The Black Night scene is amazing when you realize he's guarding a bridge over a dry stream bed that's about one foot deep 😂
Just as silly as everything else, then 🤣
An old PC game, Battle Chess, made a nod to The Holy Grail. When the knight takes another knight, the battle between Arthur and the Black Knight is showing
Yeah, but you can’t just hop over it. That would be cheating.
Yeah, Mel Brooks stole that gag for Men In Tights.
7:14 "If she weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood!... and therefore.... A witch!" You can't fault that logic! 😂
It actually MAKES SENSE!
That particular scene reminded me so much of the Muggers characters from Viva la Dirt League on youtube!
Yeah, can't argue with science...
Who else other the Pythons could make a joke at the expense of medieval Scholasticism and its over-reliance on Aristotelian logic?
So few preppie point this out!
"Dennis had a lot of good points he was raising..."
Dennis the hyper-political peasant is easily my favorite scene. 'Help! Help! I'm being repressed!'
Like a mediaeval sovereign citizen…
"Come and see the violence inherent in the system!"
A watery tart dispensing cutlery is no basis for a system of government!
"I am your king" "well I didn't vote for ya"
Dennis - the ORIGINAL sovereign citizen. 😂
"The cartoon peril was no more" is what I want carved on my tombstone.
Ah, the literal "cop-out" ending!
Life of Brian is another favorite...
I saw this first run in the theater and at the very end the movie theater was in silence for several seconds until everyone figured out that it was the end of the movie and then you heard a little laugh over there and then another laugh and then until everybody was just practically rolling on the floor. It was the most outrageous movie and the funniest thing we had ever seen. Thank you for this reaction video.
I've seen this so many times. The scene between Artur and the peasant cracks me up every time. "Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing.swords, is no basis for a system of government. Supreme Executive power can only be derived by a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. If I went around proclaiming I was an Emperor just because some watery tart threw a sword at me, they'd put me away." And the Black Knight. Love this movie.
*scimitar but one of the best scenes in the movie, being a British comedy is just chefs kiss
@@wlam205 Damn!!! You're right! It was Scimitar. Glad it wasn't the answer to one of my questions three."😁😁😁
@@JohnMC61 aaaaaggghh!
@@bob_the_bomb4508 🤣🤣🤣
No, it is "sword".
"Threw a sword" vs "lobbed a scimitar". They’re in two different sentences.
There’s so many great lines in this movie, especially secondary throwaway ones like Patsy muttering “It’s only a model.” about Camelot after they’re all fawning over it. I often say it to myself when I hear people gushing over some person or thing.
Patsy being co-director (and Python artist) Terry Gilliam always makes me laugh whenever they cut to his reaction.
@@LordVolkov
Definitely.
Whenever I get to this scene I always think of the scene in ‘This Is Spinal Tap’ when the band has arrived at a hotel to find the whole entourage has only been booked with one room. In the chaos of the moment the fish-bowl glasses wearing concierge bleats a half-shocked, half-indignant “I’m just as God made me.” line when referred to as a ‘twisted old prune’ by the band’s manager when he’s arguing with the hotel manager. The poor bugger is on the sidelines of the conversation but he’s at least not going to lie down without a single response.
Every time I see a sovereign citizen I remember Dennis shouting “come and see the violence inherent in the system…”
@@bob_the_bomb4508
Hell, yes!
“Help! Help! I’m being repressed!!”
_Message for you, sir..._ 😂
Also, I *love* Sir Robin's minstrels! _"When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled! Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about, and valiantly he chickened out!"_ 🤣
The incomparable Neil Innes. Such a shock when he died.. I really miss him. R.I.P. Neil.
I grew up watching their skits on PBS. This is my favorite MP movie. No matter how many times I see them, they still make me laugh. Monty Python never gets old.
Even if we do.
I'm so happy to se Juliette laughing at my favorite comedy! It made my day to see her crack up when the rabbit bit the first guy's head off. This movie never gets old.
Awww thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed this one 💜
the ending is a literal "cop out"
British humour is strange but when it hits it's on all 8 cylinders.
