The scene opens with a short dialogue between Mr Creosote (who speaks with a coarse Cockney accent) and the maître d'hôtel (who speaks with a fake, exaggerated French accent), played by John Cleese: Creosote is then led to his table and, once seated, starts projectile-vomiting, generally failing to hit the provided bucket.

He finishes the feast, and several other courses, vomiting profusely all over himself, his table, and the restaurant's staff throughout his meal, causing other diners to lose their appetite and, in some cases, throw up as well.

Creosote is amazingly still alive when the explosion clears, but his chest cavity and abdomen are now blasted open, revealing his spread ribs and intact, still-beating heart and viscera.

The fake vomitus consisted of large amounts of condensed minestrone soup, which made a considerable mess of the filming location, the Porchester Centre in Bayswater, West London.

"[6] George Harrison of The Beatles, who co-founded production company Handmade Films to fund the making of Life of Brian and other later projects by Python members, noted the similarity between the Mr Creosote episode and the scene in Magical Mystery Tour where John Lennon, dressed as a waiter, serves pasta to Ringo Starr's fictional Aunt Jessie using a spade to build a giant mound of spaghetti on the table.

[8] British extreme metal band Anaal Nathrakh reference Mr Creosote in their song "The Age of Starlight Ends".
