Life of Brian (1979) Trailer

[ignota25]

@Broezzz I suppose the Monty Python brand was so big back then they didn't really bother putting too much effort into it. It is disappointing though :(

[Broezzz]

Why does one of the.best movies ive ever seen have the worst trailer ive ever seen o.o

[samerjam101]

the trailer does not give the movie justice.

[CLICk000000000000]

you think this is funny? okay

[xxCerS]

@spikeycorn i dont know anyone who does :/

[xxCerS]

@fullboxxskater theres no problem with thatt :)

[RedheadDane]

Can anyone tell me (if there is) any reason behind this tagline?

The film that is so funny it was banned in Norway.

[offstride1]

@RedheadDane The film was actually banned in Norway, Ireland and a few other countries because of it's religious satire. Blasphemy.

[Husino]

I always heard this was one of the best movies ever but this trailer doesn't make me want to watch the movie actually.... is the whole movie like the trailer or was it just badly made?

[77Corwyn]

240 we meat again XD

[4EMOTIONSELECTRIC]

IM BRIAN! IM BRIAN! NO IM BRIAN! IM BRIAN AND SO IS MY WIFE!!! Lol Hahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahaha HOW SHOULD WE FUCK OFF O LORD!! Lol hahahahaha. Way to many funny moments to mention on here. The best comedy film ever made :-) YOU LUCKY LUCKY BARRRSTEAD l o l hahaha

[DDHTyeRBF]

why is this banned?

[DaleWF10]

@DDHTyeRBF Because in the United States there are too many quacked up religious group freaks who complain about it been shown

It's a British Film and it's not banned here

[differentandalike]

YOU SYMBOLIZE HOPE

[9i90s]

CHRISTIANITY AND COMEDY, IS POSSIBLE

[MrThomPS3]

@9i90s Not really, this movie was mostly banned due to christians whining about it.

[differentandalike]

YOU SYMBOLIZE HOPE

[bbutc]

This is my favourite film of all time.........and I've seen a few. 

[xxCerS]

im 14 and while everyone else watches all the shows like Gossip Girl and stuff, im proud to say i grew up watching Monty Python.

[fullboxxskater]

@xxCerS I grew up nickelodeon

[Rumpl4skn]

@fullboxxskater I grew up nickleback. It's almost as funny as life of brian.

[spikeycorn]

@xxCerS I'm of a similar age and it's incredibly common to meet others who've watched monty python.

[Anetuka]

20 Norwegians banned the film,

it's not strange to me that Swedish said "this film is so funny it was banned in Norway"

[CanIHazElectro]

@Anetuka this movie was never banned in norway?

[Anetuka]

@CanIHazElectro Yes sir, Life of Brian was banned for a year in Norway. It appears at the Trivia section in the filn's IMdB entry.

[CanIHazElectro]

@Anetuka haha, how fun! embarrassing to be norwegian when you think about it that way

[TheAdam1995]

I have to be honest I don't like it as much as ANFSCD and Holy Grail mainly because it's too crude for my taste but it was still an entertaining movie. It's my opinion so you don't have to agree with it.

[neondragonsisterz]

"bloody Romans grrrrr ".........xxx <3

[FAME4FUN]

friends i think you should watch jesus christ superstar too :)

[cinemaspaz]

What, this movie is OFFENSIVE! Everyone knows that g-d has low self-esteem and can't take being the subject of humor of his creations!

[Olivesandsweets]

great movie funny too <3 xD

[ERMgamer]

after the threw stones at him they were probobly like "WINNING!"

[kram83au]

best comedy movie ever. seen it when it first came out in 79. i thought back then, this should put an end to the childish stupidity of religion. dont underestimate the fool,the blind, the self deceiver, the crippled mind of course being the churchs favorite victim.oh how some people like to bath there minds in the rediculous.

[Liiezellx]

this movie is hilarious. xD saw it in class. btw, does anybody have a friend called Biggus Dickus? lol

[MsJolli96]

can't believe sombody dosen't like this movie... thats sick!

[sharkie541]

soooooo...... this is a parady of ben hur i assume

[xoxoMsLyricsxoxo]

The editing @2:02 is so funny!

[1relNL1]

0:55-0:58 heil hitler?

[Fantasy782]

Guys, I'm a christian and I love this movie.

[hungryman2500]

@Fantasy782 me too

[5tangerines]

@Fantasy782 Same here...And I got harshly critized by family and friends for watching this movie...Can't appreciate good British humor...=[

[bobgrantsbus]

Jehovah!

