Monty Python’s movies tend to have strange incongruous moments. In the life of Biran, the Three Wise Men show up in the wrong manger and try to bestow gifts on Brian instead of Jesus (in the manger next door). Another goofy scene is begging of a “ex leper”. But the space ship scene where Brian is stuck next to aliens with one eyeball has to take the cake of zany movie scenes.
