​@@howcumusuck I guess you haven't seen any codes of rugby, or Australian Rules football, or Gaelic football. The latter two forms of football only wear mouth guards, and aren't bulked up with padding, nor helmets, like American football. I am not saying it's something to be admired, but you seem to admire such things. Post Concussion Syndrome from football is not just an American thing.

⁠@@howcumusuckAmerican football is rugby for fat,lazy pussies. If they weren’t lazy it wouldn’t take 4 hours to get 16 minutes of action, and if they’re not pussies why are they wearing helmets and excessive padding?

Cleese. That's funny, no?

Jessica Fernando It`s the best You Tube videos I`ve ever seen. Must confess not familiar with John Hodgen, but that will change really soon. He`s insanely funny. It`s not easy to hold your own with Cleese.

Especially now.

Your comment’s relevance grows with the year. Tip of the cap 🧢

1:18:11 my only critique is that he cut him off here, I think Cleese was about to say something important

​@@CamRebireshost was good but trying a little too hard to be funny at times. But he got funnier.

Your walk had not become any sillier.

There is no WAY you were 16 and he was 22! He was almost 31 years old when that was aired. And since you're saying you're 72 which makes you about three years younger than him, you must have been 27/28.

I also used to get on at East Croydon when I was 16. Was never lucky enough to see JC.

sandra mccarthy That would have been in 1960 so no.

@@Ihy744ppp She was probably just remembering the dates wrong, i.e. thinking it happened earlier in her life when she was younger. I remember when I first discovered imdb in the early 2000s, I discovered a lot of my favorite movies from the 90s were released either a few years earlier or later than I remembered. It totally blew my mind to find out that I probably saw two of my favorite movies of all time, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Batman (1989), for the first time when I was just 3. The Last Crusade is the earliest memory I have that I can put a date on. I remembered a lot from the film despite understanding almost nothing about the Nazis and the Holy Grail/Arthurian myth, and the tank chase scene near the end totally blew my mind as the small child. That and when we saw the film again a few months later when it was at the cheap cinemas (most have closed but they used to be all over the US, I think piracy forcing studios to put movies on DVD quicker had something to do with that too) when I would at that point been 4, I had to run out at the scene when the bad guy drinks from the bad grail then ages to death into a skeleton because it scared me so much the first time.

John, we have a particular type of humour in Britain but I don't think we're all gloomy!

How does an intelligent man become a flaming libtard? Three things lead a smart man to libtardation: huge Ego, the propensity to virtue-signal as means of fishing for love, and the recognition of the necessity to kiss the left-wing Establishment's ass for the maintenance of a high-profile show-biz career. After all, Cleese always openly admitted he's up for almost anything as long as the money was right. (So counter to his left-wing leanings though, this mercenary love of money.) And a certain dose of sociopathy, that too. His narcissism is way off the charts.

Next thing you'll be telling me is "you're just JEALOUS". If you can't handle criticism of your gods and idols, you'd better get Prozac, a big pack of them. Your God Cleese is not a perfect being, nor do intelligent men always understand the world. In fact, the term "intellectual moron" suits him perfectly.

TCIASC you must be an american, however criticism must be given and accepted humor is a very objective thing which is why we have so many stand-ups, so many sketches and so on. But there are so many ways to deliver these criticisms and your only seemed to try or should we say attempt to disgrace a individual.

Thanks john! Love Jon

Couldn’t agree more!! ☺️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

It helps that Hodgman is also a comedy genius. Respect!

Yep that was so funny. Cleese is much less anxious than the host, but he started to relax after a while and got funnier.

He could have his own university course on nothing, leading to have "nothing" as ones major.

@@omarkhan5223 by gig hi hi hi hi I

Poor old Cleese he's becoming what he used to mock

I always get the feeling from his interviews that he doesn't like fanbois.

Book m

Hodgeman is not as experienced, but seemed obvious to me that Cleese enjoyed his contributions

@@aussiechris5904 I agree. It's great to see such an iconic and funny person such as Cleese appreciate someone else being funny, with no ego getting in the way.

Almost....

for a John Cleese interview I think this is one of his best, Mr Cleese has a reputation for being a bad interviewee, personally ive always found him insightful and classless, no pigeon holing this python, the fact his being interviewed by a fan makes it all the more wonderful #lovelightlaughter/Ahoy ;)

The host is no slouch either!

Yup m 8:19

Did your parents really name you Justin Case?

Mental Monarchy I know those two should work together on a project. Their collaboration would be on par with young Cleese and Chapman.

You are so lucky!!!

If he’s like my partner whose younger than me, he does the same thing. It’s to get them to say how young he looks. It can backfire when they find out that I’m over 4 years older and look younger than him.

Some people do not understand irony, or like the Goons and Pythons, sheer ridiculousness.

Binoculars ?

Very perceptive. I moved to Switzerland in 1990 and experienced severe culture shock. The humor I witnessed on Swiss TV was nothing like the self-deprecating humor (perhaps largely Jewish) that I knew from America. Swiss humor seemed very cerebral.

We used to be funny in the UK, the ability to laugh at ourselves was one of the best things about us. That ability has been lost.
