        If I went around calling myself emperor because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me they’d put me away!

        (It’s amazing how much of this aligns with Graeber’s work)

    Judean People Front vs People Front of Judea. So many issues of today can be boiled down to that discussion.

    Also, I kind of agree that everyone has the pholosophical right to be pregnant, even if it’s not a possibility.

    Oof, too many to choose from. The first that came to my mind were the argument clinic and the cheese shop sketch.

    My hovercraft is full of eels.

      If one studies any foreign language, one of the first things one should learn is how to say “My Hovercraft is full of eels”. And in fact I have done this. Why? Because when someone is studying an unusual choice of language (in my case it’s Modern Greek) one is inevitably asked to “Say something in (Greek in my case)”. So the sentence, which is objectively absurd, actually becomes useful. I’m considering Irish as my next language. Why Irish? Maybe speaking some Irish would help me get an Irish passport so I can escape from Fascist America.

      Argument clinic is what I was going to choose haha

    Biggus Dickus, I remember my dad cracking up over it the first time I saw Holy Grail (not his first time, obviously). And now, more than 15 years later we’re still in tears when just mentioning the name or watching the scene for the x’th time

        “You know what she’s called? Incontinentia… Incontinentia Buttocks WILL YOU STOP LAUGHING!?”

        That scene is always able to make me laugh.

          They told the actors playing the guards it was very important that they keep a straight face throughout, and then planned on cracking them up. Or so I’ve been told

            I believe it is true. The extras were told they wouldn’t get paid if they laughed. I love when he swings his toga around and gets in that guards face - “how 'bout you centurion? Do you find it risible to laugh when I say the naaaame…”

              I’d like to think it was less a threat and more an appeal to professionalism.

              “We’ve got to get this scene, and time is running out. You guys have to treat this like you’re doing Shakespeare live. Whatever you do, don’t fuck this up.”

    My top favourite is already the top most voted so I’ll just mention a few that I think are classics that I didn’t see on the list:

    Sir robin bravely ran away

    Holy hand grenade

    The animator having a heart attack

    The meaning of life
    Try to be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.
