At home with John Cleese

[2metube4]

seems like a psychopath

[PlaidRocker32]

I'm sure this has been said a million times, but John Cleese is awesome, and I would love to just spend time with him like this. How cool would that be.

[CCNuck]

He loves cats. He loves cats.  I am so happy it hurts.

[realinohio]

Was this his home in Montecito CA he sold in 2008?

[Urindunk]

I always liked John Cleese, especially his humour ofcourse. Good to see how laid back and modest he is at home. Great man.

[131x]

What a beautiful, humble home for a multimillionare. Enormous respect for this man.

[Lottechoco]

his cats love him!

[MrLuigiFercotti]

John, your house is far too modest for someone of your means. Don't you realize that you're supposed to have a gaudy 20,000 sf McMansion, complete with 8 car garage, 100 ft swimming pool, vineyard, etc. All to satisfy your enormous ego. Go check out Oprah's place to figure out how it's done.

[willfordbrimly]

John Cleese is a cat-lady. Its a fact. We all know it now.

I find that in no way affects my affection for him.

[ajrnagy100]

Also love the emmy just lying around

[ajrnagy100]

His daughter seems funny

[RoederGaming]

This man, I admire him so much. A man with so much love for life and the greatest humour ever.

[MowgliX]

John Cleese is the coolest man in the world! I love him. I would marry him straight away, except that I'm straight and male, so that's definitely off.

[celer1ty2]

"Donate George Bush's stem cells for early primate research" LOL

[penisfuckeye]

He is so quick witted :)

[penisfuckeye]

haha it would be a "gay pride"

[UberFacundia]

I see a duck brush.

[steilwandfahrer]

O.M.G. .... you see that wonderful wonderful shiny Grill ?????... i'm going insane...can' t stand this... this outstanding dimensions.... f.a.n.t.a.s.t.i.c....it must be a Grand Hall 8009 (not the "Titanium" i think..) . A gorgeous Outdoorkitchen isn't it ? .... Maybe its possible its a Weber Summit...but therefore i have to look some details - to difficult to examine it via internet, because the man on the right blocked the reflections with his head... ....i'm very delighted... thx v.m.

[ontano100]

I love Cleeses humor...and his cute cats.

[nlgallant835]

"She makes me laugh more than any other biped!"..... My gosh I love you John Cleese!

[T1Bentley]

You Frog

[GameMusicCompilation]

what has been writing than?

[alfie2633]

I used to live in Clarendon Road in a top floor flat and would frequently watch John walking back from the corner shop with bags of vegetables and expecting him to break into a silly walk at any moment. I could see right into his study and would watch him writing for hours. Wonderful British eccentric and bloody funny.

[lgarvey]

hahaha - Cleese is awesome.

[jaylias]

hahah "Hello frog!" oh Cleese, you had me laughing within 2 seconds of video starting :D Anglo-French relations are humorously hostile it seems!

[Ir1s1]

Ah, even though he lives in California, John Cleese has managed to follow British tradition in his advanced age... By turning into an old cat lady.

[HerNameIsLinnea]

he's so charming and down to earth, what a lovely man!

[Wildylajf]

This man is a god.

[Hysteria98]

Man, what happened to him?

He used to be gorgeous bu-

....well, he still is but, why has he gained weight... :/

[PyrohailMan]

@Hysteria98 Because he is 71 lol, IDK when this was taken, but he has been laying back more since he's in old age.

[genuinelyaperson]

I didn't quite read the first bit, and I thought he was simply greeting a French person in the standard contemptuous British manner, 'Hello frog.'

He sounded like a grizzled old colonial major meeting the French ambassador for India XD

Btw, if you are French, you should know that anything we say against you is merely jesting, we love you really. That, and you're a bunch of cowardly, croissant waving, wine guzzling, continental frogs ;)

[thamutebutton]

@genuinelyaperson "French rifle for sale. Never fired, dropped once."

[jaylias]

@thamutebutton lmao, very funny!

