Best Skit From Monty Python & The Holy Grail

Poll question: Best Skit From Monty Python & The Holy Grail

Me and Loafie (see, I spelled it right this time honey) were watching 'Life of Brian' last night. Now, while that was a funny movie with some very memorable skits in it, I think it pales in comparison to Holy Grail.

So I'm wondering, if Holy Grail is the well, holy grail of Monty Python comedies, then what is the best skit from that movie?

[Nlighten1]

1. All of the above!

[Rowdyboy]

2. All are wonderful, but the Peasant scene really

makes me come unglued. Its ridiculously funny time after time after time.

[terrya]

3. The knights who say "Ni"...just because of the sheer silliness of it.

:-)

16. Oh what terrible times we live in

when I, an honest shrubberer, must watch ruffians say "ni" to old ladies....

[WoodrowFan]

4. Castle Anthrax? (NT)

[TXlib]

12. I second that.

I'd like some of that peril, too.

[Az]

5. Castle Aarrrrrggggggg

Perhaps he was dictating.

[LiberalVoice]

6. "White Rabbit" Scene

Without a doubt the funniest line uttered in that entire movie is "What's he going to do nibble your bum?"

And when John Cleese says he "soiled" himself again when the rabbit bites the head off of the first knight that tries to kill it.

I nearly soiled myself.

7. "If I went around calling myself emperor because some wet bitch threw a

scimitar at me, they'd put me away."

I always thought that was funny, but now I think of Katherine Harris as the "wet bitch" and it's even funnier.

8. "She turned me in to a newt."

"You don't look like a newt."

"I got better."

:-D

10. But she does have a wart!

9. The wedding scene

though I can't resist saying "Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! HELP HELP I"M BEING REPRESSED!!!!"

[MrBenchley]

15. Oh, let's not quibble about who killed who....

and NO SINGING!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

17. You killed the brides father!

I didn't mean to!

Didn't mean to? YOU PUT YOUR SWORD THROUGH HIS HEAD!

Is he all right?

[MrBenchley]

21. Someday, son, all of this will be yours.....

Wot, the curtains?

[rockymountaindem]

11. What are you going to do, bleed on me?

The first time I saw that movie I almost died from lauging when the black knight threw his sword through the face of that other knight. I didn't see that coming! Oh God that's funny. The rest of the fight with King Arthur is just a funny.

[TN al]

13. I think my signature line says it all

[MrBenchley]

14. The best for me is still...

when Graham Chapman crests the hill, and you realize the "horse" he's been riding majestically is him skipping, with Terry Gilliam clopping coconut halves together behind.

I saw the movie opening night in NYC, and missed half of the dialogue with the castle guards because the audience was STILL laughing about that. People actually SCREAMED with laughter when they saw it.

I've read since that the joke was a last minute addition...and that they were forced to do it when they couldn't make a deal with the guy who was going to rent them real horses for the shoot.

18. Bring out your Dead

And that great ending......


They turn ... Suddenly all the village fall to their knees, touching
forelocks etc. ARTHUR and PATSY ride into SHOT, slightly nose to
the air, they ride through without acknowledging anybody. After
they pass, the LARGE MAN turns to the CART DRIVER.

LARGE MAN
Who's that then?

CART DRIVER
(Grudgingly)
I dunno, Must be a king.

LARGE MAN
Why?

CART DRIVER
He hasn't got shit all over him.

[Ganja Ninja]

20. That's the one I liked too.

Where the guy brings out the old man that isn't dead yet and he starts singing to prove he's still alive and feeling good. Then the guy that brought him out bribes the cart driver to take care of him.

19. On to Camelot.....where they ham...and jam.....aaaaand SPAM-A-LOT!!

Get UP....STOP groveling!! :D
