Fawlty Towers: Beating the Car interview - Fawlty Towers - BBC

[SleepEat3D]

I love how he does not even give the car a chance just ... 1 2 3right ! LOL !

[Whalebladder]

The road is wet you globe

[RonBurgundy161]

The road is dry in the first few seconds of the scene.

[mara66M]

great scene 1of D best ever

[ssssroryssss]

I want to do this to a Nissan Juke!!!!

[AsuyaAriyoshi]

74 ppl dont like car violence lol

[TheAlvMusic]

how can you not like this? you got really to be the most unhumoures person in the world.

[feraldarryl]

To see the actual location where this was filmed, go to Google maps and enter "Mentmore Close and Lapstone Gardens, Brent, United Kingdom"

[Cool2BCeltic]

It's fair to say that humour can be a very serious academic study.

[shizzlepie]

i want to live on that street, it looks nice lol

[Cool2BCeltic]

@shizzlepie Be prepared for people losing their temper when their cars break down.

[LionheartNh]

back in the 70s the license was worth it..not now

[yaketysaks]

what is wrong with 73 people?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Emrald70]

@yaketysaks 74 people need a damn good thrashing!

[topcat5665]

Yeah what are the adds for?

[jontibloom]

My Mother had one of those cars in that vomit inducing mustard yellow colour that Austin loved so dearly. It took 5 minutes of gentle tweaking of the choke to start each morning (add another 10 minutes to that if it was raining or cold) and frequently conked out for no particular reason. Yes, Basil I can 100% identify with your actions.

[noinas01]

Not a mini.....Austin 1100 traveller estate....

[inthejungle1332]

I found this hillarious and at the same time... sad I loved my mini, fleetingly I may add, I did move past it for a moment lol humour is the best medicine for the body mind spirit

[TheKarinavargas]

i do not like

[fusionfreq]

i dont really mind as bbc is going down and needs money like never before. but fawlty towers was funded by the licence fees. and now world wide simple uploaded it.

[SURHOMME123]

You can see the camera man in the right side of the windsreen

[Gazooki69]

So ironic that this is banned under the new BBC guidelines...

[IAmKingBonzo]

which guidelines exactly? And what is banned, using a branch as a prop?

[brwhizz]

Why is there advertising on a BBC video?

[TheGrimsdale]

It stopped me watching the video. Fucking hate adverts.

[fusionfreq]

yeah bbc with ads ...after all those licensing fees we paid,

[mikemetaled]

@brwhizz It's from BBC Worldwide and not funded by the licence fee payer

[IAmKingBonzo]

BBC Worldwide is a private company owned by the BBC which goes out internationally - not in the UK.

[pauloheypaulo]

@Jake: think the car was an Austin 1100 Countryman ....

[JAKE09GY]

What car was it?

[titaniumcreed]

ha ha, classic scene

[missutillydog769]

The Monty Python crew/Faulty Towers are the most uplifting comedies ever!

[tellymad649]

I have to admit, that sixties, seventies and eighties comedies were one of the best things the BBC came up with at that time

[paksallion]

faulty towers is hands down the funniest 12 episodes of anything i've ever seen loll!

[jpjames1]

The weather makes it funny a wet miserable monday morning look about it.

[FluExpert]

BBC to trash. sucks

[brybish]

my god this is me and my 67 landrover.

[gagoff]

When I was 6-8 and visited my uncle I used to watch Fawlty Towers or Terminator 2 on VHS. As I grew up I started watching more John Cleese, namely Monty Python, and I just love everything he does. Seems like such a great guy too

[xTunafishx]

lol, this really never gets old!

[SufferOutLoud]

Fawlty Towers never gets old, its classic comedy which is was t.v today is lacking.

[MightyGallade]

this is hilarious!

[samholdsworth]

lol i get angry with mechanical things like this

[luke200202]

ive seen my dad do that

[ryancrich]

i do that now an im only 23!

[spiralisedcat]

Classic BRITISH comedy,ive lost count of the laughs watery foules has given me :D

[sumhinsilly]

fawlty towers was classic comedy...everything about it was fanny!!!!

[feelmoogish]

was that a pun or a typo?

[sumhinsilly]

lololol sorry...that was a typo :)

[2strong2cool]

very dated

[Tommiclio]

Umm no...

[IdarkphoenixI]

Its not going to be funny if John Cleese is sitting there analysing it..

[jammygamer]

It's fascinating to think about all of the details required to make one little scene funny.

[AshLuvsJonnyStew]

oh man good stuff!

