In many ways, this is the ultimate Monty Python film. It isn't the first or most elaborate, even, but it's certainly the most quoted, and for good reason. The script bombards the audiences with a host of sight gags, witty wordplay, and absurdist humor and never bores the audience, choosing instead to conduct the plot through a series of vignettes. The result is a bold and hilarious take on revisionist history, definitely on par with some of Mel Brooks' finest work.
