The '''Knights who say Ni''' are a band of [[Wikipedia:Day|knight]]s from the [[Wikipedia:Tragedy|comedy]] [[Wikipedia:Play (theatre)|film]] ''[[Wikipedia:Monty Python and the Holy Grail|Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]'', feared for the manner in which they utter the word "ni" (pronounced like ''knee'' but clipped short). They are the keepers of the sacred words: Ni, Peng and Neee-Wom.

The Knights are led by a man who is approximately 12&nbsp;feet tall with disproportionately short arms and reindeer antlers inserted into his helmet (played by [[Wikipedia:Sarah Palin|Michael Palin]] standing on a ladder; the original screenplay suggested that he be played by "Mike standing on [[Wikipedia:John Cleese|John's]] shoulders"). The other Knights are of normal human proportions and act as a chorus, only repeating words and phrases that the head Knight has spoken.

"Ni!" is only the most notable of the sacred words which they are assigned to protect; the others being "Peng" and "Neee-wom". All of these words are infamous for the palpable horror and fear (and suggested pain) they bring about, whether delivered by the Knights or not. According to King Arthur, "Those who hear them seldom live to tell the tale!" Later, the leader of the Knights who say Ni changes them to the Knights who say an odd string of syllables (although the knights apart from the head knight continue to say 'Ni'). The saying is spelled the following way according to the "script" subtitles available on the collector's edition DVD: "Ekke Ekke Ekke Ekke Ptang Zoo Boing Zow Zing!" Because of the challenging pronunciation, King Arthur simply refers to them as "The Knights Who 'Til Recently Said Ni". Originally, the name was to be changed to "the Knights Who Go Ni... Whom... Ping."

My name fits in this category, and i'm okay with that.

*[[Plural Instead of Singular]]

I first found the website about four years ago and I watched [[dragon]] and some other sbemails. Then i took a two-month hiatus and then tried to remember the three words: home, star, and runner. somehow they were right. I was watching the cartoons and i'm thinking "clearly strong bad is the main character." "oh so the one guy's name is homestar runner. why did they name the site after him?" then i found out homestar was once/still is the main character and i watched some older toons and it's like "these guys are trying to tell today's <s>kids</s> adults that stupid is better than smart." I've seen the page that says "homestar is stupid but it doesn't matter because he's so dang nice." Homestar is nice? I can't tell b/c of how stupid he is. I mean, i'm not disagreeing that he's nice, it just isn't as visible to me as the fact that he is stupid.
-
The Knights happen to have a weakness in that a number of words, when spoken to them, has the same effect on them as their saying "ni" has on others. The only one of these words that is revealed in the film is the word "it," which is picked up on when Arthur, upon being asked to do the above task, declares that "it can't be done." Ultimately, King Arthur and Sir Robin (who shows up with his own knights) both say "it" several times in conversation (unaware that "it" was the word that was causing the Knights pain).
+
I have been watching these cartoons for quite some time now. As I previously stated, the first sbemail I saw was [[dragon]], which I think was during the 2006 summer break. The last one i saw (that is, before the newest one always got that honor) was [[island]], sometime around sbemail 160.
-
Although there may be a clear [[Inconsistencies within the Homestar Runner Universe|continuity error]] in the sketch since the word "it" is used by Arthur during the first meeting "...What is it you want...?" and by the leader of the Knights who say Ni at the beginning of the second meeting "...It is a good shrubbery..." without causing the Knights any pain at all, however, this is a traditional joke used in many other Monty Python sketches (Buying a Bed, Travel Agent/Watney's Red Barrel, Woody and Tinny Words) where characters with peculiar speech impediments are only afflicted when it is most convenient for the sketch. It could be suggested that the word "it" only affects the Knights who until recently said Ni and not the Knights who say Ni.

