Hello, I just want to tell you that I suffer from generalized anxiety + moderate depression and this video made me smile so much that my face hurts. Thank you thank you very much!
@@kulamars I love that! Thank you 😊
The most hilarious part is the fact that you didn't know it was the same 6 guys playing every part in the movie.
@@BrandonFaul
The Meaning of Life is another great Monty Python film
Best part is - they arrested the wrong person. The knight that killed the historian is the only knight on a real horse.
Ironically it was John cleese on the horse that killed the historian
Men can dismount horses rather easily, and perhaps the horse is tied up in the woods, while they DID get the attacker? He may have even sold it to the local peasants to further distance himself from the attack. If you'll notice the horseman's helmet, it's not like any of the Python players, but the grunt knights, quite a few of them have the same helmet. The opening in the helmet, for the eyes and mouth, are shaped like a cross.
I knew this movie was clever but the more I hear & think about it I'm just absolutely amazed. The amount of things that can go over the viewers head is practically strategic and genius. These guys we're ahead of their time!
The more history you know, the funnier it is. A lot of things in the film that seem merely absurd or inexplicable are actually based on historical realities of the Middle Ages. And the film was very much of its time, a time when people were well-read enough to recognize a lot of the historical allusions and before public education had come under attack so people got more of the jokes.

I've heard that "Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries" is actually a real insult. As I understand it, Hamsters are notoriously fast-breeding rodents, and Elderberries can be made into wine.
So he's implying his mother was a whore, and his father a drunk.
I used to laugh so hard as a kid when the the French guy says, "You're mother was a hamster! And your father smelt of elderberries!" It wasn't till I was an adult that I realized that they were referring to the fact that hamsters are famous for the amount of procreation they do, and that wine was made from elderberries. I said that line to so many kids on the playground without realizing that I was calling their mother a whore, and their father a drunk.
Absolutely! Monty Python are total geniuses!!
And you can thank Pink Floyd, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin. All great fans, and investors of this film. You could say it is the most successful fan film ever made.
Python's humor is absurd, surreal, silly and oddly brilliant. The more you know about the King Arthur story the times and the characters, the more amazing it is. Many of us grew up watching their TV show in the early 70s. Soon, we were all imitating their accents and skits, turning everyday events into the depraved. When they quit doing the show we thrived on reruns. Then they put out this movie. We were already acclimatized so it was slipping into a warm comfortable tub. The theater was packed when I saw it in '75. Nearly everyone there was around my age and the laughter was frequent and loud.
And the greatest thing about Monty Python's Flying Circus is that, as John Cleese admitted, when the crew pitched it to the producers, they hadn't the slightest idea what they were actually going to do with the tv slot. It was all kinda 'make it up as you go along', and anyone else probably would've made a frantic disaster of it. But these were the creative minds of Eric Idle, Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gillam, Terry Jones and Michael Palin. And when you put them together, you got this mix of crazy and brilliant, ludicrous and genius. And naughty. Very naughty.
I got to see the Broadway version of Grail, Spamalot, a few...ok, more than a few... years back. 'God' was voiced by a recorded John Cleese, and though he wasn't actually there, his voice got a standing o after it was over. The Pythons and Holy Grail are as iconic in its own way as Queen and Bohemian Rhapsody is in theirs.
😂😂😂This is too funny. You might want to give Monty Python’s Life of Brian a watch next. 😂😂
Ya I saw that was a popular one too!
Second this Cindy, one of my favorite movies of all time :) Have a great week!
Life of Brian is a better movie, but the jokes aren't quite as far out. It's still my favorite of them, though.
@@WolfHreda Well, "better" is subjective (I happen to agree with you, but that's just my opinion), but it is certainly a more _traditional_ movie with more of a continuous story and plot, rather than a string of mostly independent sketches loosely tied together by a common theme and characters. It is also a lot heavier on the satire than Holy Grail.
@@Wishbone1977 you ain't lying
You know, you are more fun to watch than most anybody.
The ending was literally a "cop out"
17:19 "Hes buggered off"
One of my favourite lines in the whole film, which is infinitely quotable XD
The end is deliberate. A literal "cop out" lol
Something I always love about this film that no one ever seems to get is the depiction of the flagellants (the monks who were hitting themselves with their books). During times of turmoil, there were people who were convinced that the plague or famine or war was divine punishment, so they whipped themselves through the streets in an attempt to atone for their sin and inspire the population to repent. I also love the dirty drawings in the margins of each chapter of the film: this was absolutely a practice of those horny little monks as well.
