HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 сен 2024
- First time watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1952) classic British comedy and this movie reaction was amazing with so many quotable scenes. For instance, What did the knights who say ni change their name to?
“We are no longer the knights who say Ni! We are now the knights who say ekki-ekki-ekki-pitang-zoom-boing!”Monty Python and the Holy Grail credits reaction was too hilarious, something to do with a moose.If you enjoyed my Monty Python reaction then be sure to Like, Subscribe and turn on that notification bell to enjoy more movies with the camp.What is the forbidden word in knights of Ni?
It is then revealed that the Knights who say Ni can't stand hearing the word "it", as it causes them excruciating pain, much like saying Ni! causes pain on their victims. King Arthur remains completely oblivious to this weakness, but can't avoid using the word. In response, the Knights of Ni continue to writhe in pain.
villains.fando... Monty
Python and the Holy Grail inappropriate?

"Well I could stay a BIT longer...." best line.
😂😂😂
I love it when people try to turn off the subtitles at the beginning...
Back in 1975, they couldn't have anticipated that turning off subtitles would be an option...could they?
This is one of the greatest works of art ever made.
Fun fact - the heraldic animal on Brave Sir Robin's tunic and shield was...a chicken.
If you left the extra 40 minutes of black screen at the end on purpose then I salute you, sir.
Intermission!
The police were investigating the murder of the historian, which was performed by someone with an actual horse. So it could not have been Arthur or his men.
Yooooooo you're right!!!
I recommend you react to (Medieval Comedy Movies)

Terry Gilliam was the cartoonist (and sometimes actor) for Monty Python. After Monty Python he went on to become a phenomenal director. “12 Monkeys”, “Fisher King”, “Time Bandits”, and “Brazil” (full director’s cut) are all well worth checking out. 👍
Also, Terry Gilliam is/was the only non-Britain in the group. He is originally from Minneapolis, MN.
You forgot his best movie, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas!
Wait, HE made 12 monkeys?!
Awesome 0o0
@@montyclown223 Yeppers, same guy
And in this movie he's the old man from scene 24 guarding the bridge.
The scene with the two peasants and Arthur is fantastic. Great reaction, thank you!
This is the happiest I've ever seen anyone at the "Knights who say Ekke Ekke Ekke (etc.)" scene. It's like I'm watching it again for the first time with a buddy. Fantastic.
Lol yo! I legit walk around randomly saying "Ni" or "Ekke Ekke potaaang".
Hahahahaha now you got it back in my head xD
As an old English teacher, I can say great strategy of pausing the video to look stuff up, and not just breeze by it. I myself didn't understand "it's a fair cop" until pretty recently, and you miss a lot of jokes (especially in older films) if you don't take the time to just "he said what?" and Google. Love the channel, btw.
Thaaanks. Yeah the "It's a fair cop" went over my head 😂😂
31:26..."Look, There's The Old Man From Scene 24" is one of the funniest lines in cinematic history!
something even greater is, if you go by normal scene counting, he doesn't even show up in scene 24. and appears in scene 12/13/15 depending how you count it.
so either like 10+ scenes where cut or it was a completely random ad-lib they just kept in
Play by Terry Gilliam The guy who is the illustrator of the movie and went on to become a producer of several movies.
@@cranberrysauce61 No one give a shit about that. The line was hysterical!
Some fun movie facts-
The Black Knight is played by two actors, John Cleese (one of the main Pythons) and an honest to god one legged man (a local man apparently). It's the one legged man in the part of the scene where he has, well, one leg, for all the other scenes (before and after that) it's Cleese. It seems Cleese just could not stand on one leg.
'It's only a model' In that scene, the castle WAS a model. They only had one castle they could use, so all castle scenes are the same place just, dressed up differently. That one however was just a model since we only see the outside.
Sir Not Appearing In This Film was actually the infant son of one of the actors.
'There are some who call me...Tim.' was actually an improvised line. The character was supposed to have a name, a long complicated one, John Cleese (yes, same guy who played the Black Knight, you will notice lots of people playing multiple roles here) just, forgot it and adlibbed on the spot. And they didn't have the time to reshoot the scene so they kept it.
