Monkey Dust - The Crusades

[MrSkyrimfan]

The USA diddnt exist in the middle ages

[deadlyram2k6]

@MrSkyrimfan thats the joke- nevermind.

[pitsinokaki]

LOL!

[ShipersUK]

Love Monkey Dust, from a time when TV didn't have to be so PC!

The comments on this video have reminded me how stupid people can be.

[kitsch2spacea]

@rxmcgree after all that being said, its actually even more funnier on second viewing. Go figure.

[bazzabaz]

This is at the very least as historically accurate as Braveheart.

[93224956]

@bazzabaz Or Mormonism.

[annedrodgyness]

I'm not sure which is funnier. The comment from @rxmcgree or the fact some people appear to be taking it seriously.

[weneedtodosomething]

LOL the crusades were a fight against muslim aggression... they finally beat them at the gates of vienna 9/1611

hence why bin laden chose 9/11 as his date to attack... to announce the comeback....... why we let muslims into christendom I shall never nooo

[inechiSAN]

@weneedtodosomething the crusades fought against muslims? i guess thats the only thing good about it.

[Sebastianisgreat]

In honour of all the Americans who died in the early Middle Ages!!

haha that dove at the end is perfect

[ChicknPoo]

LOL @ the BBC intro!!!

[TheBlindPig1]

Christ says to the homosexuals, dont advertise your poverty, please.

[Laughingblades]

lulz lulz hahaha lulz

[OmfgItsHenu]

why is this so horrible?

[diprose]

lmao

takes the piss out of yanks so bad !

[Threepwud]

@diprose And they probably don't see it

[gimmicksrwe]

ah the craic <3

[cornishdm]

"Sal-adin - you English basterd!" lol

[garethcrogan86]

Where is this from? I own the first series of Monkey Dust on dvd but I've never seen this....

[TheMarlinspike]

@garethcrogan86 The second or third series? :)

[Cholmeleian]

@garethcrogan86 - Monkey Dust season 2 (or 3), not issued on DVD unfortunately. Better than season 1.

[MoonstompingMike1985]

'kill the women and children...bring in the men' lol

[TroutMaskReplicaa]

2.11 onwards is seriously disturbing to me, it feels as if I've got screams circulating within my mind, a fog is trapped between the ears, a child is weeping within my mind, it's tears dribbling into my steaming mind... it's horrible the animation just makes me wanna cry

[rich8642]

@TroutMaskReplicaa

Oh don't be such a drama queen, you might have been trying to sound poetic, but you just sound like a twat.

[eezysqueezy]

@TroutMaskReplicaa Captain Beefheart is dead you pretentious tosser.

[ukProductions08]

wtf is this shit this is stupid man

[joezzzify]

"It's like they want us to either follow their religeon or die!"

christianity used to be like that

[joezzzify]

@02bikerboy theres no point complaining, god doesnt exist

[ilovepinkfloydyay]

This is a spot on representation of hollywod movies.

[TheEvilOnion]

@02BikerBoy Christianity's existed far longer than Islam, and Christians have commited their fair share of atrocities too. If you're going to use religious history to try to justify your ignorance at least do your homework first

[posthumouslyyours]

@TheEvilOnion well said, the inquisition comes to mind.

[KingxInxYellow]

Soundtrack available in stores now, for those who missed the sub.

[skegpit]

02BikerBoy must have the IQ of a dying snail.

[bigchicken24]

@skegpit LMAO

[lordofbore]

Hollywood Rules!!

[Dictator300]

This is somewhat funny...but damn, I have a lot of respect for Saladin. I can't bring myself to laugh at him. Of course, that's how I am, I just can't laugh at people like Saladin. He's a great example of a leader.

I do, however, understand the rules of comedy, "If you love it, make fun of it."

It would be very insulting for Muslims, even I felt slightly insulted, and I'm Christian.

[02BikerBoy]

@Dictator300 Saladin was a great leader but he was fucking Muslim. Surly that's reason enogh for us to laugh at him.

[Dictator300]

@02BikerBoy That's prejudice man. I don't know you, but you ain't Christian. Muslims reading this, HE DOES NOT REPRESENT US.

[02BikerBoy]

@Dictator300

The Muslims have been trying to wipe out Christianity since it first came about and are still trying to do so now. Why show them any respect? They are the Devils right hand.

