Big nose scene

I've never understood why Eric Idle's character calls Michael Pailin's character big nose, and then the guard also refers to him as big nose when he's on the cross, as he hasn't actually got a big nose.

Is it just because Jews stereotypically have big noses?

YOU'VE got a big nose.

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.
