#MaryYAY ☺️👏
Capitalism is the Best. Good for You.
Movies with Mary react to DCEU movies Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman Dawn of Justice ultimate edition, Wonder Woman, Snyder cut Justice League, Aquaman, SHAZAM
Obligatory "the end scene was a literal cop-out" comment.
Also, Life of Brian is another amazing Python movie that has a bit more of a coherent plot.
"A bit more of a coherent plot", Brian falls into a UFO...
@@llamallama1509 Psalm 18 Paragraph 3 : I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved and transported from mine enemies by alien lifeforms .........
@@jumpjet777 I must've missed that Psalm lmao
@@Bjjbhcoa86 The benefits of going to Sunday School when I was very very young. However, I gave all that up to follow Brian and the cult of Monty Python ;-) (Until Brian inexplicably told me to F.Off)
Followed by obligatory "The coconuts for horses bit was because they literally couldn't afford to rent horses"
The impressive thing in Monty Python sketches and films is that it's six guys playing most of the roles. And it doesn't matter whether they are playing men or women. The rest of the cast is just extras. Once you get to know the cast of Monty Python, it's fun trying to figure out who is playing each character under all the makeup and costumes.
Oh wow!! At a few points I was like: isn’t that the other guy? But it didn’t click in my mind yet!
They also wrote their material. Their tv show is so good - watched them on PBS back in the 70's.
The Kids in the Hall do it better.
The six of the men, plus Carol Cleveland "the Castle Anthrax", Connie Booth "I'm NOT a witch!" and Neil Innes (Robin's singing minstrel).
@@alanr4447a - Yes, these were 'regulars' who would pop up in many Python sketches. They made occasional appearances as needed on Flying Circus, and in the movies. But it's not like they were tackling a half dozen roles each (like the main group).
The guy clapping in his cell at Camelot gets me every time
and they left him behind :(
He must have not been silly enough
And the second guard at swamp castle
“Hay…”
"Who are you, so wise in the ways of science"
"As the horrendous black beast lunged forward, escape for Arthur, and his knights seemed hopeless, when suddenly, the animator suffered a fatal heart attack. The cartoon peril was no more..."
SAVED BY THE FOURTH WALL!!!
A few years ago I showed this to my nephews when they were around 14 and bet them they couldn't not bust out laughing within the first 20 minutes they didn't last past the llamas
I hope they didn't suffer any moose bites!
i like the scene of the people digging in the muck and telling the king that they didn't vote for him and how the system is set up to oppress the little people
That scene was so good!
@@MovieswithMary it reminds me of the scene when the black guy is being arrested in the middle of the movie, Falling Down, with Michael Douglas, it takes you out of the movie momentarily because it was so near to the Rodney King arrest, i don't know if it was before it or not, but Falling Down is one of the more disturbing movies out there
@@MovieswithMary there's another scene in another movie, where Kung Fu Joe is being harassed by cops in the movie, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka!
It's funny because it's true.
Yes the whole thing about distributing swords from ponds not being a good basis for government. 😂
I can't believe I saw this move in the theater when it came out in 1975, I was 11 years old and and have be quoting this movie line for line every day since.
Being a big fan I went to see the movie in the theatre the day it was released. The best joke in the movie is the "intermission" we all got up to step out, only to have to run back to our seats. When they restarted the movie so soon. They timed it perfectly and fooled the entire audience. Best joke ever!!!
I don't think she got that joke, she is probably too young to know that there used to be intermissions at the cinema.
The last movie I remember having an intermission when I saw it in a theator was The Empire Strikes Back back in 1980.
Plus the additional element of the gag in putting the intermission in a spot where there is only ten more minutes of the movie to begin with.
The message for you sir was my mail sound bck in a day :D
Oh my god, didn't even realize you still hadn't reacted to this absolute epic! Goes especially well together with your GoT reactions ^_^
Jippie! I see you also joined Patreon, thank you 😊!
Huge army shows up...
Mary: "Alright!"
I love how excited she gets when the knights show up to slaughter the French...
