John Lennon talks about thurberization

[aaronscrewme]

Eww Dick Cavett is a tare.

[SunglassesAtNite1]

I miss forrest

[captaincomputa]

The interviewer looks half asleep

[panzermort]

obviously itching off the gear here, i wonder did he ever get clean

[TheSololobo]

John Lennon has that look that says - you wanna be clever motherfucker, you wanna dance, alright then lets dance.

[LithiumTheKid]

If give peace a chance was his message which I believe it was then would wearing a military costume be the best way to promote it? Maybe an early attempt at reverse psychology?

[TransliteratedJumble]

It's the test-market of any "free" people: the will to establish governmental eugenics' boards; to fish from bridges; to bury Mom in the basement. The pocks that flush our faces; the crud that aggregates our agri-forms; the holds on stocks; the tendency of women to wash their waist-length hair in the kitchen sink for the sake of convenience—these are what we as men & lesbians file north from as they are in popery's limbo between tolerance & toleration.

[Joshmf]

@TransliteratedJumble I like your jibe, but I'm not sure I understnd it?

[chopinesprit]

te amo, john! volve, por favor!

[2010stupidass]

That's what I tell my sister now, betty rollins legs haha

[ThatDrummrGuy]

"I'd just like to say... Betty Rollins' legs!"

[5thfemalebeatle]

I love his shoes, I love his shirt, I love his hair, I love his glasses, I love his face, I love his voice, I love his music, I love his cleverness, I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!! <333

[TheNicholas0202]

Is John singing Britania rules at the end!? hahaha

[happyhazelnut]

Is it just me.....or was John a lot smarter than Yoko? They dont seem to be intellectually compatible.

[nblumer]

@happyhazelnut

I actually think the opposite way. John is just very verbose. English is her 2nd language but she is also more restrained in her responses

[happyhazelnut]

@nblumer I guess so. They seemed to really love each other...

[TheSololobo]

@happyhazelnut I was just wondering the same thing, or was she completely different in private. Whatever it was he seems to respect her.

[maynardyorke]

@happyhazelnut they were intellectual equals, john was just more obvious

[DanvanBeatlesfan]

Seeing John makes me smile

[MrPabloFTW]

Betty Rollins' legs!! Hahahahahaahahaha

[2010stupidass]

7:09 Betty Rollins legs haha

[BeatlEPMJo]

Lovely and witty Johnny <3........lucky Yoko.....lol

[oslin1]

So refreshing to see an open, genuine personality. Lennon was such a lively and irrepressible character.

[2010stupidass]

3:31

[2010stupidass]

4:08 to funny 

[bigfucker2010]

i only knew john by his music. i didn't know he was also witty and a comedian...you have to be swift to catch his joke.

[wellybootsteve]

john was really clever.

[Jmurray5150]

Are Yoko's tits on her knees?

[meanmachine210]

cavettbiter in some of your videos you call john a bitch do you not like him?

[MayonaiseKing100]

Guns being legal in America, what a BRILLIANT idea!! now all the people who stand up for equal rights and peace like John Lennon can get MURDERED! God bless the 'land of the free' where racism is rife, people run around obsessing with firearms and a heath care system checks a person's wallet before treating that person dying in the street! [heavy, heavy does of sarcasm]

[pretorious700]

John was one of the greatest sardonic wits of the 20th century.

[7isinha7]

It's my imagination or these are some of the scenes used in the film Furrest Gump, when he is with John Lennon? :O

I think that John doesn't say the same in the film and in this video (I'm not totally sure because I'm Spanish).

I only found one video, and it's in italian... sorry for this little error... The scenes are the same since 4:09 to 4:20, and other single scenes.

·[Forrest Gump incontra John Lennon]: /watch?v=eNBbiSXHrkk&feature=r­elated

[starryian007]

Happy 70th birthday John - from a fellow Englishman who misses you.

[eyetolduso]

I really enjoy hearing John talk about anything in interviews. It's such as shame he was taken away so young :(

[JaackTurner]

I probably sound dumb, but whats the Betty Lorrel's legs joke?

[francosanub]

Lennon is the TRUTH. YOU can be the truth too, believe in peace and love and nothing else, you'll be fine.

[michaelmcgovern119]

notice john a raises the dangers of smoking almost 35 years before our government got it mainstream

[lanser87]

Everybody's sweaty. 

