the germans fawlty towers [2-3]

[albertriera777]

oh you speak german,i thought that something's wrong with you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! looooooooool

[MrS98VAC]

@ Bestmanme08 No,he was so SEXY,love him !!

[Bestmanme08]

Almost one postings at google.com now say "Benny Hill considered funnier than Monty Python"!

[MrS98VAC]

John Cleese was so incredibly SEXY in this !!

[Bestmanme08]

@MrS98VAC He is an incredible retard that Cleese is. He looks all inbred!

[lemmyplanes]

brilliant , legendary , need i say anymore

[govtschemes]

I'm sure if they got all this cast back together to make another episode it would be just as good.

[boathe]

for germans there german is terrible but ah john cleese your a genuis

best sceen of fawlty towers

[0618099004]

after seeing this, i'll make sure EVERY german i'll meet from this point on...

gets the Fawlty Towers treatment XD

[knowsfords]

VE HAF MEET HERE IN DE-BUILDING!

[TDaViEzZ1994]

Obviously he learnt a lot from his time at the ministry of silly walks

[boxfullofharibo]

tight making fun of germans ahalol even though im welsh like

[GeneralGuy77]

Now that I think about it Basil reminds me of Larry David in Curb Your Enthusiasm. Think about it, they're both tall bald(ing) men always getting in fights and shouting at people and getting in to strange predicaments.

[Johnnywhamo]

@GeneralGuy77 Except Larry David is just an asshole where Basil is actually funny.

[lucasnooker]

would you stop talking about the war? "me? but you started it?" no we didnt! "yes you did, you invaded poland!" lol classic

[yoavcool1]

jerries are here XDD

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

Dear me! It does almost exceed the Bavarian restaurant tale of Monty Python! Though there can be nothing like having Monsieur Cleese declare to English tourists that something is totally “Jenseits von Gut und Boese” [Beyond good and evil] but seeing Monsieur Cleese trying not to mention the war, while mention it all the time is brilliant, but I would have skipped the fire and indulged more in it; and Monsieur Cleese did qualify himself for playing Hitler, which he did later for Monty Python...

[jimbobjones22]

you started it

no we didn't

yes you did you invaded poland xD

im part german and found that line fucking funny xD

[19escort73]

Basil: "My God, you're ugly"

Nurse: "I'll get the doctor"

Basil: "You need more than a doctor love, you need a plastic surgeon"

[RNXPayne]

SORRY.........SORRY

[BrokenSoulAngel]

funniest thing EVER!

[pillok91]

i will get you your orderves... orders vich must be obeyed at all times visout question

[SaintPhoeniix]

9:29 xD

[R7777B]

7:25

[TheChicagoLampoon]

I believe that John Cleese and Connie Booth met in, of all places, Chicago, IL. They were both briefly in the 2nd City comedy troupe there. The same group that produced John Belushi and Bill Murray among many others.

[jadon48]

you started it,

we did not start it

YES YOU DID YOU INVADED POLAND

[marinello6]

@jadon48 There was no Poland before 1918...that was either German, Austria Hungarian land or Russian Land. The Poles lived under the administration of these three countries and it should have stayed that way. Just as the U.S. did not split off and give the blacks a New Africa.

[marinello6]

@jadon48 The Poles still can not run a country properly. Their leaders that crashed in a plane a short while back where power crazy self important assholes...similar to Parliment and the Congress of the U.S.A. But I must say that the Poles were far more arrogant and stupid.

[marinello6]

@jadon48 Besides, most of Poland today was German land and Hitler had a right to take it back. How in the hell could Great Britain side with Stalin, a mass murderer that killed millions in the Ukraine during the Holodomor? What kind of shit do they teach in the British school system? No wonder there is still trouble in Ulster County!

[shmuli9]

This episode is probably my favourite...

[knesset99]

oh my god youre ugly..... so funny and so rude lol

[fedess197]

"Don't touch me, I don't know where you've been"!!! Most brilliant comedy of all times!!!

[ziggy8392]

"That's 2 egg mayonaisse, a prawn Goebels a Herman Goering..."

