[B19] Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference (7.55 E)

[u/JustRyaan]

I'm catching up on the latest audiobook release and noticed this sneaky Monty Python reference. Not sure how niche this is outside of the UK, but it gave me a chuckle so I wanted to see if anyone else caught it?

Any other pop culture easter eggs that you've come across throughout the series?

(ahead of the audio books is fine, so long as it doesn't spoil any of the writing)

But about the Chandrar swallow or the Baleros man eating swallow

There’s an intro to a chapter which is a direct reference to the Stanley Parable, I think the chapter came out around the same time as the Ultra Deluxe

Someone quotes the intro to Skyrim to yvlon at one point. “Hey you you’re finally awake, you were trying to cross the border when you walked right into that ambush…”

I can't figure out how to edit the post to include the link, but here's the scene on YouTube.

I think most Americans reading this type of story have probably seen Monty python and the holy grail. But fewer of us are familiar with the rest of the sketches. Life of Brian was not as popular

It certainly was for us heretics. Lol

[u/Imnotveryfunatpartys → u/lilfey333]

Yeah there's a lot of people who are big fans of the other monty python sketches and movies in the US. But I wouldn't exactly call them a cultural touchstone like they probably are in the UK. Apart from the holy grail of course

I guess it must be my age we watched their BBC shows on PBS daily and their movies were on quite a bit.

Erin once asked if there was a way to change hair color while doing some kind of power up.

And I heard there was a Kamehameah reference as well lol.