[totustuus333]

it is so nice to see John agan

[mms8021]

Betty Rollins' leg.

[JOESGONNAKILLY0U]

only if john could visit the world now. everything he preached is wrong.



[mccl2007]

WHAT A HORRIBLE WOMAN... JOHN LENON WAS BLIND??

[michaelmcgovern119]

@mccl2007

love isnt in looks mate;).

[mccl2007]

@michaelmcgovern119 hehehe, you´re right, I was kidding... ;-)

[betterfun]

betty rollins legs

[broadjumper1]

This was the sequence that was used in Forrest Gump...sans Yoko of course.

[rainbowstar78]

john knew major secrets thats why they murdered him...

[MisterKillswitch]

@rainbowstar78 Please take your trolling elsewhere. Go look up "paul is dead"

[rainbowstar78]

@MisterKillswitch as usual another ignorant person with nothing of value to say... go look up the word WANKER....!

[michaelmcgovern119]

@rainbowstar78

i agree

[jaysgamevids08]

what did john mean by Betty Rollins legs?

[SuperYantz]

That's whiskey John sips at 3:31!

[Proletariat12]

great performer and song writer, but he was just a weird guy... Not very funny, a bit awkward, and everybody that loves him is going a bit too far. He was just weird.

[PorkytheHedgehog]

@Proletariat12 How is he awkward? Do you find it unsettling that he was one of the few people in history brave enough to do something that impacted the whole world in a positive way?

[Proletariat12]

@PorkytheHedgehog His mannerisms. I was talking about his personality. What the hell does the second question have to do with anything?

[PorkytheHedgehog]

@Proletariat12 I was trying to predict why you found him awkward. Way to comprehend things.

[lifestraight]

2:29 "Well it's not bad my dear." LOL John's funny.

[PixieDust1996]

"I just wanna say, Betty Rollin's legs!"

I started cracking up xD

[joshuademoraes]

Dick reminds me George Bush...I don't know why :)

[123guitartom123]

yoko had a miscarriage.... huh john says that around four mins.... wonder how that happend... hope it wasn't john who caused it. I've heard people claim that he kicked her in the stomach and random stuff like that... johns my favorite musician though so i hope its not true. anyone else have an opinion?

[KittyKattyYukiLvr]

@123guitartom123 I heard that it was drugs...he DID NOT kick her in the stomach. :)

[sisterdiggins]

Dick Cavett was one one of the best TV hosts of all time. He was always poised , articulate and very open minded for those times. As for Yoko , she was the woman John chose to be with

but people can complain till the end of time, nothing will change , will it?

[lockyfan]

what makes this such a good interview is that the guy doing the interview is just as or maybe a little more wittier than John. But just a little slow.

Betty Rollins Legs!

[acdcman999]

2:52

you okay john?

[mayorofwilsonville]

"youre on the road to failure if you carry on this way" and look what happened...genius

[sodapoplolliepop]

Betty Rollins Legs!

[JS2498762]

man, John was so sexy at at time...

[Starrman69]

John was clever, you have to be quick to catch his wit.

[wbrinegar]

Shut up, Yoko.

[weirdly666]

Ha Ha Ha!!!

John throws out the ``I`m always playing with myself`` line near the end and Dick Cavett counters with the `òh-shit` look.

Totally fucking classic +1

[WoodRatGirl]

lol weirdly666 I cracked up at that myself.

RIP John you wonderfully witty and talented man.

[JP5466]

Just an observation... John probably would've eventually died from complications of smoking, the same as George did. How many cigs did he have during this interview?.. 10?

[211123436]

Same as paul and ringo too.....oh hang on their still alive. So thats a shit observation....probably.

[p0llenp0ny]

Two words.. Jim Fixx.

[MerryMary07]

@ 4:10 is where the Forrest Gump scene was taken from. Nice!

[zackfuller]

after watching a few of these I've gained a new respect for Dick Cavett. He's wittier than john, and slower.

[xXCptCharlesXx]

Sweet video, you just added it a few days ago eh? nice.

[zapeti1235]

John is such a witty boy! I <3 him!!!

[Fromaster39]

If something happens to me and Yoko, it was not an accident - John Lennon

[AndreFroMan]

Here's to you, cavettbitter:

"It's silly to be so bitter, isn't it?" [John Lennon]

[WoodRatGirl]

Actually Andre his bame is cavettbiter not bitter so you lose ;P
