the lines along with the cast. Still one of the funniest movies ever!
Not just the 70s-80s....I am a 90s child and I can quote this movie. I love it, one of the best movies in my opinion!
The didn't have horses because the production literally couldn't afford them.
it literally had 1/500th the budget of Mulan lol
400k that was the budget, this movie should be used to teach students how to make a great movie with a low budget
@@bobbymarr1297 and it is a infinity better movie than mulan goes to show the effects of heart love and fun can do for a movie eh
Coconuts are funnier than horses too. More humor for less money.
They had one
I like the perspective of seeing this movie as an mixture of an amalgamation of sketches, a meme compilation, an excessive amount of Meta-Humor, trolling the audience and overall just a giant shitpost! That's what makes it so unpredictable but also so god damn interesting and hillarious.
The ending is what it is because they couldn’t come up with one that everyone liked.. Timeless classic
Yep, it's a literal cop out! 😂
@@emmaconnolly5738 the ultimate "cop-out"
I was under the impression that they ran out of money, hence why the cop scenes are completely separate from everything else until the end.
I love how you sat through the whole credits expecting a extra scene 😂
Your reaction of this movie is so much better than others’. I’m glad you truly appreciate the type of humor that this movie has.
Thank You So Much, It Was Fun And Hilarious!
@@HelloMellowXVI You might consider reacting to Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, as well.
And a good way to see some of the best their show Flying Circus had to offer is by watching the movie “And Now For Something Completely Different” which is essentially most of their more popular vignettes tied together into a movie length feature film.
I feel bad for Ashleigh Burton, who just didn't get this movie.
Agreed. Not many reactors try to have fun with this movie
Fun fact about the coconut scene: it was based on the fact during the making of the film Monty Python didn't have the budget for real horses. So they improvised.
In germany, the movie is called "Die Ritter der Kokosnuss" translated: knights of the coconut.
If you ever had a chance to watch their TV show, "Monty Python's Flying Circus", you would understand the suddenly interrupted ending of the movie. They did that with a lot of their sketches, especially when there was no better way to close out a sketch. They often did things differently than everyone else did before, or has done to this day.
"He's not the messiah. He's a very naughty boy!."
Life of brian. 😆
So...you are a Woman....no, Ima Roman---THOW HIM ON THE FLOW
Blessed are the cheesemakers
Dude, YES. Watch Life of Brian.
“I’m not the messiah!”
“Thats what the messiah would say!”😂
“Alright, then i am the messiah!”
“He’s the messiah!”
R.I.P. Terry Jones
They didn't have horses as they did not have a big enough budget for them. Ended up with one of the most iconic jokes in film!
Except for the one that killed the historian.
This movie nearly 50 years later is still way ahead of its time.
My favorite part of this movie is just how Arthur reacts to everything being so absurd like the audience would but still in universe
“What’s a newt?” I see the Salamanders have overtaken common amphibian knowledge
Damned Salamanders. Vulkan's pretty cool though, even if he is a bit of a cuddlebug.
Do newts exist in the US? Anyway I'd just describe them as a frog shaped like a lizard lol
I couldn't believe that either. I love this guys laugh but irs like mindsets have really changed. The concept of imagination ...he kept saying things like "how is the black knight alive" .
And woah, not nice comments about the bride . "I wouldn't marry her either"
Dude, they are all playing multiple characters. They always do.
A newt is a semi-aquatic salamander.
"are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?"
Well about that~
Right? XD
Coconuts aren't actually native to the Caribbean. They actually wound up floating there on ocean currents, and thus...migrated. 🤣
Most people miss Sir Bedivere releasing pigeons with coconuts tied to there legs when he's first introduced.
They're also mammals
I don't get why the ending pisses everyone off. From the first time I watched this movie I find the ending just as amusing as the opening credits 🤣
I watched this movie as a kid and it actually took me until like my early twenties for me to realize that it was literally a cop out. I honestly just went with it as a kid and laughed because it was funny and it was just off the wall humor. But I'm glad to understand why they did the ending the way they did
@@shioriryukaze my dad introduced me to this movie as a kid & his explanation for the ending pretty much sums it up when you think about it. Someone said they didn't get why they ended it that way & he said well there wasn't really any other way to end it. If you understand Monty Python's cornball, off the wall, nonsensical humor then you understand.