[Chris9ian]

@02BikerBoy Have you no brains Islam teaches tolerance for all christians or atleast 99% of then criticze those who dont follow there religion

[02BikerBoy]

@Chris9ian

Are you blind? can you not see what they are doing to us? What they have always done to us? What about this war that we're in. They minght say it's a political war or whatever but ever since Christianity came about the Muslims were trying to destroy us. It's like they want us to either follow their religeon or die!

[Chris9ian]

@02BikerBoy Thats not true it was the christians who started the crusades and got there ass kicked plus the koran preaches for tolerance

[BanausicAbstraction]

@Chris9ian

The Christians started the Crusades, however the Crusades were a continuation of an existing war waged by Islam on Christianity, actually beginning with the Reconquista of Spain after it was invaded by Moorish Muslim armies. The Crusades were simply a concerted effort by Christianity as a faith rather than a set of countries to resist Islam, which was already acting as a united front since its inception and had been waging war on Europe for centuries.

Learn some history, you fuck.

[Chris9ian]

@BanausicAbstraction nice language oh by the way about the crusades were to goet gold and silver not as you claim a response to attack. Muslims were much more fair

[samprastherabbit]

@BanausicAbstraction You should also learn some history. That's the most over simplified and confused crap I've read in a long time.

[bigchicken24]

@02BikerBoy you don't deserve a computer, monitor, mouse and keyboard!

[BanausicAbstraction]

@02BikerBoy

Islam is a religion based on the tenets of Christianity and Judaism. It was created to feed the ambitions of a priest of the older Arabic faiths who felt that the Judeo-Christian religions carried a stronger message than his simple tribal worship. Christianity predates Islam by several centuries, and Judaism predates Christianity.

What you mean to say is, "The Muslims were trying to destroy us ever since Islam came about. It's like they want us to follow their religion or die!"

[tonmaster2]

@Chris9ian mate, all you talking about is basically crap! '99%' where did you get that statistics....

[Chris9ian]

@tonmaster2 By the christians ive met there hypocritical stuck up asses

[tonmaster2]

@Chris9ian i am a devout christian.all devout muslims i knowwho dont give a rats ass about the fact that i worship christ. they would care if i worship buddha or krishna. the leading minority that shouts a lot defames religion. remember KKK! IRA!

[suggittthrash]

I love the subliminal message "soundtrack in stores now" lol

[ChicknPoo]

LMFAO @ the beginning!

[trevster2905]

The black dude is wearing the Cornish flag! Keepin it Kernow!

[02BikerBoy]

For one there were no Americans in the middle ages

Secondly, Saladin was arabian

Thirdly, THE WHOLE FUCKING CLIP WAS AN INSULT!

[djbagmc]

@02BikerBoy

For one, that's precisely the joke.

Secondly, Saladin was a Kurd.

Thirdly, bollocks.

[02BikerBoy]

@djbagmc

Hundreds of Christians died in the crusades! It's no joke. I don't care if it had anything to do with you Americans or not, show some respect!

[Adventchild8]

@02BikerBoy

Hundreds of muslims died and they were made fun of as well. What your point?

[02BikerBoy]

@Adventchild8

Yes but the Muslims don't deserve respect. They started that war by taking Jerusalem from us!

[Adventchild8]

@02BikerBoy Are you realy blaming a whole faith for what people did hundreds of years ago?

[02BikerBoy]

@Adventchild8

No, I'm saying they don't deserve the respect the Christians do.

[Adventchild8]

@02BikerBoy

I'm ending this convo now since I can all ready tell you're ignorant.

[SentinelConvergence]

@02BikerBoy Trolling or lack of ability to detect sarcasm?

[1024joaquin]

@02BikerBoy You are to uneducated to understand this, just keep watching clips of Carrot Top people like you find funny.

[02BikerBoy]

@1024joaquin How am I uneducated? Your're the one who can't spell.

[TheCrusaderBin]

So it is basicly in honour of no one? xD

[Lazyguy22]

So the black guy is Cornish?

[Lazyguy22]

That Utah teapot is clearly a traitor!

[JoeyLemons06]

22 dislikes didn't realise that this was a parody.

[xylaphonemaster]

Does anyone know which western the music at the end's from? I know it's not one of the Dollars trilogy, it's not Highplanes Drifter, and it's not Hang em High either. I'm totally at a loss. And it bugs the hell out of me every time I remeber. I'll give whoever tells me rightly one hundred imaginary English pounds, almost as good as monopoly money!

