Monty Python and the Holy Grail/Funny
Short answer to Crowning Moment of Funny for MPatHG: EVERYTHING.
Long answer:
- The opening credits with inserted subtitles. With said subtitles in faux Swedish having nothing to do with the movie or the credits at all.
- "A moose once bit my sister"
- "Mind you, moose bites can be pretty nasty..."
- The producers halt the credits in order to get rid of the Swedish subtitles... only to have the second team of credit-makers still obsess over moose being in the film. THAT team gets sacked, with a third team of credit-makers hired on from some South American firm... that quickly inserts llamas into the credits. Somehow, this is ignored.
- "A moose once bit my sister"
- This troper will leave the next CMoF for the next poor fool...
- "I'm not dead!"
- "I feeeeel happy!"
