Would you say that anyone quoting Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the biggest dork there is? I have a buddy who says so. While I'm not one to often quote that great movie, I never thought of doing so as a badge of dorkdom.
So, what say you?

Dorky? I don't think so. It's simply a sign of good taste.
Anyone who quotes ANY movie is a dork. At least the Holy Grail is a good movie.
I only know two people who quote Monty Python, and they are both very nice and kind, very smart, and very capable of their own original thoughts. One's male and one's female and they do not know each other. The male can quote "Life of Brian" verbatim. The female sings "The Philosophers Song" with ease.
So no, I don't think people who quote Monty Python are dorks.
Depends on the quote. If it's that "we are the knights that say..." followed by giggling like a girl, then yes. You are a dork.
Not if they finish it verbatim as the second thing they say, which I do not know how to type, or say for that matter. Whatever it is sounds hilarious though.

On the other hand, "Let's not bickah ovah ooo killed ooo," doesn't sound dorky at all. Well OK, maybe it does.
ni.
I know of one movie in which a Python line -- albeit not from "Holy Grail" -- is a major plot point.
Also, "Bring out your dead" was not entirely fiction. It was shouted in Philadelphia in 1793 during a yellow-fever epidemic (and someone has used it as the title for a book on the subject).

Yes, but there's nothing wrong with being a dork.
Quoting? Dorky.
Arguing about whether it's dorky or not? Even dorkier.
Yet what am I doing right now...
More often than you might think, I find appropriate occasions to say "he was nay so much a man...as a blancmange."
If the posters here would all able to quote the Piranha Brothers sketch by heart, letsrun would be a better place.
Nothing like getting your head nailed to the floor.
As for Holy Grail- forever we used to like to refer to girls having "huge tracts of land". That was not dorky.

Quoting ANYTHING or just Holy Grail? I know I'm not usually contrarian, but I'll have to disagree there.

It might be dorky giving the historical context of a popular M.P. phrase.

I'm surprised to hear you say this. I imagine Dennis Kucinich quoting the whole movie. Oh well, not like I do it all the time or anything. Say hello to Kelly Wicks for me.
"Brave Sir Robin ran away."

That's true. You're absolutely right. It surely would be. I have no idea whether there's a connection. I just recall coming upon the fact that it was actually used, which kind of put a damper on its comedic use. Although, I'll grant you that the folks in Philly didn't whack people to speed things up. Probably.

It's a joke, son, don't ya get it?
A nice boy, but about as sharp as a bowlin' ball.
