[OkieLovinNC]

I like the killer bunny in 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'. It's a classic...

[mastermandolin]

Monty Python, eh? Let's see if you can figure this one out.

Crucifixion, yes? Out the door, on the left, one cross each

[matt the fiddler]

funny you guys should mention the killer bunny...

[mandofingers]

Oh my gosh, this movie is hysterical!

Strange, to say the least, hehe, but completely a classic must see.

[linzee_nc]

Use the Holy Hand Grenade!!!!

Great, great, great movie.

I'm not dead...I think I'll go for a walk...I feel happy

There are so many hilarious quotes I can barely contain myself.

Life of Brian, right?

[mastermandolin]

Life Of Brian, you are correct, sir!

[OrnotMajestic]

Whoo hoo!! And it's been a while, too!! :D

[Guesswho_Chick]

Linzee!! I had no clue you liked mp!!! :D *btw I was watching a band live this weekend (little fourth of july concert), and I totally felt like I needed you there! lol!!

matt - why's it funny mentioning the killer bunnies?? well, besides the bunnies themselves...almost posted about them in my first reply *giggles* we actually have a store here that sells stuffed killer bunnies!!!! :D :D

[matt the fiddler]

i posted someting about that clip from the move not 2 days before it was brought up here...

[Bluespaz]

and the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs, and anchovies, ....

yeah I love that movie. I had the whole thing about the 'holy hand grenade' in my signature. it was longer than any post I ever wrote

Look at all the bones!

[linzee_nc]

Wish I coulda been there Amanda...

I had to watch The Holy Grail after reading this thread last night. It still cracks me up.

Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?

[mandolinsrule]

i like the flying circus stuff
especially the parrot skit
this is an ex parrot
he is no more
no no he's just resting

[Guesswho_Chick]

aw Linzee - it would have been fun if were you were! Was a classic rock cover band *but a guy in it is the guy who runs the music store where I take lessons, so I had to check em out!!*

Wierd Matt - doesn't seem like a topic that would be brought up often on message boards...but...we are a strange lil group of people on here!!! :D

Holy Grail is great...meaning of life is awesome too!!

How could we all have died at the saaaaame time?? :p

and I think my fave tv skit would have to be the spanish inquisition :D one of the reasons I loved the movie Sliding Doors :)

[andariel]

I'll kill ya
u'll what?
come on ya pansy!!

oh my gosh!! that movie is continually a crack-up video!! one of my favorite parts was the black knight blocking that bridge and king authur had to fight him, and of course the classic killing bunny, and u can't forget the whole french scence with flying animals over the wall and stinging insults. all in all, it was a strange, poorly acted, hilarious movie that i could see over and over again and keep laughing. whoeva hasn't seen this movie, it's a must cuz it's so funny!!

~it's better to be heartful than heartless. [nod]

[fiddleronfire32]

i LOVE the dead parrot thing!

POLLY!! *smack* WAKE UP POLLY! *smack smack* IVE GOT A LOVELY CRACKER FOR YOU POLLY! *smack*
he's not dead, he's pining, pining for the fjords!
If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it'd be pushin up the DAISIES!

has anyone ever heard the cheese shop one? omg its hilarious!

will you SHUT THAT BLOODY BOUZOUKI UP!!!
***
Do you actually have any cheese here at all?
Oh yes.
Really?
Well, no. I was deliberately wasting your time, sir.
Right. You realize that I will have to shoot you now?
Right-o, sir.
*bang!*
what a senseless waste of human life.

i have way to many of my favorite line from holy grail, but i'll leave you all with this:

I'm a lumberjack and i'm ok, i sleep all night and i work all day. I put on women's clothing and hang around in bars!!

bye bye creeksters!

[Guesswho_Chick]

Or how about Spam????

