Meaning of Life Trivia Questions
1. Who plays the woman who presents the section in the middle of the film?

From Quiz "The Meaning Of Life" Grand Quiz

Answer: Michael Palin

Yes! It seems to me that both Eric Idle and Michael Palin have a thing for dressing up as woman...Hmmmm! If you need to remember this section, remember the hand coming out of the vase and the person next to it. That person is old Mike! By the middle of the film, I mean, of course, the sketch of the same name.

2. In the begining of the movie, how many clocks are there in the delivery room, and what time is it?

From Quiz Monty Python's Meaning of Life

Answer: two; 11:15

Look above the door in the delivery room next time you watch the movie -- they can be seen between John Cleese's and Graham Chapman's heads.

3. At the start of the movie. What is the name of the fish that gets eaten?

From Quiz Monty Python's Meaning of Life

Answer: Howard

4. Which colour is in the name of the insurance company that raids the Very Big Corporation of America?

From Quiz "The Meaning Of Life" Grand Quiz

Answer: Crimson

The Crimson Permanent Assurance it is! The crew consists of old men, and a woman who seems to do nothing except make tea for the crew. This is typical Monty Python! The name is only mentioned once in the film, but there is a small featured before the film in videos and DVDs, which is actually called 'The Crimson Permanent Assurance'!

5. In Part Two, 'The Miracle of Birth,' what does the father say he has to do with all the children now that the mill is closed?

From Quiz Monty Python's Meaning of Life

Answer: Sell them for experiments

'The mill is closed! So I have no other choice but to sell you all for medical experiments.'

6. What is the name of the mother-to-be?

From Quiz Monty Python's Meaning of Life

Answer: Mrs Moore

7. Who plays the waiter addressing Mr. Creosote? (The obese man, if you can't remember.)

From Quiz "The Meaning Of Life" Grand Quiz

Answer: John Cleese

John Cleese, putting on a rather good French accent (I think) plays the waiter. To remember this, just think of him treading in the bucket of vomit, and saying, 'Oh dear, I've trodden in Monsieur's bucket'. This is yet another simply excellent Monty Python sketch!

8. At the beginning of the movie, what is the name of the fish that was being eaten?

From Quiz Monty Python's Meaning of Life

Answer: Howard

Fish 1: 'Whats new?' Fish 2: 'Not much.' Fish 3: 'Hey, look -- Howard's being eaten!' Fish 4: 'Kinda makes you think, doesn't it?'

9. How much does the most expensive machine in the hospital cost?

From Quiz Monty Python's Meaning of Life

Answer: 3/4 of a million pounds

10. During the World War segment, what does the soldier bake for the sergeant?

From Quiz "The Meaning Of Life" Grand Quiz

Answer: A cake

This is while they are getting shot. The people are getting killed off one by one, and they just keep on giving many presents, including clocks (and a watch). The cake was baked as a present for being a good man and sergeant to the ordinary foot soldiers, if I remember correctly.

11. After the fat man has finished eating everything on the menu, what is the very last thing that he eats, making him explode?

From Quiz Monty Python's Meaning of Life

Answer: A wafer-thin mint

Waiter: 'Oh, but, sir! It is only a tiny little thin one.'

12. 2 boys were found rubbing linseed oil into.. what?

From Quiz Monty Python's Meaning of Life

Answer: The school cormorant

13. Same World War section, same soldiers - what are the objects that the soldiers give to the sergeant?

From Quiz "The Meaning Of Life" Grand Quiz

Answer: A lot of clocks

The soldiers give him some clocks while getting shot at. The soldiers get highly offended when he says the presents don't matter! This is another typical Python scene in which the sergeant, in the end, decides to set up a table and calmly eat the cake. (The fate of the remaining soldiers is unknown.)

14. In Chapter 7, 'Fighting Each Other,' what bites the major's leg off?

From Quiz Monty Python's Meaning of Life

Answer: A tiger

Major: 'Look, it doesn't matter why they are dressed as a tiger! Do they have my leg?!'

15. Who had their leg bitten off in the middle of the night?

From Quiz Monty Python's Meaning of Life

Answer: Perkins

16. What is the religion of the family who sings the 'Every Sperm Is Sacred' song?

From Quiz "The Meaning Of Life" Grand Quiz

Answer: Roman Catholic

The Roman Catholic religion does not allow the use of contraceptives. Monty Python once again challenges people's views on religion, with this charming little ditty, which should cause offense among Catholics everywhere.

17. During 'Live Organ Transplants' what does Mr Brown 'donate'?

From Quiz Monty Python's Meaning of Life

Answer: His liver

18. Which of the Monty Python crew is in charge of the animation in the film?

From Quiz "The Meaning Of Life" Grand Quiz

Answer: Terry Gilliam

To get the answer, simply look at the end credits for the film. Under the 'Animation' heading, you will find the one and only Terry Gilliam! My favorite cartoon in particular is the one during the opening credits, which shows a giant monster with a washing line between it's horns!

19. How many crates of brown ale does Mr Creosote order?

From Quiz Monty Python's Meaning of Life

Answer: 6

20. What makes the obese man in the restaurant explode?

From Quiz "The Meaning Of Life" Grand Quiz

Answer: An after dinner mint

This is hilarious, because after he has eaten a mountain of food. The food finally overcomes him and causes him to explode, via an after dinner mint! This is where the fish tank for the first scene is set, in the restaurant where Mr Creosote explodes. That should remind you of the right answer!

21. When Death goes to the cottage, what is the name of Howard Katzenberg's wife?

From Quiz Monty Python's Meaning of Life

Answer: Debbie

22. What costume is the person who announces 'Hello, and welcome to the middle of the film' dressed in?

From Quiz "The Meaning Of Life" Grand Quiz

Answer: An African Zulu outfit

You may have missed this one. If you said lumberjack, I think you are getting mixed up with 'And Now For Something Completely Different', another Monty Python film in which appears the 'Lumberjack' song. Just remember that this scene is set in Africa - that should supply you with the right answer!

23. In Middle Age, what food do Mr and Mrs Hendy prefer in the Hawaiian dining room?

From Quiz Monty Python's Meaning of Life

Answer: Pineapples

24. OK, last question! Which actor plays the school teacher who gives sex education lessons?

From Quiz "The Meaning Of Life" Grand Quiz

Answer: John Cleese

This is probably John Cleese's best part in the film, giving the sex education lessons. It's even more funny because none of the boys really wants to take the lesson. OK, I hope you enjoyed my first quiz! Thank you!

25. Who is chased off a cliff by scantily clad women, as his choice of execution?

From Quiz Monty Python's Meaning of Life

Answer: Arthur Jarrett
