- The Repressed Citizen skit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
I do not own any of this material it's all courtesy of Monty Python at / montypython .
I only upload these videos because i'm tired of all the shitty quality ones on youtube.
Strange woman lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
Ben Bieryla
Better than an electoral college it seems.
*women
Better a system in which we take turns trying to pull a sword out of a stone.

Ann Oynmous Yeah pretty much. Every election the losing side bitches about the system
"How do you know he's a king?"
"Because he doesn't have shit all over him."
Lmao😂😂

When I was a kid, this scene seemed so weird and out of place in this movie full of hilarious jokes. Now as an adult, it’s one of the funniest scenes in the entire movie to me. Really wasn’t until I understood politics that I got the joke, and now I realize just how hilarious it truly is
The joke is also that they are in a commune that has them collecting dirt
@@robertsalfelder8111 no not really. If that’s all you gathered from that then you missed the entire contextual point of the scene and joke.

Ditto
I couldn’t agree more. Every time I watch this the second Arthur starts the speech about the Lady of the Lake I can’t handle it at all.
"Now we see the violence inherited in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!"
I love Monty Python
Why repressed, rather than oppressed?
@@rockuverymuch Well I mean it is a satire of over-sensitive hippies, as much as it is a satire of imperialism. Having the peasant use words he doesn't understand is very on point.
@@rockuverymuch Why 'Inherited' rather than 'Inherent'?
Cuz phone autocorrect
@@rockuverymuch Correct you are!
This has aged beautifully
Dave Here
As it should.
Hasn't aged at all, just become more relevant
"Become more relevant"? The whole point of the joke is it's always been relevant.
Your PhD in DnD has not prepared you to make any relevant observations it turns out. When someone says the point of a joke is only to be funny not relevant I don't think they know much about humour, particularly the kind brought up by well read medievalist comedians.
Like a lord London cheese
An entire year of Political Science 101, all in three minutes. Brilliant.
bobford01 101 is a class. It's Just a semester long
Well, aren't you the smart one. With a brain like yours, a still wet scimitar may be yours soon... and you will be King.
bobford01 freedom can be understood in mere seconds. you don't need a semester class and years of schooling. it's a waste of precious time when you could actually be learning something.
Congratulations. You don't need to take your civics test in order to graduate.
More like the first paragraph of two Wikipedia articles
I love how he immediately converts “Lady of the lake” into *”Strange women”*
How many ladies you know live in lakes?

The original line apparently was 'Dennis have you seen the cat's front legs?' For some reason MP decided that was too silly :p
an oxymoron if you ever heard one
“You can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you”.
Wisdom
Why not? Especially if that sword is magical. Then he could simply use it to kill any who disagrees with his claim of rulership.
I love how the joke is that Dennis criticizes how Arthur gets his right to rule from a pragmatic standpoint
Lol

The line "If I was going around saying I was emperor because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me" is pure comedic gold.

It's been two years. Should be funnier now.
"There's some lovely filth over here!"
that shit gets me every time.
And then: "I thought we were an autonomous collective..."

I read this exactly as it happened
SHUT UP
Oooh! "moistened bint" I was wondering what he was saying.
"Supreme executive power comes from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony "
I love Monty Python
"If I went around saying I was Emperor just cuz some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!"
If that were only true. . .seems like it comes from a group of the few and the masses are just useful idiots.
Violence inherit in the system
Still hilarious after all these years. I could remember bits of this and searched for the entire scene. It's even funnier now that I'm older.
HELP HELP ,I'm being repressed
Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses! Not from some farcical aquatic ceremony....You cant expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you! ...I mean..if I went around, saying I was an emperor, just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away! 😂😂😂

Anarchosyndicist commune or strange women lying in ponds distributing swords. The choice is yours...

False dichotomy

Hahaha, good one :)
denis chomsky
Nope more like the Anarcho-Syndicalist peasant, which is like the exact opposite of being a constitutionalist. Constitutions require a nation state or higher form of government, self sustaining Syndicalist communes are reject the entire notion of nation states entirely.
stop repressing him
I'm your king.
Well, I didn't vote for you.
Somehow this feels more relevant than ever...
"Strange women laying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!"
Best line in the movie.

I agree
You saw him repressing me? You saw it, didn't you?
The most hilarious scene in my opinion
Claire Claire why do you have to be so racist bro :/
Jake : Because I learned from them how to be racist.
That literally makes no sense.

"You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you". I love it.
One of the funniest parts is when Dennis goes into his parlimentary procedures explanation, and Arthur reacts with "yes, yes" exasperation, as if he's heard it all before
"Yes I see"
I order you to be quiet
Well you have to know this things when you're king, you know?
just the opening few lines I find the funniest, the way it unravels - "you could say Dennis" - "I didn't know you were called Dennis" - "well you didn't bother to find out did you!". I love this unravelling style of dialogue they did, same with the WWI soldiers in the trench in Meaning of Life, it starts out mundane then gets preposterous - "let's not give him the cake"
"some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me" this kills me everytime!
They'd put me away!

