In Game of Thrones, when Daenerys first arrives outside the gates of Meereen, the city sends out a champion to challenge them. He shouts a lot of stuff in Valyrian. If you translate the Valyrian, he is actually saying, "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries."
Also, the origin story of Storm's End, with Durren Durrenden building one castle after another and the storm gods knocking them down again, is inspired by the guy in Holy Grail who kept building castles that sank into the swamp.
This is a tragic tale of police profiling and malfeasance in the investigative process. Arthur and his men could NOT have killed the famous historian. The killer was riding on a real horse !!!

Immediately following the "gotcha" of the extremely short intermission where cinemagoers would have got up to go to the toilet and then had to rush back to their seats.
Feel I have to add this. The film was shown locally two weeks before the local university's TV station started to.air the Monty Python Flying CIRCUS so there was little knowledge of the comedy group's type of humor. People quietly/respectably watched the film, now and then asking (quietly) "what". Got to the scene of the stand-off between Authur and the knight whose arms were cut off. About six people stood up and stormed out of the theater in DISCUST before the now famous line, "It's just a scratch" . After hearing that... Throughout the rest of the film people laughed their heads off, openly TALKED to the strangers around them, and started to see the world in a different light. Needless to say the local university's TV station saw record numbers of viewers for the next three years for that time slot assigned to that program.
You have to love a beautiful woman who totally gets Monty Python. You are the first reactor that actually even got the opening credits, and paused them to read them all. Monty Python is a comedy troupe that did several movies, and had a half hour TV show for several years. I highly recommend you watch all of their stuff. Also, the animator is Terry Gilliam, who later goes on to direct Brazil, Time Bandits and several other movies. you are right when you said the writers (all of them) were so smart. All of their stuff has so many layers but that is what makes it funny - it is completely ridiculous and subtly intellectual at the same time. I subscribed because of your reaction.
I think that pausing poses some logistics complexity for synchronizing audio and video. I think that's why reactors tend to be shy about pausing. Gilliam also plays the Green Knight in this movie.
"Smart" is an understatement. Arthur's response about the unusual presence of coconuts in England : "The swallow may fly south ..." is the translation of an excerpt from a medieval falconry manual by King Frederick II of the Holy Roman Empire. It was only translated in the early 20th century and Arthur's words are an exact quote from the translators' book. Only someone who reads obsessively would have even come across it. I had my suspicions when I looked closely at the coconut/swallow skit. It took about an hour to find the original sources. These guys had no internet in 1975 to chase it down, so they just knew about it and probably owned the book. It was probably Terry Jones, who was a medieval historian.
You are the first person I've ever seen that got that when the French guy called them kaniggets, he was actually mispronouncing knights on their first watch through. Color me impressed.
@@robertcomeau6873 Well, "knight" used to be pronounced quite similar to how the French guy did it. Given the academic background, I could imagine that they referenced the Norman conquest and Middle English.
@@leftyslimm7222 If you refer to the word "knecht", yes it is related to "knight". "Knecht" means "serf", but i.e. "Waffenknecht" or "Kriegsknecht" refers to a regular armoured soldier or a man at arms. However, the German word isn't pronounced with "g". The "ch" is more a hissing sound, better described as a devoiced "y" in "young". Similarly, the "gh" in "knight" used to be the same sound. There is a video of a charming lady speaking Shetlandic on wikitongues. At some point, she uses the world "slight". Notice how she pronounces it. This is the correct sound as her dialect retained this pronunciation.
British humour not humor, humor is a sub standard version of humour. British humour covers all humour, all other countries have a small subset of the overall humour available, so its not an acquired taste its that others have a limited understanding of the overarching humour, ie USA-ians who only get to a relatively low limited level of humor, hence the limited spelling humor, representing the limited amount they are able to comprehend(John Cleese explained this, not me saying it(honest)).
Monty Python is not for everybody. Most reactions involve a lot of perplexity, spotty laughter, and even some outright exasperation. The fact that Aria got the humor from the get-go and found it actually funny was delightful. Welcome to the club, Aria.