[1994jamiet]

i love Fawlty towers, so funny

[SuperhelterYNWA]

Best comedy of all time

[cinemavirtualis]

Pretty good, except for all the F'ing ADVERTISEMENTS!!

[IdarkphoenixI]

Adblock plus it. It works perfectly.

[supra516]

fawlty towers is well funny :')

[StuartTattersall]

Classic!

[CidHighwindRocks]

Only John Cleese could make this sequence hilarious instead of just a giggle

[bluewhiting]

This scene was just so perfect in its simplicity. Absoluitly brilliant!!!!!

[TCt83067695]

That is great. I've just been watching the first episode here on youtube and its actually jogged my memory.

ps i'm a late 80s baby :P

I might have been 5 or 7 at the time but I used to watch it in Nigeria and I just started thinking about it recently but I couldn't remember what it was called.

Even the theme song is all coming back to me now.

Thanks again!;)

[maromma]

NO NO! stop with the adverts at the start!  jeesh

[nathanaellogan]

the adverts are by google look in the bottom right of it and you will see it tells you

[maromma]

Its not so much that i wanted to know about the adverts. i was just complaining TBH :) its a fecking joke!!

[DavidZebra1]

I love Fawlty towers

[kaykoyasuddin]

woow, everything camera shot is actually done to support the joke.

[TCt83067695]

I need some help

I used to watch it when I was kid. I'm sure its a sitcom and i think it was british but the guys in the show could pinch their nose and then disappear and reappear.

I just can't seem to remember what it was called. Any help would be appreciated

[Urko2005]

whats all this waffling bull, the clip is fawlty towers which is comedy and laugh at the vid

[unclegusyo]

we have to pay for tv licenses cos the bbc won't allow advertising? hmm...

[Armedrainbow]

Omg so funny i luv this show makes me wanna laught so much XD

[ramshackeee]

lets not forget the english language is complete bullshit anyway. why spell gate gate and bait bait. phone should be spelt fone whatever retard decided to spell it that way if a pretentious prick. Also classic bit of comedy i have always believed that branch played its part perfectly.

[rustyredline]

So true. pneumonia lmao or psychology wtf? some cunt thought let's be confusing. But in English languages defence French is bullshit what's with all this masculine feminine gendered words I'm still baffled.

[foltano]

You are still baffled because you are probably as thick as pigshit.

[foltano]

Explain what is pretentious about the way phone is spelt?

[WillowMarsden]

There is a gate that is spelled 'gait' and a bait that is spelled 'bate', which I guess makes it even more ridiculous =)

[zysban]

quite sad that all some people can do is argue and not relax for once in a while (get some lives guys). amazing clip!

[kezzer2]

Passed my test in one of these....cracking car...!

[madammao]

interesting analysis.

great gag

[muchiosgracias4]

jus wasn't funny

[erchoz]

pura mierda

[BounceDK2]

Awesome show =)

[tezkingkong]

"A damn good thrashing..."

[wdfowty]

john cleese = legend. im in the mood for some flying circus now lol

[olieman100]

funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheLkhibra]

verry nice

[wrrrqqqq]

Fawlty Towers the best comedy :)

[NorwegicusOnAstick]

Brilliant man.

[deliveryguyrx]

WTF!!

[OnlyOneGamer]

I have all the episodes i love it

[CardClashersHub]

So do I!

[English4MamaLouisa]

Such a funny actor and comedian. Nobody like him :)

[Hammad2686]

pakistan

[adventure002006]

Loved Fawlty Towers, loved John Cleese

in it. John Cleese has got to be the funniest man alive. Hope to see more of John Cleese. The problem most stars have with him is he is a scene stealer. He is so tall, charasmatic and funny that he takes over any scene he is in.

[radamesization]

Pare abuso de carro! Este filme é um exemplo flagrante de abuso dos carros de sofrer na mão de seus direitos humanos

[AcePilot101]

Stop car abuse!

This film is a blatant example of the abuse cars endure at the hand of their human "owners". I believe that cars should have the same rights as people, to vote and marry the car of their choice.

[99gsx4g63]

He never mentioned how it wasn't raining when they started filming and they ran out of time so had to film this after it had rained.

If you watch it, when the truck is blocking his way, it's dry. Then in this scene it's wet. Personally I think it's funnier as the water flying off the branch is GREAT!

[mosquewatcher]

Just don't talk about the war ! :)

[hattrickster33]

i'v completely forgotten about it haha

[XedAlatir]

"I'm gonna give you a damn good trashing!"

