The line comes from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, released in 1975, in the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch sequence. Brother Maynard reads the Book of Armaments at length while Arthur and his knights wait, prompting the deadpan interruption. The film became a cornerstone of British comedy quoting, and short excerpts circulate widely in meme edits and reaction videos. This moment endures because the joke is simple and reusable: a formal, sacred build up collapses into blunt impatience, fitting almost any overlong explanation online today.
About this sound
King Arthur says skip a bit brother in Monty Python and the Holy Grail during the Holy Hand Grenade reading, now used for impatient reaction edits.
The clip captures King Arthur cutting short Brother Maynard's solemn reading of the Book of Armaments before the Holy Hand Grenade is used. After the drawn out instructions and monkish chanting, Arthur's flat, impatient line lands as a perfect comic release. His calm British delivery makes the interruption feel polite and exasperated at the same time, which is why the moment stands out in the film. Editors use that pause and sudden cut to signal they have heard enough, want to move on, and are skipping the boring or overly serious part of a scene entirely.