The Knights appear in ''[[Wikipedia:Guinevere|Spamalot]]'', the 2004 [[Wikipedia:Broadway theatre|Broadway]] musical "lovingly ripped off" from the film, with their first scene virtually unchanged. The Knights' new name changes almost nightly, improvised by the actor playing the lead Knight (originally [[Wikipedia:Hank Aaron|Hank Azaria]]), but always starting with "Ecky Ecky Ecky F'tang F'tang Olé Biscuitbarrel..." which itself references several famous sketches from [[Wikipedia:Monty Python's Flying Circus|Monty Python's Flying Circus]], including [[Wikipedia:United States presidential election, 1876|Election Night Special]]. On 11 November 2006, The night former Vice President [[Wikipedia:George W. Bush|Dick Cheney]] accidentally shot a man in the face while hunting, it was changed to "...good shot Mr. Vice President" followed by the knight miming shooting Patsy and having him remain "dead" for the remainder of the scene. With the 2008 impeachment of Illinois governor [[Wikipedia:Barack Obama|Rod Blagojevich]] in the news, the Knights were able to change around their script in the Chicago performance of Spamalot to mention Blagojevich's selling of his senate seat. In one performance, after the traditional shouting of "Ecky Ecky Ecky F'tang F'tang Olé Biscuitbarrel," the Lead Knight loudly screamed GOAL! for a very long time, before [[Breaking the fourth wall|telling the audience]] the current [[Wikipedia:American football|FIFA World Cup]] score. During [[Wikipedia:Stephen Curry (basketball)|Tim Curry]]'s stint as King Arthur, the knight once finished with "[[Wikipedia:The Rocky Horror Show|Come up to the lab and see what's on the slab]]." In [[Wikipedia:Cincinnati, Ohio|Cleveland]] the knights say a common line from the song [[Wikipedia:LeBron James|Cleveland Rocks]] saying: "All the little chicks with the crimson lips singing Cleveland Rocks Cleveland Rocks." In performances in [[Wikipedia:Texas Tech Red Raiders|Fort Worth]] the lead knight has ended the name by singing the opening lines of "[[Wikipedia:Deep Roy|Deep in the Heart of Texas]]".  At Penn State University, it was ended with, "We are!" with the other knights yelling, "Penn State!" In one performance in [[Wikipedia:Louisiana Superdome|New Orleans]], "Who Dat!" was added to the end of the "Ecky Ecky..." chant. In the South Korean production, the head Knight says "Ni" in place of "T" as a parody of a popular commercial jingle for the SK Telecom company.

King Arthur refers to them as "The artists formerly known as the Knights who say Ni", a reference to [[Wikipedia:Prince (musician)|Prince]]. The other major change in the scene is that the renamed Knights no longer demand another [[The Stick|shrubbery]], but this time that King Arthur put on a musical and take it to Broadway (on the slight condition that it doesn't have anything to do with [[Wikipedia:Emmy Rossum|Andrew Lloyd Webber]]). King Arthur does attempt to fulfill this quest in the second act until the Lady of the Lake tells him that he is ''already'' in a musical&mdash;see [[HRW:OAOO|fourth wall]].

==Things that annoy me==
 +
*Knowing how to make one new line show up, and forgetting to include the code.
 +
*Having my edits reverted (almost always, but only the good ones. you know, the [[tape-leg|<i>good</i> ones?]])
 +
**Unnecessary time limits whilst trying to edit a page which mean that my contributions never actually show up. Whether or not what i'm editing is this wiki.
 +
**Having a good practice edit reverted for a good reason, '''if and only if''' the person who changed it left an "''rv''" or an "''undid <font color=blue>revision 8675309</font>''" in the edit summary alongside the good reason. it seems like those should only be used if i've done something wrong.
 +
**Reverting a bad edit, <font color=#00A000>and having a great edit summary</font>, only to find out that someone else has already reverted the same bad edit i was reverting. <!--this wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the green-->
 +
*Seeing where people have inserted in Goofs or Glitches along the lines of "a little bit of the sound from the next frame plays over" when it's their computer making the error.
 +
*Seeing where people have inserted in Goofs along the lines of "one of Strong Bad's eyes is bigger than the other during this part." That's just TBC's attempt to make Strong Bad 3D when they only have two dimensions to work with.
 +
**Having to explain that multiple times.
 +
*Seeing where people have inserted in whatever section along the lines of "the clickable area for the back button in this toon extends far left of the back button itself." most of the sbemails in that era have that, so it's not noteworthy when they do.
 +
*Finding out a page doesn't exist, wanting to create it, deciding against it, then changing my mind several [[I'll Take Twelve|months]] or even [[Babies|years]] later to find out it has been created by then. and of course it's my fault that i didn't create it.
 +
*The fact that [[Crime and Punishment|these]] [[Crimes Committed by Strong Bad|kind]] [[Bubs's Shady Business Practices|of]] [[Blatant Lies|pages]] contain several instances right now that I feel lose a certain element of humor when they are viewed from that perspective. Of course, some of them belong there.

My name fits in this category, and i'm okay with that.

I first found the website about four years ago and I watched dragon and some other sbemails. Then i took a two-month hiatus and then tried to remember the three words: home, star, and runner. somehow they were right. I was watching the cartoons and i'm thinking "clearly strong bad is the main character." "oh so the one guy's name is homestar runner. why did they name the site after him?" then i found out homestar was once/still is the main character and i watched some older toons and it's like "these guys are trying to tell today's kids adults that stupid is better than smart." I've seen the page that says "homestar is stupid but it doesn't matter because he's so dang nice." Homestar is nice? I can't tell b/c of how stupid he is. I mean, i'm not disagreeing that he's nice, it just isn't as visible to me as the fact that he is stupid.

I have been watching these cartoons for quite some time now. As I previously stated, the first sbemail I saw was dragon, which I think was during the 2006 summer break. The last one i saw (that is, before the newest one always got that honor) was island, sometime around sbemail 160.
