Just one of many brilliant scenes from the epic comedy "Life of Brian" by Monty Python. Fun fact: The actors playing the soldiers were not told what Pontius Pilate and the centurion were going to say. What they were told, though, was to hold back their laughter as much as they could. So what you’re seeing is pretty much their genuine first-time reaction to the jokes, and the laughter is real. Much of this scene was improvised.
