Der Hofnarr - Ritterschlag

[thomashogan]

The first time I saw this, I came home from the library at midnight and heard the TV on in my parent's bedroom and went to say goodnight. Mom was asleep and dad was watching this. We had to put pillows over our faces as we were both screaming with laughter. Absolutely the best.

This scene is pure comedy genius. I can see how it might have influenced Monty Python and/or Mel Brooks years later.

[djjim]

This has to be one of the FUNNIEST scenes ever in the history of motion pictures !!  

[lizaelliott]

I had not laughed in a long time the way I laughed while watching this scene. I love Danny Kaye so much!

[ellehell]

This is the funniest scene ever, Danny Kaye became his movies and he was a legend. (Rip Danny).

[elainebmack]

What makes this even funnier is when you see how slow and dignified the ceremony is really supposed to be!

[anneliesmoesker]

The most funniest scene in a movie ever, I can't stop laughing. Seen it so many times. The whole movie is a treasure. Thank you mister Kaye.

[missmilkyway]

Danny Kaye was such a funny man! Hilarious! Love this movie!

[borleyboo]

One of my most favourite scenes. So damn funny. 'YAY, VERILY YAY!!!! 😂

[kapusokapamilya]

This is another highly-amusing, well-choreographed, and truly-alluring number in one of Danny Kaye's all-time most favorite, memorable, and funniest classic movies, The Court Jester. In this particular beautiful scene"The Initiation of Knighthood" Giacomo (Danny Kaye) together with a bunch of medieval knights had splendidly and hilariously performed their fast-paced marching in unison and high spirits.One can never get tired of his one-of-a-kind antics.Hear ye! King of all the jesters DANNY KAYE.

First time I saw this movie, during this scene my mom and I were laughing so hard we were in stitches. And then his pants start falling down and reminds me of Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins.

Ich habe mir die DVD gekauft. Kindheitserinnerung

[hongkongnananewterritories]

this scene never fails to crack me up! It was the favourite of my mothers as well.

[aleciabjorlie]

How do the actors keep a straight face when this scene was being filmed... it’s soooo
funny 😂🤣...

[lilyemmalindsay]

Danny's pants are falling down. A friend introduced me to this movie & it's one of her favorites. I liked it so i got it for my b-day last yr.

[jennalonsdale]

This scene had me convulsing with laughter, I nearly fell off my bed I was laughing so hard

[boogaloopop]

Danny was always good for great choreography, and this is the best

[Rylosalex]

I saw this scene this morning, thought it was hilarious how the King ordered for the ceremony to be sped up

[fffreddie]

Ha! Look at the trousers. It's Hammer time.

[fblack]

My Favorite by far from the entire movie