[haantje68]

He has such a funny laugh.

[shadaliciousbaby]

I want that rabbit brush.

[evildeathmonkey1]

Cleese you racist asshole XD

[TheIcelandicPatriot]

He is so modest and sertanly does not waste his money :)

He is truly one of a kind :)

God i love this man :)

[bossyboots55]

@TheIcelandicPatriot

he doesnt have much money left...after the many divorces and esp after the last one....!:)

[TheIcelandicPatriot]

@bossyboots55 Few stupid bitches stealing this mans money. They are thieves just a kind that you can't arrest.

[bossyboots55]

@TheIcelandicPatriot

maybe so but the saying...no fool like an old fool comes to mind...:)

[TheIcelandicPatriot]

@bossyboots55 Fool is one of the last things that comes to mind when i think of John Cleese.

[bossyboots55]

@TheIcelandicPatriot

i agree ....he is a brilliant comedian and writer....

[TheIcelandicPatriot]

@bossyboots55 That he is :)

[Roflcopter4b]

This man. I wish the world was more like him.

[00cm]

What a quirky, spartan, unglamorous, messy house. He's living in California, is it? Fascinating!

[xhellonhighheels69x]

this should be on the next episode of Cribs

[EzKrispy]

Man I love this guy.....

[alpha22201]

'thats why he looks like a human as oppossed to looking like a rodent' classic

[morpher44]

that was cool. Big fan.

[MrTristanishere]

ISnt there? "purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

[ShanksDChopper]

A truly wonderful man.

[wafflewomaaan]

haha i love his car stickers!

[thrumymind]

the poor frog!

[orwellianson]

I love John's sense of humour... he seems so humble and composed. Truly remarkable man... he really brightens the room with his charm and infectious wit.

[orwellianson]

@emerald7273 That's a mountain lion...

[weaselsdawg]

I like when people have a bunch of money but aren't gettin movie theaters and bowling alleys and crap.

[Domydoor]

i live really near weston super mare... it's a shit hole now

[cosmicskydaddy]

This Cleese crib is quaint and yet cheesy.It would attract people with a rodent profile.

[SussiM72]

Well... Makes me think if anyone would find it as entertaining watching me showing my home in a similar way.

[HuiHuiTanTui]

Great stuff! John Cleese has some of the coolest cats!

[clickswitchh]

This has to be the most british house in California

[clickswitchh]

Such a strange house

[nopseudosleft56]

Love the international superstar closet loll!!! John Cleese's humour obviously went straight over this guy's head, I thought he was going to cry lol!

[nopseudosleft56]

What"s wrong with the presenter? Is he scared of John Cleese or something? He's as stiff as a rake!!!

[masonkiller666]

@nopseudosleft56 He is like, the God of Comedy....

[50sVintage]

Just wonderful. Many thanks John Cleese for sharing your home with us!

[laiosto]

Is this before or after he got screwed in his divorce?

[rahagbab]

someone should give this guy an airplane so he can sky-write gibberish

[MagellanOfBass]

@rahagbab hahahah agreat comment, I would definitely love to see that!

[Xgirlfriend13]

2:16 Shaun the sheep!

[Zhero4]

i wold have loved it, it frog had sayd "S.Frog" as Mr Cleese first greeted him. XD

[skyerune]

John Cleese is your crazy neighbor.

[oliroolz]

love this guy, he is one of the best actors ever and hes so right about everything!

[hollyellenb]

I would love a library like Cleese's. Love John Cleese.

[vef444]

Shit, seriously, I wish that guy could get more attention and live in a bigger home. And I wish I could do that interview. =(

[xLCB1975x]

no giant tv or twenty luxury cars...........just awesome,i love this man

[NShimaru]

"frog".

[mmcrosbie]

What must it be like to have John for your father???

[mmcrosbie]

Love you John.

[Monkeyboymug]

Frog..

