So, the peasants arguing with King Arthur is a satire with a real basis. You see, the etymology of "Communism" derives from the resource-sharing practices of serfs ("commonfolk") during the Middle Ages. A Lord would allow his commoners to live off the surplus production of the land owed to him, and they chose to distribute their resources similarly to what is advocated by Marxist Communists. The joke is that the peasants here are using modern Communist discourse to discuss social norms that are literally 1+ millennia old.

For budget reasons , only one real horse in one scene , with horses you need to hire people to look after those horses , you also need to train actors to ride . Also end scene with lot of extras as troops , one days work to cut cost down . You can see it later in 1983 , Rowan Atkinson , Black Adder TV series , season 1 , real horses , real outdoor scenes and BBC heads were furious about how much it cost , so rest 3 seasons are filmed indoor studio sets .

I've seen plenty of millenials react to Monty Python and love it, so it's not a generational thing. Mary just doesn't get absurdist humour, it was painful watching her trying to reason why they didn't just ride a real horse, completely missing the joke. But it would be a boring planet if everyone liked the same things. So now she's seen it, she realizes that type of humour isn't for her, which is fine. Each to their own, variety is the spice of life, and other cliches.

I knew you'd feel this way, and this is why I tell the uninitiated to start with Life Of Brian (which is better), not "Holy Grail". Not that I expect you to watch it now! PS: It's not a "nostalgia" thing, it was a cult movie made for fans of the TV series (which was totally random and absurdist). The uneven pacing of the movie is not something that is a matter of aging poorly, it was always there. Some bits were great, some not, and most fans know that going in. "Life Of Brian" is a much more evolved work, has a great beginning, middle and end, brilliant satire on the history of religion (specifically Christianity)....and had a much bigger budget to include camels!

For 1975, this movie was groundbreaking. Add to that the fact that it is made by Brits and they make fun of their own lore. As a 12-year-old I found it absolutely hilarious.

Fair enough. This style of British humor isn’t for everyone. However this movie was popular enough to spawn a Broadway musical “Spamalot” that still touring. Saw it in Londons West End. They sold killer rabbit slippers during the intermission.

I remember watching this being the only kid with some French and I laughed when I heard “Fetchez la vache” and I laughed too early. Everyone else had to wait to see the flying cow to get it. 😂

My favorite part of the film is that EVERYONE eventually just accepts that they aren’t really riding horses. Think of the money that could have been saved on all the Westerns throughout film history. Thanks for reacting to this one, Mary.

Breaking conventions, stereotypes, and expectations is where the humor came from. The humor comes from the often unexpected twists. The Python sketches were a well-known series and very unpredictable. It is certainly a product of the time, and if you don't have all those stereotypes in mind, or didn't grow up with all the things that we experienced, the humor doesn't have the same frame of reference to surprise you. Even for me who loved this as a kid, and I still remember Python fondly for the laughs it gave my friends and I, it doesn't have the same surprise to it as it did back then.

I definitely recommend watching the *Life of Brian*! I think it will nicely cover most of your gripes with this movie. The Holy Grail is much more a series of skits than a movie, whereas the Life of Brian has a much more continuous story and themes. I find the main character much more likeable as well.

I saw this film in the theater and loved it. I'm sorry that you didn't but that's how it goes. I would have recommended that you watch some of their television show (Monty Python's Flying Circus) from the early 1970s. You were right about the coconuts being a result of not being able to afford horses. The random ending was also a result of their using up their budget, so they settled for this way for it to end. BTW, the Arthurian legend also ends without them finding the Holy Grail.

4:18 It's called self-flagellation where monks would wander cities and villages, whipping their own backs bloody to appease God so he would take the Plague from them, so yes, they thought very much this was what God wanted from them. And since mixing open wounds with an airborn disease isn't very bright, Monty Python thought this was a more appropriate portrayal of that practice.

There is a *LOT* of trivia about this movie. The portrayal of the times is more accurate than most other movies that set themselves in these times. The coconuts-for-horses was because they couldn't afford actual horses. Some legendary rock groups helped fund the movie. The monks beating their heads with the boards is historically accurate, too... they were called Flagellants. In various places throughout the movie, you'll see people with birds. You'll also see a number of people doing things with cats. You know the horseman who killed the historian is *not* one of Arthur's band because none of them have horses. "Tim" the enchanter was named that because Cleese forgot the name and just said "Tim" and the cast just went with it. There are lots of other trivia which can be found on the web. As far as culture... this movie was HUGE in nerd/geek circles in the 70s and 80s. Practically the whole movie is quotable and we used to go around quoting it all the time. It was practically a 'secret language' among us. ;)

@@johnpaullogan1365 they punished themselves by flogging themselves a variety of ways. I certainly was taught in school that they whipped their backs and stuff... I'm sure Monty Python took some liberties to make it funny, but Flagellants were a real thing.
