** One last note, because the credit-makers were all sacked the ending credits ''[[BrickJoke don't exist]]''.

-->'''Launcelot''': Oh come on!

** After being put to Bedevere's test -- which is weighing her against a duck, because [[InsaneTrollLogic if witches float, they must be made of wood; wood and ducks both float, and so must weigh the same]] -- and failing -- [[KangarooCourt thanks to a hilariously off-balance scale]] -- the "witch" grumbles:

--> '''Herbert's Father''': [''continuing from the above quote''] We are here today to witness the union of two young people in the joyful bond of the holy wedlock. Unfortunately, one of them, my son Herbert, has just fallen to his death. [''The crowd gasps in dismay''] But I don't want to think I've not lost a son, so much as... gained a daughter! [''The crowd applauses''] For, since the tragic death of her father--
--> '''Guest #2''': He's not quite dead!
--> '''Herbert's Father''': Since the...near fatal ''wounding'' of her father--
--> '''Guest #2''': He's getting better!
--> [''Herbert's father frowns and glances at one of his guards, nodding meaningfully to the recovering bride's father'']
--> '''Herbert's Father''': [''speaking while intently watching the guard advance, pacing his speech with the guard's progress''] For, since her own father...who, when he seemed about to recover...suddenly felt the icy hand of death upon him...

** The opening film as well. Back when the movie was first released, it was a fairly common mistake by the cinemas to put in the wrong film and roll it anyway, since the audience had paid to see a movie. Here came this film that ''did it on purpose'' and people found it hilarious.

'''''THE WHOLE MOVIE'''''.
