I have an old Saxon soul and I think it’s that that makes me want to do whatever it is that I’m being coerced or bullied into. I refuse to sunbathe and am now in the top 1% of whiteness. I wear a large, visible cross at all times. I’d quite like a T.shirt with ‘certified racist’ and a middle finger on it. I’m not really all that racist, I lived my whole life post racially, as according to MLK, but the idiocy of picking on the least racist people on earth, the only ones with outgroup compassion that goes beyond words, just makes me want to rebel. I RAGE at ALL injustice. A deep sense of fair play pulses in every cell of my body and it sees no colour but misty crimson. Meekness is yet another mistranslation of the Bible. We are commanded to fight evil. Also, turning the other cheek has been inverted, it’s the opposite of surrender. The right side is where you’d strike a lesser person, turning the cheek is an assertion of equality to the challenger.

Very interesting! I'm from the US, and I remember my dad watching it often (possibly in reruns) in the mid 1970s (I was about 11) . My dad always had a very good sense of humor. He frequently told what I/we call "Dad Jokes" THat follows what Cleese said, You don't know if something is funny unless you try it out." Even a joke that may flop, it would still be funny in some way - If not for me, it would be funny for someone else! - I have followed in my dad's footsteps. The thing I find neat is that people laugh at my jokes much more than I would think..

I recall from a Cleese novel ( a bio, the name escapes me) that he said Python pursued incongruity and silliness without punch lines. Awkward situations, things juxtaposed against type, and the like. This became something like a defining aspect between American comedy and British comedy, or at least Python comedy--a sketch or routine which lacks a punch line. It becomes dangerously close to seeing or not seeing the emperor's clothes, but really, does one need to 'get' a thing so long as it amuses you? It's fair to admit that you don't see why something is considered funny, so long as you don't criticize those who are amused anyway whether they 'get it' or not. I have no idea what I am saying.

How much screen time would a modern network give either? I mean, what could possibly be funny about a chap being slapped upside the head with a salmon? Or listening to a fellow intone "The Larch" while looking at a fucking tree, over and over again? Aahhh, but if you had about 30 minutes of this type of stupidity on tape (oops. old boy give-away) you could sell those bytes to advertisers, couldn't you?! But I ask, why is the only stupidity available to me limited to the internet, and so VERY, VERY stupid? Why can't some of it be intelligent?

She calls the manager and says that he needs to cover up. The manager comes up to her room first, walks around, and says, "Yes, he's naked, but you can't see anything below his waist, no matter where you are in the room." She replies, "Oh, yeah? You can if you stand on the bed!" [EDITED: I had "above" instead of "below" originally.]

People are deliberately waiting for the thrill of being offended- absolutely the best woke definition.

I was the in studio propmaster on a late night TV show a while back and John Cleese was one of the nicest guests ever on the show. He was a true, down to earth gentlemen. As mainstream television became more disgustingly woke, I was eventually driven off that show the eventually out of the business 3 years before my planned retirement for not falling in line with the poison shot. It only makes sense that a down to earth, real person would stand up and speak out against the Marxist disease that is destroying everything. I wish more would, but the majority of celebrities are insecure followers who will to sell their souls for their fame and fortune... God bless John Cleese.

Imagine having told Cleese his writing was bad then watching him grow to become world famous for the very elements of writing you disliked

I remember when JC was talking about his mother,who was in a nursing home, and she was very depressed. She was wanting to die. So John says,what about next Thursday? And this made her laugh.

I love that. My family has the same dark sense of humor. My parents would often talk about things like what we each wanted of theirs when they die. During one of these conversations, my brother grabbed a pad of sticky notes, wrote his name on them and started sticking them to things in the living room. We all started doing the same thing, arguing and removing each others' sticky notes to replace them with ours... It's one of my fondest memories. If you're up for reading another... My mom was in the hospital and started talking about wanting to leave and die and such, but she can't get out of the hospital because she's hooked up to the IV line. My sister pulled out her pocket knife and said, "Just give me the word and we're out of here." Mom made a face and then laughed. Using humor to deal with uncomfortable situations is in my blood. lol

Always a pleasure to hear John Cleese. Just remember,, any day without a laugh is a day wasted.

Love John Cleese, he is so open to the Universal Consciousness!! His energy is perfect and nothing is better than Laughter!! SO RIGHT 😂

"How do you write a masterpiece?" "Well, when I did Fish called Wanda ..." "Can I just interrupt you there, that film still gets applauded." JC goes off on tangent.

We were denied by the principal because 1.) our fantasy play contained swords (a la King Arthur) and 2.) it had a song with a talking frog, and that was offensive to the principal because “frogs can’t talk”. This was at an elementary school! Even as a small child, I remember thinking that was an insane excuse not to allow us to perform a play! Stifling of creativity for sure.

I am thankful for Mr. Cleese. He and his shows, and movie's helped me get through a really bad childhood. There were times that I thought about just ending things, but I would watch his stuff and laugh so hard it stopped that thought. I think those that are going off on him just don't get it. That is a big problem these days, people have been so kept down that they don't understand context they only know the words. He's right and he has said this on many things people have lost creativity, lost thinking for themselves, they have lost critical thinking skills. People have let others control them especially their minds. People have also lost the ability to understand sarcasm, it's a very said thing. So people stop being a idiot, stop criticizing someone just because they are older, stop criticizing just because his last answer was a bit long. It's time people stopped being jerks and do the one thing that really really scares them to death. Take a deep dive inside yourself and truly look at what scares you, the many things you won't admit to. When someone says laughter is the best medicine, they really are telling the truth. I know the same people that said the idiot things here in comments will be the same people that will jump all over this with their word salad, with out giving anything a real thought. It's so sad that people have become so self centered, cravenly, and egotistical. Many wouldn't know what a good honest laugh was even it came up and bit them on the a$$ .

Nick: “Can you make politics funny?” Me: ‘No it’s already a joke.’ As a kid I watched what my parents watched on TV and they watched Fawlty Towers, Dr Who, Monty Python. So I thank all the heavy lifting to who I am today to you Mr Cleese.

And as brilliant a bunch as they all were, it was Cleese's moment to shine brightest. We watch him from a safe distance removed into that rarified world remembering how that kind of humor invoked the same kind of laughter that could raise the temperature in the coldest pub and almost raise the roof with it. And that is the point, isn't it? It just never does get old, I agree. Regardless of what all the killjoys today think, and how joyless, mirthless, juiceless and pompous they've become.
