First Time Watching * Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) * ..And I Couldn’t Stop Laughing 

Reading is hard.

Also back in 1975 it wasn't *all* that long since movies all had their credits at the beginning. Look back into the 50s and 60s and all films had credits at the beginning and just a single "The End" screen at the end.

I did realize the only way to the enjoy the film is to not think to hard on it lol

@@deving9793 Hey mr DevinG I want to know what special milkshakes you drink to get muscles. I want to get big muscles too, so people not be mean to me. 😐

Are you suggesting that limited budgets migrate?

That’s was a smart move because it definitely caught my attention

Only allowed for one horse*

😂😂 The only horse i the film

I think my favorite scene was bring out your dead😂.

@@deving9793 fyi - the whole bring out the dead was something they really did in Europe during the Black Death. Over 1/3 I think of all people in Europe died from it.

You forgot us stoners. We loved Python too

​@@deving9793the bring out your dead was parodying the black plague. Carts would be rolled through the streets collecting the dead so they could be burned later

What do you mean in the 70s? I still quote this movie today!!! And I was in college when this came out. And we weren’t nerds either. I fart in your general direction.

I hope it made more than the budget because it was definitely a good watch

@@deving9793 Oh yes it did.

Also, I understand that none of them knew how to ride anyway.

There was one real horse, if you remember. The scene where the historian was killed...

John Cleese has been quoted from interviews stating that not only did none of the people knew how to ride a horse, but they also lacked the time and money to get them lessons to learn.

😂😂😂The bring out your dead had me rolling

How can you take anything in this movie seriously 😂

@@deving9793 Sometimes you just have to sit back and let the comedy happen.

Ohh ok. Well I would’ve broken that oath instantly 😂

@@deving9793 Most men would have. Galahad's entire thing was that he was the only one of the Knights of the Round Table to ever achieve finding the Holy Grail-the cup used by Jesus during the Last Supper and that supposedly was used to catch his blood during the crucifixion-because Galahad was the only one who was pure and virtuous enough to do so (the mission God charged King Arthur and his knights to do). If memory serves, Galahad finally locates it then dies shortly after, a virgin, because he's *that* pure. Pretty much his entire life was dedicated to just serving that purpose. The movie's a satire of Arthurian legend, that the knight whose entire thing is his purity is the one faced with an entire castl full of nubile teens, some not legal, but who're all horny, and that he wasn't pure enough to resist temptation.

You want another movie about the holy grail, you should watch ‘The Fisher King’ (1991) One of the best movies I’ve ever seen.

@@gluuuuue 16 was always the legal age Britain!

Lmao... Good to know its not meant to make sense 😂. I thought it was just me

@@deving9793 Dude. If you're looking for sense in a Monty Python production... then you've already failed.

I appreciate it! I'll definitely have to re-watch it because there was a lot going on

In 25 years of watching this movie there are still things I haven’t noticed or totally let pass me by.

he missed a lot cos he talked thru it, instead of pausing

@@iddjutt Yeah I know. Just didn't want to say it.

😂😂😂 I almost choke on my laughter

Oh gotcha! I appreciate you elaborating

They don't usually get better though

​@@phil8821They don't. 😂

That was the funniest part of the movie 😂😂

That's the loudest I've ever seen anybody laugh at the Holy Hand Grenade instructions.

😂😂😂 talk broke down every detail

I've had worse

😂😂 that was hilarious

@@deving9793especially after he’s left with 1 leg and says ‘right I’ll do you for that’😂😂😂

I appreciate that

Appreciate it! I check that one out

@@deving9793I know you didn't care much for Life of Brian the first time you watched it. Maybe if you had seen this one first you would have a better idea what you're up against. Monty Python takes a historical topic and rips it to shreds with wicked humor. On the surface, it makes no sense, just random chaos. But when you look deeper, the satire is razor-sharp.

