Love this guy. He gave a two hour question and answer talk at Cornell, where he is an associate professor, and was wonderfully witty and generous with his time and hilarious remarks.
Cornell Alum here. I was there, and he was amazingly engaging and personable. This is one celebrity who'll never be consumed by his own celebrity. He's far too intelligent, insightful, and self aware. ✌️
It's so sad that everyone outside of the U.S. is looking at us like we're lunatics, and so many people inside the U.S. can't see we have a problem. I want to be proud of my country, I really do... It's just easier to tell people I'm Canadian.
😂😂 *"Its just easier to tell people I'm Canadian"* Thats hilarious. Also, its like a cult. When your in the cult you can't tell its a cult, no matter how much people outside the cult, tell you "your in a cult."
I was at that show in Thousand Oaks CA the day after the election and he is 100% correct. The audience was numbed by the events of the previous day and we were desperate for a good laugh...and John and Eric provided it perfectly. Nobody I would have loved to spend the opening days of the apocalypse with more than those two.
@Ross Miller. People will be turning to laughter in the intervening 4 years to cope. With any luck, he won't last that long. The U.S. dispatched Korean armada heading in the opposite direction will be a recurring thorn for POTUS, if not an indicator of what else is to come.
The average Trump supporter has a memory span of about a week. Something major just before the next election will have to happen before Trump is ousted.
I will always find it amusing how people will completely throw out their dignity, integrity, and soon to be freedom to defend a spray tanned TV personality they have never met.
What freedoms were removed in 2016-2020 that were reinstated in 2021-2024? Is America better now or where it was in 2019? Don't know about you, but I'd rather have Mean Tweets.
"My wife didn't initially want to, but she also moved to Jamaica with me" "Did you make her?" "No, J-A-M-A-I-C-A. We also brought the Accord. It came on a ship."
Remember when Joetato completely forgot where he was standing or what he was supposed to say? That's every single day of his presidency. You leftists ate so much crow 😂😂
@@kidzbop38isstraightfire92 Remember when DT couldn't remember whether he had invasion plans or golf course plans? Or did he kinda magically transform them with his mind ... without actually telling the folk who might just need to know about such things? 🤔
Well, Trump continues to give high praise to our enemies while alienating our allies, plus he straight up said that he's surprised that being President is hard work. I hardly shape my opinions on what celebrities think, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.
what allies are you talking about ? which allies did he alienate ? Obama was the one that completely failed on foreign policy ,and he gave our money ,IN CASH to Iran ,Which is illegal ,by the way ,do you even know at all what you talking about or are you just repeating
John Bollinger You're kidding, right? Mexico & Canada are just the latest on the list of alienated allies. Gallup polls show Obama's approval rating on foreign affairs at 50% while Trump is still in the negative numbers. Do you believe every single rumor that comes down the pike & refuse to substantiate any of your mule headed opinions?
The woman he mentions at the end is an example that people don't necessarily agree with everything Trump says, they project onto him the qualities they want him to have, and they weren't voting for him they were voting against what they believe to be a negative situation in the country. And they're completely oblivious to the harm that's being done.
One sane individual amongst all these morons. I wonder if John is thrilled with the farce we call Biden? The destruction his pathetic, evil administration, run by Obama, is destroying the world with their WOKE accepting crap? Any one willing to admit he was wrong?
"But these ARE the stupidest people you've ever met" - his delivery of that line is so perfect; he's not angry or even exasperated, he's just reminding us of a relevant fact.
Don Rutts Shouldn't you be watching faux news trumpturd? Instead of being a little triggered greedy fear mongering fascist online. Thank God the majority of Americans can smell your stench 🤧
rick rose, it reminds me (tellingly) of Homer Simpson's classic defence when caught out: "But Marge, I swear to you, I never thought you'd find out!" John Cleese isn't the best person to be delivering this stuff though. Anyone could say the same thing and be assured of approval. It's decades since Cleese was cutting edge or even relevant, and since he achieved the status of 'national treasure' all those years ago I'd say he's been dining out on it ever since. He's far from hilarious here, and O'Leary and Spiteri's hysterics are overdone. It's as though they're just indulging an eccentric old uncle by pretending to find him side-splittingly funny.
Democrats are completely mad. They want to take away every right the founders guaranteed in the Constitution. I refuse to be a slave and that's why I reject the Civil War slave owners known as Democrats. Thank God for Trump.
