Monkey Dust: The Crusades (maybe NSFW first 10 seconds,4:32)

A satirical parody of Hollywood's re-writing of history; from the fantastic Monkey Dust (Series 2 Episode 1).

Changed the title in-case anyone else felt the same ("maybe NSFW first 10 seconds"!) It's hard (no pun intended) to gauge how NSFW an animation is; especially if it has no swearing or blatant nudity etc.

Yeah - one of the knights is the guy who wrote the soundtrack, I presume (he appears to the left of the subliminal message and has the name 'DaCosta' on his back at the start).

Monkey Dust is a very dark, subversive animation on the BBC (2 & 3) over here in the UK. They like to 'bite the hand that feeds it' and rip the piss out of the BBC; or in this case, its IDs & voice-over.

BBC 1 has a load of idents which feature people in red & white clothes (its branded colours) doing various choreographed things (like dancing/skateboarding etc). I think this was inspired by one where two guys on a roof perform that martial art, where they round-house kick and swing around without contact - can't remember what the sports called!

Yeah - the BBC One idents are a little weak (especially in comparison to Channel 4's - at least Two & Three's have a comedic value). Although, they don't have much other competition; ITVs are the usual cheesey kack and Five: well, I just won't even go there...

Good luck with the Monkey Dust hunt: there's a few out there, but not the best. See you on the race-course!
