​@@AllanMogensencan you please give an example/hypothetical?

I have an old Saxon soul and I think it’s that that makes me want to do whatever it is that I’m being coerced or bullied into. I refuse to sunbathe and am now in the top 1% of whiteness. I wear a large, visible cross at all times. I’d quite like a T.shirt with ‘certified racist’ and a middle finger on it. I’m not really all that racist, I lived my whole life post racially, as according to MLK, but the idiocy of picking on the least racist people on earth, the only ones with outgroup compassion that goes beyond words, just makes me want to rebel. I RAGE at ALL injustice. A deep sense of fair play pulses in every cell of my body and it sees no colour but misty crimson. Meekness is yet another mistranslation of the Bible. We are commanded to fight evil. Also, turning the other cheek has been inverted, it’s the opposite of surrender. The right side is where you’d strike a lesser person, turning the cheek is an assertion of equality to the challenger.

There were several articles on the topic but the one I read just contained a bunch of "A person on Facebook posted..." quotes. It's called the Nutpicker Fallacy--for any position you can find someone who supports it, so cherry-pick an extreme position and find the nut who is arguing for it and use that to make your case that "many people believe" whatever nonsense you want--be it people who want to claim that we should not use the phrase "pregnant women" because it's exclusionary or weirdos who think the Book of Genesis is meant to be taken literally and want that taught in schools. Then write a clickbait article to rile up your base.

That is good

That's poetic really.

❤️🙏💫

That’s because Don Rickles is dead.

Very interesting! I'm from the US, and I remember my dad watching it often (possibly in reruns) in the mid 1970s (I was about 11) . My dad always had a very good sense of humor. He frequently told what I/we call "Dad Jokes" THat follows what Cleese said, You don't know if something is funny unless you try it out." Even a joke that may flop, it would still be funny in some way - If not for me, it would be funny for someone else! - I have followed in my dad's footsteps. The thing I find neat is that people laugh at my jokes much more than I would think..

Did Mum and Dad ever come to appreciate the sarcasm/wit/genius of the Pythons?

I recall from a Cleese novel ( a bio, the name escapes me) that he said Python pursued incongruity and silliness without punch lines. Awkward situations, things juxtaposed against type, and the like. This became something like a defining aspect between American comedy and British comedy, or at least Python comedy--a sketch or routine which lacks a punch line. It becomes dangerously close to seeing or not seeing the emperor's clothes, but really, does one need to 'get' a thing so long as it amuses you? It's fair to admit that you don't see why something is considered funny, so long as you don't criticize those who are amused anyway whether they 'get it' or not. I have no idea what I am saying.

Gotta say, I just enjoyed the stupidity. I was a teen but had to leave home before enjoying freedom from restriction. Parents, right? The Fish Slapping Dance? The Larch? How much screen time would a modern network give either? I mean, what could possibly be funny about a chap being slapped upside the head with a salmon? Or listening to a fellow intone "The Larch" while looking at a fucking tree, over and over again? Aahhh, but if you had about 30 minutes of this type of stupidity on tape (oops. old boy give-away) you could sell those bytes to advertisers, couldn't you?! But I ask, why is the only stupidity available to me limited to the internet, and so VERY, VERY stupid? Why can't some of it be intelligent?

I found Monty Python on PBS when I was about 11. My parents didn't know that I was watching it because it was on long after they'd gone to bed. The only problem my Mum would've had with it would've been the nudity, and even that would only have elicited a scornful cringe. 😄

@@athanasiossoulakakis7893 Especially them.

Cleese's fingernail clippings are more intelligent than some entire governments.

That's because Cleese has more humour than every Democrat, Republican, and a large portion of 20-somethings combined. Being able to laugh, genuinely laugh, keeps us sharp.

@@capnmo6718 other way around. High IQ leads to humor, in general.

What about Big Mike?

You can not compare John Cleese with Joe Biden. Joe Biden is in cognitive decline and John Cleese is not. That is not a joke or a political jab, it is just a statement of fact.

"it's the diversity of interests that drive their curiosity and their ability to explain their thinking in relation to those influences."??🙃🙃🙃.

Nice idea, but there is only one John Cleese!

We are not allowed to have more than one John Cleese. And if they had a choice, they'd ban the one we have as well. Kinda like Benny Hill - totally different comedy, of course. Hill had a sarcastic view on the "typical women-chasing man", making fun of that stereotype with the "typical male" turning out to be a loser. But sudden people began to take his satirical sketches as earnest, serious depictions of sexism.

​@@klausstock8020Most people can't think beyond their next meal/snack/drink/orgasm/payday/payday loan/sports bet or vapid woke comment. They can't get beyond the boobies of Benny's sight gags and understand his subversive humour. What's hilarious (pun intended) is that many of them think HE's "stupid"!

Like gossip’s who lust to spread rumors and cause mayhem. No difference.

It gets worse, there are people who are professionally offended on behalf of other people, who don't give a damn, but should according to the formentioned offendees. And that such people exist and are serious about it, is sillier than a python sketch.

