Police Responds to Black Knight Claiming He Was Stabbed

This comedic edited meme depicts a UK police officer kneeling in a foggy wooded area, smiling at the Black Knight character from *Monty Python and the Holy Grail*. The Black Knight, who has a visible bloody stump where his arm has been cut off, has a speech bubble stating 'I've been stabbed!'. The responding police officer's speech bubble reads 'LOL, I don't think you have, mate. Put your hands behind your back.'. The gag subverts the original Monty Python scene where the Black Knight repeatedly downplays his own severe, obvious injuries, here flipping the joke so the officer dismisses the knight's very clear injury as he tries to arrest him. A watermark reading 'TUCKERED' is visible in the bottom right corner.

Origin notes

This meme was sourced from an RSS feed of 9Gag, with the original posted title 'Don't think you have, mate.'. It is a derivative work remixing the iconic Black Knight limb loss scene from the 1975 comedy film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, combining imagery from the film with a photograph of a modern UK police officer to create an absurdist cross-over joke.
