The spaceship was clearly essential for the plot. How else could Brian have gotten down from the tower?

Brilliant in so many ways. It's hilarious that many who protested it missed the point of the movie: It was about people who miss the point.

I'm from the city of Glasgow, Scotland. When it came out in the theatres. Glasgow was one of the many places to ban it due to what they viewed as blasphemy. Myself and a group of pals walked all the way to a neighbouring town outside the Glasgow boundaries that DIDN'T ban it, and watched it there. As for the spaceship scene, that was for the benefit of the animator, Terry Gilliam because he didn't have any animations to do for the actual movie itself, so they gave him this scene to do.

Judith was played by Sue Jones-Davies a Welsh actress who became mayor of Aberystwyth. The town had prohibited all showings of the movie for 30 years due to her nude scene. In 2009 she managed to get he film shown publicly in a screening attended by Michael Palin and Terry Jones.

In the Biggus Dickus scene the guards were actually extras that were just told to stand there and not laugh, but were not told what was going to happen. That was their real reaction.

Not many people know that, not only are Monty Python exceedingly funny, but are also excellent for cardiac therapy and cheek massage.

I loved how Amy pursed her lips distastefully when the Roman Guard was told by Brian's Mother to wait a few moments. Ha ha.

18:05 " I was not expecting there to be any....😳😳😳" That shocked face was hilarious, great comedy timing albeit accidental. Gave me a real good laugh.

Glad you like (and get) our sense of humour, from this side of the pond. And so glad it made you smile. Stay well!.

Monty Python"s "The Meaning of Life" is also hilarious.. and one of the Pythons, Terry Gilliam (also their animator) went on to have a huge directing career.. several of his films are very Pythonesque... like "Time Bandits", "Brazil", and "The Adventures of Baron Munchhausen"... all 3 are all time classics.

The song at the end is the most popular song at funerals in great Britain.

I SAW THE HOLY GRAL AND LIFE OF BRIAN AND I HAVE TO SAY LIFE OF BRIAN GAVE ME MORE LAUGHTER

Monty Python always used random bits of animation in their TV shows and movies, and it was the American member of the group Terry Gilliam who did all that stuff, then went on to direct a good number of successful movies. Just part of the silliness that we all love....

This movie was so funny and not what I expected when I watched it. Monty Python is a treasure hahaha

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou! Such a joy to watch and hope it brightened your soul just a little ❤

First video I've seen of yours. Very well edited. The highlight was 18:10 "I was really not expecting there to be any- 😮" Hilarious!! 🤣🤣🤣

The BBC TV shows were great, and you can find many of their best sketches on KZfaq! Examples include "The Cheese Shop," "Crunchy Frog," "The Argument Clinic," "The Lumberjack Song," "Spam," "The Dead Parrot," "The Ministry of Silly Walks," and my very favorite, "The Fish Slapping Dance." The last one is less that 90 seconds, but just thinking about the name of it has me laughing out loud!

When I'm feeling down in the dumps, all I have to do is put this movie on and my troubles go away. I first saw this movie when it first came out, I think I was 16, and I left with my face hurting and my gut feeling as if I had done a hundred sit-ups. This movie is a marvelous example of how religions get started. 😂🤣The "miracle" of the blind man, who can see, then falling into the hole in the ground still makes me laugh. And both of the Romans having speech impediments is mad hilarious! I used to work in a hospital as a PCT. And one day I had to clean up my first dead patient--alone. I really was okay with it, but you still feel a bit nervous with your first one. And I have seen first time techs, do some strange things to get by. And I was no exception, as I was cleaning him up, I realized that I was quietly singing & whistling the end song from this movie. And I also realized I was singing it to my very dead patient. "So always look on the bright side of Death. Just before you draw your Terminal Breath. Life's a piece of shit When you look at it. Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true. You'll see it's all a show, Keep 'em laughin' as you go. Just remember that the LAST Laugh is on you." Oh man, I was so lucky his family didn't show up at my musical performance for their family member. But the real strange thing that occurred, while I was singing and whistling, was I thought for sure I saw a smile come onto his face; and both of his feet were moving back and forth to the song. Who says the Dead or Jehovah (wait for the whistle!) don't have a sense of humor? Whoever believes that I only have to say, "Silly Person".

