  • this totally true about Sarah Palin, but funny enough you mentioned Gaza and Iran being separate when really the Iranians are giving Hamas is a surrogate group of Iran.

  • Micheal Palin IS the funniest And the only important palin We really need

  • i think, Palin talking in CLICHE'S would be a more accurate description

  • what do you think about sarah palin? GGHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!

  • She's not a dead parrot... but, if she SCREECHES in our ears long enough... she may wind up like one of those moose she loves to shoot.

    (Please do not shoot Sarah Palin... let a moose do it.)

    This is comedy folks, spell it for her and put it on a big monitor and she will screech it for ya!

    Bush embarrassed me when he spoke. Obama teaches me a new word every time he speaks. Hillary and/or Sarah could have a "debate" and deafen the entire nation! Mommy, I'm scared!

  • Every body cals Sara Palin a parrot

  • Cleese has it all wrong. Palin is America's national vegetable.

  • Is Sarah Palin as smart as a parrot?

  • When Sarah Palin dies, America's average IQ will go up 5 points.

  • @simoom101

    More like 50 points.

  • @simoom101

    oh shit lol

  • Comment removed

  • I think John Cleese's comparison is an insult to parrots across the planet!

  • when Sarah Palin dies, I bet everyone will say that she's "just resting" XD

  • In America celebrities and politicians are basically the same thing.

  • I love this line: "Monty Python could have written this!"

  • you should make a "Polly wants a cracker" sound byte

  • hahahahah PALIN want's a cracker dontcha know

  • If she is elected president it will make 9/11 seem like a small and harmless thing. Our nation will be doomed by this idiot. It really could happen because the stupid American voters elected Bush 2 consecutive terms and he is also a moron.

  • And don't forget, she is an expert on foriegn policy because she can see Russia from her back yard!

  • has cleese developed an american twang in his accent? disasterous

  • @teetotalhater yeah i noticed that!

  • Monty Python Pet Shop Sketch (John Cleese and Michael Palin. And a mannequin of Sarah Palin)

    "This parrot you sold me." "The Alaskan Red." "Yes, well... she seems to be a bit dead..." "No, she's resting."

  • Rawwwk!!! Palin want a cracker, rawwwk!!!

  • She's pining for the fjords!

  • The United States are viewed as the Village Idiot of the International Community because of all this fuss about incompetent extremists nominated for/elected to important political positions. Palin, Bachman, Brewer, O'Donnell. Are we SERIOUS about these cute mini-skirt clowns with s@it for brains?

    While we swing our tea cups, the world is laughing their asses off about what a bunch of bozos inhabit the "greatest nation on Earth".

  • @fannynoise

    You can say that again. Makes you wonder how the US managed to earn the title 'greatest nation on Earth'.

  • It seems like the presenter likes to show off himself, rather than what is advertised on the clip title,

  • @sakent Man i agree every time i see this guy even when i agree with what hes saying i roll my eyes a bit.

  • the youngturks channel is by far the worst channel on youtube if anybody watches this and listens to it are really dumb

  • @michellekwan483 "if anybody watches this and listens to it are really dumb" - Hmm, yes... quite. And you would be somewhat of an authority on that, wouldnt you?

  • @michellekwan483 Yea...TYT easily gets boorring.

  • @michellekwan483 And anyone who makes a page like yours is batshit crazy.

  • Why don't you liberals name some cities that are doing well w/liberalism?Detroit?lol

  • @cobraman96 Name a conservative state that has a higher quality of life than a developing country. You can't. LMAO.

  • Even a Parrot won't quit being a Parrot.

  • John Cleese's laughter is sooo eloquent!!

  • Having selected Bush as president twice, I was beginning to fear that Palin had an actual chance. Luckily, intellingent interviewers exposed her for what she is. John Cleese nails it pretty well, though I would add bad taste psyko christian.

    Then you elect Obama, and surprise me in a very positive way again.

    What's going on over there? A black president, health care, hightened environmental awareness... It's getting harder and harder to dislike you guys ;)

  • @SolarMichael nah, USA still sucks. Health care reform was a joke, there won't be any climate bill. We did elect a half black president though.

