** The ''valet de chambre'', or Piss Boy, is a dead ringer for King Louis. Given the European monarchy's reputation for [[ReallyGetsAround sexual excesses]] and numerous illegitimate children running about, The Piss Boy may be the son of one of the King's father's female servants, making him and Louis half-brothers.
** Dovetails with WhatCouldHaveBeen, but John Cleese was asked to appear in the film. If he hadn't turned the offer down, he'd have had the great honor of appearing in ''two'' comedies about The [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus Spanish Inquisition.]]

** The [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "JEWS! IN! SPACE!"]] scene (part of the fake previews for ''History of the World Part II'') became a meme in 2021 after a bizarre comment by freshman Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA) that the severe wildfires in California in preceding years had secretly been started by Jews firing lasers from space.

** Stand-up Philosophers aren't just this movie's {{Flintstone them|ing}}ed standup comedians. In Roman times rich people would hire philosophers to talk at parties so they looked more cultured.
** There were slaves called "aurigas" who would whisper in victorious General's ears "Memento Mori" ("remember you are mortal"), though in their case they were reminding them not to aspire to godhood.

* AcceptableTargets: The Spanish Inquisition are on the mission to convert the Jews, who are constantly abused and tortured for laughs. (Bonus points for Torquemada who is played by [[Creator/MelBrooks a Jew]].)
** [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazis]], though this shouldn't come as a surprise as a Creator/MelBrooks movie.
* AuthorAppeal: The Roman segment ends with the main characters emigrating to Judea, plus, the final segment is called "Jews in Space" with the Jews defending themselves successfully against attack.
