Now, he would be cancelled and shamed. He was viciously attacked for stating the obvious that London was not more the London he had known. That being said, he was/is the greatest of alll
@@jphalsberghe1 But he chickened out by denying what he had obviously meant, that it was no longer White, and thus no longer English, even though he was too old for anyone to cancel him.
@@nstix2009xitsn Did he? Every one knew that he meant that the London he knew as a child was white, and now it is ''coloured'' but ssstttt don not speak out the words ''great replacement'' what that is exactly whats going on till the powder kegs will explode. You ask me when? Soon!
This is how humour should be. It’s not offensive. Johns in role. Great comedy when it was all allowed. Kudos to Tina, she is fantastic all round. Wonderful. Glad I clicked on this
that's the problem for people who are renowed as comedians. People always expect them to be funny, or say something amusing. Had John simply taken to the stage and announced Tina Turner, I dare say many people would be asking what was so funny about that????
@@Otacatapetl "Never mind that , my man . It's about this 'ear pa.............. " I love that intro . Sadly , most people I say that to have no idea that it's from the 'p*rr*t ' sketch .
Read John's (most excellent) autobio recently. It would appear that he eventually got over his adolescent uncertainty around members of the opposite sex.
Well, I don't know. He couldn't stay married very long. I know one of his wives flirted with other men, but she was the only one I met. They are divorced now too. His autobiography omitted all of his romantic life after his first love. He could have been unsuccessfully trying to fill that hole in his soul from then on.
AS you couldn't fit the song in I'm glad I saw her and her husband at the Flamingo club just off Shaftsbury Ave, London back in the 1960s. I have heard they broke up the duo career some time later.
This is one of the rare cases of the intro outdoing the performer. John must have really liked her to come up with such as Cleesian essay. If there is ever a nobel prize awarded for sarcasm, Cleese will be the emeritus laureate.
I'd say that on the contrary it was very correct. But well written and performed and therefore funnier than most incorrect jokes where the incorrectness sometimes has to make up for the flaws elsewhere.
It´s a pity that those wonderful announcments won´t be broadcast in times of "wokeness" - by the way: We already had "wokeness" in Germany between 1931 an 1936 - the wonderful "Hitler youth" and their older companions, the "SA", marched through the "Brandenburger Tor" while shouting "Germany awake!" - I´m fed up with those "wokenessers"... ;-)