There's no credits at the end b/c, if you remember 'those responsible for the credits have been sacked'
Some of the biggest rock bands of the time helped fund the movie. They used the coconut because they couldn't afford horses. In various scenes, you'll see people slinging a cat about. The swallow/coconut bit appears several times. You know the guy who killed the historian isn't one of Arthur's knights because he's the only one who has a horse. They talk about the name of the castle carving on the stone and how the writer wouldn't carve that, but the name of the castle at the end is named that.
This movie was *huge* in nerd/geek circles back in the early 80s (other times likely as well, that's just when I first saw it with my friends, in middle/high school... we still, to this day, quote from this movie). We'd go around quoting lots of it, there are so many quotable bits. "It's just a flesh wound" (getting hurt doing something like ramping your bike), "I got better" (talking about getting well or whatever), "She's got... huge tracts of land" (should be obvious), "He's not to leave, even if you come and get him" (usually said to someone that told you something but you didn't understand what they said), "Now you see the violence inherent in the system / Look, I'm being repressed!" (obvious), etc. etc.
The movie is definitely worth another or a few more watches to get all the jokes.
Sorry for the long black screen at the end! No idea I uploaded it that way xD
Different Robin Williams in credits.
A.D. means after the birth of Christ, so most movies are A.D.
As far as I know, there aren’t any B.C. movies. Very low popularity as a medium back then.
@@0okamino there are a couple, the most famous one starring Raquel Welch, One Million Years B.C. Ringo Starr did one called Caveman...
@@garylee3685 I think you missed my joke.
@garylee AD means Anno Domini...Latin for Year of our Lord. BC used to mean Before Christ. But some years back, it was changed to eliminate Christ's name and is now referred to as Before the Common era
@MrPunkd113 but means the same thing as before.
Robin Williams was doing stand up about to be discovered by "Happy Days" producers when this was made I think.
It helps to understand the unusual humor of the Monty Python group if you can watch some of their tv shows. Each episode included an animation segment by Terry Gilliam, so when they made the films, they continued that tradition. Each Python member plays a variety of roles in their films. “Life of Brian” follows a normal narrative a little bit more than “Grail” does, but it still includes a few unexpected mind-blowing sequences. They all love and know a lot of history so the films often include references to historical people or events.
2:30 Almost every movie takes place in A.D.
About to say the same thing
Aside from Clan of the Cave Bear.
A.D. means after the birth of Christ (Anno Domini) so we are in A.D. times right now; it is 2024 A.D.
In the 1980’s it became more accepted to replace A.D. with C.E. meaning “current era” and B.C. (before the birth of Christ) changed to B.C.E. (before current era.)
The medieval times were from approximately 500 to 1500 (A.D.) If there was a real King Arthur, he probably lived in the 500’s, not the 900’s as given in this film, but the scriptwriters probably wanted to stay with recognizable costuming, set design, etc and they chose the 900’s, which used to be called the “Dark Ages” but now is more often called the “Middle Ages.”
The “Plague” or “Black Death” (named after the swollen black spots of bubonic plague which appeared all over the body) did have a pandemic about every 100 years which would often kill half the population of an area. People could get the disease and die within a couple of days. Yes, there were “plague carts” and people who would take bodies away, since the sores which would burst could still spread the disease after death.
How do you know so much about cycling?
This is one of those movies that you end quoting randomly more than anything. And laugh about quoting and reenacting out scenes when you’re a little under influence with friends lol
So true because I still can not stop randomly saying "Ni" 😂😂😂😂
@@CampCrystalCharlie 🤣🤣🤣
@@CampCrystalCharlie I fart in your general direction! 😂
The movie wasn't made in 1952.... it was 1975, but I love that you are giving these golden age comedies a chance and are loving them. They truly are a work of art and comedy blended together perfectly.
Oops! lol thanks
My movie suggestion would be Young Frankenstein. It came out in 1974 and is a comedy classic.
Gene Wilder, he played Willy Wonka in the original version, stars in this.
I know you would enjoy it!!!!
i see what you did there at the end.. trolling us like they trolled you.. great reaction .. subscribed
Today I learned that MP and the Holy Grail was made in 1952 and buried for 22 years.
i heard the knights that say cuh are way worse.
lol that witch scene tripped me out. "(her)this isn't my real nose, they dressed me up like this!"
"(them)no! no!...no...yes...a bit...a bit." lol
the newt thing is usually an ingredient that they say witches used back then for making their potions in their black caldrons. either a full newt or maybe like an "eye of newt". i think lore or stereotypes of witches did say that they could turn people into newts too.
