mediocre-latinist:interretialia:kerrypolka:kinkstertime:This whole bit is made all the funnier by knowing that all of the guards were just random extras who weren’t told what was going to happen only that they weren’t allowed laugh at any cost as they wouldn’t be payed if they did.At uni I took a screenwriting course from THIS VERY GUARD EXTRA (who went on to contribute to some of the Python stuff), who confirms this and also that Michael Palin would use different ridiculous names in every take, so they couldn’t even prepare themselves for hearing it.~~~Putasne hoc ridiculum esse……quod a me dicitur nomen……Biggus……Dickus?…non, dicat aliquid ut “Maximus Mentulus” simil quam Catullus nominavit Mamurra, MentulaMinime vero. Biggus Dickus satis est. Magna ioci pars ad modum quo Romani ipsi usi sunt ut terminationibus -us et -ius usurpatis nomina aliena Latinizarent pertinet.Illud verbum Latinum mentula non mentulus est. Non solum “Mentulus” materiam ioci amittit, sed etiam habere malam orthographiam quae pro mentula usurpatur vere videtur. -- source link
