Monty Python - Tim the Enchanter

[@kreskinkun]

"You're a busy man" is such a good line.

[@bguzewi0]

It's the small details that get me, like how the squires mimic nervous horse movements at Tim's first fireball.

[@DC7ceskalipa]

That's why this is the greatest movie ever. Why bother to explain everything? Group of knights just met a random guy on the random rock blowing random shit up...

[@benjamincox4211]

DC7 fuck context

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

Practice makes perfect. In Skyrim you can pick a fight with a pyromancer and just practice healing yourself or even fighting him and healing him until your restoration is maxxed... just keep passively fighting and avoid killing the Mage. Be nice and paralyze him, thank him for being your training partner and leave before he gets up again ! :-D Easy experience points. Oh, and do be careful not to die.

[@SamuelBlack84]

[@MartianManHunter2258]

That's because they have. Tim was hired as the special effects director for all the transformers movies.

Trust me. Me and Michael get along pretty good. There's not a tree in sight that doesn't get put to flame

A guest cameo of Tim the Enchanter tossing fireballs in the background would have made Game of Thrones so much better.

What's really nice about Tim the Enchanter is that he is just playing with magic as a demonstration, he doesn't attack anyone with it... although he uses it defensively as a warning...

[@poisonedivysaur]

That moment when you notice Cleese totally making up the name off the top of his head and no one skips a beat

[@MrJeppe313]

He didn't make it up, it was in the script.

[@crystal.wolfe1315]

+MrJeppe313 correction. It was made up, the script showed he was supposed to say a really long and complicated name and he forgot it

[@MrJeppe313]

+lillyandgarth No, that's a myth.

[@pekkahuhtanen812]

nope, Cleese and IMDb confirms it too, that he forgot the original long name and just said Tim

[@TheIrishEnigma]

Nobody skipped a beat because they cut right after he said it. Remember, in movies, long takes are uncommon as they are, long takes filmed from multiple camera angles are almost unheard of. Rule of thumb, everytime the camera switches, it's a new take.

[@steevinsuhgahl1161]

The mild applause is so great.

[@marciacarl718]

[@phildoyle8263]

There is a scene direction in lLfe of Brian that describes a crowd as being “day three of a county cricket match”

Tim is the Michael Bay of Monty Python. XD

This is the exact type of thing I'd do if I was an Enchanter.

[@Interestingenough4]

I love how John Cleese can do so many accents. In this movie alone, he does a common British accent, a French accent, and here, a Scottish accent.

[@EmileJoulbert]

And increasingly more Scottish as the scene progresses.

Theyre all relatively easy accents any one can do

If he forgot it why wouldn't they just do a retake?

[@SirLankselotYT]

I was told that the name of the enchanter wasn't Tim. It was originally some long, complicated name, but was hard to memorize. So when the enchanter's line came into play, he couldn't remember it and just improved. An amazing improve. I can't imagine how many people were laughing on set when he said that.

[@kwijung]

Sorry, no. You heard wrong.

[@kwijung]

Nope.

[@Kylezekrom]

+kwijung Actually it was decided that it would be Tim. After the actor couldn't pronounce the original name. It was not an issue with memorization, though.

[@EmileJoulbert]

Apocryphal story. Stop repeating it! John Cleese, on the DVD commentary: "I think Graham and I wrote this Tim the Enchanter. And it's funny how certain names have certain connotations, and when we were trying to think what he should be called, we came up with Tim - which was *not* a reference to Tim Brooke-Taylor - but I think was something to do with the fact the word 'timid' and 'timorous' and all those words indicating a lack of immense amount of bravery."

One thing I love about Monty Python is you can have Eric idle converse with Eric idle in two different costumes and believe them to be 2 completely different characters (born of the same mother of course 😂)

[@RICKONORATO]

[@tlatosmd]

They'd had prolly fallen off the edge of the world, as in "The Crimson Permant Assurance".

[@jaxonreid7588]

From what I heard, they originally intended to have a huge showdown with the French men, and the Rabbit of Caerbannog was supposed to make a reappearance. They would have the knights reclaim the Holy Grail and give the story an ending that tied up everything nicely. However, they eventually opted for the ending the show has, believing it to be a funnier take.

[@chardtomp]

I love Tim's repeated firepower demonstrations!

[@abobobini]

[@Divinemartyr]

lionheartx10. KZbinr. Does Total War let's plays as well as a few other games like Xcom. Mostly Total War. With Total War Warhammer he named several of his units after Tim the Enchanter. I recommend him if you like Let's Plays of games or want to learn the Total War system. And yes I know you only wanted to know who he is, I'm just, myself a pretty big fan of his and thought I might throw that out there.

[@Grimgolde]

It's hard to believe Chapman was drunk during much of the filming of the Holy Grail. It added to this particular scene quite well, what with the 'line amnesia' seeming like stuttering and terror. One of the truly great films around, despite(or perhaps because of) the little quirks like this one.

[@mkwarlock]

jokes aside, I love this shot: 0:32 Epic.

[@robertmiles1603]

The best part was definitely when he shot a friggin' ROCKET from the end of his stave. When they ran into the Dreaded Beast of Caer Bannog they should've just had Tim blast it to bits. Edit: And the Beast of Aaargh.

[@collossus44]

Lol at 3:37 he says a creature "so fowl" so hard he straight up spits it out into the air 😆

[@awaytosleep5762]

A GRRAILL!

[@murrayphillipson4830]

I love the fact he says “there a some who call me ……Tim?” Just this simple line works in so many ways. Firstly, he knows that people have different names for him but he’s not sure what they are, but Tim is the most common. Also, he doesn’t call himself Tim, but quite likes it. And then you think but why do they call him Tim, it’s such a mild name, when he seems so fierce, dower and threatening. So maybe he has a is a very different side to him, that goes by the name Tim, however he’s not sure and only has a vague inkling that this might be the case. Brilliant!

[@andybyron1]

It's also widely known that as Cleese was saying , "there are some who call me.......", he pauses because he forgot the rest of the line but then comes out with the unscripted "Tim?" They loved it so much that they kept it in the script

I just want to share that the first time I saw this movie was at a sleepover with the high school band. Most of them had seen it and quoted it all the time, so I was excited to finally watch it. At first, I was disappointed because it was old 10th century BS. But, about twenty minutes in, I had a sense of what I can only describe as bewilderment. I thought, "This is the funniest thing I've _ever_ seen. I didn't know anything could be this funny."