This movie was funded by rock bands and record companies. Eric Idle revealed that Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull frontman Ian Anderson had all contributed to the budget. Other financiers included Micheal White, Island Records, Charisma Records, Heartaches Cricket Team and Chrysalis Records.
I never knew that! I love all those bands! And now I love them more! Thanks for the info!
"bring out your dead" Was shouted each night during the plague in London, and probably other cities as well.
People who had died that day had to be buried in open pits (called plague pits) because there we so many of them, and people had go round collecting that day's dead people to be carted off to the plague pits. So people would go round with carts shouting 'Bring out your dead" and people who were lockdown due to plague had to open their doors and hand over their dead relatives.
We had an old plague pit near us. It had been converted into a park because no one wanted to dig foundations for houses on it.
Plagues were quite common in Europe at that period. One third of the population of Europe died in the Black Death, due to bubonic plague. And bubonic plague kept coming back. Lockdowns were very severe, people had their doors nailed shut and red crosses painted on the door on them if they had a case of plague in the house. I'm not sure how they managed to bring out their dead if their doors had been nailed shut. Maybe they threw them out the windows.
"bring out your dead" is a phrase most English people will know, but it needs explanation for non-English people
The funny thing is, coconuts DO migrate. They're designed to float for ages.
34:30 _All_ of the guys playing different characters so apparently _not_ still recognisable. 😉 Great reaction!
Took me _years_ to accept that weedy Prince Herbert was played by Terry Jones (Sir Bedevere).
@@ScreamingScallop I've watched this film a million times and consider myself to be quite an authority, but this is something I did _not_ know. Now _I'll_ have to take years to accept that. 🤦♂
@@ScreamingScallop - WHAT? I was wondering watching this movie, why they had an "extra" playing that prince, when all of the other central roles were played by the Python crew... Even knowing it's him, I STILL can't tell that it's him. My brain is glitching out by this information...
My friend's dad was a Sears tv/stereo salesman back around 1977. As a perk, he got a big Sears TV with a built-in custom video tape recorder/player. They included a tape of the Grail in the bundle. So we got to watch the movie. We rewound the scene with the new name of the Knights of Ni about 30 times to get the new name straight. You need to understand it was revolutionary to be able to rewind a movie. This was before VHS and Beta VCRs came out. You couldn't rewind TV. You might record an 8mm film, have it developed and then play it at home on a reel-to-reel projector and then rewind, but not TV! "We are now the knights who say echy, echy, echy, echy FU-tang ZU-boing gahzaaangz ... Ni!" delivered by the magic of brand new modern technology. There were some disagreements about some of the syllables, but hey, that's life.
Yes, I always thought it was 'ptang' after the ecky, eckies...
You need to know these things, when you're a king.
So the entire joke about the shrubbery was always just like this throwaway joke to me because I didn't get it as anything more than just this weird, bizarre conceit... until I went to University in the UK, and all the Brit kids around me were laughing hysterically at that part, and I didn't understand what was so damn funny, so I finally asked them what was so amusing... and that's when I finally got the joke. It's a joke that doesn't cross the ocean well. So I always explain it to everybody who is from the US and doesn't understand.
So essentially, it all hangs on a bit of 70s slang. In essence the joke revolves around: a shrubbery is a bush, and a bush is a prostitute. So these guys are out in the woods by themselves for years, and they really want to have a girl to diddle... and so they asked them to bring them a prostitute. So when they get to town and there's a guy who "arranges and tastefully decorates shrubberies", and he's has his hair done just so & has a cart and all that, and he comes driving up looking fancy, and his name is Roger the Shrubber... To roger someone means to screw them; you "roger them"... & he sells shrubberies AKA bushes AKA prostitutes... so essentially they are saying so his name is "F*cker, The Pimp".
And then they bring an actual shrubbery to the knights in the woods, and the knights are like, "you're not understanding what we're trying to get from you. Yes this is very nice but this is not what we were asking for, so go get us another one, and get it right this time." That is the joke that is actually hilarious, because the movie is full of sex jokes, but as noble knights of the Round Table (& possibly also a bit dim / in the meathead category), those guys aren't supposed to know about stuff like that because they are too pure, so they missed the point.