  • Lets ask this stupid man what he thinks of alvin green,Shall we?

  • @cobraman96 Hey, keep defending the conservatard sheeple. It is the only thing you zombies are good for.

  • @normalais U fucking brits can mind ur own business.

  • @cobraman96 I'm from America. Scarah Failin and the braindead zombie sheeple who support here are fucking retarded.

  • @normalais That nobama is doing a bang up job,eh limey?

  • @cobraman96 he's cleaning up the epic mess retardlicans left behind. Unfortunately I guess he's not a jesus freak so he can't simply pray or wave a magic wand and wish all the mistakes to go away.

    This country is in deep deep shit after 30 years of Reaganomics and 8 year of Bush. It will take many many years to recover, if ever.

  • Palin is a dingbat

  • Everything he says, double it for Obama. At least Palin wanted a new 9/11 investigation which the traitor Obama like McCain would never want to re-open and expose the real runners of America.

  • I wonder why the young turds only have an you tube show? say what you want about conservative talk radio,but they are kicking ass and taking names in the ratings,Unlike this moron w/72k views in almost two years!

  • @cobraman96

    All ways wrong but never in doubt...

  • @RareHonesty You're always an asshole and never right!

  • Hahahahhaha,too bad you movies suck.Only gay people in the u.k. would laugh at this idiot!!!!

  • Oh, John Cleese. We love you.

  • @liebeundherzschmerz Why?Because he badmouths an american politician?I know its not b/c of his humor,His skits suck! just the united cuntdom!!!!!!!!!!

  • Plin is a dingbat!

  • @TheKmbt Do you mean like people that can't spell her name? lmao@ you!

  • Oh no! A stupid british comedian(who is not funny and is not an american citizen)is calling someone names.....Her politcal career is over...(sarcasm).I laugh when i see a british citiezens teeth!

  • @cobraman96 "poly wants a cracker, ya betcha!"

    lol you dumbass.

  • @up2trix U want some dick? Ya betcha you do! Get lost you pc of shit!

  • @cobraman96 lol funny thing is sarah palin actually talks like that. like a parrot. and you support her. you total retard.

  • @up2trix Hey asswipe,Whats funny is you live in a fucked up country that has nothing to do w/sarah palin!! Get lost kid.

  • The thing about Sarah Palin is that she illistrates so well how little interest Republicans have in actualy Governing, that is doing the business of Governing and making the Goverment work.

  • Palin is a dingbat!

  • Palin is a nigger!

  • @TheKmbt No,that would be obama...ck the color settings on your t.v,or buy a color set!! lmfao

  • Oddly enough, it ends with Cenk (as Palin) looking at his palm, for the answers. What did Palin do recently? Have the answers written on her hand.

    Cenk knew it then, man!

  • @Tendoking Not the answers,stupid just points she wanted to touch on.I guess she could just says words like corpsemen,huh?

  • After reading her book, I'm inclined to agree that Sarah Palin is not up to running the US. Neither is Obama - he is a demonstrably poor administrator, however eloquent a speaker. Intelligence is necessary in a leader, but leadership is not about intelligence - or we'd simply pick our best physicist to be President. Both parties need to do better. Oddly, I think that agree with her or not, Hillary Clinton is showing she can execute well as SecState. She is showing administrattive mojo.

  • "Demonstrably poor administrator"

    Just wondering what you use to demonstrate that.

  • Can't get his legislation through. Doesn't delegate - micromanages eg the recent health summit. Poor vetting of candidate for senior offices. In contrast, whether you agree with his politics or not, got his legislation through Congress. I think this reflects zobama's never running a large organization, even a small city, much less one of the States. his lack of experience in running an organization shows. In contrast, Carter had been Governor of Georgia, Reagan of California, and FDR of NY.

  • @sukneh

    Well I hope you realise state health care will make health care cheaper yet at the same time better, for everyone. You might pay for others but others will pay for you too. The situation in the US is just silly to any European and we can't imagine a modern country where people are thrown out of hospitals when they need help.

    PS: not something to be proud of, the fact that Cuba has better health care.

  • you betcha! lol poly wants a cracker!

