Monty Python and The Holy Grail | Canadians First Time Watching | Hahaha wtf is this movie?! | React

Interesting tidbit: it turns out various scenes of this film (french soldier, witch burner..etc. etc.) were sold in audio only format and there for categorized as albums. So when we were uploading the initial.. oh god, dozen versions, we kept getting copyright blocked.

Turns out its because the audio of those scenes are considered 'music', and we had hell of a time cutting and recutting them until we got a version of the video that wasnt blocked.

i'm sure its been said in the comments already, but just adding my tidbit- "Ka-Niggits" = a bad interpretation of the word "Knights." That's just John Cleese having fun with the English language

Noone commented this so I guess I will. The ending is a literal "cop ou"

Dont over think it

A couple of friends and I watched this movie in 1975 when we were teenagers, we roared with laughter, laughed our brains out.

You left out "I fart in your general direction."

You have a lot to learn!!!!!!

Great reaction! Thank you!

Typical Frenchies.

Absolute EPIC comedy

it's like a baby throwing up on someone it's messy it's funny and there is no reason behind it hust enjoy the laugh and move on

George for once should look in to a mirror and learn about esthetics.
Sorry, I'm Dutch, you see?
Just being honest.
Can't help it.

Ecky ecky ecky ptang ZOO mby,smgrs...

"Where do they find these amazing sets?"
Me, a British person: What, fields and castles? I don't know, everywhere?

There were no end credits because all the people responsible for credits were sacked at the start of the film.

“Ohhh SHIT!” is one of my favorite lines, and so easy to remember.

...You know which generation these two are from when they call a 1.5 hour movie "short."

The last 2 minutes of black screen with music is because they sacked the people making the credits in the beginning.

Makes Ben Hur look like an epic

There are so many great details that it's impossible to choose a favorite. At the moment, the one that comes to mind is the way the trapped prince surreptitiously shoots that arrow out of his tower. Just "boing", nothing to see here....

Dennis stacks mud because he is a dirt farmer.

You don't even know what the Holy Grail is. Pretty embarrassing. Do some research. It would take ten minutes. Maybe you ditched history or humanities class. Btw, it's not a Bible thing.

Coming back to older videos before Simone started her nonsensical intros is...weird.

Madam, i believe you may be over feeding your cat.

The Tale of Sir Galahad from this movie single handedly ruined the word “peril” for me. I can’t hear that word and not burst into laughter.

Two movies where they do find the grail;
Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade
Excalibur

I think the girl reacting said oh my god 9 times lol

An hour and a half is am average time for a movie to run

Love, love, seeing you reacting to this all-time classic.
The term "Holy Grail" is NOT in the bible. Although it is a reference to the cup Christ used at the Last Supper. It was invented as part of Arthurian Legend during the period when chivalry was arising in medieval Europe.
As a teen, I could recite almost the entire movie word for word... great seeing it from the perspective of someone trying to figure out, "What is going on?"

When you say that Monty Python "is just those 5 guys in different roles" you omit the sixth member of the troupe : Terry Gilliam. He was the only non-British (American) member of the team and usually only performed in minor roles such as Patsy (Arthur's servant), the Soothsaying Bridgekeeper, the Green Knight, Sir Bors, and himself as the Weak-Hearted Animator. He co-directed this film with Terry Jones. He also was the animator of the cartoon scenes in this movie and the Python TV shows as well. After Pyton broke up he went on to be an acclaimed, if not always profitable film-maker. His biggest successes were "12 Monkeys", "Time Bandits" & "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". I would recommend the following Films if you like bizarre films: "Brazil", "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen", "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" & "Tideland". Another interesting film is "Lost In La Mancha", a documentary about his failed attempt in 1999 to shoot a movie about Don Quixote. He would eventually would make that film in 2018 as "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote"

Dude...and Dudette: Holy Grail is not in the Bible at all. It is from the whole "Knights of the Roundtable" mythology. So...?

Now if you really want to bake your noodle, try the forties movie Hellzapoppin

The ending was a cop out.

The ending is a cop out

In my opinion the best King Arthur movie is Excalibur in 1981.

LARPers gone wild

Lol I just realized that the german title is knights of the coconut. ( well just in german "Ritter der Kokosnuss")

With Monty Python, you just need to accept that it makes no sense and embrace the absurd.

My favorote low key joke os the Frenchman saying "Kaniggits." He's mospronouncing "Knights."

The ending is quite literally a cop-out of making a huge expensive battle scene

It's filmed in Scotland

It really helps to put this movie in context. That is, what it is parodying or satirizing. The whole Medieval world, Arthurian legends, et al. So, go read for a bit, then come back and watch it again.

The white rabbit in the film was borrowed from a local family for the day. They finished filming very late and had no place to clean it on set and so they had to return it covered from nose to tail in fake blood. The family were not impressed.

The ending is a literal “cop out.”

SPOILER:
They find the grail in Excalibur and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

"...What??"

Yep.

Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say Ni at will to old ladies.

Monty Python had an actual expensive battle scene planned for the end, but they ran out of budget so they just decided to end the movie with this hilarious deus ex machina.

I love how this movie is off-the-rails even during the opening credits.