You are now enlightened, LOL
Unbeknown to past-me, I wore my "Knights who say Ni" t-shirt today, only to find my future-self watching your reaction video.
Monty Python is a comedy troupe of 6 people so they are all popping up as different characters.
I don't think they get the Grail in the legend of King Arthur either.
1. What about the moose?
2. Robin's suit and shield are adorned with a chicken
3. The first time I saw this was in the back of a pickup with my siblings and a couple of friends.(It's still here btw)😎
4. Perfect Monty Python where you can just get sucked into something where you don't have to think about anything and just let yourself go.
5. "What ya gonna do? Bleed on me." 🤣 "Let's call it a draw" 🤣
6. Quick bit: "Blow it out your ass"!
7. The budget didn't allow real horses.
8. The only horse in the film is ridden by the guy that killed the historian.
9. The ending is a "Cop out". (They ran out of 💲💲💲)
I always love to see the reaction to the killer bunny. IT KILLS ME EVERY TIME!
Well, of course it does. It’s a killer bunny, after all.
This was a tragic tale of police profiling and false arrest. The killer of the famous historian had a REAL HORSE.
Fun fact: Aside from "We're Knights of the Round Table" and Sir Robin's minstrels' song, all the music was taken from the De Wolfe Library, a resource for music clips. You can find most cues on CZcams now.
Actually, all of them (except Grahame Chapman (Arthur) play different characters throughout (and even Chapman is one of the two guards in the Prince's room):
John Cleese (Lancelot) is also, among others, Tim the Enchanter, the Black Knight and the Frenchman
Michael Palin (Galahad) is the Swamp King, the Peasant, the Narrator, and the reader of the instructions for the Holy Hand Grenade
Terry Jones (Bedivere) is also the Prince, and other minor roles
Terry Gilliam (who is American) is the animator for all the sequences. He also plays Patsy, Arthur's "horse" and the Soothsayer, among others
Eric Idle is Brave Sir Robin, sweet Concorde, and of course, Roger the Shrubber.
Coconuts do actually migrate, floating in the ocean! It is rare but totally real that coconuts have washed up in the UK.
OMG I grew up on this movie! It's hilarious! Thanks for reminding me about it. I'm gonna have to go watch it again. 😅😂😊
To be fair, they don't always get the Grail in the Arthur stories either. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
Oh my god I’m buying this movie 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣 your reactions are gold ✨👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Definately worth it! Thank you 😊
14:00 ... who knew they'd have a COWtapult? 😉🤣
I want a lot of movie reactions, but this channel is one of the best. I'm glad I found you.💪
I see your subbed to mellverse so I'll take your word for it! Thank you welcome aboard! 😊
@@BrandonFaul I'm subscribed to at least 15 movie reactors. Maybe more. Welcome to the family!
And that is how you troll everyone for an hour n half
Your laugh is contagious! Great video
My favorite running joke of the film is sir belavere was supposed to be the wisest of all the Knights and he makes horrible decisions, can't figure out how to say ni, and keeps having to life his visor when he can clearly see out of it.
The ending was a cop out. The cops came and ended the filming.
Python: Trumpets playing out of butts
Brandon: 'Interesting.'
I love this reaction.
Brave, brave Sir Robin has a big chicken on his shield.
Imagine being buzzed with a friend and scanning the channels for something to watch late at night back in the early 80`s. We found this at the start and had no idea what it was. We laughed so hard and thought what the hell are we watching? It was so funny and stupid. That was my first time watching Monty Python.
Horses were not included in the financial budget of this film because the film crew spent too much money on rabbits.
One of my fav movies of all time!!! I was a teenager in the 70s. I'm 63 now. This was an example of the kind of entertainment my generation grew up with. Explains a lot, right?! Lol!!! Like why I am commenting on a 12 day old video!! (Well, in my defense, I did just now get it!) Now if you don't mind, I am going to go find a shrubbery & then I just want to ----- SING!! 😂😂😂
PS, you would love the movie "Clue"!!!
The Pythons were the definition of brilliant. This move is almost 50 years old and Millennials still laugh at the jokes in all the right places. Timeless humor.
Blazzing saddles is an absolute must for people your age, it's Mel Brooks master piece, and I really enjoy watching new generations watch it, it's from 1974 and it's a satire western that's all you need to know I hope you know nothing else about it
This is such a great movie from credits to the long ending. I love it. This is in my library of movies. Such classic humor. Some classic lines in this. My favorite character is the French knight. "I fart in your general direction!" & "Runaway! Runaway!" Great reaction!
