• MARVEL REVEALS FIRST GAY TEEN CAPTA AMERI
• KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE & RETUE    IN GENERAL  ADAPTATNAL WIMP: NONE OF THEM ARE THE URAGEO KNIGHTS THEY WERE THE MYTHS, LACKG ANY SUPERPOWERS AND NNG AWAY OM MOST THREATS (EXCEPT LANCELOT). DYSFUNCTN JUNCTN: THE GUYS HAVE SOME PRETTY WEIRD HANG-UPS, OM ROB'S LGHABLE WARDICE TO LANCELOT'S UNNTROLLABLE BERSERKER RAGE. REAL MEN LOVE J: THEY ARE VERY MUCH GOD-FEARG MEN WHO ARE HONORED TO BE GIVEN A MISSN OM GOD.LANCELOT: A BLSG! A BLSG OM THE LORD! GALAHAD: GOD BE PRAISED!    KG ARTHUR ARTHUR PENDRAGON, KG OF THE BRONS"IT IS I, ARTHUR, SON OF UTHER PENDRAGON, OM THE STLE OF CAMELOT. KG OF THE BRONS, FEATER OF THE SAXONS, SOVEREIGN OF ALL ENGLAND!"PLAYED BY: GRAHAM CHAPMANTHE MA CHARACTER. HE IS THE KG OF THE BRONSNOTE IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT STRANGE WOMEN LY' PONDS DISTRIBUT' SWORDS IS NO BASIS FOR A SYSTEM OF ERNMENT. SUPREME EXECUTIVE POWER RIV OM A MANDATE OM THE MASS, NOT OM SOME FARCIL AQUATIC CEREMONY. GOD SENT HIM AND HIS KNIGHTS ON A QUT TO FD THE HOLY GRAIL. ACTS VERY STOIC NSIRG THE AMOUNT OF STRANGENS HAPPENG AROUND HIM. AUTHORY NAME ONLY: FEW BRA REALLY SEE ARTHUR AS KG (OR EVEN KNOW ABOUT HIM), AND THROUGHOUT THE FILM, HE DON'T SEEM TO MAND MUCH RPECT OM THE PEOPLE. THE DENNIS THE PEASANT SCENE EVEN SUGGTS THAT THERE ARE ENTIRE SYSTEMS OF ERNMENT WH HIS KGDOM THAT DON'T REGNIZE HIM. CATCHPHRASE: "JESUS CHRIST!!!" "RUN AWAY!" CONUT SUPERPOWERS: HIS STAT AS KG IS LIMED BY THE FILM'S BUDGET, EXPLAG WHY HE ONLY TRAVELS WH PATSY AND A HANDFUL OF KNIGHTS RECED ON THE SPOT (WH HIS ARMY SHOWG UP ONLY AT THE END) AND WE ONLY ONCE SEE CAMELOT. THE FILM GETS AROUND THIS BY WRG HIM AS AN AUTHORY NAME ONLY. THE COMILLY SER: HIS MA NTRIBUTN TO THE FILM'S HUMOUR IS REMAG PLETELY STRAIGHT-LACED THROUGH ALL THE ABSURD SUATNS THROWN AT HIM AND EVEN OCSNALLY ATTEMPTG TO GET THGS BACK ON A SER TRACK (MOSTLY TO NO AVAIL). COOL CROWN AND COOL HELMET: WEARS A HELMET THAT LOOKS LIKE A CROWN. COOL SWORD: EXLIBUR, OF URSE, WHICH HE THROUGHOUT THE FILM. CROUCHG MORON, HIDN BADASS: PEOPLE DON'T RPECT HIM MUCH, HE TAK THGS WAY TOO SERLY, ONE OF HIS TCHPHRAS IS "RUN AWAY"... AND HE ALSO UTTERLY HUIAT THE BLACK KNIGHT AND OUTSMARTS THE BRIDGEKEEPER. DEADPAN SNARKER: MOSTLY HE PLAYS THE STRAIGHT MAN TO THE RT OF THE MOVIE, BUT HE OCSNALLY GETS A UPLE OF DIGS AT THEM. HANDIPPED BADASS: VERY D EXAMPLE: HE APPEARS TO SUFFER OM DISLCULIA, EXPLAG HIS TROUBLE WH UNTG TO THREE. I AM X, SON OF Y:"I AM ARTHUR, SON OF UTHER PENDRAGON OF THE CASTLE OF CAMELOT. KG OF THE BRONS, FEATER OF THE SAXONS, SOVEREIGN OF ALL ENGLAND." NOT SO STOIC: COMPARED TO OTHER CHARACTERS, WHO HAVE VERY ECCENTRIC PERSONALI, ARTHUR ALWAYS ACTS LIKE PEOPLE WOULD EXPECT OM A KG... UNTIL SOMEONE STARTS POTG OUT THE ABSURDY OF PROCLAIMG ROYAL STAT ON THE BASIS THAT ONE WAS GIVEN A SWORD BY "A WATERY TART". ONLY SANE MAN: IN A MOVIE WHERE ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE WEIRD, ECCENTRIC OR ABSURD TO SOME GREE, ARTHUR IS PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY ONE WHO ISN'T. UNLS YOU UNT HIS REFAL TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS ISN'T A SER MOVIE. RAGE-BREAKG POT: HE TRI BEG POLE TOWARDS DENNIS. IT'S ONLY AFTER DENNIS REF TO JT SHUT UP THAT HE FALLY SNAPS AND STARTS SUBJECTG HIM TO THE VLENCE HERENT THE SYSTEM. THE SMART GUY: MUCH WISER THAN SIR BEDIVERE. VERBAL TIC: HE SAYS "FIVE" STEAD OF "THREE", THEN IS RRECTED BY HIS KNIGHTS. WRONG GENRE SAVVY: ARTHUR IS NVCED THAT HE IS A STRAIGHTFORWARD ARTHURIAN LEGEND, AND NO AMOUNT OF SILLS SHALL NVCE HIM OTHERWISE.TROP ASSOCIATED WH THE SPAMALOT VERSN OF THIS CHARACTER: POLILLY INRRECT HERO: HTED TO HAVE SOME ANTI-SEMIC TENNCI, AS PATSY CLED TO MENTN HE WAS JEWISH ON THE GROUNDS "'S NOT KD OF THG YOU TELL A HEAVILY ARMED CHRISTIAN." UNGRATEFUL BASTARD: COM ACROSS THIS WAY "I'M ALL ALONE", IGNORG THAT PATSY IS BY HIS SI. HE ACTUALLY DO APPRECIATE PATSY, BUT TAK HIM SOMEWHAT FOR GRANTED BEE HE'S "FAY".    PATSY PATSYPLAYED BY: TERRY GILLIAM"IT'S ONLY A MOL."ARTHUR'S FAHFUL SERVANT WHO RRI HIS STUFF AND NUT SHELLS TO SIMULATE THE HOOFBEATS OF ARTHUR'S NONEXISTENT HORSE. BREAKG THE FOURTH WALL: WHEN THE PARTY TO CAMELOT, HE SAYS, "IT'S ONLY A MOL." HUMAN PACK MULE: PARODIED. BIS TOTG A HUGE AMOUNT OF GEAR FOR ARTHUR, HE ALSO MIMICS THE SOUNDS OF HOOFBEATS WHEN THEY TRAVEL. THE QUIET ONE: HE ONLY GETS ONE LE THE MOVIE. SIKICK: TO ARTHUR. MOSTLY ACTS AS HIS ASSISTANT AND IS HIS ONLY PANN AT THE START OF THE MOVIE. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MOE?: DISAPPEARS AFTER THE ENUNTER WH TIM.TROP ASSOCIATED WH THE SPAMALOT VERSN OF THIS CHARACTER: ASCEND EXTRA: HE ONLY HAD TWO L THE ORIGAL. HERE, HE TAK BEVERE'S PLACE AS ARTHUR'S CLOST NFIDANT, GETS TO LEAD "ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SI OF LIFE", AND IS THE KEY TO GETTG THE GRAIL. ANTI-NIHILIST: HE CHEERS ARTHUR UP WH "ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SI OF LIFE", A SONG ABOUT HOW LIFE IS POTLS AND EVEN PAFUL, BUT 'S MORE FUN TO BE OPTIMISTIC ANYWAY. BUTT-MONKEY: CONSTANTLY IGNORED AND TAKEN FOR GRANTED BY ARTHUR. COMPOSE CHARACTER: BEVERE IS STILL THIS VERSN, BUT PATSY TAK HIS TRA OF BEG ARTHUR'S RIGHT-HAND-MAN AND NFIDANT. HYPERPETENT SIKICK: TO ARTHUR. RACE LIFT: BEG A SERVANT TO KG ARTHUR, N BE ASSUMED THE ORIGAL VERSN HE WAS PROBABLY AN ANGLO-SAXON OR CELTIC CHRISTIAN. IN SPAMALOT, HE'S HALF-JEWISH. HE DIDN'T TELL ARTHUR AT FIRST BEE, "IT'S NOT THE KD OF THG YOU TELL A HEAVILY-ARMED CHRISTIAN. THE REVEAL: HE'S JEWISH.    BEDIVERE SIR BEDIVERE THE WISEPLAYED BY: TERRY JONTHE WIST OF THE KNIGHTS. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT STILL DON'T LEAVE ENOUGH WISDOM TO BE TECTED WHOUT THE AID OF POWERFUL STMENTS. CHARACTER TICS: HE ALWAYS HOLDS HIS VISOR UP, SPE BEG ABLE TO LOOK PERFECTLY THROUGH . CLOUDCUCKOOLANR: DPE BEG TREATED AS THE SMART GUY, HE IS MORE ACCURATELY THIS TROPE, MOST OF HIS LEARNGS BASED ON INSANE TROLL LOGIC. COOL HELMET: THE VISOR SEEMS TO GET THE WAY, BUT STILL LOOKS NEAT AND KNIGHTLY. DIDN'T THK THIS THROUGH: THE ONE TIME HE UP WH A PLAN (THE TROJAN RABB), 'S ACTUALLY SOMEWHAT NOT ONLY DID HE NOT NSIR THE FRENCH WOULD TAPULT OUT OF THE STLE BEFORE THE TEND NIGHTTIME ATTACK TO TAKE THEM BY SURPRISE AND UNARMED, HE FOT THAT LANCELOT, GALAHAD, AND HIMSELF WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SI THE THG FOR THE PLAN TO WORK AT ALL. (GOOD THG THEY WEREN'T.) THE FOOL: DPE HIS HERENT IDCY, HE STILL MANAG TO SURVIVE THROUGH THE END. INFORMED ATTRIBUTE: PLAYED FOR LGHS. HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE WISE, BUT MAK VERY BIG MISTAK AND ACTS LIKE A FOOL.BEDIVERE: AND THAT, MY LIEGE, IS HOW WE KNOW THE EARTH TO BE BANANA-SHAPED. INSANE TROLL LOGIC: EMPLOYS THIS TO HELP VILLAGERS EXPOSE A WCH. IT WENT LIKE THIS: WCH BURN. WOOD ALSO BURNS. WOOD FLOATS. DUCKS ALSO FLOAT. SO IF SOMEONE WEIGHS THE SAME AS A DUCK, SHE IS MA OF WOOD AND IS THEREFORE A WCH. AMGLY, THIS LOGIC ACTUALLY WORKS AS THE WOMAN QUTN DO ED WEIGH THE SAME AS A DUCK AND TURNS OUT TO BE A WCH AFTER ALL.WCH: IT'S A FAIR P. THE LANCER: ACPANI ARTHUR THROUGHOUT THE FILM AND SEEMS TO BE HIS RIGHT HAND MAN. RIGHT FOR THE WRONG REASONS: DPE THE ABOVE INSANE TROLL LOGIC, EVEN HE REGNIZ THAT "BUILDG A BRIDGE OUT OF HER" IS A POOR TT TO SEE IF SOMEONE IS A WCH. WHY? BEE THE TT IS TO SEE IF THE PERSON IS MA OUT OF WOOD, BUT YOU ULD ALSO BUILD A BRIDGE OUT OF STONE. THE SMART GUY: EXPLICLY STATED TO BE THE WIST OF THE BUNCH.TROP ASSOCIATED WH THE SPAMALOT VERSN OF THIS CHARACTER: DEMOTED TO EXTRA: HIS ROLE OF ARTHUR'S NFIDANT IS GIVEN TO PATSY, BUT HE'S STILL THE PLAY. GASS HOLE: IN THIS VERSN, HIS HONORIFIC IS NOT "THE WISE", BUT "THE STRANGELY FLATULENT". HOWEVER, WE DON'T REALLY SEE E UP THAT HE FARTS/BURPS A LOT THE PLOT.    LANCELOT SIR LANCELOT THE BRAVEPLAYED BY: JOHN CLEEAN AX-CRAZY KNIGHT. HE ALWAYS TRI TO SOLVE HIS PROBLEMS THROUGH VLENCE. IS ALSO VERY DRAMATIC HIS WAY OF ACTG. ADAPTATNAL NATNALY: WAS FRENCH SOURCE MATERIALS (OWG TO HAVG BEEN CREATED BY A FRENCH WRER), BUT HERE HE DON'T EVEN HAVE AN OUT-RRRRAJEO AK-SENT! AFFABLY EVIL: HE'S QUE CHARMG WHEN HE'S NOT THE MIDDLE OF A KILLG SPREE. ALWAYS SAVE THE GIRL: RH OFF TO RCUE SOMEONE ONCE HE RECEIV A LL FOR HELP. ONCE HE FDS THE PERSON DISTRS IS A MAN AND NOT A WOMAN AS HE EXPECTED, HE'S FLABBERGASTED. NOT ANGRY OR READY TO RAISE HELL ABOUT , JT UTTERLY STUMPED AND UNSURE WHAT TO DO NEXT. AMBIGUOLY GAY: LANCELOT'S SEXUALY IS OPEN TO TERPRETATN DUE TO RULE OF FUNNY. HE'S VERY IMMUNE TO THE CHARMS OF THE CASTLE ANTHRAX "TEMPTRS," AND UNNVCGLY NI GALAHAD'S ACCATNS THAT HE'S GAY, BUT WHEN THE DISTRSED DAMSEL HE WAS EXPECTG TO RCUE TURNS OUT TO BE A PRCE NAMED HERBERT, HE'S QUE DISTURBED. IT'S HARD TO TELL IF HE'S A REPRSED HOMOSEXUAL OR JT A HETEROSEXUAL WHO'S REALLY TO THE WHOLE "CHIVALRY AND PURY" THG. APOLOGETIC ATTACKER: HE DO REGRET AND SCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR KILLG A WHOLE BUNCH OF NOCENT WEDDG GUTS AND HAPLS GUARDS (AND THEN ALSO KILLG SEVERAL MORE OF THE SURVIVORS WHEN THEY E AFTER HIM). POOR GUY JT N'T HELP HIMSELF. AX-CRAZY: WHEN SOMETHG PROVOK HIM TO FIGHT, THERE IS NOTHG STOPPG HIM OM SLGHTERG EVERYONE ON SIGHT. EVEN WEDDG GUTS HAD TO DIE. BADASS CAPE: HE IS ONE-MAN ARMY WHEN HE GETS RILED UP. THE BERSERKER: IT DON'T TAKE A WHOLE LOT TO SET HIM OFF, AND ONCE HE GETS GOG HE'LL KILL PEOPLE DISCRIMATELY, NO MATTER IF THEY'RE PUTTG UP A FIGHT OR NOT. WHICH IS ACTUALLY QUE ACCURATE TO HIS CHARACTER OM ARTHURIAN MYTH. THE BIG GUY: THE FIGHTER OF THE ROUND TABLE. BIG OL' EYEBROWS: HE IS JOHN CLEE, YOU KNOW. BOISTERO BISER: HE'S MOSTLY JOLLY AND GOOD-NATURED. JT DON'T GET TOO CLOSE WHEN HE'S AD-SET ON A MURRO RAMPAGE; BEG AN NOCENT BYSTANR WILL NOT SAVE YOU. CHASTE HERO: UNLIKE SIR GALAHAD, LANCELOT APPEARS TO BE PLETELY UNAFFECTED BY FEME WIL. WHILE DRAGGG OFF GALAHAD OM CASTLE ANTHRAX, HE'S ACCED OF BEG GAY. EASILY FIVEN: SUBVERTED. HE BURSTS TO SWAMP CASTLE, KILLG MULTIPLE GUARDS AND UNARMED WEDDG GUTS. BUT WHEN THE KG OF SWAMP CASTLE REALIZ THE POTENTIAL OF ARRANGG A MARRIAGE WH A KNIGHT OF CAMELOT, HE STANTLY FIV LANCELOT. THE WEDDG GUTS, HOWEVER, AREN'T SO FIVG. ONLY WHEN THE ALLEGEDLY AD PRCE HERBERT PROV TO BE ALIVE DO THE WEDDG GUTS FET ABOUT LANCELOT. EVIL LGH: CACKL WILDLY WHILE HACKG HIS WAY THROUGH FENCELS WEDDG GUTS. FAKE SHEMP: LANCELOT WEARS A BLACK AND WHE GREAT HELM THE SCEN WH TIM THE ENCHANTER, AND ONLY TAK OFF AFTER TIM LEAV. SCE TIM THE ENCHANTER WAS ALSO PLAYED BY JOHN CLEE, A BODY DOUBLE HAD TO BE ED. HEROIC COMEDIC SOCPATH: TO PUT BLUNTLY, HE STORMS A WEDDG AND MURRS MOST OF THE GUTS JT BEE HE THKS A PRCS IS DANGER, AND TRI TO LEAVE AWKWARDLY WHEN HE REALIZ THAT WAS A MAN WHO SENT THE CRY FOR HELP. KNIGHT IN SHG ARMOUR: SUBVERTED — HE'S CERTALY A BRAVE KNIGHT, AND HE'S EVEN AFFABLE ENOUGH AS LONG AS HE ISN'T RILED UP... BUT, AS IS QUICKLY REVEALED, HE IS VERY MUCH A VLENT, HOMICIDAL MANIAC WHO KILLS PEOPLE WHOUT A SEND THOUGHT. LANTERN JAW OF JTICE: AS BEFTG A CHIVALRO KNIGHT, WHICH HE BELIEV HIMSELF TO BE. LARGE HAM: TENDS TO BURST TO DRAMATIC SPEECH DURG HIS 'HEROIC RCUE MISSN' AT SWAMP CASTLE. LEEROY JENKS: HE HAS EXACTLY ONE STRATEGY: CHARGE RIGHT AHEAD WHOUT THKG. IT