[starzulu]

Polly was a real hottie ...If I was Basil Fawlty I would have banged her every chance I got...

[ziggy8392]

@starzulu He might've, that was his wife :)

[slashingraven]

@starzulu As a matter of fact, Connie Booth (Polly) was John Cleese's (Basil's) wife at the time, so that's quite likely.

[spr66]

VE HAFF MEAT HERE IN ZEE BUILDING.

[mitch4942]

Das was sie gesagt XD

[TheJuicyfruitx]

nifact its vearly good

[TheJuicyfruitx]

you stand there, and ill give them a drink before the war. sorry, before there lunch

[TheWillMB]

what does he say at 7:06-7:10 about rosemary which they laugh at? apart from that, brilliant episode from start to finish

[potterwilllive]

@TheWillMB 'Thats funny, I thought she'd gone to Canada' on about 'Elsie' who he thought Polly was.

[peanut1million]

you need a plastic surgeon dear not a doctor :D

[rachelkamel]

oh my god thats hahaha laroularryous!!!!! go manwel!

[mina7560]

Don't mention the war!!!

[Paulwherrell]

This is timeless comedy - I'm still PMSL now. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think this episode was ever shown in Germany when it was exported over there?

[ankitiitg]

5 germans have watched it, it seems.

[fep70]

Anyone know which episode it was when there was a woman leaning against a wall and basil put his hand on a boob thinking it was a light switch?

[JNL68]

@fep70

watch?v=35mWHlHx9no

episode "The Psychiatrist"

[fep70]

@JNL68 thanks.

[HeySoulSister9]

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT FIRE EXTINGUISHER DID IT EXPLODED IN MY FACE! I MEAN WHAT IS THE POINT OF A FIRE EXTINGUISHER? IT SITS THERE FOR MONTHS AND THEN WHEN YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A FIRE, WHEN YOU ACTUALLY NEED THE BLOODY THING IT BLOWS YOUR HEAD OFF!!!!!" :L:L

[fedorkleber]

Instant favourite!

[ITILII]

We don't think you're well, Mr. Fawlty - perhaps not, but I'll live longer than you....this is a true classic episode

[mahasw777]

[MsHeika]

[ferret630]

' ERE WHO'S THIS THEN!'

[Shukria123]

This is all very funny, but thank God the Germans are now less efficient.

[rhinoclark123]

German man: "This is not funny!!"

Basil: "Who won the bloody war, anyway!"

[kimbolton111]

[andysim232]

[TheGohan334]

[woutinator]

Hilarious! Whait i she Will love this.... I wil do the funny walk. Best ever!

[xxhunnyxxbeexx]

we're doing this for our "night of British Comedy" play at school. Can't wait. I'm Polly :D

[alkazar1234]

I like it

[malarbusto]

@TheSoulSearcher1 I'm not surprised

[ady24]

"oh German i'm sorry i thought there was something wrong with you"........genius....alll modern comedy's are shit compared to this.

[darthconquerus]

@ady24 thing that u gotta remember is that nowadays you would never get away with this cos everyones too oversensitive :/ brilliant as this is, i think there probably would be things like this if people weren't offended by everything they see

[Majeczna1108]

hahahahahahahahahahahh

[nixjobbdolgom]

did you notice the nurse is Mrs.Lipton?:)

[IZZYRULEZ]

Orders...orders which must be obeyed at all time without question!

[IZZYRULEZ]

Nein...trespassers will be tied up with piano wire!

[tuskin4]

John Cleese is hilarious

[Merc261]

i wish they did more seasons

[neelam95]

this was a pleasure to watch for my hisotry homework :) xxx

[MisterMarsBars]

I must have seen this hundreds of times, and every time its still as funny as the first time

[marwood03]

The reason no sit-com will be funnier or better than Fawlty Towers is that these days you can't say anything without it being racist or throwned upon, SKY won't even abbreviate "Blackpool" into "BLAC" on the score board during football games, we have to tip-toe around being policically correct, you can't even call current cake spotted dick anymore, now its spotted richard in some places - This IS exactally how Nazi Germany started!!

