The '''Trojan Rabbit''' is a giant wooden wheeled rabbit seen in '']''
==Scene Summary==
In a scene of '']'', King Arthur and his knights are confronted by a group of Frenchmen who refuse to give them shelter for the night in their castle, and tease them by saying they already have the eponymous grail.
The Frenchmen hurl ridiculous insults at the knights, such as a now famous quote, "I fart in your general direction" with livestock following, which they attempt to rebuke until Bedevere devises a plan.
The knights build a giant wooden wheeled rabbit, and promptly deliver it to the castle gate.
As the Frenchmen wheel the rabbit inside, King Arthur asks Bedevere to restate the plan, to which he responds:
:Well, now, uh, Launcelot, Galahad, and I, uh, wait until nightfall, and then leap out of the rabbit, taking the French, uh, by surprise. Not only by surprise, but totally unarmed!
Only then does Bedevere recall that he and his fellow knights were supposed to have already hidden ''inside'' the rabbit.
As he is rebuked for his failed plan, a similar deception with a wooden badger is suggested next.
:How about a large wooden badger...

The Frenchmen then launch the rabbit out of the castle by means of a catapult. The knights only have time to scream "Run away!" before Galahad's coconut-wielding servant is crushed by the wooden rabbit.

This scene is a parody of the myth of the ], in which a group of Greek soldiers in the ] hide inside a giant wooden horse until nightfall, so as to attack the heavily fortified city of Troy from the inside.
