| Favorite Monty Python Lines/Scenes?
Posted: 3/19/2006 9:55:54 AM | Another thread reminded me of one of my favorite Monty Python movies, The Quest for the Holy Grail.
What's your favorite line or scene from a MP movie?
Mine has to be the dialogue between two peasants and King Arthur and their discussion of politcal systems. As King Arthur is getting more and more annoyed at the peasant and threatens him, the peasant retorts:
"Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being repressed! "
Classic.

Posted: 3/19/2006 10:12:31 AM | The Black Knight was funny: Come back!! I'll chew your legs off!!!
One of my favourites was from Life of Brian:
"BRING OUT YOUR DEAD (bell tolls) BRING OUT YOUR DEAD
Here here!! We got one here!
But I ain't dead yet
No but you will be soon enough! (Thunk as he bops the Old age pensioner on the head and tosses him on the 'dead cart')
So random and silly.
Thanks BB for making me think of these guys. Hmmmm. Perhaps a MP night is in order - has been a few years since I've re-viewed any of their stuff.
I also liked the Pages in Quest for the Holy Grail - they with coconut shells to make the sound of horses hooves. Ridiculous!! | |

Next weekend, it is.. | |

I love Monty Python! My ex bf didn't like MP...probably why it didn't work out  I have all the movies and some CD's of their skits.
Just try being in a bad mood while listening to The Galaxy Song or the Penis song: it can't be done!
Other favorites: the magician "Tim" and the Knights and their shrubbery. LOL | |

the sit on my face song is not from a MP movie, it only appears on the contractual obligations album.
Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Robin.
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways,
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!
He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp,
Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken,
To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin!
His head smashed in and his heart cut out
And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged
And his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off
And his pen--
(and after running away from the 3 headed knight)
Brave Sir Robin ran away,
Bravely ran away, away
When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin | |

Posted: 3/19/2006 10:52:30 AM | Love Monty Python....my son and I actually went out and bought Holy Grail after trying to rent it for a month and it was never in.
"It's only a flesh wound"...best scene in the movie.
Too many classic lines to even start trying to quote them all.
Should watch it again tonight...after I watch Jesus Christ Superstar...just found it in a box of my stuff my ex finally brought over. | |

The holy grail was my favorite of the monty python movies, and that french guy was great...
"come back and I shall taunt you a second time!"
"what is the average air speed velocity of a swallow?"
"european or north american?"

Posted: 3/19/2006 5:07:48 PM | All Monty Python is great but what pops to mind right now is one of the insults from the French guards in Holy Grail:
"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries!" | |

Not so much as a by your leave. Look. I'm not saying that being a leper was a bowl of cherries. But it was a living. I mean, you try waving muscular suntanned limbs in people's faces demanding compassion. It's a bloody disaster.” | |

If you're old enough to remember what records are, the album "Matching Tie and Handkerchief" had one of the sides with a double groove. One time you'd play it and get on set of skits, another time you'd get another. They never mentioned anything about it. Just bizarre - couldn't have surprised us more. Later, they just released it as a normal version. Also, both sides were labelled "Side 2".
"Live at the Hollywood Bowl"; John Cleese as the Albatross-selling Woman walking through the audience:
Wife: It's got to be some flavour, I mean everything's got a flavour.
Albatross Woman: All right! All right! It's bloody albatross flavour... Bleedin' seabird bleedin' flavour. ALBATROSS!!!
Wife: You get wafers with it?
Albatross Woman: Of course you don't getting f***ing wafers with it you c***. It's a f***ing albatross isn't it?
Somehow John Cleese could always be dignified while swearing. Darndest thing.
