John Cleese Considers Your Futile Comments - Monty Python

John Cleese carefully considers your futile comments.

Welcome to the official Monty Python YouTube channel. This is the place to find top quality classic Python videos, as well as some special stuff that you'll only find here such as interviews and behind-the-scenes footage from our live shows. All the Pythons including John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones & Graham Chapman can be found here being incredibly silly.

New videos will be uploaded every Monday!

"Hello, I'm Michael Palin, "
1 second into the video and I'm already in fits of laughter.

When he says "I'd rather be a graybeard, " I just lost it. hahahahaha

[ZombieFighter]

The title is wrong. This is, in fact, not John Cleese, but obviously (as he even mentioned in the beginning!), Michael Palin.

"I'd rather be a graybeard"...

Someone needs to make I FART IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION a dragon shout somehow.

Jeff Dunham... Funnier than Monty Python... Maybe in a universe where bricks are food and cheese is the main building material...

I've been brainwashed by the BBC to laugh at this man since puberty, so I can't stop now. I must take issue with one thing, though: most stupid people like me really do know we're stupid. That's because smart people keep telling us we are -- and we're so utterly stupid we actually believe them.

It took him one second to make me laugh.

[lingaustin]

"...but also the entirety of Fox News." I nearly died laughing.

The Hitler channel, well that wasn't expected like the Spanish inquisition

[GregaMeglic]

He wants to be a greybeard :o

Skyrim modders MAKE IT HAPPEN :p

[RonJohn]

The Argument Clinic is MUCH funnier than the Parrot Sketch.

[ZiggyVB]

I lost it at him calling the History Channel the "Hitler Channel".

One of the best memories I've had so far in my life was when my son and I watched the black knight scene and we played it over and over while we both laughed until we were crying. He was 8 years old when I rented that for us.

[Christianholt]

"I'd rather be a greybeard".. That's where I lost it!!

[fodicky]

Soon to be "famous" Jeff Dun-ham HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[Consural]

This Michael Palin chap looks a lot like John Cleese from Monty Python.

[TheAdampr]

Shakespeare wrote in As You Like It: "The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.", which I think it really relates the the last comment you were talking about.

Its always interesting to hear people's first impressions of Monty Python. Anyone I meet that is a fan spends the next 20 minutes trading quotes in between belly laughs. But theres an interesting occurrence with some people who are not familiar with the Pythons and it goes like this:

1) They watch any Monty Python skit or movie with occasional laughter and many puzzled looks.
2) They go to work the next day and talk to someone else who is a fan of MP.
3) They start quoting MP things they heard the previous day.
4) They return home to rewatch the same MP footage and now laugh hysterically.

There is a very large value in the quotability and recital of Monty Python material, and it has cause to increase the enjoyment of rewatching. Not many other comedians/movies/shows have this ability and it is MARVELLOUS!

Love your work!
