The anarchist peasant from Holy Grail was a political awakening for me.
Supreme executive power derives from a mandate of the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony!
If I went around calling myself emperor because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me they’d put me away!
(It’s amazing how much of this aligns with Graeber’s work)
Biggus Dickus, I remember my dad cracking up over it the first time I saw Life of Brian (not his first time, obviously). And now, more than 15 years later we’re still in tears when just mentioning the name or watching the scene for the x’th time
edit: Life of Brian, not Holy Grail… sleep induced brain didn’t work that well anymore
Biggus dickus sketch is from the life of Brian though.
He’s a phony! A big, fat phony!