  • i got really confused the first tim i heard her being mentioned on the radio - michael palin running for president?

    although, they seem to like having a comedian in charge...

  • Cleese hit the nail on the head, I hope he does more films.

  • Cleese is very accurate when he says that even monthy python could have written this! The truth is that the United States, once the greatest country on earth, is now a complete JOKE. It is such a decadent country that people like bush, cheney, rumsfeld and now sarah palin can make a career in politics and eventually run the country! The republican party has perverted the american political system, if Lincoln were alive todau he would be so ashamed that he would inmediately chose to be a Democrat

  • you betcha!

  • What is the difference between a republican and a democrat?

    Don't they follow the same orders from above, only in a different way?

    Where i live they call it : left or right.

    The left ones dance around the real issues and the right ones dance around it.

    There's also a middle group dancing left and right and left and right around the round table.

    Does it really matter how they are called or do their thoughts matter?

    Politicians are just empty suits wasting our time, hopes and dreams.

  • Cleese nailed it.

  • Palin is now an ex parrot.

  • @MMG008 She shouldn't hold any position higher than Secretary of Silly Walks.

  • Do you seriously care about what other men do or don't do when it comes to their private sex lives?

    If you do, perhaps you should seek professional help.

    Also, you might want to provide a link or some kind of evidence before you attempt public character assassination of people that have a different point of view.

  • is this guy really turkish?

  • Sorry John, Michael is still the funniest Palin! But seriously, he sums up Sarah Palin perfectly--she's all dress and no filling. Yep, she's a nice-looking woman who no doubt loves her family; but if you look inside you get hollow. Plain and simple.

  • Palin is a dead parrot!

  • Laughing out loud at you imitating Cleese's laugh.

  • Palin wants a cracker.

  • you betcha

  • And Palin is a douche bag....

  • You can't argue with Python... I must agree with Mr. Cleese...

  • He said it...everything you need to know about Sarah Palin in 3 minutes...

  • A parrot called Sarah!!

  • exactly! the parrot analogy is perfect. it's like she can't discuss the positions she supposedly holds.

  • cleese is totaly right monthy python could have written this xD

  • Remarkable bird, innit? Beautiful plumage!

  • ohh nice 1.

  • LastOptionPil: I'd vote for that parrot over Sarah Palin any day!

  • 0:28 - That laugh really sums it all up. XD

  • Thanks for your feedback. Amazing. You didn't hurl any insults or rude attacks!

    We do have a dysfunctional and self-contradicting system of gov't here. I feel very gloomy about where it's headed and I only hope I'm wrong.

    I agree with you that it's hard to have a unique voice in the US political system and be heard. If you don't saddle up with one of the prevailing parties, you will wind up too far into the margins for consideration.

  • Thats why john cleese is the best.

  • Only John Cleese could refer to Palin as a parrot!

    The legend of the Norwegian Blue lives on!

  • George Carlin too

  • I think the joke is when douche bags come on Youtube and put

    PALIN 2012 !!!

    Nothing like down-thumbing a dumbass

    *Waits for this comment to be down-thumbed*

  • palin on my cock 2012, and before and after

  • okay, I have to say it, this is an ex-parrot!

    He's not pinin'! He's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! He's expired and gone to meet 'is maker!

    He's a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed him to the perch he'd be pushing up the daisies!

    His metabolic processes are now history! He's off the twig!

    He's kicked the bucket, He's shuffled off this mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleeding choir invisibile!!

    THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!

  • Comment removed

  • Love that cutting edge sarcasm of- yours, indian guy.- Seeing as how only he could be offended by something like that-

    -

    -

  • Wow, I was going to watch this to see what he has to say, but after what's-his-face referenced Damon's disgourgement, I'm not listening. The first thing he said was, "I know nothing about Palin," and then he proceeds to back it up with evidence.

  • It's ironic that everything that John Cleese just said about Sarah Palin being a parrot, that indian guy repeated.

  • whats this got to do with a democratic party? these are peoples OPINIONS, come now, wake up

  • I'm sharing my observation (my OPINION) about an attitude which has become extant in the culture of the Left. Does that mean I'm in love with the Right? No... the "democracy" of the YouTube thumbs down will have me effectively censored.  Whatever. Read what forestskog writes in the comments below. I'm saying essentially the same thing.

