Monty Python and The Beatles are two of the greatest things to ever come out of the uk. I know Terry Gilliam is american, but you know what i mean. George Harrison who was a very spiritual being and put up the 4 million dollars to make the film, said that the spirit of the Beatles who broke up unofficially in 1969 went in the Monty Python team. It depends on what you believe. I think everyone should have their own beliefs and make up their own minds, which is basically what Life of Brian is about. As John Cleese said when he and Michael Palin were defending this film against a vicar/priest and a censor type on a tv show "Don't believe everything someone tells you. If a man in a pulpit is just qouting something from the bible on a sunday in a cold church don't just believe him because he says so. Question it. Find out things for yourself, don't just follow like sheep." Aswell as being the best comedy film ever made in my opinion, it also has an underlying message. Quite clever those python fellows.😊
I fondly remember watching this on public television when it aired in 1979. I probably watched it 100 times on my vcr version. Thanks for posting it here.
I LOVE Monty Python. Honestly, there are no other human beings in the world who have made me laugh as hysterically as they have, both as a kid and adult. I grew up watching them as a 90s kid in Alaska. I remember renting Monty Python tapes over and over again from my local video rental stores. And lots of videogames. Isn't that weird? I had a unique childhood. No regrets.
Funny how you in Alaska and my friends and I in a country side town in the state of São Paulo in Brazil had similar experiences. We only discovered the Pythons by the end of the 80s, but spent until the end of the 90s repeatedly renting Python’s movies and the shows episodes and renting Nes, Snes, and Megadrive games, specially games like Chrono Trigger, Legend of Zelda Link to the Past, Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, Final Fantasy 3 (6) and so many others. In a way we were brothers thousands of mile apart. 🙌😉🍻
It probably does sound weird to the younger generation but for 70's & 80's babies the video rental store was the portal to another world, our escape. Mine also had a video arcade in the back and I grew up in a small South Wales mining village so to me it was the best place on earth to hang out with friends especially if it was raining as my best friends mum was the manager and would let us take videos for free at the end of her shift as long as we brought them back before opening the next morning. We got to see all the Python films that way and loved them
Most Eastern Europeans found out about MP the exact same time period. Only difference, unless you perfectly knew English and had upper-class priced VHS player, you only watched Meaning of life (and soon after Fawlty Towers etc.) in the best available translations on TV. Mostly in awe and confusion.

I grew up Jehovahs Witness so pretty strict but Dad always had Monty Python on the TV around 7pm. He didn't laugh at it or say much about it but he let us little kids watch it. When I was a teenager I found the movie holy Grail and learned every single line. It inspired me to write a commodore 64 program about medieval life. I found synchronicity in the Bible. As a JW we fashioned ourselves as rebels and I found the same mindset in Monty Python. I'm 52 now and this is the first time I've ever seen this video and I'm very thankful.
I remember when this was on the telly.. In school next day we all said we couldn't wait for the film to come out ( our last year).... And then it got banned in Ireland!.. My brother got the soundtrack tape when he got his 1st car. .. Listened to it 1000 Times.. Still as funny as ever

Michael Palin: "I didn't want to just do a Michael Palin show..you know.. Michael Palin produces sort of thing." *spends next 40 years doing Michael Palin show*
Yeah that was funny wasn't it! To be fair those shows were pretty good, largely because he was always a very generous host and put himself in the background, instead showcasing the scenery and beauty of the places the programmes were about. Palin probably had the best career of any of them post Python and that is partly because although he made a career as a presenter there was always an instinctive humility in there, unlike Cleese who tried to still be the centre of everything he did and has basically turned into the sort of gammony ham he used to send up.
@@stiffori I don't know, Terry Jones seemed pretty happy in his work. None of them seemed to complain much, from how they talk you could argue that Gilliam had the WORST because he was always working and they weren't. And then Spamelot blew by all of them.
Pythons are simply timeless legeds. Comedy at it's best: Sureal, absurd and iconoclast. Who else from 50 years ago still look so funny, amusing and fresh?
One of my favorite comedy movies ever, not just favorite from Monty Python. Tunisia really agreed with Michael and Terry Jones; they looked flipping gorgeous here. I love Graham's story about the Queen Mother. Love the bit towards the end with all the Pythons talking about each other. Eric and Graham's observations about John were probably the most poignant and surprising. So glad that Graham got sober for this film, it's one of his funniest performances and he seemed healthier.
True story: A German military ship of some kind was out in the middle of nowhere (in the 50s or 60s) when they came across a man in a bathtub that he'd rigged with a sail. The Germans took him on board; they were very suspicious, very angry, and demanded to know what he was up to. Sailing around the world, he said. They didn't buy it, and commanded him to show them his passport. "Oh," they said when they saw it. "You're British? OH! he's BRITISH! Well, you should have said!" So they gave him some water, put him back in his bath tub and waved good-bye. Because everyone knows the British are nuts. It's their most endearing trait. Britain is the only country that could possibly have produced Monty Python.
Oh I remember queuing up to watch the first showing of Life of Brian at our local cinema all those years ago. I've never laughed so much in my life. The one thing that stood out for me in the film was when Spike Milligan was left standing on his own talking to himself after the masses had decided to follow Brian with their one sandal in hand. It was sheer improvised genius on his behalf. It's still my favourite film.

