“Monty Python and the Holy Grail had me laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe!” Movie Reaction

[@jamesrsmith8558]

The police at the end..... it was a COP OUT. 😂

[@armchairgravy8224]

The dude that killed the teacher wasn't one of Arthur's. He was on a horse.

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

The killer was from a better-funded movie.

[@mannygee005]

hahaha I never noticed this... he was on a real horse! But wait... it could still be subterfuge.

[@spinynorman887]

This is one of those movies that you have to watch several times, because the humor is so fast that you simply cannot catch them all in one viewing.

[@Ethelred77]

I love the scene with Tim the Enchanter. "What an eccentric performance!"

[@jackrussell1232]

I saw this for the first time in the hospital recovering from a serious e-coli infection that almost killed me. It's an intestinal thing and I won't get into details, but suffice to say it's excruciating. My parents turned this movie on and left the room to go do something and I had to start frantically hitting the button to call a nurse because I couldn't keep from laughing and it was the most agonizing thing I'd ever felt. I actually remember watching Monty Python as being one of the standout hellish moments of the whole ordeal. It took a long time for me to watch it again.

The coconuts and the stopped battle at the end were Monty Python's answer to a very small budget when making this film. They couldn't afford to shoot a major battle or horses so they made jokes to cover the lack of funds. Just further proves that the members of Monty Python are comedic geniuses.

[@johnnygood4831]

Not everyone laughs at Monty Python because they don't get it. You either like it or you don't. I love it and your laughter.

[@firedoc5]

As kids in the mid-70's, we'd stay up very late to watch British shows like Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Goodies, Doctor in the House, The Young Ones, Benny Hill on PBS television here in the US. British humor is a bit different, and a lot of people may not get it, but I love it. This movie is so quotable, but this younger generation is losing out. So, I always recommend this to young'uns to pass it on. So very glad you watched it with your great laugh, Emma.

It was common in the middle ages for opposing armies at battle to shout insults at each other and during sieges of castles and walled cites the defenders would throw dead animals and other junk at the attackers and during the Plague someone would go around a pick up the dead. It is the wonderful talent of Monty Pythoners that they turn historical reality into jokes.

This is one of the those movies that gets funnier each time you watch it because you catch jokes that you may have previously missed. I hope that you react to the “Life of Brian” very soon. 😂 I’m sure that your reaction to that one will add to its amusement.❤

[@BoredPodcaster]

If this movie had not been as popular as it was, it would be one of those obscure movies that everyone would've assumed was a fever dream lol.

[@exile220ify]

Monty Python had a HUGE effect on comedy in the English speaking world - they did something like 43 episodes of half an hour in length and all are stream-of-consciousness They also singlehandedly popularlized the word "spam" to mean annoying emails. I recommend you do the other three movies, starting with "And Now For Something Completely Different", which is largely a series of remakes of their TV show sketches.

[@corralescoyote]

“That’s so tough… He just killed this man” 4:30 😂 I enjoyed watching the laughter and beautiful smile. ❤ Peace, from NM ✌️

[@randallshuck2976]

As a lifelong Monty Python enthusiast, I have always loved this goofy film. The coconuts have more to do with available funding than intentional comedy. (but it worked). If you want to see one as funny with more of a plot and a lot more funding try their "Life of Brian". Good reaction, glad you enjoyed them.

[@ernesthakey3396]

Monty Python's Flying Circus was a British sketch comedy show and they brought that style of entertainment to the bog screen. If you want to investigate their weird style of humor more, there are lots of clips on YT you can look for. Dead Parrot is iconic...

The animations were done by the one American member of Monty Python, Terry Gilliam. Terry later became a director and made some great movies.

[@joerenaud8292]

That was a great reaction to this kind of movie Emma, because it's so absurd when you first watch these guys perform this kind of silly humor that really isn't duplicated by anyone else. I fell in love with the Monty Python comedy gang when they first started doing their half hour comedy show on BBC before this movie came out because it was so unique and I'd never seen anything like this before. Your laughter can be infectious Emma, that's something about you that I think people like, but I was shocked when you told us that you'd seen in Germany naked men playing instruments with their asses???!!! I must admit I don't think I could watch something like that myself, it would be way too embarrassing for me to handle.

