it is painful to see Monty Python anti-story of comic relief drawn up to stand alone without understanding.. the psychological and historical themes in Aurthur speak to worlds that are gone today. Comic relief specifically mocks and deflates many important aspects of the myth. By saying "oh that is the ONE for me" it basically flushes a lot of content into ludicrous, and yes funny, cheap theater.

> many important aspects of the myth

I am of course open to hear what these aspects are. But let's be clear that lucid understanding and humour are the best parts of civilisation.
