Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "I was born in Jerusalem, next door to Jesus. At the age of 30 I joined the People's Front of Judea. Oh, and one more thing, I'm not a Roman, I'm Jewish!"

Answer: Brian Cohen

This is the main character of "Life of Brian". He wound up being crucified, but made a friend on a nearby cross--they sang "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" together.
2. "Don't grovel! I hate groveling and don't avert your eyes! *sigh* Such actions depress me, just like those miserable psalms."

Answer: God

God is the one character who appears in all three "Monty Python" films. This version of God was in "Holy Grail". Towards the beginning of the film God appears to King Arthur and his knights, to give them the quest to find the Holy Grail.
3. "I love a good meal, especially accompanied by six crates of ale. The chef just better not skip on the pate, and that waiter had best bring a bucket."

Answer: Mister Creosote

This skit was featured in "The Meaning of Life". This skit featured an incredibly obese man entering a restaurant and consuming a rather large meal--and at the same time, puking his guts out. Initially it was placed in the "reject" pile when Terry Jones, the writer, first presented it to the group.

They resurrected it for the film, and the funniest part of the skit ended up being the French waiter. "Finally sir, a wafer thin mint!"
4. "I'm a skilled swordfighter, even when my limbs get hacked off. Just don't cross my bridge!"

Answer: The Black Knight

This famous scene appears in "Holy Grail". When the Knight has lost both arms and one leg, John Cleese found it too difficult to hide his entire leg--especially since he's over 6.5 feet tall! So the Pythons hired a one-legged man to stand in for that shot. When the Knight loses his final limb, John Cleese returns to the set, sitting comfortably in a hole in the ground.
5. "Don't ask me questions about my presence here! Why should I listen to you, you silly ka-niggit? And one more thing, go away or I'll throw a goat at you!"

Answer: The French Taunter

Also from "Holy Grail", this character appears twice in the film: first, towards the beginning of the film when they set out on their quest, and then again at the Castle of Ugh at the end. This is one of John Cleese's most famous characters. "Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!"
6. "I am the leader of the Womans in Jewusalem. Evewy year I welease a pwisoner for the Jews. For some weason though, they always ask for Weginald, Wudolph and Wobert."

Answer: Pontius Pilate

This character is from "Life of Brian". Pilate was the man responsible for crucifying Jesus, and in this film, Brian. The Pythons thought Pilate, played by Michael Palin, should have trouble with his "Rs." In addition, Pilate's buddy, Biggus--who has a naughty last name--had a lisp. "Anybody else feel like a little...giggle?"
7. "My top priority is the removal of the Roman presence in Jerusalem. I'm a forerunner of the People's Front of Judea. The only thing is Reg and the other members never DO anything, they just discuss!"

Answer: Judith

Here is another great character from "Life of Brian". Unlike many other leading lady roles in their films, the Pythons used an actual woman, Sue Jones-Davies, for the role of Judith. All the other major female roles in "Life of Brian" were played by the Pythons dressed in drag.
8. "I love shrubberies and I've always wanted to see someone chop down the mightiest tree in the forest with not an axe, but a herring. Just don't say the forbidden word!"

Answer: The Leader of the Knights who say Ni

This is quite possibly the strangest character in "Holy Grail". The forbidden word was "it". Interestly enough though, the main Knight said "it" before the topic of a forbidden word was even brought up. Thus the title of being strange.
9. "My liege is King Arthur, my passion is science and philosophy. Did you know the earth is banana-shaped? Oh, and a good tactic for sneaking into a castle is inside a large, wooden rabbit."

Answer: Sir Bedevere

He is Arthur's second-in-command in "Holy Grail". According to Sir Bedevere, if a woman weighs the same as a duck, she must be made of wood because they both float in water. Therefore, she's a witch!
10. "I am a sorcerer of sorts, my favorite tricks involving explosions and fire. Only one thing frightens me--the foul guardian of the cave in which lies the directions for the Holy Grail. This guardian has big, sharp pointy teeth!"

Answer: Tim

This character is introduced toward the end of "Holy Grail". He shows the knights where the forbidden cave is, but then proceeds to warn them away due to the guardian. The guardian is just a rabbit.