Great comedy is timeless. Monty Pythons' weird and wonderful sense of humor will always be remembered.
"I fart in your general direction." Still one of my favorite lines in a movie ever.
Now, go away or I shall taunt you a second time!
I had a tee shirt with that on it, with the knight on the castle. My wife was so embarrassed by it, that the shirt mysteriously disappeared. I am now happily divorced. (Not over that particular thing.)
Monty Python’s Flying Circus was a British sketch comedy group that had their own tv show on the BBC.
This movie was really just a collection of comedy skits rather than a serious plot.
Lmao I Can Definitely See That Now
You should read the first draft of the script. Even less of a plot than now. King Arthur and knights etc. only about 50% of the movie. Good thing that they kept writing.
Actually the group is called Monty Python. Monty Python's Flying Circus was the comedy show they did.
@@themoviedealers Yeah, one of the original endings had the knights go to a department store, go to the "grail" department, and buy a holy grail on layaway.
I disagree. "The Meaning of Life" was just "Monty Python's Flying Circus" writ large, but "Holy Grail" did at least attempt a plot. "The Life of Brian", third and best of the Python films, completed the transition from sketch to long form structure.
The killer rabbit scene and the bridge troll scene and the virgin prince scene are my favorite scenes of this movie.... ill add the brave robin part as well.
No he didn't appoint him self as king a watery tart gave him the sword😂😂😂😂
"Why are they having conversations about coconuts?" Waaiitt for it.
Hilarious Start To A Movie
@@HelloMellowXVI
Fun fact: The Black Knight had a boar as an emblem on his chest. Pissed-off Boars are known to keep fighting no matter what.
@@couragew6260 Oh Wow That’s Some Great Small Details
@@couragew6260 And speaking of heraldic charges, the chicken on Sir Robin's coat of arms is in a pose called "coward"
The witch scene is a joke about the logic of the period. They would come up with absurd lines of "logic"...
@Alex Well I mean they would decide the outcome THAN test it. Most often in scenarios like a trial they would torture the person until they confessed than rubber stamp the guilty verdict. My favorite judicial methods of the period were trial by faith and judicial duels.
The faith based would be to perform insane tasks and see if you survived. Like carrying a boiling cauldron around. Oddly many of the successful litigants would later expire of, totally unrelated, their extensive injuries or infection that would surely follow.
if you have the soundtrack the monty python lads basically turned the whole thing into a comedy album
and for that scene they have a track called the logistician where john cleese plays a logical professor who calls that whole fallacy reasoning by sir belvedere out as bullshit.
“She turned me into a NEWT!!”
“A newt?”
“… I got better…”
God, I haven’t watched this movie in years. But it still remains one of my favorites. Probably watched it for the first time in late 90’s. I always stole the insult, “your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries.”
My favourite is "I fart in your general direction"
"Why is he still on that shit?"
Welcome to Monty Python, that may as well be their motto.
I love the ending of the witch scene. "It's a fair cop." She not only admits to being a witch, but concedes that their batshit logic is fair and reasonable.
I think she was being sarcastic.
This was the first time I heard her say that. Always heard"it's not fair", but she actually admitted they sussed her out lmao
She said it's not a fair Court
@@calebchambers377 subtitles say “its a fair cop”
@@calebchambers377 It's definitely "It's a fair cop", Monty Python used it frequently in Flying Circus.
I was legit thinking mount and blade when you said that😂
Seeing his first time viewer reactions are priceless I love this. I hope he hasn't seen airplane
"Where did he get this army from?"
They were carried there by a swallow.
African or european?
@@darthplagueis13 african. it's all about the air speed velocity.
Two sparrows carried the army on a line
@@houngandave ah but an african swallow wouldn't be in britain
@@ITLLBGRAND maybe it's on holiday?
Ahhh, the lovely image and sound of someone discovering Monty Python for the first time.
"Perhaps he was dictating." is one of my favourite lines.
for the black knight scene they found a farmer who actually lost both his arms and a leg, so they only dug 1 hole in the ground to simulate that he lost both his legs, the farmer was more than willing to help in the movie
Watching him loose his mind at the ending is EVERYTHING 😂 subscribed!
