Surely you can’t be serious. I am serious. And don’t call me Shirley.

Also same movie: Today I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Alternate challenge: Find a line of more than just a few words from Holy Grail that won't be recognized.

[–] generallynonsensical@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Don't even need a few words, "Elderberries".

Edited for clarity.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Still doesn't work. Elderberries are synonymous with the Holy Grail, at least in places where elderberries aren't common.

"What is your favorite color?" is the best I can do.

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Even this depends on diction.

"What is your favorite color?" - School teacher.

"WHAT- is your favorite color?" - Bridge Keeper

"Rosebud..."

You don't even have to have ever seen the movie to know it!

[–] JordanZ@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass…and I’m all out of bubblegum.

Fans of said movie will obviously know it but I think more people will recognize that line than actually know the movie it comes from.

"Klaatu barada nikto"
"Anál nathrach, orth’ bháis’s bethad, do chél dénmha"

The first one is a classic. The second one may not be as familiar but still is a great movie ;)
