John Cleese Offered To Kill His Mom To Cheer Her Up | CONAN on TBS

I love this guy, i also really like that he keeps looking back to Andy during conversation to not be rude. Some guests totally ignore him...

[huldu]

Wow she was born 1899 and died 2000. That's so impressive.

[zacspearman]

Didn't expect to be cheered and moved as much in one anecdote.

[adils]

I love how much Andy enjoyed the first joke.

[Sir.JohnHawkins]

you dont hear Andy laugh that hard too often...

[fidorover]

Still hilarious at 76. We should all be so lucky.

[atomiswave]

I don't think i ever heard Conan and Andy laugh that hard. Cleese is a mastermind.

[ByTheGram]

his old british lady voice is hilarious!

[Kaiser]

I've never seen Conan genuinely laugh so much.

[Shankovich]

Full interview please, John Cleese is one of a kind, I love this guy!

[gst]

Only John Cleese could make his mother's 50 year bout of depression absolutely hilarious. And the great thing is, it sounds like she would've loved this bit.

[MentyEsquire]

Look, I'm British, there are great comedians from here, a lot, no doubt but also plenty from the States. It's not because Cleese is British that he's this good. He's just one of the best of all time. We're all crap compared to him no matter where you are from. 76 and absolutely killing it like this! LEGEND.

[Psyberologist]

Once in a while I come back to this video. It's easily one of the greatest comedy bit ever. John Cleese is a treasure.

[hanifroyani]

I've never seen Andy laugh so much... John Cleese is an international treasure.

[zbr]

Seeing as his mum lived to be 101, that's a hell of an achievement - and John needs to inherit his mother's luck, because we NEED this man for as long as possible!

[jvaish]

Cleese has grown his own armrest, which is actually pretty funny. He's earned it.

[primeevil]

You should have titled this, "John Cleese offers to help his mom" instead of ruining the punch line!

[kikkanorway]

John Cleese have never failed to make me laugh!

[Nuhbuddys]

I took care of my grandmother, who had severe dementia. Was absolutely heartbreaking, I loved her so much.
She also had a really dark sense of humor.
We both did.

She asked me to have mercy and take her life so she wouldn't have to suffer anymore.
I said, "Aww... Okay."
And proceeded to lower a pillow over her face, while she looked on in terror.
I left it there for a second or two, lifted it off and gave her a big stupid grin, and we both cackled and hooted for about 2 minutes straight.

That laugh has kept me alive.

I miss you grandma, we'll be together again.

"maybe some day I will." I am so using that line