Lmao They Trolled Me. I’m So Glad You Enjoyed It
@@HelloMellowXVI Monty Python, the original shitposting trolls. You might enjoy some of their other famous skits, like the dead parrot skit, Ministry of Funny Walks, and I recall a skit or two on a beach that I know I found funny but it was so long ago I couldn't tell you what their main premise was lol
@@mod850 The dead parrot skit is awesome! My favorite Python skit! I especially appreciate it because I actually have a pet parrot, lol.
The whole horse thing was a budget issue, so they decided to use the coconuts.
And it's insanely hilarious.
@@interdimensionalsteve8172 yeah turning a budget problem into a runnin gag is just genious
Yes, the ending is also a budget thing, they were dry as hell at that point, they only had 1 day left, so they got the army, filmed a charge and the arrest, because they didn't have any more time to do anything else, they filmed the last scene withing few hours.
Coconuts were used by sound engineers in radio shows like The Lone Ranger as they sounded life horse's hoofbeats.
In german the movie is called "Knights of the Coconut"...
The wedding scene those where people on a day trip to the castle they asked if they could be in the movie.
I would of loved it.
the best part about this film was that not only is it hilarious, but in highschool THEY LEGIT used this film to help explain the feudal system which was the best thing ever to see them use when i already watched it before years past
"Why the dude so pale"
It's called being English!
Lmao
Terry Jones was actually Welsh, not English.
Sun never shines there
@@sweetcinnamonpnchkin Never thought about ot, but that actually makes a lot of sense!
@@HolyRomanEmperor90 even worse the sun never shines in wales
When the Black Knight is down to one leg, the actor was swapped for a one legged man. Once he lost his last leg, they just buried him into the ground.
And the one legged man was named Richard Burton. So afterwards John Cleese always like to tell people that Richard Burton was his stunt double.
There were only 5 actors in the group, so they all played multiple characters and we were just used to it. The animation was genius, and I wish they would show a whole film of the collected animations from the TV show.
Actually SIX. Terry Gilliam is the only American of the Troupe, and is actually THE animator for Monty Python's Flying Circus. He plays the part of 'Patsy', Arthur's companion with the coconuts. Of the six only 4 are still alive. Terry Jones (Sir Bedevere) passed away in 2020,, and Graham Chapman (Arthur) died in 1989 from cancer. John Cleese (Black Knight/Lancelot/Frenchman) Eric Idle (Sir Robin) Michale Palin (Galahad) and Gilliam are still around. Terry Gilliam BTW directed 12 Monkeys and Time Bandits; John Cleese we'll remember from The Day the Earth Stood Still. Eric Idle is responsible for some of the most popular songs of the TV show and particularly 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life' from Life of Brian (Brian played by Chapman once again a lead character).
I love how you say this is an old style comedy. I was your age when this was released. LMAO I love your reactions.
One of the guys from Monty Python later did a British TV series called "Fawlty Towers" about an incompetent hotel in rural England. It's also hilarious.
I Can Tell These Men Are Genius’s
Will you stop talking about the war!
You started it! No I didn't!
Yes you did....you invaded Poland!
@@jdm1066 that bit is possibly the greatest joke in tv history. Brilliant and perfectly performed.

"Brave Sir Robin fan away!"
"I did not!"
I love this movie
Welcome to the absurd, surreal and intelligent world of Monty Python. The whole comedy troupe of Monty Python played multiple parts, not just Eric Idle. Great to see you enjoying one of my all time favourite films. Monty Python’s Life of Brian is another classic, if not THE classic.
The five members of Monty python always played multiple roles in every episode of their TV show and all their movies.
Fantastic Acting
6 including Terry Gilliam.
Six members. Terry Gilliam--the only American member--didn't speak often, although he has a few lines as Patsy and the Bridgekeeper.
Since Graham Chapman got the lead role he was limited to playing Arthur and one-third of the three-headed knight...and the guard with hiccups...and maybe one of the French knights.
5 ???? 6 !!!!!!
“HELP HELP ! I’m being repressed” fucking gold lol
Now we see the violence inherent in the system!