[20nothing]

lol xD

[Sandline86]

I don't think that the interviewer understands John Cleese's brand of comedy

[pusho12]

the interviewer looked like he didn't want to be there

[raymondpeckiii]

That's quite a collection of JG Bennett and Gurdjieff books at 8:06. . .

[IamTheiPhone]

family friendly racism :p

[megamaxie]

he's also just like a typical old person, trying to show off all these new fangled inventions of the future, like his $2 coffee grinder, and his amazing giraffe...is that what age does to people? xD

[zendakk]

@megamaxie I've been in both England and California during various seasons, and hey, you can't blame the geezer for wanting some Sun-love at that age.

[megamaxie]

im appauled at the amount of tat in his house, and the fact he no longer lives in england, the traitor, but still he's awesome =D

[hiimgod801]

Oh god, I love John Clesse, but it looks like it would be horrible to live with him xD

[zilbe333]

Lable on car LOL "I love cats, they taste just like chicken! xD

[KoalaNoMarch]

To my knowledge there have always been two topics that are mines for absolute comedy gold. Politics and religion. I think it more a point in his favour and a joke on you that so many take this oppurtunity to blather on and express 'Intellectual views on politics' on a you tube video for a man thats taken the mickey out of both and generally made them enjoyable for a half hour or more.

PS, it takes a real wit to actually entertain us with such morose and boring topics.

[fishandfestival]

John is a very sophisticad, bright and extremely funny man...He's one of, if not my favourite comedic actor...My favourite sitcom, to date, is Fawlty Towers...It is brilliant in every way...Pity only 12 episodes were done...John is one of the greatest comedic actors of our time, perhaps in the same category as Sellers and Chaplin.

[minimacer]

Gay pride. HA! 1:08

[Airhockeylirare]

I love his laugh :D

[Misakichifan]

Thank you!

[hakuro]

What's the title of the drum music at 1:02?

[xyaqua]

Cleese is an intelligent, perhaps not genius, but that's arguable, but he had very tight focus on the absurd and the ability to relate it to the rest of us Too bad his marriages do not work out, i'll bet he'd be a great neighbor, probably talk about everything _but_ humor.

My brother has that same picture of the Bushes on his fridge. I don't think he voted for Bush...

[raindelayshowfan1]

Once a Python, always a Python...

[eatbeavers]

john cleese MY HERO! VOTE FOR ME TO RULE I MEAN GOVERN SWEDEN AND I WILL MAKE IT A OBLIGATION TO WATCH MONTHY PYTHON!

[chickiinboone]

I really like the 3x5 cards with marker letting him know "what" the sections are about, something tells me if one switched all the cards taped on the shelves he would never notice. Even if he cracked one every now and again. I did see the card that said American History... THAT certainly makes him an authority on the subject. Mr. Cleese is one of the greatest political minds ever... along with Matt Damon, Whoopi Goldberg, Danny Devito and of course Bruce Springsteen.

[fluxtor1]

gotta love jak cheeze

[chinacod2004]

Wow. This just concludes my assertion that John Cleese is the greatest human being in existence.

[GreatGrumbledook]

These tedious old fools! Every time I see a former member of Monty Python I am always reminded what Shakespeare lets his Prince Henry say to his former companion Sir John Falstaff:

"I know thee not, old man: fall to thy prayers; How ill white hairs become a fool and jester! I have long dream'd of such a kind of man, So surfeit-swell'd, so old and so profane; But, being awaked, I do despise my dream. Make less thy body hence, and more thy grace; Leave gormandizing; know the grave doth gape ...

[GreatGrumbledook]

...For thee thrice wider than for other men. Reply not to me with a fool-born jest: Presume not that I am the thing I was; For God doth know, so shall the world perceive, That I have turn'd away my former self; So will I those that kept me company. When thou dost hear I am as I have been, Approach me, and thou shalt be as thou wast, The tutor and the feeder of my riots: Till then, I banish thee, on pain of death, As I have done the rest of my misleaders, Not to come near our person by ten mile."

[toverkleet]

@GreatGrumbledook right..............