Personally for me, your health is more important than a reaction video. Also I absolutely love Monty Python so this video was a highlight of my day.

The aliens are surely a joke about the book Chariots of the Gods which started the 'ancient aliens' thing. It was popular at the time!

It's a pity that almost no one realizes that "I am Brian!" is a parody of "I am Spartacus!" from the 1960 historical drama film "Spartacus" with Kirk Douglas.

Got to love Life of Brian. Great reactions.

Glad you were able to find a movie that hit the right spot for you and hope everything works out well for you! For other comedies to lift your spirits I always recommend Mel Brooks. Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, and Young Frankenstein are classics.

In a deleted scene, the two groups that attempt to each kidnap Pilat's wife, do agree to do it together and later argue over who has claim to her. But when they break in to her room, she's revealed to be eight feet tall and stronger than the whole lot of them (its a man playing her). She escapes in to the hallways, runs around with them chasing her. And then doubles back to her room, locking the door. This leads to the two groups getting in to a fight over it.

If you watch the DVD with the commentary tracks from the Python guys, they fill in the blanks about some of the goofy stuff like the space ship, Pontius Pilot's speech impediment, and many other things. Regarding the nudity, I can tell you when this was first released in the theaters in August 1979, NO ONE expected it!! But there was no protesting it. It is one of my favorite movies, and the Biggus Dickus scene is THE funniest one!!

Yes Monty Pythons Flying Circus was their half hour comedy sketch show on the BBC they did before they started making these movies.

Hi Amber, first-time to your channel, and because of your reaction, I just liked and subscribed. PS Love your accent (it’s not an accent where you’re from, but I never hear it in Fremantle Western Australia 🇦🇺) thanks for your reaction, Geoff.

I have seen this movie many times, and love it every time. One time, I had a stroke while watching it (and not even got to the Biggus Dickus scene yet).

Love the ex-leper bit. "Bloody do-gooder!"

The greatest pisstake in the history of pisstakes

Caused a huge controversy when released and was banned is some parts. Michal Palin has to be he MVP here, going from the upside down prisoner to Pontius Pilate. Loved the alien design, just a hand holding an eyeball.

This was a really fun reaction! You have a terrific laugh and should do more comedies.

The intro should have been something like: "Today I was going to watch Predator. And now to something completely different."

You are the messiah and I should know I've followed a few. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Loved your reaction to this, and that you "got" all the silly British humour ! So true about it making your face hurt, I remember being in tears laughing at this first time round :D And we still use lots of the lines in daily life ! "You're All Individuals... "

Aww u cut out the spoon, the first time the guards went in to search the house they couldn't just find the people hiding, they couldn't find anything at all, the second time they found a spoon, John Cleeses facial expression when he looks at the spoon is priceless 😂 U should check out Mr Bean too, it is only 15 short episodes but it has become a true iconic bit of british humor

I loved this! I’ve seen this til so many times and while I still find it funny I doesn’t always make me lol anymore. So watching it vicariously thru you made me bust a gut. 😂😂😂 thanks Amber

Thanks for that. Was a real treat watching you laughing and enjoying the Life of Brian (oh...and, of course, I get the added bonus of a few clips of that great film)

winky do?!!! Nobody expects the 'Winky Do!"

You might also like the comedy horror spoof, "Transylvania Twist" in its opening sequence it has Freddy, Jason and Leatherface chasing a woman through a forest and into a cave.... There is also Angus Scrimm from the Phantasm movies parodying his role from that series, lots of silliness, visual puns, and sight gags. ;)

Got to love a woman who appreciates the humor of Life of Brian!

I've seen a fair few reactions to this and you seem to have been the first to recognise the Sermon on the Mount!

It's real sad about your tachycardia, I am terribly sorry to hear that. I know you do better because you've made more videos. But I'm real glad you did the Life of Brian. I love that movie and I'm sure you're going to enjoy it too. Love the hair blue and or candy red hair looks really good to me. But I was born about 45 years too late. ❤

Fantastic job! It was fun to watch you enjoy this classic!

thx for laughing with me... love your reactions.

Believe me, Brian would have the same ring to it if people had used it for 2000 years...

