    The irony is that they were arrested for killing "Famous Historian" but they didn't do it...the guy who killed Famous Historian was on horseback-with a real horse-and everyone in Arthur's group had to make due with coconuts.

    My absolute favourite joke is the running gag about the swallows and the coconuts. And how it culminates at the end where the king can ask an informed clarification. His response, "You have to know these things when you're king" kills me. It's so funny to me. But my brother and I quote Dennis' scene all the time. Just because some moistened bint lobed a scimitar at you... LOL

      Never personally thought of the high level meta joke of there being no credits at the end because all the credit guys got sacked. I will say this...the real world reason the movie ends when it does is the boys literally ran out of money and that was after they got investments from the members of at least 2 legendary bands, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. Supposedly, the band Pink Floyd loved the show so much that they would stop recording to watch the broadcast of the show.

    The non-ending is equal parts frustrating and amazing.
    It’s also a call back to their other work (like Monty Python’s flying circus) where they often didn’t know how to end a skit and would have a cop come in and stop the whole thing because it had become too silly.

    • @slowerthinker
      @slowerthinker Pƙed rokem

      ON the first time you see the film the ending is *incredibly* frustrating especially as the action appears to be building to a climax and a resolution that you have spent the last hour anticipating. Furthermore as it is the final thing you see and the memory the film leaves you with it does also poisons quite a few people's initial opinions of the film.
      After you've seen it a few times it is absolutely hilarious.

    • @Wungolioth
      @Wungolioth Pƙed rokem +1

      The original script had an ending with God showing up in a getaway car and an ensuing car chase, but as previously stated, they ran out of money. Another joke often missed, King Arthur, Lancelot and Bedevere are arrested for killing the historian, even though the knight who killed him is the only one in the entire movie that rides an actual horse.
      Edited when I realized, oh yes, Roger the Shrubber also rides a horse, and that makes me wonder...

    Lots of stuff about this movie.
    Funding from rock stars made "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" possible. Cleese and his fellow Pythons had to find $400,000, and the money eventually came from bands including Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin.
    If you look in the background through the movie, you'll see people swinging cats at stuff. The enchanter being named Tim was supposedly a forgotten line... Cleese got there and forgot what his name was supposed to be so he just said Tim and the rest of the cast went with it. During the witch scene, at one point, Eric Idle has to bite his farm tool to keep from laughing waiting on Cleese to deliver his line. You see the police at various scenes as they follow Arthur... at the shrubbery they gave to the Knights, at the cave of the Vorpal Bunny, etc.
    The taunts by the French guard are great... you cheesy lot of second-hand electric donkey bottom biters! etc. ;)

    I don't know what my favorite joke in this movie is, but back in the seventies when I first saw it, I would crack up at the line "What a strange person," said during their first encounter with the French taunter. I don't know why that made me laugh so much, maybe just the way he said it and its incommensurate mildness. I also loved the faux-biblical wording when they were revealing the Holy Hand Grenade - the Book of Armaments, "blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy," etc.

    In old movies, the credits appear on the start of the film and the movie just ends with "The End". It's only in the 70s that majority of movies started to move the credits to the end. The film credited with making this popular is not surprisingly George Lucas' Star Wars, although the film wasn't the first to do so.
    Terry Jones did a docu-series about medieval people called Medieval Lives. It's absolutely informative and also hilarious to boot. You could also see where the research into medieval history went in The Holy Grail film.

    Something that’s particularly weird in its accuracy in this movie is that there really are medieval illustrations depicting murderous rabbits. The white rabbit in the movie was loaned to the Pythons. What they didn’t realize until later was that the red dye they used wouldn’t properly wash out of the fur, so, much to the owner’s dismay, they ended up with a pink rabbit.

    First, King Arthur never found the Grail so this part of the movie is accurate.

    And finally, fourth... I'd recommend watching the tv series, Monty Python's Flying Circus, which had 4 seasons spanning 45 episodes. It might be a bit hard to edit for youtube (I foresee lots of cuts, muted moments and flipped footage) but the show if worth it.

    THAt WAS GREAT! Loved how the ending got you - it was a literal cop-out. You sat there waiting and anticipating, as almost everyone does. Lots of the Flying Circus sketches end abruptly with a cop arresting or military officer halting the players. Or they just transition with no warning into another unrelated sketch. So this ending follows in the same style.
    Liked your "smoke 'em if ya got 'em" at intermission.
    I think my favorite scene is 24 with the old man who disappears. It is just so well done. What with the costumes and cinematography and the great acting, they could have made a fantastic serious period piece. My favorite joke is the ongoing saga of coconut and swallows.
    Your suggestion that Lancelot could just pretend to be a guest did not fit his idiom. That popped into my head as you said it.
    Oh, and before Star Wars the credits were always up front and we just got "The End" at the end. Glad you didn't have a seizure from the llamas.

      and it was interesting to hear Jay question whether his name had something to do with it - "Lance a lot" - huh... I'd never actually thought of that myself..! Wonder if that was indeed intended from the Pythons themselves, or if you just superimposed your OWN reasonably decent 'interpretation joke' over it...
      Not sure... but funny either way... well done Jay..!
      Things like this often occur with regards to other comedies also, particularly Airplane! - another film Jay recently reacted to..!
      Like the wife who was in bed with the horse... a lot of younger reactors interpret a much "dirtier" meaning to that gag than was originally intended... something to do with the Godfather I gather...

      @@JayBondReacts My copy of the film has the policeman put his hand over the camera lens, the film breaks and that’s it. In theatres, the film breaks and lights up. Sometimes they cut to a different film, until the audience got the joke and walked out. I think later they added 20 seconds of blank screen (with music) to show the abrupt ending was a deliberate choice because people thought there was a technical problem. This was extended to 3-4 min in some regions’ DVDs. The joke was in the subtitles, not that the subtitle makers were sacked therefore no end credits. Old movies always had credits at the start and just finished with “The End.”

    The cool thing is, most of the genius comedy bits came about because of their tiny, tiny budget and its restrictions. Can't afford horses? Use coconuts! Ran out of money before filming the end? Cops come and arrest everyone. It's also cheaper to film two people talking for minutes on end rather than action setpieces, hence why there are so many jokes that just last forever.
