I’ve seen this movie over 20 times and it’s just today that I noticed Sir Lancelot is wearing a helmet during the entire scene because John Cleese is playing Tim. Didn’t do a double shoot like they usually do 😂
I think the best part of this is the urban myth going around about the name Tim people seem to have trouble believing it could be so simple in the actual script, but keep in mind both the age of the movie and the fact that the Pythons we are talking about.
I think the entire film has a fantastic look to it. They really pulled off making it look like the time of King Arthur - well......at least to the eyes of someone from the present day anyway.
The best part is. He forgot the name he was supposed to say. It was supposed to be something long and extravagant. So he just improvised and said Tim and they rolled with it.

@@excelente81 Thank you! This is well documented in IMDB and other sources. Cleese has said repeatedly that he did NOT ad lib that line. Never let facts get in the way of a good story, I guess.
I go as tim to all renn fest people know the character and a ton of photos theyve taken of me and i have a real beard not as long but close wish i could toss flames too man what a costume that would be!!
Anyone else play D&D and use Tim as a main influence on your character? Anyone use Tim as a main influence on your self without playing any damned games?
brianwesley28 And Astrology is a relic of a primitive time in human history where magical thinking, backward mystism and irrationality reigned supreme.
Imagine trying to get into an advanced conversation around Religion, Astrology, and what the fuck ever on a Monty Python video about Tim the Enchanter who just likes to blow shit up for fun. You’re all a bunch of talking monkeys, embrace it.
let's be honest anyone with fire powers would be exactly like Tim
Your absolutely right.
Not only that, but summon fireworks as well. The explosive teleportation is impresssive.
To put it into Tim's words, "quite"
@@JadedMuse_ you're...
it brings me great joy knowing that tim was completely ad libbed because john cleese completely forgot the actual name
😂😂😂
What was the actual name according to the script?
@@wjzav1971Apparently according to John Kleese at least he says that the rumor of him forgetting a long and complicated name is false. So I guess it was always intended to be Tim.
The fact that "there are some who call me Tim" is said almost like a question is hilarious.
Well, the actor forgot the character's name.
It was hilarious as heck😂😂
Him randomly bazooking the tree and they way he says G-R-R-R-RAIL?! Is nothing short of brilliance
i wonder how they made that rocket.
Fun fact; my husband, Tim, introduced himself by saying "there are some who call me Tim" 🤣
As he should. If there was a good quote I could reference with my name, I definitely would
F
As any man (named Tim) worth his flint and tinder should.
In the form of a question I hope
He enchanted you. Are you sure you are not under some kind of spell?
I bet half the budget went into this once scene, lol
Budget?
That comes with the infamous black monster of Aaargh
Everyone in the film wanted to watch the scene so all the budget went into said scene
This scene is why the film ran out of money
No, it was scene 26 a brilliant scene
There are some who call me...... Tim?...
bguzewi0 Quite.

Let’s all be honest: if we could make explosions with our minds, most of our days would be spent doing exactly what Tim was doing
He was out in the middle of BFE to do just that so he wouldn't be responsible for burning down Library's and villages.
I’ve seen this movie over 20 times and it’s just today that I noticed Sir Lancelot is wearing a helmet during the entire scene because John Cleese is playing Tim. Didn’t do a double shoot like they usually do 😂
"look, um... you're a busy man..." gets me every time 😂
Tim the Enchanter seems to focus more on evoking than enchanting. xD
He enchants people with his evocation :D
Fun fact: he forgot his name, so he introduced himself as Tim and they went with it
1:09 I love the way all the knights clap. So very English! :)
What an eccentric performance!
‘With sharrrrp pointy teeth!!’
- John Cleese 1975
Megadeth- chosen ones is a song about this
Tim is just Megumin's grand-dad.
omg YES
Good one 🤣
When I hear someone say "Quite", I think 1:13. Every time.
That's good news, since whenever I say "Quite", this is the vibe I'm going for.
The Tim joke was great, because I was expecting the name Merlin. MP at their best xD
Everyone says their favorite part is the adlibbed Tim, but mine has to be @ 3:31 ... `Death awaits you all with nasty big pointy teeth`
It’s not ad lib. Tim was always in the script.
@AvangionQ: It's hilarious. And the "nasty big pointy teeth" really kicks in shortly after when we get to see the creature who owns those teeth.
If I play Skyrim again will call my DB ‘Tim the Enchanter’ due to my use of my favourite elemental burst spell!!
I think the best part of this is the urban myth going around about the name Tim
people seem to have trouble believing it could be so simple in the actual script, but keep in mind both the age of the movie and the fact that the Pythons we are talking about.
This scene must be the reason why they had to use coconuts instead of horses.
Real crusades they ate the horses had to use coconuts instead
What an eccentric performance
The funniest film in the history of cinema
MAGICALLY SETS OFF ARSONIC FIRES YET SCARED BY A KILLER BUNNY. LOL
Hahaha.. Always been Hilarious.. how he keeps exploding things hahaha .
Lets be honest in addition to being hilarious this was a very well made film. The cinematography in the opening shots are phenomenal
I think the entire film has a fantastic look to it. They really pulled off making it look like the time of King Arthur - well......at least to the eyes of someone from the present day anyway.

Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:
Tim: “A GRAAAAAILLL?!”
My favourite scene of the movie
Tim was by far the best character in the movie!!
Quite.
You know much that is hidden, O Tim
quite
I believe this was the inspiration for Megumin xD
What an eccentric performance! Indeed!
...so brave knights.. if you *DO DOUBT* your courage...
You seek the holy grrrrrill
Is this megumin?
Nah, Megumin's explosions are *much* bigger, but she blows her load with the first shot.
Prodigal Sorcerer in all his glory
Blue weenie deck magic
Aged like wine
The first time Tim the Enchanter suddenly blew himself up got me wheezing.
What an eccentric performance!
MPHG *_ROX_*!
The best part is. He forgot the name he was supposed to say. It was supposed to be something long and extravagant. So he just improvised and said Tim and they rolled with it.
that's fantastic and makes this scene better

towards it. As they approach they see an impressive WIZARD figure striding
around conjuring up fire from the ground and causing various bushes and

I am an enchanter.

A great wizard with a mundane name like Tim or Paul or Derek is just hilarious

Some urban myths just won't die. This is patently false.
This is my Diablo 4 character.
I’d be so careless with Tim’s powers. Just shooting off fireballs in the middle of town, scaring the entire populace
Tim is my favourite character in this movie.
My friend once drew me a portrait of this guy with the "there are some who call me... Tim?" quote. I had it framed.
I just learned that Denmark and France has same syllable for Cave and Formidable xD
Quite...!!
I found a relative on Ancestry DNA called CallMeTim I thought it might be John Cleese. He is just as eccentric though :)
There are those who call me.... tim?
Wonder if Tim had to find a flower, like Mario, to spew that fire too..
I watched that like a thousand times and its still funny xD
A GRRAAIIILLLLLLL???? 😂
Is this megumin as dude?
Nah, Megumin's explosions are *much* bigger, but she blows her load with the first shot.
“QUITE”
Timmy with the beard
There are some who call me..Tim
Tim is my true love's dad's name.:):):)
A What...?
Bloody hell, if this were the 20th century combustion engines would be replaced with Tims and there would be no more energy crisis
he's a sorcerer with high willpower and charisma but low int
"you're a busy man"
Is this what Megumin was based off of?
What a STRANGE person……

Cracks me up when he warns them. BUT!! and they all kind of flynch.. that and Nasty big pointy teeth...

say it don't spray it Tim
Thay it dont thpray it

He adlibed that Tim line.
he did not
Douglas Celente he did
@@excelente81 Thank you! This is well documented in IMDB and other sources. Cleese has said repeatedly that he did NOT ad lib that line. Never let facts get in the way of a good story, I guess.

Funny how Tim coulda just blown the rabbit up lol
My name is.... Tim
EXPLOSION!!!!
Itta be fun to point my finger at a goose and roast it at will. Never starve
*Quite!"

Tim the Enchanter is an Aquarian archetype.
