History YMMV / YourHighness

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: This may have been a paycheck gig for Natalie Portman, but her BloodKnight scenes are incredibly funny because she plays the whole thing absolutely straight.
** Charles Dance delivers his lines with all the gravitas and dignity of [[Series/GameOfThrones Tywin Lannister]].

* HilariousInHindsight: When Fabious wants to spend some quality time with his brother Thadeous, who brushes him off with a "no I do not want to be gay with you." Both actors (James Franco and Danny [=McBride=]) finally wind up in [[Film/AlienCovenant another movie much]] later, [[spoiler:but Franco's character doesn't even survive.]]

* WTHCastingAgency: Creator/JamesFranco, Creator/NataliePortman and Creator/ZooeyDeschanel have this trope covered over several demographics. The trailer for the movie even {{lampshade|Hanging}}d this for the former two by mention being an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward nominee and winner respectively.

* DesignatedHero: Thadeous. Other than [[spoiler:find the sword and immediately murder an apparently still horny but otherwise pacified Minotaur with it]], he does nothing of importance and screws up things a few times. Even his assistant is more skilled than him. Of course, this is part of the joke. He's a big, fat fuck-up who does absolutely nothing of note but we root for him anyways because Fabious comes off as a little annoying.

** For film nerds, director David Gordon Green, mostly notable for his sensitive award-winning indie dramas, fills this role behind the camera.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: It was a medieval comedy about two knights who get stoned. The title also put people off with its drug reference. It had many references to 80's swords and sorcery films that the younger generation didn't get. The bad reviews and trailers that featured the movie's bad English accents and unfunny jokes didn't help either.

* BloodyHilarious: The gore is so excessive (and blatantly CGI, through the CGI itself actually looks very impressive) that it's often really funny.

* HilariousInHindsight: When Fabious wants to spend some quality time with his brother Thadeous, who brushes him off with a "no I do not want to be gay with you." Both actors (James Franco and Danny [=McBride=]) finally wind up in [[Film/AlienCovenant a much better movie]] later, [[spoiler:but Franco's character doesn't even survive.]]

* SpiritualAdaptation: This film is the closest we will likely see to ''{{Oglaf}}'' getting a live-action adaptation.

* BloodyHilarious: The gore is so excessive (and blatantly CGI) that it's often really funny.
** And speaking of CGI, the film actually looks very impressive. Yes, 90% of what you see is really just CGI, but it's made on a very high level for "just a comedy/spoof".
* CrossesTheLineTwice: What's worse than a Minotaur's erect penis? A Minotaur's ''severed'' penis being worn as a necklace.
** What's worse than that? The DamselInDistress trying to stick it in her mouth when the hero arrives to save her, because she's been hypnotized in order to rape her.

* IncestYayShipping: Fabious is in love with Thadeous. There's nothing even subtle about it. The fact none of the characters acknowledge it is actually part of the joke.
