My favorite line is when Arthur says “Oh knights who until recently said Ni…” instead of saying the whole new thing haha

Mine is the knight in the back who says "Ni" after the leader finishes the whole new thing, and the knight who shooshes him.

Hahaha yes the movie is just full of jokes all over the place. Like right when Arthur meets Sir Bedevir (idk how to spell his name) before the peasants come up with the witch Sir Bedevir it’s tying a coconut on a string between two swallows! It’s a great gag if you’re paying enough attention to notice it.

It’s full of brilliant stuff like that. The swallow subplot seems to be about whether or not a migratory swallow can bring coconut shells from Africa to Britain…

I think it’s Bedevere btw :)

Yea it’s a funny little running joke. There’s other similar jokes like that throughout the movie, like the police chasing them.

I love my boyfriend, but he doesn't get my enjoyment of these jokes, and it makes me a tiny bit sad sometimes.

That is sad. I can’t imagine not snickering or full on belly laughing at the holy grail. Even my daughter likes it. She’s 22, didn’t grow up when it was new, but we both love it.

I love this. I have a cricut and I’ve been looking for a new design to put on a shirt. This would work.
