Monty Python and the Holy Grail Funko Pop! Vinyl Action Figures Smell of Elderberries

Posted on by

Of all the ’80s comedy movies that I watched growing up, Monty Python and the Holy Grail was my favorite. I watched that flick every night for about a month one summer and spent lots of time running around the house speaking in a British accent threatening to fart in people’s general direction. Any time a friend punched me or I got hurt was “just a flesh wound.”

Python fans will want to get their hands on these Pop! Vinyl action figures. You can get the Black Knight, who will bite you to death. Good ‘ole Tim the Enchanter is there, but lacks his Holy Hand Grenade. He does come with that beastly rabbit it seems. The French Taunter says your mother was a hamster, and King Arthur is there ready to hack off limbs and such.

Sadly, they lack some of my favorite characters like Brave Sir Robin (who ran away) or the Knights who say “Ni.” Each of the figures will set you back $9.99 at ThinkGeek and highlight the violence inherent in the system.

Thou Shalt Bring us a Shrubbery T-Shirt

Posted on by

One of my all time favorite movies is the Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Growing up, we had a very early pay TV service that played one or two movies per month between 7 and 10pm each night and for a month straight all they seemed to play was that film.

I could quote Python from a very early age and used it to enrage my brother. My parents hated it. In two terrible British accents I would say “There’s he is!”, “What, behind the rabbit?!?!” “It IS the rabbit!” One of my favorite parts of the movie is the Knights Who say Ni.

Should you ever run across the knights and need some tips on exactly what constitutes a quite nice shrubbery, the Haynes manual is what you need. Granted this isn’t an actual manual, it’s more a shirt with a picture of the manual.

Still, you could always just buy the shirt and take a different road on your quest for the cup. You can buy one at ThinkGeek for $19.99(USD).

Monty Python’s King Arthur on a Unicycle with Flaming Bagpipes…YES!

Posted on by

If you have never watched the classic film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, you all need a spanking. You can never know the violence inherent in the system if you have never watched this film. One of my favorite things about the film is that the actors rode around on fake horses whilst a squire clapped two coconut shells together for sound effects.

Recently a Portland-based (of course) dude named Brian Kidd, known as the Unpiper, rode a unicycle around while playing Monty Python music on bagpipes that shoot flames. It is as awesome as it sounds.

Check out the video above to see the coconut shell clapping, flaming glory that is Monty Python. Now I have to watch Holy Grail immediately.
