John Cleese in hysterics over King Charles’s Coronation - ‘It was a Monty Python sketch!’ 

HAHAHAHAHAH! U Rock :D

Iconic quote. Obviously, you have a great sense of humor.

Haha awesome!

@@wefiaoiuoijawecnjwofuwnaox It is just a flesh wound.

Strange coming from John Cheese

Was it a throne ... or a ... COMFY CHAIR!!!!!

Cat was like "Wanker"

And the cat said ... ?

Then again, Americans talk to cats. Some satirist is really missing the boat.

Back in 2000, I and a bunch of friends visited France. We got to see the Bayeux Tapestry. There is a panel depicting the crossing of the English Channel by the Norman troops where the horses are getting off the boat.. (you can actually see this in the Wiki entry for the tapestry).. the horses are smiling apparently happy to be getting off the boat.. my buddy seeing that in real life commented "that's where Monty Python comes from" ... the English depicting the horses smiling..

​@@garyK.45ACP I don't think so, if that were true they [ the satirist ] would have surfaced back in the 70's when, Mrs. Slocum had so many stories of her conversations with her cat and there was so many things she said to her " puzzy " as she always called her cat.

I can just imagine "Mr. Death" turning up at the coronation dinner and the King reprising Graham Chapman's role. Then a dodgy salmon mousse sees them all off.

That wasn't the Grim Reaper, it was one of Hell's Grannies.

"It's one of the little people from the village."

The reaper at the coronation was just "grim" because of the bad weather, which is hardly surprising

@@halfbakedproductions7887 But I didn’t gave the salmon.

Monty Python is the British equivalent of zen. At least that’s what my cats tell me..

I ran the London Marathon and I felt like I was in "The Race for the Incontinent". We started out in Greenwich Park and heading down the hill. All these people were going in and out of the bushes. It was perfect🤗

I was thinking, “He must be a King. He hasn’t got $&:! all over him”

😂😂😂😂 same!! I turned to my wife and exclaimed, "Look! The Holy Hand Grenade!!!" We both burst out laughing!!

I am glad I am not the only one who spotted that lol.

Couldn’t agree more.

I did wonder "Is he being sarcastic here?"

I agree. The man should not be in the job....... and I say job because he certainly doesn't come across as having a vocation.

"it's just a flesh wound!"

I have epilepsy. My sister read a news report in a paper about a woman who chomped her husband’s doodle because she had a seizure whilst her mouth was….occupied. The husband used a frying pan to hit his wife in a desperate attempt to get her gnashers from around his twig. My sister sent my husband a frying pan in case it happened to him. Lol. You have to laugh at the things that you can’t change. Laughter is what keeps one from being a victim to their disabilities. Of course, people want to be laughed with, not at. But, I’ve heard epilepsy jokes that crack me up. 😂❤

That is abseloutely fantastic and hysterical, that's what I call a great sense of humour

@@pommiebears Such a funny story. That has made my day.

We never missed an episode! The lot of us stopped bickering whenever Monty Python came on!

John was definitely in a league of his own. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT

Yeah but that “yes” only got them so far until the BBC put them in the “bin” never to be heard from again, until Ron Devillier at PBS stumbled upon them and brought them to the US and that’s when they really became famous/known. Ron owned the distribution rights until his recent retirement. He’s a super funny man with a good eye for comedy. I’ve known him all my life.

“as well”? I would say “especially”

The English/British at their best have a certain style. I get the impression that americans, especially american TV, don't understand that style, and aren't able to remake it or make something on the same level. Whether it's The Monty Python Show, Fawlty Towers, Doctor Who, The Avengers or Blakes 7, that's why a remake is going to have me down on my knees in no time flat, screaming "Oh no, no, no! Not that!!!" Lord have mercy on us all.

@CG022, rubbish.

What's wrong with the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Youre a Tory?

Me too. His definition of a dinasaor, thin at one end, fat in the middle and thin again at the other. Dead Parrot. Is this the 5 minute argument or the full half hour? And my favourite - I wasn't execting the Spanish Inquisition.

The fish dance at Teddington Lock was my favourite. I love ‘what have Romans ever done for us’. The giggly centurion in the Biggus Dickus skit (Lance Percival) was my dad’s friend.

❤😂❤😅❤😊

Not funny at all. A needless tragedy.

Well said. Sad... :) But well said.

We certainly have become a modern Tragedy. 😢

It's getting very hard to be ridiculous anymore

Now, yes; but always has been.

Well, the inherently privileged 1% often have no life experience beyond always being in charge and always being right, so the only thing they’re really very good at is self confidence and telling everyone else why they’re not. At the moment the most visible example of that in action, in this country anyway, seems to be the Post Office.

The theme of humanity.

I support the monarchy, but I also enjoyed hearing John Cleese's views on the coronation.

Same here! And it's a damn shame how many Americans just don't get British humor.

Same for me👍 I grew up watching shows like, 'Are You Being Served,' etc.❤ (I am from Indiana.)

I love watching British TV

Another British Comedy Show that I love so much and wish I could see reruns here in the states but, Absolutely Fabulous aka Ab Fab 😂😂😂 I always thought it was a riot Jennifer Saunders is so funny to me. Oh and, I have to mention another one that I would watch with my Dad when I was a kid was Blackadder with Rowan Atkinson aka Mr. Bean 😅😂 I just ❤ British Comedy.

No he isn’t.

Don't watch then

No he isn’t.

"Doctor for the Soul"--YES!!!!💖

Are soul?

I just never understood much of what went on.

and Prince Charles was the head buffoon!

