Jhon Cleese 514,754 views... Gordon bloody Ramsay 600,626, simply what the FUCK!

[mrdixon172]

JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVESSSS!

[Irishborne]

oh...man, I just noticed that he looks very similar to billy connolly. I've never really noticed that before.

[Michaelscoolio]

John Cleese has the best voice. I would listen to him read a phone book, i swear. he is so smart in interviews too. I actually found a bunch of cool interviews with him over on the snapsnap channel.

[christianfff]

whats up with the high concentration of ad rants in this vids comments? :|

[megahypersuperhero]

[Insult] + [advertisement] + [YouTube]

[yeahimshrod]

I've never seen a video that was worth sitting through a pre-roll. This video is no exception.

[bearsam23]

pretty sure the main point of bbc is no adverts. cheating cunts!

[TheStarlessAeon]

@bearsam23 On tv that is.

[flutterby1524]

John Cleese :)

[zilbe333]

FUCK ADVERTS

[MrBastilleDay]

The people who make these ads should be forced to write Romans Go Home 100 times on a wall..if it's not finished by sunrise..I'll cut their balls off.

[JohnMstudios]

would everyone stop complaining about ads!!

the ads are the reason youtube is free and it pays the partners too, so you're getting better videos. and how impatient do you have to be to complain about a ten second ads, and your the time it took you to type the comment took longer than the ad..

[heythisisBETH]

everyone's complaining about all the ads....

so here is a little tip for you,

1: Get Google Chrome

2: Get Ad Blocker Extension

3: sit back and watch videos ad free...LIKE A BOSS

On another note, John Cleese is a UTTER, UTTER LEGEND!

[JamieAndroidFan]

@heythisisBETH most people who use youtube are too retarded to even know what an extension is lol. I laugh at the people who complain about ads

[SoundWavesSurfer]

Fuck You ads on Youtube! 2 Dont have nothing to do with me! I have to watch a shit I would never buy and that is almost offensive to me! I HATE DIESEL GAY COMERCIAL WITH A GUY WITH A PERFUM IN IS DICK!! WHAT KIND OF COMERCIAL IS THIS YOUTUBE??????????? I HATE DIESEL FASHIN, PERFUMS AND ALL THAT DIESEL MEANS! I HATE DIESEL, DIESEL SUCK!

[bann60]

@SoundWavesSurfer

YEAH FUCK GOING ON YOUTUBE FOR FREE FUCK IT

grow up

[SoundWavesSurfer]

@bann60 If u think is ok to deal with publicity on every single video, not inderect on the sides, but in THE VIDEO making you wait for it to end to finally get to the video, and all this to maximize profit and alienate people. Well... I am glad for u to say for me to grow up, becouse obviously you never did.

[bann60]

@SoundWavesSurfer Alienate people? who? maximise profit? you tubes right your using the website.

[SoundWavesSurfer]

@bann60 1 Youtube is not free, we pay Youtube watching publicity that gives them profit. 2 Mankind has a long history of abuse by corporations, in the end this corporations destroy themselves doing so. 3 I love Youtube that´s why I want to coloborate with the right to express my opinion that consistes in the inadequacy of the publicity, and the quantity of the same publicity that I am being subject. Mostly I watch videos of guitar oriented music is not logical that I receive perfum pub.

[abdufiadbfajdfb]

it sucks that both of the top comments aren't about Cleese or the things being discussed in the interview.

[StuckenFoned]

OMG I H8 ADS

herpderp hurrrrrrrrrr pbbbblllltt

[PixelOfDeath]

@StuckenFoned Adblocker

[StuckenFoned]

@PixelOfDeath I was being incredibly ridiculous by using terrible spelling and grammar, I hoped by adding in the 'herps & derps' that people would catch the joke...

[rflood89]

Go on youtube take down your commercials so then we all have to pay a monthly subscription :/... 179 fuckin idiots!

[Duro83]

@rflood89 Hmmh. That's weird. I don't see any adds. Are so many people unable to use addblockers? :D

[dykesy30]

There aren't supposed to be adverts on the BBC...

[jhibbitt1]

wow he's really old now, i mean i knew he would be, im just so used to seeing him young lol. may this legend of british actors and writers live forever XD

[sixtiksix]

Who is the guy with the mustache....he doesn't sound like an american....and not at all funny....sounds like a canadian accent....probably walks funny though....

[Diazreta]

@sixtiksix the legend that is parkinson! he's not really supposed to be funny he was a journalist and as for his accent he's certainly not american or canadian he's a yorkshire man!!

[annie10103]

It's the frog king from Shrek! And nearly headless nick from harry potter!

[johan371]

@annie10103 you should really look up what he's done before Shrek and Harry Potter..