No one hates the French quite like the English do, but I'm sure the Belgians have their gripes as well.
@@FuckRUclipsAndGoogle the Belgians, the Germans, the Italians, maybe a little bit of the Spanish...
As a kid Monty Python came on tv and it quickly became must watch, as did SNL at the time. This movie is hilarious and loved your reaction Mary.
The *Thwump* Message for you sir, was my outlook incoming email sound for years.
14:22 - "Shrubbery: A planting of shrubs; a wide border to a garden where shrubs are thickly planted; or a similar larger area with a path winding through it." (from Wiktionary)
Basically a bunch of bushes and small trees
A Path! A Path!
If you go down the Monty Python rabbit hole, I’d recommend checking out some of their Flying Circus episodes before watching more of their movies. They’re more of a sketch comedy troupe that ended up making movies later, but their genius is in their short skits.
Or to save time, most of the Essential Classic sketches are re-enacted/rearranged in the feature-length "And Now For Something Completely Different".
We've got one reactor taking on the TV episodes, but no one's done the movie so far.
@@ericjanssen394 Another good one is "Live at the Hollywood Bowl", which is live performances of some of their best stuff (with a few pre-filmed sketches that they probably used to entertain the audience during the break).
@@snorpenbass4196 The pre-filmed sketches were our first look at "Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus" that they filmed for German TV, and now that those are on disk...
Especially the Spam skit.
@@nathanberrigan9839 I would put the argument skit way up there too.
“It’s just a flesh wound”
I LOVE the way Cleese's delivery of that! The way he elongates "wound" and makes the whole line sarcastic and mocking always gets me.
Fun Facts, ( I dont know, if anyone said it...im not reading 350 posts) When they met the wizard and he said "There are some, who call me .....Tim" Was improvised by John Cleese. He used to have a complicated name, but John Cleese couldnt remember it, so he came up with Tim. I love that they kept it. Also, they had trouble to find a white rabbit. When they finaly found one, the owner, a lady, made them promise to keep the bunny clean. When she saw the movie and how much blood they put on it, she was furious
To echo a lot of the other commenters Life of Brian is a must watch, so good.
I watched this at the theater last night! Luckily my local theater shows retro movies each week, this week was MP&the Holy Grail. I couldn't miss the opportunity to watch this on the big screen! I totally recommend watching The Life of Brian!
Good one! Michael Palin (Sir Galahand) is also in "Death of Stalin", you should watch that one, very similar style of dark absurd humor.
This movie actually draws quite a bit on knowledge of real Arthurian legends.
''Camelot! (It's only a model) shhh!''
Mary, I love your laughs and snorts, its very cute just like you. Your reaction has made my day. Thanks!
You probably know by now that the Pythons were a comedy troupe who had a sketch show on the BBC. Their first movie was just a collection of their most popular sketches called 'And Now For Something Completely Different' then, this one.
🤠 Why am I suddenly craving coconuts???
14:27 That reminds me of a news report, when "Monty Python's Flying Circus" arrived in Japan. Supposedly, there was a panel discussion after an episode, to discuss what had happened and what was funny. (I recall a number of "Monty Python" jokes that sailed over my head like a cat launched by those French knights.;)
An outstanding movie of similar tone is Mel Brook's "Blazing Saddles". I like that Mary had the exact same reaction to the Trojan Rabbit as John Cleese.
Aha, that one is highly requested too!
On the DVD version of this, the case of it literally says, "take this DVD case and smack your head like the monks." Me and my older sister did that way back in the early 2000's. It actually says, "Do it." LOL
You may want to watch the original "Monty Python's Flying Circus" TV series to see how this kind of comedy developed. Netflix, of all places, has the whole series.
Python *heard* of the 4th wall, and decided they'd no truck with it.
This movie came out when Intermissions were still *kinda* a thing in movies. Or at least, the memory of them was.
The end of the movie was *literally* a "Cop Out..."
This is the movie where Terry Gilliam got his start at directing (he did about half of it). He was the lone American of the Python troop, didn't appear in the show too often, but did do all the animations. He's the "animator suffering a fatal heart-attack" here (amongst other short rolls, like "it's only a model").
