What is the message behind "Monty Python & The Holy Grail"?

Shrubbery and knowing if two sparrows could carry a coconut between them if they had a string.

Honestly, do you have nothing better to do than read our comments on this?

I don't know about any message. I just know it's one of the best movies of all freakin' time!

The Dark ages was a time of ignorance & disease.

Nice comment Captain Bringdown.

"Run away!"

It's true.

I move for no man.

You can always fight on even if you only have one leg, or one arm, or no arms, or no legs.

Don't know.

I think it's a factual account of the events at that time.

Well yeah, but the movie is a comedy, so the discussion anturally SHOULD be light hearted.

Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

My above qote was taken from scene 3. http://www.mwscomp.com/movies/grail/grail-03.htm

To be funny.

always look on the bright side of life?

no, wrong movie.

you think there's a message?

I haven't seen it for many, many years. When I did see it, I was so small that the only message I picked up on was that knights who say "Ne" (or however you want to spell it) are very funny.......

Ok. Hare Krishna!

There is no "message". It's just a cool film.

The message? I never really thought of that one in terms of a "message". Not like "The Life Of Brian", that movie had an obvious message. Hmm...Maybe something like: "It isn't the finding that is important, it is the search."

Noone ever expects the Spanish Inquisition.

I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of elderberries.

I am a Knight that goes Neeeeee!

Men can be really stupid.

There was a message? I thought it was just an excuse to be extremely silly. That being said. I fart in your general director, Your mother is a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
