When I was growing up in Buffalo, cable TV and HBO was just starting. HBO was free for the summer. They didn’t have much content (and it wasn’t a streaming service) but they showed The Holy Grail a few times a day. I must have watched it a hundred times.

At Mass during Holy Week, there was a long Latin chant. At a pause, one of my boys hit his head with the book. I couldn’t stop laughing!

It is a classic comedy movie. Along the line of Caddyshack, Young Frankenstein and Blazzing Saddles.
All of us could quote multiple lines from Monty Python and the Holy Grail because it was genuinely FUNNY.
Whether it is “bring out your dead”, “she turned me into a newt”, “I got better”, “what is the velocity of a laden sparrow”, “I’m being oppressed” , etc.

No different than if anyone posts something about BRAINS, someone will post “Abby Something” in reference to Igor’s response from Young Frankenstein.

The thing is they just can not make movies like this anymore in the politically correct Hollywood.
