not if your serious about your religion. this movie is blasphemous in any way a Christian would imagine. being OK with that would certainly counter any actual claim that a person is truely convicted. if you grew up in church and resented your parent(s) and God then enjoy the show.

@jyesucevitz only someone who truly doesn't understand the faith would say this. If you think God would care about blasphemy of all things in this messed up world, then you don't believe in a God you believe in a human being with human emotions and human ego--a God wouldn't need to be revered and care about blaspheming--they are a God lol. It makes even less sense than people who attribute human emotions and feelings to animals, and all it shows is that you have a complete and total lack of ability to see beyond the human emotions that rule you. How sad, maybe someday you will truly understand the Bible and the commandments, and you'll see how this film is both funny and very holy as it preaches the lessons that Jesus did, and the same basic messages and lessons of the Bible: love thy neighbor, and don't be a dick. You sir, have failed those

Sue Jones-Davies (born 1 January 1949) is a Welsh actress, singer and local politician. She played Judith Iscariot in the film Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979) and was Mayor of Aberystwyth from 2008 to 2009. Upon taking the office, she was informed that the town had banned Life of Brian and prohibited it for nearly 30 years because of her nude scene. It subsequently emerged that although Ceredigion county councillors had reviewed the film in 1981, and found parts "quite unacceptable", they did not officially ban it. She sponsored a charity screening of Life of Brian on 28 March 2009 at the Aberystwyth Arts Centre. It was attended by cast members and the co-writers of the film, Michael Palin and Terry Jones.

10:10 The whole Latin language lesson bit makes more sense and is even funnier when you realise that John Cleese (the Roman Centurion) spent a year or two teaching Latin in a school prior to going to Cambridge University to do a Law degree. 9:30 The People's Front of Judea / Judean People's front / Popular front / etc etc is a subtle dig at the plethora of Palestinean groups in the 1970's who sometimes seemed more interested in fighting each other rather than the Romans / Israel.

Iconic music is the bonus
The Pythons are INCREDIBLE at the heckling crowd scenes. Nobody can do heckling crowds quite like the Pythons.
Former Beatle, George Harrison, was a big fan of Monty Python, and loved the script for "Life of Brian", so much so that he took out a mortgage on his home to finance the movie through his production company, Handmade Films. Harrison has a walk on role in the film. Additionally Harrison also appears in the Monty Python/Saturday Night Live mocumentary on the Beatles called "All You Need is Cash" about a band called "The Rutles" that stars Eric Idle as the member of The Rutles' who mocked Paul McCartney -- Dirk McNasty. Idle said of Harrison's financing of "Life of Brian", "That's one expensive movie ticket."
I would NOT recommend missing "The Meaning of Life" if you are a fan
To answer one of y'all's questions about the Monty Python comedy troupe, there are currently four of the Pythons still alive: John Cleese (who you'll probably remember most as Lancelot) , Michael Palin (Galahad), Eric Idle (Sir Robin) and Terry Gilliam (King Author's valet, Patsy). Graham Chapman (King Author and here Brian) passed away from complications from cancer in 1989 and Terry Jones (Sir Bedevere and here Brian's mother) passed away from complications of dementia in 2020. By and large, the Python's don't seem to get along so well these days. Palin and Idle are broadly speaking quite liberal while Cleese is a bit of a conservative and Gilliam has fallen down the rabbit hole of believing he's been cancelled for the content of his more recent films (rather than being discarded by Hollywood for their quality). All of them have a body of work I have enjoyed over the years and they've often worked with each other on various projects that were not explicitly Python related, such as the movies Jabberwocky, Time Bandits, Brazil, A Fish Called Wanda, Fierce Creatures to name a few. However.I legitimately can't imagine them trying to make a movie all together again, even (or perhaps especially) to ostensibly improve on any of their previous work.

They did _One Down, Five to Go_ back in 2014 to pay off some legal debts they accrued from _Spamalot._ It was a live show that was also released on video, so not a "movie" as such.
So, the story is, the actors playing the guards were told to not laugh under any circumstances, but weren't told the dialogue. And Palin kept changing it with every take. In one take you can see him barely holding it together himself. For me, it's hands-down the funniest scene in the movie.
This movie is a comedic masterpiece. Not only is it a brilliant satire of the Jesus story, but of religion itself. I love this movie.