[annie10103]

@johan371

Hmm good point......But still, SHREK AND HARRY POTTER!!! YAAYYAYAAY!

[AnAverageGom]

@annie10103 Basil Fawlty! The leader of the People's Front of Judea! Sir Lancelot! Yaaaaay!

[annie10103]

@AnAverageGom

Okay, okay, damn. I was only saying what I thought.....

[AnAverageGom]

@annie10103 Just adding to the joy. :D

[annie10103]

@AnAverageGom

So it would seem.....:)

[Tiamat583]

Cleese is an amazingly amazing english actor. he was awesome in the bronson bond films!!

[markusbirth]

"Could you call me a taxi?" - "You are a taxi!"

[Shizzmonger]

@swedish89 *actor

[Eldomina22]

/watch?v=DGm6NCJCm8I

[Eldomina22]

@haolesbrothers how in the world can you people never have hear of AdBlock, add it to your Firefox browser, you'll never see another YouTube ad again

[vargstrande]

Google is the devil for buying youtube and poisoning it with ads....

[Cookycookcook]

No easy jet I do not want to book a holiday to Alicante! I want to go to faulty towers!!!!

[Mcmotherfuckingrory]

"Yes, I had to make him much smaller."

John Cleese, you are one of the brightest stars of my youth.

"But that's socialism, aye?"

[comradeH]

omg! he's old!

[scrollockify]

What year was this broadcast please ?

[vivvpprof]

lol that's how most of the government institutions' employees treat people in my country :) You're always unwanted, troublesome, uninformed, stupid etc. in their eyes and it takes ages before you get anything done...

[VonTavast]

@vivvpprof Horrible isn't it?

[GTI1dasOriginal]

@myiuer Nice hello back ;-)

I adore Cleese... Not only in Fawlty Towers, but also in Monty Pyhon.

I have some on my channel. :-)

[GTI1dasOriginal]

@myiuer have youu seen part 2?

[GTI1dasOriginal]

@myiuer You couldn't be more right!

the way he played basil for instance is brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

[thugthumper1]

@scooperzed Are you a walking talking bag of douche?

[scooperzed]

Oh look 25 people preesed the wrong like button :0)

[0rganix]

[MyMusic0201]

Fuck off with your commercials, YouTube!

[iStyleProduction]

@MyMusic0201 Google Chrome, addblock

[whitewolfe35]

25 people never silly walked

[DoctorX101]

Who the hell would "dislike" this?

[bhelish]

He kinda looks like old snake

[dogmatix15]

yes i had to make him much taller! well duh :D

[MoveOverCasanova]

with that moustache he simply looks like a complete asshole, though he was a really smart, goodlokking guy when shaved and with long hair, like in fish called wanda!

[jonnyrisas]

@MoveOverCasanova oo grow up....

[MoveOverCasanova]

@jonnyrisas ??? what´s the problem?

[jonnyrisas]

@MoveOverCasanova why even think that he looks like asshole with a moustache....i don't get it?

do you know somebody with a moustache who is an asshole? and your reflecting it on him or something? it's didn't sound very mature...thats all

[MoveOverCasanova]

@jonnyrisas come on, don´t pretend you don´t get it -- e.g. like in wanda, he looked just adoreable, sweet, you know what i mean? and with that brush in the face he looks...well, like one of those square characters he used to mock in his sketches, - some people look better with a beard, he looks like an asshole, and i want my john cleese to look sweet and not like an asshole, is that acceptable to you? thanks

[jonnyrisas]

@MoveOverCasanova fine...im not going to argue...but what would fawlty towers be without that moustache that makes basil such an asshole..

[MoveOverCasanova]

@jonnyrisas well, no need to argue, you confirm my very words -- the moustache is the "asshole-factor amplifier"LOL!!!

[Brolytheultimate8]

@MoveOverCasanova A moustache makes someone look like an asshole? What the hell?

[MoveOverCasanova]

@Brolytheultimate8 i find it makes HIM look like an asshole

[masterthehate2]

@MoveOverCasanova I fucking hate trimming my ass stache

[mmcrosbie]

I didn't know Basil Fawlty was modeled after a real person! LOL!

[ademsullivan]

Official Fawlty Towers Soundboard just released for iPhone / iPad! Loads of classic clips!

itunes.apple.com/gb/app/fawlty­-towers-soundboard/id406176997­?mt=8#

[Diazreta]

It takes someone of great personality to go to a hotel where there is a really rude manager and insted of get pissed off by it, see the humour in it and go on to write one of the best sitcoms ever!