"I mean, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!" Dennis is a legend
They had no horses for two reasons. First, they didn’t have the budget for horses. Second, no one knew how to ride a horse and they lacked the time and money to get lessons. One of the funny things is that the only guy on a horse killed the historian but none of the people arrested had a horse. There are no credits at the end because the people who wrote the credits got fired at the start. The movie ended the way it did because they lacked the money to do anything else. You will understand the style of the story better if you watch some of the old Monty Python and The Flying Circus shows.
John Cleese must have had at least some ability to ride a horse, since he was Dennis Moore (whose horse is also named Concorde), around two years before this movie was made. He may have been the only one, though.
movies always had the credits at the beginning of the movie before star wars. lucas changed the whole movie watching experience because he wanted the credits at the end so it didn't mess up his opening crawl
First time here. Gotta admit, when I started the vid, I didn't think you were the type to fully appreciate the humor of this movie. But when you lost it with "watery tart tossing a sword at you", you gave me reason to hope! ;)
One thing I love about the subtitles thing is that in the cinema there must have loads of people ignoring the 'boring' credits, and have had no idea why other people in there were laughing.
The weird font in the beginning credits is meant to be a sort of Swedish or Norwegian accent and included northern stuff like moose. Then later it went South American with their typical bright colors and llamas, which are South American animals related to camels. The llama theme (e.g. Ralph the Wonder Llama) was such a hit that my nearby Boy Scout summer camp still publishes the "Llama News" daily during summer camp and has a special llama themed skit with a multitude of llama heads on sticks and excessive frivolity. I still have a small stuffed llama toy with a Boy Scouts neckerchief that I bought from the camp store. I wove a tiny one of those woggle slides (3 lead, 5 bight turk's head knot) to hold the neckerchief in place. Ralph perches near my computer screen at all times.
I think the "intermission" was just to troll people in the theaters. People would think there was an actual break (it was a thing in old movies), so they'd start getting up to go to the bathroom or get popcorn, then have to sit right back down again 😆
"All I can see is my own reflection".....Aria C, you got a deeper meaning from this movie than I did. lol 😄Thanks for your reactions, especially the silly comedies make you laugh the hardest, me too. More silly comedies please!
Always good to see a reactor who gets the jokes. It is worth watching the opening credits again to get all the jokes there. Note in the final bits they replaced”moose” with “llama”
One of the absolute greatest comedies ever made. The Pythons were so on point, comedically, that I can't fathom how people can conjure consistently ridiculous and hilarious comedy but still manage to be intellectually precise. Also, the death of the animator (Monty Python member, animator and great director Terry Gilliam), as specific as it is, NEVER fails to make me cackle 😂❤
So many favorite lines from Python : "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!" "BRING OUT THE BIG COMFY CHAIR!" "My dog has no nose." "How does it smell?" "Awful!" But there are so many iconic skits from The Flying Circus and the movies as well. You can't have just one...
People say you’ll pick up jokes you’ve missed in a movie like this after repeated viewings. Because of you, after 45 years I’ve just now learned “K-niggits” was the French guard’s pronunciation of “Knights”.😂
Fun fact: "What is the capital of Assyria" is a trick question. It had several capitals depending on time period, and didn't even exist by any of the legendary time periods assigned to Arthur. Btw, great channel. You're very cute, genuine, and engaging.
When I got to that part of the movie I wanted to ask him which time period he was asking about, I guess that might have thrown the bridge keeper into the gorge, just like the swallow question. It might have been the one time my love of history would have given me a real world advantage.
If you didn't notice, the knight that killed the historian couldn't have been part of King Arthur's band. He was the only knight riding a horse, You were right about the lack of horses, they couldn't afford them
You honestly come across as very reserved in terms of displaying emotion, not a bad thing, but I’m glad this movie broke you out of your shell, and seeing you reel over in laughter has made my night. Now subbed.