First doctor who now this? You giving my country full expose haha
Now you know the origin of all these jokes about killer rabbits 😁 And by the way, the animator who had an "attack" during the monster sequence is Terry Gilliam, one of the Monthy Python and a incredible filmmaker.
When you accept that this is lunacy, then you can laugh without hesitation. It's wonderful.
Yes!! Just let go of everything and have a good time 💜
One of my favorite things I learned about this movie is that the guy who played Tim the Enchanter was supposed to say some really long complicated name when introducing himself, but he forgot his line so he just said "There are some who call me........Tim" and they thought it was so funny that they kept it.
I love that!!!
That was debunked by John Cleese. It was always Tim.
The scene with the black knight is one of my all-time favorit movie scenes. Everytime I lose against someone at a game or something I do the "Okay, lets call it a draw" speech 😀
I love how the Castle Aargh is on a tiny island in the middle of a large lake, nearly totally inaccessible. Gives it a real mythical feel and it's great for defense but how was it even built? That's a lot of stone you'd have to haul to that tiny island. Anyway, I looked it up, and its real name is Castle Stalker located in Scotland. The little island it's on is tidal, which presumably explains how they got all the building materials out there.
There is a castle outside of France in the middle of water at high tide but accessible at low tide.
... and how our heroes were able to WALK back from it, after having initially approached it by BOAT..!
LMAO that is so true 🤣
Tidal access does help, just like Mont St. Michel in France. Þrídrangaviti light house in Iceland is another matter though. Definitely more recent (1939), but built without helicopters, amazing
The castle is real and it's called Eilean Donan castle on the wrst coast of Scotland. It's a wonderful place to visit with seals showing up at low tide.
Monty Python really paved the way for the sort of anarchic, absurdist comedy that Rik & Ade were so good at.
Spike Milligan.
RIP rIK
Wrong. The Monty Python team, John Cleese, Michael Palin and the rest, were strongly influenced by the Goon Show, a radio comedy show of the 1950s written by Spike Milligan, with Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers. It was surrealist comedy. And there are those who claim that the Goons were inspired by another group of anarchic comedians, this time a group of American vaudeville comics - the Marx Brothers (they really were brothers) who moved into Hollywood films in the 1930s. There's nothing new under the sun...
@@SimSim-zf9if Yes, strongly influenced. John Cleese says the Python members were obsessed with the Goons and would religiously listen to their radio show as schoolboys. Google about what Cleese had to say about them.
This was seriously my all-time favorite reaction! 😅 Your laughing is contagious! Going to go rewatch the movie now. That Lancelot running bit always kills me!
Ahhh thank you so much! I'm so glad I could brighten your day 💜
@@julesreactsI don't know where you're from, but by your accent I knew from the moment I saw the title Holy Grail that you'd be laughing the whole way through. There's a certain dryness with Bri'ish humor that many Americans don't quite resonate with.
I’m 65, I grew up watching Monty pythons flying circus. Next check out “Life of Brian”, and “The Meaning of Life”
That ending... a real "cop out" literally
I’m so glad you enjoyed this movie. This is genuinely one of the funniest comedies I’ve ever seen. The Monty Python members are hilarious. John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin constantly play different roles but you never feel like you’re watching the same actors with these characters. Graham Chapman and Terry Jones really are the glue of this movie as King Arthur and Sir Bedivere. They are both hilarious yet somehow keep the movie just grounded enough to make you follow them as the main characters. RIP to both of them. They were really incredible. I really hope you do Life of Brian at some point in the future. It’s just as good as this movie if not better.
This was such an iconic comedy of my youth. And most of my work associates in later life knew this by heart. I once worked a contract in the Carolinas where almost every Friday afternoon as the workday wound down...we would start "quoting" lines from this film. Thanks for the laughs.