This is such a classic that there's an episode from Game of Thrones where Daenerys and her army arrive at I think Mereen and Daario Naharis has to fight their champion to get them to open their gates they show Mereen's champion come out of the city on a horse yelling stuff in his language that's clearly meant to be insults before Daario kills his horse by throwing one of his daggers and then kills the guy with one blow once he's on the ground. Well, all the stuff he guy is yelling in Old Valyrian or whatever he's speaking is supposedly a translation of the stuff the French soldier yells at Arthur and his knights about how he farts in their general direction and their mother was a hamster and so on.
Love your takeaway at the end, yes there's a lot in there to unpack amongst all the silly.
The main thrust is parody of the "epic historical" cinema they grew up on. From Norse sagas to swashbuckling movies to costume court drama.
The meta paroxy is of cinema as a whole, turning almost every moviemaking convention of the time, and up to the time, on its head. Much like they did for TV comedy.
From the opening title to the abrupt end, every scene is a "movie joke".
This film is perhaps the most faithful dramatization of the Arthurian Legends. To study the subject without first watching this is to put the cart before the coconut.
This movie is THE first ever example of 'Found Footage'.
lol
My little sister and her bloke (30's) had fun as the witch and the bloke who got better at a few fancy dress parties :)
What a good "comfort movie", yes? It's always good for a laugh, no matter how stupid it is.
Lovely to see you find a laugh today, and hope you feel better soon!
There is a beautiful nod to this movie in Game of Thrones. David Peterson, who created the all languages for the series, translated the French guard’s monologue (‘your mother was a hamster’ etc) in Low Valyrian for Mereen’s champion in S4E3 (Breaker of Chains).
This film is great to watch when you're stoned. It's fucking hilarious
6:56 Congrats, you are one of the few people that notice the whole coconut/swallow test on the first viewing! I sure didn’t catch that the first time. Good eye!
Had me in tears as a kid and still brings me great joy lol
There are some world class snorts in this reaction. 🤪
I went and watched the stage show in London based on this and it was brilliant.
the animator who died of a heart attack was Terry Gilliam the director, he did the animations for the monty Python tv show, and he also directed some other movies, like Time Bandits and 12 Monkeys
Let’s not forget Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas!!
Terry Gilliam is still alive. There was a false death report about him a few years ago after he had a health scare. Terry Jones who co-directed the Holy Grail did die from dementia in 2020.
This movie is a classic. What’s fascinating is where the money for the production came from. The Monty Python guys got donations from rock bands of the ‘70’s like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, and Elton John to make a budget of £200,000.
Monty Python and people like Spike Milligan were early pioneers of insane fourth wall breaking comedy.
This movie was extremely popular with my Army Reserve unit in the 80's, but not with our commanding officer at the time. He ordered us to stop yelling 'Run Away,' and instead use 'Retire,' or 'Fall back.'
5:19 Hands down, the most ADORABLE yelp you will ever see your whole life. 😍🤭
The Camelot scene was recreated in Lego. It's worth checking out.
Can't wait till "Life of Brian".
A shrubbery means een bloemstuk.
So basically they are very decorative knights.
Me and my friends have quoted that movie since high school.
You'll love Time bandits, Jabberwocky and also Eric the Viking :)
There are several Monty Python movies, but I suspect most fans will agree that the two absolute masterpieces are HOLY GRAIL and LIFE OF BRIAN. So if you're looking for another Python movie to do, LIFE OF BRIAN seems like the one.
Of course there's also the tv show ....
Please watch "Monty Python's Life of Brian"!
Too much nudity in that one.
"Only a flesh wound!" The classic.
When I was 15 I saw this on HBO and came in on the part where the sun and clouds were jumping, and thought wth is this? And walked away.
18:34 - Here he's imitating what used to be an actual common style of sermons from Anglican priests.
Glad you found the movie amusing and hope you get to feeling better!
Hope you feel better! Glad you got your second shot!