[Anetuka]

He wasn't the Messiah...he was a very naughty boy hahaha

[pmunkyandpals11]

My religion teacher showed this to us one day~I think he has a great sense of humor :)

[prisonernumber24601]

@pmunkyandpals11 God bless your teacher, he sounds awesome! LOL

[ThePokeyPictures]

mel brooks is waaaaayyy better

[eve0the0strange]

OMG i couldn't stop laughing at 0:49-0:52 XDXD

[biggles1111]

Technically it's not a very good trailer, but the movie is wonderful, and that stone line is absolutely hilarious!

[kcubuss]

this was the first movie ive ever seen , and its my favorite one since then, and this movie had also the best trailer of all time :D

[Freddykr00]

@araya1 look. Some American movies/series ARE good like 10 each year. Only problem is that like 1.000 others are complete failures.(each year) so, when Americans make 10 times more movies each year, and only 10 of them are good, and British make like 100, which are actually pretty good, then, yes, YOU CAN SAY THAT AMERICAN MOVIES SUCK BIIIIIIG TIME...

Monty pythons....

Damn, those ppl DID make good movies

[DaleWF10]

@Freddykr00 Adulthood, Inbetweeners Movie, Green Street, Shaun of the Dead, the Magicians, Hot Fuzz, Kidadulthood, Anuvahood, Ali G In Da House, East is East, Confetti, Mr Bean Movie, Run Fatboy Run, Kevin and Perry Go Large, Four Lions, Wallace and Gromit Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Johnny English and Johnny English Reborn, Guest House Paradiso, Burke and Hare, the Full Monty

All good British Comedy Films

[TheBigHase]

Yep! No girl called Brian lol ! I will love this forever!

[ProtestantIRA]

Is that Shirley Bassey singing the theme?

[Charrie1994]

Im from the netherlands, and they have a lot in America but sometimes I miss the good sense of humor, on TV then. I mean there are some funny shows but sometimes I miss this kind of humor, british humor I guess. This movie is sooooo funny! though its 30 years old

[TheOmegaRing]

The scene with the stoning was awesome!

I died laughing!

Jehova!

[Elyonia679]

George Harrison also produced this.

[notwhatisseems]

BEST MOVIE. If you can't handle some humor gtfo, thanks :)

[araya1]

Yeah, you British people are right, American humor does suck. Like the Simpson's, South Park, Family Guy, Beavis and Butthead, Chappelle Show, etc. Yeah all those guys are not funny and suck and of course all the british people can agree when I say that, right? Im american an saying this too! I think they should end all of american tv sows and not show them in the UK since it sucks so much an they can keep on with their own shows and cut out our US media completley.

[nuwavevidspud]

Brian Blessed should have been in this movie.

[Issun9000]

Who was that Jesus guy again ???

[HuckeysWorld]

i was blind and now i can see..ahhhh

[KuroiiTenshii]

lol the stoning part was funny

[LHansen47]

so much cooler than that jesus guy...

[MissKateUK]

@LHansen47 lol

[calciumkid85]

"Those days, getting stoned is not against the law, it was the law" LMAO!!

Damn! if you lived in north africa or any other predominantly islam country, it wasn't in "those days" but, it IS in "these days"!

[bambabi15]

wtf monty python is british... sillies

[castravet]

:))) love Monty Pythons

[BossHossGT500]

@polifom i did say chapman, stupid

[johnpetermalcolm]

What is it with some people? Why is it that some people can't watch a comedy, without bringing race, and / or religion into it? As for saying that the Americans have no sense of humour is total bollocks. The world's best comedian of all time was an American, called Geedubya. As he once said, "Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, the election was rigged".

[yourjjrjjrjj]

Is that Morgan Freeman narrating? 

[moviemaster00000]

yea it was boring

[kostantinos999]

hey.. don't talk if you don't know... ok..?? it's monty pythons.... not american bullshit.. they are british!!!! 1969-1983...!! their influence on comedy has been compared many many times to 'the beatles' influence on music!!! they were a fhenomenon at their age!!!!

[TylerMontana]

This is only funny when you're 14 years old.

[BathoryRequiem]

@TylerMontana I'm 47 years old .

[TylerMontana]

@BathoryRequiem see, when it came out you were 16. :P

[cellogirlMJfan]

@TylerMontana I'm 12 years old. my brother is 10. and idk how old our parents are, but they're certainly not 14. and we all love this movie. and I speak for many others.

[iOblivionIV]

AHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!! ... im gonna watch this film 2nite!!! ... ive seen alot of monty python films other than this one

[urta93]

This is like the funniest movie ever. Seriously, everybody should have watched this movie at least once.

[xxxxBartonxxxx]

Best Film Ever. End of !

Monty Python Were The Best !

