Not fair! Last time I exhibited the bleached bones of my slain enemies in my lair, I got arrested.

Seriously, what is that Film called? I have seen so many excerpts from it, but still dont know the name.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say Ni at will to old ladies.

Bring A shrubbery

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's one of the older LoTR cartoons

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

The Bashki cut, right?

[–] Johanno@feddit.org 9 points 1 month ago

If you take the German title "Ritter der Kokosnuss" and translate it back to english it is Knights of the the coconut.

Well because they use coconuts instead of horses....

You haven’t seen Montey Python and the Holy Grail?

Relax. We’ve only ever seen it in clips. Though it is obligatory to insult you in a terrible accent: You’re mother was a Hamster and your father smelled of elderberries!

(Seriously though, it was one of those movies that almost no one has watched, but has seen most of anyway.)

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How almost no one has watched it? In my bubble, almost everyone has seen it multiple times, often in cinema during rereleases - it's a cult classic!

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You know what makes a cult classic a cult classic, right? Very passionate but also niche fan bases.

It’s a great and iconic film, but most people have never actually seen it end to end.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

wait fuck i gotta add another cult to the list of cults i joined dammit

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There's a fair bit of humor you miss out on if you've only seen clips and memes. Most of my irl friends have seen it and blazing saddles, though that could be my fault...

[–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The ending is a real cop-out though

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Underrated comment.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

it took me years to get that, but i was like 8 i can be forgiven.

[–] lemmyng@piefed.ca 11 points 1 month ago

A møøse bit my sister once...

[–] Bo7a@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Everyone I have met who was worth talking to has seen and loved this movie. Am I old?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

it was a rite of passage when your parents finally thought you were old enough to watch Holy Grail

[–] finitebanjo@piefed.world 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If I were a bird that shit would work on me, ngl.

Not holding a huge fish, why bother?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't see a dog OR a hot dog, i don't see what he brings to the relationship

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago

Girls only care about one thing and that's pointless demonstration of power in pictures.

The Bowerbird’s Bower is not a nest or a home, think more like a box from which a potential mate will watch him do a little one man show. It’s a temporary display.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Me building a hand puppet set and bench to attract potential mates.

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 8 points 1 month ago

My "Hi!" comes after the planning phase, but I've been accused of not being spontaneous.

[–] nicky7@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago

This is my hole. It was made for me.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not nearly enough blue imo

[–] reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You probably already know this but for the others, different species of Bowerbirds have different color preferences! There is some speculation these preferences might relate to their own coloring. Also some speculation this might be due to regional traditions.

The Satin Bowerbird prefers blue, both the male and female have blue eyes and the male has that metallic black (almost blue-looking) feathering that some ravens have.

showing off my Lincoln Log cabin

Eh, girl, I arranged these sticks in the shape of a dwelling. Wanna fuck?

Are the straights alright? Why not just plan a date together?

[–] baggins@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] flora_explora@beehaw.org 2 points 1 month ago

It was more of a rhetorical question ;)

[–] scratchee@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

Hey now, we have an unfair disadvantage, all the nutters are lumped in with us and bringing the side down.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I gotta tame some of these to get ready for halloween