I love the Pythons. I grew up with them and have loved them all no matter where they have wandered individually. They all had such a great view of the world around them, mostly silly, often outrageous, but never heartless or intended to hurt, or offend for the sake of offending. I could have watched another hour or more of this. Great stuff.
@@MrDorbel We're going to agree to disagree on the TV show... The Python show was groundbreaking comedy that was often hilarious... Did everything land? Of course not... but more brilliant than not. Having said all that, I DO Love the films.
The first few films I watched as a child in the late 1970s were Star Wars, Apocalypse Now and Life of Brian. They all blew my mind. I suppose it gave me a perspective on life that's radically different to the kids I now teach.
That “point of view” is known as “wit,” & the absence of it in today’s young is no real accident, but is the result of carefully-crafted Eugenics! By selecting for phenotype appearances’ sake only, or for inherited money, the essential chromosomal, glandular, skeleto-muscular, synaptic & brain matter essential to homo sapien-sapien ISN’T becoming gradually more robust & enhanced, but is diminishing by reproductive degree, one gen after another. Consequently, the complex neurological function necessary to achieve high-levels of “quick-witted thinking” are unalterably impaired, including audial & visual acuity, long, long, long after the “discovery” & study of genotype genetics (the unseen traits) was universally-known. Each subsequent gen growing theoretically “prettier,” by a Eurocentric standard, but utterly deficient in protein & enzyme production capacity, weakening in glandular strength (& size), and in reproductive fertility. All based on the medical “science” of absolute denial. It’s funnier than fiction, really. “In love” with Devolving.
39:29 "Don´t get into an argument with Terry, unless you sorta have a free week basically." I wish, I could´ve observed the arguments between Cleesy and Jonesy 🤣🤣🤣

I watch this every couple of years (probably now more than Life of Brian) - just to bathe in the chemistry and humour of a group of people at their peek.
Hi friends: Am I misremembering it, or wasn't there a longer version of this, with longer takes, less broken up, and more takes and retakes from scenes in Life of Brian where you saw them getting tighter and tighter until they were, as seen in the actual movie... perfect?
It’s funny because it’s actually true, I know because it happened to me. I went to school with a former Lions player, we played front row together, decades later I met him after a rugby game and he refused to talk to me while he stood with my brother, who he also knew and my then 13 year old son. I later found out he does this regularly, and charges €10,000 minimum to give speeches.
@@ClannCholmain Carl Sagan was a jerk like that. A Cornell sorority found out he was going to be alone, so they invited him for a holiday dinner. His reply was a request for an appearance fee. They clarified that they didn't want a speech, but were just inviting professors. He still insisted on a fee. So the fraternity axross from his house strung out Christmas lights saying "EAT ME, CARL"
Monty Python, one of the few things Humanity has done right.
I'm grateful that they gave credit to Spike Milligan and the Goon Show, and that Spike was actually in the film.

Michael Palin was gorgeous..
Indeed !!
indeed
My father once said he knew him from the showers in the boarding school
Also, I think he quite resembles the fisherman from the jaws film
Not in Carol Cleveland’s league.
I loved how the same person would play 20 different parts!
The Life of Brian should be shown in primary schools to give another view on how mainstream religions came into being.
EXACTLY!! All via series after series of dreadful mishaps and losses for words on the part of executives and their idiotic management hirelings.
I watch this every couple of years (probably now more than Life of Brian) - just to bathe in the chemistry and humour of a group of people at their peek.
There is no man that cannot be brought down by alcohol
This is gold. Thanks for sharing.
What a gem .much obliged
“Follow the shoe!!!! - It’s a sandal!” 😂😂😂
My favorite comedy of all time.
The 6 of them eating together at 18.30 is as davinci-esque as it is python-esque

“Insomniacs and intellectuals... and burglars “

Michael Palin makes me question my sexuality just a little bit.
But you'we a Woman
@@RideAcrossTheRiver That's news to me.
@@BrokVoekler Youw fathew wasth not a Woman?
At 3min "...it's a comedy" - thanks for letting us know... 🤣
One must admire the dedication of Graham Chapman for managing to get drunk in Tunisia. No small feat.
(Almost) everything they did together or apart was really funny. I wish there was a hundred episodes of Fawlty Towers.
Well now I know where that foot came from.
43:55 - yeah, Graham, I would have doubts, too!
Anyone got a name?
“That’s just what Jesus said sir”
Thank Brain this movie was made thank to George.
Hi friends: Am I misremembering it, or wasn't there a longer version of this, with longer takes, less broken up, and more takes and retakes from scenes in Life of Brian where you saw them getting tighter and tighter until they were, as seen in the actual movie... perfect?
We've already got one you see?? You've already got a grail?? Yes its ah.. VERY NICE.
I love that bit where they're being too rich to speak
Although they have consented to wave at the camera😁
It’s funny because it’s actually true, I know because it happened to me.
I went to school with a former Lions player, we played front row together, decades later I met him after a rugby game and he refused to talk to me while he stood with my brother, who he also knew and my then 13 year old son.
I later found out he does this regularly, and charges €10,000 minimum to give speeches.
So, Scthum.
@@ClannCholmain Carl Sagan was a jerk like that. A Cornell sorority found out he was going to be alone, so they invited him for a holiday dinner. His reply was a request for an appearance fee. They clarified that they didn't want a speech, but were just inviting professors. He still insisted on a fee.
So the fraternity axross from his house strung out Christmas lights saying "EAT ME, CARL"
THANK YOU FOR THIS AAAAA
Brilliant they took the time here to talk with Spike.
Great to see this.
I recall watching this in 79.
