* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Either it was a mistake to have Creator/{{Michelangelo| Buonarroti}} be the artist for "The Last Supper", or they were trying to show why he would have been a worse choice than Creator/LeonardoDaVinci. Michelangelo invokes this himself when the Pope is aghast that he has painted The Last Supper with ''three Christs'' in it; apparently [[RuleOfThree the fat one balances out the two skinny ones.]]

* CountryMatters: "Of course you don't get any f*cking wafers with it, you c*nt!"

* NoFourthWall: Much like ''Flying Circus'', the fourth wall doesn't appear to exist. At the beginning, Creator/MichaelPalin addresses the audience, and twice during the show the performers actually come off stage: Creator/JohnCleese is approached by Creator/TerryJones in the middle of the stands during the ''Albatross'' sketch, and during the ''Travel Agent'' sketch, John chases Creator/EricIdle around the audience, with them both climbing over railings and people's tables.

* VomitIndiscretionShot: The live show's version of the Crunchy Frog sketch features Terry Gilliam's character vomiting into his helmet on stage. And the Creator/GrahamChapman's character forces him to put his helmet back on.

-->'''Michealangelo''': Just one?

* ExcutiveVeto: InUniverse, "The Last Supper" would have been far worse if the Pope had insisted on just 12 disciples, no kangaroos, and only ''one'' Christ.

Filmed in 1980 and released on video in 1982, Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl is a live show filmed at the, you guessed it, Hollywood Bowl in California. Starring the six Pythons, Carol Cleveland and musician Neil Innes, the show recreated some of their most famous sketches, often with a twist, and also added some new material, as well as some of the footage from the German episodes.

* ArgumentOfContradictions: Just as in the original sketch, Michael Palin's trip to the argument clinic ends up as an argument like this, much to his irritation.

** Throughout most of the History of the Joke sketch, Terry Gilliam seems to be on the verge of laughing.
** In the Dead Bishop sketch, Eric Idle starts off the sketch by making Terry Jones corpse badly, but by the end, pretty much everyone on stage is barely able to contain their laughter.

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Neil Innes' rather normal rendition of his song Urban Spaceman is made hilarious by his slightly inept and probably under-rehearsed backing dancer, played by Carol Cleveland.

* NoFourthWall: Much like ''Flying Circus'', the fourth wall doesn't appear to exist. At the beginning, Michael Palin addresses the audience, and twice during the show the performers actually come off stage: John Cleese is approached by Terry Jones in the middle of the stands during the ''Albatross'' sketch, and during the ''Travel Agent'' sketch, John chases Eric Idle around the audience, with them both climbing over railings and people's tables.

* PieInTheFace: Terry Jones ends up covered in cream after this happens to him several times in the History of the Joke sketch. He is also the only one out of the three who doesn't actually get to throw a pie himself.
* PlankGag: During the History of the Joke sketch, Terry Jones and Michael Palin, the former more than the latter, are smacked in the head by a plank wielded by Terry Gilliam, who seems to be enjoying himself a little too much.

* VomitIndiscretionShot: The live show's version of the Crunchy Frog sketch features Terry Gilliam's character vomiting into his helmet on stage. And the Graham Chapman's character forces him to put his helmet back on.
* {(Woobie}}: Terry Jones gets tripped, knocked over and covered in pies repeatedly during the History of the Joke sketch, and he doesn't look very happy about it.
** The I've Got Two Legs singer also qualifies, since he gets shot, and killed, for no reason other than interrupting another sketch to sing.

* Woobie: Terry Jones gets tripped, knocked over and covered in pies repeatedly during the History of the Joke sketch, and he doesn't look very happy about it.

* Big "Shut Up!": The travel agent does this to Mr Smokes-Too-Much when he starts droning on and on about his misfortunes whilst on holiday, but it doesn't have the desired effect.

* {{Corpsin}}:

* Corpsing:

* Corpsing: Throughout most of the History of the Joke sketch, Terry Gilliam seems to be on the verge of laughing.

* Jerkass: Inspector Praline in the Crunchy Frog sketch, when he forces his unwell subordinate to put his vomit filled hat back on.

* PieintheFace: Terry Jones ends up covered in cream after this happens to him several times in the History of the Joke sketch. He is also the only one out of the three who doesn't actually get to throw a pie himself.

* GeniusBonus: Most of the references to philosophy in the football match only make sense if you know the theodicies and theories of the philosophers in a certain amount of detail.