To Search for the Holy Grail

Ashur typically, though it moved occasionally.
20mph
Which one is your favourite scene? :D I go for the knight at the bridge :D
the Killer Rabbit! 😁😁😁
@Gerald H Same for me.
_Dennis: "Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."_
scene 24, of course
It's so hard to choose! I'm fond of the "Witch" scene, as well as the "I'm not dead! I'm feeling better!" And Tim the Enchanter of course. Supposedly John Cleese forgot the actual name they'd written for that character and improvised "Tim." Everybody thought it was hilarious and wrote it into the rest of the scene. And Galahad with the maidens. 😆😅🤣😅😆😁
I always go for the witch scene
She's a witch
How do you know she's a witch
She turned me into a newt
A newt?
Well I got better
So glad it cheered you up. This is a great movie to watch when you feel bad.
I gotta say this reaction was edited extremely well. Either you or your editor did a fantastic job
7:30 A witch was said to prevent her drowning by floating in the water, so if the woman floated they would pull her out of the water and burn her. If she did not float they would pull her out of the water and bury her, because she will have drowned.
I'm glad you were in the right mood for it because you're totally right. If you don't know what to expect and your having a bad day the silliness doesn't always land right.
I loved your reaction. You got it. It is absurd, but that's what makes it funny. Did you see the credits where the moose joke from the opening was referenced?
Haha so many laughs. I'm glad that everyone is fine the little Cat,Baby Yoda and Mari.😄😺
Honestly, they could have done the coconut bit as just a visual gag, and it would have been pretty funny. "Haha, they said they rode since dawn, but they're just pretending." But by having literally the first person they meet point out how ridiculous it is, they tempered that joke and made it one of the most memorable things from the movie.
06:03 "Just a flesh wound"
I had a great time! Thanks for sharing Mary.
Every scene with a castle was filmed at the same castle outside Glasgow, for budgetary reasons. Going there is on my bucket list.
I was about 10-12 years old when Monty Python was aired on PBC here in the states. It was on Sunday nights at I think 10pm and it was a great way tow rap up the weekend. Also for a kid my age, the skits were very risque with occasional nudity. LOl.
One of my favorite reactors + One of my favorite movies = One Great Reaction Video
The look on your face at the end was absolutely priceless. My daughter is 22 now and when I showed her this film about 5 ears ago she reacted in almost exactly the same way. We have a Renaissance Festival here in Minnesota, USA that happens rain or shine every Summer. This film is so beloved, but so well-known that quoting from it has been banned!
Hope you're feeling better! I didn't have any side-effects from the Pfizer vaccine, but my wife was not feeling well for a couple of days after both of her doses.
Fun fact: As I recall, the cast were miserable during filming. Constantly cold and wet while dressed in uncomfortable costumes. Still came out a masterpiece though despite it.
@@joeb918 IIRC the Terrys reached an agreement where Jones would shoot in the mornings and Gilliam would do afternoons - which led to numerous days where Jones would spend most of his mornings pedantically setting up shots, which Gilliam would then re-arrange after lunch .. all of which led to a lot of in-fighting and very little being achieved until they finally sorted it out.
Plus the hotel that the cast and crew were staying in only had enough hot water for about half of them to take a shower when they returned at the end of the day.
Probably the most accurate adaptation of the myths ever made. Those tales got *wacky.*
I like your cat; in my experience, brown mackerel tabbies are the best type of cat. Intelligent, calm, sociable.
Lmao. “What’s a shrubbery?!” It’s shrubs. Bushes. Little trees.😃 U know, a shrub. Shrubbery is the long version.
The intermission was long enough to get people up and heading to the lobby when the movie started right back up again.
My favorite knight: Sir Not Appearing in this Film
Others disagree but I think this is the best Monty Python movie. First saw them on a late night PBS station while in college. My roommates and I were flipping channels late at night and came across a 'weird' skit (I believe S1EP6 of their show) which eventually showed a topless woman (this was 1973...). Our jaws dropped as we couldn't believe what we had just seen on TV! Have enjoyed the 'offbeat' humor (for Americans anyway) since. Thanks for the review. Take care.
