The Brain as explained by John Cleese

[laurentrepond]

This is just so funny!!

[raphfern]

That's the punchline(s), you can't really understand what he's saying much like a doctor blurting out medical terms to his patients...;)

[ashleyeberry91]

You can't understand anything that's said. I probably understood 3 words out of the whole thing.

[Akirasmoo162]

It's funny he'd do this, because Graham Chapman, another Python, was actually a Doctor, M.D. and everything. He practiced medicine for a year before he decided comedy was a better career path for him

[JamNJohnN]

this is the new John Cleese Rolled. maybe...

[rachel25lee]

Will... will you repeat that in English, please?

[RarelyEvil]

Resumptric fructation induces corris burtling-blip mortalizers? They taught me it induced corris werming-blip mortalizers!

[MomoTheBellyDancer]

Brainstem! Brainstem!

[djadoe]

And I thought the human brain was complex.

[captainalex91]

This is actually what a lot of my lectures sound like to me. 

[Rawbeh]

E = 2 what? I missed it

[UdallIn72]

This is an old joke, but a good one.

It's amazing what Cleese is able to commit to memory. Remember the Johann Gambolputty (etc.) sketch?

[coreyrks87]

looks like 16 people missed "E=2r"

[ktypeace]

apart from being hilarious (!) has anyone else noticed the brain isn't even in the right position?

[Emin7]

lol stanley unwin eat yer heart out

[22poopoo]

This is unfortuneatley what I hear in my lectures

[MentalForIt]

Its all pretty trivial really

[ionean]

Lyrics please?

[g4borg]

... so. don't eat them.

[kooora18]

E equals 2R.

[hellmaster3000]

What the fuck did I just hear? I pretty sure it was mucupu condilator hipra cuprea cprevera hedro bondro preverical paris hilton strut tempertonies potivisers auditory vision. Also he said lobble dutch in there somewhere.

[milosQaX]

Wadsworth Constant applies.

[utuberofutube]

0:38

[corycousins42]

His rhythm is absolutely brilliant.

[unbornanddeathless]

@corycousins42 indeed it is! some say timing and punctuation has a major role in the effect of comedy. this sketch represents this statement perfectly in an odd way.. :D 

[freedomfighterguy1]

John Cleese is awesome.

[KitttyNinja]

.........So, don't eat them!!!!

[biologyfreak101]

can anyone give me subtitles for this? i couldn't make out a single word...

[trespire]

@biologyfreak101 Activate the captions then run them through Google translator, works like a charm.

[MrSilvertale]

anyone ever have a teacher like this?

[Tank797]

40 seconds off bullshit at the begin

[MagicAccent]

Right, im off to preform brain surgery now. Wish me luck.

[wishcraft4u2]

@MagicAccent On yourself I assume... No? Pffft! Noob!

I once did an neurenduncular bypass on the motor centers responsible for hand-eye coordination for my right hand *while* operating *with* my right hand! Please do us all a favor and comeback when you have something worth mentioning to report, theres sufficient clutter going on on the internets as it is...

[MagicAccent]

@wishcraft4u2

Touched a nerve did I?

Get it? Touched..a Nerve?

[Dorminay42]

Were...were those words?

[exar10]

So.. don't eat them

[AleksandarTadich]

r is a radiance of home measure

[MrBastilleDay]

supercontraption

[AngelBiLove]

E equals 2 r. -writes down-

[pulpstress]

I know you can buy Palin's Around the World in 80 Days and Pole to Pole and probably can buy Joneseys Crusades, but is there a DVD of the human body series Cleese presented? I suppose I should look it up.

[FreezingFirestorm]

0:49 i heard something like soap infection

[FreezingFirestorm]

0:42 i heard fetus

[FreezingFirestorm]

1:27 i did hear paris hilton!!!



[formerutuber]

it even more funny with audio transcriptions!