Epic!

[parkerum]

they said it was fake at voyspace

[frostymintofdeath]

Best episode, EVER D':

[alsem2]

yeah, very technically :P

[IAmRodyle]

such a great show

[bernardthunder]

The car seems unperturbed through out the ordeal.

[Moo8998]

This show is great. I have em all of DVD!

[themaritimeman]

Ditto! :)

[v1nnie0012]

ermmm... 15 secs advertisement? No thanks!!

[wblstudios]

Fawlty Towers is so funny, I forgave John Cleese for walking out of Season Four of Monty Python.

[Sm1vvy]

I talk to my computer like that XD

[InfinityW4rd]

lol lol hahaha

[DeStoin]

I find it hilarious :)

[cirkusarena]

What you call good comedy depends on personal taste. For all the young Americans calling this "Sucky British Comedy..", remember this was made 30 years ago. If you guys think the current crop of US comedy films are funny, then great- I really don't see comedic value in swallowing pee, sperm, watching people having diarrhoea, puking then frying it and swallowing it. Mind you, I'm not a 9 year old American kid.

[sanfuka]

humor in british comedy????  this is RUBBISH! where the FUCK is humor in british comedy?????

[hiddenpathfilms]

do you need to lie down and have a nap???

[bangfarang]

Ah, and here's more evidence for the decline in the West's ability to understand what's funny, hence very likely a decline in ability to simply UNDERSTAND. I'm guessing that sanfuka simply doesn't understand life.

[sanfuka]

as italian, my italian knowledge about "culture" in general, allow me  to say that "this kind of humor is "not humor"...

It's a matter of fact that the brithis comedy is understood only in britian...

I should tell you that C3PO says hello

[roterendeinlaatschij]

Im not British, and i think its hilarious.

[sanfuka]

to bangfarang

sorry

[bangfarang]

You are being polite enough to humble me, and you are so notified. But I do regret the general decline of the West.

[XxnEr0xXxMaNexX]

Fawlty Towers sux it's a sucky show for sucky english ppl who suck

[bangfarang]

Readers, if you want evidence for the decline of Western civilization, don't overlook XxnEr0xXxMaNexX's contribution here.

I should tell you that C3PO says hello.

[bangfarang]

Off stage, XxnEr0xXxMaNexX has written an obscenity to me that makes me believe he is probably an American who just doesn't understand life. (I'm an American, myself, but I'm pleased to say I never did fit in at home and now live on an Asian mountainside.)

[dimmube]

the best show from cleese

[pete45764576]

fawlty towers is fantastic but this scene is EXTREMELY over rated. there are heaps of scenes that shit all over this.

[kuifeend23]

to

javagq37. well you opinon is funny!

[javagq37]

i still can't find humor in british comedy!!

[ronaldcasio]

agreeeeeeeeeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nunorobin]

[Happyanand69]

javagq37; I think you need to get used to it.

[beetlejuice150]

I love it!!!

[ksaloverksa]

[zoomckng]

i think clarkson got the idea from this show hehe

[gutter158]

I have never in my life had so much fun as with this gang of commedians on tv.

Why,in gods name ,doese'nt politicians have that same kind of humour?

[MikeMarino]

ah, John Cleese :)

[culwin]

Also funny because the car is on the sidewalk.

[MrVold92]

lol

[Maritimer2009]

I can remember when I saw this for the first time (yes, I am a life-long addict of Fawlty Towers), I fell of the chair laughing! It was just so absurd! But, you know, I have wanted to flog the car many, many times!

[GoldCars666]

were can i find that full video of that car?

[Brashne01]

Rofl?

[maybeidontexist]

Haha soooo funny. John Cleese really is an great actor!

[myhuxpo]

Hahahaha.. Couldn't stop laughing.. Oh dear lord...!!!!

[denis1110]

When I was younger (i.e 5 or 6) my parents would watch this and I hated it, now that I'm older (17) I love Fawlty Towers

[cne08]

You have to love British comedy.

[miyerva]

Yaloarregle com

McGiver style madness for fun

[zilbra1]

[mojoboy1984]

What live ? only clips ?

[petaite]

[RunicznyBejzbol]

I am the only one that didn't find this funny?

[AngstFisch]

Rocket science.

[teton99]

One of the best scenes very in the show!

[stuka173]

hi mary mmmmmmmmmmmmm

[bozirob]

the great thing about this show is that you can watch it over and over and over again and every episode is class