The Black Knight is the medieval version of "dude, stay down."
Now you know why the credits were at the start!
Back then all films had credits at the start
I don't know every movie you've reacted to, but I'd say the majority of them took place in A.D. For instance, right now it's 2024 A.D. A.D. stands for Anno Domini, the year of our Lord, which is a designation given to every year, since the birth of Christ.
It shocks me how many people don't realize the bring out your dead was the black death that wiped out so many people. They were dying faster then you could bury em and on a daily basis so they would collect them in carts for mass burial, burning what ever.
You weren't expecting a real horse? What WERE you expecting, the Spanish Inquisition?
lol because before that happened, there were no real horses used in the movie.
@@CampCrystalCharlie Actually... NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! (That's another skit from their comedy TV series, Monty Python's Flying Circus.)
Everything about this movie is intentional and hilarious. Nearly every movie that you watch takes place in A.D. I don't think Robin Williams had anything to do with this movie, unless it was after the films release.
Eki-eki-eki-eki-ptang! MF!
😂😂😂😂 now you have it in my head again
Loving the reaction :) The deal with the cats is because black cats were said to bring bad luck. So I suppose a lot of them were harmed and killed in medieval times. I think that's the joke anyway
Someone made a movie about their larping, no more no less lol
They were planning an epic battle scene for the end but ran out of money, so they scrambled for a new ending and came up with them all getting arrested by police looking for the murderer of a historian.
Newt, small reptile, likes damp conditions usually.
"Second movie we watched that took place in AD".
You are aware that it's AD right now? Stands for "Anno Domini" (Year of the Lord) and means after Christ. ^^
Four shall thou not count. Neither count thou two.
Plenty of meta jokes in this, including absurdity of so-called offensive language (knights who say "ni"), royalty and their pompous entitlement, barbarism of the "glorious" past that would get you arrested today, as well as the whole senseless quest for "holy" tableware. Also poking fun at religion, with God saying he can't stand people grovelling, which is literally what all worshipers do
I Think 🤔 That This Movie Ends The Way It Did , Because Monty Python Literally Ran Out Of Money!🤑🤑💰💰😳🤨😬
If That Is The Truth , Then I Would Think 🤔 That This Movie Is Brilliant!🇬🇧😁
I Remember 🤔 Going To A Video Store Where You Could Buy Movies On VHS 📼 Tapes , Around 32 Years Ago , In 1992. And I Remember 🤔 They Had The Bridge 🌁 Scene , And All Of The Customers , ( Including Me 🤓 Were Laughing 😁😅😂🤣) And Asking The Employee Of The Video Store What Is This Movie Playing On The Television 📺 Set Mounted On The Wall Of The Video Rental Store.
And The Employee Said That It Was "Monty Python And The Holy Grail"
And I Remember 🤔 Thinking I Need To Get This Movie On A VHS 📼 Tape 😁🤓🙂☺️
Monty Python Was Very Likely An Inspiration For Saturday Night Live Television 📺 Show In The 1970's.
This Was Just Around That Time. ( 1975 )
I Am Typing This At 5:40 a.m. , Saturday Morning 🌛🌉🌃🌌 , May 18 , 2024.
20:56 He says during the part where one scene plays multiple times.
Brilliant editing.
Just started watching and already you have me cracking up.... trying to turn off the subtitles. 😂
nice ending commentary. you did the same thing the movie did to us. rick rolled us
You misread the google entry, it's likely referring to Robin Williams working with the director Terry Gilliam on the film 'The Adventures of Baron Munchausen' , the same Terry Gilliam who co-directed this Monty Python film.
I don't know what you're thinking but Robin Williams wasn't involved in this film. I doubt they were even acquainted this early in their career, but I don't really know.
The thing is that the way the French dude said "keh-niggits" isn't far off from how "knight" was said in Old English. Originally spelled "cnicht" and pronounced somewhat like "keh-nikt"
And nearly all scenes in castle were filmed in doune castle the same castle was also used for winterfell in got
Enjoyed the reaction man. (Psst… it’s now 2024 AD)
Keep em coming!
lol yeah I was thinking BC for some reason xD
1. What about the moose?
2. Paying attention to the opening credits makes it better for everyone, including you.
3. The first time I saw this was in the back of a pickup at a drive-in (it's still here) with my siblings and a couple of friends.
