Ridiculously Funny Movie - MFisher
This movie is super funny! I would say that it is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen! There are so many moments that just stick in your head and you repeat over and over again. For example, the part with the "Shrubbery". Anyways the plot is somewhat ridiculous however it is so funny and well worth a watch!Holy Goodness! - movie_goer
Holy Grail earned the title of classic comedy at its best!
My Deepest regret was never seeing Monty Python until I was in my mid- 20's. Holy Grail was ambitious, Hilarious, and Ingenious!
The script mastered a perfect combination of Historical Events with King Arthur and his silly combusted quest for wealth and power, with of coarse some classic sketches that will have you on the floor laughing hysterically.British comedy at its best - Lone_Wolf
Many people bring up The Holy Grail when the discussion of 'best comedy ever' comes up, and with good reason as the movie happens to be one of the best comedies ever made. It is self aware, disjointed, takes place both in medieval Britain and modern day Britain at the same time, and is composed of ridiculously film making. Did I also mention it is a masterpiece? Yes, all of these seemingly debilitating traits actually make Holy Grail what it is! It is essentially a series of loosely connected scenes of pure hilarity. The movie and plot are more or less vehicles which lend themselves to deliver these brilliant comedy scenes. So many of them too! My favorites are likely The Black Knight (a given), the conversation with the guards ("Stay here and don't let anyone leave."), the part where the knight is charging from a huge distance and then he suddenly the editor made him appear (hard to explain, you have to see it), the killer rabbit, and perhaps the bridge where they had to answer three questions.
These are just the ones I can name off the top of my head! There are really many, many more, and they all are just so funny. I actually found myself wondering how the movie ended up with so much bloody material, as it has enough to supply a hundred comedies (as most comedies these days consist of one or two laughs which are given away in the trailer). However, I did feel the scenes which employed animation took away from the movie for some reason. I can't really pin point why, but I really wish they weren't there. I also felt it was just a bit short. But besides this, everything else was prime. Holy Grail is both a classic and a comic masterpiece, as it is stuffed to the point of exploding with classic and memorable scenes, lines and characters. All this coming from a guy who is notorious for his dislike of comedies!
