Don't know if you noticed - they arrested the wrong people. The person that killed the historian is the only knight that was on a real horse.

The "Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!" line is actually an insult: he's insulting the mother's virtue by insinuating promiscuity by likening her to an animal like the hamster that breeds rapidly, and elderberries were used to make wine and other alcohol, so he's calling the father a drunk as well. It's actually rather clever haha

My 15yo son loves this movie so much, “your father smelled of elderberries” is his rebuttal to everything. I’m so proud. ❤️❤️

Entering the world of Monty Python is always a rite of passage. Congrats to you both.

One of the funniest things to me is the fact that they used coconuts because they couldn’t afford horses for the movie, but the guy that killed the historian was on a horse 😂

The intermission thing is because back in the day, they used to have a sizable break in the middle of the movie so people could get more snacks, visit the restroom etc. So they were actually trolling movie goers into standing up and then having to run back to their seats. Same with the subtitles.

This came out when I was 15. Very few Americans had heard of Monty Python then. I went to see it at the drive in with my brother and his wife. Of course, we were nicely toasted. We all missed so much of it, laughing and crying, that we went back the next night even though we were sore from it. Holy Grail was so popular that many local PBS stations started running the BBC series Monty Python's Flying Circus. Which many teenagers and young adults followed religiously. I'm in my mid 60s now and still love them.❤❤❤

The guys were notorious for not ending skits so with this being their first movie,they literally ended it with a "cop out". Also, the murderer couldn't have been any of the knights because he was the only one on a real horse.

You were correct that all the Monty Python guys played multiple characters. John Cleese was Lancelot, the Black Knight, the taunting French guy, the Wizard Tim, the guy the witch turned into a Newt (he got better) and a few more

"It's just a flesh wound" 😂😂😂😂 This movie is too damn good lmao I'm glad Bridget liked it

Nothing makes me happier than seeing my favorite reactors experience this masterpiece for the first time! Monty Python's Life of Brian is, if anything, even better, so highly recommend that too!!

I always love at the end to see how long reactors sit through the black screen with music playing, and that is how you troll the entire planet for an hour n half

Bridette’s witchy laugh and Cody’s giggle makes me so happy.

I really hope this becomes a regular routine. You gotta throw some classic comedy movies in the mix a couple times a month. I love it when you guys just get "silly" That's the great thing about the livestreams too. Look forward to some more classic comedies in the future. My favorite line from this movie is "I fart in your generally direction!"

There are some movies that are just absolute cornerstones of their genre. For comedies, this is the first that comes to mind, followed by Airplane! and Tropic Thunder. I'm absolutely convinced that at some point I saw a cut of the scene where a whole army appears out of nowhere and in this cut, after the army forms up Bedevere gives Arthur a puzzled look. Arthur shrugs and says "Well, I am a King, you know!" One day I will prove it's existence...

The dichotomy of releasing this the day after The Red Wedding is why I love you guys.

More Python, please! The meaning of life and the Life of Brian.

Glad you enjoyed it. "Life of Brian" and "The Meaning of Life" are just as good if not better.

This movie has been making me laugh for decades. And I am always so happy when people discover it and enjoy it the way it deserves to be enjoyed.

In interviews I have seen, Game of Thrones creators Dan and Dave have said how they were very, very aware of how close a lot of GoT gets to being Monty Python and they often had to dial things back to make sure they weren't crossing that line. Also, there's a scene in a Season 4 episode with a fun Monty Python easter egg...(I'll let you know after you've seen it.)

When the Wizard (John Cleese) was asked his name, the answer was supposed to this ridiculously long and complicated name. John forgot his line, so that's why there is such a long pause, and he just says Tim. The rest of the group kept their cool, and they didn't have the funds for another take, so they kept it in.

Can't wait to watch this after work, this movie is a classic! The Life of Brian is equally good, would love to see you two watch that one as well.