15:40 My favorite part of the movie. Absolutely love this movie! Thank you, Mari!
Wouldn't worry about the Grail. Henry Jones finds it eventually.
It definitely requires a certain frame of mind to enjoy. Glad you enjoyed it, sorry you're not feeling well.
Now i know who you remind me of! Lindsey Novak(Ellie Harvie) from Star Gate. I absolutely loved her character! I suppose you haven't been nervous yet, since i haven't heard you in a hick up yet 🤣
i like the killer rabbit and the scene of the old guy laughing and then his hut disappears, it's like in the video game the Legend of Zelda, you get something in a cave from an old man sitting between two flames, and after you get some info or an item, he disappears
I remember a carnival where three dudes dressed up as the three-headed giant. The biggest laugh of the evening was seeing them standing at the urinal.
I haven't seen anyone mention it so I will: the coconuts-as-horse hooves was improvised after they discovered they couldn't get horses on set. Also, parts of the Black Knight scene were miserable to film; the cast dug a hole to hide his legs in, and the ground was wet and bitterly cold
I can't help feeling that the "improvised coconut" thing is an urban myth, and that they always meant to use coconuts simply because it's funny and silly. Not all of the Pythons - maybe none - could ride horses as far as I know, coconut references appear throughout the script, and the scenes with Patsy and Concorde wouldn't have worked unless the "horses" were, in fact, human. Taking all that into account, it's almost certain that the use of coconuts was written in from the start.
This movie has such a cop out ending. :D
I love the bridge scene. Such a good call back.
the cat is mvp here ;D
12:00 the year before the plague, there was pair of friends who were dressed up from this movie, one was in the full get up, wig facial hair outfit shield EVERYTHING as sir robin…and his mate was dressed as a minstrel…
Someone pointed it out, sir robin got that “hero pose” and there were actual cheers and applause, and then someone mentioned the minstrel and there were more cheers etc….then everything died down…
At which point I simply said loud and clear “…and there was much rejoicing…”
At which point EVERYONE was holding their guts laughing harder than many probably had in a long time
I wondered why I enjoyed her laugh at first. Then I figured out what it reminded me of. Mary you need to react to Eddie Murphy movies from the 80's, because you have the female version of his old laugh which we all miss.
This wonderful catastrophe is one of my favorite films of all time.
20:18 the whole point is that it doesn’t matter wether your answer is correct or not…the magic reacts to admissions of ignorance…
Hey lady! Sorry your not feeling well, but glad you got your vaccine! Stay safe, and keep making these great videos!
yep my 2nd shot knocked me out for an entire day lol
I was expecting a lot of snorting. You didn't disappoint. Thanks!
in an episode of Ancient Aliens about Stonehenge, they said ancient Scottish ? said they encountered the Shining Ones , people with higher technology and weapons whose name also sounded like the Annunaki, a race of overlord beings from Ancient Sumeria that had advanced technology and weapons.
Something I’ve seen a lot of people miss on reactions in the witch burning scene where they weigh her is the scales are completely unbalanced. You’ll se the one that had the duck on it almost touching the ground, these guys were amazing at putting small details into their movies and there’s even a reference that I’ve still yet to find that’s in the credits
Greatest movie ending ever! Until Life of Bwian, of course!
And what a great reaction vid - all the laughs, giggles and wtf faces that one could hope for 😄
Hi, Mary! Hope your're feeling better now, or will be soon. Glad you liked this one. If you happen to have the DVD copy, there is an excellent commentary track about the film's production that I found fascinating.
Aside from "We're Knights of the Round Table" and the minstrels' songs praising/mocking Sir Robin, the entire score was picked from the De Wolfe Music Library. One can only imagine how many hours went into selecting each piece. Most (maybe all) can be found on RUclips; there are even commercial and fan-made albums out there. Here's the epic King Arthur theme (AKA "Homeward Bound" by Sam Fawcett): ruclips.net/video/PHDycUXzNs0/видео.html