[marwood03]

Has anyone noticed when Basil shouts he portrays an Adolf Hitler-esque character, especially at the end of Wardolf Salad, when he says "you ponce in here............." then tells everyone to get out in German. It's like he's in the middle of a Nazi rally giving out orders. Watch it next time and you'll see what I mean.

[deepdoublebass]

Oh german! I thought there was somthing wrong you! we have meat here in ze building! Do you want somthing to drink before the war? 

[deepdoublebass]

i love john cleese!

[Userunvalid]

"Oh German, Im sorry i thought there was somthing wrong with you."

[TheKiemaster]

OMFG FUNNY AS HELL.

All i got to do is remeber don't show this to my tutour in college shes German.

[MsFanmail]

i wet myself laughing at this brillant comedy it is so funny i love 1970s sitcoms much better than today's.

[NathanJesseMcCarthy]

i'll ask them if theyd like a drink before the war... lmfao x

[gerswill]

the walk is the best

[twilightwoods92]

POLLY CANNOT COPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[cumesoftware]

Yes you did! You invaded Poland! LOL

[Majikulness]

This video vas veely good.

[lizzycake09]

4 People can`t do the funnny walk,,

[GrandMasterEms]

Love the Hitler walk! It always cheer me up with his long legs!

[arrantylar105]

[metallicafan003]

"Ve didn't ztart it" "Yes you did, you invaded Poland" Haha

[vef444]

@metallicafan003 :DDD

[chrisjg210]

@metallicafan003 best line ever

[NaturalBornHedonist]

@metallicafan003 One of the best lines in British Comedy!!!

[just4fun444fun]

yes you did you invaded Poland ha ha ha why isn't comedy like this any more

[MrsJosephMerrick]

@just4fun444fun Well, apart from John Cleese and the brilliant writing, in thes days of political correctness crap no ones ALLOWED to say things like this anymore in comedies....

[Nick100895]

"THIS IS NOT FUNNY!!!!"

"WHO WON THE BLOODY WAR ANYWAY?!"

[Doctor699]

"What ever you do don't mention the war! I mentioned it once, but i think i got away with it alright!"

[Golbez1991]

The funny walk!

[charlieiscool1000]

Torquay seemed just as muticulture back then i mean u have an african doctor and a spainish waiter all in one episode Lol and do all germans bow when speaking to a women? and "may i welcome your war your war your wall you all" LOL!

[TheLeivo]

We did not start it. Yes you did you invaded Poland, Lol classic XD

[macgiver351]

@TheLeivo yes we've all seen the video, we know what he said so why do feel the need to repeat it? could you not think of something funny of your own to say no? so you just repeat a funny line from the video..

[AnglOsAxOn2]

@macgiver351 That gets me as well, but then if you were talking one to one and repeated it, it would be funny. It is however annoying when you read it.

[152jonster015]

you speak German. oh German I'm sorry I thought there was something wrong with you.

[majoks]

Greetings from Germany. I'm loving Fawlty Towers. Especially this episode. And never forget: Don't mention the war!!! :)

[pkachipati]

[boenket]

[Bestmanme08]

Benny Hill considered funnier than Monty Python by two TV stations (WOR and WLVI)----I agree!

[sin13377]

[theokpianocoverguy]

[Maxshard]

@monoceros4; I may have spelt hypocrisy incorrectly but I do know how to spell pedantic and bumwipe.

'Please Miss, Maxshards point is irrelevant because his spelling invalidated its legitimacy' 'Very well done comrade monoceros, we must rid the world of the petty bourgeoisie oppressors, who hold back our righteous struggle with their lazy capitalist spelling'.

[allrightcuttheshit]

Does anybody know if they taped this before a live audience or is it a pre-recorded laughter?

[Lennon4life1968]

"Yes you did! You invaded Poland!" and "As God as my witness I thought turkeys could fly" are my two favourite TV Show punchlines ever.

Thank you Mr Cleese and Mrs Booth.

[Supernaturalxxxxxx]

Im trying to cheer her up you stupid kraut!
