I LOVE that there are still folks who haven't seen this absolute classic. Gives me another chance to watch them watch it!

Tis only a flesh wound!

I've seen this movie more times than I can count, and the repeated shot of Lancelot charging towards the screen still leaves me hoarse with laughter.

Good luck editing this for YouTube. You spent most of the reaction in stunned (and silent) disbelief. Great for Patreon, but it will make the YouTube edit tricky.

He did that for The Life of Brian. Not this film though.

The ending is a literal and figurative "cop out". You called it. That's what they intended.

There are no great mysteries or hidden meanings to the individual jokes and gags, they are all just as meaningless and stupid as they appear to be. What is some what clever is the use of this absurdity to spoof and satirically comment on the roles that myth, superstition and human ignorance and prejudice have played in the development of human society. The almost sacred legends of Britain in the Dark Ages and the legends of King Arthur and The Knights of the Round Table as canonized by Geoffrey of Monmouth, Thomas Mallory and others are meant to be a shining example of mankind's development. This film shows things closer to the truth. Several of the characters and elements are direct parodies of elements of these well known legends. The Trojan Duck and those types of things were just 'throwing in the Kitchen Sink ." You should immediately watch Excalibur from 1980 while this is still fresh in your mind. It is a straight drama about the exact elements depicted here concerning the Tales of King Arthur and his knights and the Quest for the Holy Grail. It is from Irish director John Boorman and is grand, epic and visually gorgeous. You will recognize several young actors from their early days. I have been intending to recommend this one for a while and this is the perfect opportunity.

Tegan, you're not the first reactor to try and apply logic to Monty Python. Just accept it for what it is. In the scene where the villagers accuse the woman of being a witch, the "witch" was played by Connie Booth, John Cleese's then-wife. Around the same time, they also created and starred in the sitcom "Fawlty Towers" together. And if you think about it, in a satirical, absurdist way, Monty Python did the Red Wedding 25 years before George R. R. Martin did.