[helloo515]

if u don't like this film, u have NO sense of humor! XD

[walkertexasranger77]

It looks funny, but im afraid i might not understand british humor.

[ACruelPicture]

@walkertexasranger77 Only swedish people douse. I should know becouse i am.

[LadyStardustVertigo]

Stoning IS the law in the Middle East now. Welcome to the XXI-th century.

Gotta see this movie!

[fragdurarse]

yay for british humour

[Darkony]

No wonder this movie was banned in many countries. It is miscreant & a waste of time !

[ParisPedant]

My god, I haven't seen such a crappy trailer for such an awesome movie as this is!

[courtmulcock]

Apperently this movie pissed off a lot of Christian people xD But I think it looks pretty funny (:

[homeskilletbiscuit49]

Holy grail looks funnier

[ParisPedant]

@homeskilletbiscuit49 Trust me it isn't. This is one of the best movies ever written, trust me on that!

[snicky58]

Thanks for this -- I don't remember ever having seen the trailer. This is one of my all-time favorite movies. It's laugh-out-loud funny, and it's a wonderful satire. (My favorite Monty Python's Flying Circus skit is also a great satire: The Ministry of Silly Walks.)

[homeskilletbiscuit49]

It doesn't look as good as The Holy Grail

[Nightmastercool97]

one of the Greatest films ever made partly due due to the fact that Brittish humor is quite refreshing due to its quirkiness, and poking fun at just about everything that Americans would never think in million years to poke fun of and also that it is a very giant leap from American brand of bland humor.

[tjodolF2]

@Nightmastercool97 And punctuation blimey the limeys just really love punctuation jolly good

[fentagin1917]

THE BEST COMEDY EVER!

[PliskinLee]

"Bloody Romans"!

[Ultimatum93]

I loved this movie so much

but these days british comedy isnt the same

maybe Im wrong but its all a bit too politically correct

so more and more im turning to american humour like two and a half men...which admitidtly is great

but I will miss monty python unrestrained british humour

[boagieking]

Just think if keith moon stayed alive a bit longer, he would have been in this movie

[MasterDeeTox]

Funniest movie I have ever seen

[1990JonasPoulsen]

The greatest movie ever

[danadepica]

...in a time where getting stoned wasn't against the law....it WAS the law!

[blackricky]

The people who say this movie is wrong....have no sense of humour and should be beaten with a bible lol

[SmartlilMGB]

A genius movie. Gotta love it!

[JakisElfiastyGruzin]

He wasn't a messiah. He was a very naughty boy.

:DDD

[ACompanyofSwans]

One of the best movies ever

[floppetylove]

theres a mess alright, but no

Messiah!

5* every time

[jinchengfredde]

the masters of comedy of all time ...

[dries86]

[newtland1]

@BossHossGT500 dude it's graham chapman!

[Kllaatuish]

[thedarksoldier3]

I love this movie! Its so fucking funny! xD

[29Gixxer]

lol I can't believe this film was actually banned for sometime. That would casue contreversy nowadays.

John Cleese is the God of comedy - along with his desciples :)

[ToshkoReturns]

Parody Movies about Religion are serious buisness!

[dogfart666ok]

ONE OF MY TOP 3 FILMS

"BRILLIANT!"

[dsmfishgal]

Looking forward to seeing this! :) I really love Monty Python's Meaning of Life.

[zmaj54]

LOL, getting stoned... was the law!!! XD LMAO

[scorp77snake]

Brian "are you the judean people's front"

Rel "fuck off"

Brian " what?"

Reg "judean people's front . we're the people's front of judea . judean people's front,god!!!!"

Francis "Wankers"

rofl god i love this movie so wish they'd made more

[emmykins64]

ughhh im american but this is much better OH NO!!!!!! is there a remake of fawlty towers thats american? why! that would be crap English version good american......... not good

[atthepistol]

well that doesn't make sense at all, what do you mean?

[vaxjoleksing]

I really love this movie, this is one of Monthy Pythons funniest movies. I also think it's one of the funniest movies ever made. I also love Search of the holy grail. Someone mentioned an American remake of Fawlty Towers, but I don't want to watch a remake that John Cleese do so much better. I'm from Sweden and my favourite humour is English and Swedish. One Swedish comedian you have to watch on youtube is Robert Gustavsson.

[jazzyslickboy]

american humour is shit. not even really humour. probably closer to drama

[Jesscookie1]

Well....it's not that story

Great movie, I tell ya X3

[kisbie]

Is that James Earl Jones on the voiceover?

[DeadMilkBoy]

Percy Rodrigues, best known for the "Jaws" trailers ("Just when you thought it was safe..."). But he also did many great comedy trailers, including this as well as Monty Python-related films like "Meaning of Life" and "A Fish Called Wanda."