Monty Python's Flying Circus was on PBS at 10pm on Sunday nights in the NYC area starting around 1970. It was cutting edge humor way before it's time. Sort of an early version of SNL. But all short skits. The whole cast from the show was in this movie. I was 10 at the time and much too young to be watching it, but my MUCH older brother, he was about 28, would have me over his place to watch it with him and his wife. And I was hooked. So when this came out 5 years later of course my friends and I ran to see it. The movie is pretty much a much longer, one themed, version of the show. So we were not disappointed. The genius of this movie is that many of the historical things depicted as sill in this movie actually happened. During plague times, the had dudes with carts collecting the dead. Of course you know the witch stuffed happened. And the guy flogging himself was an actual religious cult that was part of Christianity. They were called self-flagellation and they did it to purge their sins. It was a very popular movement at one time.

A much needed palette cleanser after yesterday lol

My husband and I have been quoting this movie for 22 years since he had me watch it! LOL! Love it!

Bridegeco, Kevin, and Monty Python… thank you! Thank you for starting my Thursday on the best possible foot. 😆😂🤣

This is my favorite comedy of all time. I first saw this during a Midnight Show theaters used to have in the 70's and 80's. Having no idea who Monty Python was we walked into this show ultra baked and I have never laughed so hard before or since, the whole theater was in tears. So random, so witty, so relevant, so freakin' hilarious. Loving the new setup and vibe, this was like hanging out with friends.

I've heard that Tim was supposed to have a more thematically appropriate name, but John Cleese forgot in the moment, improvised, and they all just went with it because it was better than the script. Also the ending is great, a literal cop-out, though we can tell that they're innocent, the murderer had a horse instead of using coconuts.

Fun fact: The duck in the witch-burning scene is a reference to the Medieval practice of "ducking", i.e. immersing an alleged witch in water. If she floated, she was a witch. If she sank, she was innocent. A lose-lose.

Great reaction! In terms of more essential British comedy films (besides the other 3 Python ones), I would suggest: The Ladykillers, Withnail and i, and 4 Lions 👌 You also need to see Blackadder and Father Ted (if you haven't already)

Oh man, I can't remember when I've laughed so much! I've seen dozens of these Holy Grail reactions and yours is absolutely delightful! From your musical laughter to Kevin the dog, who I swear didn't even blink for the first half of the movie, the whole thing was a treat. Keeper! Please tell me you also did The Life Of Brian!

This is in my top 3 comedies, along with Blazing Saddles and Airplane. Another great Monty Python film is Life of Brian. And more great comedies in the same style: Young Frankenstein, Top Secret, The Kentucky Fried Movie, The Naked Gun films, the Hot Shots films, History of the World Part 1, Scary Movie 1-4 (the first one is a spoof of Scream)

I love the way "It's just a flesh wound" has become shorthand for "I'm fine, and I'm in complete denial about how bad my situation is!"

"There's the old man from scene 24" is one of my favorite lines in cinematic history.

"It's just a flesh wound." One of the most quoted lines in my house, I swear.

instant like n favorite for kevin alone; seeing yall experience this masterpiece is just a huge bonus 🤣

It's a joy watching people enjoy python for the first time

I remember seeing this in jolly old England at the cinema back in 1981 (I'm old!). This is the most British of all British comedies, and it's brilliant!

Watery tarts distributing swords seems like a better system than what we've got.

So glad you guys reacted to this. It’s one of my all time favorite movies

Back when I was around 12 years old PBS had The Muppet Show, The Goodies, then Monty Python’s Flying Circus on Friday nights. Holy Grail came on afterwards one night and instantly became a favorite with all of my friends. We quoted the hell out of it every time we played D&D. I base alot of my reaction channel subscriptions on how they do with this movie. You two were great! Subscribed!

Well now you gotta watch Monty Python - Life of Brian

the pair of you giggling is the best part of these reactions. you guys kill me.

Finally, someone reacts to the 'there was much rejoicing' gag. So many people just flat out miss that one. Fair play to you both

OMG watching Cody giggling at this movie restored my dead soul :D

The animation was a trademark of their tv series "Monty Python's Flying Circus", even if you can only find separate sketches of it will be worth it, absolutely brilliant.