Oh my god, Jules... When you mentioned Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson, I had the biggest smile on my face!! I grew up on their shows too! 😭 I still watch them to this day. I remember being so devastated when Rik passed away, he'll always remain as my favourite comedian/actor of all time. I'm so happy to discover someone else, aside from my brothers, who grew up watching those shows too! ❤
No way 🥹 that is so lovely to hear! It still makes me sad to have lost Rik in such a tragic way. I would have loved to have seen them live and I was always dreaming of them coming here or me going over there if they did a live show... I will never forget how Bottom shaped my childhood! I love that you love them too 🥹🥹
I thought the same thing. I immediately relaxed; there was NO WAY she was NOT going to like Python. Once she said that, it was a slam dunk. (I also immediately subscribed at that moment! lol)
@@julesreacts There are a lot of Rik & Ade's Live shows and especially the bloopers on YT, have you watched any of them yet? You should
@@grabtharshammer was looking for someone to have said just that 🙂
I just love watching you react given your expressions and how you're always speculating about what might be happening.
Oh thank you so much ☺️
For Monty Python, watch their TV series "Monty Python's Flying Circus" next. That's where they started and their movies work even better when you've gotten oriented to their distinctive style.
For those who ever wondered what correct answer was, when the keeper of the bridge of doom, asked about the capital of assyria: It is a trick question!
They had no capital in those days! They split their government up to two major cities! That was the case for a very long time...
I went to the museum showing medieval armor, with my 4yo. He told the tour guide they didn’t really have horses, they used coconuts. He proceeded with cupping his hands as though he had coconuts and making a hoof sound. I knew at once, I needed to explain Monty python and reality.
Other funny questions to ask the tour guide: is that armor bunny proof?
So those We're ROYAL 🥥?
So erburt's 🏹 is in here somewhere right?
Karaoke night is gotta be hilarious right? (🎶brave sir robin...🎶)
Or somebody just leaves a Trojan bunny in the car park.
And people are asking each other " is that your bunny?"
"No its not...could not afford the payments on that bunny.".....
A friend and I watched this movie in 1975 when we were teenagers, we roared with laughter, laughed our brains out.
My favourite comedy film. In my first time watching it, I was dying of laughter in the first coconut scene
Monty Python in their series were well known for not ending sketches. Some mixed into animation by Terry Gilliam. When they were first making the series they were trying to come up with a title. One of the titles they considered was "Owl Stretching Time". But the BBC had it written into the budget as "Barry Took's Flying Circus". Barry Took was a comedy writer for the BBC. So they came up with the name Monty Python as a kind of fictional slimy agent. And so they became Monty Python's Flying Circus.
It's amazing to me how few people notice after they remove the duck and the woman from the scales that they are completely lopsided. So yeah, not actually a witch.
The moose and his trainer are still at large to this day.
I really wanted to see a moose 🤣
No credits at the end of the film because they sacked the crew responsible at the beginning, one of my favourite jokes 😁😁
First time I watched this I learned that rain, churches, and very small rocks float in water
This one never gets old. So great to see your reactions and laughing along with you.😂
Glad you enjoyed! I loved it so much 🤣
Monty Python is a comedy troupe that started in the 1960's that had 6 Brits & one American who wrote & acted multiple parts (both sexes) in their BBC TV series *Monty Python's Flying Circus* & their films. The American is Monty Python animator (he does acts but does all the animation). Yes, tge animator who had a fatal heart attack was Terry Gilliam, the American.
Their were a few woman who was part of the cast that also does muliple parts both a few films & TV series. But they were not officially part of the troupe.
Life of Brian is the obvious progression from this. Then there's the TV shows. Great reaction, you have a new subscriber. 😁👍
I'm looking forward to that one! A few people have mentioned it so I'm expecting another crazy adventure 😅
@@julesreacts There is a third movie, The Meaning of Life, but personally, I do not find it anywhere near as good as the first two. I wouldn't recommend it.
One thing well worth watching is Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl
In the beginning there was a TV series that ran for 4 series (1968 to 1974) and it was called "Monty Python's Flying Circus" It was a sketch show and some sketches just faded out into the next sketch and some just had a link of a man at a desk saying "And now for something compleyely different". Over the years people just referred to it as Monty Python. The basic group is John Cleese, Eric Idle, Graham Chapman, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin with animations by Terry Gilliam. Their first film was just a series of sketches from the show and was called "And Now For Something Completely Different" (1971). Then came "Monty Python And The Holy Grail" (1975), then "Monty Python's Life Of Brian" (1979) and then "The Meaning Of Life" (1983).