[deadpaul]

Sooo, how are we supposed to eat meat in Britain? Just so I don't embarrass myself should I visit there. :-)

[konradfat]

"Don't mention the war"

[pusho12]

my god i wish i met that man, i have never laughed as hard, as often, as much at fawlty towers and john cleese than anything else

[Soilwar]

legend

[dylanlawless1]

Fuck You ads on Youtube!

[lucyandnyuuatonce]

@dylanlawless1

It keeps youtube free, if you'd much rather pay, be my guest

[acrobaticaromatic]

@dylanlawless1 Adblock plus, my friend, Adblock plus. One of the greatest firefox add-on's ever.

[TheCrusaderBin]

@dylanlawless1 Ads? What ads? Are there any ads on youtube? Have been years when I last opened something without ad-block on xD

[dylanlawless1]

@TheCrusaderBin do you work for ad-block.com or something? I use it now anyway so you and all the others with the same message can relax :D

[TheCrusaderBin]

@dylanlawless1 lol I wish I worked for them. Actually hard to find a job, but I'm trying :P If you're hiring. On a serious note, I was actually suprised some people learned of adblock recently (while others still browse without it), while Internet is un-usable with millions of ads and popups >_< That is why I stopped watching TV completely :P No adblock for it. Only one-time solution I found was a hammer. Cost-efficiency is low though.

[ZaZaTheDoG]

@dylanlawless1 adblockplus for mozilla = no more ads

[Muzikman127]

@dylanlawless1 The BBC makes and releases programmes internationally on the basis of ad revenue. Just like other broadcasting companies. If you'd rather pay for the privilege then fine,if not then STFU and endure a short advert...

[Sepatron]

@dylanlawless1 I suggest you google "ad-block"

[nippononna]

John Cleese is so sexy to me, no matter how old he gets...

[ladyartemas912]

enough with the commercials already people. Ugh.

[tnekkc]

canned laughter for an interview?

[pufixas]

@tnekkc

totaly...

[Sylderon]

@tnekkc I don't really think that's canned.

[Truegeeza]

Why its in 2 parts? Its BBC plain stupidity that it is in 2 parts thats why!

[TheRabbitFear]

why split it into 2 parts? :S

[Fidelisadmortem]

@TheRabbitFear  two videos with 300.000+ views is better than one

[Dezenaambestaatal]

Briljant Geweldig en nog meer van die woorden

[play123full]

Was that the actor from "Clockwise" ? Loved it! And him :)

[cherb49]

Classic, I love John Cleese and Parky

[Playver1337]

There are many awesome actors, John is on the top 10

[addisonshinedown]

@TheAwesomeChick1 no, because i don't listen to ismof. ismof is the least talented group ever in existence. john cleese is one of the most talented comedians ever... so now, that's not why.

[SHEPARDWISPERER]

euro trash , washed up broken down bald headed scumbag

[evanparker]

what is wrong with cutting meat like this?

[LillyDoofy]

John Cleese is the best person in the world

[filmmakingjoe]

Priceless. That's the closest to Basil I have seen him since the show. Would love it if they did another episode just for the fun of it. I am sure it wouldn't be difficult at all to find someone to fund it.

[Empathisantin57]

Ein wirklich schööööööner Mensch....Innen und Außen....

[jerryhello100]

I think John Cleese aged best out of all the Python's. Eric seems to have faired the worst, well, after Chapman, of corse.

[colinwebb12]

Terry Jones has aged quite well I think.

[metallord999]

Amazing amounts of passion and feeling put into his work

[deejaysyn]

this guy is class

[marrydruli]

this guy is amazing.

[pokeherface87]

john cleese best english actor!

[rosscoe01]

@pokeherface87 Agreed as a kid he was was my favorite actor even :)

[IanTheSecondComing]

@pokeherface87 best actor ever!

[SchoolgirlCrush121]

John Cleese is one of those awesome people who's just awesome in every way.

[flimpkin4]

I'd like him more if he didn't have 12 houses, marry & divorce women every 10 years, and do adverts for every big corporation out there.

[randomloves74]

@flimpkin4 That's almost every celebrity out there! There's a lot of celebs you must dislike then.

[paddaman1]

It pay's the bills!

[flimpkin4]

Maybe I'm disappointed because he's a member of a (for its time) alternative comedy troupe, and yet for 30 years he's been doing all the things any mainstream celeb would -- shilling for corporations, habitual marriage/divorce, buying more houses than he could ever live in -- so I feel conned.

[somberlight]

you're serious about throwing his whole career to a basket because in later stages of career he ended up being financially mad? you serious? dont judge a guy of what he ended up to be, judge the big picture. yes, he's no saint but his later life antics do not diminish his earlier success in any manner. _imo_

[preachingsin]

If you're more concerned with the life of the artist than the art you're only setting yourself up for disappointment and fail.

