monty python-witch scene

[mina7560]

Love how Eric Idle almost breaks up when he bites his scythe..

[thesniper1191]

What's with schools and this movie? I also saw this in science for the scientific method... Where at the beginning of the movie with coconuts, they were observing and making a hypothesis, while when he was throwing the bird and coconut in this scene he was testing his hypothesis... See how much we learn through humor? Lol.

[PLSS]

My biology professor just showed us this scene in class as an example of how the scientific method worked. It is already the best class ever.

[bobbyewing311]

"She turned me into a NEWT!"

"a NEWT.?"

(silence)

I never realized what the monks were saying until I started listening to pie jesu

[keithosmarferrer]

Sir Bedevere really is a logical genius....

Sir Bedevere: ...and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped.

King Arthur: This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere. Explain again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.

[keithosmarferrer]

hahahahaha

[tripzero0]

"She turned me into a Newt Gingrich... I got better?"

[aidandelaney97]

[makingitsnowy]

[andreaplmacg]

"she turned me into a newt ... I got better"

[zAdrenalizedGamingz]

"If she weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood!" Yeah that's logic

[zAdrenalizedGamingz]

[leegoldendragon777]

[bluestar249000]

[MsTexasOne]

[ConnorGlass121]

I can't understand what the girl says at 4:18

[FlintwickTOG]

@ConnorGlass121 "Thats a fair cop"

[gorrellp]

@ConnorGlass121 Me neither... Always wondered.

[sanjuancb]

Every time I engage in political debate with someone who uses flawed logic I send them this link instead of wasting my time...

[WDLKD]

I have a duck!

[shuyin516]

[TheChech64]

we watched this in english class for an example of an argument

[JBrewer93]

@TheChech64 same here

[Stanjakill]

"who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?" - best line from whole movie - and of course it was a coconut he was tying to the bird - but was it a african or european swallow?

[TheNightSpy]

how does one get better from being a newt?

[MasterofPuppets352]

vaguely how I justify my test answers

[Randomdude742]

@shewhoisawesome12345 That was a coconut dumbass! You would know if you saw the beginning of the movie.

[AAAbookwormAAA]

She turned me into a newt!....I got better. EPIC

[Shewhoisawesome12345]

ni...

[Shewhoisawesome12345]

Btw he was tying a sheep bladder to that bird in the first part of it

[Stanjakill]

@Shewhoisawesome12345

no he wasnt you moron it was a coconut - later the kings asks bedevere to explain how sheeps bladders can be used - but this scene relates to how king arthur found the coconuts (when questioned by the castle guards at the beginning)...jeesh!

[Shewhoisawesome12345]

Ducks weigh as much as witch's or do ducks weigh as much as wood? Im confused... ni...

[JPGuitarGuyFutrell]

33 people got turned into newts... and didn't get better

[BlinktheBlueLink]

That's the most logical thing I've heard all day. And I'm in college.

[lemonola]

so logically... lol

[barroomhero4444]

33 people are made of wood

[alan517815]

Terry's... Mom xD

[sita4ram]

Same logic still applies today in religions...

[TheNightSpy]

apples? you're an apple! hahahahahahahaha

[MrZombieslayerjack]

lol we got to watch this scene in literature class, cause we are learning about the witches in salem

[VariousArtists2]

Oh man I wish this is how logic worked...

[1CaptainAustralia1]

@VariousArtists2 I could think of a few bureaucracies that apply this kind of logic...

[richardmg9]

@VariousArtists2 its done for in the video, don't you follow the line of thought?!!? L2think logically

[MrFairylights123]

32 people remained newts

[krismarkham69]

Joe McCarthy: If he weighs the same as a duck, he's a communist!

[BL10305]

Hooray for Logic!

[Wolffan8]

[awesomegreenlantern]

@Wolffan8 "O merciful Lord, grant them rest." Or something along those lines.

[FluffYdaBeasT]

30 People must of weighed as much as a duck. Therefore they are a witch!

[thebluestofpeas]

Very small rocks!

[Wolffan8]

[xXxDeadAnaxXx]

[Quamlen]

@homey79143 Its probably because your computer sucks.

[wizzturkey]

[hyphens]

Christine O'Donnell needs to be put to trial here

[emk1996]

I think this is my favorite scene ever.

[HowlFromBeyond]

who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?

[Jakedasnake1066]

3:19 A DUCK!

[skinnydipper16]

science!

[VaPeZy]

A duck.

[DasWolfen]

at 2:36 you can notice Michael Palin cracking up, biting the scythe to stop himself from laughing. :)

[HarmKnight]

30 daft pricks watched this video...

[NedraDawn]

And she turned me into a newt!

A newt?

I got better...

(some other guy) BURN HER ANYWAY!!

