Dell EMC courts HPE sales people with putrid Monty Python parody Dell EMC looks to be courting HPE sales people with a Monty Python and the Holy Grail parody that compares the latter company to the film's infamously incompetent Black Knight. The parody sees Dell's King Arthur analog declare “I seek the finest and bravest reps in all the land to join me in my court!” The name of that court …
If you haven't bought the albums since Master, don't bother. Just run your Master cassette at like 2/3's normal speed, and you'll be pretty much hearing all the albums since then. Although Justice did have some good songs on it ("One", in particular, I still consider to be the apex of all metal).
ok, I'll do it first - Newsted left Metallica 15 years ago. Do keep up.
Dell should be sued for this video. It's an obvious affront to common decency and must break some law somewhere relating to either torture or poor taste.
(edit: well, buggers, I was second to remark about Newsted...)
I've been a Python fan for many, many years, and I actually thought it was funny, a parody of a parody. Not as good as the original, by any means, but still definitely funny, especially if you know the original. And I think Dell made their point quite well. If I'd been the green knight, I'd have whipped out a resume, not a light sabre.
Still, why didn't "Gregory" have coconuts? Verisimilitude? ("The coconut's tropical! This is the temperate zone," etc.)
Props to Dell, this isn't bad. Doesn't try too hard, and makes some pretty salient points to HPE customers and their staff. Wouldn't want to encourage too much tinkering with the legacy of the film (imagine an Microsoft or Oracle version of this and shudder) but not bad!