I do believe that Rik and Adrian grew up watching Monty Python's Flying Circus on TV as kids.
I reckon they would have 💜
Another great and totally rad reaction Jules!!!
I can't express how excited I was when I got the notification that you were reacting to Monty Python and The Holy Grail!!!
I first saw this movie when I was 11 years old (it was 1983 and I rented it on VHS) and even though at that age some of the jokes went over my head, it was still absurd and silly enough to make me laugh over and over again at it (of course as I got older, more and more of the jokes I started to understand)!!!
My favorite line is "are you suggesting that coconuts migrate"?.... it never fails!!!
It's probably been said already but the ending is a literal "cop out"!!!
John Cleese couldn't remember the Enchanter's name and just said "there are some who call me.....Tim" and it stuck.
So happy that you've now experienced the absurdity and brilliance that is Monty Python!!!
Again great reaction Jules!!!
Many blessings to you and yours!!!
Awww I love that this movie has such great memories for you from your childhood! That is wonderful. I really enjoyed this one! It was great to relax a bit and forget my troubles for a while and just laugh 🥰
There was a time when all films had their credits at the beginning. If the film was particularly long there would be a 15 minute intermission for people to go to the loo and get sats and drinks etc. Credits were switched to the end of films when directors wnted to surprise the audience with a particular actor in the film or for the audience to guess who the atcor in the prosthetics was.
So in the scene where the Black Knight gets his leg lopped off, he actually IS being played by a one legged man (he's played by John Cleese for the rest of the scenes before and after). Apparently Cleese just kid not stand on one leg.
Sir-Not-Appearing-In-This-Film is actually played by the (at the time) infant son of one of the actors.
'It's only a model' the castle in that scene actually WAS a model. Iirc they couldn't get permission to film in it (honestly, the fact that this movie got made t all is impressive given how it sounds like filming was just plagued with so many production issues)
Monty Python is the name of the comedy group. So, same actors (if you pay attention you can see them playing multiple roles in this movie alone) but different characters.
For the last 40 years, my friends and I will use lines from this movie.... "'Tis but a scratch!" and "It's got these TEETH" (referring to a stuffed bunny)... So many good quotes. If you dig Monty Python, I recommend The Life of Brian. If you prefer Arthurian myth, I'd recommend Excalibur (1981... some great performances, but, an effects budget not quite enough to buy a happy meal...). Or, what I thought was quite a good movie - King Arthur (2004) with Clive Owen.
The ending can be thought of as the ultimate “cop out”.
✌🏼😎
It's basically a really serious LARP. Hence the police part, guy with modern shaving cream, holy hand grenade, and "that rabbit is dynamite!" Gunpowder hadn't been introduced to the west yet.
Jules, you are so awesome. You are the ONLY person in my life that ever realized that the cops were trampling "the shrubbery" in the scene where they set off the Holy Hand Grenade, or that there was another boat in the water when Arthur made it to the Castle Aaargh. That includes me and my brother, who watched this film many times and all the reactors that've reacted to it (50+).
BTW, the ending (a joke) was a literal "cop-out".
Month Python is the comedy troupe, and each member always plays multiple roles, which is sort of a game to see if you can recognize each time they play another character. They started off as a British sitcom in the early 70's and then made films. However, they never had a lot of money to spend, hence the cheap props, including the coconuts instead of horses ... well, except the one. Most people never realize that NONE of King Arthur's men could have been the one who killed the "Famous Historian" because he HAD a horse and none of them dd.
For your next foray into MP, I hope you do Life of Brian. It's one of my most favorite comedies, as far as films go. This one was my 2nd favorite of theirs, BTW, and I DO love it ... and you 🥰🌹😳.
