Line 2:
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 "[[The Young Ones]]" Mayall, Matt "[[Little Britain]]" Lucas, Phil "[[Saturday Night Live]]" Cornwell, and Morwenna "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.
Line 53:
* [[The Unintelligible]] - Splag
* [[Unusual Euphemism]] - Lancelot's catchphrase "Oh Blow!" But Americans most likely see this [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|as something else....]]
* [[
* [[William Telling]] - King Arthur becomes the target for one of these in "The Ice Palace". He has to stand with an apple on his head and be shot at in turn by [[Robin Hood]], [[William Tell]] and Sir Maragaret.
* [[X Meets Y]] - Cake Entertainment (distributor of the series) described it as "Shrek meets Monty Python".
