Sir Robin (Eric Idle)’s Timeline and Summary
- Robin's chosen to be a Knight of the Round Table, which, to his dismay, involves a lot of fighting and other generally daring activities. Maybe he thought they were all just going out for pizza.
- He almost goes to Camelot but it's really just a silly place so he turns around with the company and hears almighty God announce their quest for the Holy Grail.
- When they split up, Robin goes tromping through the forest followed by his minstrels, who are singing about just how brave Robin is. It makes him nervous; so nervous he doesn't notice the signs which should make him really nervous.
- Suddenly, he finds himself in front of a three-headed giant. The three heads argue among themselves about what to do. Be nice to him? Kill him? Biscuits or no biscuits (that's cookies for all you non-Brits out there).
- By the time the heads turn their attention back to Robin he's nowhere to be found.
- The minstrels have changed their tune, now singing about what a coward he is. They're still singing when Robin meets up with Arthur and Bedevere.
- Then Robin is traveling with the rest of the knights to everyone's favorite enchanter, Tim, who leads then to the den of the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog.
- It's so terrifying that Robin soils himself…twice.
- When the bunny is defeated by the Holy Hand Grenade, the group enters the cave only to be chased by the Legendary Black Beast of Aaarrggghhh.
- Robin isn't the only one running away this time…actually, they're all running away a lot. It's sort of a catchphrase of Arthur's.
- Then it's off to the Bridge of Death where, after Lancelot's success in answering questions, Robin steps confidently up to the plate.
- He probably wishes he hadn't skipped that geography class, because not knowing the capital of Assyria means he's spending his eternity in peril, in a gorge. Poor Robin.