The capital of Assyria tended to change. It had six different capital cities across its history.

Monty Python were the kings of absurdist comedy, from their sketch comedy TV show starting in the late 1960s to every one of the movies. Keep on watching! I love seeing people react to this movie, especially when it gets to the end, and everyone is like, "Uh, that's it? Seriously, is that it?"

33:15 The ending of the movie was the ultimate "Cop out"

Rarely, if ever, have I watched such fantastic, invested, hilarious reactions to my all-time favorite movie!! 😂😂 You guys did not let me down! I can't tell you how many times my friends and I quoted this movie, for years, and still do! Thank you for giving me such great laughs today!! 😊

When the guy gets shot by the arrow and says "message for you sir" is my text alert

This epic film was financed by some of the greatest musicians in rock history. George Harrison, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Genesis all chipped in to make this comedic masterpiece. 🐍 ✌🏼😎🇺🇸

I love how the entire time your dog is like, "What are these humans laughing about?"

I watched this movie first run in the theaters. Me and my buddies were huge python fans. There were about 7 of us that went. It was great. We still quote this movie to this day.

Monty proves a point with every counter point on matters both known and not known!making sense of their movies is a lost cause but very much liked!!

They actually did have a man with a cart calling bring out your dead during the plague. Great reaction!!

the ending was a literal cop out :D and the hamster bit was saying your mother sleeps with everyone and your father was a drunk :D

15:06 just spat my drink out at that impression of the Knight lmao "eyyyyy"

Monty Python hit our shores in my teen years and between that series the first few seasons of SNL , Dave Allen at large and Benny Hill , me and my comedic minded friends had it made, I don’t think any of us answered our home phones without an exaggerated English accent until the 80s, thanks Y’all!

Here, have a little more trivia: John Young played two characters (both of whom get killed). He was the old man who John Cleese carried out to the cart who's "not quite dead" and the famous historian killed by the knight riding _the only horse_ in the movie. The photograph of Sir Not-Appearing-in-this-Film was that of Michael Palin's son, William. The page turning hand in the first part of the movie belonged to Maggie Weston, Terry Gilliam's wife. Terry was the gorilla hand that pulled the other one away from the book. They've been married since 1973. Neil Innes composed many songs used by the Pythons and appeared in this movie as both Robin's lead minstrel and as the serf who got crushed by the Trojan Rabbit.

You missed a funny moment… “I FART IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION!”

In an original draft for the film, they ended the movie by finding the grail in the Grail department at Harrods department store. This is, of course, because you can find anything at Harrod’s. But, because they were running out of money, they ended with a literal cop out.

The prisoner clapping to the music in the dungeon gets me every time 😂😂

I love that this movie ends with a literal cop-out

I love seeing these 1st time reactions to the Monty python films so funny

If you mean the monks, they're chanting “Pie Iesu Domine, dona eis requiem,” which means “Merciful (well, literally 'all-pitying') Lord Jesus, grant them rest.” It's from the “Dies irae” medieval Latin text which describes the Day of Judgement. The band Blind Guardian used that as intro for their Album "Follow the Blind" :D

The Life of Brian

I remember watching this for the first time I almost died laughing when the poor bastard hanging in the dungeon clapping along to the wedding dance party upstairs 😂❤

I'm French , and the asshole on the wall is exactly like i imagine everyone see us, that's just perfect lmao

Butt trumpets were a real thing drawn in the the margins of mideaval texts.

Terry Jones was an expert of medieval and ancient history. For example, the helmet Sir Bedevere wears - as silly at as looks like - is historically accurate!

"Did they just phonetically pronounce knights?" Holy shit, i never could figure out that joke!!!

I have never seen a couple more perfectly matched than the two of you!! I love watching you guys!! Keep the great reactions coming!!

One of my top 5 movies. Went to Scotland last year and visited Doune castle. It was magical ❤

Coconuts DO migrate! they've been found floating as far north as Norway.

