King Arthur's Disasters (2005-2006) is a British cartoon about King Arthur but having very little to do with actual Arthurian Legend, it features the voices of Rik "The Young Ones" Mayall, Matt "Little Britain" Lucas, Phil "Saturday Night Live" Cornwell, and Morwenna "Reeves and Mortimer" Banks. It aired on children's channel CITV and Nickelodeon UK.King Arthur loves Princess Guinevere, unfortunately she's a Rich Bitch and he's a complete moron (in fact no one in this show is very bright). His attempts to woo her (usually by being sent on some deadly Fetch Quest by her) are aided by Merlin, a nervous wizard who tries in vain to stop Arthur from going through with these promises. Arthur is opposed by two wayward Knights, Lancelot and Martyn and eternally cheerful but dim Robin Hood and his ever suffering Merry Men and Women (well, Woman).Of course even if Arthur gets the item Guinevere requested she never returns his affections. The show is Strictly Formula but the gags are good enough to maintain it anyway. | |

Secret Identity | |
| King Arthur's Disasters / int_112890b3 | comment |
Secret Identity: 'Sir Margaret', the most capable knight (indeed most capable character generally) is clearly really Lady M, Arthur's sister. Naturally, no one ever realises this. | |

Love Potion | |
| King Arthur's Disasters / int_14a8974a | comment |
Love Potion: In "The Surprise Quest", Arthur's loyal magician, Merlin, has discovered a potion which makes the person you give it to fall head-over-heels in love with you. Arthur plans to catapult the potion at Guinevere so she'll finally marry him, but he accidentally hits her chaperon, Petal. | |

Artistic License – Biology: In one episode, Petal's sister Tatiana shows a deep concern for her apes, which are drawn with tails. Lampshaded when King Arthur states that whales aren't fish; they're mammals. | |

Fetch Quest: While having no intentions of actually marrying Arthur, Guinevere uses her hold over him to will him into finding her the things she desires; water from the fountain of youth, a winter palace, a golden bear, and so on. | |

Hopeless Suitor | |
| King Arthur's Disasters / int_863c780a | comment |
Hopeless Suitor: Even if Arthur was not a short and rather unpleasant little man, he would have no chance with Guinevere, due to the Lady herself being very self centred and spoiled, and is clearly sending the king on borderline impossible tasks to either get rid of him or just to fufill whatever desire she currently has. | |

Second Law of Gender-Bending | |
| King Arthur's Disasters / int_9d6879e8 | comment |
Second Law of Gender-Bending: Shades of this in "King Guinevere". When Arthur and Guinevere swap bodies, Guinevere hates every moment in his body while Arthur doesn't seem to mind being her (though in fairness he clearly got the better deal in that exchange.) | |

Shout-Out | |
| King Arthur's Disasters / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: More than a few. Not least of which is Pedro, a Spanish donkey seller dressed like Mario who sells Arthur a Donkey named Kong, and even does the classic jumping pose and "coin-collecting" sound when Merlin pays him for it. Amusingly, Rik Mayall actually did a lot of adverts for Nintendo back in the SNES era. | |

Interchangeable Asian Cultures: Sir Martyn is portrayed as being a Japanese samurai. Then again, his full name is Sir Martyn the May Tin Gong which sounds Chinese. Phonetically at least, it sounds a lot like Sir Martyn's calling himself "Before the Sky's Bright". | |