WORKS, TOO — HE'S ONE OF THE FEW CHARACTERS WHO ACTUALLY SURVIV TO THE END. IT PROBABLY HELPED THAT HIS ONLY "OPPONENTS" WERE FENCELS WEDDG GUTS AND ELS GUARDS WHO DON'T EVEN TRY TO FIGHT HIM. MY GIRL IS NOT A SLUT: AS A TRADNALLY CHIVALRO KNIGHT, HIS ATTU TOWARDS WOMEN IS MIXED. HE SPIS THE "TEMPTRS" OF CASTLE ANTHRAX, BUT IS EAGER TO HEROILLY RCUE (AND PRUMABLY FALL LOVE WH) WHAT HE ASSUM TO BE A VIRTUO YOUNG LADY. WHEN HE REALIZ THE "LADY" QUTN IS A MAN, HE'S RATHER PUT OFF. ONE-MAN ARMY: SLGHTERS HALF OF AN ENTIRE STLE FULL OF GUARDS TO SAVE, ERM, THE PRCE. ALTHOUGH ADMTEDLY THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO FIGHT BACK. TOKEN EVIL TEAMMATE: TO THE KNIGHTS. HE MURRS A LOT OF NOCENT PEOPLE ATTEMPTG TO RCUE (WHAT HE THKS IS) A DAMSEL DISTRS. UNSTOPPABLE RAGE: HE EVEN LAMPSHAS TO THE KG OF SWAMP CASTLE:"YOU SEE, WHEN I'M THIS IDM, I SOMETIM GET SORT OF, ER, RRIED AWAY..." WRONG GENRE SAVVY: MUCH LIKE KG ARTHUR, HE'S NVCED THAT HE'S THE PROTAGONIST OF A CHIVALRIC ROMANCE, WHICH, OF URSE, VOLV SLGHTERG ONE'S WAY THROUGH STL TO RCUE IMPRISONED MAINS. UNFORTUNATELY FOR HIM, THE "MAIN" THIS SE IS A YOUNG MAN.TROP ASSOCIATED WH THE SPAMALOT VERSN OF THIS CHARACTER: ADAPTATNAL NICE GUY: HE'S JT AS MUCH AN AX-CRAZY BLOOD KNIGHT AS, IF NOT MORE THAN, THE OG MOVIE. BUT WHEN HERBERT'S FATHER SENTIALLY TRI TO MURR HIM, RATHER THAN REGARDG WH DIFFERENCE, HE'S DIGNANT AND LLS HIM OUT. ADAPTATNAL SEXUALY: IN THE PYTHON MOVIE, HE WAS AMBIGUOLY GAY AT THE MOST. HERE, HE HAS A WHOLE SONG DITED TO HIM G OUT. ADAPTATNAL VILLAY: HE'S BED WH THE PEASANT WHO KILLS THE OLD MAN, GIVG HIM AN ACT OF PREMEDATED MALICE ADDN TO HIS UAL BERSERKER RAGE. THE CHOS EVEN LLS HIM OUT ON . COMG-OUT STORY: THE "TALE OF SIR LANCELOT" IS TURNED TO THIS. COMPOSE CHARACTER: WH THE MAN WHO KILLED THE OLD MAN DURG THE "BRG OUT YOUR DEAD" SEQUENCE. GYM BUNNY: "YOU N ALL FD HIM/PUMPG AT THE GYM/AT THE CAMELOT YMCA!" MANLY GAY: HE LOV SWORDFIGHTG, BATTLE, WORKG OUT, AND HERBERT. PLATONIC LIFE-PARTNERS: HE DON'T APPEAR TO HAVE ANY ROMANTIC ATTRACTN TO ROB, BUT IS QUE FOND OF THE GUY AND IMMEDIATELY WANTS TO BE HIS IEND. SENSIVE GUY AND MANLY MAN: THE MANLY MAN TO BOTH ROB'S AND HERBERT'S SENSIVE GUY. STRAIGHT GAY: HE'S A CRASS, MCULAR, CHIVALRO KNIGHT. ALTHOUGH AFTER HE OUT, HE DO EXHIB SOME "MACHO" GAY STEREOTYP. TRANSPARENT CLOSET: HE HIMSELF IS THE ONLY ONE ACTUALLY SURPRISED WHEN HE FALLY OUT.KG ARTHUR: I THOUGHT YOU WERE A FAIRY?LADY OF THE LAKE: OH NO, THAT'S LANCELOT.    GALAHAD SIR GALAHAD THE PURE/CHASTEPLAYED BY: MICHAEL PALTHIS KNIGHT DO NOT DO MUCH THE FILM. LIKE HIS TLE SAYS, HE IS A CHASTE KNIGHT. CHASTE HERO: HE TRI TO BE THIS, BUT AFTER BEG CASTLE ANTHRAX FOR AROUND 10 MUT, HE GIV UP. DEADPAN SNARKER: HE'S EHER THIS OR A CAPTA OBV. IT'S NOT ALWAYS THAT EASY TO TELL."WHAT A STRANGE PERSON." EATG THE EYE CANDY: WHAT HE ENDS UP DOG AT THE CASTLE ANTHRAX, AND SOON STARTS GIVG TO TEMPTATN. EPIC FAIL: WHEN THE MAN OM SCENE 24 ASKS HIM WHAT HIS FAVORE LOUR IS, HE STILL MANAG TO GET WRONG. INRPTIBLE PURE PURENS: PARODIED. HE TRI TO RIST THE ALLURE OF ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY NYMPHOMANIAC BLONS AND BT BETWEEN THE AG OF 16 TO 19, BUT EVENTUALLY STARTS TO SUCCUMB TO THEIR TEMPTATNS AND ACTUALLY CIS TO GIVE , JT AS LANCELOT AND DRAGS HIM AWAY. HE THEN BEGS TO BE ALLOWED TO GO BACK AND FACE THE "PERIL."MSY HAIR--> TOO DUMB TO LIVE: HIS ABILY TO CI WHETHER BLUE OR YELLOW IS HIS FAVOURE LOUR LEADS TO RATHER FATAL RULTS. UNRELATED THE ADAPTATN: MOST ARTHURIAN STORI PICTED GALAHAD AS LANCELOT'S SON, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. IN THIS FILM, THEY'RE NOT BLOOD-RELATED. GALAHAD IS EVEN THE SAME GENERATN AS LANCELOT. UNWANTED RCUE: PLAYED FOR LGHS. HE'S QUE RELUCTANT TO BE RCUED BY LANCELOT OM THE CASTLE ANTHRAX. UPPER-CLASS TW: MICHAEL PAL HAS ADMTED TO PLAYG HIM AS ONE, SPEAKG A "POSH" ACCENT AND HAVG A TENNCY TOWARDS COMILLY MISSG THE POT.TROP ASSOCIATED WH THE SPAMALOT VERSN OF THIS CHARACTER: COMPOSE CHARACTER: HE'S BED WH DENNIS THE PEASANT. SPARED BY THE ADAPTATN: HE MAK TO THE END OF THE PLAY STEAD OF BEG THROWN TO THE P.    ROB SIR ROB THE NOT-QUE-SO-BRAVE-AS-SIR-LANCELOT"YOU T! I SOILED MY ARMOR, I WAS SO SRED!"PLAYED BY: ERIC IDLESIR ROB CLAIMS TO BE VERY BRAVE. HE ALSO HAS A BAND OF MSTRELS SGG ABOUT HIS BRAVERY... BUT IS AN ENORMO WARD. HE IS FULLY SIGNATED AS "SIR ROB THE NOT-QUE-SO-BRAVE-AS-SIR-LANCELOT WHO HAD NEARLY FOUGHT THE DRAGON OF ANGNOR, WHO HAD NEARLY STOOD UP TO THE VIC CHICKEN OF BRISTOL AND WHO HAD PERSONALLY WET HIMSELF AT THE BATTLE OF BADON HILL". ACCINTAL HERO: SAV ARTHUR AND BEVERE OM THE KNIGHTS WHO SAY NI BY UTTERG THEIR ACHILL' HEEL (THE VERY MON WORD '') WHOUT REALIZG . ANIMAL MOTIFS: THE SIGIL ON HIS SHIELD AND SURAT IS A CHICKEN. BRG MY BROWN PANTS: HE IS KNOWN FOR PERSONALLY WETTG HIMSELF AT THE BATTLE OF BADON HILL. HE THEN SOILS HIMSELF WHEN THE KILLER RABB APPEARS, AND AGA WHEN KILLS BORS. CANON FOREIGNER: THERE IS NO "SIR ROB" THE ARTHURIAN MYTHOS. COWARDLY LN: HE MAY N THE FACE OF DANGER, BUT HE ALSO MANAG TO SURVIVE THE BATTLE AGAST THE KILLER RABB OF CAERBANNOG. DEADPAN SNARKER: FOR SOMEONE SO WARDLY, HE SURE N BE SARSTIC WHEN THE MOOD TAK HIM. DEATH BY IRONY: DI AT THE BRIDGE OF ATH WHEN UGHT WH A QUTN HE DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO, AFTER HE CIS 'S TOO EASY TO NOT GET SRED BY, SOMETHG HE'S DONE THE WHOLE FILM. FAKE SHEMP: SCE BROTHER MAYNARD IS ALSO PLAYED BY ERIC IDLE, THE SCENE THE VE WHEN THE TWO ARE THE SAME AME, ROB IS PLAYED BY A BODY DOUBLE WHO IS EHER HIDG BEHD ANOTHER KNIGHT OR FACG AWAY OM THE MERA, EEG UP ERIC IDLE TO PLAY BROTHER