History YMMV / MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment:

** Deadliest Warrior: The Game released in 2010 for XBox Live and Playstation Network had two Achievements (XBLA) or Trophies (PSN). One require the gamer, mostly often the Pirate since he has bombs, to blow off the limbs of a knight to earn the '''Black Knight''', while the other required a win with at least one limb missing called '''Just a Fresh Wound'''.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: The Black Knight

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHDycUXzNs0 Its main theme]].

* HilariousInHindsight: The Black Knight and Lancelot is played by the same person (Creator/JohnCleese). And then, [[spoiler:in ''FateZero''... Lancelot IS Black Knight/Berserker.]]

* AcceptableTargets: The French, naturally. It's a British film. Why else would they have that ''outrageous'' accent?
** To say nothing of BLOODY PEASANTS.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The "Camelot" song. 'Tis a silly place, indeed.

*** Not to mention the opening credits' moose dialogue at the bottom.
** And the Sun and clouds jumping up and down, causing an earthquake.
* CrossesTheLineTwice: The Black Knight getting dismembered.
** John Cleese admitted as much in his commentary track. He explained that some viewers in America found the sequence horrifying because of [[TooSoon Vietnam War footage on the news]]; however, he noted that they began to laugh when BK's first leg got hacked off and he was still raring to go.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: The King Arthur/Black Knight duel and the Bridge of Death.
** And the HolyHandGrenade of Antioch, and the French launching the wooden animals at that same servant, and you know what? It's a Monty Python movie, the whole thing is an extended [=CMoF=].

* MemeticMutation: The film is the source of too much of this to count. Check them out [[Memes/MontyPython here]]. More accurately, every single line in the movie seems to have become a meme.
** In fact, it's a FountainOfMemes.
* PainfulRhyme: The "Camelot" song is built around these, and it's even lampshaded:
-->''We're Knights of the Round Table, our shows are for-mid-able\\
But many times, we're given rhymes that are quite un-sing-able...''

* TheWeirdAlEffect: It can be very hard to take Arthurian legend seriously after seeing this movie. There have also been reports of audiences bursting into laughter during violent sequences in movies like ''{{Film/Excalibur}}''.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: After the Black Knight tries to attack King Arthur despite having his legs cut off, Arthus just says "What are you going to do, bleed on me?" This line is a lot less funny since HIV/AIDS was discovered.

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: The best jokes from this movie have been memes for so long and are so familiar by now that it might not be clear why they were ever really funny in context.

* AcceptableTargets: the French.
