We were all laughing, but my dad especially so. In fact, it was the hardest I had ever seen him laugh. It was like tears were shooting out of his eyes. He'd been a Disney and Hanna-Barbera animator, and was used to crazy humor, and--from being in the Navy--where the Art & Animation Department was a bunch of pranksters, blowing off steam from the stress of WWII. And, from being a fan of "serious" British films, he was very much into the parodying of officialdom (which Python does in spades).

@@exsision3039 heres is the classic pasta "I have a physical copy of Monty Python's Encyclopythonia; which contains some interviews with the Python members. It's not that the guards weren't aware of the script. They were. However, when the scene was being shot, one of the actors couldn't help but laugh because of Michael Palin's character. It was just that funny. Instead of ending the scene, Palin stayed in character and approached the guard; resulting in the scene you are referring to. However, that does not prove that the guard's reactions (after their initial unintended outburst) were genuine. They could have picked up on the fact that Palin was improvising, and they continued the scene based on how Palin was steering the conversation. Monty Python is well known for its improvisation. In improv, when you are dealing with more than one actor; all actors need to understand what they are acting out, and will therefore "build a sketch together" on the fly. Presumably, only the initial laugh was genuine. The rest is simply a continuation of the scene in an improvised manner."