"And now, it's up to Brian to deliver a despairing nation from the throes of oppression...tough luck, Jerusalem."

[kisbie]

Thanks for that. He does have a similar voice to Jones, but now I listen to it carefully, I can tell it's the same guy from almost all of Spielberg's early trailers. The teaser for Close Encounters is my favourite.

[remko2]

ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!

You've got to be kidding me, Benny Hill considered better then Monty Python ...... o, now I see ... American TV channels.

Well, let's see, the Americans rank just above Germans with there sense of humor, I bet that explains it.

(oh dear, has anyone ever seen the American remake of Falwty Towers ..... I rest my case)

[beersgood7]

remko2, I am American and sadly I must agree with you.

[galuidi]

Or 'The Office' !!!

[shawnmcghee1]

I remember seeing the Fawlty Towers remake. (That was the one with John Lawroquette, right?) It was like the writers weren't really trying.

But Americans have had some good comedy back in the old days. (Abbot and Costello, the Marx Brothers, etc.) These days, I think the problem is that American TV and movie producers are more interested in quantity of programming, rather than quality.

[MrMegadog]

There would be no American successful comedy without them first having learned from the masters- Monty Python.

[extremehiphopfreak]

@hanjoe28 its british...xD

[courtmulcock]

@hanjoe28 I'm not american and canadian but I think their movies are pretty damn funny (:

[rckandorroll]

@hanjoe28 how do explain the Simpsons then?

[dkaye111111]

@hanjoe28 i know, they don't understand pure genious.

[flathy111]

@hanjoe28 monty python are aussie

[jseth1981]

@hanjoe28 Monty Python was British, making them NOT American, making your comment irrelevant and stupid. 

[defstoner18]

@hanjoe28 hey! some of us aren't so daft.

[Shibuki]

What a movie! I loved it!

[makiavelli999]

MESSIAH?? There´s no Messiah, but there´s a mess alright! GO AWAY!! wewease wodewick! British humour at its very best!

[PurpleAndZeppelin]

Peliculon, la he visto 1000 veces.

[henny005]

yeah but the last seen has nothing to do with jesus ! it's just a funny movie and i love it ! :D

[metallica1193]

jesus christ, its a fucking movie

[metallica1193]

no no no i mean calm down, its not heresy, its a fuckin movie, and it was a great movie!

[arenstef92]

great movie, just great. I can understand that a lot of people feel offended by the last scene of the movie, tho

[missyadams]

My brothers and I still split our sides whenever we remeber this film, especially the ' bigus dickus' part! lol

[PFWoody488]

Where is our Monty Python today? If ever the world needed a bunch of silly buggers to point and laugh at the self righteous it is now. Hollywood comedy today is just so much spam.

[metallica1193]

i agree, i wish they could do a reunion or something, that would be amazing!

[remko2]

Yes, especially if Graham Chapman turned up for the occasion

[kissmewhereyoucan76]

"In those days getting stoned wasn´t agaist the law, it was the law"

I appreciate the liberal drug policy of the Iran.

[robertghouston]

Monty Python rules! I love this film

[Yownanymous]

"This isn't that story."

Listen to that, Catholics!

[BestManMe09]

READ!!!!

Benny Hill was considered funnier than Monty Python by a UHF station (WLVI TV channel 56 in Cambridge, Ma) that ran both! I agree!

[SilverSiana]

Ah, but Benny Hill never made a film, only a feature length clip show. Whereas this film was voted the best British Comedy Film by the viewing public.

Also, who's UHF? Is that like another channel 5 knock off?

[SteadyBob]

Even after all these years this is still, and will always be, the funniest film ever made!

[aJDfMDl]

hmmm, agreed

[jagatinho]

One of the best movies ever.

And George Harrison was the executive producer of Life of Brian.

[theherbilgerbil2029]

blessed are the cheese makers

[jimfromwigan]

"I am Brian, and so's my wife"...

so many quotes I remember and I haven't watched it in many a year.

[moviedudeinc]

Why is this movie rated R ?? curious. Im dying to see this movie so bad!!

[aJDfMDl]

well... it's not really. it's rater MA 15+ here in Oz, not sure where u are, theres nothing bad in it tho, its just satire that some people take seriously is all. Watch it, then you can die happy.

[TheOnlineOrgy]

ignoring the sex references, swearing and nudity

[aJDfMDl]

hmm, that too, brilliant movie tho

[Xigano1]

moviedudeinc,

Have you lived in a cave until one month ago ?

[DarkPascual]

"Apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a freshwater system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"

I punched a lung from laughing the first time...
