Brian: I am not the messiah.
Disciple: I say you are, and I should know. I've followed a few.

What IS the funniest movie ever ?

What I think is funny is very subjective and very fluid. What I think is funny depends on my mood, what is happening during the day, my mindset (which is different than mood)... So, what I think is funny today, I may not think is funny tomorrow, or may not have thought it funny yesterday.

Everything done by Zucker, Zucker and Abrams...some highlights are of course

The Naked Gun (and sequels)
Airplane

Add UHF to that and you can be my best friend.

To keep this thread mormon themed:

Orgasmo

I saw it when I was a TBM, and still couldn't keep myself from laughing at it.

MJ - you are giving away your age with that comment.

this is one of my favorite parts, the peasant's rant about systems of govt:

That scene was from Monty 'Python and the Holy Grail' another great movie, but not the 'life of Brian'. And yes, that is a great clip.

Blessed are the Cheese Makers!

i heard monty python and got all excited, bypassed brain function.

George Harrison was into eastern religion & philosophy,
and secretly funded the thing as a major Slam on Christianity.
then you have MORmONS that memorize the entire thing & know every line by heart & love it, but the real message goes right over their MORmON heads like a spy satellite! MORmONS!

Centurion to Pilate: It's a trick name, sir, Naughtiuos Maximus. Like Bigus Dickus.

Pilate: Careful, centurion, I have a very good friend in Rome by the name of Bigus Dickus.

General Laughter

Pilate: I will not be mocked by common soldiery!

Stifled chuckles as Pilate approaches a centurion and says to the soldier's face: How about you, centurion? Do you feel the urge to giggle, when I say the name...Bigus...Dickus?

The contortions in the soldier's mouth as he tries not to laugh are worth the price of the rental.

They call her Incontinentia Buttocks. :)

Who is this Greek? He says he's gonna inherit the earth!
Oh it's the meek! Well thats nice because they really do have a hell of a time.

When Jesus says "Blessed are the peacemaker" the characters are so far back they can not here very well and think he said "blessed are the cheese makers"

"he's obviously referring to all makers of dairy products".

Another favorite line in that scene: "He's making it up as he goes along!"

sorry.

May I suggest quote marks around quotes to help prevent confusion?

"Yo MJ!" "I hear you like "quotes", "so I'm going to put "quotes" around "quotes" and then you can "quote" the "quote"s when you "quote" me".
"""" end quote"

Doesn't address my point and there are proper ways of dealing with quotes within quotes.

Sometimes I forget that other posters don't waste as much time on the internet as I do, and may not be aware of my references to memes or jokes. The quote within quotes was a play on xzibit exhibit. Kind of random, sorry.

I assumed we'd all recognize it as such.

I also like where Brian's mother shouts at Jesus: Speak up!

And the rabble-rouser guy who calls everyone "Big nose."

He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

Right, now write it 100 times...

I stand by my outrageous claim. This movie has more witnesses than the book of Mormon! Thanks for all the replies.

Oh, is this your gord? Wait...is this your shoe! I'll follow you Don! Master, wait up!...Don!

Honestly, the part that made me laugh the most was when Brian's mom walks in on him and the nude woman. Nude goes into a long, passionate speach about Brian etc..and the mom replies: "Who the F^ck are you?!?"

I wrote that it was sacrilegious.

This was right before I left on a mission. Otherwise I loved Monty Python and could almost recite Holy Grail line for line. I've only seen clips and parts of Life of Brian since then ...

I need to get it and watch the whole thing again with a new perspective!