MAYNARD. INFORMED ATTRIBUTE: AN UNIVERSE EXAMPLE. HE IS CLAIMED TO BE THE BRAVE SIR ROB, BUT NS AWAY OM EVERY SIGN OF DANGER. BUT THIS DO NOT STOP HIS MSTRELS OM SGG HOW BRAVELY HE RAN AWAY. LOVABLE COWARD: "WHEN DANGER REARED S UGLY HEAD, HE BRAVELY TURNED HIS TAIL AND FLED..." LUCKILY, MY SHIELD WILL PROTECT ME: IT'S NEARLY AS BIG AS HIS BODY. ALL THE BETTER TO WER BEHD. MANLY FACIAL HAIR: SUBVERTED FOR LGHS - HIS PORNSTACHE IS MUCH MORE MANLY THAN HIM. MIL GLORS: HE HAS A GROUP OF MSTRELS FOLLOW HIM AROUND TO NSTANTLY BOAST ABOUT HIS SKILLS, AND HE ALWAYS TRI TO LOOK LIKE A BRAVE AND HEROIC KNIGHT. TOO BAD HE ISN'T.TROP ASSOCIATED WH THE SPAMALOT VERSN OF THIS CHARACTER: ADAPTATNAL BADASS: A D EXAMPLE AS HE'S STILL WARDLY BUT THIS VERSN, HE ACTUALLY SLEW THE "VIC CHICKEN OF BRISTOL", RATHER THAN ALMOST STANDG UP TO . ADAPTATNAL INTELLIGENCE: HE HAS ENCYCLOPEDIC KNOWLEDGE ABOUT BROADWAY AND GENERAL A MORE TELLECTUAL AIR ABOUT HIM THAN THE MOVIE; URTY OF THE ROLE BEG ORIGATED BY DAVID HY PIERCE. BRG MY BROWN PANTS: MENTNS ONE OF THE DRAWBACKS OF BEG A KNIGHT IS SOILG HIS PANTS OUT OF FEAR. THE DANDY: HE'S VERY NEAT AND LOV SGG AND DANCG. CAMP STRAIGHT: TO NTRAST LANCELOT, ROB LOV MIL THEATRE, HE'S VERY NEAT AND PROPER, AND HIS ORIGAL BROADWAY ACTOR WAS GAY. HOWEVER, HE FAWNS OVER THE "NGHTY GIRLS NASTY TIGHTS" DURG HIS NUMBER. HETEROSEXUAL LIFE-PARTNERS: HE AND LANCE PROMISE TO "REMA GOOD CHUMS" AND LOOK OUT FOR ONE ANOTHER. LANCELOT IS GAY BUT APPEARS TO HAVE NO NON-PLATONIC FEELGS FOR ROB SPECIFILLY. MORALY CHA: AFTER LANCELOT SGS ABOUT HOW MUCH HE LOV KILLG, HE VOWS TO BE THIS:LANCELOT: "TO KILL/FOR WILL/IT GIV ME SUCH A THRILL!" ROB: "TO SG/AND DANCE/AND KEEP AN EYE ON LANCE!" SENSIVE GUY AND MANLY MAN: "NOT YET DEAD" TABLISH HIM AND LANCELOT AS THIS PAIRG, RPECTIVELY. SPARED BY THE ADAPTATN: SURVIV TO THE END OF THE PLAY, AND FDS HIS "GRAIL" (HAPPY ENDG) BY BEG A MIL THEATRE PERFORMER. WRONG LE OF WORK: HE WANTS TO BE A KNIGHT, BUT HIS TALENTS ARE MUCH MORE SUED FOR MIL THEATRE.    SIR NOT-APPEARG-IN-THIS-FILM SIR NOT-APPEARG-IN-THIS-FILMTHIS IS NOT A REAL CHARACTER, BUT MORE OF A GAG WHEN THE NARRATOR TRODUC THE KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE. WHEN HIS PICTURE IS SHOWN, HE APPEARS AS A BABY WEARG A CHAMAIL IF THAT'S TOO LARGE — THIS IS ACTUALLY MICHAEL PAL'S SON, WILLIAM PAL. HE IS THE TROPE NAMER TO SIR NOT-APPEARG--THIS-TRAILER AND LADY NOT-APPEARG--THIS-GAME. ADAPTED OUT: A PARODY OF THE NCEPT, WH A NAME THAT WOULDN'T MAKE SENSE THE HYPOTHETIL WORK THAT TRODUCED HIM. EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS ON THE T: HE'S APTLY NAMED BEE HE'S NOT APPEARG THIS FILM. THE LAW OF CONSERVATN OF DETAIL: PARODIED. NORMALLY IF THE CHARACTER DO NOT APPEAR A FILM, THERE'S NO NEED TO MENTN HIM AT ALL. NOT SO FOR MONTY PYTHON. WE HARDLY KNEW YE: GONE AS SOON AS HE'S MENTNED. HEY, THEY SAID HE WOULDN'T APPEAR.TROP ASSOCIATED WH THE SPAMALOT VERSN OF THIS CHARACTER: ADAPTATNAL NAME CHANGE: BEE THIS IS A BROADWAY MIL AND NOT A MOVIE, HIS NAME IS NOW "SIR NOT-APPEARG-IN-THIS-SHOW".    ROB'S MSTRELS SIR ROB'S MSTRELSPLAYED BY: NEIL INN (LEAD MSTREL)A QUARTET OF MSTRELS WHO ACPANY SIR ROB WHEREVER HE GO AND SG ABOUT HIM. LATER, ARTHUR AND THE KNIGHTS ARE FORCED TO EAT THEM. AND THERE WAS MUCH REJOICG. (YAAAAAY.) AND THERE WAS MUCH REJOICG: VOKEDTROPE NAMER AFTER THE KNIGHTS ARE FORCED TO EAT THEM. THE BARD: A WHOLE GROUP OF THEM, ONE OF WHOM SGS "BRAVE SIR ROB RAN AWAY". GO, YE HERO, GO AND DIE: THEIR FIRST SONG IS ABOUT ALL THE CREASGLY HORRIFIC FORMS OF ATH SIR ROB FAC ON HIS QUT, UNTIL HE FIRMLY ASKS THEM TO STOP. NO PARTY LIKE A DONNER PARTY: WHEN A PARTICULARLY HARD WTER STRIK, ARTHUR AND HIS KNIGHTS ARE FORCED TO EAT THEM. SERVILE SNARKER: THE LEAD MSTREL TURNS HIS LYRICS TO MORE SOMETHG ROGATORY AFTER ROB WARDLY NS AWAY OM THE THREE-HEAD KNIGHT. IT'S UNCLEAR IF HE'S SNARKG OR IS EARNTLY SPIRED BY HOW BRAVELY ROB RAN AWAY. THE SMURFETTE PRCIPLE: ONE OF THE MSTRELS IS THE ONLY WOMAN THE GRAIL-SEEKG PARTY. TAGALONG CHRONICLER: PARODIED. THEY FOLLOW ROB AROUND AND MAKE UP IMPROMPTU SONGS ABOUT HIM. HOWEVER, SCE HE'S A CHRONIC WARD, THEIR TASK OFTEN PROV QUE DIFFICULT. THE VOICELS: THREE OF THE MSTRELS GET NO L AT ALL. JTIFIED, SCE THEY ALL PLAY WD STMENTS WHENEVER THEY ARE SEEN. WANRG MSTREL: THEY FOLLOW SIR ROB ON HIS TRAVELS AS HE SEARCH FOR THE HOLY GRAIL.    GAWA, ECTOR & BORS SIR GAWA, SIR ECTOR, & SIR BORSPLAYED BY: TERRY GILLIAM (SIR BORS)THREE KNIGHTS WHO APPEAR AFTER THE YEAR-LONG TIME SKIP. THEY SERVE LTLE PURPOSE BEYOND NNON FODR FOR THE KILLER RABB. DEATH BY ADAPTATN: BORS DI THE MOVIE, WHEREAS HE SURVIV THE ORIGAL ARTHURIAN LEGEND. RED SHIRT: THEY APPEAR SUDNLY AND WHOUT ANY TRODUCTN BEFORE THE RABB OF CAERBANNOG AND THEY ARE PROMPTLY DISPATCHED. REMEMBER THE NEW GUY?: NOBODY ACKNOWLEDG THAT THREE PREVLY UNSEEN KNIGHTS ARE PART OF THE GROUP. ALTHOUGH TO BE FAIR, THEY SHOWED UP POST TIME SKIP. TEMPTG FATE: "ONE RABB STEW ' RIGHT UP!" THEY ARE PROMPTLY KILLED BY THE RABB    BROTHER MAYNARD BROTHER MAYNARDPLAYED BY: ERIC IDLEA MONK AND SCHOLAR. HE GIV THE HOLY HAND GRENA TO THE KNIGHTS WHEN THEY NEED A WAY TO FEAT THE KILLER RABB. HE ALSO TRANSLAT THE N SI THE CAVE OF CAERBANNOG BUT IS EATEN BY THE BLACK BEAST OF AAARRRRGGGHHH. CUNNG LGUIST: AS THE ONLY ONE WHO N READ ARAMAIC, HE TRANSLAT THE N FOR THE KNIGHTS. MR. EXPOSN: HIS MA ROLE THE PLOT IS TO TELL THE KNIGHTS THEY N FD THE GRAIL THE STLE OF AAARRRRGGGHHH. REMEMBER THE NEW GUY?: LIKE GAWA, ECTOR AND BORS, NO ONE NOTIC HOW HE'S NEVER BEEN SEEN THE PARTY BEFORE, THOUGH AGA THIS WAS AFTER THE TIME SKIP. THE SMART GUY: THE SCHOLAR OF THE GROUP.

