Hello Video Lovers,

While not quite as quotable as some of Monty Python's other films, like The Holy Grail, Life of Brian has a clever story and plenty of very funny scenes, like the one in today's video.

Here they tap into something everyone can relate to; trying desperately not to laugh in an extremely inappropriate situation. Michael Palin's affectation and straight-face delivery make it impossible not to laugh given the ridiculous circumstances.

Plus, you will never forget what the word 'risible' means after watching this scene.
