There is a certain aspect to the humor that is far removed from what American movie goers are used to, and some people might have difficulty getting the unique brand of humor that is Monty Python, but for those viewers who understand British humor and find it funny, Monty Python and the Holy Grail is easily one of the funniest Monty Python skits, and quite possibly one of the funniest movies currently on the market

  Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the holy grail of comedic masterpieces and quickly became a cult classic for a very good reason. This movie is filled with stereotypical British humor but it is presented in such a way as to not alienate international audiences.
  The jokes are nonstop, but at the same time they are not overly exhaustive, when you watch the movie it seems to be the perfect length with the perfect speed, you never find yourself
  bored or overwhelmed during the movie, it is an exquisite balance of humor, action, mystery, and historical fiction.
  
  There are a number of jokes throughout the movie that are far from child appropriate, but as a whole they are fairly clean dirty jokes, more hinting than explicitly stating the adult jokes.
  One notable exception is the Castle Anthrax scene which is very adult oriented in dialogue.
  Most of the other jokes throughout the movie are either child friendly or are ...
- so discrete that an average child would not pick up on the jokes.
  There is a certain aspect to the humor that is far removed from what American movie goers are used to, and some people might have difficulty getting the unique brand of humor that is Monty Python, but for those viewers who understand British humor and find it funny, Monty Python and the Holy Grail is easily one of the funniest Monty Python skits, and quite possibly one
  of the funniest movies currently on the market.
  One of the only real drawbacks is how mainstream the movie has become.
  The comedic factor is strongest when taken as it was meant to be, surprising and completely random.
  While it is great fun to quote this movie and reenact certain scenes, it really loses a lot of its value when taken out of context, so if you have heard the memes before, don’t judge this movie until you personally see it in its entirety.