Once I actually got into it, it was hilarious

I have to go back and find the actual murderer

If that’s the case it was definitely creative and funny. Thank you for tuning in

Well, coconuts aren't exactly cheap either. Nobody migrates for free!

Definitely gonna see that one soon. Thanks for tuning in

Oh snap! I did notice there was only one horse in the movie

😂😂😂😂😂 word for word

​@@deving9793show your friends this movie, then quiz them after about swallows. We'll see how much they were paying attention to details 😂

One those sit back and laugh films

That does make sense 😂😂

Appreciate you watching!!

I see why!

Thanks for watching and tune in next time

This reaction turned me into a newt...

Tryna give you all better content bro! I'm glad you noticed 💪🏾

I went back and read them. Absolutely hilarious 😂

😂😂😂 the only horse

And that's how you know it wasn't any of Arthur's knights.

That’s interesting! What was the purpose?

@@deving9793 To fight boredom in their own way, I suppose. They had to copy books by hand, too.

A lot of the animation was based this "marginalia", such as the trumpets up the backside. Terry Jones was a historian, so much of the weirdest stuff in the film is based on reality (or mediaeval suppositions).

@@deving9793 as mikey J said, mostly just for fun lol

Ohh yea! That part was hilarious too 😂

I am a new fan now lol

Oh wow! So basically beating yourself sin free lol

"Pie Jesu domine, dona eis requiem" actually translates as" Merciful Lord Jesus, grant them rest" - referring to the souls of the dead. Not the funniest of lines in the film, but the most repeated.

@@deving9793 pretty much!

I appreciate the love brother and the special token!!

I did notice that!! Its amazing they created a entire film with 6 men

@@deving9793 There were other actors, but still 6 men playing the most of the characters.

I got you family! Word is bond

They did not have enough money to pay for the use of horse so they used coconuts

That’s saying a lot fam, one the BEST movies!?

Appreciate it! Finally decided to ket it grow back

😂😂😂

The first fifteen minutes of the reaction, he missed probably a third of the jokes, because he was in reaction and talk mode. But it's fine.

Im sure a few but I did catch some as well..I had to catch the credits to realize it was an act

So this was a play off of that?

Yes. The Knights of the Round Table. Camelot. Lancelot and Guinevere. Etc.

​@@AbolitionistPrivateerAnd despite the humour being stretched to absurdist lengths there are a lot of keen observations of Arthurian lore and medieval life (though mixing up the time periods for when the plagues occurred, when there was the witch burning craze etc etc - though that is in keeping with the anachronisms in the Arthurian legends). The Monty Python team, apart from the American animator Terry Gilliam, were educated at Oxford and Cambridge with Terry Jones being a medieval historian.

@@deving9793 There's a movie called "Excalibur" from the early 80s, probably the best King Arthur movie ever made, definitely worth a watch.

I know lol. I missed them the first time around

Thanks bro! I appreciate it

Appreciate it family

This was HILARIOUS!!

Must have been your favorite

@@deving9793 Don't get me started on Tremors.

@@deving9793 Being able to quote one scene was enough to be a 'gamer/nerd' Quoting the entire movie, I could have been a nerd-god. Unfortunately, that's not helpful when you're a teenager.

Also genuinely the animator, but he didn't genuinely die otherwise Time Bandits and several other films wouldn't have been made.The witch was John Cleese's wife, they divorced two years after the film was made - I wonder why?

Thanks for watching

😂😂

Appreciate you watching!

This is definitely a movie for more seasoning movie watchers for sure

Already up on the Patreon😂😂 Coming to RU-vid in the near future

Oh Sh*t! There was an actual show before the movies? That makes sense why I was confused

@@deving9793 Some of their best sketches are The Lumberjack Song, Dead Parrot, Ministry of Silly Walks, Argument Clinic, and the Spanish Inquisition. Be very careful with The Funniest Joke Ever Written.

😂😂 Thanks for tuning in
