Biggus Dickus - Monty Python's Life of Brian Reaction!

[@forestsmith1892]

Fun fact. All the soldiers who start laughing at Bigus Dickus had no warning about the dialogue of that scene, so their reactions are 100% authentic.

I love it that you guys love this. When I went to school everybody on the bus would quote this scene constantly. My favourite quote is ' i have a great friend in Rome called Bigus Dickus, he ranks as high as any'. Even the bus driver would laugh and say 'see you tomorrow bigus'. I am glad that you both liked it!

For me the best line was you're f ING nicked when they catch him.

I've always loved it when he tells the soldiers that Biggus has a wife. The guard on the left gives a look that says "Of course he does, dammit".

The genius of Monty Python was shown in the Holy Grail movie. Their budget didn't stretch to real horses, so they used coconut shells to simulate the sound of hooves and wrote it into the script.

[@philshorten3221]

So many great scenes, one of my favourite is:- Brian gets caught writing "Romans go home" in Latin on a wall by a Roman soldier.... But the soldier points out that Brain has actually written "Roman they go the house" The soldier then gives Brian a Latin Grammar lesson! With the final schoolboy punishment for his mistake of.. "now write that out 100 times"! Absolutely brilliant!

[@fibrown444]

My high school Latin teacher let us watch/read anything related to the Romans - so we watched this countless times due to that scene alone! Probably why my PhD relates to the Romans.

When the Extras were hired for this scene, they were told that if they laughed, they wouldn't be paid. So, they did their level-best not to laugh (They paid them of course in the end, but they wanted their best effort).

[@robanderson473]

Glad you both like it! A true classic comedy. "I will not have my fwends widiculed by the common solderwy!" " No Wudolph the Wed Nose Weindeers" "No Th'penther Twaythies." 🤣

no idea how Palin is able to keep his composure. This is a classic from start to finish.

[@jeffreymorgan8687]

John Cleese and the guy who played the Cesar both had a bet going that they could get the extras to laugh and break character during the shoot for biggus dickus. And so he told the extra not to laugh or they wouldn’t get paid and the whole biggus dickus was just that one Actor trying to get them to break character.

[@tombruncker7013]

The look on the centurion’s face after Biggus say’s hail ceased is beautiful

[@Excanda]

Yeah John Cleese plays his role quite well there. It almost looks like he didn't know which speech-impediment he would be faced with and just goes ...What?

[@reenation1049]

It’s „Hail Cesar!“ :-)

[@Parknest]

These scenes are prime examples of why this is the best Monty Python film. It really plays on the rhotacism of Michael Palin's portrayal of Pontius Pilet. The extras playing the soldiers in the Biggus Dickus scene were given orders not to laugh and were told they would be sacked from the production if they did so. This resulted in their realistic reactions which is testament to the directing skills of the late great Terry Jones. Even the Pythons (Michael Palin, John Cleese & the late great Graham Chapman) were struggling to remain composed. I knew somebody with the same speech impediment as Pontius Pilet and funnily enough he was called Brian (I kid you not!).

[@jwrockets]

I heard that Palin ad-libbed much of the monologue. You can see Cleese struggling to not crack. He was at Palin's mercy because he had no idea what he was going to say next.

[@simonrichards6739]

The Python's great hero, Spike Milligan got a cameo part in this film and they played a trick on him in filming. The film could not have been made without the financial support of George Harrison.

[@Angelic_Storm]

@@Trev359 Medical transitioning has been around since the 1930's. The book burnings at the Hirschfield Institute by the Nazis contained studies about gender dysphroria, and medical transition. It's a myth pedalled by ignorant bigots that trans people didn't exist until a few years ago.

[@Theomite]

Everybody misses the running joke throughout this entire scene: Caesar's speech impediment isn't an impediment, it's a reflection of his education. Pronouncing his "r" that way indicates that he's speaking Classical Latin, which would've pronounced "v" and "r" that way; "Veni Vici Vidi" is pronounced "Wenny Weechy Weedee" in Classical. It implies that everyone else is speaking Latin Vulgaris, which would be the commoner version of the language.

[@ftumschk]

Classical Latin didn't pronounce "r" as "w". In fact, the "r" was verrrry much prrronounced, as it is in modern Italian and other languages derived from Latin.

[@polar315]

Great reaction video. Lots of fun. Another classic is Blazzing Saddles. The first movie to have a fart on screen. Be prepared though. It has the ability to offend everyone. No way the movie could be made now. Told a mmuch younger buddy about it. He had 5 friends over to watch it and each one of them were dinged a couple of times. He was warned. Said it was halarious it was so over the top.

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

The thing I really find hilarious about the scenes is the look on the Centurion's (John Cleese) face when he hears Pilot and Biggus' speaking. He's like, "Does everyone from Rome (or as Pilate would say "Wome.") have a speech impediment?"

[@kennford]

most of the laughing you hear during the biggus dickus scene especially after "incontinentia buttocks" were actually camera men and crew members who didnt know what was coming lol. the "pppshh" you hear right after he says the line was 100% a boom mic operator also i love how john cleese's character says the crowd isnt fucking with pontius pilate then waits until after pontius pilate says he will release "wodwick" in jail then tells him there isnt a Rodrick like he wanted him to fall for it. small things like that made those guys so funny😂 "sorrysir"😐 then he started reading off the worst names for someone with a lisp to read lmfao

[@NoelMcGinnis]

Enjoying reaction channels was a bit of a creeping surprise to me, but here I am. I really enjoy seeing film and song that I grew up with and loved, being seen and heard for the first time by good people that are cultures and continents apart from my own. I also love seeing friends apart still being able to share good times thanks to the power of the interweb as you are. 2 suggestions. Work on your vocal audio, it is too tinny and slightly annoying despite your bubbling charisma. The balance between your vocals and what you are watching is good, some channels get that very wrong and it is a very important level, so well done to you. Get better mics and turn down the treble and up the bass on the vocals. You have the potential to do well, and I hope you do. The 2nd bit of advice. Get some Black Sabbath In your life!

Nobody does schoolboy humour as good as the Pythons. I highly recommend you watch all of this movie, one of the funniest comedies ever made. Beatle George Harrison financed it and you might spot him in a crowd cameo. Other memorable scenes are the stoning scene, classic Python silliness. When this movie came out originally, some local councils in the UK tried to ban it because it satirises religion. Needless to say, it only encouraged people to see it, you can't buy publicity like that!. John Cleese appeared on British TV defending the movie against objections by church officials. A comedy show on TV at the time, Not the 9 O'clock News - a satirical sketch review of the weeks news - did a sketch about it (you should check that out too although as it was topical at the time, some of it has dated badly in 45 years).