The pomposity was absolutely comical! King Charles, (not the dog, but the other one) was more in drag than RuPaul.

To which most English have a huge blind spot, cultivated by that same Estiblishment.

I knew concert was but never watched coronation, would of Harry or William was as should of been their day as they are liked way more

Except when you look at your clothes only 30 years ago you'd be embarrassed too, no doubt dodgy hair styles too, but those things the King wears have been worn for 100s of years. So it is normal in the greater scheme of things.

It's called ''ACTING'', dear boy.

Great sketch. I love that one.

@@ljo642 Yes, but the significant point is that they also wrote the sketch.

I just say "Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern ..."🤣🤣🤣

Exactly and now we have to put up with comedy crap from the likes of Lee Mack and Jimmy Carr

There were some thing I just never understood. Although Fawllty Towers is the funniest thing to ever had appeared on TV anywhere!!!

Well ... I very much doubt if 'the entire Monty Python cas' love John Cleese. He's turned into a creepy right-wing whiner ...the Tory Party on stilts, which is not where the rest of the crew, who are still with us, belong.

Comedy classics. Do you remember the Sony adverts he made. As a student I worked for Sainsbury and he made the training videos and was also the hilarious voice on the GPS

Personally I prefer the Holy Grail and Life of Brian...he has so much great work.

I love the scene where Basil gets out of his car when it won't start and begins thrashing it with a tree branch! Also the episode where Germans are staying at the hotel is a classic. "Whatever you do don't mention the war to our guests," Basil tells his staff. Then the first time he is taking their order "shame about the war, wasn't it?" So funny!

​​​@@markcampbell1466 my son is always laughing like crazy on that car and branch part. Personally I love this part when Basil is introduced to the important guest's short wife and he says "oh don't get up" this is so embarassing 🙃

No you won’t.

@@ArmyJamesdirtbag loser.

Same here 😂😂😂😂😂

Exactly! 😅😅😅😅😅

Taking Basil out of Fawlty Towers is like taking the alcohol out of a pint of beer.

Who makes these ridiculous decisions? That made me think of the Huckleberry Finn play that used to be produced in Hannibal, MO during the summer tourist season. The character Jim was left out. Duh???????

Americans with good taste would watch the British version anyway. Good humor is universal.

To me, one of the best things is that the episode which features the 'Don't mention the war.' scene with the German guests is the most popular episode in Germany. That fact alone speaks volumes about the quality of the humour.

It's FAWLTY with a W, not a U. Your observation skills are faulty. Well his name was Basil Fawlty and it was named after him. So..........

Yeah where is the crazy humour these days?

Favourite sketch is the fish dance. It is completely and utterly stupid but it gets me every time.

My gawd, the bit with Mr. Creosote in the restaurant was priceless. "It's only just a tiny wafer".

There are too many sketches to pick one favorite, but I would include the dead parrot and cannibal undertakers

Just reading the comments is making me laugh! God i miss good comedy. When are you going to teach us about pointed sticks?

Why did you laugh? Come on dude! Cleese is correct it's the mega rich (55 billion) Muppet Show

You do understand the joke here isn't about transgenderism don't you Stevey?

That is such a Monty Python comment "Why does he look like a pimp?

You have no reason to be embarrassed because someone else was flippantly dismissive of another culture's traditions.

@@coreymulvey6141 If it were me, it would be embarrassment because it looked like a bit of a joke to outsiders. Even though I'm Australian and technically a subject of king Charles, I didn't vote for him, and I didn't watch the Sorting Hat Day celebratiomns

@@oakfat5178 that is the dismissive attitude I’m talking about. Things looking like a joke to outsiders is textbook ethnocentrism. There are plenty of traditional celebrations around the world that look absurd to outsiders, that is no reason to belittle them. What you’re doing is no different than early explorers laughing at the religious celebrations of the indigenous people they met: “look how silly these people are.”

@@coreymulvey6141 Yes the circumstances of Australia's indigenous people and UK's royal family have a good deal in common (ok the mean one is each of them owned Australia for part of the last 60,000 years. Don't get me wrong - I'm 1/4 German myself, so I feel a bond of brotherhood with my King. I don't just mock UK royals, although they put more effort into earning it than I thought humanly possible. I gleefully mock NSW politicians, run by people on both sides of politics, who are what you'd imagine if AI had been upgrading convict criminality for 200 years. US Democrats - Like Tammany Hall's became a registered church under US tax law. Would I mock a ceremony that wasn't shoved down my eyeballs and earholes 24/6 like I gave a toss? Not if I had to go to the trouble of seeking it out. Would I mock a ceremony that wasn't Full of arrogant, overblown, Anglican self-importance? It depends if there were anything else equally asinine to mock about it. Once my ostentatious consumption sister wined that the jacuzzi in the exec suite of their hotel had been ripping off threads of gold from her gold lame bikini. Writing the script and starring in her own comedy sketch, I went to town on that one. She's an Anglican too so maybe there's something in the Holy water that inclines one toward comedic couture.

Yeah absolutely. I love the guy, he's got a hilarious sense of humor! Monthy Python, Fawlty Towers, and their films were very popular here in Holland in the '70/80s and after, everybody loved them..! (the ones who could handle it, cause Holland still had a lot of strict Christians) And thank God we had VPRO tv on sunday, they were very controversial and left wing. Here on YT you can still watch some great music, human interest docs, or humor from VPRO. Like 'Stranger In A Strange Land' with Nick Cave and bandmembers in Berlin in '87 where they lived at the time. Or VPRO's 'Onrust' which was about fresh music scenes from that period, enz. ☮💥