In high school, my theatre program held a variety show senior year. When I was offered a chance to audition with some originals, I leapt at it. The first was Shia LaBeouf's "Do It" monologue. The second was this scene with my buds. Loved it. An absolute blast. I had the honor of being Dennis the Anarcho-Syndicalist peasant. My best friend was Arthur. We had actual coconut halves for the sound effect.
"Well, I can't just call you *man* "

Way ahead of its time
I don't think it was. We just haven't moved on...
@random9409 Yeah, cause we're being repressed
These are talking points that were relevant in the early 1800 Russian universities according to the writings of British officers serving during the Crimean war.
Shit's been around for years lad.
Not really lol actually 3 thousand years too late
^^ Yeah, I always hear this idea that somehow human nature changed with the advent of some unspecified new technology. Stuff has changed but the more ya read, the more you realise that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
"I am your Queen, Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons" ……… " well I didnt vote for you!"

The same could be said for Jon Snow, or any rulers in that series, really.

@@monty3916 Well, Sansa wasn't. She became QitN because she was the King's sister. Also did you miss the scene when they all laughed at the concept of democracy? The Starks aren't more legitimate than anyone else.

Bit sexist innit
Even by the satirical genius standards of Monty Python this scene is magnificent.
Now we in the UK have Charlie the 3rd as king, this scene comes to mind :)
Bloody peasant
Nobody even lobbed a sword at him 😭
Funny part is this scene is also mocking the form of governing the peasant talked about. It’s a system that has you collecting dirt. It’s obviously not a very good system you have going haha
I don't know if that is the intended joke. This is more like Doug Stanhope's bit about hookers being hyper aware about how governments' economic policies affect them in their hooking line of work
This is where Russell Brand learned to speak.
How dare you compare that knob to the great Sir Michael Palin! Russel Brand is about as funny as a hernia

@@tdk3654 And at least watery tarts seem to be more discerning than the electoral college.

And that's exactly why politicians don't like to invest too much in education. It is a threat to the status quo.
I must say. I probably wouldn't mind if a moistened bint took an interest in me. No lobbing of scimitars needed.
How do you feel about watery tarts, though?
I love how they just keep on piling on the mud for no apparent reason.
The Mud was used on Roofs , just like tiles are today as a kind of insulation, its Medieval.

@@tradeladder146 utter nonsense! No one ever splashed wet soil on a house for roofing. Are you confused with burned tile?
Which isn't relevant either to this perfectly meaningless scene ...
@@tradeladder146 not for the roof for the walls. But in this it's used as both a contrast and a joke rather than anything useful

@@maximeteppe7627 for someone who really doesn't know the difference please explain?
@@mrttripz3236
Syndicalism could essentially be viewed as revolutionary unionism.
It's structure starts out with collectivized, and self managing workplaces, which are managed via direct democracy. These workplaces elect delegates. These delegates then form together to create a syndicate. The syndicates would then elect delegates to represent them within the federation. Basically, syndicalism uses worker unions.
Anarcho-Communism has similar structure to this. But there is one key difference. There is no distinction between the workplace and the community. The society as a whole manages everything. Where as in syndicalism a factory would only be managed by the workers, in communism it would be managed by everyone. It would be as if that factory is nationalized and is public property.
Came here right after the news of the Queen passing
this comedy is for an indisputably mature audience. no form of government was spared in the making of this bit. you want regular filth or you want lovely filth.. take your pick

This scene is some of the best comedic acting I have ever seen. From the voices to the dialogue. Soooo funny...
People this past week be like:
Whenever I RP in some game and some idiot calls himself king or queen without any way to prove it.
Ask for a picture. If they haven't got S*** all over themselves, they might be.
I can't just call you "Man"
- You could say "Dennis"
I didn't know you were called Dennis
- Well you never bothered to find out, did you?
This whole scene is surely the best dialog in comedy to date
It also sets up the scene of the 'Ruling' and 'Middle' class. Brilliant writing on their part

Arthur: I'm Your King!
Peasant: I didn't vote for you.
The true sign of great comedy - I had nearly memorized this movie by 1981, and I have seen it more times than I can count, and it STILL cracks me up!
"I'm thirty-seven! I'm not old--" .. "Well we have an average life expectancy of around fourty in this kingdom. Your next stage is dead. So better be called old now, than never."
Low life expectancy was more about children dying than adults dying before 60.
@frisianmouve Thank you thank you thank you
Oh don't worry, they will rebel against that too. Stubbornness tends to lead to a longer life.
and you have no idea how life expectancy works...
Actually in medieval times 37 years old was considered old.

Perhaps my favorite scene in the movie. Politicians, and even kings, don't like it when you show them just how totally absurd they really are. Monty Python informs the world.
Dennis for president.
*DENNIS 2020!* No More Women Lying in Ponds Distributing Swords!
Dennis for Executive Officer of the Week
Dennis for king.
Dennis for Peasant!
Honestly, the way Dennis describes Capitalist State as an Anarcho Commune frightens me. That on top of the fact that he thinks classes inherently breed violence and oppression sounds an awful lot lot Karl Marx, which is positively the worst example of any Socialist.
Dennis needs to learn some moderation and appreciation for policy of intelligent academic origin proven to help people, if he wants my vote.
”Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help, I'm being repressed!” - Priceless:)))
