Lol what, who’s that referencing?

It's basically the entire plot of A Knight's Tale, a 2001 movie that I happened to rewatch like two days ago lmao

Omg. I went into that movie thinking it was a serious medieval movie. Imagine my surprise when the crowd broke out in chant towards the start.

It takes itself the perfect amount of serious, imo, and I love it. The entire sound track is such a curveball, and they even lean into it but it also still takes the actual plot a little seriously.
