When I was in 7th grade (age 12/13), our new history teacher was a 'cool' teacher, a recent college grade who shorts and sandals to class. During the medieval section he showed us this title. I've been quoting it since -- along with Life of Brian, though it's not as mineable.
I'm still amazed that the BBC(!) essentially gave the Monty Python team permission to make whatever they wanted to...and then *broadcast* it!! Some of it was hit/miss but when they HIT... OMG was it funny. Totally weird for the time but often hilarious.
Oh, I can imagine! [lol] I'm not sure that anything they did made sense 100% of the time. At least it never did to me. I think it probably made the Python team laugh and any laughs anywhere else was a bonus.

We used to quote this movie quite a LOT at Uni... [grin]

A friend of mine was bewildered by it, especially the lecturerer being mowed down by rampaging knight -- and the mass arrest scene at the beach!