You are correct that "Monty Python" is the name of the comedy troupe, not a single person and seeing the troupe members playing all different characters is always half the fun in their stuff. Also, remember these people are British. Their comedy always depends on the viewer to have a certain base of knowledge that modern Americans don't all have and sometimes even find it difficult to appreciate.

The whole bit with Stan/Loretta and the right to have babies was a two-edged critique of the issue, unlike what some people would have you believe because of 'current-year' social politics; They're basically saying that while it's not harming anyone if he wants to be a woman, it is still physically impossible to truly change sex, no matter what medication or surgery you have.

They treat Loretta as female the entire time after she "comes out:" (if that's the proper term and it probably isn't), the only pushback is when she says she wants to have babies.
The irony of watching people mishear the Sermon on the Mount, and then get into an actual fight there, is absolutely hilarious. The Latin lesson is fantastic, the "what have the Romans ever done for us" is truly funny. It was originally going to be called "Brian of Nazareth", which is ever funnier. The mild prophet that Brian fell on is also hilarious in his prophecies. They're so mundane. You have to listen closely. Possibly the most underrated joke in the film.
if you want a Monty Python-esq movie with a couple of the boys in it and Kevin Klein and a gorgeous as ever Jamie Lee Curtis then A Fish Called Wanda will do nicely.

Blessed are the cheesemakers! So funny. The original line from the Sermon on the Mount was "Blessed are the peacemakers." OMG. LMAO!
Don't forget props to George Harrison, who created a production company and bankrolled this film (note the better budget). He did it because "I want to see the movie," which Eric Idle called the most expensive movie ticket price in history.
The biggus dickus joke - all the extras were told they are not allowed to laugh or they'd lose their jobs. Michael Palin was then told to do whatever it takes to make each of them crack, so it went on for HOURS.
Fun fact: this was banned across parts of the UK when it was released. The last place to unban it was in Wales - Aberystwyth, and the woman who plays Brian's love interest was a university lecturer there.
The deaf prison guard is world famous director Terry Gilliam (who did all the animations for Python)
Great reaction guys! This was a fun one!
Can't go wrong with Monty Python. FYI: Some group asked John Cleese (one of the writers and characters in this) to remove the "Loretta" part as it is offensive. He told them to pound sand. Regarding the Latin lesson, for those of us that went to Catholic school back in the day, with the nuns, this was exactly how Latin class went. That's part of what makes it funny to a lot of old Catholics.
All this $tupidity was made fun of back when most people knew it was $tupidity. Today, being $tupid is normal and not funny.
Considering both movies are considered two of the funniest comedies of all time, often appearing in 1st and 2nd place when comedies are rated, I would say in both cases they managed to make their movies "next level", without even mentioning that both movies are a significant part of their legacy of the greatest comedy group to ever exist.
I've seen your Holy Grail reaction. I'm watching your Life of Brian reaction. I'm hoping you'll finish the trilogy with my favorite of them all Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (1983). My favorite quotable "bit" as well as my favorite musical number are both in that film, which is the most similar in format to their television show Monty Python's Flying Circus. (If you're looking for a television series that is fun and nostalgic for Gen-X and Boomer viewers, it does have a cult following just like the movies.)