XD Best part

[NedraDawn]

e a yay qu doe-menay, doe nah eh e chle que ay *hits head with board hard*

I nearly fell out of my chair

[sizzlinwitch]

@NedraDawn Pie Jesu Domine dona eis requiem.

[Mikevozzolo]

Lol I was just watching this movie on tv and my mom called me on the phone right when this scene came on so now I'm re-watching it on youtube!!

[Tyrannigon64]

30 people got turned to newts. They didn't get better.

[DivineTengoku]

30 people are witches!!!!

[RancorsInPinkBikinis]

We watched this for logic class. I love his syllogisms !

[hydraloveingman1]

So he just has scales sitting around for this kind of thing?

[heyyo2468]

what does she say when after they weigh her?

[PacificRunaway]

@heyyo2468 "That's a fair call."

[TabbyChocobo]

@heyyo2468 "It's a fair cop"

[samfinlay1]

Throw her into the pond!

[apokliptico]

30 people studied logical fallacies.

[goldaceofspades]

If you look at the scale after they take her off one side is up in the air and the other is on the ground lol. Its rigged XD. But its still awesome.

[skinnydipper16]

@goldaceofspades well she's not on it anymore, so the duck is heavier than nothing, so it still makes sense

[Greensmurf]

@skinnydipper16 Of course, since nothing also floats on water

[bustract]

ahh...love their logic

[HMS564]

If she weighs the same as a duck then she is made of wood, therefore she's a witch!

Now everything makes sense...forever.

[NinjaFaceJon]

*BURN HER!!!!

[NinjaFaceJon]

2:35 Eric Idle bites the blade to stop himself from laughing lol.

BURN HE

[BenjaminGoose]

This is a good example of "religious science".

[AsAboveSoBelow01]

Christianity summed up.

[bigscarytigermonster]

@AsAboveSoBelow01 More like 21st century society, politics, and then religion.

[Justwannalogon]

"Burn her anyway!"

[dannopper]

Make sense.



[vickylaunter1]

small rocks! LOL. 

[stopthehatechild]

LEAD LEAD!

[thornqueens]

where do we have to laugh on this??'

[masticina]

@thornqueens It lacking american humor.. it doesn't has a laugh track. Okay tip for you how to enjoy Pythian Humor.. take it as face value see it as if it is a fully serious thing. That isn't silly even though it is Silly!

That is the secret sauce :)

[Roarlover34]

"There are ways of telling if she is a witch."

"Do they hurt???"

[samfinlay1]

What r the ppl hittin their face saying???

[furryapolgetics]

@samfinlay1 It's Latin. The Monks sing "Pie Iesu Domine. Dona eis Requiem". It is Latin for "Merciful Lord Jesus. Grant them rest". It's a phrase from the Catholic funeral mass. These is in the time of the Plague, so they are chanting for all the dying guys, like the nine dead Robinson's.

[samfinlay1]

Throw her into the pond!!!

[PBpeanutbutter]

What also floats on water? Bread?! Apples?! Very small rocks?! Cider?! Great Gravy?! Cherries?! Mud?! Churches!? Lead?! 

[luxuriousnax]

It's a fair cop

[Nield4444]

She turned me into a newt!

She turned you into a NEWT?

[DREWVIX1992]

[PedroMM193]

Priests: "Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem."

*Bonk*

I never forget these priests. If they were at the church close by I wouldn't be atheist, lol.

[MoonInShadows]

29 people were turned into newts and weren't made better

[anonUK]

@MoonInShadows

Newts vote on Youtube? You'll be telling me they write comments next. Oh wait...

[dmc967]

At first I didnt notice that bedevere was trying to get a swallow to fly with a coconut... omg i just about died when i first saw it

[FSMonster]

@dmc967

I've never seen it either, not that I remember, but it's so out-of-blue funny.

[HaNSoNnDaDrummer]

@dmc967 I don't understand you, where do you see it? And can you explain please? :D

[uruglytoo]

@HaNSoNnDaDrummer it is at 0:49

[HaNSoNnDaDrummer]

@uruglytoo I see, but I don't understand the clue of the joke :p

[Satarack]

@HaNSoNnDaDrummer

Well, it's reference an earlier scene in the movie, it's a bit complex but...

So coconuts were used for horse sound effects for years in radio, to the point that it was ingrained in the social conscientiousness; so the coconuts themselves are a joke. But a minor character earlier in the movie questions Arthur about them, and Arthur suggests that maybe a swallow carried them when it migrated.

/watch?v=H4_9kDO3q0w

[TheBlaziken437]

Well, we can all thank Abigail Williams for trolling all of Salem back in 1692 for causing this slice of win to spawn.

[THEEVANTHETOON]

At 4:32, notice how the scale is uneven.

[Landwhale456]

[danmanlott]