I like mine with ketchup!
*groans*

hehehe

Or the upperclass twit of the year??? *giggles***

and the universe song...*sighs happily* so many great things!

lumberjack rules! except I thought for ages he said just like my dear papa which actually would have been a lil funnier than mama :p

and the homicidal barber....*giggles hysterically*

[andariel]

monty python of the holy grail is definately one of the funniest things i have eva witnessed on a movie, but isn't there suppose to be other movies including monty python? i can't recall n-e right now, cuz honestly the only one i have seen is the holy grail, and that made me laughing right off. is there other movies which are equally or perhaps just as funny? i love a good comedy!! :D


~it's better to be heartful than heartless. [nod]

[mastermandolin]

One of my favorite sketches is the Bishop. It was a cross between a cop show from the 70's and the Saint. He gets a call from God to go tp the next case when the top of his crook lights up.

i know you posted somthin earlier but that was in a dune thread so i made my own separate thread .

[flutegrl71]

YES Monty Python is awesome! :) I've seen many Flying Circus episodes, although my favorite one I have seen once on BBC and they haven't aired it again...I'm still waiting... Michael Palin is my favorite, but strangely enough the parrot sketch isn't my favorite sketch! :)

My fav. part in the Holy Grail is when God appears to the knights!
Good idea, oh Lord!
OF COURSE IT'S A GOOD IDEA!

I bought the regular DVD of The Grail, and shortly thereafter the special edition one came out. Does anyone know what's on that and if it's worth it?

[Guesswho_Chick]

haha - that part is great! What's the matter - haven't you ever seen the hand of GOD before??!! Rotfl!!!!!!!! :D

dunno about the sp dvd - maaay have to check that out soon myself...sp's are usually worth it I think, but it is annoying when you get one and it has very nearly nothing on it.... :rolleyes: of course, that four disc Fellowship of the Ring set has probably seriously spoiled me as far as dvd extras....

[obsessedwithNC]

im not much of a brit humor fan ..
and i havent seen The Holy Grail completely through but...

the llama-credits- thing in the beginnning of the movie with the screen flashing red and yellow was absolutely hilarious!! i rewound the tape 3 times to watch that part again!!

[mandolinsrule]

oops i said it
oops i said it again
oops i said it again
ahhh i can't stop saying it
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

you must bring us a shrubbery

you must chop down the largest tree in the forest with a herring

it can't be done

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Taipan]

the special edition is pretty neat, it tells you all the stuff about the film, like how the same guy died three times in the same scene because they couldn't afford more actors, and how they only used one castle (until the one at the end) and just shot it from different angles.

the whole thing is bloody hilarious, even the weird swedish moose story at the start in the subtitles. and you've gotta love how he summons that entire army at the end and one or two cops stop the lot of them, classic.

[Guesswho_Chick]

Cool about the SE...

Oooo all these funny quotes...

She turned me into a newt she did!!.............Well I got better. :D

ooorrrrr

Bring out your dead!!! Bring out your dead!!! Ooooh how morbid...

btw does anyone else have the clint black album delectrified? He's got a version of the universe song from meaning of life on there with eric idle... :)

and has anyone else heard anything about eric idle's movie he's doing *writing I think?* Remains of the Piano...looks like an AWESOME cast so far!!

[KimjustKim]

Anyone familiar with the Argument Clinic from Flying Circus?

An argument isnt just saying 'yes it is' and 'no it isn't!'
Yes it is!
No it isn't!

I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to argue anymore.
HA! then why are you arguing NOW?
I could be arguing in my spare time.


Too good. Really.

[Guesswho_Chick]

ooo no I'm not...must...watch...flying...circus....skit...NOW :)

[mandolin_fan]

oh my gosh!! The Holy Grail rocks!!

C'mon you pansy! HAVE AT YOU!

Look, you've got no arms left!
Yes I have.
It's just a flesh wound.
Chicken! Chicken!

I'm invincible!
You're a loony...

We are the knights who say icky-icky-icky-icky-pikang-zoo-boing... (can't hear the rest) LOL!

Peasant 1: Who's that there?
Peasant 2: I don't know... Must be a king...
Peasant 1: Why?
Peasant 2: He hasn't got all over him.

Stop! Who approaches the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.

[mandolinsrule]

I've seen the argument clinic one.

I'm here for an argument.

Oh ... well this is abuse.

LOL

Absolutely hillarious.

