IMO, Fawlty Towers was the funniest TV series written in the English language. But it was Cleese’s character flaws that limited it to only 12 episodes.
Washed up Comedian who spent his Youth being edgy irreverent and insulting. Now is spending his twilight years wondering where the society and world he grew up in. And that he so gleefully mocked went. Many such cases.
If he was 40-50 years younger. He’d likely be a shoe-in for being one of the modern plethora of annoying Podcasters and Livestreamers whose sole personality traits are being dark, edgy, and contrarian but also breakdown and cry after getting even the slightest bit of pushback or disagreement
Saw him perform back in 2019, North of Chicago. He went on a lengthy comedy rant totally bashing DJT, late in the show.
Audience reaction was about 20% laughing and clapping, and the other 80% of us responded with resounding boos, and total disdain for him the rest of the show.
I told my wife, let's get outta here, but she wasn't as awake at that point, and said she wanted to stay. A handful did get up and leave. I'm glad we stayed, because the rest of the show (~20 min) was quite awkward for him. Very little laughter, heckles, and it really tripped him up.
Clearly he is retarded.
Like basically every Brit I’ve ever met
I'd take offense, but you've not actually met me :)
There are exceptions, just not as many as I'd like. My country is fucked, you guys still have a fighting chance.
Ditto.
Cleese is in his mid 80s and had his prime about 50 years ago. He has long lost his significance.
Yeah kinda sad. I still enjoy watching some clips but the guy himself has proven to be nothing.

Yeah, he probably stumbled and fell the right side of many things in the past than carefully found his way
His wife cleaned him out in the divorce and it affected him badly
Cleese's divorce broke his mind, he became a very twisted bitter old man unfortunately.
Shame. I had hopes for Cleese...
Me too.

Glad to hear this. Also, looks like he has not learnt anything.
Cleese... like cheese...cheesedick...
This man is LITERALLY a clown.
No, seriously... He's just a jester who earns his bread entertaining.
Not doing such a hot job lately are ya?
None of these clowns are...
Trump is half jewish, It will be hard to find a prez that does less ham.
Ham? I am hungry now.
Did someone say BACON!?! 🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓
Every single tranny-degenerate where I live is team watermelon. What are YOUR "pronouns"?
Its just a joke. jeez. Cleese misspelled Harm to ham on X. So since Trump's dad is Jewish, he eats less ham.
Cleese proved himself a cunt during covid.
John Cheese has to check he self for dementia
