Video of the day -- king Arthur and the French castle


From Monty Python's golden age.  A classic, and still funny.

BEST dialog, EVER!
----------------------------------------
King Arthur: I am your king.
Woman: Well, I didn't vote for you.
King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.
Woman: Well how'd you become king then?
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.
Dennis: Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

"I fart in your general direction" can still crack me up every time.

This movie was hilarious. I don't think it could be made nowadays -- too much fretting about offending somebody.