  • I'm sorry but you are generalising 50% of your population from one video. it's unreasonable. Also i think you'll find negative comments on the majority of vid clips is by default asking for thumbs down, go and look.

  • The left used to make a great case about how Fox news was propaganda, then another network co-oped the format and now we have msnbc, which is, likewise, 24 hr spin channel. Call it generalization but there's a seachange -sort of becoming what you hate- in the dialogue and it coalesced deeply over the last 8 years. It's a downward slope for sure. This is politics. Amazing that we disagree, eh?

  • us news is nothing but biased crap anyway. How you can watch it i have no idea, the channels all have agendas.

  • olberman and maddows have been hammering obama for over a month now. between going soft on torture and going after the unions libs are now attcking the president. they seem to stick to beliefs rather than just jumping up and down whenever the person with the right letter next their name tells them to. also tell me one person on fox equeal to scarborough or one who seems to hate all of them like matthews. who on fox gets the coverage that pat buchanan does?still a long way to go....

  • Buchanan is his own idiosyncratic animal, not the generic representative of the GOP (however loosely one wants to define the current vacuum called the GOP). It's not that I love Fox ...but there's plenty of aggregate gravity pulling against the Fox viewpoint on cable news. I disagree that there's a long way to go. The bigger issue is that cable news will never represent journalism on either front. I would be delighted, however, if Olbermann ever had something resembling debate on his show.

  • How you describe the right is the way sneery Europeans describe you behind your back.

  • *squawk!* Palin wants a cracker

  • Somehow I can't see Sarah Palin as the chief of the Spanish Inquisition, nor as the Lumberjack! Leave Michael Palin to be funny in those roles!

  • Sara Palin is a dope. You want evidence? Look.

  • Michael Palin > Sarah Palin.

  • are you a mccain supporter calling cleese old?

  • Sarah Palin is a parrot.

    John Cleese recognizes the parrot.

    Cynk parrots Cleese's observations while pretending to be Sarah Palin being a parrot.

    It's either nonsense or far too postmodern to be serious.

  • "This parrot wouldn't 'vroom' if you put 4,000 volts through it. It's bleeding demised!"

    And that's why we love John Cleese.

  • Obama isn't the end all to be all to make this country better. Attitudes like yours is what this country doesn't need at this time of madness. If you feel like that U can always go join the dumb asses in AK and their Barracuda governor.

  • Thank god that the dumb asses who voted her as mayor of Wasilla and governor of AK don't live in the lower 48!! LMAO

    Those rednecks and their backwards asses can stay the hell up there!!

  • You know, Im independent but vote democrat. But it is tiresome how un-self aware liberals are. You complain about "hateful" "narrow minded" conservatives. Yet u constantly throw around labels, generalizations and petty insults that are parroted over and over "rednecks". To be honest, the left in America smirks that it is smarter and sophisticated, while most of the rest of the world considers YOU TOO just another ignorant ugly American with no class, no taste no culture and very shitty education

  • If we, as Americans, would have voted them, McCain/Palin or vice-versa, into office...the rest of the world would have given US up for dead. At least now we have a spark of life.

  • And that's why she screwed up the Couric interview!

  • norwegian blue perefers keeping on its back

  • John Cleese is superb in everything he does :D

  • OK, as a diehard Pythonite, I am offended. Michael Palin was, is & will always be the funniest Palin! ;-)

  • In the long term...wholeheartedly AGREED!

  • She's passed on! This parrot is no more! She has ceased to be! She's expired and gone to meet her maker! She's a stiff! Bereft of life, she rests in peace! Her metabolic processes are now history! She's off the twig! She's kicked the bucket! She's shuffled off this mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!

  • hahahaha brilliant response psfirst!

  • I'm so sick and tired of Arrogant Brits telling us American's who we should be voting for! John Cleese can stick the Union Jack up his Ass!

  • This old man is more brilliant and more well informed then these fools that believe Palin's qualified and McCain's a better choice for America.