Awww Steve, thank you!! Hehe I'm so happy I caught those little bits and pieces you mentioned 💜
I definitely want to watch more, for sure! This was so funny and a great way to laugh and relax ☺️
@@julesreacts BTW, their TV Series (BBC) was called Monty Python's Flying Circus, and it was "out there" but some of their funniest skits were born there, like The Dead Parrot Sketch, The Argument Clinic, The Lumberjack Song, The Fish-Slapping Dance, The Ministry Of Silly Walks, The Spanish Inquisition, Cheese Shop, Nudge Nudge, Hell’s Grannies, Fish License and Spam.
Also, it is good to note that Graham Chapman played the lead role in all of their movies. After he died (young), the rest of the troupe went off and did some very impressive movies with other actors like, A Fish Called Wanda (Hilarious, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Jamie Lee Curtis).
"I´m French, why do you think I have this outrageous accent you silly king!!" Love this silly humour, glad you liked it too :D
"What are you doing in England?"
"MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!"
When the Black Knight is down to one leg, they found a local one-legged man to play him since John Cleese couldn't balance well on one leg.
I'm stupid late being such a Buffy stan. Sorry.
You have had an authentic 70's kid experience. As per usual, your reaction was awesome. Keep this channel growing everyone!!
Awww thank you!! That means the world to me 💜
The next movie should obviously be the life of Brian. Airplane is also a good choice in the same vein of absurdist humor.
29:00 Oh my, this must be my top favorite scene in all of comedy film history ngl, hahaha! so nice to see u enjoying this classic masterpiece!
I think this film hits very differently when u realize the entirety of it is basically footage of a massive live action role play.. 😹
It was honestly SO darn funny! I've never seen anything like it!
@@julesreacts Well uve clearly been missing out, hahah! I hope uve seen Life of Brian too by now, or at least going to! ;P
Monty Python is the name of the troop. They had a sketch comedy TV show called Monty Python's Flying Circus with a few famous skits like The Lumberjack Song, Spam, The Dead Parrot, and, unexpectedly, The Spanish Inquisition! The Life of Brian is another popular movie funded by George Harrison (of The Beatles).
Don't forget The Fish Slapping Dance.
I also wondered, at the end; where did that huge army come from?!
This is a very old favorite of mine. I was stationed in England during Monty Pythons heyday. Don't take them too seriously they certainly don't. It helps to be slightly drunk while watching. Very quick and they take no prisoners. Everyone gets a poke and tickle. Their "Life of Brian" is a great spoof. Any of their weekly skit shows are quite good. A few of the skits to be sure to see are "The dead Parrot/Lumberjack sketch". "The Uppercrust twit of the year". The "Paid argument" "The fish slap dance", "Defense when being attacked with a Banana". I have seen one reactor watch each of the weekly shows through all the seasons. Very fun group.
What I love about this movie is the way a lot of the comedy comes from sheer necessity. The whole thing about the coconuts and swallows, which becomes vitally important at the end, was due to not being able to afford horses. The whole running story about the police investigating the historians murder, culminating in their interfering with the attack on Castle Aaaarrgghh!, was because they'd run out of money and couldn't think of any other way to end the movie. Even things like Tim the Enchanter were due to wanting to use as little film as possible; Cleese had forgotten the long, complicated name they gave the enchanter, so ad-libbed Tim, which the crew simply ran with, likely in order to avoid reshoots. (This last one is a theory based on a half remembered interview from a long time ago. I could be wrong).
If you watch close in the witch scene Benevere is tying a coconut to a bird’s foot and letting it go.
The name came from the original TV show which was randomly called 'Monty Python's Flying Circus' (working title was 'Owl Stretching Time') and continued with the same 6 main actors through to the current day. (Graham Chapman died, "Let me the first at this funeral to say 'Oh, F**k" ) Terry Gilliam went on to direct films like Brazil and Twelve Monkeys, and Cleese went on with wife Connie Booth ('She's a witch') to write and star in " 'Fawlty Towers'. Michael Palin filmed several trips around the world going to unusual places, (e.g. 'Pole to Pole') .
My personal favorite Monty Python movie is "The Meaning of Life". Another popular one is "Life of Brian".
