In fact 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' was made by two highly qualified
medievalists, one of whom has a couple of rather serious books in print.
It has all the good 'medieval jokes' in it and you do actually need to
know
a reasonable amount of history to appreciate them.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