[thejugglenaut91]

and newton was into the occult, it doesn't destroy how much of a genius he was.

[jimbopumbapigsticks]

What business is it of yours? Do you expect him to live his life according to your holier-than-fucking-thou standards?

[Galamb90]

and i love the Fawlty Towers too! so funny!!

[Galamb90]

i love him!

[seriousRaver]

In his Movies he comes across as a real moody person but when you meet him up close he's one of the kindest and down to earth people that you would ever meet.

[courtneypee123]

mosquitovictim  you idiot

[TheLarssan]

I love John Cleese!

[ianhumphreys7]

Jonh Cleese American Independence, search it. Funny stuff.

[reeveman]

im sure "adictosalruido" is referencing the line from The Life Of Brian

"What have the romans ever done for us ?!

if not, hes just weird lol

[adictosalruido]

WHAT HAS JOHN CLEESE EVER DONE FOR US?!

[milkgodnl]

answer: .. he makes us laugh ..

[FuryLobo]

fawlty towers

[rayjr62]

@adictosalruido He entertains us and he is NOT American.

[yot5000]

Nothing really BUT LAUGH Or Cry? Tiake your pick.............

[Seidesilk]

Is that a reference to John Cleese's line in Life of Brian?

[OrmEmber]

Well, he's made us laugh for 30 years, which is more than you ever did. Also, as far as I know he's never written in ALL CAPS!

(though I'm sure you're just kidding...)

[mosquitovictim]

Alright, but apart from "How to Irritate People", "Monty Python", "Fawlty Towers", "A Fish Called Wanda", many more sketches and films, and diverse commercials - what has John Cleese ever done for us!?

watch?v=ExWfh6sGyso

[kaih8941]

[ArielXSecret]

[curiosofsigns1234]

John Cleese is a prisoner of his own moustache.

[AshLuvsJonnyStew]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!

[gamer025]

funny i was just thinking to myself "has he had that mustache for his whole career?"

[ilikepez]

@ronarprfct: you show all symptoms... always avoiding to get to the point of an argument... always coming up with another twist trying to make to opposite forget what the dialogue was all about...

i guess you are still in denial... if i am wrong you will have nothing to lose from a visit to a doctor..

[ronarprfct]

You're obviously a hopeless idiot, and the video is obviously NOT about religion, so let's call the conversation quits, as it is unlikely to produce anything worthwhile.

[ilikepez]

@ronarprfct: too late... you already have doubts about your sanity since you stopped to quote the bible or make similar ridiculous remarks in your last 2 replies... i am happy i could help you to overcome your disorder a little :)

[ronarprfct]

Boy, you are truly an idiotic loser. YOU may have doubts about my sanity, but I have NONE and nothing I've said indicates I have any such doubts.

[tepporocks]

What the fuck does any of this have to do with John Cleese being interviewed?!!

[ztv]

Happy birthday John 70!

[MrComment999]

was it his birthday yesterday?

[baTonkaTruck]

the fact that a video clip of john cleese has devolved into some pseudo-religious debate is just more evidence against "intelligent design"

[macarion]

I'm American, how the hell else are you supposed to eat meat?

[owenhunt]

By putting it straight into your mouth rather than stabbing it like a demonised toddler going medieval on his pet goldfish.

That is how else you can eat meat?

[macarion]

Putting it straight into your mouth?

...Don't you have to use the fork?

[owenhunt]

Indeed, but without the inane stabbing is preferable is our country, and indeed in most.

One stab is usually enough to fix a chunk of meat to the end of a fork, but if we are talking about eating soap, well then, perhaps you Americans have the desired method.

P.S. You can actually eat all meat with the sole use of hands, with burgers in baps this is common practice. You may have observed this exception to the usual decourum in your own country, in highway diners and other such places.

[macarion]

...I've only seen people use one "stab."

[owenhunt]

This is fair enough but the comment you made in response this video leaves one to believe that you are unawarehow else you can eat mat other than stabbing at it.

You may not understand what John Cleese meant when he sais this, which in fact isn't his opinion anyway, but the opinion of his inspiration for Basil Fawlty at the hotel he stayed at so many years ago.

When he says someone is "stabbing" a piece of meat he means that this happens plurally. One "stab" is singular, and is normal.

[macarion]

Why would you stab it more than once haha wtf

[owenhunt]

Try to read the information I am giving you... The Hotelier that inspired the creation of Basil Fawtly is the very same Hotelier who reprehended an American customer for stabbing his meat more than once.

I am gong to take a guess that this culinary quirk both happens very little teeday in America, and that you won't have witnessed it as an American yourself because you are not Upper Class.

It may not happen much today, but Americans once used to stab meat multiple times before digesting.

[macarion]