[EternalDensity]

@formerutuber indeed! Even funnier that the words he said that made sense it got completely wrong. Eight equals two!

[FreezingFirestorm]

i give it a 2,126,783,000 out of 10 but i'm just being nice with about 2,126,782,990.1828384938273917­2 of that score as a john cleese fan.

[Goger1]

of course it all makes sense now

[LowStackTom]

i think the deeper sense of this vid is, that the world, at long last, now knows, that e realy equals two r.

i repeat: A = 2 R !!

it´s a revolutionary breakthrough in the world of science. worth a pulitzer.

(ps: if any american out there wishes for a perfect german translation to this coment just mail me ... ;)

[LowStackTom]

@LowStackTom oops, did i say "worth a pulitzer"? i meant Nobel-Prize.

[MrNellie2200]

36 seconds before anything happened

[davethehostage]

Was it seriously necessary to have a 35 second intro to a 2 minute video?

[LowStackTom]

@davethehostage plus the outro ...

[visikord]

@davethehostage it was necessary to get your attention ready for what was to come, that's just how the brain works. didn't you watch the video? :-)

[victoriscool1]

Oh cock....i ate them!!

[miwerino]

Hah. Did he know this actually kind of sounds like he has Wernicke's aphasia (an impairment of language ability)?

[WBFC1995]

Is he speaking english?

[Devoti]

hahaha! i love the end "so, don't eat them"

[soumyaaymous]

14 people dont have mertiphrkrlefris in their brain

[VerrueckterStoff]

? hä`? i thought i'm able to understand english... this is impossible for german

[iwpoe]

@VerrueckterStoff You're not missing anything: the joke is that it's all medical jargon punctuated by brief bits of clear speech. The punchline is his conclusion that "So, don't eat them."

Der Witz nicht darauf, ein englischer Muttersprachler verlassen. Der Punkt ist, dass er nur mit uninteligible Jargon. Er macht nur Sinn, gelegentlich. Die Pointe ist seine Schlussfolgerung, "Also, essen sie nicht."

[LowStackTom]

@iwpoe you shouldn´t use this translation program anymore. it´s producing as much gibberish as john c. does in this sketch.

now wait - this makes it funny again, so: don´t stop using this program !!

[iwpoe]

@LowStackTom I gave it a shot. :P

[MischaMoko]

.................Now I've got a headache...

[ShaolinViolin]

0:35 to skip the bullshit

[Sloth7d]

@Chuichupachichi No, that's still the feeling of being a creationists. Probably how you always feel listening to scientists.

[axeves1]

Why is he glowing? 

[therealjarett]

1:27 did anyone else hear Paris Hilton? LOL

[Unguidedone]

@therealjarett ya lol

[696190]

@therealjarett i also heared anne hathaway

[Whitebeard79outOfRus]

@therealjarett Yes I did ^_^

[AlexanderDeSchutter]

@therealjarett i read it as i heard it omFFG

[Zlazuja]

@therealjarett thanks for the spoiler

[Residew]

What is english?

[theskinandthesauce]

This is what the English language sounds like to foreigners.

[Chuichupachichi]

Now I know what it must feel like to be an Evolutionist listening to the explanation of the principles of Thermodynamics

[BigAndTall666]

Obviously, but the third theses is a bit far fetched, Rover almost vomited from exhaustion trying to get it....poor dog!  :-P

[BigAndTall666]

This video is too short to have a 37 seconds intro!

[lancetonycut]

13 people are idiots

[VertigoSatan]

it's john clesse so whatever he said IS TRUE

[MiniMolly14]

Well that was enlightening....

[Reepicheep28]

Exactly like college.

I repeat. Exactly.

[keithvassallo]

LOL... all I got from that is E=2R and Paris Hilton

[AlaricVG]

I believe I just shat myself.

[1chicken90210]

oh, true...

[borgnydedrik]

boqcgsf

[unopinionated]

I'll say that again... e =2r...ahh university lectures how easily understandable!

