listen, strange women lyin in ponds and distributin swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcicial aquatic ceremony/

[–]freerider 220 points221 points ago

Be quiet!

[–]likeBruceSpringsteen 231 points232 points ago

I mean, you can't expect to wield SUPREME executive power, just cause some watery tart, threw a sword at you!

Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bink lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

[–]Johnofthewest 22 points23 points ago

I believe it is bint rather than bink.

[–]oatwife 2 points3 points ago

It always sounded like "bink" to me. TIL

[–]Mitoni 1 point2 points ago

Correct. Bint is most often used in Arabian horse names, as it is Arabic for daughter, but it is also referring to a girl or woman in a derogatory manner.

More of the socialist agenda trying to undermine our freedom. First it was gun control, now it's sword control. Stop trying to undermine my sword liberty communist.

[–]spekter299 92 points93 points ago

King eh? Well I didn't vote for you.

[–]fireman007 57 points58 points ago

You dont vote for a king.

[–]BradC 54 points55 points ago

Well how'd you become King then?

[–]eojhet 56 points57 points ago

The lady of the lake, clad in the most shimmering of samite extended onto me Excalibur.

[–]mollaby38 1 point2 points ago

Oh no! Now I'm trapped in Monty Python clips on Youtube. What have the Roman's ever done for us? Are you here for the 5 minute or the half-hour? That is an ex-parrot! HELP ME!!

[–]discoafroman 76 points77 points ago

This is all I've ever wished for.... More Monty Python references. Good job boys.

[–]pseudolobster 49 points50 points ago

And so they were forced to eat Sir Robin's minstrels.

And there was much rejoicing.

Yay.

[–]respondwithlyrics 14 points15 points ago

Brave Sir Robin ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.

[–]Captaincrab1685 5 points6 points ago

Yes brave Sir Robin Turned about,and gallantly he chickened out Bravely taking to his feet He beat a very brave retreat Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin.

[–]jook11 6 points7 points ago

I feel like the "yay" should be in parentheses...

[–]clerveu 17 points18 points ago

♫yaaay♫

[–]jook11 5 points6 points ago

I'll allow it.

[–]FellerFeller 15 points16 points ago

This has actually made me realize how surprisingly few MP references we normally see here.

[–]Mongoose42 16 points17 points ago

Python references need to be few are far between. Not because they're bad, hell no, but because if we want to stay true to the spirit of the source material then we need to be taken completely by surprise when they pop up. It's best to go into a thread and not expect some kind of Spanish Inquisition.

[–]SegamanXero 9 points10 points ago

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!!!!

Our chief weapon is surprise, And fear. Our two weapons are fear and surprise and ruthless efficiency... Our THREE weapons are fear and surprise, and ruthless efficiency, and almost fanatical devotion to the pope. Our FOUR, no wait... Amongst our weapons... Amongst our weaponry are, such elements as fear....

Ill just come in again...

[–]mccscott 6 points7 points ago

Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition.

[–]Mongoose42 2 points3 points ago

Precisely my point.

[–]DingleberrySprinkles 0 points1 point ago

Hey, I saw that movie a few times too! I get these quotes you're all sayin'. I would even drop a few here for some karma myself, but I'm afraid I'm not that original.

[–]SychoTKT 58 points59 points ago

And everyone's protest signs shall read, "Help! Help! I'm being repressed!!"

[–]jook11 17 points18 points ago

Come and see the violence inherent in the system!

...strangely appropriate.

[–]IsReallyAwesome 1 point2 points ago

What is everyone talking about?

[–]mccscott 2 points3 points ago

Basically; If she weighs more than a duck,and since wood also floats like a duck,than she is made of wood and therefore...a witch.

[–]scarysquash 3 points4 points ago

Who are you to be so wise with the ways of science?

[–]mccscott 4 points5 points ago

THEY CALL ME....Tim.

[–]IsReallyAwesome 1 point2 points ago

Thanks. That clears it up.

[–]mccscott 1 point2 points ago

Here.I'd recommend "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" as a jumping off point.Or maybe this www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vuW6tQ0218

[–]DM818 2 points3 points ago

Or ministry of silly walks.

[–]mccscott 1 point2 points ago

THIS..that..the other thing.

[–]RupeThereItIs 0 points1 point ago

The change seems to be damaging the monitor, does that means it's working?

[–]kettish 0 points1 point ago

Yes. If your products do not arrive in 3-5 business days, you'll have to try again, this time sliding your card in a downward motion in the cracks in the screen. It may take a couple of tries to find the right crack.

[–]Vgore762 6 points7 points ago

You watery tart.

[–]Alex4G123 17 points18 points ago

Just because some tart lobs a scimitar at you doesn't make you president.

[–]PhiladelphiaIrish 25 points26 points ago

This is why I love reddit. I have found my people. sniff

[–]scarysquash 5 points6 points ago

"And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths, and carp and anchovies, and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit-bats and large chu..." - Armaments, chapter two, verses nine through twenty-one.

[–]Ommec 9 points10 points ago

something about a watery tart throwing a scimitar. It's been too long, haha.

[–]ramilehti 15 points16 points ago

A moistened bint even.

[–]Captain-Obvious- 17 points18 points ago

Hey, that was a Monty Python reference.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

I could honestly quote this movie all evening. It's pure genius, as is everything else Monty Python ever wrote.

While I'm here, I may as well share one of my favourite sketches.

[–]NotARandomNumber 4 points5 points ago

You know, I'm amazed that the top quote isn't just the first line of the film and then every subsequent reply is the next line of dialogue.

[–]NonSequiturEdit 6 points7 points ago

We'll get it right some day, I know we will. A moose bit my sister once.

[–]ItWasTheButterfly 3 points4 points ago

No realli! She was Karving her initials on the moose with the sharpened end of an interspace toothbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian movies: "The Hot Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Molars of Horst Nordfink"...

[–]obscurePythonquote 4 points5 points ago

Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bink lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!- Dennis

[–]Dubbs330 4 points5 points ago

Supreme executive power is derived from the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony. You can't expect to wield supreme executive power because some watery tart threw a sword at you.

[–]themirthfulswami 2 points3 points ago

yes but if this ticket wins, how long until we see the violence inherent in the system?

[–]douchetag 6 points7 points ago

Fuck. I came here to make a Monty Python reference and they were already all here.

[–]Aavagadrro 4 points5 points ago

But you could still have an unladen swallow.

[–]k11235 2 points3 points ago

Ah un cadeau!!

[–]mccscott 2 points3 points ago

African or European? (I'm picky..)

[–]Aavagadrro 2 points3 points ago

I dont know that!

[–]ubermechspaceman 2 points3 points ago

How do know so much about swallows?

Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

[–]Aavagadrro 1 point2 points ago

Swallows are my favorite thing. I also like women who weigh as much as a duck, since we cant build a bridge out of them.

[–]NonSequiturEdit 1 point2 points ago

Spam spam spam spam.

[–]ItWasTheButterfly 1 point2 points ago

Well there's the spam eggs sausage and spam, that hasn't got much spam in it.

[–]PidgeottosCrew 5 points6 points ago

It's a Monty Python thread. Of course all the top comments are going to be quotes.

[–]fiestabooger 2 points3 points ago

the other day i was hanging with some people younger than me, they were 22 i believe. I am 27. When that fact came across they sorta tilted their heads. Not that it changed anything, but they just didnt expect me to be 5 years older. My reply, "I'm 27 I'm not old..." No one got it.
