I am greatly impressed by the amount of Holy Grails here! The people (i.e. Morons) round here tend to think that Monty Python is a real person...

Anyway...:

1.Monty Python and the Holy Grail
2.Episode I: The Phantom Menace (lets face it, that film was one big joke)
3.Evil Dead 2:Dead By Dawn
4.Beatle Juice
5.Mars Attacks

This is Spinal Tap (the foil wrapped cucumber scene)
That was pretty funny, but Stonehenge is quite possibly the most hilarious thing I've ever seen.

Hard to believe isn't it?

A typical convo would go:

me: "got bored so I watched Holy Grail"
Moron#1: "Holy Grail?"
Moron#2: "Yea, Monty Python, he directed a comedy film about King Authur and called it Monty Python and the Holy Grail"

It is at about this time that the bitch slapping starts.

It was called Airplane!. In the United States, there's no such thing as an "aeroplane," because for the most part, we hate extra syllables.

EDIT: That, and we also hate the French. Or, at least these other guys do. I've never minded the French very much.
