The Knights Who Say Ni first appeared in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the 1975 British comedy film written by and starring the Monty Python troupe. In the film, King Arthur meets the knights in a forest, where they repeatedly shout Ni and demand a shrubbery before letting him pass. The strange word and the absurd demand became one of the film's most quoted jokes, repeated in sketches, fan videos and internet memes for decades. Its short, instantly recognizable sound makes it an easy shorthand for confusion, ritual and nonsense.

A short Monty Python clip asking what a Ni is, from the Knights Who Say Ni scene in The Holy Grail, used for confused reactions and absurd meme edits.
A male voice asks, in a puzzled and slightly theatrical tone, what a Ni actually is, turning the Knights Who Say Ni joke back on itself. The delivery is slow and questioning, with a rising inflection that makes the familiar word sound strange again, as if the speaker has just heard it for the first time. There is no music or background noise, just the clear spoken line, which gives it a dry, deadpan quality. It lands as a knowing joke for Monty Python fans, while still working for anyone who enjoys an absurd, out-of-context question.
