Monty Python- How to Use your Coconuts

A silly feature from the 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' DVD. Enjoy!

[@DontEatTheReaper]

The real question is of the airspeed velocity of the coconut after it was released from the bird's grasp.

[@pegmay7209]

Which bird?

[@lowershelfking]

Yes

[@michaelcreech8957]

Excellent I wasn’t sure how to utilize all these coconut shells I had laying around

[@aidengraves8922]

How many ya got?

[@JOA390]

So that´s why they gave to the first 100 people a coconut at the Holy Grail movie premiere

[@lukassnakeman]

hey guys this movies going to be a lot more expensive and complicated if we use real horse fuck it, get some coconuts. funnier anyway

[@jameshuntsman6046]

Brilliantly done, my wife wants a horse. I like this idea better. This will save me a lot of money. Thank you

[@colinlighten6700]

So you see, Monty Python invented Gangnam Style all those years ago!

[@1haloreach100]

are you suggesting that a 5 oz. bird can carry a 1 pound coconut?

[@rogermaris1961]

Not at all, it could grip it by the husk.

[@odindobres4673]

@@rogermaris1961 it's not about where it grips it, it's about weight ratios!

[@Lionel4482]

@odindobres4673 How do you know so much about swallows?🧐

[@Azurvix]

I made a joke in my d&d session about getting a magic set of coconuts that made us travel faster and my dm loved it so much he just gave it to me for free with the caveat that I have to clap 2 coconut halves together when I use them. They are called the coconuts of expeditious retreat

[@MsHarpsychord]

its not a question of where it grips it it's a questions of weight ratio a 1 pound bird could not carry a 5 pound coconut!

[@cposh7816]

A 5 ounce bird and 1 pound coconut

[@christophercarey3232]

Well it doesn't matter! Can you go and tell your master if he wants to join me and my Court of Camelot?

[@JohnnyCasey]

It could be carried by an African swallow!

[@KyleRayner12]

Why wasn't this in the movie?

[@neillogan103]

ReneeMontoya12 it is in the DVD as an outtake

[@Kithara1117]

That's where this is from. This is an extra feature in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

[@randommemesweekly4417]

ok so do i just cut coconuts in half, take out the insides, and bang the shells together?

[@TheRojo387]

Don't just throw out the coconut water! Drink it!

[@pegmay7209]

Suprisingly harder than it looks.

[@Morethanbobsonofbob]

Stop this. It’s Silly!

[@tubeyas57]

It's!

[@stellapuppy6086]

I agree this is getting way too silly

[@josetteandres]

No

[@dorkduchessdebbie]

I'm not sure when this was filmed but Michael's still pretty spry. :-)

[@Akela7711]

Anyone notice that at 00:34 it's a woman's hand?? XD :P

[@aidengraves8922]

Don't you mean 0:34 ?

[@artofwarfare]

truly educational...

[@perspellman]

When was this made? It's just Palin and not Python.

[@Zoras88]

I thought it was swallows.

[@joeywomer]

I like the part where he cuts his hand.

[@bakahaido]

i nearly died. this is too funny!

[@joeywomer]

lol. He butchered his hand.

[@applemask]

Enn Reitel was only 24 when it came out. They had to wait until he'd aged enough and gained enough life experience to plausibly take on the role of Mr. Johnson.

[@CanadaDragon1]

I remember seeing this on my "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" DVD, but I never tried to make my own pair of coconut halves. By the way, if you ever try to do this, don't use a cleaver to cut the coconut in half. It's probably best to use a saw.

[@Nitrinoxus]

Thumbs up if you correctly guessed right from the start where this was going.

[@StevenSimard]

Really? I thought they Migrated...

[@YumeDream39]

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

"You've got to empty halves of coconuts and you're banging them together"

[@christophercarey3232]

You can also use food storage containers in place of coconuts.

[@danielboiani288]

Delvin Mallory at the end.

[@ComradeHellas]

Excellent tutorial

[@DontEatTheReaper]

And subsequently of the velocity of the unladen swallow.

Supreme executive power comes from a mandate of the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!

I can also use food storage containers in place of coconuts as well.

Candle holders.

Did this air before Holy Grail?
