A killer slice of a very entertaining movie, The Crucifixion Scene
from Monty Python’s 1979’s Life of Brian!
This is a long piece, but please stay with it until at least the 9:12
mark to see the entire cross gathering/checklist scene with
Michael Palin, Eric Idle, and Terry Gilliam.
By all means keep going though, the audio and video are superb
all the way through, a very iconic series of events in this classic
piece of film history.
The best parts are all here, the speech impediment laden prisoner
pardon, the cross assignments, Eric Idle’s gleeful horse’s ass
character, the poor bastard good Samaritan, and the infamous
song on the cross scene!
Stay with it, it’s basically the last nineteen minutes of this masterpiece.
I’m still quoting it more than forty years later…

Jim Gaffigan at the Just for Laughs comedy festival
off of his 2009 King Baby release, doing the indolent thing.
I can relate, there was a time when I was as immobile as
they come, at this point in my life though my backside never
touches a couch or sofa of any kind.
Touches on some great comedic points…