I'm so glad you laughed at this movie as you did, Aria! ♥ Every other commenter has mentioned other aspects of the movie so I'll add one that no one has written. Sir Robin the (not so) Brave was played by Eric Idle, one of the Monty Python members. The guy who played his lead minstrel, as well as the lead monk (hitting themselves with the pieces of wood) was a musician named Neil Innes. Innes had been part of a band in the mid to late 1960s called the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, whose music was often very odd and always fun. He and Eric Idle had become good friends and would later create their own UK TV show, as well as a hilarious comedy satire on the career of The Beatles, but using a fictitious band called The Rutles. The music for the Rutles show was written by Innes and was so close to The Beatles that John Lennon (who loved it) gave Innes and Idle the caution that it was so close to the originals that it may cause copyright lawsuits. I highly recommend checking out The Rutles, Aria, if you get the chance.
Exactly right, as well as Harrison being an important financial backer for Python's Life Of Brian. Your name is very familiar to me. Do you have twin younger brothers and went to Caulfeild?
You are probably the first person who really got the watery tart bit! The guy with the shaving cream on his face was using Barbasol. They had that back in the middle ages. Intermissions: Back in the old days, we used restrooms, bought more popcorn and coke, and resumed watching the movie.
With Python, one either laughs from the start or spends the whole movie silent and confused. I'm glad you were the former, Aria. I'm sure you'll enjoy the others., 'Life of Brian' and 'Meaning of Life'.
Another M Python cinematic experience (my first intro to the troupe) was "And Now For Something Completely Different", a movie made up of a collection of many of the better bits from several seasons of the TV show, Monty Python's Flying Circus.
The boingy noise would imply they used a Roman onager, which has a big scary spring at the front made of twisted animal sinews/tendons. The counterweight style trebuchet would just have a sort of swoosh noise. That would be one huge onager that could throw a cow. They usually threw round chiseled rocks of about 20 or 30 pounds. Really impressive engineers in that mock French castle.
FINALLY! A modern young person with at least SOME understanding of the past/history and can realize this film is a presentation of HUMOR. All the other young people reviewing this film have no grasp of reality and are living in the past that was DICTATED to them. Those young people will NOT survive the near future. This one young woman WILL SURVIVE! We need more young people like her.
When I was a kid I was REALLY MAD about the non-ending, I made the mistake of getting invested in the quest lol, but then it became one of my favorite films
Great reaction! Monty Python was a comedy sketch show (like SNL) starring the same 6 actors (they all play multiple characters in this film)....this film is great, but the TV show is even better (maybe react to that?). Cheers!
Monthy Python consists of a small band of players, including Michael Palin, John Cleese, Graham Chapman (RIP), Eric Idle, Terry Jones (RIP), and token American Terry Gilliam (yes, the film director, and who also does all the animations for Monty Python films and tv shows). Each member of Monty Python plays multiple characters in their films. For example, John Cleese played Launcelot, the taunting Frenchman, Tim the Enchanter, the villager who turned into a newt, and some others.
This movie's ending is a literal "cop out." 😅 Aria, you really should add "A Fish Called Wanda" to your playlist since you enjoyed Monty Python's style of humor. John Cleese (Sir Lancelot and Tim the Enchanter, etc.) and Michael Palin (Sir Galahad, etc.) join Jamie Lee Curtis ("Halloween," "Trading Places") and Kevin Kline (who won an Oscar for this movie) on a crazy comedy jewelry heist.
Props to Aria for not cheating at the end and checking how much movie was left! I didn't get to experience this in a theater, but on VHS the VCR didn't show how much tape was left.
The theatrical release didn't have the intermission music at the end. It was added to the VHS version so that people wouldn't think their tape was defective.
Ah this classic, we can thank a number of classic rock bands and members of them for supporting it through partly funding it, such as Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin.
Your laughter is a perfect tonic and reminds me what it was like when I saw it the first time, and I end up laughing with you! It's a great enjoyable film with some wonderful fun moments. Thanks for the cheery vid!
"Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?" Is one of the funniest lines in a comedy of all time for me, up there with "Was that 0600 in the morning?" and "Hey where the white women at?"
I'm sure you can imagine as young teenagers in the 70's we would frequently quote lines at each other from this movie. Especially at school where we knew teachers or adults would have no Idea what on earth we were talking about😂
The ending was a "Cop Out" - the credits were all done at the beginning of the film and ended up being finished at great expense at the last minute. the horse gag was conceived long before the film was. On of them came up with the gag and figured it fit well into this film.