[markdykeman]

wonderful brain twister

[8HereComesTheSun8]

Ahh brilliant! :D

[98682bobbyd]

@1:32...so that neglectance of mermants ametserverity supercontraction causes structamention of faction cavity ... there.

So, don't eat them.

ROFL

[YourMadTourGuide]

simply AWESEOME

[tzjc24]

This is sooo brilliant! - from a med student!

[TheLizGang]

I just got "Don't eat them".

[IsaacGolle]

for a second I wondered if I could speak english anymore

[reghin79]

hehe, jabberwocky

[TheLuckySaGe]

at 1:26 he says Paris Hilton WTF!!

[smilehimself]

I heard paris hilton in there towards the end. lol

[houseofcharm]

About what I recall my neurology diplomate was like...quite superfudibulous.

[Johntdf]

...I'll say that again: E=2r, where r is the radiency of the home-measure of the Valder effect. Now pervernery the perveenery sends a parabolic and paris-hilton refettor of absurdity overleashes the homoveasery and heterovandler effect so that neglectance of Mermat's emphersemerity supercontraction causes structurmention of faction candity there.

[Johntdf]

...Resumbling frictation induces corresblurdling blit-mortilisers, but, uh, that all comes under Croner's electropunes thtoperfication which ew-awl underlies an eppervess of course. Now, resontary frictation and multicentric compulators syblesce the leviating duncimediatory lubbleduch, making contase, antogethertee slib temperence and expenditency. A reflection inertia corresponds to Hugobervertz's supercreditary balance multiveratory equation, E=2r...

[Johntdf]

The previous attempt to transcribe it could be improved on - what do people think of this (three-part post) -

Well, the, uh, the carts and the termpertones merk the grouposes and overclot the mergetuses. There's to be disquism on partivise securities together tee-motes slibberneander-pedetes so-forth frame shows dark division and auditory sloan perfection. ...

[ignostu]

describing the "after church " feeling...hilarious..pseudosci­entific babble..

[worldviolist]

... so, don't eat them.

[TheXyaan]

Now I know how a tourist hears our language (english by the way)

Also, i think he mentions Paris Hilton.

[TheXyaan]

Now I know how a tourist hears our language (english by the way)

[Karikaze]

Loved the John Cleese but the green screen effect is just painful.

Don't eat them.

[Stn3dRaid3r]

his body language and facial expression are so serious I thought wtf lol :)

[davelantor]

ERROR 404 : SARCASM JOKE NOT FOUND.

but still, dont eat them.

[formerutuber]

Transcribe Audio translates "So, don't eat them" into "supped at a time"

[Liusila]

It's 1 am and he's just brought me to tears of laughter :D

[pseudotruth]

I'm off to sell my last few remaining turboencabulators, available while stocks last! Unrepeatable offer.

/watch?v=Ac7G7xOG2Ag

[TheApocalypseDude925]

If the are in fact any brain experts floating around YouTube.... Doubtful but anyways if there are could one of you tell us all if ANYTHING he said was real? Other than the don't eat them part

[neurobadger]

@TheApocalypseDude925 I'm not an expert, I'm a student.

He actually didn't say anything about the brain, but he did do an awesome impression of someone who has damage to Wernicke's area.

[CochinoMono]

Who could dislike this?

[HeliumAbusers]

11 people ate them.

[xemerzis]

Yes, yes. Very clear, very conscise, but are you absolutely SURE that E=2r?

[goldLizzzard]

My brain exploded over and over again...

[Christobanistan]

Is that english?

[endimion17]

Sweet Mary of orrery, he sounds just like Sir Patrick Moore.

[nameisbryan]

If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with your bullshit.

[RenateTV]

hahah he is just so good

[stimsrus]

"Paris Hilton"???

[hitwithafish22]

Ah, yes...my thoughts exactly. Well done Dr. Cleese, well done!!!

