If you have felt like this year's general election and the events that followed crossed over into farce, then this is the perfect video for you.

The folks at ABC News Australia's Insiders have inserted Theresa May into the cultiest of cult classics, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and the results are glorious:

We see Theresa and her Tories of the Round Table galloping across the fields (of wheat), dancing to 'Camelot' and promising to "get on with the job of government".

There's also a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo from Lord Buckethead as the Black Knight, and the circle is now complete.

The entire thing is brilliantly done, but our favourite moment has to be the green monster Boris Johnson taking the place of the killer rabbit.

The Conservative Party election campaign, and Theresa May in particular, has created plenty of meme ready moments (although not intentionally) with the Prime Minister's confession that the naughtiest thing she's ever done was run through fields of wheat taking the cake.

One person who has taken May's gaffes and ran with it (while creating plenty of intentional meme-ready moments along the way) was Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Over the Glastonbury weekend, Corbyn was asked the 'wheat field' question and his answer was priceless.

If you're in for more chopped up election parodies, Casetteboy have released their own summary of the whole messy affair.
