Reply to comment by StrangeCitizen in TIL in the 1980s Monty Python got much of its exposure to the US through PBS, because of CBS censoring parts of "The Holy Grail" in a 1977 broadcast. This upset the comedy troupe, prompting them to withdraw the broadcast rights. by AnthillOmbudsman

Nah, it's not for everybody.

My brother and I did it at the dinner table a couple of times in like 1992 for Thanksgiving or whatever just off the cuff. I think we did the "constitutional peasant" scene from the Holy Grail. Put my parents in stitches. Everybody thought it was hilarious and we were all roaring, so my sister bought the VHS of Holy Grail and we all watched it.

Literally nobody thought it was funny except me and my brother

That's my favorite scene.

Considering the number of people who can do it off by heart, I would say it's a lot of people's favorite scenes.
