Trying to hit the word count on an essay be like

[Jrlomay]

They gotta sell bath bombs in the shape of the Holy Hand Grenade

[smalltimer]

" ... then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it. "

Saint Paul's letters to the Americans.

[TheMidnightPhil]

Having been raised Catholic, I love how well they nailed the unnecessarily lengthy and repetitious Biblical passages.

[Runningtaco]

I particularly enjoy Eric's slight head nod after Michael said "5 is right out" like he's thinking "indeed brother, 5 is definitely right out"

[greffect]

How the f**k did they keep a staight face while filming these? It mush have taken a thousand takes to get it right. Awesome!!!

Story time: in language arts class, the teacher ran out of material to teach so the topic of King Arthur came up, me and the teacher exchanged the entire holy hand grande scene, this happened 2 days ago

[takashiari]

1:19 "...and fruit bats..."

Oh... oh no

[NewBloodPvM]

This may be the dumbest scene ever written. Just incredible, so well done. None of it was necessary, and all of it was needed. Absolutely legendary.

[hectorblacknight]

"O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade, that with it Thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy." My favourite line from this scene XD

[YumeDream]

"and the Lord did grin"
The best Bible verse I've ever heard.

[brandonschlepp]

Truly the Kings of Comedy. haha, the bit about the "orangu-tans" and "breakfast cereals" gets me every time. Such a perfect spoof of the repetitiveness of scripture. haha.

[cleiven]

"You didn't study for your massive exam at all and it's tomorrow! What are you going to do?"

King Arthur:
"Consult the book of Armaments"

Brother Maynard:
"Armaments - chapter 2: verses 9-21"

Brother Maynard's roommate:
"And St Atilla raised the hand grenade up on high saying: "O lord, bless this thy hand grenade. That with it, thou mayst blow thy enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy. And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large cho-" "

Brother Maynard:
"Skip a bit, brother"

Brother Maynard's roommate:
"And the Lord spake, saying: "First, thou shalt take out the holy pin. Then, thou shall count to 3. No more, no less. 3 shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be 3. 4 shall thou not count, neither count thou 2 - accepting that thou then proceed to 3. 5 is right out! Once the number 3 -being the third number - be reached, then lobbest thou thy holy hand grenade of Antioch towards thy foe. Who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." "

Brother Maynard:
"Amen"

Others:
"Amen"

[melonyellow]

"And the Lord did grin and the people did feast upon [...] fruit bats [...]"In retrospective that might have been a mistake.

[eliegbert]

"The thermometer shall be at 72, no more, no less. 72 shall be the number it shouldst be at, and the number shall be 72, 73 shall thou not count, neither shouldst thou count to 71, excepting that thy then proceed to 72. 74 is RIGHT OUT."

[DrunkenCoward]

I still sometimes say "FIVE IS RIGHT OUT!"
I don't know why, but of this scene this is one of the most memorable quotes. I would not know why, I just really like it.

[YaBoiPatron]

LAUNCELOT: We have the Holy Hand Grenade.

ARTHUR: Yes, of course! The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch! 'Tis one of the sacred relics Brother Maynard carries with him! Brother Maynard! Bring up the Holy Hand Grenade! [singing] How does it, uh... how does it work?

LAUNCELOT: I know not my liege.

ARTHUR: Consult the book of armaments.

MAYNARD: Armaments, Chapter Two, Verses Nine to Twenty-One.

BROTHER: "And Saint Atila raised the hand grenade up on high saying, 'Oh, Lord, bless this thy hand grenade that with it thou mayest blow thy enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin, and people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large --"

MAYNARD: Skip a bit, Brother.

BROTHER: "And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out! Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.'"

MAYNARD: Amen.

ALL: Amen.

ARTHUR: Right! One... two... five!

GALAHAD: Three sir.

ARTHUR: Three!