Ok, it's official now. I'm in love. I first saw you a couple days ago when I came across your reaction to Blazing Saddles. You laughed and laughed hard at all of the best bits, and now I see you laughing hard at the best bits of the Holy Grail. I now need to find your reaction to Young Frankenstein.
The ending is a literal "Cop-out". I can't believe how happy I am you finally saw this film. Your eyes when the screen went black at the end was just priceless. Thank you so much, luv.
One more thing, this suggestion may seem out of left field, but Godzilla: Minus One; I recommend the subtitled version, since dubs typically alter if not ruin the performances. Just...trust me on this one, if it's not already on your radar.
The best cop out ending ever! The Python boys specialized in intellectual absurdism - they reference obscure/esoteric facts or trivia in the service of patently absurd comedic sketches. I'd recommend Monty Python's Life of Brian, if you haven't already seen it. As noted before you started, the Python humor isn't for everyone....so, it's been so much fun to find that your sense of humor (based on your Blazing Saddles video and this one) is so similar to my own. 😃 Keep laughing!!
monty python couldn't have predicted RUclips reactions 50 years ago, but I'm sure they would have died laughing at people staring at the black screen at the end
Great to see that this movie was for you. It was great to see you laughing and getting the jokes. I have seen this many times and I think it's brilliant. I only recently noticed though that at the castle Arghhh, they have to get a boat to take them there but after the vicious attack by the french taunting they walked back across.

Robin's minstrels are my favourite part, along with the "Lady of the Lake" exchange with the peasants.
I would chicken out on my nostrils being r*ped, and my p*nis
Omg those guys are good I start singing the lyrics and can't stop laughing. So real pros at that.
Your laughter is so contagious, I love it! :)
Aria, your reactions to the movies are so genuine, it is like watching a movie with a friend.
❤️❤️❤️
I'm so glad you laughed at this movie as you did, Aria! ♥ Every other commenter has mentioned other aspects of the movie so I'll add one that no one has written.
Sir Robin the (not so) Brave was played by Eric Idle, one of the Monty Python members. The guy who played his lead minstrel, as well as the lead monk (hitting themselves with the pieces of wood) was a musician named Neil Innes. Innes had been part of a band in the mid to late 1960s called the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, whose music was often very odd and always fun. He and Eric Idle had become good friends and would later create their own UK TV show, as well as a hilarious comedy satire on the career of The Beatles, but using a fictitious band called The Rutles. The music for the Rutles show was written by Innes and was so close to The Beatles that John Lennon (who loved it) gave Innes and Idle the caution that it was so close to the originals that it may cause copyright lawsuits.
I highly recommend checking out The Rutles, Aria, if you get the chance.
And George Harrison appeared in "All You Need Is Cash", the TV show about The Rutles.
Exactly right, as well as Harrison being an important financial backer for Python's Life Of Brian.
Your name is very familiar to me. Do you have twin younger brothers and went to Caulfeild?
@@Sp33gan yes
@@parissimons6385 After all these years, hi Paris. It's Brian, your neighbour. I've so many memories of you and your wonderful family ♥
I'm a little late to the comments here, but this is easily the best reaction I've seen to this film. Great stuff! 😂
You are probably the first person who really got the watery tart bit!
The guy with the shaving cream on his face was using Barbasol. They had that back in the middle ages.
Intermissions: Back in the old days, we used restrooms, bought more popcorn and coke, and resumed watching the movie.
With Python, one either laughs from the start or spends the whole movie silent and confused. I'm glad you were the former, Aria. I'm sure you'll enjoy the others., 'Life of Brian' and 'Meaning of Life'.
Another M Python cinematic experience (my first intro to the troupe) was "And Now For Something Completely Different", a movie made up of a collection of many of the better bits from several seasons of the TV show, Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Against Arthur, the French employed a CATTLEPAULT but never used the BULLISTA 🤣
Holy Cow, Arthur was saved by bovine intervention!
