TOONS: Hillary Clinton meets Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
So far I've found no fewer than six cartoons depicting Hillary Clinton as the Black Knight.








And One more Holy Grail themed cartoon.



Does anybody else have any Monty Python themed toons to add?

2. Someone is using the second toon as a sig graphic
But it came out very fuzzy when they shrunk it.

3. Ha! OMG!
Those are great! My Dad use to let me stay up and watch Monty Python. The naked piano guy! "THE LARCH", The silly walk olympics, "There's a penguin on the telly!".....Good fun!

I didn't find any more black night references but I thought this was funny!



One thing I did notice is the Wright comics have faded and Hillary comics too. Now we have a wave of McCain vs Obama toons like this one:

7. I just got the whole set on DVD.
I got it imported from Germany, so it doesn't have the cuts that the American set has. :)

These people I live with still owe me a Mom Day present! "I don't know what to get you?"
Ha! now I can tell them! :bounce:

9. I got it at the German Amazon site.
http://www.amazon.de/Monty-Pythons-Flying-Circus-DVDs/dp/B000MTFXFG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1211082657&sr=8-1

It's actually cheaper from there than the US version is from American Amazon. If you're registered on US Amazon, you won't need to reregister on the German one. You will need a region free DVD player to be able to watch them.

4. ... and there was much rejoicing
Edited on Sat May-17-08 09:53 PM by lumberjack_jeff

NARRATOR:
And so, Goolsbee, Cutler and Obama set out on their search to find the enchanter of whom the old man had spoken in scene twenty-four. Beyond the forest, they met Liebman and Brzezinski, and there was much rejoicing.
CAMPAIGN STAFF:
Yay! Yay!
NARRATOR:
In the frozen land of West Virginia, they were forced to eat Obama's supporters.
SUPPORTERS:
Get back! Eee!
NARRATOR:
And there was much rejoicing.
CAMPAIGN STAFF:
Yay!

11. No, they're funny.
That's why they're called 'toons.

13. Yes -- God knows, we wouldn't want a political cartoon to be biting, would we?

19. It's a nice selection, but they're not really Monty Python themed.
Edited on Sun May-18-08 12:13 PM by Crunchy Frog
You probably don't know what Monty Python is. :rofl:

23. Love that top one
Didn't find the bottom one amusing but your mileage may vary, humour is personal taste.

22. A man dismembering a woman is so funny
and original, that no less than six cartoonists thought of it. Hmm.

Anyone remember the movie "Boxing Helena"? The one Kim Basinger agreed to do and then walked out on when she realized it was a misogynistic snuff film? I think it cost her like $8 million to get out of the deal, but the critics said it was worth every penny when the movie came out. I don't know, these cartoons just made me remember it.

I wonder if Obama looks at these cartoons and feels a little creeped out at how he's portrayed? I wonder if Michelle does?

25. Oh, get over it.
It's Monty Python, it's funny! The Black Knight keeps fighting even though he's lost all his limbs! Kind of like Hillary at this point...

26. Have you really never seen that movie?
Your post is incredibly stupid but I think I'm more concerned that you've never seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail. You need to rent that ASAP.
