More Wacky Fun at Camelot

Jan 14, 2009 10:23

Still making my way through Le Morte d'Arthur. I've finally gotten up to the Quest for the Holy Grail. I thought it would be pretty funny if someone made a super-deformed webcomic about this book. But the problem is, there are so many knights who just get mentioned in passing or show up for a page or two; it would be really hard to make them all ( Read more... )

Oh, I'm sure there's more to come! Good times in Camelot NEVER END, EVER. Except for that time when they did.

Now, if only I can get an awkwardly-positioned cute cat to laugh out loud, then I'll be happy ;)

...On second thought, let's not go to Camelot, it's a silly place.

I like how a lot of early Brit lit can be so overly dramatic and ridiculous sometimes.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA O.o

Seriously, these guys weep at the drop of a helmet! And I love the fact that people keep warning them away from crazy cursed castles and the like, and they keep saying "Well, I'll give it a try anyway, even though I clearly don't meet the criteria for conquering this adventure!"

And then they get horribly wounded. And then the real chosen hero shows up and decides to avenge their stupidity. WTF, early Britain?

Have you ever read "The Song of Roland?" I think it's French, but it's also pretty insane. So Roland and his warriors are fighting some army (I think they're muslims), and some of the battle descriptions are hilarious. Pretty much every time one of the warriors goes after an enemy soldier, he manages to cut through the guy's armor, slice his torso in half from top to bottom, send his heretic soul to hell, and quite possibly chop his horse in half too, ALL IN ONE SWIPE. Jeeeeeeeeez.

And knights were basically the jocks of yesteryear, so most of them probably weren't very intelligent.
Knight 1: Hey, look, a creepy castle! I bet there's tons of gold, fair maidens, and wine in there! Let's go!
Knight 2: Uh, Dude, what about the piles of human skulls all over the place and that GIANT FIRE-BREATHING DRAGON?
Knight 1: You're such a pussy!
Knight 2: You're the one who bawls your eyes out whenever anyone says the word 'tree.'
Knight 1: Waaaaaahhhhhh!
Dragon: *chomp*

Knight 3: Wow, what happened here?
Random old dude: Forsoothe, yesterday two hearty and goodly knightes attempted yon cursed castle, and were total idiots about it too, because I told them the curse could only be lifted by a red-haired knight who was destined to arrive here today!
Knight 3: Why, I'm a red-haired knight, and I just arrived! I guess I'll go kill that dragon now.
Knight 2: It still has my arm...!
Knight 1: Waaaaaaaahhhh!

OMG LAWLZ.

I love the Sir Bors. And I have a soft spot for angry, angry Sir Kay even if he is a huge dick. But can I have Tristram and keep him forevers now?

Sir Bors the Not-Quite-So-Pure-As-Sir-Galahad, Who Almost Kinda Saw the Holy Grail, And Who is a Virgin "Except For That One Time," Because That's Totally How Male Virginity Works, You Guys, Shut Up.

Also, you can have Sir Tristram, but you're gonna have to beat out La Belle Isoud for his love, and that's gonna be tough because they are an OTP second only to Guinevere and Lancelot.