It's hard to disagree with Cleese when he says "Trump supporters are idiots" just read the comments here "I used to think Cleese was funny until he was rude about Trump" He's either funny or he's not, You might as well say "I thought LeBron was tall until he was rude about Trump"
As a performer, he may have been funny (more in his younger years than later on). But a good performer can still be a douchebag. And I've heard Cleese being called that long before he said anything about Trump supporters.
yea so what? military plans change constantly and everyone says dirty talk in the locker room in America our ladies expect our men to act like, well MEN, let the first one of you that has never spoke an off hand comment hanging out alone with a buddie. Oh and that dumb look your seeing on peoples faces isn't the dull gaze of stupid, its the look of astonishment.
Jay, see, it's not the fact that it's dirty talk that pisses people off, it's the fact that he talks about basically sexually assaulting people, shoving his hands up a woman's pants against their will. Are you saying that what's considered a "man" in the USA is someone who openly endorses sexual assault? 'Cause if that's the case, all I can say is I'm really glad I don't live in the USA.
It's hilarious to hear people who believe there are an infinite amount of genders and men can get pregnant and have periods too call other people stupid. Hahahaha. Comedy gold.
@@tonyhedgewolf Trump is not responsible for the coronavirus, which would have happened no matter who was President. But before that he was doing damn well, and he will do damn well again once the coronavirus dies down.
I will shed many a tear when The Honorable Mr. Cleese passes. One of the funniest gents to ever grace a stage, and doing so with typical British reserve.
@@bigverybadtom im cleeses age almost. I often make nonsensical jokes which r not such to my peers bc we have gained wisdom with age. We r happy when those under 50 dont get our point....thats the point. When we laugh like that we r not senile at all...just laughing at the absurdity of how younger ppl think bc they dont have that aging wisdom yet. Much as we did not yrs ago. We r also ecstatic mostly bc we now dont give a shit what ppl think, we r secure in our wrinkled bods and we care not if we fart in public....ahhhhh the freedoms in aging. We laugh mostly bc we know u will b where we r someday and look back and say man was i stupid. We dont give a shit and THAT is not senility. Lighten up and age with grace. Your heart will thank u.
@@juliecrane9647 Senile or not, Cleese isn't what he used to be. Wonder if he can still pull off the silly walks like he did in his Monty Python years?
John Cleese is an OPPORTUNIST and will say ANYTHING to get a laugh. He actually loves the mission President Trump started but if he says this, he won't have enough money to pay his many alimony checks.
The 3K+ dislikes on this video will be from Trump supporters but few of them (Trump supporters) are intelligent enough to understand Monty Python humour anyway so it's no great loss to Mr Cleese.
We Trump supporters are intelligent enough to know a great President when we have one, and to know some washed-up old comedian doesn't have a clue as to what is going on.
@@bigverybadtom but are you people smart enough to question why your president paid $750 in US tax while taking $17million out of his secret Chinese bank account?
@@bigverybadtom - he hasn't denied it. We also have Trump asking the Chinese for help in the election. There's iterally nothing he can say or do that would ever make you question him. That's not "intelligence" - that's blind loyalty.
@@fablewalls There are so many things Trump was accused of saying or doing that he has not said or done that proved to be false that his critics have lost all their credibility. You ever heard the story of the boy who cried "wolf"?
The thing I hear from a lot of Trump supporters is “well he is still better than Clinton/Obama” and then they rattle off a load of statistics that aren’t either aren’t try or completely misleading and then they stick their fingers in their ears and say ‘lalalala’ when you make a counter argument.
So how do you like me now? A few months later down the road when the evidence of the Clintons and the Democrats conspiring with Russia against our PRESIDENT is so hard to ignore? Clearly, no matter how good or bad Trump is, he's orders of magnitude better than Hilldog or Bernie would have ever been.
@@ripitvapars Because Trump is the best President of the past 50 year's, Dumbass!! Now America has dementia man as President, Trump's brilliance will be revealed. Dementia man bad!!! You stupid!!
@Nathan Green thats funny, slavery is still happening, gay people punished by death, human trafficking you know our country sucks, like big time, but lets be real, our world fucking sucks.
Unfortunately Americans' opinions are about the same. He still enjoys 40% approval. It is mind boggling. If I looked over my should to find Rod Serling I would not be surprised.
He's probably changed it since they removed an episode of Fawlty towers because it is "racist". Trump now doesn't seem so crazy. Thank fuck for the criminal stupidity of BLM. VOTE TRUMP EVERYBODY!!🇺🇸🇺🇸😁👍😁🇺🇸😁👍
"He never would have said that if he knew he was being recorded" That argument is so stupid. So that suddenly makes it okay? Doesnt the thought of him thinking he can do what he wants with women creep people out?