[@jdbroders64]

[@THOMMGB]

Hi Emma! And on top of everything, this was filmed on a very tight budget. All those castles they visited was, in reality, just one castle, dressed differently to make it look like another castle. They couldn't afford horses (except for the horse when the famous historian was killed) so they invented the coconut shell gag. Silly stuff, but I love this movie! - Thomas

It is possible that Germany was where they were inspired to draw ass-trumpets. I know the Monty Python comedy troupe were popular there, and often included it on their tours.

[@chrism7395]

The animated interludes like the trumpets were based on 'marginalia', which are random doodles made by scribes found in the margins of medieval documents; some of them are pretty wild!

[@waterbeauty85]

Because the deductive reasoning in the witch scene involves a duck, reminds of the section on logic in my math class. Don't remember how the problem went, but the answer was something like "all ducks are officers, but not all ducks are officers." It was presented in such a way so you wouldn't have preconceived biases and would simply follow the logical progression.

I've always wondered why they use "run away" instead of "retreat". Turns out that "retreat" entered the English language in around the 14th century. As this takes place in the 10th, the word did not exist. Not sure if intentional, though I wouldn't doubt it.

[@pteppic76]

Thanks for the interesting fact, but surely it’s simply that “run away” is funny

[@user-EricWatson55]

The woman dressed up as a witch is Connie Booth. She was John Cleese's wife. They co-wrote the series "Fawlty Towers". She played a housekeeper in that.

There was no money in the budget for horses and their handlers so they went with coconuts.

If you’ve ever seen the series “Fawlty Towers”, the maid, Polly, is also the woman thought to be a witch and weighed to see if she weighs the same as a duck. The actress is Connie Booth, at this time, she was married to John Cleese.

I remember the first time watching. When the credits rolled, I just thought ”There’s an after-credit. There must be one.” Spoiler, there isn’t, and the credits are reeeeealy long. My DVD copy also contained 10 m of pure black after the credits. I watched that too. The final joke of the movie 😂

[@WilliamScavengerFish]

T'was a grand reaction, I say.

[@stevedavis5704]

There’s two reasons why they didn’t use horses. The had a very small budget so they couldn’t afford to rent a bunch of horses and nobody knew how to ride a horse and they lacked the money and time to have their people take lessons. It’s one of the classic bits in the movies but it’s the result of circumstances not intent. They also ended the movie like they did because they were basically out of money and couldn’t afford a big fight scene.

[@brianb8060]

RUN AWAY! RUN AWAAAY!

[@jessiechen279]

The 'Witch' is Connie Booth and she's great alongside John Cleese in 'Fawlty Towers'😉

[@SFOlson]

This is such great movie. Since you enjoyed it, now I would highly recommend watching three other movies that include Monty Python actors; A Fish Called Wanda, Erik the Viking, and The Adventures of Barron Munchausen. I have seen Moose in real life, and wouldn’t dare getting close to one, even if I did have a magical toothbrush that I had gotten from an Oslo dentist.

A great movie, if this is your type of humor. Also check out THE RUTLES: ALL YOU NEED IS CASH. It was a project by Pythonian Eric Idle to spoof the history of The Beatles, and features cameos by the original cast of Saturday Night Live, like John Belushi, Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray, and Gilda Radner. It was a 1978 TV movie for NBC, and is hilarious. "The Rutles are a living legend. A living legend that will live on long after other living legends have died." - Eric Idle, Narrator

[@doorofnight87]

The movie is hilarious, and silly (which is what one needs to remember most about Monty Python's comedy, silly was their main objective) and also very, VERY smart. The British members of Monty Python all went to either Cambridge or Oxford, and among other things Graham Chapman (King Arthur) trained as a Doctor and John Cleese (Sir Lancelot) trained as a lawyer. The American, Terry Gilliam, I don't remember what university he went to but his main contributions were some of the weird side characters (like the bridge guardian) and all of the animations, which is a style he pretty much invented). I really enjoyed your reaction and the joy you clearly got out of the movie. Since you have a musical background, I would strongly recommend you check out the Stage Musical of this, called Monty Python's Spamalot, which is somewhat less absurdist, but has some great songs that will probably have you doubled over laughing.

There is a great story about the time the German Government invited these guys to give a lecture on comedy and how to be funny. And when their flight landed the limo the German Government sent, took the guys straight to Auschwitz. And the boys said, lesson number one, don't start your tours by taking guests directly to Auschwitz. Secondly, it was late in the afternoon and the camp museum had closed for the night so they couldn't get in, when one of the guys said, "Tell them we're Jewish".