[hitwithafish22]

Ah, yes...my thoughts exactly. Well done Dr. Cleese, well done!!!

[graw81]

[Hopefulfilment]

Annoying brain stops at 0:36

[a1024s]

@Hopefulfilment the annoying part actually ends at 1:47

[isaacismynamebitches]

or in human language

'paris hilton is a dumbass'

[jhuber73]

@Neurobadger: Have you ever considered, that your brain tricks you into rationalising even the finest joke?

[MichaelPalinFan2008]

I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHAT HE SAID.

[Thaliath]

I understand perfectly.



[DavidScottProducer]

Pay close attention to the opening 38 seconds. Compelling stuff.

[adipuppi]

this guy is too good.

i didnt realise until the end that he was talking rubbish lol

[Suisyo]

Love it. 

[TriCorduroy]

I don't get why why E= 2 R

[hermaphrobear]

@TriCorduroy  tis made up. E = mc2(squared)

[insertclevernickname]

This is what I hear when I watch tv on shrooms....

[likethewater]

@insertclevernickname so don't eat them!

[multiplemes101]

so don't eat them.

[TuahShinguru]

This is why he's a star in Fable 3.

[TheElementM]

So rules on brains: E=2r and "Don't eat them." Thanks, Prof. Cleese!

[TheOneTheOnlyIvan]

xD

god why has all the silly fun walked out of comedy all of a sudden?

[userwl2850]

@TheOneTheOnlyIvan has he gave you the answer yet?

[TheMissymail]

hahahahaha! 

[RoenSteuens]

I need a transcript of this! :-)

[ChloeeM23]

[Loismustdie26]

[luizcadu]

[jethrolarson]

I never thought of it that way. It's so clear to me now.

[superhamzah85]

My english isn't so good, anyone know what he says at 1:01-1:05?

[pyziroki]

[stAiRsAtTaCkEr]

[0g0dn0]

Oh............................­........... Kay.

[francinarichardson]

And finally something makes sense.

[MissPsychoB]

This reminds me of my physiology classes in my first year as a psychology student. Leave it to John Cleese to make the brain funny.

[oshafer]

As a practicing neurobiologist, I heartily endorse this presentation....

[AfterFauve001]

@oshafer

As some one who has undergone brain surgery, I too endorse this presentation....

[TheRitual24]

of faction calmity There.

So, Don't eat them.

=D

[TheRitual24]

the liviating duds immediatly lubberdutch making contaste and togethatee slip temperance and expandasutatity. A reflection into ocean corrisponse who is perverts supercredity multiveratury equation E=2r... I'll say that again, E=2r. Where R is the radiency of a homemade measure of the vultry affect and i find that in the pervinity stems of the parishilton reserdity overleshes the rihanheteramervan to and effect so as to neglectance of nomad of prosperaty super contraction causes structurmention

[watson956]

@TheRitual24 Sorry, you misspelled "rihanheteramervEn". I'm pretty sure.

[napoleon950]

@TheRitual24 i'll keep this one for my english teacher XD

[Gubbywubby]

@TheRitual24 My gosh, you actually got all that?!

[TheRitual24]

The carts and the Tempatonies merk the gruposies and overclot the murgachooses There's the visacrisabolnamarcitrser cruz togetherty moats slimpithy and pedaties, so forth and frame shows dark division and orditory fection. resulting fictation induces corisburdaling blit mortinises, But ehh, that all comes out at the cronies and electricpunication seltification That you will underlize in our professor course. Now, resolntary frictation and multicentrick combulators tupuless

[servomoore]

Wonderful punchline. Stick with it: it's worth it. 

[KamiKazeBliss]

lol

[bloosman1]

The thing is... I work in surgery, and I help on the occasional craniotomy. I don't care who you are, that's funny!

[ihatespam2]

I totally get it.

My Brain Hurts!!!