[transformed]

and has anyone else heard anything about eric idle's movie he's doing *writing I think?* Remains of the Piano...looks like an AWESOME cast so far!!


did you hear about this from theonering.net? because i thought that later on they said it turned out to be just one big, false rumor.

of course, going off my memory, i'm probably just perpetuating more rumors....

[Guesswho_Chick]

Actually I heard about it from imdb.com (internet movie database), but did see on a site later that at least Orlando Bloom being in it was incorrect. Grr. Second time imdb has screwed up casting....hope at least most of the rest of the cast is in tact!! I'll be so excited if they are - SO much talent in it!!

But of course, no matter who'se in it, just being Eric Idle's could mean it's very good!! :D

[transformed]

oh, that's what it was. thanks :)

[saxophone_girl]

Your arms off.

No it isn't.

What are you gonna do bleed on me?

Have at you, ya pansy.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

What is your favorite color?

Blue, no green, ahhhhhhhhhh!

Those who wish to pass the bridge of death must answer me these questions three. What is your name?

I am Aurthur, King of the Britains.

What is your favorite color?

Blue.

What is the airspeed velocity of a swallow?

What do you mean, an African or European swallow?

WHAT!? I don't know that, AHHHHHHH!

How do you know so much about swallows?

You've got to know these things when your a king!

LOL

Absolutely Hilarious

[CANspeakCHINESE]

haha!! luvli! my sisters and i know the holy grail backwards in our sleep with one hand tied behind our backs!!

you there! old woman!
man.
man, sorry. what knight lives in that castle over there?
I'm 47.
what?
I'm 47. i'm not old!
well i can't just call you man.
you could say Dennis.
i didn't know you were called Dennis!
well you didn't bother to find out, did you?

i told you! we're an anarcho-syndaclist [spelling?] commune!


where'd you get the coconuts?
well, i found them.
found them? in Mercia? the coconut's tropical!!
what do you mean?
well, this is a temperate zone!


o, and the greatest...

someday, lad, all this will be yours!
what, the curtains?
no, not the curtains, boy! all that you can see! stretched out over the hills and valleys of this land!
but mother-
father! i'm father!
but father...i don't want any of that.

ok. i could go on forever!! that is one of the greatest movies ever made.

i also love the institute for silly walks skit!

[mandolin_fan]

She's got HUGE... tracks of land!

That's wonderful! I love that scene! I like the whole conversation between the guards and the father too! :D That movie is so funny!!!!!

[chickzilla]

No one else has mentioned the Killer blancmanges or the Camel Spotting
'Itsn't it true that you sir are in fact a, TRAINspotter?' ;)

[kokomo88]

can I do a little subject change and mention John cleese here? has anyone every seen Fawlty Towers?

[mandofingers]

Yeup. That guy has been in alot of stuff. I kinda sorta remember Fawlty Towers. The British show right? If its the one I'm thinking of, it was pretty funny.



BTW, your signature. Does the T.M stand for Toby Mac? I know that quote is in the DC Talk song What if I Stumble. And Toby's in the group. Just curious. :)

[Taipan]

They only ever made 12 episodes of Fawlty Towers I believe...absoltely classic show...don't mention the war! i did once, but i think i got away with it! every episode is a classic.

[chickzilla]

I have the Fawlty Towers boxed set... i love the show. It cracks me up. The only quarrel I have with it is that the episodes are all like 45 minutes long... it makes it hard to watch just one and then try to watch something else. I couldn't squeeze them into my Saturday night PBS BritComs scedule very easily!:rolleyes:

[kokomo88]

yah mandofingers it stands for toby mac :D

haha The Germans rocked I've got the box set too :)

[OkieLovinNC]

'And Now For Something Completely Different' is awesome. :) Discuss. [nod]

[Guesswho_Chick]

I LOVE And Now for Something Completely Different!! That military skit is just hilarious.... :D :D :D

[mastermandolin]

And now for something completely different..........a man with three buttocks.

Anywho, if anyone wants to know, there is a special edition 2 disc version of The Meaning Of Life. Grab 'em while you can

[CANspeakCHINESE]

wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more, say no more.