A lot of the best jokes in this movie are because of the budget. Two examples are:
1) The coconut horses: They literally could not afford the horses they would have required, and came up with the gag of prancing along to the sound of coconuts
2) "There are some who call me . . . Tim": John Cleese, who played the pyromancer, was supposed to have a ridiculously long and complex name. When the time came to film, however, John completely forgot what the name was. You can see the look of panic in his face in that scene. He ad-libbed with 'Tim' on the spot and they couldn't afford to reshoot
The lore of the black Knight is that thay can be hurt and still fight
the classic of british non sense comedies. We can see some actors from the Monty Python's group playing different characters : Eric Idle as Robin the brave, the collector of deads ("bring out your deads") or as Roger the schrubber. The Monty Python were inspired by the italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini's films to to write the screenplay of this movie.
Up until the mid to late 1970's almost every movie had it's credits at the beginning. If I recall correctly, Star Wars had a lot to do with changing this to the credits at the end.
Yes, it was actually a requirement that came about between studios and various unions, basically because everyone wanted their name at the start so audiences would see them. George Lucas did indeed put his credits at the end of Star Wars and incurred several fines because of it, but the movie was so successful, he didn't bother to change them. It took a few years, but renegotiations eventually got studios to okay putting the credits at the end.
Jules, the animator who died was the director his name is Terry Gilliam, he made other movies besides Monty Python ones, like Time Bandits and 12 Monkeys
he might have made the Brothers Grimm also
7:40 The woman weighing the same as the duck; I think this is a reference to how some crooked merchants used to add weight to their scales to trick customers.
you have to know these things when your king you know.
great reaction. most people miss the cats.
I can never miss a cat 😸🤣
If you want a more serious take on the Arthurian legend I think I would suggest Excalibur. It's not perfect, but it might come closest to trying to stay true to Malory
Great film and i would watch a reaction to that.
Oooh, thank you!
Glad you found Monty Pyhon. They also had a TV show called Monty Python's Flying Circus and they released a handful of comedy albums, too.
Ordinarily, the black screen at the end would be the end credit but for the sacking of those responsible for the beginning credits.
"That's not what I was expecting."
"No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!"
The ending the final practical joke played on the audience.
Wasn’t expecting this when I pulled up RUclips. Wonderful surprise. Beautiful. Thank you. Enjoyed it very much.
Thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed 😊
I also suggest “Blazing Saddles”
We watched this as part of my Fine Arts Appreciation class.
I don't know why, but when Rthur yells 'charge!' and the camera shows the Rabbit turning its head to notice them... Always brings a smile to my face.
my favorite Monthy Python bit is a sketch called Argument Clinic, but I listened to it so many times on a cassette tape as a kid and I can never find the exact version that I'm used to online.
Yay! Since your "Firefly" reactions ended I've missed watching your reactions but now you're back reacting to one of my all-time favorite movies! Cuz I'm old af, I saw this in the theatre when it first came out and it literally changed my life, which is evident from all the stuff I have at home related to the film: Funko Pop figures of King Arthur, the Black Knight (I have the special edition with his arms cut off), the French taunter, and Tim the Enchanter (which includes a small white rabbit). I also have a framed copy of the instructions for the Holy Hand Grenade written out in medieval calligraphy; a cross-stitch piece of the quote "Death awaits you all with big sharp pointy teeth" on it and the rabbit with blood dripping from its mouth; a bottle of "Monty Python and the Holy Ale" which was brewed and released at some point; the script in book form, a t-shirt; and the bluray DVD special edition. Oh, and a card game based on the film. So ... yeah, that's where I stand with this this film. Hopefully you'll watch "Life of Brian" at some point, as well, along with some of their sketches (which you should watch even if you don't film the reactions). The Pythons definitely paved the way for "The Young Ones" (Vyvian, you complete and utter bastard!) and many other great British comedians and shows. All of the Pythons went on to do other great things and I strongly suggest "Fawlty Towers" with John Cleese; "A Fish Called Wanda" with JC and Michael Palin (and Jamie Lee Curtis); and then there are the fantastic films that Terry Gilliam (the only American in MP) directed, especially "Brazil", "Time Bandits", "The Fisher King" Jeff Bridges and a fantastic performance by Robin Williams; and "12 Monkeys" with Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis. Thanks for a great reaction!
