As an amputee, I love telling people, "It's just a flesh wound."

Nobody expects the British Coronation.

I watched the coronation with my husband. We laughed until we cried and agreed that it was exactly like a Monty Python sketch. I'm very pleased that John Cleese agrees.

[wtk]

Cleese has a point. What's more Monty Python than when apparently the Grim Reaper photobombed the coronation? lol

I'm American and I watched this thing and at some point, after taking in all the formal pageantry, pomp and circumstance, I said to my cat, "no wonder Britain does such brilliant satire"

It's when you realize that everything you see and most everything you do is a Monty Python sketch that it finally makes sense.

John is spot on. Humans are extraordinarily, magnificently, sublimely silly.

The more important we believe ourselves to be, the more utterly ridiculous we become.

To cope with the ridiculous John Cleese gave me the sense of humour I needed to survive the madness of life.
Thank you Mr Cleese .
I do silly walks often. ❤

You know you're a Monty Python fan when you saw the golden orb during the coronation and immediately thought of "The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch".

I couldn't stop laughing too. Charles looked like he was cleaning out his garage and kept getting distracted by all the stuff he found.

"I want to be called Loretta"
How prophetic was

[noelward]

Cleese is a national treasure. Humour as it was once allowed.

Always good to hear John Cleese reminisce. We're so lucky we still have him. Thanks, GBNews for the wonderful interview!

Fawlty Towers was the best even 48 years later🤣

[CellBlockCats]

He's not the only one who immediately recognized the similarity of the coronation to Monty Python!

[johnrogers]

Our world reached a point where it could no longer laugh at a comedy show. So it became one.

10:09 “People at the top have almost no idea of what they’re doing … “
A perfect description of the current world situation.

Cleese is right. Coronation was actually very funny & so so out of date.Maybe people need all this theatrics.

[christinawatkinsyoutube]

there's something brilliant about watching John Cleese laugh

I know a man who was born without arms and legs. He dressed up as the knight in that scene for Halloween a few years ago.. Hysterical!