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

@toverkleet: [due to the HAL 9000 mad computer phenomena I will make the answer via my new internet incarnation] Thanks; but may I ask if you do agree on a single point of mine or with the whole of my statement?

[toverkleet]

@FireEyedMaidOfWar I just didnt understood why you used that quote here. The quote "right" was more or less coming from Doctor Evil from Austin Powers, as in I didnt understand the function of what you said... Could you eleborate on it?

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

@toverkleet: If you would have taken the pains to read my first comment you should have understood why I quoted Shakespeare here; and as I said when fools grow old their continued foolery does ill beseem their years.

[toverkleet]

@FireEyedMaidOfWar Thanks for the enlightenment MaidOf War, but I just did not see the first section of your quotation. I might have looked over it when i was scrolling through the comments, my sincere apology. You are right, but you are wrong at the same time.... What Im trying to say, is that you are right that old people should stop with foolery when they are "overdue"; however Cleese does still managed to make me smile.... Sorry. But now I at least fully grasp what you meant ;) thanks again.

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

@toverkleet: There is no need for such an apology; wherefore do we breathe in a Christian land? But feel free to enter in the search box above the words Monty Python & Fish Licence and watch the result; and then you may see how much of his fire and wit Monsieur Cleese has lost since then.

[frickadele]

Great cottage!!!!

[tnekkc]

What does it take to stop the evil socialism that want to enslave us?

It is like night of the living dead, with Cleese trying to suck out brains, leaving nothing but zombie liberal behind.

[flamablesteve]

@tnekkc Im afraid it is you with the missing brain.

[Doby]

WOW

[tnekkc]

You gotta ask yourself, "Do you want bigger government, or smaller government that we have?

Cleese wants it bigger.

"You're a Loony" - Monty Python

[blowtorchacurlyfry1]

he has a great laugh.

[tnekkc]

Cleese is being ridiculous with his support of the collectivist Obama and his insulting lies about Palin.

Palin is WAY smarter than Obama.

[laserteam]

@tnekkc HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! you are almost as funny as cleese

[skydark]

@tnekkc Nice trolling.

[flamablesteve]

@tnekkc I think, perhaps, you should learn a little bit about logic, and about the formation of arguments.

Then, you might see that your current view of things was based entirely on absurd assumptions, and overwhelming naivete.

Learn how to think before you make judgments of other peoples positions.

[tnekkc]

@flamablesteve

I have always had a gift for Aristotelian logic, as did Cleese, at one time, but he was seduced by the dark side of Kierkegaardian subjectivity. For those of you in Rio Linda, that means Cleese was born with the ability to do math and logic, but he abandoned it for the emotionalism of show business and liberalism.

How do you tell a funny story?

Explain a plot, and express an emotion.

This is why so many in Hollywood are liberals.

Which is sad.

[spittysmom]

His daughter's sleeping on a bare mattress.

[spittysmom]

I'm surprised by how modestly he lives.

[Asrahn]

The man, the legend.

John Cleese is just hilarious in every sense.

[teddezac]

John cleese is wesome <3

[adreanix]

"are you fully frog, i mean are you partially frog?"

"my matron grandmother is scottish"

"ahh, that would explain it, that's why he looks like a human as opposed to looking like a rodent'"

[tnekkc]

Cleese needs to exercise.

That belly is gross.

He keeps talking about aesthetics.

Look in the mirror, John.

[grobo11]

@tnekkc He's 70, do you want him to have a 6 pack or something? All old men have sticky out bellys.

[edj66]

@tnekkc Oh don't be ridiculous. 

[ChrisDayRocks]

@tnekkc what the hell is your problem man? Way to be an internet troll

[tnekkc]

@ChrisDayRocks

I consider Cleese a troll.

Old, ugly, has been, spoiler, who wants to trash our country with socialism.

[ChrisDayRocks]

@tnekkc Hahaha, your a joke... a walking talking joke. Do you listen to yourself? Please do yourself a favor and quit talking.

btw, i'm not a socialist but I like John Cleese.