It's a blast to see you laughing! Best wishes for you and your son. :)

This was being filmed about the same time as Star Wars and the spaceship was the boys' "homage" to the film.

Good reaction. You're quite a bit sharper than a lot of other reactors and seemed to grasp the more nuanced jokes as well as the obvious stuff. Nice

I'm Brian, and so's my wife!

Great reaction, fun seeing you cackle to this.

Thank you for introducing me to a brand new experience.....an American who understood ALL of the gags and humour. I'm not a doctor, but in my experience the best way to get your heart rate down is to lay on the sofa, put on some soothing classical music and smoke a biggy. I know what it's like to have a racing heart, I experience it every time I see you on your channel, and that's positively dangerous for a 61 year old former hippie and rock drummer 😂 But seriously, I hope you're feeling better soon sweetheart. ✌❤🇬🇧

My dad is Jewish and I remember the first time he saw this he could barely breath.

I can relate, I have tachycardia too. The beta blockers help a lot. I wouldn't have watched if it was the predator thing, it was great watching you react.

Just came across your channel, great reaction to an amazing movie. I hope you're feeling better, and remember to always look on the bright side of life

Ive seen this movie when i was 8 o9r years old. Memories !!! N

I saw a Latin expert breakdown the graffiti scene and they had it spot on. Heard that in the Biggus joke the extra's were told to stand there and not laugh. Cannot decide which is better, this or Holy Grail. The gender debate. Your face when Brian opened the window lol. Great movie and glad you agree.

That's cool. I have to take drugs for anxiety, depression and agoraphobia so enjoy the film. :)

So happy this helped. Please put your health first.

18:12 Now you understand the Biggus Dickus joke.

Thank you for this reaction, I enjoyed it - and I do hope your health improves. One thing that I've not yet seen noticed by a reaction video to this film is the cameo by Spike Milligan. Check it out - it's in the scene where they're arguing over whether the gourd or the sandal is important. He tries to calm them down, then realises they've all run off and he looks around awkwardly. I just love that performance and I think he might be the most naturally funny man who ever lived.

Thanks for your reaction. Us English take pride in our humor and it's definitely our biggest export. Look after your health. You need to be very calm and relaxed for a predator reaction video.

Pretty sure this is the movie billed as "So funny it was banned in Norway".

This film is basically a great critique of the meaninglessness of religions

"We found this spoon, sir!" "Youre all individuals!" "Im not." "Youre fucking nicked, me old beauty!" Those are my fav quotes 😅

Great post of a fantastic film.

Thanks for sharing. I love Monty Python. I love reacts and I loved your laughter. Don't restrain yourself, let go of control, watch some fun movies and you'll attracts lots and lots of viewers, I tell ya!

If you liked that song it makes a guest appearance in the movie "As Good as it Gets" staring Jack Nicholson (another one to make you chuckle 😉)

I've been here 5yrs they only Hung me up the right way Yesterday.

The funniest movies of all time are "Borat" and "Spinal Tap" with Borat 2 and Bruno as honorable mentions. All deserve a reaction. Thanks for this one.

Great, genuine reaction video. You obviously have a great sense of humour. 😎👍

Amber, gas tends to trigger tachycardia, fyi. I have found that taking a chromium supplement, when it happens or when it feels like it's about to happen, can nip it in the bud. That plus other gas-reduction methods can help.

Enjoyed the reaction and I absolutely love your accent. Best wishes from England.

When I see people reacting to this movie I always wait for the spaceship scene. The looks of total confusion are hilarious. The spaceship scene does several things at once. First, this came out shortly after Star Wars, so aliens were on people’s minds, and a spoof on that was certainly called for. Also, it gave them a chance to send up “Deus Ex Machina” cavalry to the rescue type scenes. And finally as noted by one of the other commenters, it does allow Brian to get back down to the bottom of the tower without being captured. An excellent choice of movie!

I always looking for genuine reaction channels. Movies. Watched a few and just find them fake . But yours is genuine. So new subscriber 😊

Great reaction! Easy to enjoy the movie and your reactions as well.

Very well edited... Nice one G

Don't give up، I hope someday you'll become a great KZfaqr.

This was their best. The show you were thinking of is called Flying Circus. This movie was bankrolled by George Harrison of the Beatles.

