Funniest scenes?


What does everyone think were the best scenes? For me it was Halfdan the Black conducting business ("Look, I'm not an unreasonable man but this IS the second chance that I've given you...will you behead him please?"). That is classic John Cleese. I also like the Japanese slavemaster ("How I abominate your milk drinking and your failure to eat your lunch out of little boxes!"). That was probably the most Python-y scene. Also I love Ulf the Maddeningly Calm preaching to his son, Sven the Berserk ("I KNOW! I'VE HEARD IT ALL A THOUSAND TIIIIMES! AAAARRGH!").

The final sinking scene on Hy-Brazil - The remaining Hy-Brazilians and King Arnulf are sitting on the last piece of the island still above water (but not for long):

Choir: "Tee dum! Tee dum! Tee dum! Tee dum!"

King Arnulf: "You know, I think we're getting better!"

Hy-Brasilian1: "How can you tell?"

King Arnulf (puzzled): "Hummm."

Princess Aud (distressed, from the ship): "Father!"

King Arnulf (waves cheerfully): "It's all right, it's not happening!"

Princess Aud: "Father, it is!"

Erik: "Get on board!"

Hy-Brazilian1: "No thanks!"

Hy-Brazilian2: "Who do you think you are?!"

Hy-Brazilian1: "Panic mongers!"

Keitel Blacksmith: "Come on, over here!"

Hy-Brazilian1: "Leave us alone!"

Sven The Berserk: "Yeah, leave them alone!"

Princess Aud: "It's sinking, Hy-Brazil is sinking!"

King Arnulf: "Well my dear, I think you'll find it's all a question of what you want to believe in, and I happen to have more experience in these matters than you do and blblblbllblblbbbb..." (they calmly sink into the water forever, King Arnulf cheerfully optimistic and still talking even unto the end)

XD I just love Terry Jones (King Arnulf) in this...

Those are so good! This is more of a running theme but it finally pays off! I love the parts where Harald can't see anything because he's a Christian and it just becomes a source of annoyance for everyone. He can't see the dragon, he can't see the
Valhallanians but he can walk through through the gate back to the ship so he is the one to blow the final note and bring them all home.
Finally when he lands on HalfDan the Black as he is about to kill everyone, is a perfect loop to a great ending.

The Japanese task master is good.