[DarkRw1995]

His laugh reminds me of how I sound when my Asthma is playing up xD

[mikelinjo]

OMFG - HIS LAUGH! :)

[PaintSniffer07]

Cleese has never been the same since Fierce Creatures

[stevepising]

comedy genius.

Didn't know he was such an animal lover

[RENEDU2]

cool how he laughs..

[shanustheanus]

He keeps calling the French bloke a frog XD

Which I mean sure, we all do that...but he can get away with it.

[LilyHunt]

Dude would be so much funnier if he didn't try so hard to be funny/eccentric LMAO. Seriously. FFS. Odd for the sake of oddness reeks. And even this guy, great as he may be, can't make a basic Cali ranch interesting.

[skylur44]

@LilyHunt He does not TRY, he DOES, apparently this is not your humor. Move along now, and let the rest of us enjoy unmolested by your puerile comments.

[wwatkins92]

Humorously addicted to animals, both real and metallic. Just one of the many, many reasons John is one of the funniest people ever. Wouldn't mind having a go at that merchandise closet myself....

[Bl33DBL4CK]

why does john cleese need to save money? haha

[Charapova100]

why was his daughter still in bed?! LOL Cleese you are the funniest man alive and don't you dare change

[rageartworks]

"...just to show you how highly intellectual I am and how utterly, devastatingly brilliant my mind is..."

[wongathon]

this is everything cribs should be

[gorilamagro1]

@wongathon it would be awesome if "cribs" had some actual interesting people on it

[8bobthebuilder]

John cleese has developed a tubby tummy.

[jollyjarvis]

John is reudundant. Living in his shitty bungalow. I hope that I never sell myself out like this.

[hellohello66666]

@jollyjarvis a bit of a sell out but when you've done python what else can the world offer

[Juel92]

"That's why you look like a human being, as opposed to a rodent" XD!

[JordanU94]

I absolutely love this man

[sturmraist50]

Frog.

[Frankenpalin]

that Pelican poem sounds like Spike Milligan

[bigboss58]

I love this guy.

[DestinationTruthTV]

A real gentlemen...

[BakaPyros]

I. Love. Him. SO MUCH. :D :D :D

I love cats, they taste just like chicken!!!

[coasttocoasthulk]

Is this a tour show

How much money is it for a bloody ticket to see johns house lol. get in line

love the libary religios book? green frog green the color.

[rons2021]

Cleese! Glad to have you living here in the United States!

[TheBfwal1]

Frog soup anyone?

[Enysvar]

what a nutter xD

[Lothlorien16]

he has the best laugh in the world!!!

[Hendrikdevuile]

A happy man in, as one would expect, a very cosy and amusing home. Lovely cats appreciative of a fine life syle, but just as well they can't read. The frog was pretty useless: perhaps Cleese asked him the French for giraffe in order to get him to say something. I refuse to believe that Cleese didn't already know it was the same word, judging by the multilingual skill he demonstrated in "A Fish Called Wanda" to coax Jamie Lee Curtis into bed with him.

[jpinard]

John, you are so awesome. Thanks for bringing laugh and intelligence to our lives.

[kaizoebara]

I like how he lives in a decent home and not in one of those ridiculous "castles" where you have to have to have 25+ bathrooms because if you had only one you couldn't make it in time if you were on the far end of your property.

[robinamarie007]

Wow, I LOVE the A Fish Called Wanda and Fierce Creatures posters!

[NoOtherNamesWereLeft]

I don't know what to say... I respect this man so much. He hasn't really changed, has he? As nuts as ever.

[ollie3003]

Greatest laugh on earth

[MoveOverCasanova]

the interviewer is so pissed of by cleese, and cleese notices and doesn´t care - great scene

[xemily91]

Cleese's daughter definitely took after her dad. She's got her father's genes. (:

[prancer227]

His kitties are so cute!!!!!

[luvveyduvvey]

hahaha it's sweet how his daughter makes him laugh :) legendrary :D
