History YMMV / MontyPythonsLifeofBrian

* {{Woolseyism}}: The Swedish sub somehow manages to make the "Romanes eunt domum" scene even funnier by translating Brian's original botched Latin as "The Romanians go in the house [[note]]slang for "go to the bathroom"[[/note]]".

* TheWoobie: Brian, he never gets a break long enough, and every one of his friends leave for death.

* GeniusBonus: Some very early anti-Christian polemics alleged that Jesus was the bastard son of Mary and a Roman soldier named [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberius_Iulius_Abdes_Pantera Pantera]], similar to Brian's paternity.

** Well, presumably if they thought he was Jesus, bits such as when he appears nude after having sex with Judith don't go over that well.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Let's face it, do you know ''anyone'' who doesn't know "[[EarWorm Always Look on the Bright Side of Life]]"? Even the survivors of a British ship sunk during the Falklands War sang it while waiting for rescue.

* TheWoobie: Brian

** Some have speculated that it may be a reference to the [[ConspiracyTheory conspiracy theories]] regarding [=UFOs=] popping up in the backgrounds of paintings of Christ. Given the amazing amount of research done it's plausible, but doesn't seem to be the case.

* [[CrowningMomentOfFunny What's so funny about "Biggus Dickus?" I have a vewy gweat fwiend in Wome called "Biggus Dickus."]]

* MagnumOpusDissonance: The Monty Python crew consider this to be their masterpiece, but most other people say that the less controversial ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'' is the best thing they've made. Creator/JohnCleese once stated that most people in Great Britain are a fan of ''Life of Brian'', while Americans like ''Holy Grail'' better.
** It's simple really -- ''Holy Grail'' is sillier, more random, more madcap and for want of a better word more "Pythonesque", which some people find simply funnier. ''Life of Brian'' is arguably the better ''film'' and its humour is much more incisively satirical than the outright looney ''Holy Grail''.
* MoralGuardians: The natural enemy of the Python.

* ShownTheirWork: They managed to get a lot of historical details right in the film.
** When it comes to the controversy about the film, it rapidly becomes clear that the Pythons know what they're talking about a lot more than the MoralGuardians do.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: For a Monty Python film, ''Life Of Brian'' is very reasonably paced and well grounded -- save for the scene where Brian falls off of a tower to be saved by a passing flying saucer, taken into space to pass through an intergalactic war, and then brought back to Earth in a crash of alien metal -- right at the foot of the same tower. The scene was added merely to [[AuthorsSavingThrow give Brian a way to escape the tower]].

*** Even if Brian ''was'' Jesus, the charge that they were mocking him doesn't really stick - Brian is the OnlySaneMan.
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Let's face it, do you know ''anyone'' who doesn't know "[[EarWorm Always Look On the Bright Side of Life]]"? Even the survivors of a British ship sunk during the Falklands War sang it while waiting for rescue.
* HilariousInHindsight: The scene were Stan/Loretta defends his right to have babies is even funnier with the advent of MisterSeahorse fan fiction.
