@@ftumschk Monty Python silliness; true. Not a real insult and only made up by them: possibly false. In fact, elderberries were used in the middle ages to make "poor man's wine", as they were more readily accessible than grapes in Britain. After looking through about 2 dozen websites about this phrase, I could not find any verified entimological evidence, however I did find reference to the origins of elderberry wine on a gardening website which would imply that it was a peasant drink and provided a cheap drunk. "I fart in your general direction", yelled from atop a castle wall, has a direct historical origin related to a specific incident after the Norman conquest, which is far too long for me to explain here but is not hard to look up.

It was incredibly popular with the British public and the vast majority of college age Americans. There's a reason nearly every English dictionary has an entry for Pythonesque. Saying you should go into any movie completely blind seems like a blanket policy rife with holes. Are you saying it's fine to watch Spaceballs without having ever seen Star Wars? Or watch Avengers: Endgame without seeing any other MCU film? Sure, the creators try to make sure you will enjoy it without context, but how much better are they when you have the proper frame of reference. I've seen many youtubers and friends watch Holy Grail that get so hung up trying to understand the style that they miss all the humor.

Normies either never saw it or pretended they didn't know what you were talking about, but it slowly caught on with the wider public over the years. I found it baffling and fascinating as a youngster, but the ending always seemed too abrupt and left me wanting a more satisfying conclusion... but it's grown on me over time. These days, I appreciate Monty Python's approach to addressing the absurdities of society and life more than ever. Their penchant for breaking out in spontaneous song or senseless, bloody violence, without warning, never fails to bring a grin to my face.

"I'll be watching 12 Monkeys soon, which is also Terry Gilliam?" That's a great movie and you're about to meet a great director. Most of his oeuvere is flat-out amazing, his worst movie is still good. You're going to get a lot of suggestions for which one to see next, but make sure you do see the "Dream Trilogy" - "Time Bandits" "Brazil" and "Baron Munchausen" - in that order. Time Bandits is about the dreams of children, Brazil about the dreams of youth, and Baron M about the dreams of the elderly. "Brazil" is probably his most iconic movie. "Baron Munchausen" though is my personal favorite. Another one I want to mention that everyone seems to overlook is "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" featuring Heath Ledger's last performance, and tribute cameos by his friends, Jude Law, Colin Farrel, and Johnny Depp.

The decision for having coconut-shell clopping serfs instead of horses was decided at an early stage simply because it was silly, not for budgetary reasons. (The Pythons were hugely influenced by The Goon Show on radio, where clopping coconut shells featured frequently.) Besides, few, if any, of the Pythons could ride horses, and it would have been more expensive to hire actors/extras to play the horses than to have real ones. Not only that, but coconut jokes run throughout the film, and the "Concord" scene would only have worked if Eric Idle was playing the "horse".

@@sithlordkaeyl21 Actors love nothing more than regurgitating an entertaining anecdote, even if they're not true. The fact is that the clopping coconut "horses" were in the earliest versions of script, long before the budget was decided. Furthermore, references to coconuts (and/or swallows) run all the way through the film, and there are scenes requiring one or other of the knights to talk to their "horses" and for the "horse" to talk back. There is NO WAY that those scenes were last-minute additions, as they're so intrinsic to the script, and take up many minutes of screen-time. As for "literally" every member of the Pythons saying otherwise, Terry Jones, who was "literally" the director and co-scriptwriter, said NOTHING about ditching the idea of having real horses due to budgetary, or any other, constraints. In the official "biography" of the Pythons ("Monty Python Speaks"), Jones said quite clearly, that Michael Palin came up with the coconuts idea in an early brainstorming session.

The historian was murdered by someone on an actual horse, meaning it wasn't any of King Arthur's knights. I suspect it was a framing by the dastardly French!

Here’s something almost as absurd as Monty Python: KZitem thought it would be ok 👌 to insert a 43 minute advertisement into this video! What silly ad team creates a 43 minute ad and then pays KZitem tons of money to play it?

It's ironic because they get arrested for something they didnt do. The historian got murdered by someone on a real horse; something Arthur & pals didnt have.Probably by the French :P Also the ending is a *literal* cop-out.

