"I spit on your gonads, you quarter witted son of a cabbage hunter."
Instant classic.

I cant believe this dude was still guarding that castle after all those years. The french really know how to hold a grudge.

[animfan]

84 years and he's still got it. :)

RIP French Taunter.... You fought valiantly for 48 years .

Guise de Lombard has one hell of a loyal guard, defending the castle and taunting the foe for nearly 50 years.

My 10 year old son was in a castle recently. He leaned over a wall and yelled, "I fart in your general direction!" He even rustled up an outrageous French accent.

I was crying laughing.

Never underestimate a cabbage hunter, it takes skill to distinguish cabbage from lettuce

Not only is John Cleese still just as good as he was back then, but he is also very aerodynamic.

"You quarter witted son of a cabbage hunter!". Classic.

[mho...]

"your Mother was a Hamster & your Father smelled of Elderberries" is still the best BURN in History!

I get the most fun out of seeing the nun smile in the end after she messes up the cross... Handled that situation perfectly and made the blooper super sympathetic

[AaronBeDarin]

Seeing this brings me so much joy and nostalgia. Well done. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to watch Monty Python and The Holy Grail for the thousandth time

[charlessaint]

That's a dedicated soldier. He hasn't left his post in forty-eight years! Haven't seen that dedication since the Japanese holdouts in the Philippines.

[HollywoodLego]

After all these years, the French taunter's karma finally got to him. XD

[usethforceforgood]

This is pure happiness. Takes me back 20 years when I first saw Monty Python and the Holy Grail as a kid. Comedy gold 👌🏼

[alisterx]

After all these years of having a cow and numerous other things launched at them, the final thing was the Frenchman himself.

[dieal]

The whole scene captures Monty Python's escence flawlessly.

[allenra]

This is every bit as funny as the original scene. The brilliance of Python has not diminished with the years.
