Is this shit supposed to be funny? Seems like the British version of LOL SO RANDUM. There's absolutely no wit about any of the jokes that brits love to boast about. It's just fucking awful and as bad as FR3D
whatever man youre super patrician. is that what you want to hear? its enjoyable and funny with plenty of clever and funny bits. every joke in the movie doesnt need to be clever for the movie to still be clever
First off, it was made in the 1970s, when non sequitur humor was fresh and new instead of worn out by 13 year olds.
Secondly, even watching it in the time of LOLRANDUM, there's actual wit in those non-sequiturs, in terms of historical parody and style.

Eh wouldn't treat Holy Grail as being "historical"
Life of Brian on the other hand was pretty accurate in how it portrayed early first century Judea as being in the grips of Messianic and religious frezny

You've made this thread before.

I like to think of it as the world's oldest youtube comedy video.
>>63151061
I haven't actually. guess some people are of the same opinion

I was more thinking historical in terms of historical myth, as there are a lot of pretty clever digs at the Arthurian archetype riddled throughout. It was also one of the first pieces of popular media to show the middle ages as a shit-covered wasteland - which is itself the product of Renaissance-era myth, but which is also honestly pretty funny, so I can give it a pass
Life of Brian is definitely superior both as current satire and historical parody but both are pretty great

Depends on what you mean by popular, but The Seventh Seal and Andrei Rublev predate Holy Grail
>>63151258
Well he did say one of the first, and those two examples can hardly be considered mainstream, at least in the aspect of shaping the public's image of the middle ages.

Always one of my favourite parts.

Two facts:
1) Anyone who finds it funny sucks
2) Anyone who doesn't find it funny sucks

Pretty much already said what I was gonna say, but yeah. I don't doubt that the Pythons were aware of both films as well as those old Renaissance archetypes and applied them in a way that made them more broadly palatable and funny.

I made a similar thread a year or two ago, I got some pretty well thought-out replies. I particularly remember one about how it isn't just "lol random spork" and there's genuine wit behind the wackiness, like >>63150728 said.
Since then I've watched more Monty Python and it's hilarious.

don't worry I'm British and I fucking hate it
I simply do not understand the hype for this film, and why even normies love it. Same goes for shaun of the dead

Triggered.
It was funny when I saw it for the first time as a preteen.
At this point, I really only enjoy it out of nostalgia.
