Many years ago I got the chance to visit Doune castle in Scotland where they filmed Monty Python and the Holy Grail. If you went into the gift shop, which was just off the passage that leads into the interior castle grounds, they would let you borrow a pair of hollowed-out coconut halves so that you could "ride your steed" down the passage way just like in the movie.
They were filming a pilot for a television show while I were there. You could see the sets, but you weren't allowed to photograph them. At the time they wouldn't tell you what show they were filming. Care to guess? I found out later that it was "Game of Thrones."
Before there was Saturday Night Live, there was Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In:

Oh yeah - reason for my quote. Ruth Buzzy was a national treasure. Laugh In, Benny Hill, Monty Python ... funny as hell.
My favorite pre-covid pandemic:
Man 1 (ringing bell): Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead!
Old mad is dumped on wagon: But, I'm not dead yet!
Man 1: You soon will be.
Don't know what I like better, Holy Grail (hey, big nose!) or Meaning of Life (fuck off, I'm full)
