Monty Python - Repressed Citizen

The Repressed Citizen skit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

I only upload these videos because i'm tired of all the shitty quality ones on youtube.

"How do you know he's a king?"

"Because he doesn't have shit all over him."

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

[Neo.]

I love how he immediately converts “Lady of the lake” into *”Strange women”*

Strange woman lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

[kaigomai]

"Now we see the violence inherited in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!"
I love Monty Python

[RSpracticalshooting]

"There's some lovely filth over here!"

that shit gets me every time.

"You can't 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!"

[cheekymonkey]

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

[bobford]

An entire year of Political Science 101, all in three minutes.  Brilliant.

"I thought we were an autonomous collective" lmao

[nicokilborncar]

"Supreme executive power comes from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony "

I love Monty Python

[klatewilson]

"Dennis, there's some lovely filth down here"

[Ucheva]

"Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!"

[CelebrianUndomiel]

My friend's text tone is "help! help! I'm being repressed!" ..we laugh every time

[brianwallace]

People coming from Twitter: the whole movie is this good

[faktumstreambeatz]

I never noticed they're just slapping mud into a pile for no reason

[ashman]

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