Feel better soon, Jen. Okay, here goes. Re : "Bring out your dead." Yup, 'death carts' were an actual thing during times of plague. There were simply too many victims to bury, and not enough able-bodied men to do it. Remember 2020's "refrigerated morgue trucks?" Same concept. 😢 Re: "Coconuts and invisible horses." So iconic that if you visit that castle today, the guy who runs the gift shop will happily go outside and film you prancing around banging coconuts, which he provides. 🥥 🐦 🤺 🏇 🐴 All of the animation sequences done by Terry Gilliam, - the only American Python. (Although he lives in England.) Re: Carol Cleveland, "the Witch, Zoot, etc." Happy to report she is still alive today and any attempts to burn her at the stake have been unsuccessful. The script was written by Terry Jones, who majored in medieval history and literature at Oxford. Believe it or not, all of the most outrageous scenes in the movie were lifted right out of the old chronicles, especially the 12th century Geoffrey of Monmouth. (But scholars have long realized that he had a VERY fanciful imagination.) 😏 The Ballad of Sir Robin - and all of the other hilarious Python songs - were written by Eric Idle and Neil Innes, - Sir Robin and his minstrel. They were the Lennon-McCartney of Python. 🎶🎵

It's not just the jokes in this movie. Most people are too young to get how much they pranked the audience in the theater with this film. Remember, this came out when films were actually made of film and some movies had actually had intermissions and all movies had credits at the end. So when the intermission sign came up and the somewhat typical intermission music started, people got up to go take a break but it's just there long enough to let them stand up and then feel foolish when it restarted. Then at the end it looks like the film broke. That happened occasionally so you'd wait for them to repair it and restart. And the intermission music started up again so you had a queue that they knew it was broken and were working on it. So you wait.... and wait.... and wait. Everyone starts looking at each other with that "I think it's over but I don't want to walk out first" look until someone finally gets up and they all realize that's actually the end of the movie.

I was in high school when this came out - my friends and I thought it might have been the funniest thing we'd ever seen. Monty Python's Flying Circus was our favorite television show. My grandmother had almost no sense of humor, and no appreciation at all for absurdity. My cousin was visiting her, and Grandma wanted to watch TV. She thumbed through the TV Guide - said she was looking for something they would enjoy, meaning something she would enjoy. My cousin sighed and prepared herself for something deadly boring. Grandma turned on the TV and changed the channel, and after a few seconds, the opening skit of an episode of Monty Python started. My cousin was thinking that she might have misjudged Grandma as they watched the opening credits, and then the first bit of the regular episode started. About a minute into that skit, Grandma announced indignantly, "This isn't the circus!" and changed the channel again to something boring.

It's amazing how many times this spontaneously appears in my everyday life. Just this last week I was with a new-ish group of friends when suddenly the cave with the deadly bunny and its message ending with "aaaaargh" came up, even though we'd not mentioned Monty Python before! 🤔 But maybe this is only true with writers and theater people.

I learned so many of the lines from this film from my older sibling's college theater friends and finally got to watch a showing by the residence hall council in a dormitory basement at midnight when I went away for uni...it was quite fun! 🥳 Great to see you reading the silly subtitles at the beginning - it can be hard to read without pausing. Fun Film Industry Fact: Credits used to be at the beginning and the trailers at the end - the trailers (called such because they were taped in place at the end of the movie reel by the projectionists) were equivalent to today's previews and included teasers for serial (weekly) films as well as the full-length features. I can't recall when the switch was made, but it happened and now we have previews and end credits instead. Opening credits are still there, but the content is only a portion of the films production.

Awesome review of a classic comedy!!! Seen this movie like a ga-billion times and it NEVER gets old and always notice something different. Now that you have seen this masterpiece of a film, think it is time for you to check out "EXCALIBUR" from 1981. It is about the King Arthur legends and you could compare the 2 movies together to see which is the best.

Jen, I love this movie. You probably didn't notice the size of the creek the bridge went over that King Arthur fought the black knight over. Probably 3 feet wide and 6 inches deep. He didn't even need to use the bridge. Also, Brave Sir Robin had a picture of a chicken on his tunic. There's all kinds of little things throughout this movie that you'll pick up with repeated viewings. Also, the Python guys all did many different roles. Another cult movie you have to check out is Harold and Maude, a kind of a black comedy, love story with music by Cat Stevens. For the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 3rd, you need to watch a racehorse movie, like Seabiscuit. It's a wonderful true story that I promise you'll love. Promise.

In the TV series, Cleese played the part of Dennis More, a highwayman who raided the Lupin Express. His horse was called Concorde. Hence Launcelot's squire's name. In one iteration of the script, they found the Holy Grail in Harrod's.

11:55 *me wheezing* 😁 Yes, more Python, Jen, or I shall say Ni to you! Life of Brian is amazing and I can’t wait to see your reaction! Also, a kinda-sorta Pythony recommendation would be A Fish Called Wanda (it’s got John Cleese and Michael Palin in). As for the music in Holy Grail, originally the soundtrack was going to be more medieval and folksy (and written by Neil Innes, Sir Robin’s minstrel), but the Pythons decided after it was all written that they’d prefer something more epic and orchestral, so they went to De Wolfe Music and made the whole soundtrack from pre-existing library pieces. Anyway, yes, on to 12 Monkeys now! One of my all-time favourites 🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒