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." 🤣"we'll call it a draw" 🤣
6. Quick bit: "Blow it out your ass"!
7. The ultimate cock block 😭
8. Robin's shield is a chicken.
9.The only horse in the film is ridden by the guy that killed the historian.
10.The ending sucked. It was a cop out. Literally
They ran out of 🤑🤑
The answer to all your questions of why? is, because it's funny. Surrealism doesn't need to make sense.
Great reaction, I was laughing along with you all the way.
Haven't seen to many movies set in the AD, haha
Hahahaha I don’t know why I was reading that ad BC 🤣🤣
You should check out the movie Excalibur. It's the best movie made based on the King Arthur legend.
23:10 The cats were indirectly linked to the plagues- the black death. Their are ties to isolated women living outside of populated towns who owned cats to kill rodends and brooms to keep the house clean - hygine. I guess it must of seemed like soursery to some that isolation and general hygine can keep you safer in an outbreak - Whitch!
AKA the cats are guilty by association with the "whitches."
The closest association Robin Williams has to this film is that co-Director Terry Gilliam made a pseudo-sequel 15 years later, _The Fisher King,_ that stars Robin (Genie) Williams, Jeff (The Dude) Bridges, and Amanda (Honey Bunny) Plummer.
[SPOILERS]
They are still looking for the Grail, but the story is much more tragic and human, but it's got a WAAAY better ending that is SOOO worth the ride.
Also the searcher in _The Fisher King_ is the titular Fisher King, not King Arthur.
Funnily enough, "knight" was pronounced in Old English as "kuh-ni-kt"
German has the word Knecht, wich basically means Servant, as a knight would be to his king, and back in the day both may have been pronounced the same.
I like historical jokes like that. Film people should do that way more.
So I guess we never getting scary story reactions again huh??
heres one, Rosie O donnel on the row machine while ellen dejeneres squats. that's pretty scary.
I miss your south park reactions man
Crazier funnier than jive gramma in airplane movie is kung pow enter the fist from 2002. Kung foooo spoof movie. I promise you'll laugh at that movie HARD into a panic!!
lol yeah I already watched that one and you're right, definitely enjoyed that one xD
You know were still in AD (Anno Domini) right?. Everything up to year 0 is BC (Before Christ), everything after is AD.
You should see Robin Hood: Men in Tights if you haven't already. It has Dave Chappelle in it.
that was a 'cop out'
No offense but its not an age gap...its an education gap. "Whats a newt?" Before your rewatch, ask someone to tell you about the Trojan Horse.
But.. but the ending's blank
Hey ma men, react to "Christine " (1983) by Stephen king & John Carpenter. Great movie with insane story, one of the best Stephen king's movie. I think it's very interesting for you & your loyal subscribers. Thanks
All right, you included the "camelot! it's only a model... shh!" bit in your reaction = you get a sub from me :D
(Also I watched your Robocop reaction earlier and that one was good too)
Im English so enjoy English humour. Your analysis went way above my head. Slow down and say the words clearly. Not important the accent but if we've got a shared language let's enjoy ........ bro!
I hear you but I will not change my character for anyone buddy =D
Don't change your character Charlie just tell it like it is so we can all relate @@CampCrystalCharlie
is this a reupload or am I going crazy?
lol there's only like 15 movie reactions on the channel
.
I recommend you react to (Medieval Comedy Movies)

They ran out of money so the film just ended abruptly
Robin Williams started acting about a year after this movie was made. Maybe it was someone else with the same name that was involved with this movie.
I'm 99.99% sure that Robin Williams had nothing to do with this movie, other than probably learning from it. George Harrison, on the other hand, was behind it financially. William's last roll was in a Monty Python-related movie, I think your source got it wrong.
You are partially correct. George Harrison did finance a Python movie, but it was Life of Brian. He even cameo'd in it
Right, thanks@@ThatSchmoGuy. Pink Floyd, Elton John, and Led Zeppelin (among others) funded Holy Grail, according to Eric Idle.
Monty python crew are legends! They had so many funny sketchers that other humor today is derived from. They were the best at silly but smart humor. You definitely should watch the holy grail again there’s really so much there to miss.
Since your here you should definitely watch Monty pythons life of Brian
Just a silly silly movie and the world needs more silly
"hey..."
But have you seen Blazing Saddles?
Ni!
That part at 52.11 I'm gonna be thinking about all night.
oooohhhhhhyes