SOME, HOWEVER, BELIEVE THAT STRANGE WOMEN LYG PONDS DISTRIBUTG SWORDS IS NO BASIS FOR A SYSTEM OF ERNMENT.

MARVEL REVEALS FIRST GAY TEEN CAPTA AMERI

But every Sunday night for years, my fay unknowgly tuned to some of the most homoerotic sh I have ever seen.

BBC’s Merl, a show about a gay ltle wizard and his blon bisexual jock boyiend. That don’t sound very gay at all, you might be sffg!

KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE & RETUE    IN GENERAL  ADAPTATNAL WIMP: NONE OF THEM ARE THE URAGEO KNIGHTS THEY WERE THE MYTHS, LACKG ANY SUPERPOWERS AND NNG AWAY OM MOST THREATS (EXCEPT LANCELOT). DYSFUNCTN JUNCTN: THE GUYS HAVE SOME PRETTY WEIRD HANG-UPS, OM ROB'S LGHABLE WARDICE TO LANCELOT'S UNNTROLLABLE BERSERKER RAGE. REAL MEN LOVE J: THEY ARE VERY MUCH GOD-FEARG MEN WHO ARE HONORED TO BE GIVEN A MISSN OM GOD.LANCELOT: A BLSG! A BLSG OM THE LORD! GALAHAD: GOD BE PRAISED!    KG ARTHUR ARTHUR PENDRAGON, KG OF THE BRONS"IT IS I, ARTHUR, SON OF UTHER PENDRAGON, OM THE STLE OF CAMELOT. KG OF THE BRONS, FEATER OF THE SAXONS, SOVEREIGN OF ALL ENGLAND!"PLAYED BY: GRAHAM CHAPMANTHE MA CHARACTER. HE IS THE KG OF THE BRONSNOTE IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT STRANGE WOMEN LY' PONDS DISTRIBUT' SWORDS IS NO BASIS FOR A SYSTEM OF ERNMENT. SUPREME EXECUTIVE POWER RIV OM A MANDATE OM THE MASS, NOT OM SOME FARCIL AQUATIC CEREMONY. GOD SENT HIM AND HIS KNIGHTS ON A QUT TO FD THE HOLY GRAIL. ACTS VERY STOIC NSIRG THE AMOUNT OF STRANGENS HAPPENG AROUND HIM. AUTHORY NAME ONLY: FEW BRA REALLY SEE ARTHUR AS KG (OR EVEN KNOW ABOUT HIM), AND THROUGHOUT THE FILM, HE DON'T SEEM TO MAND MUCH RPECT OM THE PEOPLE. THE DENNIS THE PEASANT SCENE EVEN SUGGTS THAT THERE ARE ENTIRE SYSTEMS OF ERNMENT WH HIS KGDOM THAT DON'T REGNIZE HIM. CATCHPHRASE: "JESUS CHRIST!!!" "RUN AWAY!" CONUT SUPERPOWERS: HIS STAT AS KG IS LIMED BY THE FILM'S BUDGET, EXPLAG WHY HE ONLY TRAVELS WH PATSY AND A HANDFUL OF KNIGHTS RECED ON THE SPOT (WH HIS ARMY SHOWG UP ONLY AT THE END) AND WE ONLY ONCE SEE CAMELOT. THE FILM GETS AROUND THIS BY WRG HIM AS AN AUTHORY NAME ONLY. THE COMILLY SER: HIS MA NTRIBUTN TO THE FILM'S HUMOUR IS REMAG PLETELY STRAIGHT-LACED THROUGH ALL THE ABSURD SUATNS THROWN AT HIM AND EVEN OCSNALLY ATTEMPTG TO GET THGS BACK ON A SER TRACK (MOSTLY TO NO AVAIL). COOL CROWN AND COOL HELMET: WEARS A HELMET THAT LOOKS LIKE A CROWN. COOL SWORD: EXLIBUR, OF URSE, WHICH HE THROUGHOUT THE FILM. CROUCHG MORON, HIDN BADASS: PEOPLE DON'T RPECT HIM MUCH, HE TAK THGS WAY TOO SERLY, ONE OF HIS TCHPHRAS IS "RUN AWAY"... AND HE ALSO UTTERLY HUIAT THE BLACK KNIGHT AND OUTSMARTS THE BRIDGEKEEPER. DEADPAN SNARKER: MOSTLY HE PLAYS THE STRAIGHT MAN TO THE RT OF THE MOVIE, BUT HE OCSNALLY GETS A UPLE OF DIGS AT THEM. HANDIPPED BADASS: VERY D EXAMPLE: HE APPEARS TO SUFFER OM DISLCULIA, EXPLAG HIS TROUBLE WH UNTG TO THREE. I AM X, SON OF Y:"I AM ARTHUR, SON OF UTHER PENDRAGON OF THE CASTLE OF CAMELOT. KG OF THE BRONS, FEATER OF THE SAXONS, SOVEREIGN OF ALL ENGLAND." NOT SO STOIC: COMPARED TO OTHER CHARACTERS, WHO HAVE VERY ECCENTRIC PERSONALI, ARTHUR ALWAYS ACTS LIKE PEOPLE WOULD EXPECT OM A KG... UNTIL SOMEONE STARTS POTG OUT THE ABSURDY OF PROCLAIMG ROYAL STAT ON THE BASIS THAT ONE WAS GIVEN A SWORD BY "A WATERY TART". ONLY SANE MAN: IN A MOVIE WHERE ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE WEIRD, ECCENTRIC OR ABSURD TO SOME GREE, ARTHUR IS PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY ONE WHO ISN'T. UNLS YOU UNT HIS REFAL TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS ISN'T A SER MOVIE. RAGE-BREAKG POT: HE TRI BEG POLE TOWARDS DENNIS. IT'S ONLY AFTER DENNIS REF TO JT SHUT UP THAT HE FALLY SNAPS AND STARTS SUBJECTG HIM TO THE VLENCE HERENT THE SYSTEM. THE SMART GUY: MUCH WISER THAN SIR BEDIVERE. VERBAL TIC: HE SAYS "FIVE" STEAD OF "THREE", THEN IS RRECTED BY HIS KNIGHTS. WRONG GENRE SAVVY: ARTHUR IS NVCED THAT HE IS A STRAIGHTFORWARD ARTHURIAN LEGEND, AND NO AMOUNT OF SILLS SHALL NVCE HIM OTHERWISE.TROP ASSOCIATED WH THE SPAMALOT VERSN OF THIS CHARACTER: POLILLY INRRECT HERO: HTED TO HAVE SOME ANTI-SEMIC TENNCI, AS PATSY CLED TO MENTN HE WAS JEWISH ON THE GROUNDS "'S NOT KD OF THG YOU TELL A HEAVILY ARMED CHRISTIAN." UNGRATEFUL BASTARD: COM ACROSS THIS WAY "I'M ALL ALONE", IGNORG THAT PATSY IS BY HIS SI. HE ACTUALLY DO APPRECIATE PATSY, BUT TAK HIM SOMEWHAT FOR GRANTED BEE HE'S "FAY".    PATSY PATSYPLAYED BY: TERRY GILLIAM"IT'S ONLY A MOL."ARTHUR'S FAHFUL SERVANT WHO RRI HIS STUFF AND NUT SHELLS TO SIMULATE THE HOOFBEATS OF ARTHUR'S NONEXISTENT HORSE. BREAKG THE FOURTH WALL: WHEN THE PARTY TO CAMELOT, HE SAYS, "IT'S ONLY A MOL." HUMAN PACK MULE: PARODIED. BIS TOTG A HUGE AMOUNT OF GEAR FOR ARTHUR, HE ALSO MIMICS THE SOUNDS OF HOOFBEATS WHEN THEY TRAVEL. THE QUIET ONE: HE ONLY GETS ONE LE THE MOVIE. SIKICK: TO ARTHUR. MOSTLY ACTS AS HIS ASSISTANT AND IS HIS ONLY PANN AT THE START OF THE MOVIE. