Watching Monty Python for the First Time… (Holy Grail)

Somehow this movie dosen't feature a Python named Monty. It just has a Grail named Holy.

"I'm perplexed"- Judge This is the natural response from a non-british person seeing seeing Monty Python for the first time

Seeing Jude frown throughout this entire thing while Brendan is smiling and quoting all the lines is comedy gold

Also Jude was right that this movie didn’t have much of a budget The original ending was supposed to have a giant fight which would have ended with a swallow dropping a coconut on the French guard’s head, but they couldn’t do that so they just went with the next best thing

Well, that's no ordinary rabbit. That's the most foul, cruel, and bad

It never fails to amuse people when they learn this; The reason they’re banging coconuts together to mimic the sound of horse galloping is because the budget couldn’t afford actual horses. Another fact I learned recently was (if you look closely you can tell) King Arthur is the only one wearing actual chain mail armor, everyone else is wearing knitted wool that’s been painted silver. My friend also told me that the director’s son was the one flattened by the cow in the French knight scene, and his son also had the model of Camelot for the song scene.

The Monster chasing Arthur and his cohorts is intense that Terry Gilliam suffered a fatal heart attack. That scene is the greatest fourth wall breaking at its peak.

This movie was scientificly designed for mws

This movie actually WAS filmed on-location in Scotland. Actually, the Pythons were only allowed to film at one castle, Doune Castle, so they had to film it from every possible angle imaginable to make it look like different castles. So…you’re going to do Life of Brian next, right? It has some very YouTube-unfriendly parts you’d have to cut out, but it’s just as hilarious and also has an actual plot.

The Trojan horse worked because the one guy who delivered it (supposedly) said it was a gift from Athena, they believed it because who would use a gods name for lies. But Athena was like "Sick tactics bro." and didn't smite them.

"Half of this movie is just frustrating conversations". Yup, that's British comedy for ya

Jude being perpetually confused is exactly how I felt as I have never seen this movie.... but now I have so thanks for that.

Nobody talks about how the soundtrack for this movie is actually an absolute banger

"Have a grail" -Sir Judethur of the Knights of the Microwaved Society "We are the Knights who say...Ta, ta, ta, Shh!" -Lord Brendan of Kentuckyshire

Jude’s utter confusion at everything in the movie fills my very soul with a joy that I never thought I would ever experience in my life

For context, the farmers are digging peat which is used for fuel in medieval times.

Here's a fun little fact about The Black Knight. On his armor has a boar on, which are animals known to keep on fighting even if they are sustaining mortal wounds. I am fairly certain you can see the connection.

This is the best movie choice you could've possibly movie choiced, excluding Life Of Brian

I once watched this movie with my grandfather, and when the cops showed up to arrest one of the knights after the bridge scene, he jokingly said “the holy grail is just inside the trunk of the police car” And considering the ending of the movie that may be actually what happened lmao

This movie is probably the first to make me physically exhausted from crying and laughing so many fucking times
