Sir Galahad the 16th episode of season 1 of Fractured Fairy Tales.

Plot[]

A man named Harry Galahad is a professional clown. His wife is named Bessie Galahad. When his son is born, Harry wants to name the boy Arbuthnot, but when the legal clerk asks if he has come to declare the boy's name, Harry says "Yes, sir!" The clerk writes "Sir" as the boy's first name, and says that the register cannot be changed. So the baby's name is Sir Galahad, and he grows up with the first name Sir.

Sir is expected to follow Harry into the clowning business, and receives extensive clown training, but wants something else. Much to Harry and Bessie's dismay, he wants to be a knight. However, one night he has a dream where he becomes a knight, kills a dragon and rescues a princess, whom he then marries. But as the dream continues, Sir's marriage becomes unbearably fractious due to his wife's shrewish nature (Sir says "I should have married the dragon!"), and his knightly career only earns him a heroic but untimely death in combat. Waking from the dream, Sir realizes that his father's plan was the better option all along, and eagerly embraces the clowning life.
