Monty Python entered our lives suddenly, with a giggle.
Just saying Monty Python makes me giggle.
Basically, the cast of Monty Python is so talented that a single word could send them off. Who can ever forever forget "Spam"?
But, today, I will remember "The Holy Grail". It is simply too convoluted to give an accurate synopsis. It is Camelot without horses, without competency in an way shape or form. Unimpressed with the French soldiers in the Keep. "Ni?"
The knight of the "Ni" (nee) knights states they "keepers of the sacred words 'Ni', 'Peng', and 'Neee-Wom" To pass they must pay a tribute of shrubbery. And so goes the rest of this incredibly stupid and funny movie. There is a monster to defeat, the rabbit of Caerchannog.
I understand that this is a private passion, and not many readers have a clue about my enjoyment of such simple pleasure. I have always been feisty, you know.
That's the way I roll.
Monty Python was marvellous. The first time (of many) that I saw the Holy Grail when I came home from the cinema the people next door had acquired a HUGE bunny. Which made me uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteMonty Python is a once in a lifetime experience, Susan. Thanks for sharing some famous clips.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
I had no idea the joys of Monty Python until some channel or other started repeating them. I don't remember when this was. It's been at least 20 years, probably. (Maybe less. Memory's murky.) Then I got the whole gamut, and I've been a fan ever since. (Except for Meaning of Life. I can't abide Meaning of Life.)
ReplyDeleteNot a private passion but one shared with many, at least me. I love all the Python movies. All the old TV shows. All the songs. They were so very clever! Thanks for showing the clips -- it's a good way to start my day.
ReplyDeleteSilly songs and silly movies are my passion. We all need to laugh more.