It is also hilarious looking at the reactions from the religious groups back when this movie came out. They thought it was making fun of Jesus but when you look at the Sermon on the Mount the lines are fine but they simply make fun of the fact that people far away couldn't really hear. Then the ex-leper again, in this movie Jesus is seen performing a miracle even if the recipient didn't see it that way. Well, maybe the message the religious people hated the most in the movie was that we're all individuals and don't need to follow anybody. They certainly have an issue with that one.

1.) I am so sad to hear about your son, and I would have understood if you didn't do any video at all. I hope he's doing better today. 2.) It worked out for me that you didn't do "Predator" because I never watch reactions for that movie.....but watch EVERY "Life Of Brian" reaction! I hope your cheeks stopped hurting from laughing! This has to be one of my favorite Life Of Brian reaction videos because you already knew Python! I believe you are the ONLY reactor who has actually seen a little bit of the TV series before they watched one of the movies! You basically knew what you were in for, and that makes all the difference. 3.) MOST IMPORTANTLYY: I've seen this movie a million times, I never ever caught the line: "As empires go, this is the big one!" THANK YOU! That's why I love reaction videos! You singled that line out, and now I'll never forget it! :D 4.) Only one reactor has ever done the TV series (Dawn Marie) and it really built up her channel. Since each episode is only a half hour, there aren't that many of them, and it looks like you could use a steady of infusion of comedy, I thought I'd throw that out there. The series has so many classic bits and sketches and they are MUCH better watched in context of an episode rather than just clips from them. THANKS!!!!!

Wonderful reaction! You've got a great sense of humor and you could see your face just relax. You needed this😊 more British humor, you might want to start with either Peter Kay or Al Murray. You have the intelligence for either one

I have a squirrel, that comes to my window, everyday. I wasn't sure if they were a male of female so I call her Loretta. :P

'There you go judith' she said that like it was normal.

Watching Pwedator? Wait until Biggus Dickus hears about this!

Was so much fun to watch this beautiful young lady seeing Life of Brian for the first time. Just don't tell my wife Incontinentia Buttocks. 🤣

Predator……my No1 favourite film

I saw this movie in the theater when I was in my teens. And have always thought it was one of the funniest movies ever made. I wish there was a comedy group to match Monty python but there isn't. Some have come close Mel Brooks, or Leslie Nealson but not the same

Winkydoo? 🤣

Glad you enjoyed this film and that you had prior experience of Monty Python. If you haven't seen them yet I highly recommend... Red Dwarf, Blackadder (The first series is a bit strange, but after that it gets better and better.), Men Behaving Badly, Only Fools and Horses and Bottom (The live stage shows are brilliant.). All that's left for me to say is ...."I'm Brian, and so's my wife!".

Carry on Screaming....british horror movie gold😈👍

Judith's (Sue Jones-Davies) home town effectively banned this movie, because of her nude scene. Eventually, she became a town councillor, & arranged for its first ever screening in Aberystwyth, 30 years after its release.

Weweese wodga 23:42 just sing this tune when you feel anxious.....works

Nobody wanted anything to do with making that movie. In my opinion it's one funniest movies ever made

This movie is a lot like onions (to paraphrase Shrek).,.. it's got many layers to it. Each rewatch helps you pull back another layer and love this film even more than your last watch :)

great movie, great reaction ! take care of yourself, and always look on the bright side of life ;)

First time watching one of your reactions and I really love this movie, so it's always nice watching someone else really enjoying it too, I also like a lot of the other movies you're reacting to so I've hit the sub button, have you ever watched the Cornetto Trilogy?

Dang someone is sounding all cute and country.

This wouldn't be for a reaction channel (or at least not one that does movies), but since you're a fan of British humor, I highly recommend the show "Taskmaster". It's a competition show like no other, with five comedians and/or TV presenters doing odd and often ludicrous tasks to please the Taskmaster (comedian Greg Davies), trying to earn enough points to at the end of the season win a gold-painted hollow bust of Greg's head. For your channel, though, if you haven't seen it, Monty Python alum Terry Gilliam's movie "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" is amazing.

The funny thing is that Jebus was a much more common and Chavy name in Jebus's time than Brian has ever been.
