Wow even at 76 John Cleese is still perfect. This really does feel like Basil Fawlty and not just Cleese phoning it in.

Synbious Yeah, re-watching it it does feel like a bit of a cash grab tbh. Like, Cleese is still great and all but this does feel like a bit of a paycheck sort of thing.

Fawlty Towers is definitely one of the best comedic shows Britain ever produced.

That's exactly something Basil Fawlty would do

Even after all this time he still IS Basil effortlessly. The "Yes yes I AM inserting it thank you" was perfect. Wonderful advert, well done to all involved. 👍🏻

'I'm gonna give you a damn good thrashing' 😂😂😂 Hillarious

Even at 83 years old which is where John Cleese is currently at now he’s always been funny especially in the tv show Fawlty towers

hahaha cant beat a little john cleese what a comedy legend

Nice one. Specsavers are proof an in-house ad agency can work.

God this was so good. Felt exactly like Basil Fawlty, John Cleese hasn't lost his touch at all. This might be the only time ever I didn't want an ad to end!

That was great, I don't care if it was an ad =)

Great ad! And incredible to see this great man at 77 years of age still so on form! Love John Cleese! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year all! :) xxx

This ad is an instant classic and it's already the best ad that's ever gonna be made in 21st century.

Never lost his touch 😂💯💯 It’d be great if we could see him do it just one more time 💯

The hilarious sideways leap at the end is the cherry on top.

Haha - classic! :)

Love it. Laugh everytime I see the ad. A timely return for old Basil! Kisses to John for bringing him back mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah x x x x x

I always like to think it's actually John Cleese sprinting down that road but it definitely isn't, not at 76 😂

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Good ol' John does it again! 😃😃

Absolutely Brilliant !!!. The man's a genius. Most staff at hotels, pubs, and restaurants near me have staff or are owned by "Basils". but I have to admit to being a curmudgeonly Basil myself.

PERFECTION loving the Fawlty Towers ad! If i ever need glasses, Im now going to SPECSAVERS!!!!!!!

Excellent Ad, great job Basil and Specsavers 😎

Best show ever made x

LOVE IT!!! Saw it today for the first time :-)

Best ad ever I love fawlty towers!!! you'll only get that if you've watched the episodes

Perfect advert! Thank you John!

"Dusty bonnet there." I see Basil is still making the terrible excuses. 35 years later and John Cleese still makes this sketch hilarious.

Well done Specsavers & Mr Cleese! Lets have ad another featuring John :)

Cleese leaping into the hedges at the end was excellent...

Brilliant, only John could pull this off, one of the best.

Still as funny as ever

Makes me laugh more and more each time I watch it!

Well played Specsavers.

Saw this earlier when I saw the link on KZread, I couldn't resist another watch. Nothing beats the original, though. Especially the blow up doll scene. Still has me in stitches.

Me and my girlfriend was so happy to see him live here on stage in sweden earlier this year.

Ooh - is this just new? Can't wait to see it on TV! Fawlty Towers was probably the best sit com ever!

Haha.....I usually hate adverts, but I love this one....Weirdly, I've never seen the end bit though, with him running off.

Best Specs advertisement ever! :)

You make the funniest ad's ever. This and the Postman Pat had me in stitches

The memories...

That was a funny commercial, unlike those other sad, depressing ones normally. For some darn reason I thought it was going to be a film so when it ended I literally cried! 😜

I love the fawlty towers music, want to watch fawlty towers now

I'm very glad that he is still alive.

Hahahahahahah Thank you John Cleese, please never change and thank you for letting Basil out.

Cop: "I was just going to ask him for an autograph!"

Ah, Fawlty Towers, one of the UK's best comedies, and I'm American. Big John Cleese fan.

Good advert. Marvellous that he agreed to do it.

Watching Cawley towers at the moment! Fawltception!

Brilliant!

Lol lol 😂🤣 Brilliant Absolutely Hilarious! 😂🤣 John Cleese is Classic! 😂🤣👍

love this man

very nicely done

lol this is great . brilliant add

Very good...was afraid it would taint the Fawlty image...very well played, John...

I love this advert.

This advert is a true, honest-to-goodness diamond in the dross. Jolly good show, Fawlty.

Brilliant! I will defo buy my glasses from you guys.... Wait I don't need glasses....

We get this ad in Australia too. That's such a funny weird looking little car!

Basil Faulty, you never change

Made my day

I love this xD

5 years already! Should of kept it going 😆

Genius. Greetings from Holland

Funny commercial!😆 Looked as if there was an angry man in the car.😆

Brilliant!😂😂

That was pretty good. I'm gonna buy some glasses tomorrow. Probably.

Very funny advert kept repeating it a few times.

Fawlty Towers and Father Ted are the two greatest british shows of all time. Both have the initials FT. Wild.

Bravo Sir, Bravo...

Not only a brilliant comedy writer, but one of the greatest physical comedy actors of all time. Easily up there with Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, and Curly Howard.

Just saw this on tv and decided to search it