[Yodelinghero1]

@xylaphonemaster My best guess is that it is by Ennio Morrocone... I would like £2.50 for that trivia alone... in imaginary money of course...

[qn5r]

@xylaphonemaster Magnificent seven?

[leadskellington]

So much wank.

[thehegarty87]

this is bbc1 hahahaha

[rxmcgree]

Rather amusing but it is so historically inaccurate. The 42nd Horseborne wasn't formed until 60 years after the recovery of the Holy Grail. The mission was actually accomplished by knights from the 327th Horse Assualt and the 6th Horseborne. Also Coach died of Dropsy en route to the Holy Land and so was not actually there. Finally Saladin was Welsh. Yes Welsh. Sorry to be a pedant but I have to set the record straight.

[TheCrusaderBin]

@rxmcgree Seriously? I watched Monty Pythons Holy Grail but I smomehow forgot that part...

[Sebastianisgreat]

@rxmcgree wow, way NOT to get the joke!

[JinRenegade]

@Sebastianisgreat OMG, he was just adding to the joke! Read his comment! Way NOT to get the joke yourself.

[messthetics]

@rxmcgree Isn't the inaccuracy of films like this the point of this piece of satire though?

[SiorafasNaCillini]

@rxmcgree

It's a satire. It's inaccurate on purpose, parodying Hollywood stuff like the black crusader, there were no black crusaders but the Americans do stuff like that in their films to not look racist or something.

[SASKeyboardCommandos]

@SiorafasNaCillini We don't do that, well maybe in B-Movies but still

[SASKeyboardCommandos]

@SiorafasNaCillini We don't do that, well maybe in B-Movies but who watches them

[gouranga245]

The music is "Il Pistolero Dell"

[TheShart1234]

wtf is with the beginning 2 guys fucking what the fuck

[mcguinnsrickenbacker]

@TheShart1234

I may be wrong,but I think it might be a satrical jab at the BBC's pro-diversity agenda, and who,at the time,featured disabled people and wheelchair-bound people playing sports in their idents IIRC.

There's another MD sketch where a BBC ident has a bunch of Muslims stoning to death this woman in a burka.

God I miss this show.

[DieMenschMaschine85]

"You can kill our families, but you'll never kill the craic!"

[mannyfromsaneli]

3:01 Soundtrack in stores now.

[SpectralSpiral]

This is the first thing I thought of when I saw the trailers for the new Robin Hood movie. So glad I don't work in the UK right now and have to take shit for Hollywood crap like that.

[masserby]

Ironic the 42 are wearing the English flag...

[jaidaphire]

At long last, AUTHENTICITY! It's about freakin' time they portrayed the bad guys as effete Brits with posh accents!

[rollomaughfling]

@jaidaphire Apart from their servant, who is, of course a Mockney!

[jaidaphire]

@rollomaughfling Of course, but the most dastardly ones had the poshest Oxonian accents, just as they did in real-life 12th-century Jerusalem. That's what makes this movie such a refreshing contrast to all the pseudo-historical drivel we usually get.

[ThePointlessAtheist]

When al found out he was gonna be a father a shiver went up my spine, i felt something bad was going to happen to him. I still cried when butters said "i guess theres one guy who cant go home". God bless those brave souls of the 42 horse borne.

[Aspire85]

This is stupidly true.. American film-makers haven't got a clue!

[Njalvis]

I fucking love monkey dust. genius

[08140914]

if the crusaders had ak47s, then they would have kicked the arab's asses.

[zcox795]

i knew the blond dude was fucked as soon as he said he was gna be a daddy haha

[foamyjesus]

LOL I cant believe they actually used that tea pot from 3d studio max.

[Bisected8]

@foamyjesus Actually it's the "Iowa Teapot". One of the first polygonal models ever made. It's used as a primitive on every program as a sort of tribute.

[foamyjesus]

@Bisected8 I didn't know that. :D

[froelkok]

I think the musi is from the film "he good the bad and the ugly" and composed by Ennio Morricone

[froelkok]

The good the bad and the ugly

[samsam29]

It's by Morricone probably but not The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

[msanniemc]

Hah, the 'English' are yanks, and the 'A-rab' baddies are English.

[raymondtv]

Does anyone know what the music is at 4.06 is called please? Thankyou

[gouranga245]

Was wondering that me self

[boroboy87]

[6arbah]

and i know he will curse me

[Mattimo13]

Love the Aliens reference too "Wierzbowski!!!"