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MOE?: DISAPPEARS AFTER THE ENUNTER WH TIM.TROP ASSOCIATED WH THE SPAMALOT VERSN OF THIS CHARACTER: ASCEND EXTRA: HE ONLY HAD TWO L THE ORIGAL. HERE, HE TAK BEVERE'S PLACE AS ARTHUR'S CLOST NFIDANT, GETS TO LEAD "ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SI OF LIFE", AND IS THE KEY TO GETTG THE GRAIL. ANTI-NIHILIST: HE CHEERS ARTHUR UP WH "ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SI OF LIFE", A SONG ABOUT HOW LIFE IS POTLS AND EVEN PAFUL, BUT 'S MORE FUN TO BE OPTIMISTIC ANYWAY. BUTT-MONKEY: CONSTANTLY IGNORED AND TAKEN FOR GRANTED BY ARTHUR. COMPOSE CHARACTER: BEVERE IS STILL THIS VERSN, BUT PATSY TAK HIS TRA OF BEG ARTHUR'S RIGHT-HAND-MAN AND NFIDANT. HYPERPETENT SIKICK: TO ARTHUR. RACE LIFT: BEG A SERVANT TO KG ARTHUR, N BE ASSUMED THE ORIGAL VERSN HE WAS PROBABLY AN ANGLO-SAXON OR CELTIC CHRISTIAN. IN SPAMALOT, HE'S HALF-JEWISH. HE DIDN'T TELL ARTHUR AT FIRST BEE, "IT'S NOT THE KD OF THG YOU TELL A HEAVILY-ARMED CHRISTIAN. THE REVEAL: HE'S JEWISH.    BEDIVERE SIR BEDIVERE THE WISEPLAYED BY: TERRY JONTHE WIST OF THE KNIGHTS. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT STILL DON'T LEAVE ENOUGH WISDOM TO BE TECTED WHOUT THE AID OF POWERFUL STMENTS. CHARACTER TICS: HE ALWAYS HOLDS HIS VISOR UP, SPE BEG ABLE TO LOOK PERFECTLY THROUGH . CLOUDCUCKOOLANR: DPE BEG TREATED AS THE SMART GUY, HE IS MORE ACCURATELY THIS TROPE, MOST OF HIS LEARNGS BASED ON INSANE TROLL LOGIC. COOL HELMET: THE VISOR SEEMS TO GET THE WAY, BUT STILL LOOKS NEAT AND KNIGHTLY. DIDN'T THK THIS THROUGH: THE ONE TIME HE UP WH A PLAN (THE TROJAN RABB), 'S ACTUALLY SOMEWHAT NOT ONLY DID HE NOT NSIR THE FRENCH WOULD TAPULT OUT OF THE STLE BEFORE THE TEND NIGHTTIME ATTACK TO TAKE THEM BY SURPRISE AND UNARMED, HE FOT THAT LANCELOT, GALAHAD, AND HIMSELF WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SI THE THG FOR THE PLAN TO WORK AT ALL. (GOOD THG THEY WEREN'T.) THE FOOL: DPE HIS HERENT IDCY, HE STILL MANAG TO SURVIVE THROUGH THE END. INFORMED ATTRIBUTE: PLAYED FOR LGHS. HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE WISE, BUT MAK VERY BIG MISTAK AND ACTS LIKE A FOOL.BEDIVERE: AND THAT, MY LIEGE, IS HOW WE KNOW THE EARTH TO BE BANANA-SHAPED. INSANE TROLL LOGIC: EMPLOYS THIS TO HELP VILLAGERS EXPOSE A WCH. IT WENT LIKE THIS: WCH BURN. WOOD ALSO BURNS. WOOD FLOATS. DUCKS ALSO FLOAT. SO IF SOMEONE WEIGHS THE SAME AS A DUCK, SHE IS MA OF WOOD AND IS THEREFORE A WCH. AMGLY, THIS LOGIC ACTUALLY WORKS AS THE WOMAN QUTN DO ED WEIGH THE SAME AS A DUCK AND TURNS OUT TO BE A WCH AFTER ALL.WCH: IT'S A FAIR P. THE LANCER: ACPANI ARTHUR THROUGHOUT THE FILM AND SEEMS TO BE HIS RIGHT HAND MAN. RIGHT FOR THE WRONG REASONS: DPE THE ABOVE INSANE TROLL LOGIC, EVEN HE REGNIZ THAT "BUILDG A BRIDGE OUT OF HER" IS A POOR TT TO SEE IF SOMEONE IS A WCH. WHY? BEE THE TT IS TO SEE IF THE PERSON IS MA OUT OF WOOD, BUT YOU ULD ALSO BUILD A BRIDGE OUT OF STONE. THE SMART GUY: EXPLICLY STATED TO BE THE WIST OF THE BUNCH.TROP ASSOCIATED WH THE SPAMALOT VERSN OF THIS CHARACTER: DEMOTED TO EXTRA: HIS ROLE OF ARTHUR'S NFIDANT IS GIVEN TO PATSY, BUT HE'S STILL THE PLAY. GASS HOLE: IN THIS VERSN, HIS HONORIFIC IS NOT "THE WISE", BUT "THE STRANGELY FLATULENT". HOWEVER, WE DON'T REALLY SEE E UP THAT HE FARTS/BURPS A LOT THE PLOT.    LANCELOT SIR LANCELOT THE BRAVEPLAYED BY: JOHN CLEEAN AX-CRAZY KNIGHT. HE ALWAYS TRI TO SOLVE HIS PROBLEMS THROUGH VLENCE. IS ALSO VERY DRAMATIC HIS WAY OF ACTG. ADAPTATNAL NATNALY: WAS FRENCH SOURCE MATERIALS (OWG TO HAVG BEEN CREATED BY A FRENCH WRER), BUT HERE HE DON'T EVEN HAVE AN OUT-RRRRAJEO AK-SENT! AFFABLY EVIL: HE'S QUE CHARMG WHEN HE'S NOT THE MIDDLE OF A KILLG SPREE. ALWAYS SAVE THE GIRL: RH OFF TO RCUE SOMEONE ONCE HE RECEIV A LL FOR HELP. ONCE HE FDS THE PERSON DISTRS IS A MAN AND NOT A WOMAN AS HE EXPECTED, HE'S FLABBERGASTED. NOT ANGRY OR READY TO RAISE HELL ABOUT , JT UTTERLY STUMPED AND UNSURE WHAT TO DO NEXT. AMBIGUOLY GAY: LANCELOT'S SEXUALY IS OPEN TO TERPRETATN DUE TO RULE OF FUNNY. HE'S VERY IMMUNE TO THE CHARMS OF THE CASTLE ANTHRAX "TEMPTRS," AND UNNVCGLY NI GALAHAD'S ACCATNS THAT HE'S GAY, BUT WHEN THE DISTRSED DAMSEL HE WAS EXPECTG TO RCUE TURNS OUT TO BE A PRCE NAMED HERBERT, HE'S QUE DISTURBED. IT'S HARD TO TELL IF HE'S A REPRSED HOMOSEXUAL OR JT A HETEROSEXUAL WHO'S REALLY TO THE WHOLE "CHIVALRY AND PURY" THG. APOLOGETIC ATTACKER: HE DO REGRET AND SCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR KILLG A WHOLE BUNCH OF NOCENT WEDDG GUTS AND HAPLS GUARDS (AND THEN ALSO KILLG SEVERAL MORE OF THE SURVIVORS WHEN THEY E AFTER HIM). POOR GUY JT N'T HELP HIMSELF. AX-CRAZY: WHEN SOMETHG PROVOK HIM TO FIGHT, THERE IS NOTHG STOPPG HIM OM SLGHTERG EVERYONE ON SIGHT. EVEN WEDDG GUTS HAD TO DIE. BADASS CAPE: HE IS ONE-MAN ARMY WHEN HE GETS RILED UP. THE BERSERKER: IT DON'T TAKE A WHOLE LOT TO SET HIM OFF, AND ONCE HE GETS GOG HE'LL KILL PEOPLE DISCRIMATELY, NO MATTER IF THEY'RE PUTTG UP A FIGHT OR NOT. WHICH IS ACTUALLY QUE ACCURATE TO HIS CHARACTER OM ARTHURIAN MYTH. THE BIG GUY: THE FIGHTER OF THE ROUND TABLE. BIG OL' EYEBROWS: HE IS JOHN CLEE, YOU KNOW. BOISTERO BISER: HE'S MOSTLY JOLLY AND GOOD-NATURED. JT DON'T GET TOO CLOSE WHEN HE'S AD-SET ON A MURRO RAMPAGE; BEG AN NOCENT BYSTANR WILL NOT SAVE YOU. CHASTE HERO: UNLIKE SIR GALAHAD, LANCELOT APPEARS TO BE PLETELY UNAFFECTED BY FEME WIL. WHILE DRAGGG OFF GALAHAD OM CASTLE ANTHRAX, HE'S ACCED OF BEG GAY. EASILY FIVEN: SUBVERTED. HE BURSTS TO SWAMP CASTLE, KILLG MULTIPLE GUARDS AND UNARMED WEDDG GUTS. BUT WHEN THE KG OF