@@BDUBZ49 🤣
@bossfan49 anything to STEER them proper! 😂😂😂
The boingy noise would imply they used a Roman onager, which has a big scary spring at the front made of twisted animal sinews/tendons. The counterweight style trebuchet would just have a sort of swoosh noise. That would be one huge onager that could throw a cow. They usually threw round chiseled rocks of about 20 or 30 pounds. Really impressive engineers in that mock French castle.
FINALLY! A modern young person with at least SOME understanding of the past/history and can realize this film is a presentation of HUMOR.
All the other young people reviewing this film have no grasp of reality and are living in the past that was DICTATED to them. Those young people will NOT survive the near future. This one young woman WILL SURVIVE! We need more young people like her.
When I was a kid I was REALLY MAD about the non-ending, I made the mistake of getting invested in the quest lol, but then it became one of my favorite films
I swear, if you do Clue next you will have completed my Mt Rushmore of comedy!
I think this is the most I've seen you laugh at a movie.
I'm glad you liked it!
Great reaction! Monty Python was a comedy sketch show (like SNL) starring the same 6 actors (they all play multiple characters in this film)....this film is great, but the TV show is even better (maybe react to that?). Cheers!
Really enjoyed your reaction. Watching you laugh best thing I've seen on You Tube today. Thx!
Great reaction! Loved hearing and seeing you laugh! One of my top favorite movies!
Monthy Python consists of a small band of players, including Michael Palin, John Cleese, Graham Chapman (RIP), Eric Idle, Terry Jones (RIP), and token American Terry Gilliam (yes, the film director, and who also does all the animations for Monty Python films and tv shows). Each member of Monty Python plays multiple characters in their films. For example, John Cleese played Launcelot, the taunting Frenchman, Tim the Enchanter, the villager who turned into a newt, and some others.
This movie's ending is a literal "cop out." 😅
Aria, you really should add "A Fish Called Wanda" to your playlist since you enjoyed Monty Python's style of humor. John Cleese (Sir Lancelot and Tim the Enchanter, etc.) and Michael Palin (Sir Galahad, etc.) join Jamie Lee Curtis ("Halloween," "Trading Places") and Kevin Kline (who won an Oscar for this movie) on a crazy comedy jewelry heist.
Faulty Towers is another John Cleese masterpiece. Also with his wife aka the witch.
@@GrantWaller.-hf6jn His wife at the time. She played Polly on "Towers." Such an awesome show.
@@dan_hitchman007yes I own the whole series on DVD. Great stuff. What ever you do don't mention the WAR.
@@GrantWaller.-hf6jn 😅
Props to Aria for not cheating at the end and checking how much movie was left! I didn't get to experience this in a theater, but on VHS the VCR didn't show how much tape was left.
The theatrical release didn't have the intermission music at the end. It was added to the VHS version so that people wouldn't think their tape was defective.
This made my morning! Thanks, Aria! I'm so glad she understood and appreciated the absurdity. There's a lot to love about this film.
Ah this classic, we can thank a number of classic rock bands and members of them for supporting it through partly funding it, such as Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin.
And George Harrison for funding Life of Brian.
@001, indeed, Eric Idle says that George “paid for the most expensive movie ticket in history” simply because he wanted to see the movie.
Genesis was also one of the bands funding this movie If I'm not mistaken.
Your laughter is a perfect tonic and reminds me what it was like when I saw it the first time, and I end up laughing with you! It's a great enjoyable film with some wonderful fun moments. Thanks for the cheery vid!
the life of brian! The Life Of Brian!!! THE LIFE OF BRIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! !!! !
Your laughter is infectious. I love that you love this classic so much.
Hilarious reaction, definitely one of the best for this movie!
If you haven't seen 'In Bruges', I think you'd love that movie too!
Love your reaction. Always good to see fellow people who enjoy this kind of humor :D
Now with all the best, I'll fart in your general direction!
"Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?" Is one of the funniest lines in a comedy of all time for me, up there with "Was that 0600 in the morning?" and "Hey where the white women at?"
What knockers
I had to watch your reaction again!!! You have such a genuine reaction!
