"Bring out your dead" was genuinely the historic cry from the people collecting the bodies of dead plague victims on a cart, in periods when plague was rampant.
when look at the movie, its suprisingly morbid and depressing how most people just die from the simplest things that we now take for granted that we can fix. People didnt live up to late 20s or 30s and 40s. If we let nature kill us we are supposed to die by diseases ,animals , malnourishment, wars , environment ,
@@beastmasterbg you seem to have this thing where you are mistaking averages with reality. There were plenty of old people back in the day lol its just the child mortality rate was very high and people died more often. Doesnt mean the max age of people wandering about was 40 lol.
@@SimSim-zf9if you completely missed my point. The guy wrote his post like old people were unheard of past age of 30-40. Which just isnt the case. The only reason the average life expectancy was so low back then is because so many children died really early on and a lot more people died younger. But that doesnt mean old people were rare or unheard of. Which his post clearly implied.
"How do you know he's a king?" "He isn't covered in shit." King Arthur gets covered in shit by the French Taunter at the end... Police immediately arrest him.
Among the endless glorious details shared by aficionados of this seminal piece of cinema, one of my all-time favourites is the scene-saving of Eric Idle in the "witch trial" segment. He felt a giggle coming, and so, to prevent it getting out, began to gnaw on the farming tool in his hand.
There are two things that amaze me about this movie - the first is that George Harrison, of the Beatles, was the only one willing to financially back the Pythons on their first movie. And even then, the budget was so low that they had to film the whole thing in three weeks before they ran out of money. In fact the reason for the coconuts is that they couldn't afford horses! Comedy at its finest! Glad you both enjoyed.
Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin were financially involved in getting Holy Grail to existence. George Harrison was not. He, however, single-handed funded the £3M needed for Life of Brian when the original financiers backed out because he really wanted to see the movie. Later, Terry Jones described it as the "world's most expensive cinema ticket."
@@charles2241 I know right? First time I saw this, I was like 'Wait, what? That's it?!' Though I found out, thanks to another commenter, they planned it as a literal 'cop-out', and apparently they'd run out of money by that point anyway.
Fun fact. The green knight, in the knight fighting scene was played by Terry Gilliam. Who was also playing Patsy, the coconut banging servant of Arthur, in the same scene. The black knight was John Cleese, the green Terry Gilliam and they both underwent instruction in medieval weapons handling for this scene.
I extracted the "Message for you sir" from the squire Concord (start of Lancelot and Swamp Castle) and used it for my email notifier for many years. I think it was extracted from a VHS tape and run into my computer audio card for an analog recording.
You too? I had that sound for my email so long that it kind of blended into the background for me, but if a friend was visiting and it dropped an email they’d do a classic double-take going, “What the hell?” And I was like ‘oh right! Forgot I had that! 🤣🤣🤣
Strange women, lying around in ponds, distributing swords.....moistened bints throwing samatars at you. 🤣 That's what makes holy grail so great. People tell their favorite parts but end up talking about the so very many through each seen. THERE'S JUST NO OTHER COMEDY MOVIES THAT CAPTURE A PERSON ,LIKE THIS ONE DOES. It was revolutionary and there can only be attempts of movies like this one.
Very entertaining reaction, l love the French taunting and insulting scenes, " your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberry's" ....lol
Fun Fact: This is not simply an absurd sentence, It's a genuine insult. Hamsters reproduce rapidly (Suggesting mum is promiscuous) & elderberries were used to make wine (Which implies dad drinks excessively.)
The on-going joke about the swallows and the coconut made sense to me because other than minstrels there was no entertainment, no TV or radio, no internet, not even newspapers so all they had was gossip and discussions. New ideas would have spread like wild fire. One part that never gets mentioned in reactions (I've seen them all) is the parody of the Bible in the reading from the Book of Armaments. It has the repetition we see so much of in the Bible put there by various editors, trying to stress certain points such as don't count to 2 unless then proceeding to 3. 5 is right out. And the foe being naughty in my sight shall snuff it. Brilliant. The troupe of 6 men were all college graduates so they were very intelligent, Chapman was even a doctor. Gilliam and Jones co-directed, Gilliam always handled the animated bits.
