The sight of that monk showing off his butt to that lady makes me think about some good stuff...

I remember when I showed this to my friend. She laughed her ass of at 0:22 XD

I thought from 0:20-0:32, it looked funny.

This is one of my favourite parts.

"Oooooh...."

Gets me every time.

@twooffour Nah, that's just Python being funny;)

@TotalBunghole

Heh, and there I thought this was just completely random :D

I mean, I got the part where they hit themselves with the Bibles (or was it pieces of wood?), but not so much this one ;)

Is there a similar historical meaning to the Vikings in the Spam sketch?

Requiem eternam , dona eis Domine. Seculae seculorum.

@TotalBunghole Interesting...

[TotalBunghole]

@mravantgarde123 At the time of the Black Plague (which is pretty prominent in this movie) there was a group of monks who believed that the plague was a punishment by God, and so they physically punished themselves routinely in an attempt to ward off the plague. That's why there are monks in this movie who hit themselves on the head with bibles and jump into water like here.

@thegekoman60 Yep! I think it's the kneeling monk who's whispering to the nun :-)

@Warrior1984100 Oooooh, I thought it was Ancient Greek, just like Romanes eunt domus

[Warrior1984100]

The monks are saying "Our Lord Jesus, let them rest," in Latin.