[loonmaniac]

What's the deal with the buttfucking?

[cupofcustard]

LOL it's a paradoy of one of the station ids they used to have on BBC1 back in the early 2000s, it involved these blokes in red tee shirts who did look a bit gay. I assume (though I can barely remember it) that it was the beebs attempt at trying too hard to be politically correct.

[loonmaniac]

Gotcha. Cool vid, the intro just puzzled me.

[chairtechno]

The BBC were going through a phase where they featured choreographed disabled people between programmes as a sort of 'inclusivity' thing.

I expect it's a piss-take of that.

[woggleeyes]

No dude not disabled people . Remember the two guys doing cart wheels on a similar roof . It stems from that.

[Coldwarwinner]

Haha, nipples on Saladin's armor.

[DennyMeissen]

oh lol

[ImpatientLime]

roflmao!!

[mattovboro]

wow so this is what really happened

[Calum4291]

Making saladin look like Hitler was a great touch

[egyptianstrider2000]

loool idiots

[dthomas1984]

"You can kill our families but you'll never kill the craic." Genius.

[amenatsuhasujinseii]

i love the fact that the arabs have english

accents

[smoky90210]

AMERICA WINS AGAIN!!!!!!

[mikeymorgan]

[Bidmartinlo]

[armadilloHD]

I guess there's one guy...who can't go home...

[eruhini]

jodidos yankis.

[jezkemp]

Best two bits - the quote at the end, and the black guy wearing the Cornish flag! Absolute genius!

[daxyboyfuck]

It's like a history lesson come alive.

[DeutscheKnecht]

[paupenas]

Jablonskis XD

[ErniePi]

[radiodarkhorse]

I did. Very clever of them

[madskillz808]

Saladin! You english bastard!

[solidsmooky]

America Number 1

[thepengu]

America is number 21 and a half

[jestervision595]

lol hollywood bastards

[petermaquire]

hehe

[apoisonoussymphony]

first time i saw that first bit on tv, i almost died

[jasongreenwooduk]

when the crow plucks out the eyeball....whats is that instrumental tune called (that whistling)?

[ringosis]

It's the music from The Good The Bad & The Ugly i think or it's meant to sound like it.

[chodemastergeneral]

haha in honor or all the americans that died in the middle ages

[vortex1231]

to be sure saladin, you can kill our families but you'll never kill the craic:))

[primeval22]

Haha! This is so true, I love it

[DarkerDzinn]

haha,look at this!everybody is pissed at me XD

[boofind]

nope we are just pointing out that you got to much sand in your eyes and ears.

[somethunder86]

Great cartoon!!

[Sarkarin]

Saladin is an English and looks like Hitler.

[ThePlagueVat]

Parody.

This is one.

[DarkerDzinn]

Saladin being defeated??HA,only in ur dreams!!and the crusaders being American is the most unlogical shit ever!

[kietotheworld]

It's a parody you pillock.

[DarkerDzinn]

well,it wasn't funny so I didn't think it was a parody :P

[Czechmate1967]

Saladdin was defeated- at the Battle of Arsuf on September 7, 1191 and then signed a treaty with Richard 1st the following year and died shortly after.

[DarkerDzinn]

yeah,but was he defeated frequently like the crusaders that attacked him???

[ThePlagueVat]

Does it really matter? I mean, does the exact manner of his defeat have anything to do with it?

[DarkerDzinn]

I get it now ^_^ it's a parody so I don't take it seriously :P

[HarmonixProductions]

its spelt saladin

[Czechmate1967]

As he was a Kurd and spoke I assume Kurdish and Arabic...his name is a translation and therefore I'll spell it how the feck I like.

[rolfeder]

what's with the buttfucking cartoon in the beginning?

[Intelliraptor]

At the time this was shown, bbc had one of those cutscene things, the things they have playing in the background while a voice announces what is next, featuring 2 guys in red shirts or something XD

[DarkerDzinn]

it indicates that this is a gay cartoon of course!!

[ThePlagueVat]

Oy! Pack that shit in. We've had enough of your bullshitting, alright?

[JackWarren2]

wow so that's how it happened

[stevensantosss]

U S A !  U S A !

[workingclassbum]

"in honour of all the americans who died in the early middleages" fucking brillant!