@@dikkie1000 yes because "we are all the same" HAHAHA

It's basic skillset for the job to understand who you are talking to and adjust accordingly. Of course it's a problem if someone without humor interviews a comedian. But it is basic skillset of other people to not arrange such a pairing in the first place.

I'm not at all familiar with the interviewer, but was struck at how well he did his job in that particular interview!

This interviewer was soggy melba toast. Cleese was reaching out to no avail for some interaction upon which he could develop a humorous discussion.

@@nortiusmaximus1789 And with all that, it was still ahead of most other interviews.

​@@nortiusmaximus1789 I think he did a perfectly good job. He pops off well-pitched questions that Cleese answers with obvious interest/sincerity , and moreover, freely and uninterrupted. On the few occasions the interviewer does interject, it's almost always brief/on-point and prompts Cleese to extrapolate further (which of course Cleese can do so well). Interviewing skills 101: The audience was there to listen to Cleese talk; and he did - a lot.

Although not all CALLED wokeism is a dumb thing ,we could boil it down to this : Religion. Wokeism is religion. It's a negative form of rigidity or the lack of intellect.

@@KibyNykraft Agree. I would use the apt word DOGMA too.

There's an old joke. A woman checks into a motel that has two buildings, one facing the other. She gets to her room and sees the other building out the window, where a man is walking around naked. She calls the manager and says that he needs to cover up. The manager comes up to her room first, walks around, and says, "Yes, he's naked, but you can't see anything below his waist, no matter where you are in the room." She replies, "Oh, yeah? You can if you stand on the bed!" [EDITED: I had "above" instead of "below" originally.]

For every troll, there's a bridge.

I love that. My family has the same dark sense of humor. My parents would often talk about things like what we each wanted of theirs when they die. During one of these conversations, my brother grabbed a pad of sticky notes, wrote his name on them and started sticking them to things in the living room. We all started doing the same thing, arguing and removing each others' sticky notes to replace them with ours... It's one of my fondest memories. If you're up for reading another... My mom was in the hospital and started talking about wanting to leave and die and such, but she can't get out of the hospital because she's hooked up to the IV line. My sister pulled out her pocket knife and said, "Just give me the word and we're out of here." Mom made a face and then laughed. Using humor to deal with uncomfortable situations is in my blood. lol

Yeah! What Paul said.

There is a psychological hypothesis that if a person is needed by society, he/she will live longer than someone who lives only for his own needs. John Cleese is a good example of this.

Nope. He has nothing to offer except extreme woke hate. Like all socialists he now thinks he is funny when all he does is spewing poison. I used to love all he did - he killed every memory, every moment, every expectation with his sick hatred of Trump and being associated with the extremist hater Rob Reiner (said to produce Faulty Towers rise-from-the-dead).

I guess 120+ million murdered by socialism is not enough for some, oh the others just didn't get it quite right, let's try again.

@Ildar T8 Makes sense. We all (or most of us) need to be needed. Hence the crisis of postmodern hyper-individualism. I think I just made that term up, but you get what I mean

He is like a different species to what roams the Earth now.

This comment didn't age very well...

Why what's he said now?

@@TheEvertw Oh no, did he say something you didn't like about The Current Thing?

Shane he has reneged on the causes he once championed.

Cryptic, Thanks the chapter time stamps. Best regards.

thanks! Dunning Kruger 👏

No my friend. It's just that his parents stopped having kids .......

You got it right in the last line.

a lot of the old, great British comedians met in university, they were all very talented and very smart, a marvellous combo.

Amen to that! When we look at civil discourse as war, we are playing the game of the leftist, and sensationalist media!

Yeah, they can't. They've lost objective rationality. They've had hard establishment goons on just like everyone else.

Stating a differing opinion is declaring war to a wokist.

@@wmason1961 It is disagreeing... Just because they think thoughts and words are war doesn't mean we need to follow them into delusion.

@@travissharon1536 it is a war. If we decide not to fight it fine. Just don't expect to win. Wokism will destroy the world of we decide to sit out the war and not fight.

The true "darkness" are the people who have turned "woke" into a swear word, I think. Those are the people who want to see women back in the kitchen, who want to return to persecuting gay people or people of a different ehtnicity than theirs, which is almost without exception of the pink-skinned persuasion. And John Cleese has of course stopped being all that funny decades ago.

I thought the same thing about cocaine for the brain. 😂

Ya that was awkward, soon after almost quashing the lawyer joke.

John was very gracious to this unfunny boob of an interviewer.

For most people probably, but for me personally, I just like the smell of it ;)

LMAO - I said the same exact thing when he said that line.

Which is why censoring them is such a crime.

They all rant and bore everyone. They go on and on. Cleese was funny; Carlin never was.

One is not they.

most of them just say out loud things we think ourselves or poke fun at the sacred cows we set up to show us how silly they really are & how meaningless in the grand scheme of everything

And if they're REALLY talented, they'll get you to accept their POV as your own. "It's funny because it's true!" That's why Gutfeld! gets ratings.