  • Glad I'm not the only one here that wants Europe out of the US, they are going down the drain with not even a replacement birthrate to raise more taxpayers to pay for their social programs and giving welfare to anyone that steps foot in their countries. They are going broke and becoming insignificant, that is until they start becoming Caliphates.

  • John Cleese = AWESOME

  • I have been voting Democratic since 1967 when I turned 21. Voted for many black candidates in 41 yrs! Recently, our Black Governor, Patterson, and went all out for our DA, sadly now probably on the way to jail, but thats beside the point) and served on the Dem, board/elections 25 years& the Upstate NY United Black Coalition as well. Dont bother trying to intimidate me, Ma'am, I may be too well bred to be rude back to you, but I do know my stuff and I cant be tripped up because I tell the truth.

  • John Cleese does indeed have a awesome laugh

  • The winks looked like an Austin Powers fembot.

  • john cleese is so hot

  • Go John Cleese!

  • You sound wildly intelligent.

  • Not sure how wildly intelligent I am, but I take elections very seriously and have been doing intense research for 18 months. I live in NY, so I am very used to voting in black candidates. This is not about color, it's about a forked-tongued man who laughs up his sleeve at how many people he has been able to fool. And more than that, about how TERRIBLE/AntiAmerican his connections have ALWAYS been. He would bring this country to its knees with his solialist agenda. Pray hard, people!

  • OHHHHHH, you are talking about OBAMA...HMMM. At first I thought you were talking about PALIN. Have you been doing your research at the John Birch academy, or perhaps the Fox News Archives. Fork Toungue, UH Yes she does!

  • "I live in NY, so I am very used to voting in black candidates. This is not about color, it's about a forked-tongued man who laughs up his sleeve at how many people he has been able to fool."

    Cite specific examples of how Obama has pulled the wool over our eyes. Bye the way being from New York has NOTHING to do with voting in black candidates. Tell us who you voted into office, huh? I can't hear you....Uh what was that? NO ONE? I figured as much.

  • "He would bring this country to its knees with his solialist agenda."

    Last night 10.29.08 on Larry King Live John McCain admitted that Barack Obama is NOT a socialist. NEXT LIE>>>>

  • Exactly! Well said, John!

  • FOX NEWS -The Spin Zone -Informers for the Neo-Nazis -Corporate Politics keeps us rich -The Australian's doing crowd control -Inciting war because it sells more -More profit in oil than in solar collecting foil -A cog in the Military Industrial Complex -Republican MEGAPHONE! -Right wing extremism -Fascism at its purest - 1 World, 1 Dream, 1 Perspective -Youll die unless you take the pill from our ad break -Dividing the people -Fear & Hysteria -Leading the Sheeple
  • Palin is so dense, obtuse, and extremey underqualified to be VP or POTUS. Why? because, quite plainly, she is DUMB. It's so obvious to America and the whole world that she and Bush are both so DUMB. Its time for us to finally have an intelligent, sophisticated, worldy, sharp, and well-educated leader. Lets SMART UP AMERICA, not DUMB DOWN, as the GOP has done to us in the last 8 years. GOP is rich BUT DUMB. Show me the GPA's and you'll see whos the best choice! The BEST SHALL LEAD US!

  • Washed up? Maybe he thanks being British.

  • He's a smart person with political opinions. Unlike Sarah Palin who isn't and has none.

  • Lets see, a Mother of 5 who runs for the PTA, than runs for Mayor and Wins, than Runs for Governor and wins! And now is on the Repubican ticket? Yeah....she hasn't accomplished a thing!

  • @Joejam2845

    That was in Alaska, a mayor of 9000 poeple town is NOTHING!!!!! Any CEO of any large corporation as more experience in leading and buisness thant her, There are thousands of bigger cities than Wassila and a lot of bigger states to...

    Hitler accomplished a lot to, does it make it a great person/politician?

  • It's amazing....anytime you discuss someone you disagree with, the Name Hitler always pops up! Than explain how it is that Joe Biden at age 68 is somehow very qualified to represent and John McCain at age 72 isn't? I'm tired of this stigma that only Career politicians in Washington are capable of representing us.