mostly gossip and news would spread really fast. Majority of people didnt even know how to read unless it was a trained person who reads letters to the entire public made by the kingdom for the public. Its crazy how dangerous those times were. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that amount of death. Most people would die from any disease or war or cruelty.
A lot of my sense of humor came from watching this at 7. "We needed an uplifting happy song to sing while being crucified." That was about Life of Brian.
it's funny how unique monty python was that no movie can copy them and make it hilarious at same time and not to mention, they had a very limited budget when doing this movie.
`Tis but a scratch.` Is still a common response to a minor wound if you`re my generation. A friend of mine crashed his Honda on bend and lost a kneecap......that`s what he said, just before he fainted.
one of the best running gags in the film is where king arthur keeps yelling "run away" instead of "retreat." but no reactor seems to catch this silliness. retreat was what the militsry does. running away is what cowards do. and reactors think its perfectly normal for a military leader to yell "RUN AWAY" to his troops. also the "bring out your dead" part WASN'T A JOKE! it was really what happened during the plague. people were dying at such incredible rates they couldn't be buried individually. so the "state" would send carts around the country to collect the dead for mass burial. i sure wish people would learn history. maybe we'd be less likely to perpetually repeat it with every new generation.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GENIUS. It would probably be voted overall best comedy of all time and especially for all new comers that eventually check it out. I've known and see, so many that act bummed out and you can tell they arent in to it, then next thing you know they don't want it to end. It's truly one of those, one in a life time things that is special till world end. So with that said I will part with some words of wisdom and love to all.........NEE!!!!! NEE!!!!!!!.....♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👌👍✌😆😂🤣
For me, even being a massive Python fan, it's certainly right up there even in the top 3 (I even enjoy it over Brian). But Arplane! is funnier. Okay it had a FAR larger budget (close to 7x larger). But it just had far more and far better jokes as well, just my opinion though!
I especially liked the new name of the Knights of Ni! : "ecky ecky ecky ecky fu Kang, zu boing, gahzaahhngz ... Ni!" We had the movie on a fancy new Sears TV with a built-in video recorder/player and camera. It was proprietary because that was before Beta and VHS. This movie was included as a demo with the TV because it was just a couple years since it was released. It took us about 30 rewinds to get the transcription, but there was still some disagreement. Some said the middle part was "fu Tang", but they are heretics.
Dear viewers: IF you find "Oh my god!" to be entertaining and insightful commentary ... You have hit the fucking jackpot. (Imagine how many of those didn't make the edit) IF you feel otherwise, Buckle up buttercup because this will be a long ride.
Just found your channel through this video by accident, how fun!!! I'm subscribing! I hope you do their NEXT movie which is even better, "Life Of Brian"! (Maybe you did it already, I'll have to check).
Ok guys I love the way y'all do the show. But yall left out all or most of the iconic funny scenes. If it were not for that this would have been the best reaction I've seen. ♥️🙏👍
This is a good movie but my damn funny receptors are so burned out from the internet that it takes a lot more wackiness to make me laugh. Keep it up, good work
Midwest Urbanites are about to "mount the horse" of Monty Python land. How will they react to this uproarious salute to King Arthur without dissolving into ROTFLMAO?;) As "Obi-Wan Kenobi" might say: Coconuts do migrate, from a certain point of view. Trees near the high tide line drop ripe nuts into the outgoing tide, to spread far and wide across the Pacific ocean. 10:30 Aw, you left out the Insulting French Knight's discourse! You left out Sir Robin's minstrel's songs, too! Such a disappointment.;) Not The Gatekeeper and the Sparrow question, too? Bummer. You passed on the funny parts!

"A moose once bit my sister" has entered the English language as slang for "things are getting strange."
Great reaction. Thanks!

@@Fatherofheroesandheroines It also makes no sense, considering the sentence is using the English language itself.

The sword is scimitar not samatar. Unless there is some joke I don't recognize

At some point you NEED to react to the 1980 comedy classic "Airplane!", by any 2 or 3 that have never seen it. It's an experience.
I made a new list just for you.
`Tis but a scratch.` Is still a common response to a minor wound if you`re my generation.
A friend of mine crashed his Honda on bend and lost a kneecap......that`s what he said, just before he fainted.
The ending was a total "cop out"!;)
The ending was like this because they very much ran out of money.
So Eric Idle just said: "Everyone went to jail".