Loved watching your reactions to this. 🙂

Things you might have missed There were no credits at the end because they were all sacked in the beginning The knights were framed as the knight who killed the historian was on a real horse THere are 3 times in the movie that a women is beating a cat. And as I am sure someone has mentioned, the end is a total cop out Many other details but those are the ones most people don't think about.

as a proud owner of "The album to the sound track of the trailer to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, executive edition" I can still recall this film nearly word for word.

0:52 Bo Bo said "Ni" 11:08 the guy who says It's only a model is Terry Gilliam He's responsible for the model work and the cartoons. So he should know. 16:10 brave sir Robbin's coat of arms on the shield is a chicken

In Spamalot, the musical based on this movie, in the song “Brave Sir Robin” they sing that his penis was split. Just in case you were wondering what happened to his penis. 😂

you guys should totally react to Monty python's the life of brian as well as the flying circus

Your outro, with the extraverted skeleton and "The Girl From Ipanema" playing, was the icing on the cake for a most excellent response! I fear it wasn't a good movie for Kevin, but otherwise it seemed to fire on all cylinders. Bravo!

I always enjoy when people had such a good laugh for my all-time favourite movie!

I saw a group cosplay where they had all the major characters they had someone as The squire with the coconuts so everytime King Arthur walked he would collect the coconuts they even had the Black Knight pushing in a wheelchair with no arms and legs it was awesome

the castle that was used to film the taunting french guards was also used for winterfell in game of thrones too

Is still by far my favorite movie of all time... i even went out of my way, to get an anniversary blueray of the movie that came in a castle box, with a attachable catapult on the back to fling 5 small rubber animal toys lmao. Its jus so good and always recommend this movie to everyone

2:32 "Okay, it's just fucking with us, I'm 90% sure it's still just fucking with us" Oh good, you got the premise of the movie right away! :D

"I don't remember a Moose in this" So the movie has been seen by you before?

The man who killed the "famous historian" was the only person riding a horse this entire movie. That always cracked me up😂

Loved you guys giggling all the way through this. Great reaction

Monty python is a comedy troup of only 6 guys. before this movie they were famous through their skit show Monty Python’s Flying Circus. The rest of the characters in this movie that aren’t them are played by friends, family members, and acting students from a school one of them taught at.

The reference to the holy hand grenade,...... Was also used in the. "Duke nuke em"..... Video games on playstation.

For a movie made on a shoestring budget, mostly financed by rock stars, they managed to pull of an epic fucking piece of cinematic history Students of comical genius need to study this for the foreseeable future.

In the opening scene that was a person wrapped in that wheel. It was called a Catherine Wheel or Breaking Wheel. As to the monks bonking themselves on the head with the boards. It is a nod to ancient orders of monks who would whip themselves bloody to atone for their sins or that suffering makes you stronger or some such shit.

Sending love from London; appreciate you guys. Your channel is really awesome ❤

You guys have the chillest dog ever :)

You should really check out the rest of the Monty Python movies and Terry Gilliam's other movies too: Life of Brian (Monty Python) The Meaning of Life (Monty Python) (also Directed by Terry Gilliam) Time Bandits Brazil The Adventures of Baron Munchausen 12 Monkeys Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas The Brothers Grimm The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (Heath Ledgers final and second best movie) The Man Who Killed Don Quixote

"A Fish Called Wanda", must see comedy from the 80's. A couple of the Monty Python guys are in it as well, but Kevin Kline steals it. "This Is Spinal Tap", another comedy recommendation.

I guess you could say that ending was a real..............*puts on sunglasses* Cop out. *YYyyeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!*

You guys could watch Leslie Nielsen movies, like Airplane, Naked Gun, Spy Hard, etc. He has a bunch. Adam Sandler has a ton of fun comedys, like Water Boy, Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, etc. Also "Jane Austen's Mafia!" is one that many people haven't seen, it's kinda like Airplane but makes fun of mafia movies.
