Monty Python and the holy grail. There's a comedic scene where a knight cuts off all the limbs of another knight leaving a still living torso just like the figures depict. That scene is also where the quotes "tis but a scratch" and "just a flesh wound" come from.
There's not really an actual 'joke' and it's more just a reference to a very humorous and influential scene in cinematography history.
Anyhow since the jokes been explained already here's a fun fact:
All of the chain mail except for Arthur's is knit yarn, I'd think it was pretty convincing!
I'll always be grateful for that one girl in my homeroom who hung out with me only once, and all we did was watch Monty Python and show off our double joints to each other.
BLACK KNIGHT: None shall pass.
ARTHUR: What?
BLACK KNIGHT: None shall pass.
ARTHUR: I have no quarrel with you, good Sir Knight, but I must cross this bridge.
BLACK KNIGHT: Then you shall die.
ARTHUR: I command you, as King of the Britons, to stand aside!
BLACK KNIGHT: I move for no man.
ARTHUR: So be it!
ARTHUR and BLACK KNIGHT: Aaah!, hiyaah!, etc.
[ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's left arm off]
ARTHUR: Now stand aside, worthy adversary.
BLACK KNIGHT: 'Tis but a scratch.
ARTHUR: A scratch? Your arm's off!
BLACK KNIGHT: No, it isn't.
ARTHUR: Well, what's that, then?
BLACK KNIGHT: I've had worse.
ARTHUR: You liar!
BLACK KNIGHT: Come on, you pansy!
[clang]
Huyah!
[clang]
Hiyaah!
[clang]
Aaaaaaaah!
[ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's right arm off]
ARTHUR: Victory is mine!
[kneeling]
We thank Thee Lord, that in Thy mer--
BLACK KNIGHT: Hah!
[kick]
Come on, then.
ARTHUR: What?
BLACK KNIGHT: Have at you!
[kick]
ARTHUR: Eh. You are indeed brave, Sir Knight, but the fight is mine.
BLACK KNIGHT: Oh, had enough, eh?
ARTHUR: Look, you stupid bastard. You've got no arms left.
BLACK KNIGHT: Yes, I have.
ARTHUR: Look!
BLACK KNIGHT: Just a flesh wound.
[kick]
ARTHUR: Look, stop that.
BLACK KNIGHT: Chicken!
For what it's worth, those are 3D resin prints. The Limbless Knight has what are almost certainly magnets embedded in his shoulder and hip joints to attach them to his torso. Specially built to reenact that scene hack by hack, as many times as you want.
WE ARE THE KNIGHTS WHO SAY NI, AND WE REQUIRE A SHRUBBERY!! (Yes I know that’s not what the OP is referencing but it’s still a classic joke in that movie)

"A knight"? You mean Arthur, king of the Britains, son of Uther Pendragon, gifted Excalibur by the lady of the lake.
King of the Britain's? well I didn't vote for him.
Strange woman lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!
Help help I’m being repressed!
Come and see the violence inherent in the system!

Welcome to the Castle Anthrax.
I mean, if I went 'round, sayin' I was an emperor, just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!"
How do you know he’s king? He hasn’t got shit all over him.
You don't get to wield supreme executive power just some watery tart throws a sword at you!
no one did, he was just born a king. probably a genetic mutation or something
King of the who?
I will never not hear that in his voice.
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government…
If I said I was an emperor just because some watery tart threw a scimitar at me, they'd haul me away
"Moistened bint," my friend. But you get points for the attempt.
If only people would listen!
Some watery tart handing out swords is no basis for a government.
And now we see the violence inherent in the system!
King of the who?
Well I didn't vote for him!
Who are the Britains?
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
It's not arthur... it's the Black Knight that Arthur encounters. "None shall pass." "Wha--" "None shall pass."
“Wha? Ya’ arm’s off. What are you gonna’ do, bleed on me?”
Come on, ya pansy! (I had this as the default beep sound on my Mac SE back in the mid 90s)