SWAMP CASTLE REALIZ THE POTENTIAL OF ARRANGG A MARRIAGE WH A KNIGHT OF CAMELOT, HE STANTLY FIV LANCELOT. THE WEDDG GUTS, HOWEVER, AREN'T SO FIVG. ONLY WHEN THE ALLEGEDLY AD PRCE HERBERT PROV TO BE ALIVE DO THE WEDDG GUTS FET ABOUT LANCELOT. EVIL LGH: CACKL WILDLY WHILE HACKG HIS WAY THROUGH FENCELS WEDDG GUTS. FAKE SHEMP: LANCELOT WEARS A BLACK AND WHE GREAT HELM THE SCEN WH TIM THE ENCHANTER, AND ONLY TAK OFF AFTER TIM LEAV. SCE TIM THE ENCHANTER WAS ALSO PLAYED BY JOHN CLEE, A BODY DOUBLE HAD TO BE ED. HEROIC COMEDIC SOCPATH: TO PUT BLUNTLY, HE STORMS A WEDDG AND MURRS MOST OF THE GUTS JT BEE HE THKS A PRCS IS DANGER, AND TRI TO LEAVE AWKWARDLY WHEN HE REALIZ THAT WAS A MAN WHO SENT THE CRY FOR HELP. KNIGHT IN SHG ARMOUR: SUBVERTED — HE'S CERTALY A BRAVE KNIGHT, AND HE'S EVEN AFFABLE ENOUGH AS LONG AS HE ISN'T RILED UP... BUT, AS IS QUICKLY REVEALED, HE IS VERY MUCH A VLENT, HOMICIDAL MANIAC WHO KILLS PEOPLE WHOUT A SEND THOUGHT. LANTERN JAW OF JTICE: AS BEFTG A CHIVALRO KNIGHT, WHICH HE BELIEV HIMSELF TO BE. LARGE HAM: TENDS TO BURST TO DRAMATIC SPEECH DURG HIS 'HEROIC RCUE MISSN' AT SWAMP CASTLE. LEEROY JENKS: HE HAS EXACTLY ONE STRATEGY: CHARGE RIGHT AHEAD WHOUT THKG. IT WORKS, TOO — HE'S ONE OF THE FEW CHARACTERS WHO ACTUALLY SURVIV TO THE END. IT PROBABLY HELPED THAT HIS ONLY "OPPONENTS" WERE FENCELS WEDDG GUTS AND ELS GUARDS WHO DON'T EVEN TRY TO FIGHT HIM. MY GIRL IS NOT A SLUT: AS A TRADNALLY CHIVALRO KNIGHT, HIS ATTU TOWARDS WOMEN IS MIXED. HE SPIS THE "TEMPTRS" OF CASTLE ANTHRAX, BUT IS EAGER TO HEROILLY RCUE (AND PRUMABLY FALL LOVE WH) WHAT HE ASSUM TO BE A VIRTUO YOUNG LADY. WHEN HE REALIZ THE "LADY" QUTN IS A MAN, HE'S RATHER PUT OFF. ONE-MAN ARMY: SLGHTERS HALF OF AN ENTIRE STLE FULL OF GUARDS TO SAVE, ERM, THE PRCE. ALTHOUGH ADMTEDLY THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO FIGHT BACK. TOKEN EVIL TEAMMATE: TO THE KNIGHTS. HE MURRS A LOT OF NOCENT PEOPLE ATTEMPTG TO RCUE (WHAT HE THKS IS) A DAMSEL DISTRS. UNSTOPPABLE RAGE: HE EVEN LAMPSHAS TO THE KG OF SWAMP CASTLE:"YOU SEE, WHEN I'M THIS IDM, I SOMETIM GET SORT OF, ER, RRIED AWAY..." WRONG GENRE SAVVY: MUCH LIKE KG ARTHUR, HE'S NVCED THAT HE'S THE PROTAGONIST OF A CHIVALRIC ROMANCE, WHICH, OF URSE, VOLV SLGHTERG ONE'S WAY THROUGH STL TO RCUE IMPRISONED MAINS. UNFORTUNATELY FOR HIM, THE "MAIN" THIS SE IS A YOUNG MAN.TROP ASSOCIATED WH THE SPAMALOT VERSN OF THIS CHARACTER: ADAPTATNAL NICE GUY: HE'S JT AS MUCH AN AX-CRAZY BLOOD KNIGHT AS, IF NOT MORE THAN, THE OG MOVIE. BUT WHEN HERBERT'S FATHER SENTIALLY TRI TO MURR HIM, RATHER THAN REGARDG WH DIFFERENCE, HE'S DIGNANT AND LLS HIM OUT. ADAPTATNAL SEXUALY: IN THE PYTHON MOVIE, HE WAS AMBIGUOLY GAY AT THE MOST. HERE, HE HAS A WHOLE SONG DITED TO HIM G OUT. ADAPTATNAL VILLAY: HE'S BED WH THE PEASANT WHO KILLS THE OLD MAN, GIVG HIM AN ACT OF PREMEDATED MALICE ADDN TO HIS UAL BERSERKER RAGE. THE CHOS EVEN LLS HIM OUT ON . COMG-OUT STORY: THE "TALE OF SIR LANCELOT" IS TURNED TO THIS. COMPOSE CHARACTER: WH THE MAN WHO KILLED THE OLD MAN DURG THE "BRG OUT YOUR DEAD" SEQUENCE. GYM BUNNY: "YOU N ALL FD HIM/PUMPG AT THE GYM/AT THE CAMELOT YMCA!" MANLY GAY: HE LOV SWORDFIGHTG, BATTLE, WORKG OUT, AND HERBERT. PLATONIC LIFE-PARTNERS: HE DON'T APPEAR TO HAVE ANY ROMANTIC ATTRACTN TO ROB, BUT IS QUE FOND OF THE GUY AND IMMEDIATELY WANTS TO BE HIS IEND. SENSIVE GUY AND MANLY MAN: THE MANLY MAN TO BOTH ROB'S AND HERBERT'S SENSIVE GUY. STRAIGHT GAY: HE'S A CRASS, MCULAR, CHIVALRO KNIGHT. ALTHOUGH AFTER HE OUT, HE DO EXHIB SOME "MACHO" GAY STEREOTYP. TRANSPARENT CLOSET: HE HIMSELF IS THE ONLY ONE ACTUALLY SURPRISED WHEN HE FALLY OUT.KG ARTHUR: I THOUGHT YOU WERE A FAIRY?LADY OF THE LAKE: OH NO, THAT'S LANCELOT.    GALAHAD SIR GALAHAD THE PURE/CHASTEPLAYED BY: MICHAEL PALTHIS KNIGHT DO NOT DO MUCH THE FILM. LIKE HIS TLE SAYS, HE IS A CHASTE KNIGHT. CHASTE HERO: HE TRI TO BE THIS, BUT AFTER BEG CASTLE ANTHRAX FOR AROUND 10 MUT, HE GIV UP. DEADPAN SNARKER: HE'S EHER THIS OR A CAPTA OBV. IT'S NOT ALWAYS THAT EASY TO TELL."WHAT A STRANGE PERSON." EATG THE EYE CANDY: WHAT HE ENDS UP DOG AT THE CASTLE ANTHRAX, AND SOON STARTS GIVG TO TEMPTATN. EPIC FAIL: WHEN THE MAN OM SCENE 24 ASKS HIM WHAT HIS FAVORE LOUR IS, HE STILL MANAG TO GET WRONG. INRPTIBLE PURE PURENS: PARODIED. HE TRI TO RIST THE ALLURE OF ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY NYMPHOMANIAC BLONS AND BT BETWEEN THE AG OF 16 TO 19, BUT EVENTUALLY STARTS TO SUCCUMB TO THEIR TEMPTATNS AND ACTUALLY CIS TO GIVE , JT AS LANCELOT AND DRAGS HIM AWAY. HE THEN BEGS TO BE ALLOWED TO GO BACK AND FACE THE "PERIL."MSY HAIR--> TOO DUMB TO LIVE: HIS ABILY TO CI WHETHER BLUE OR YELLOW IS HIS FAVOURE LOUR LEADS TO RATHER FATAL RULTS. UNRELATED THE ADAPTATN: MOST ARTHURIAN STORI PICTED GALAHAD AS LANCELOT'S SON, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. IN THIS FILM, THEY'RE NOT BLOOD-RELATED. GALAHAD IS EVEN THE SAME GENERATN AS LANCELOT. UNWANTED RCUE: PLAYED FOR LGHS. HE'S QUE RELUCTANT TO BE RCUED BY LANCELOT OM THE CASTLE ANTHRAX. UPPER-CLASS TW: MICHAEL PAL HAS ADMTED TO PLAYG HIM AS ONE, SPEAKG A "POSH" ACCENT AND HAVG A TENNCY TOWARDS COMILLY MISSG THE POT.TROP ASSOCIATED WH THE SPAMALOT VERSN OF THIS CHARACTER: COMPOSE CHARACTER: HE'S BED WH DENNIS THE PEASANT. SPARED BY THE ADAPTATN: HE MAK TO THE END OF THE PLAY STEAD OF BEG THROWN TO THE P.    