All the selected bits are great, but I saw Life of Brian in the theater with a couple buddies. The Biggus Dickus scene was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Between the centurions trying not to laugh, Palin's egging them on, the audience laughing, we were laughing until our ribs hurt, and slouched so low in our seats we were nearly on the sticky floor. Took a while to recover. God bless the Pythons.

For me, the best part is that Palin himself is obviously a hair's breadth away from cracking himself. When he gets into that one guards face with the line "...when I say the name, Biggus... Dickus!", he is visibly barely keeping it together, and the only thing allowing him to pull it back in is the shift of focus as one of the other guards giggles.

Also, in the TV (yes, TV!) sketch where Michael Palin's Mr. Attila the Hun goes to a police office, Terry Jones is clearly having problems with his fake mustache, and then, mid-sketch, just rips it off, throws it in his hat, and continues on. Perfectly Python. And in the WWI sketch, where John Cleese overdramatically plays a chaplain who's lost both arms, when he offers to sacrifice himself, saying "I'm...not a complete man anymore", Graham's perfect beat before saying "You've lost both your arms as well" cracks Cleese up too perfectly to be scripted.

My personal favorite is Eric Idle’s song ‘Always Look on the Bright Side of Life’ from the crucifixion scene in Life of Brian. It’s on one of my Spotify playlists and it always makes me laugh. Not an ad lib but just perfect.

I started watching Monty Python reruns on PBS back in the late '70s and never really thought about a favorite Python beyond Eric Idle. Then a few months ago the question of "who's your favorite" came up at work and it hit me-Michael Palin, hands down. Something about his work with this troupe just clicked. Wait 'till Biggus Dickus hears of this...

A long, long time ago, I was the guitar player in a band. One time, we had a university gig In Glasgow and, after the sound check, we repaired to a nearby public house along with the support band. The pub was full of students and was as rowdy as any hostelry would be under the circumstances. Python came on the telly, and the place immediately fell silent, apart of course, from the hilarity. It is one of my abiding memories from that time.

There are many instances of Palin struggling to hold it together during Python sketches - "We'll be showing you more of that photo later on - unless we hear from Charles or Michael" during the Blackmail game show is one personal favourite. Palin as an old lady trying to read a poem whilst angry arabs scream in rage at her from the other side of the stream is another.

I had no idea they improvised any scenes, in movies or in the show. That makes me like them even more. Although the Biggest Dickus bit really does seem like he's intentionally trolling the guards to get them to laugh. I missed these guys so much. Python trivia: One of the last things Graham Chapman starred in was an Iron Maiden video for a song called "Can I Play With Madness". Enjoy!

The best unscripted part of all Monty Python movies was, when Brian accidentally fell off the tower and happened to fall into alien spaceship. It's a miracle that onboard security footage survived, as well as did Brian. Otherwise, they would need to reshoot all scenes with new "adult Brian". Lucky bastards!

Best use of irony. My favorite improvised line had Brian telling the crowd, "We are all different!", the crown mindlessly repeating, "Yes! We are all different," and one cheeky and brilliant extra piping up with, "I'm not." Now that is a perfect example of a spectacular use of irony. 😉 The other extras shushed the improviser thinking he crossed a line. Nope. They boosted his pay to that of a speaking actor. 😋

@kevinmoore8780 10 місяців тому
Thank you. All great clips. There is a difference between unscripted and improvised. The first few live "mistakes" are funny but normal banter with people who forget lines in a live production. However the skit with the man who lost his wallet and the police officer is good improvisation. The last example about Palin in the Life of Brian has been mentioned elsewhere are being unscripted as well but there is debate if it is or not. The scene was written for the guards to be laughing so hard that Brian can get away. Now getting them to laugh in reality instead of just acting would be great work by Palin. And if this were a single take, single camera clip then it would be easy to see that Palin was improvising and making the actors/guards laugh. But it's not a single take. There are several breaks and camera angle changes. Even in the clip you present we see 5 or 6 different camera angles which would have required stopping and re-starting the skit. Palin might have made up lines that made the actor's laugh but they were supposed to laugh from the very start.
