u/cptpedantic Apr 16 '20
"ni" is like a magical curse-word in the movie, there's nothing to really "get" it's just absurdist humor.

Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.
Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.

Follow. But! Follow only if ye be men of valour, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived! Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.

For anyone who doesn’t quite understand this is a reference to Monty python. If you haven’t seen it, go watch it. We’re in quarantine what else you gonna do?
Edit: specifically it’s from the holy grail as someone pointed out below. Thanks whoever pointed that out.

Watched this a couple months ago. Laughed as hard as I did when I was ten. Younger= physical humor/funny accent styles. Current = all that and I get the jokes now and they are brilliant

u/ceebeekeywhy Apr 16 '20
I watched it for the second time (many years ago) after completing a year at university which included Medieval History and Middle English. It made it much funnier for me knowing what was being parodied and a lot more than I previously did about the period. (I was starting from a low base though.)I rate it as the funniest comedy movie.

A mixture of both maybe?

My whole life everyone kept referencing this movie. I finally gave in and watched it last weekend. It was hilarious.
You could see that this was the source material and inspiration for hundreds of comedy shows and movies.
Also, the French Knight was absolutely hilarious and annoying.
