I think Arthur's comment at the end of the video sums it all up pretty well. After all of the traveling the knights have done to get to Camelot, this one thing turns them around the other direction. "On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. 'Tis a silly place." -- Arthur, King of the Britains. It's no wonder at all that Spamalot was made after seeing what the Monty Python crew could do with a musical number like this.
It's hard to look back now and believe that when I first watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail I didn't like it. Of course, I didn't know what I was going to watch before, honestly. A girlfriend of mine insisted I watch it, explaining very little. I sat through the movie, found some of it humorous, but didn't care for the ending. I think my exact words were something like, "I sat through all of that for this ending?" Of course, now I get to introduce new people to the movie and see their similarly confused reaction.
