Life of Brian - Blessed are the cheesemakers

Of course, not to be taken literally. All manufacturers of dairy products are equally blessed.

Classic. Just classic.

A bit of reality!

I just now got the deep irony in this scene after having seen it a billion times before. The quote they keep saying "blessed are the cheesemakers" is supposed to be "blessed are the peacemakers." At the same time two people begin arguing with each other and Brian says, "Lay off him." Brian is actually displaying peacemaking qualities by trying to calm down the argument.

Underneath the character humor and silliness there are quite deep social criticisms and hidden irony in Monty Python films.

I love this part if only because i imagine that when jesus did sermonize {i'm not sure of the actual word} people in the back were probably thinking as well "what did he just say? I don't know i can't hear a word over here."
