I would say this is probably the greatest joke ever written for the sheer fact of how many times your Dad or Granddad has said this line when an ambulance or Police car goes by with its sirens on

In Monty Pythonโ€™s Life of Brian (1979), the โ€œBiggus Dickusโ€ scene used unaware extras, swapped last minute by Terry Jones so they wouldnโ€™t know the lines, making the Roman soldiersโ€™ laughter completely genuine as they broke character.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The giggling guards were credited actors (Chris Langham, Andrew MacLachlan, Bernard McKenna, Charles McKeown) aware of the script; Michael Palin ad-libbed lines to keep reactions fresh, not unaware extras swapped last minute by Terry Jones. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Pytโ€ฆ movies.stackexchange.com/questions/7382โ€ฆ skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/2376โ€ฆ
