** In ''[[Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]'', watch Eric Idle as a peasant during the "burn the witch" scene. As John Cleese stretches an awkward silence out further and further, Idle has to bite down on his scythe at one point to keep from laughing. |

** According to John Cleese, Michael Palin was "very naughty" on stage in his attempts to get the other Pythons to do this during live performances. |

*** At one point during the live tour, Terry Jones and Graham Chapman decided to try and make each other corpse when walking on to do a sketch about pepperpots; since they did their makeup separately and came in from opposite sides of the stage, there was a ready-made battlefield. They gradually got more and more absurd with their makeup, climaxing when Terry (sporting a [[The Simpsons|Homer Simpson]] beard made entirely from lipstick) cracked up at the sight of Graham with a circle of lipstick drawn around his face. |

* During the (not kidding) ''twenty straight minutes of rock climbing'' in [[B-Movie]] ''[[Lost Continent]]'', as Cesar Romero is pulled up a cliff, [[Wardrobe Malfunction|his trousers begin to slide down]] and the actors hoisting him grab him by the back of his belt to prevent it. Behind them, Hugh Beaumont is visibly snickering at this and making a half-hearted attempt to hide it.

* A bit of Corpsing gets through in ''[[Spaceballs]]'', but only slightly. When the Radar Officer tells Dark Helmet, "I'm having trouble with the radar, sir," there's a bit of a chuckle at the end. It should be noted that the officer was played by [[Michael Winslow]], man of a thousand sound effects. Almost a dozen ''[[Police Academy]]'' movies and ''this'' was the point where he almost loses his composure? Hilarious. |
