'''''King Arthur's Disasters''''' (2005-2006) is a British cartoon about King Arthur but having ''very'' little to do with actual [[King Arthur|Arthurian Legend]], it features the voices of [[Rik "Mayall]] (''[[The Young Ones]]" Mayall''), Matt "Lucas (''[[Little Britain]]" Lucas''), Phil "Cornwell (''[[Saturday Night Live]]" Cornwell''), and Morwenna "Banks (''[[Reeves and Mortimer" Banks]]''). It airs on children's channel C[[ITV]] and [[Nickelodeon]] UK.
 
King Arthur loves Princess Guinevere, unfortunately she's a [[Rich Bitch]]/[[Upperclass Twit]] and he's a complete ''moron'' (in fact no one in this show is very bright). His attempts to woo her (usually by being sent on some deadly [[Fetch Quest]] by her) are aided by Merlin, a nervous wizard who [[Only Sane Man|tries in vain]] to stop Arthur from going through with these promises. Arthur is opposed by two wayward Knights, Lancelot and Martyn and [[The Ditz|eternally cheerful but dim]] [[Robin Hood]] and his ever suffering Merry Men and Women (well, Woman).
 
Of course even if Arthur gets the item Guinevere requested [[Failure Is the Only Option|she never returns his affections]]. The show is [[Strictly Formula]] but the gags are good enough to maintain it anyway.