I'm sure you can imagine as young teenagers in the 70's we would frequently quote lines at each other from this movie. Especially at school where we knew teachers or adults would have no Idea what on earth we were talking about😂
My friends and I did that also in the early 80s
This is the most I've seen you laugh ever. Wonderful!
Watching you giggle and laugh is the best reason to watch this reaction :)
Also, notice Sir Bedevere. Notice how he keeps lifting his visor to see. A visor that he can clearly see through already. 😅
"Not even end credits!" I think the credit writers were all fired during the opening.
I just subscribed because I really do not want to miss you reacting to "Monty Python's Life of Brian".
I’ll upload it as soon as possible :))
I could tell, one minute in this was going to be your movie.
You had no reason to worry. You got it. You got this movie! Good reaction.
The ending was a "Cop Out" - the credits were all done at the beginning of the film and ended up being finished at great expense at the last minute.
the horse gag was conceived long before the film was. On of them came up with the gag and figured it fit well into this film.
"She weighs the same as a duck?!?" Yep. Their logic was apparently sound and she turned out to be a witch after all! 🔥🪵🌊🦆⚖🧙♀ 🤦♂😆🤣
It's a fair cop.
The music at the end was supposed to play over the end credits but the credit writers were all fired at the beginning of the movie. 👍
Ok, it's official now. I'm in love. I first saw you a couple days ago when I came across your reaction to Blazing Saddles. You laughed and laughed hard at all of the best bits, and now I see you laughing hard at the best bits of the Holy Grail. I now need to find your reaction to Young Frankenstein.
The ending is a literal "Cop-out".
I can't believe how happy I am you finally saw this film.
Your eyes when the screen went black at the end was just priceless.
Thank you so much, luv.
One more thing, this suggestion may seem out of left field, but Godzilla: Minus One; I recommend the subtitled version, since dubs typically alter if not ruin the performances.
Just...trust me on this one, if it's not already on your radar.
Hi Aria, it took me less than 15 sec's to realise you 'get it'. Some don't. Great reaction. ; )
First time I´ve seen someone actually understanding all the sillyness and laughing at the right place :) Love you! Now I´ll make a very brave retreat.
Gallantly he chickened out :D
Next, the life of Brian 😆
And then hopefully The Meaning of Life. That's the closest to a feature-length episode of Flying Circus and I love it for that ❤
great reaction, you get it perfectly - I saw this when it first came out - we watched it so many times I cannot recall how many times lol
U r the 1st young person I have seen get this. All about history and comprehension
I knew you would like this, hair looks great btw, have a good one A!
The "famous historian" is the same old guy they hit over the head to put on the kart.
I FEEEEEL HAPPYYYY 😂
The best cop out ending ever!
The Python boys specialized in intellectual absurdism - they reference obscure/esoteric facts or trivia in the service of patently absurd comedic sketches. I'd recommend Monty Python's Life of Brian, if you haven't already seen it. As noted before you started, the Python humor isn't for everyone....so, it's been so much fun to find that your sense of humor (based on your Blazing Saddles video and this one) is so similar to my own. 😃
Keep laughing!!
monty python couldn't have predicted RUclips reactions 50 years ago, but I'm sure they would have died laughing at people staring at the black screen at the end
😂😂😂
Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
Just discovered your channel. Your laugh is wonderful. Fantastic reaction.
Thankyou:)
Great to see that this movie was for you. It was great to see you laughing and getting the jokes.
I have seen this many times and I think it's brilliant. I only recently noticed though that at the castle Arghhh, they have to get a boat to take them there but after the vicious attack by the french taunting they walked back across.
I love watching people react to this film if just to see the awkwardness as they wait at the end to see if anything else is going to happen. lol :D
Had to click immediately! You're right, this movie isn't for everyone. Not everyone has excellent taste in REAL comedy.
Oh I didn’t mean it that way😅 but yeah I don’t know a single person who wouldn’t enjoy this movie💯
@@ariachanson01 My mother.
@@ariachanson01There are a fair number of folks who don’t really enjoy them. They’re definitely an acquired taste for some people.
I have never seen you so happy.
