John Cleese | "I'm not allowed to make jokes tonight" | SVT/NRK/Skavlan 

same what he did inn falwty towers, oh you are german, i thought there was something wrong with you

The original pothead, literally.

Word.

Ponte Ryuurui you meant- like a pool of bats piss....

It's an arcane device used by the ancient Babylonians, I think. It works by constantly making it shorter. It gets shorter while you write, until it won't work any more. Then, paradoxically, you have to put it in a different device, a shortening-it-even-further device, which makes it work again. Sometimes if you write especially vigorously, it will get much shorter instantly, and you have to shorten it even *more* with the shortening-it-even-further device, which may well lead you to writing with a very short stump between your fingers. Hence, you mustn't *really* want to write too much.

@@Yngvarfo My my what a fascinating find! I wonder if they knew how tedious it was or if they thought it was what needed to be done to write?

Assuming that it wasn't broadcast to TV or cinema for any reason, I get a feeling that any portable cameras available in the 1950s wouldn't be common place enough in the general public to guarentee anyone was there filming it.

@@MrSceneNine You're right, thank you.

@@publiusovidiusnaso86 I understand your intrigue though. It would be great to see his first role.

@@MrSceneNine Absolutely! Furthermore I consider Faust as one of the best books ever written.

the talk show is hosted by a Norwegian

So all the dialogue here is Norwegian, the guests are Norwegian and so on?

All the dialogue is Norwegian yes:) but the show is produced and located in Sweden Stockholm

Interesting. What about the guests, the other part of that question - there are a lot of scandinavian names not known to us in Britain and elsewhere. Whereabouts in the region are they from?

Ah yeah. no, the guests can be from any place in Skandinavia(norway,sweden, and Danmark) we all pretty much understand each other, with special guest from around the world. And the two other people there I think are Norwegian

They dont need a language.

I think there was a hunt of a suspected russian submarine in swedish waters around the time when this was recorded.

@@Dannewee No way! Makes a lot of sense now. Thanks for the reply.

Hmm. So basically we should blame John Clesse for climate change?

Apparently there were no train tickets available - peculiar, but there you have it.

Yes he is

Alexander Toft Karlsson No shit, lol. Just sitting there laughing by himself, pretending that he is actually understanding something. I actually feel a bit awkward for him. You can just tell by the looks of his eyes that he has no god damn clue whats going on

+Alexander Toft Karlsson A bit he is way out of his league here

You are not sure if he indeed does not understand nor if he does. Yes, logically, some things he misses, but the good thing about comedy, is that you laugh, because other people laugh as well. Positivity has that affect on people and it's nothing to be ashamed of.

”Eeehehehee”

It is getting better. Trump left a big steaming mess, but as usual we Libs will clean up after...

@@Mozart1220 You can’t seriously believe that? The rest of the world would be laughing at you, if we weren’t worried sick about where this was heading.

i thought the same!! its JOHN CLEESE, man!!

People say this about everything, it's just their own lack of control of their imagination. John Cleese is doing fine because he feels well enough.

I'm British and I have no idea what you're on about. This is great, not everything needs to be pre-scripted by publicists.

LuneyTune72 That's exactly what I thought when I first watched this show. I thought the interviewer is terrible, he seems like he's stuttering when he talks and how the guests look uncomfortable but as I watched more episodes, I actually noticed how engaged he is when talking w his guests. He asks sensible questions unlike the American chat shows full of fake laughs and pointless clapping after every sentence.

Omg I disagree - big time! I love this show. It’s very natural and laid back. Everyone was laughing- what are you on about?
