    Most comedies use the opening titles to simply credit the cast and crew, and save the jokes for when the movie actually begins, but not Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The Pythons will find room for humor anywhere. In Holy Grail’s opening credits sequence, there are inexplicable “Pidgin-English-Swedish” subtitles that disappear when the people cre...

    The opening shot of Monty Python and the Holy Grailinstantly establishes that it doesn’t take itself seriously at all. Following the absurd opening credits, we fade in on an English landscape draped in fog. The sounds of horses’ hooves galloping echoes through the frame. And then, King Arthur and Patsy ride through the foggy veil, but they’re not r...

    A lot of the gags in Monty Python and the Holy Grail are ripped straight from historical facts about the Middle Ages, but some of them are just straight-up absurdist comedy. For example, the three conjoined knights who live in the woods and identify themselves as “the knights who say ‘Ni!’” They then proceed to live up to that name by repeatedly sa...

    When King Arthur and his party arrive at a castle, some French soldiers taunt them and claim to have the Grail in their possession. After the soldiers catapult some farm animals at them, Bedevere has the bright idea to infiltrate the castle in a Trojan Rabbit. Unfortunately, the plan backfires when the French soldiers use their giant catapult to la...

    All the Pythons play a ton of different roles in Holy Grail, but John Cleese arguably has the most memorable, from Sir Lancelot to the taunting French soldier. One of those characters is an enchanter who identifies himself as Tim. The juxtaposition of a fantasy character with a mundane name like Tim is hilarious on its own.

    When Monty Python and the Holy Grailfirst hit theaters, Camelot had a place in the public consciousness due to the Broadway musical of the same name and the lavish Hollywood movie musical that was adapted from it. In Holy Grail, when King Arthur decides to head to Camelot, there’s a hilarious homage to the musical featuring all-singing, all-dancing...

    The Pythons aren’t particularly well-known for their dark humor, but when they have done sketches with a pitch-black comic sensibility, they’ve been incredible. There’s a prime example early in Monty Python and the Holy Grailwhen a corpse collector comes through a village saying, “Bring out your dead!” RELATED: 10 Wild Details Behind The Making Of ...

    Upon arrival at the cave that supposedly contains the written location of the Grail, King Arthur and his knights are confronted by the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog. At first, it just seems like a harmless rabbit, but the first knight who’s brave enough to face it gets viciously attacked in a cinematic display of bloodshed.

    Very few comedies ⁠— especially modern comedies ⁠— make full use of the capabilities of cinema. These days, comedies are just brightly lit, lightly edited improv shot with bland coverage. In Monty Python and the Holy Grail, film language itself is used to convey humor, like the repeated shots of Lancelot, really far away, running towards a castle g...

    There are a few scenes in Monty Python and the Holy Grailthat could be viewed on their own as standalone sketches and still work just as well. King Arthur’s sword fight with the Black Knight, played by John Cleese, is a perfect example. No matter how many of the Black Knight’s limbs Arthur lops off, he still claims he’s in fighting form and insists...