Wow! Didn't know that!
The 60's were a decade where EVERYTHING changed. In regards to comedy, Monty Python were one of the acts that flipped the genre on its head. Their TV series was hilarious too; Monty Python's Flying Circus. They were a late 60's, and early 70's phenomenon. Every one of the Phythons were hilarious in their own way. There's Monty Python At The Hollywood Bowl as a feature length concert movie too. It's also funny. The Pythons were very intelligent comedy.
And Now for something Competely Different is film version tv sketch show gives hint of what Monty Python 's Flying Circus was like . Live at Hollywood bowl is another great feature with skeches performed to live audience
Only seen Monty Python & The Holy Grail, so I’ll watch this with your guys’ commentary on the Patreon. Just leaving this comment and video in the background for the algorithm. 😁
Gads, i love this movie. My family has half a dozen Christmas movies and this is one. As Brian has his "that's Capricorn is it?" Parallel to Jesus.
In contrast with The Holy Grail, this one was actually trying to get a point across about blindly following religions and the silliness of all the different sects warring against each other in real life when their differences are trivial to an outsider. So yes, on some level it stops trying to be "just funny" and crosses the boundary into educating people- that makes it a better film to me. Be that as it may, I still think this movie is funnier as well :)
Lmao 🤣🤣 the singing after was the best 😂😂
Its always interesting to see young people watch old movies and realize for the first time that, more less, everything they consider modern or new has been done million times in past. Joke about Loreta is perfect example
I can't believe you skipped over "what have the romans ever done for us?"
All the Python films have some bits I’d consider great, so I can’t pick a favorite one. The TV show is really funny too.
Yes, you'd expect "heavier hitters", but in 1979 this movie was OUTRAGEOUS. It was severely criticized by religious figures and boycotted, but that's what made it even more fun! Italians could watch it only in 1991!
I think this is my favorite MP movie, although it really is hard to pick one because they're all brilliant. The humor in this depends in large part on knowing some Biblical stories, and a lot of people get the broad strokes of those, and something of the politics of Roman occupied Judea. Of course it's funny even if you don't know that the argument among the people at the back of the crowd at the Sermon on the Mount is representative of the infighting between sects of Judaism. There are levels to each vignette just like there were in The Holy Grail, which is a story most of us have heard, too. I had a religion teacher in college show this movie and it was great having someone point out the esoteric humor that I wasn't getting before. My Latin teacher showed us the "Romans go home!" Latin grammar lesson, too. Monty Python being very smart and highly educated as well as very talented makes for some great comedy. Also, Dora Richter in 1931 (Berlin) was the first known trans woman to undergo gender reasignment surgery. She was born in Germany in 1891. Also, also, astrology's been around for a very, very long time, like thousands of years, and there was a big surge of popular interest in astrology between 1900 through 1949.
Oh those poor extras in the Biggus Dickus scene. They were told they weren't getting paid if they laughed, so they really tried to hold it in.
14:30 Hi-fiving after a "Hail Ceaser!" would be a GENIUS anachronistic sight gag! Good call, it needs to be done somewhere, lol!
My two fav parts of this movie were when he opened the shutters naked and the crowd was there staring... and the alien ship crashing and he just walks away uninjured and the onlooker says, "Lucy bastard"...that was so subtle and dry....Oh and his mother talking about his Welsh tart... haha
Theres a youtube video with the cast of monty python debating with the Anglican church over how offensive this was towards Jesus and therefore the Christianity (which it isnt). This movie was targeted as soon as it came out by Christian reiligions as blasphemous.

I don't think they were really "predicting" it as much as commenting on transsexuals being a thing. Something to keep in mind is that there were transgender folks even back during the 70's; only difference between then and now is that people couldn't pursue transitioning as easily and options were sorely limited back in the 70's. That bit, if anything, just goes to show how long members of the LGBTQ-community have been dealing with society's B.S. It only seems like "predicting" because as a society we have incredibly short-term memory and don't learn from our own history... It's why we're still wrestling with such bigotries, be they based in race, religion, sexuality, or gender-identity. Because instead of dealing with our issues and reconciling with our past, we just do our damnedest to over-look the ugly details. EDIT: Sorry if that sounded preachy, just couldn't think of any other way to convey my point.

Yay!!! I hope you'll give Meaning of Life a chance. People are more divided on that one, but I happen to love it.
I enjoyed Holy Grail more after seeing both films once, but through repeated viewings I'd say they are now too close for me to pick a favorite. They are both brilliant satires and two of the best comedies ever made.
Love the *groaners you start your show with. *Bad jokes
I don't think Brian is being confused with Jesus. I think he is supposed to be a substitute for Jesus in the script so that the ridicule can be focused on the religious followers.
1. Mr Bean 2. Benny Hill More unreal UK silliness
If you can find an English sub or dub, you should absolutely watch "Manitou's Shoe" and "Traumschiff Surprise" directed by Michael (Bully) Herbig. They are similar in comedy to Monty Phython films, to the point that I used to believe Life of Brian was made by him and not Monty Python
I would consider watching a few of their TV show episodes. Some very classic sketches in there. I'm sure you could get some good recommendations on which eps to watch.
The troupe playing most of the characters is great. Only Graham Chapman and his leading man status in the group does not play multiple characters. Except for Biggus Dickus. He's also played by Chapman. After the Flying Circus stopped making movies, only Cleese went on to a successful international star.
MAJOR PAYNE! It's hilarious. 🤞✌️
Working title of script: Jesus Christ, Lust For Glory. Which they couldn't get away with. So these six Oxford/Cambridge dons made a biblical movie that was as historically accurate as to how people lived. Like Holy Grail did with the Dark Ages. This is as deadly accurate a portrait of human nature as a Polanski film or a Merchant/Ivory adaptation of a Henry James novel. Or a William Faulkner novel about race in 1920s/1930s Mississippi. There are three writers who inspired Python: Joseph Heller, Kurt Vonnegut, and the aforementioned Faulkner. Maybe James Joyce's Ulysses, too. And the other filmmaker who helped Python's style was Richard Lester, who was darkly satiric but historically accurate. Can you imagine how Python would have handled Mel Brooks' ham-fisted Young Frankenstein? Instead of Brooks' borscht belt sketches and his "if you don't laugh at my jokes you're anti-Semitic" routine, Python might have given us the ultimate skewering of the horror genre. Kind of like Rosemary's Baby.
9:14 Funniest scene in the whole movie.