What a suitable comment when we are all in lockdown
9:31 In most of the scenes the Black Knight is played by John Cleese (who also plays sir Lancelot, the French Taunter, Tim the Enchanter and many others in the movie).
For the scene where the Black Knight has one leg, they hired a local blacksmith who happened to have one leg.
The final scene where the Black Knight had no limbs left, the dug a hole in the ground where John Cleese could stand in and put the costume over him.
What was priceless was watching your reaction. This is what everyone else's reactions where the first time around. For me, the movie became the background and you were at the forefront. Laughter is a wonderful thing to share and it was a damn pleasure watching you enjoy such a ludicrous movie. Watch it a few more times and I can practically guarantee you'll find things that you missed before.
We who have seen the movie, were laughing at your reaction to the end of the movie. Now when you introduce this movie to friends and loved ones, YOU can laugh at them, as you know the joke at the end of the film. The members of Monty Python couldn't figure our an end, so it was a Literal and a Figurative "Cop Out" of an ending.
Also because of budget
If I recall, one of the endings they thought of was that the grail was in a mall.
@@jasminemiller7485 Harrod's to be exact.
It actually ended like that because they ran out of budget and didn't have the money to film the ending battle scene. Same with the horses. They couldn't afford horses, so they just though that would be funnier anyway.
Watching someone else's joyful reaction to this movie is at least as funny as seeing it yourself. You gotta see everything Monthy Python!
I agree, but I must say that The Flying Circus hasn’t aged well. A lot of the political jokes are lost to most people at this point. But there are still enough silly skits that make it worth sitting through it.
My suggestion would be Fawlty Towers. Still my favorite!
Agreed
For a non-comedy that is set in a medieval fantasy setting, I recommend "Willow" starring Warwich Davies and Val Kilmer.
Also you should definitely check out Excalibur for an old movie retelling of the Arthurian legend featuring actors like Liam Neeson, Helen Mirrim, Patrick Stewart, and others.
Have you seen Starship Troopers?
You saying you're trying to get to 500 subs, just for me to scroll down and see you sitting on 160k is so inspiring, good for you man. proud of you and how far you've come!
Seeing Americans discover and love Monty Python is one of the omly things that makes me proud to be British! Great video dude, keep it up! Subscribed :)
Thank You So Much, I Had So Much Fun With This Can’t Wait To Watch Life Of Brian And Blazing Saddles
Oh but there is so much more to be proud of. Don't forget Benny Hill and AbFab! Priceless!
Monty Python's Flying Circus was shown on PBS back in the 1970's. Loved it.
I’ve watched this movie several times a year for the last 30 years or so. These old school British movies are classics
My parents introduced me to Monty Python at a young age. They actually crossed a picket line at the local movie theatre when Life of Brian came out.
I’m so happy someone younger has learned of Monty Python. Their television series was just as, if not more outrageous.
Their sketch show is on Netflix. Some of those sketches are so ridiculously outrageous and I love it. The 70s were a trip man
THANK YOU. You watched my favorite movie of all time, and your reactions were priceless. 😁 And you sat through all that music at the end, waiting for something that never came! 🤣🤣 I love when people get pissed off about that. Great video!
"this song makes me wanna play mount & blade"
Your relation to HERO4THSKII Has increased by 3 to 3.
Monty Python's "Life of Brian" is hilarious also.
That’s Coming Up Soon As Well
@@HelloMellowXVI I'm there.
Yes, definitely do Life of Brian, it's truly a classic.
Sermon on the Mount scene is the best! Also, the Pontius Pilate scene is classic. There are just so many awesome scenes in Life of Brian.
That "Message for you Sir" is actually my notification tone...
They found the Holy Grail but they were arrested before they could get it.When the French guy told King Arthur his master already had a holy grail he was telling him the truth.
This is the first video I’ve ever seen by this guy but his reactions are so hilarious that he’s instantly earned my subscription!😂😆🤣
The ending was literally a cop out. That’s the joke.
Lancelot getting arrested was pretty dang funny too for the murder of the old historian guy. 🤣🤣
True thats the joke but doesnt mean it isnt a shitty one. Otherwise the movie is great fun.
"It's a fair cop."