ROB SIR ROB THE NOT-QUE-SO-BRAVE-AS-SIR-LANCELOT"YOU T! I SOILED MY ARMOR, I WAS SO SRED!"PLAYED BY: ERIC IDLESIR ROB CLAIMS TO BE VERY BRAVE. HE ALSO HAS A BAND OF MSTRELS SGG ABOUT HIS BRAVERY... BUT IS AN ENORMO WARD. HE IS FULLY SIGNATED AS "SIR ROB THE NOT-QUE-SO-BRAVE-AS-SIR-LANCELOT WHO HAD NEARLY FOUGHT THE DRAGON OF ANGNOR, WHO HAD NEARLY STOOD UP TO THE VIC CHICKEN OF BRISTOL AND WHO HAD PERSONALLY WET HIMSELF AT THE BATTLE OF BADON HILL". ACCINTAL HERO: SAV ARTHUR AND BEVERE OM THE KNIGHTS WHO SAY NI BY UTTERG THEIR ACHILL' HEEL (THE VERY MON WORD '') WHOUT REALIZG . ANIMAL MOTIFS: THE SIGIL ON HIS SHIELD AND SURAT IS A CHICKEN. BRG MY BROWN PANTS: HE IS KNOWN FOR PERSONALLY WETTG HIMSELF AT THE BATTLE OF BADON HILL. HE THEN SOILS HIMSELF WHEN THE KILLER RABB APPEARS, AND AGA WHEN KILLS BORS. CANON FOREIGNER: THERE IS NO "SIR ROB" THE ARTHURIAN MYTHOS. COWARDLY LN: HE MAY N THE FACE OF DANGER, BUT HE ALSO MANAG TO SURVIVE THE BATTLE AGAST THE KILLER RABB OF CAERBANNOG. DEADPAN SNARKER: FOR SOMEONE SO WARDLY, HE SURE N BE SARSTIC WHEN THE MOOD TAK HIM. DEATH BY IRONY: DI AT THE BRIDGE OF ATH WHEN UGHT WH A QUTN HE DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO, AFTER HE CIS 'S TOO EASY TO NOT GET SRED BY, SOMETHG HE'S DONE THE WHOLE FILM. FAKE SHEMP: SCE BROTHER MAYNARD IS ALSO PLAYED BY ERIC IDLE, THE SCENE THE VE WHEN THE TWO ARE THE SAME AME, ROB IS PLAYED BY A BODY DOUBLE WHO IS EHER HIDG BEHD ANOTHER KNIGHT OR FACG AWAY OM THE MERA, EEG UP ERIC IDLE TO PLAY BROTHER MAYNARD. INFORMED ATTRIBUTE: AN UNIVERSE EXAMPLE. HE IS CLAIMED TO BE THE BRAVE SIR ROB, BUT NS AWAY OM EVERY SIGN OF DANGER. BUT THIS DO NOT STOP HIS MSTRELS OM SGG HOW BRAVELY HE RAN AWAY. LOVABLE COWARD: "WHEN DANGER REARED S UGLY HEAD, HE BRAVELY TURNED HIS TAIL AND FLED..." LUCKILY, MY SHIELD WILL PROTECT ME: IT'S NEARLY AS BIG AS HIS BODY. ALL THE BETTER TO WER BEHD. MANLY FACIAL HAIR: SUBVERTED FOR LGHS - HIS PORNSTACHE IS MUCH MORE MANLY THAN HIM. MIL GLORS: HE HAS A GROUP OF MSTRELS FOLLOW HIM AROUND TO NSTANTLY BOAST ABOUT HIS SKILLS, AND HE ALWAYS TRI TO LOOK LIKE A BRAVE AND HEROIC KNIGHT. TOO BAD HE ISN'T.TROP ASSOCIATED WH THE SPAMALOT VERSN OF THIS CHARACTER: ADAPTATNAL BADASS: A D EXAMPLE AS HE'S STILL WARDLY BUT THIS VERSN, HE ACTUALLY SLEW THE "VIC CHICKEN OF BRISTOL", RATHER THAN ALMOST STANDG UP TO . ADAPTATNAL INTELLIGENCE: HE HAS ENCYCLOPEDIC KNOWLEDGE ABOUT BROADWAY AND GENERAL A MORE TELLECTUAL AIR ABOUT HIM THAN THE MOVIE; URTY OF THE ROLE BEG ORIGATED BY DAVID HY PIERCE. BRG MY BROWN PANTS: MENTNS ONE OF THE DRAWBACKS OF BEG A KNIGHT IS SOILG HIS PANTS OUT OF FEAR. THE DANDY: HE'S VERY NEAT AND LOV SGG AND DANCG. CAMP STRAIGHT: TO NTRAST LANCELOT, ROB LOV MIL THEATRE, HE'S VERY NEAT AND PROPER, AND HIS ORIGAL BROADWAY ACTOR WAS GAY. HOWEVER, HE FAWNS OVER THE "NGHTY GIRLS NASTY TIGHTS" DURG HIS NUMBER. HETEROSEXUAL LIFE-PARTNERS: HE AND LANCE PROMISE TO "REMA GOOD CHUMS" AND LOOK OUT FOR ONE ANOTHER. LANCELOT IS GAY BUT APPEARS TO HAVE NO NON-PLATONIC FEELGS FOR ROB SPECIFILLY. MORALY CHA: AFTER LANCELOT SGS ABOUT HOW MUCH HE LOV KILLG, HE VOWS TO BE THIS:LANCELOT: "TO KILL/FOR WILL/IT GIV ME SUCH A THRILL!" ROB: "TO SG/AND DANCE/AND KEEP AN EYE ON LANCE!" SENSIVE GUY AND MANLY MAN: "NOT YET DEAD" TABLISH HIM AND LANCELOT AS THIS PAIRG, RPECTIVELY. SPARED BY THE ADAPTATN: SURVIV TO THE END OF THE PLAY, AND FDS HIS "GRAIL" (HAPPY ENDG) BY BEG A MIL THEATRE PERFORMER. WRONG LE OF WORK: HE WANTS TO BE A KNIGHT, BUT HIS TALENTS ARE MUCH MORE SUED FOR MIL THEATRE.    SIR NOT-APPEARG-IN-THIS-FILM SIR NOT-APPEARG-IN-THIS-FILMTHIS IS NOT A REAL CHARACTER, BUT MORE OF A GAG WHEN THE NARRATOR TRODUC THE KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE. WHEN HIS PICTURE IS SHOWN, HE APPEARS AS A BABY WEARG A CHAMAIL IF THAT'S TOO LARGE — THIS IS ACTUALLY MICHAEL PAL'S SON, WILLIAM PAL. HE IS THE TROPE NAMER TO SIR NOT-APPEARG--THIS-TRAILER AND LADY NOT-APPEARG--THIS-GAME. ADAPTED OUT: A PARODY OF THE NCEPT, WH A NAME THAT WOULDN'T MAKE SENSE THE HYPOTHETIL WORK THAT TRODUCED HIM.

NO PARTY LIKE A DONNER PARTY: WHEN A PARTICULARLY HARD WTER STRIK, ARTHUR AND HIS KNIGHTS ARE FORCED TO EAT THEM. SERVILE SNARKER: THE LEAD MSTREL TURNS HIS LYRICS TO MORE SOMETHG ROGATORY AFTER ROB WARDLY NS AWAY OM THE THREE-HEAD KNIGHT. IT'S UNCLEAR IF HE'S SNARKG OR IS EARNTLY SPIRED BY HOW BRAVELY ROB RAN AWAY. THE SMURFETTE PRCIPLE: ONE OF THE MSTRELS IS THE ONLY WOMAN THE GRAIL-SEEKG PARTY. TAGALONG CHRONICLER: PARODIED. THEY FOLLOW ROB AROUND AND MAKE UP IMPROMPTU SONGS ABOUT HIM. HOWEVER, SCE HE'S A CHRONIC WARD, THEIR TASK OFTEN PROV QUE DIFFICULT. THE VOICELS: THREE OF THE MSTRELS GET NO L AT ALL. JTIFIED, SCE THEY ALL PLAY WD STMENTS WHENEVER THEY ARE SEEN.

How on earth uld this awaken the fir of homosexualy a 10-year-old girl, you may ponr!

Gay. I genuely thk Guevere was tegral to my gay awakeng. BBC Merl untentnally havg not one but two tensely homoerotic iendships?

And the gay cherry on top is that Arthur lerally di Merl’s arms at the end of the seri. Completg the te gay TV show narrative: one of them has to die tragilly.