Now you know why the credits were at the start! :) Saw it freshman year of college at midnight in a theater for a buck since I brought coconut shells to clap with.
Back then, the credits were always at the beginning
Your laughter is very infectious. XD Glad you enjoyed this wonderfully absurd movie.
The Funny Thing is Arthur and his Knights get falsely Arrested because none of his Knights ride a horse and the knight who killed the Historian is tge only Knight who rode a Horse
Something a lot of people miss is that heraldic image on "Brave" Sir Robin's shield and tunic is a chicken.
The ending was a 'cop out'. It's a joke and because they didn't have the money for a real battle scene
The ending was a cop out. 😂
the Holy Grail is the friends you made along the way.
To be fair, in the original story, nobody gets the Grail either .... and in the original story, of the knights we have here, only Galahad ever saw the Grail at all (because he was pure). So. They got that right!
(And a lot of research went into the making of this sublimely silly movie, which helps with all the atmosphere that we get).
I love your reactions! It's so gratifying seeing a young person watch this movie. I saw it first. Run in the theater. And yeah it was out of this world insane. The ending took everyone by surprise and the theater was silent for a few moments after the movie ended and then there was a little laugh over there and a little laugh over here and pretty soon we were all just laughing because we realize what it just happened. It still is the most or one of the most amazing movies I've ever seen. And I love the board game pythonopoly. It's Monopoly based on this movie. You really need to check it out. 5:57
Life of Brian is Monty Python's best movie IMO. Anyway, enjoyed your reaction.
Indiana Jones found the Holy Grail in "The Last Crusade"!
Thi is my absolute favorite comedy of all time! 😂😂! ❤ great reaction!
Well of course they didn’t find the Holy Grail - nobody ever has!
The end is a total cop out. Enjoy
I love how you can tell they ran out of money. The end.
Sir Lancelot was John Wick's ancestor.
Lancelots Sword-Fu Was Amazing!
Sorry if someone already said it, but the ending was a literal "cop out".
I maintain that Sir Galahad has the most deadly challenge of all the knights. 8 score. That's 160 hyped up young ladies who all seen to want to become nymphomaniacs. That is a guaranteed cardiac arrest for Galahad! Ok, there are considerably worse ways to die. But Lancelot saved his life none the less 😂
I hope everyone is having an amazing week & much love to all from here in the UK
The ending was... literally... wait for it... a cop out... 🤣🤣🤣
I have trouble getting through the opening credits when I am watching the movie because I am laughing so hard. It's hard to see the screen through the tears. The subtitles aren't in any language but remind me of people who think they can speak a language by taking English words and making them sound like they are German or Swedish, etc.
I want to see a rhetorical death match between the French-Taunter guy vs. Gunnery Sargent Hartman from Full Metal Jacket - see which one out-sauces the other first.
very nice to see you discovering Monty-P!..it's always been one of my alltime faves!..just wait untill you watch"BIGGIS-DICKUS"
Watching people react to the movie is funnier than watching the movie… especially when we get to the end. 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, reading that summary beforehand didn't do you any favors. This movie is best experienced like an accidental acid trip.
People seem really bothered that I read it. I wanted it to be apart of my video. I still enjoyed myself. I know others feel like I ruined it but I highly disagree.
Great reaction! I once watched this movie with my cousin and she was like “what did I just watch”? Another one their movies that is also really funny is Life of Brian. Check it out sometime if you have it already!
"God" never told them they actually have to find the Holy Grail, He just wanted them to seek it.
The quest is never ending. Lol. But to those of us who were Python fans we were used to such abrupt endings. Skits often segued into one another without warning. Also in the original legend the grail is never obtained by Arthur only by Sir Galahad because he was pure at heart. That's why the Castle Anthrax scene is so funny if you know Grail lore.
The members of monty python played most of the characters themselves
Then end is a cop put 😆
Absurdist humour at its best. Python were genius and they were so clever at destroying old tropes. My favorite scenes are still the witch trial and of course Castle Anthrax.
The original script had the knights buying the Grail at London department store Harrod's.
Interesting lol
'Uno reverse card' 🤣🤣🤣
Life of brian is just as good.
