Bring us a shrubbery!

And now, for something completely different...

'Old Woman'
'Man'
'Man sorry, who lives in that castle'
'I'm thirty seven'
'What?'
'I'm thirty seven I'm not old'

I didn't know we had a king.  I thought we lived in an anarcho-syndicalist commune...

You're fooling yourself.  We're living in a dictatorship.  A self perpetuating Autocracy in which the working classes.. 

[Simaril]

Of course - it's obvious if you just see the violence inherent in the system!

[Dichotomy]

'The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.'

'Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.'

'BE QUIET'

'If I went round saying I was and emporer just because some moistened bint lobbed a scemitar at me they'd put me away'

[Simaril]

 


Can't believe it hasn't come up yet, but:

"Bring out your dead!"

[JHerne]

Ni! FTW

[Dichotomy]

What... is your name?
It is Arthur, King of the Britons.
What... is your quest?
To seek the Holy Grail.
What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
What do you mean? An African or European swallow?
 I... I don't know that.
EYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
How do know so much about swallows?
Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

Some folks just don't appreciate English humor...("Not that there's anything wrong with that...") However, there is a CLEAR line between "inspired silliness" and "STOOOpid."

Even if you don't like Python, you have to admit that no one will be quoting lines from "Dynamite" or, say, ANY Jack Black movie 30 years after they came out.

The fact that a significant portion of the population still giggles at "Bring out your dead!" and says "A mere flesh wound!" after getting shot down --- well, that kind of staying power means that there's SOMETHING there even if it's not to your taste.


And now, it's time for the Penguin on top of your television to explode.