Adrian Martinelli so you got offended by the fact that someone recorded him and you didnt get offended by what he said during the recording? Recorded or not, what he said is disgusting considering that he is married with kids
[That argument is so stupid.] Not at all. Many people say things "off the record". Who actually said it first? [Doesnt the thought of him thinking he can do what he wants with women creep people out?] Did you hear the whole exchange? You should. Listen to what Trump says he actual does* v. the locker room bravado talk egged on by the reporter secretly recording him. * Trump thought he knew the female reporter waiting for them. He tried to date her years earlier. How did he woo her years ago? Did he just grab her in the crotch? How did Trump treat her when he got off the bus?
@@brass427 Did you have a point to make? Cleese repeats the false narrative as told by MSM. You need to listen to the ACTUAL audio of the exchange between Trump and the young reporter with whom Trump thought he was having a friendly locker room chat.
@@sieekakhan6761 Everyone should be highly offended that a reporter would secretly record a conversation that was clearly off the record. [what he said is disgusting considering that he is married with kids] Do you even know what he actually said? Did he say he does (or did) it or simply that he could? What exactly is disgusting about a billionaire playboy who claims there are women who would let him do anything to them? Do YOU not think this is a TRUE statement?
It's easy to say that about Trump supporters, but it pays the think about the alternative(s) to him. Anyone who is all out for one side or the other is pretty damn stupid.
@@mangemoi1163 Biden is by no means a good president or politician, but at least people can give him directions and/or tell him when to shut up and sit down.
I'd vote for Mr. Cleese for ANY office. Perhaps he'd like to take over here in the USA. Laughter is the best medicine, and surely he would cure our country of its current bad mood. ( Plus he's very smart. And he's got words... the BEST words. )
Phoenixesper1 That's funnier than anything he said. It's been years since he was amusing. He's become a pompous grouch with opinions nobody cares to hear.
Sandy Robertson - Speak for yourself. John Cleese is a legend. Could listen to him all day. Just as funny now as he was with Python, Fawlty Towers etc. Always will be. Are you a Trump supporter by any chance? The real question is, would you admit to being a Trump supporter?
@@michaelofsc6021 Only an idiot............ Wouldn't know where his fucking, ships are! Remember, HE TOLD THEM, THEY WERE ON THEIR WAY, when they weren't but he thought they were!
bigverybadverystupidtom is innoculated against Trump's stupidity by a reflexive assumption that he never said any of the stupid things he is claimed to have said by the "fake news". "Tom"s notion of "fairy stories", like Trump's, is blatant circular logic: any media outlet which fails to portray everything Trump does with the overweening pride of a new parent whose child has just made it to the potty, for the first time, in time, is labelled "fake news". The claim that an armada was steaming towards North Korea was made by Trump to the Fox Business Network, as this report in Fox News attests: www.foxnews.com/world/powerful-uss-carl-vinson-steams-toward-north-korea Even Trump had not (at that time) turned on Fox News, and he did not issue a retraction of that story. Why would he: he thought it was the truth. By the time he realised it was not, it was too late. Like the famous "tortoises all the way down", the stupid in Cult Trump, although it starts from the top, is literally bottomless.
It's his acting that is so hilarious, like when he does silly walks with a straight face or emotes like Basil Fawlty. When he speaks he's nothing special.
@@bigverybadtom You are obviously an attention seeker, judging by your repetitious comments. In my opinion John Cleese is still entertaining and well worth listening to. Whereas you are a miserable whinger.
*My goodness, Trump is making us the laughing stock of the world.* _I hope the world understands that Trump doesn't represent most Americans. Hell, he doesn't even represent most voters._
Your Trumper tantrums are actually. Lots of world leaders are far worse than Trump (look at Trudeau). It's you hysterical Trumper tantrum throwing wingnuts buying all the bullshit CNN shovels in your yawning gobs that are the real laughing stock of the planet. :)
Say, "Does the Pope shit in his hat?" in front of a bunch of Catholics. They will laugh and then get mad all in three seconds. You can identify the closet atheists because they won't stop laughing.
Bet Cleese has said worse. Cleese has sat on his bum for decades and done nothing unlike Trump who although different will go down in history as one of the best presidents America has ever had. Unlike Obama he actually does things and makes a difference.
Fake accounts are cool Anne Shaw. Stfu. He's already turning out to be one of the worst presidents America has ever had. With the approval ratings to show it.
vanhetgoor, even if that is true (he's said plenty of other stupid and self-destructive things even when he knew it was public record), that he didn't know it was being recorded enabled him to say what he really thinks. That this is how he thinks is what's important, here.