Some excellent recommendations there! Thank you so much! I've had a few people recommend Life of Brian, so I think that will go on my "to watch list". It's been wonderful having something fun to watch instead of crying for a change 🤣
It was a lot of fun watching with you. You make me feel like I'm watching with a good friend.
Thank you so much!! That is exactly what I'd like people to feel 😊
Dear Jules... did you ever hear the term "Cop Out"?
This is the origin! The guys made this movie on an extremely low budget and just ran out of money. Hence why the Movie just ended without a real conclusion. They had to wrap it up and the best they came up with was the... Cop Out! 😉🤣😂
If you wanna see a Monty Python Movie with a way bigger budget and a true ending... please watch "The Life of Bryan". For me one of the greatest comedy movies ever made.
It was great that you caught the boat on the shore on your first viewing. Few people are that observant. Great reaction!
I wasn't sure if that was a mistake or intentional 😅
In the Young Ones episode about video nasties, Terry Jones appeared as the priest at the funeral. He gets to poke Vyvyan in the eye and head butt Rick.
Like the other Python guys, he plays multiple roles here including Sir Bedevere, Herbert the singing prince, and the old lady digging for mud. (And co-directed, of course).
Credits at the beginning of the movie was common in the past, but fell completely out of favor in the 1970s. This was at the tail end of that practice. The credits of this movie are definitely worth watching, so I'm glad they did it that way.
Yes!! Otherwise people might just skip them!
Way back before the 1980's Credits were almost always at the start of movies, that way you had to watch them. When they put them at the end there is always a mad scramble to get out. Also back then the National Anthem was always played at the end of the show, as it was in Theatres
24:53 I love how you nod along. It's so adorable! 🥰
Oh thank you so much!! I get a little into it 🤣
"Tis But A Scratch!!!" this film is one of my all-time favorites. I highly recommend Life of Brian. I've written so many school papers on the subject of British absurdist humor like Python's humor.
Now it's Life of Brian turn!! You'll love it! ^^
The full name of the comedy group is Monty Python's Flying Circus. "It really is nice to just lose yourself in that moment and forget about your troubles..." Always look on the bright side of life.
Amazing reaction Juliette! Hands down, the best so far
Thank you, Tony!! I'm so glad you enjoyed 😊
Funnily, coconuts do migrate - they're designed to float, and they do (albeit rarely) wash up on the shores of the British Isles.
Monty Python is the group of actors. They had a sketch show for many years on British TV called Monty Python's Flying Circus.
The capital of Assyria no longer existed in 932 A.D. /// Airspeed velocity of both swallows are approximately 20 mph. (no uniform answer). /// Yes, I had nothing better to do than look up useless trivia...

"...I love weird absurd kind of humour..."
There is weird, absurd humour... And then there's Monty Python!
They INVENTED the genre.
The silliness of this movie makes it so funny.Seen it in the theater many years ago,still so funny.
One famous fan of Monty Python was Elvis. He used to do impressions of the knights who say Nee
I did not know that! That's so cool 😅
To be fair, that cop-out ending is much more funny when watching the movie a second time...with someone who doesn't know it yet.
Monty Python began with a BBC TV show called "Monty Python's Flying Circus," which was a comedy sketch show. There's a RUclips MP channel where you can watch many of their sketches, including "The Cheese Shop," "The Lumberjack Song," "SPAM," "The Argument Clinic," "The Ministry of Silly Walks," "The Dead Parrot Sketch" or my personal favorite, "The Fish Slapping Dance." I have no idea why I love that sketch so much, and it's just over a minute in length, but just thinking about it is making me laugh. I first saw this movie back in the late 70s at a Midnight Movie, and we wound up going back, over and over again to see it! This movie has some of the best lines to quote to your friends, and get everyone laughing! And yes, you're right, the comedy "troupe" was named "Monty Python" and their MPFC TV show was shown in the US on public broadcasting networks, often later at night, and it became huge over here as well.