There is also a Broadway-style musical production of 'Holy Grail' called 'Spamalot!' by Eric Idle, one of the Pythons.

Great reaction! Though you missed out my favourite line: "We should be struggling against the common enemy!" "THE JUDEAN PEOPLES FRONT?!"
Life of bryan is classic with hunor that never gets old its i Realy so impressive. Goat movie
Cam is on FIRE! 😆
According to the Pythons themselves and John Cleese in particular, _Life of Brian_ wasn't about religion, it was about 1970s British politics.
I attended a Roman Catholic college seminary in the late nineties. This was required viewing. 😁
Sadly Graham Chapman and Terry Jones have passed away, so there won’t be anymore Monty Python movies. But I still think Spamalot the musical still might be playing.
Usually if reactors devote 20+ min. to "after comments," I check out after the first 5, since it's often repetitive. YOU guys are pretty smart AND funny -- ok, not PYTHON-level smart and funny (!), but I found your commentary afterwards def worth sticking around for, and will even steal a couple of ideas, like the "Jesus being mistaken for [a] Brian" one, lol! Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
I have always found this film to have a more uneven pace than the other Python films. It has some great gags, though. Just like the movie "Dogma" by Kevin Smith, the cast got death threats from supposed "Christians". It would of been interesting if they had put Jesus in it more, or made Brian more of a prophet, but they knew it was already kind of a dangerous film to make. Put Jesus in a regular guy, and they would of had to dodge snipers. I'm not really kidding.
The Biggus Dickus scene gets worse/funnier when you know the context. To make the restraint of not laughing real, the Monty Python crew told the extras they wouldn't get paid if they laughed, so those were genuine attempts to not laugh. And the man doing the accent told no one he was going to do it, just adding more on top of that wonderful scene.

Not true sorry. Firstly the guards were played by respected professional comic actors they were not extras. Together they played 12 different roles in the film as no one was threatened with not getting paid for laughing in this one scene. Charles Mckeown the first guard to laugh played 2 roles in the film and is personal friends with Cleese and Palin. Chris Langham played 2 roles, he was the guard pulling the face get known British comedy actor and writer. Andrew MacLachlen the guard behind Brian on the right played 2 roles, again personal friends with the Python team. He guard behind Brian on the left is Bernard McKenna, an icon within British television comedy, he has written many hours of British comedy and was part of the writing team on The Life of Brain, he played 4 roles in The film and was involved all the way through filming.

The man doing the accent? Do you mean Michael Palin playing Pontis Pilate, the governor? Of course everyone involved in scene 13 knew what the script said, them laughing at the correct time is important to the story.

11:45 What are you talking about? The Colosseum is located in Rome, not in Jerusalem! 🤣🤣🤣
It’s a case of mistaken identity they think he is Jesus
This caused so much uproar when it first came out.
If you enjoyed the movies, you might want to check out the TV Series, Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Meaning of Life is great too.
I would love to see you guys react to Time Bandits, a film directed by one of the pythons (Terry Gilliam). It is weird, and funny, and weird. And very Python.
Extremely common trend continued in this vid, with American reactors preferring Holy Grail. The comedy in Life Of Brian is more subtle and understated at times, but I think its comedy in question is well clear of the Holy Grail, as good as that film is. There are so many great hidden lines and moments (several of which you skipped over, although I'm glad you liked the jailers), and coupled with the biting religious and political satire, it makes it an absolute treat of a film. Not trying to take away from your views, just observing that Americans seem to react better to the in-your-face ridiculousness of Holy Grail. Probably goes hand in hand with the culture and ways of interacting in America, which is/are similarly overt and direct
One dudes microphone is way better then the others.
Probably how it happened.