Yeah.... with Dementia Joe as president, stumbling around reading off the puppeteers list of notes they prepare for him..... Biden should be impeached by both halls of Congress and removed from office for stranding Americans and Foreign Pro-American operatives in Afghanistan to be systematically sought out and killed by blood thirsty terrorists.
@@tgilldesign Trump lost the election with the help of people like you. But, you do remind me of why I voted for Biden and why I'm glad I did, thanks. Cleese is right Trump supporters are the stupidest people you'll ever meet.
@@bigverybadtom if you want peace, stop attacking democracy and the capitol. If you want prosperity vaxx up, mask up and get the economy going at top production. While your at it back green, sustainable projects because they are the next great thing. Green Revolution!!! That's what will define the near and far future just as the industrial revolution defined the past except this time it must not be done at the expense of the masses for the benefit of the few.
John Cleese one of the smartest people on the planet.Who understands the human condition better?He just uses humor( face it, if we don't laugh we'd be crying all the time)to point out the ridiculous follibles of man.
ANOTHER STUPID OBSERVATION BUT A PERSON WHO DOESN'T REALISE THAY IF HILLARY HAD ONE AMERICA WOULD RAPIDLY BECOME LIKE A HOLLOWED OUT BANANA REPUBLIC HEADED BY THE CROOKED CLINTON CRIME FAMILY. DO YOUR HOMEWORK NUMBNUTS AND STOP LISTENING TO THE LIES OF THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA. WHO DO YOU THINK PAYS THESE PRESSTITUTES DUR WORK IT OUT IT'S NOT HARD.
@@michaelrathbone67 Really not sure if you are serious? Dishonest Don the shill in the White house is a monumental catastrophe. What makes you "the" authority on the subject as to who's worthy where is your underlying reasons to the slanderous accusations on Hillary? Show your work and while your at it explain to us what the Donald has accomplished thus far aside from raiding service members children's schools and daycares and scheduling weird stuff at out of the way golf courses. Realize this; that I think that Hillary is a self enriching piece of work. But I also know that she would have been on an order of magnitudes a million billion times better than Chump. I believe that she is at least intelligent enough to realize the ramifications of her actions. BTW there is a big difference between ONE and won. You moron.
@@dukecity7688 No, Obama did. People hate Trump because he has balls and has stood up for our country. The truth is that you people hate America. So does John Cleese, an arrogant upper-=class twit he once mocked.
No one on this election cycle was any good. It felt like the parties just push people out on stage and said speak and make up shit until we create your persona and of course Trump decided to wing it. And as far as I am concerned with the thing I'v personally heard and seen both sides have no right to judge the other People this year have done some of the most stupid vile vomit inducing and violent cuntish shit I could have even imagined and personally I like to stab. yet we only speak about one side or the other honestly Americans in general this year who decided to march for rights and peace(sparkles/BOOM) all dead that because we forgot the fucking terrorist and then bullets will be latter who gets robber by one of your neighborhood gangsters is anybodies guess. lets not forget the parents who never wake up for the kids stabbing them and also the mother who drowns her two kids because she believes her husband is having an affair in is growing insane . cant tell me all of them are trump voters right?
do ya still think that the russian hackers, ^^^,,,,maybe they did vote for brexit too ? so if ,they did it you would it know or? but bbc maybe is listening cnn ! or maybe rt lol ; ) hehehehehe
Life of Brian my fav movie super super. I loved manger scene with the myrrh. We watched one nite then to xmas eve service at the inlaws church. Minister read that scripture where the 3 wisemen bring gifts. When the minister said myrrh, my husband whispered the word to me but in the voice used in the movie. Myyrrhh . We both began to laugh inwardly til the entire pew was shaking. His mother told us to go to the car. Omg we were in our forties. I watch that great movie every xmas eve and skip church. Then its easier to always look on the bright side of life. Thnx for sharing 😊😊
Most people know him for Monty python but I know him from faulty towers which I grew up with and I still remember about the two much butter on those trays “ no no no Es uno dos tres”
@@foreverpinkf.7603 The show's popularity was mainly because of Cleese's overacting in it. It was amusing, but I thought "Get Smart" was so much wittier and more subversive.
Nancy Mac - Why would you need to listen to this clip a lot?! Seems like Trump is something of an unhealthy preoccupation for you but I suppose if your 'safe space' isn't available and you've left your comfort blanket at your parents' house, you may as well take comfort where you can find it!!
