本片是唯一一部进入IMDB前50排名的“无厘头”电影。片中“巨蟒团”六名核心成员每人出演了4-10个角色，包揽片中大部分角色。

　　本片是英国著名的喜剧团体Monty Python的成员特里琼斯 (Terry Jones)导演的一部荒诞不经的调侃宗教的电影,故事的发生地在巴勒斯坦,讲述了一个普通的男人被世人误认为是弥赛亚(犹太人企盼的复国救主)，由此引发了许多啼笑皆非的故事，一如Monty Python所有的电影那般，特里琼斯在这部电影中也使用了大量荒诞无厘头的笑料，电影以圣经为原型，由头至尾都充斥着颠覆，嘲讽的意味，对于虔诚的宗教人士来说，这部电影确实是场巨大的灾难。

The Pythons redo their old sketches in their last show ever.

Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus consisted of two 45-minute Monty Python specials produced by WDR for West German television in 1971 and 1972. The two episodes were first broadcast in January and December 1972, respectively. They were shot entirely on film, mainly on location in Bavaria and in the German language, although the second episode was originally recorded in English and then dubbed into German. According to the Python's autobiography The Pythons, this was due to the fact that only John Cleese and Michael Palin could be easily understood by the German audience during the first episode. The other Python performers all had very thick accents (particularly Terry Jones), making them difficult to understand. According to the book in some cases the episode was even broadcast with German subtitles. Some of the material was reworked from At Last the 1948 Show. Footage from these specials was used to fill time between live stage performances. At one point the team considered editing the two shows together, dubbing them completely into English and releasing them as a 90-minute film, but it never came about.

英国无厘头鼻祖“巨蟒小组”（Monty Python）曾以《巨蟒与圣杯》、《万世魔星》等片风靡全球，直到1989年主力之一格雷厄姆·查普曼因病逝世，特瑞·吉列姆、特瑞·琼斯等人各自单飞，小组才逐渐走向解体。今日，格雷厄姆·查普曼传记动画片《撒谎精自传》首度曝光预告，巨蟒老友团重聚为本片配音，恶搞无厘头风格比以往有过之而无不及。

这是一部仿纪录片，由主持人John Cleese通过几个小品教导大家如何在不同环境下激怒不同的对象。激怒别人的手法轻重十分重要，既能够尽量避免受害人爆发而造成自身不必要的损伤，又能够使受害人的脑细胞发生最大程度的创伤。
In this mock-documentary, John Cleese narrates a series of sketches on irritation -- types and techniques. Included are parents irritating their children, old ladies irritating movie-goers in a theater, an overly subservient waiter, a car repairman denying obvious car trouble, a party guest hinting for a ride, airplane pilots playing practical jokes on their passengers, and a talk show host who doesn't stop talking.

the formative years of Monty Python, the British comedy group that changed modern comedy

Following Gold's live broadcast of the Monty Python team's last-ever performance in July, this new five-part series looks at the group's influence on the comedy world.
Monty Python's Best Bits (Mostly) brings together some of the biggest names in comedy, who reveal how the group influenced their own careers and changed comedy forever.
Steve Coogan, Mike Myers, Stephen Fry and Matt Lucas are just some of those who explain what makes the Pythons so special and the impact they had on their own material.
The series features some of Monty Python's best sketches - including the dead parrot sketch and Ministry of Silly walks - and explores how these went on to influence other writers and performers.
This is the definitive series on the mighty Pythons and their comedy legacy.

It is said that the Beatles sometimes regarded Monty Python as taking over the spirit where they left off. Certainly George Harrison must have thought so when he risked his money to found Handmade Films, just so that Monty Python could make Life of Brian. This program was made after ten years of Handmade Films' films.

Pleasure At Her Majesty's was the name given to the filmed release of A Poke In The Eye (With A Sharp Stick), the first of the Amnesty International comedy benefit galas. The title is a play on the phrase At Her Majesty's Pleasure (the show was performed at Her Majesty's Theatre, London). In America, the film was originally called Monty Python Meets Beyond the Fringe.
This show came to be considered part of the Secret Policeman's Ball series of shows that it inspired, although it pre-dated the first show in the series by three years.
The event was organized by a team of three: Monty Python member John Cleese, Amnesty's Assistant Director Peter Luff and Transatlantic Records executive Martin Lewis. It featured the cream of Britain's comedic talent of the era, setting a precedent that would inspire many subsequent Amnesty galas, as well as Comic Relief. The concept was also the inspiration of similar events, also in aid of Amnesty International in countries around the world as far away as Australia, in the case of the Stand Up For Your Rights Comedy Galas.
The film consists of both on-stage and back-stage footage, taken from all three nights of the run (1–3 April 1976).
Luff and Lewis collaborated on producing the successor show - video-taped in 1977 as The Mermaid Frolics. Then Cleese and Lewis teamed up (with Amnesty's new fundraising director Peter Walker) in 1979 to create The Secret Policeman's Ball - the first show to carry what became the iconic Secret Policeman's Ball title.