To truly appreciate the diversity of British comedy, you should watch scenes from Goodness Gracious Me, and the Lenny Henry show
The end can surely be considered to be the ultimate cop out. ✌🏼😎🐇🔪
If you want to try another classic, ‘Dr. Strangelove: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb’. As far as I know, the only comedy by Stanley Kubrick. 1964, black and white, dark humor, totally worth it.
I've watched so many young people react to this movie and a lot, lot, lot of them are really bothered that they don't get the grail; some actually get angry about it. This reaction is really strange to me, and I think part of it is that young people for about three decades have been raised playing electronic games where everything is goal-focused and they end up expecting goal-fulfillment in films. Anyway, just the thoughts of someone who was alive when this film was released.
Interesting thought but I don't think it's that deep. Also not everyone enjoys electronic games. I think it has to do with the title of the movie and the initial quest for the grail in the first place. Without the theory of "video games shaping the youth" as the reason, the majority of cinema we watch usually shows the main character or group completing their mission after a bit of adversity. Of course we're going to mention the fact that they never get the grail because it's totally unexpected. A twist no one sees coming & me personally I think it's hilarious. For someone to get angry over that is silliness to me lol Thanks for watching! Have a good one!
I think the people who don't like the ending haven't ever watched the TV series.
Monty Python literally tore up the rule-book with the way they created their shows. Sketches just ended without a punchline, or segued into an entirely different sketch, or would get interrupted by an animation.
So to have the cast arrested and the film just stop unexpectedly is *exactly* the sort of thing Monty Python would do - the one thing they definitely WOULDN'T do is a Normal, Hollywood-style happy ending!
There is a documentary out a few years ago about the group and the making of the movie. Goes over how bad the budget and what they could manage to film Amazingly talent group that started working as a group at and right after university. Definitely been to see th doc an watch some of their tv shows. Also a fish called Wanda is goreat but not the entire group. A funny heist film
Good times! I was like 12 when I first saw this and I couldn't wrap my mind around why Sir Galahad wanted to leave Castle Anthrax!
I would've stayed for sure 😂
To be fair, Galahad wanted to stay but that Lancelot - always a heartbreaker.
😄👍✨ you Really appreciated this I think 😁 I enjoyed your reaction enormously…Thank You for the laughs 🤗
My pleasure!!
At 14:20 the French threw a bird that flew away
Definitely ahead of its time - by 50 years - predicting the discontinuation of the movie because of a death on set and subsequent arrest - Rust? 😎😇
Mpnty Python's Flying Circus is made up of 5 men who play a wide variety of characters throughout the TV show episodes, stage shows and movies. They are all making multiple appearances throughout this movie. They even play women. They are brilliant.
Six men- John Cleese, Eric Idle, Graham Chapman, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and Terry Gilliam. Gilliam, the only American in the group, is often overlooked because he mainly provided the animation. However, he did appear as characters at times. In Holy Grail, he played Patsy (coconut man) and the bridgekeeper, among other roles.
@@stephenkehl7158 My mistake. I would never intentionally ignore Terry Gilliam.
Ironic thing is that i bought nearly the same kind of rabbit for my daughter...
I have been trolling her about the killer beast ever since 😂
Always better to watch “elevated”
And you will catch more things when you watch it more times. You will also find yourself quoting this movie.
That ending is a cop-out.
You have to read the credits' subtitles. LOL
Also, watch for the rampant but subtle cat abuse - they step on one during the dance at Camelot, the old woman they say "ni" to is beating a carpet with one, etc.
Did'nt miss it! lol
The black knight rudely is invincible, but Excalibur is the magical sword all other magical swords what to be.
that is Monty Python
Enjoyed watching your reaction to this movie. If you enjoy Brit comedy, I'd recommend an old favorite t.v. show of mine. It's called A Thin Blue Line.
It's a cop out!
How dare you say ni! I did not come here to be assaulted, good day to you sir!
So the synopsis gives massive spoilers, best to miss out on reading it until after you watch the film
Not much explaining of Monty Python, just hilarious. Watch Life of Brian
No holy grail. Also, nobody called Monty Python. The 'and the' was sound, though.
Not sure if someone has said this. But the bit with the monks banging their heads with bibles are a gag reference to 'Bible Bashers'. Bible Bashers are what we in the UK call Christians who a known for being very forceful in imposing their religious views on to people.
Hiii just watching u rn! Happy ramadan, may Allah forgive all our sins!
i think it's against the geneva convention to throw animals at soldiers in war or should be
🤗😂💪🦵😳👍
