"You have to know these things when you're a king."
Goated movie. The budget was practically minimum wage
This scene gets even funnier when you realise that an African and European swallow is the same bird... it migrates.
Man got his own favorite color wrong π€£
"No, yellow." -sir Galahad's final words
The fact he got affected ...many agree with the theory that he was not the bridge keeper...he literally just chose to go there and pretend to troll people to their deaths for fun and chaos like the joker agent of chaos level
I dont understand how people dont love this style of comedy.
I imagine it's just a random guy who found out the bridge kills you when you lie.
βHow are you so wise in the ways of swallowsβ
The third guy fucked up so badly he had one of the simplest questions
"What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?"π π π
The Gatekeeper got reversed real bad π Edit:1.3k Likes?! Holy smoke
On the assyria question you just say "which year" (it changed a lot)
That King play the Uno reverse cardπππ
Btw the capital of the Assyrian Empire was Niniveh
He had to be specific about the capital of Assyria because it changed so many times π΅βπ«π΅βπ«
I about died of laughter when my friend introduced me to this Holy Grail of a movieπ. One of the funniest movies ever made.
God I love this movie
We are no longer the Knights who say knee. We are the Knights who say icky, icky, icky, pootewee & you must find the largest tree in the forest & cut it down with...... A Herring! I will do no such thing! Awww, please.
This implies that it's not the bridgekeeper that throws those people but the bridge itself. Might be an SCP object.
