Agreed. :rolleyes:

I second that. Relentless assault of hilarity from opening to closing credits.

This scene goes as follows (this off the top of my head)
"Tell me again Sir Bedever, how sheep's bladders can be deployed to help prevent earthquakes"
"Camelot!!!!" "Camelot!!" "Camelot!"
cue nights of camelot dancing and singing scene
"On second thought, maybe we shouldn't go to camelot, tis a silly place"

"She turned me into a newt!"
"A newt?"

"I got better..."

It has to be "on the list" for anyone who appreciates even the broadest definition of the genre of "comedy."
If you have zero appreciation for it, then you are likely a boring dolt, and if you worship it without reservation, then you are likely a tool.

All right! We'll call it a draw!

I would say "Black Knight" starring Martin Lawrence is far superior. Martin Lawrence plays a knight.............who is african american! What a world!!

all M. Python movies are incredible, but this one is the best for sure.
The only movie that competes with Holy Grail in my opinion for best comedy is Blazing Saddles.

Are u watching family guy? The reason I started this thread is b/c they made a monty python & holy grain reference. Then they made a Blazing Saddles reference in the same episode. I then remembered how excellent of a movie it is too

I saw that epi, also.
Pretty much anything Monty Python or Mel Brooks is solid gold.

I saw Mel Brooks' play "producers" or whatever in NYC about 6 years ago. Pretty much the most LMAOiest thing i'd ever witnessed.

I hate all of the Monty Python movies to death...

Over quoted by douche bags. We are all probably a little bit overwhelmed (or weirdly over-obsessed likely previously mentioned Monty Python-philes and Dane Cook lovers) with the saturation, but holy sh1t what a complete comedic performance. Has three comedic geniuses, well casted female lead and excellent cameos and minor characters. The dialogue is all unbelievably good without breaking the plot and the plot twists and diversions are all hilarious and somehow over-the-top yet never ruin the movie.
You could see things really coming together with Old School and you wonder what this movie might have been like if they had Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson as the co-stars. I don't think it works at all. Just a great script and great execution from everyone. Maybe if Vince had replaced Champ Kind as a fast talking neurotic?

There haven't been any really funny movies released since about 1989.

What's funny is I didn't like it at all the first time that I saw it.

Love, LOVE, LOVEMonty Python. The misistry of silly walks is pretty funny. Search for the holy grale is gold.

"How can you tell he is a king?"
"He hasn't got sh1t all over him."

This thread needs at least one Mel Brooks movie.

OK Cat and I agree on something.

Against it? I should be positively astounded to hear anything that could be said FOR it. Why the whole bloody place is the most unspeakable matriarchy in the whole history of civilization! Look at yourself! The way your wife and her strumpet of a mother push you through the hoop! As far as I can see, American men have been totally emasculated- they're like slaves! They die like flies from coronary thrombosis while their women sit under hairdryers eating chocolates & arranging for every 2nd Tuesday to be some sort of Mother's Day! And this infantile preoccupation with bosoms. In all time in this Godforsaken country, the one thing that has appalled me most of all this this prepostrous preoccupation with bosoms. Don't you realize they have become the dominant theme in American culture: in literature, advertising and all fields of entertainment and everything. I'll wager you anything you like that if American women stopped wearing brassieres, your whole national economy would collapse overnight.

Sorry bro, I missed your reference to Blazing Saddles.
-
Blazing Saddles? Ppppffffttt, its okay, only. Holy Grail is, well, the Holy Grail of comedy. "let me stay and face the peril" :tongue:

Monty Python has put out a couple thousand movies and skits. A couple are bound to be good. And that's about it.
-
I'll take Dumb and Dumber or Tommy Boy anyday....

Love Tommy Boy. The deer-in-the-car scene is pure gold.

Holy Grail is/was their first movie, and no, they've only put out 5 movies if I am remembering correctly. Their half hour series Monty Python Flying Circus lasted four seasons and 45 episodes, was and still is some of the funniest stuff ever. They simply changed the face of comedy, and most of the comedy you young fools like such as Dumb and Dumber comes directly from their influence.
The original group of Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin is still one of if not the most prolific grouping in humor history, only the cast of SNL's first two years or so could come close.

"Holy Grail" is classic. It's definately one of my top five.
"Clerks", however, is probably my favorite:
Blue Collar Man: Excuse me, I don't mean to interrupt, but, uh, what are you talking about?
Randal Graves: The ending of "Return of the Jedi".
Dante Hicks: My friend here's trying to convince me that any independent contractors who were working on the uncompleted Death Star were innocent victims when it was destroyed by the Rebels.

Yes, clerks and mallrats are fantastic.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but I question your movie pick as "greatest comedy movie ever." I'm a pretty movie-savvy person, and I've never heard of it.
Seinfeld is far better than Arrested Development, also. I would put Married with Children up there, too. Quality.

WHAS has Michael Showalter in it. He and Michael Ian Black and David Wain are in Stella - the short lived show on Comedy Central and Dlew12's favorite TV show evar.

I still haven't seen this. Really want to though, I hear good things.
Also, Old School....Happy Gilmore....Wedding Crashers. I like these. I know definately not GCOAT, but still very good.
