John Cleese in conversation with Eric Idle


The Python members are deeply unfunny and the world will be a better place once they have all shuffled off this mortal coil.

Thanks to my friend Casey Fleser for the link.

  1. “The Python members are deeply unfunny”

    Whaaaaaat?

    Sure they’re not as funny as they used to be, but they’re responsible for some of the funniest skits and films of all time.

  2. “the world will be a better place once they have all shuffled off this mortal coil”
    …
    Are you seriously publicly expressing your desire to see them dead, or you think that’s “deeply funny”?

  3. Lucky for you, Shawn, opinions don’t have to be correct.

    The Pythons were inspired by the Goons and others, and they in turn have inspired much of today’s comedy in some way.

  4. Wow. I could not disagree more. Have you always had this opinion?

    This has to be a joke.

  5. People. Shawn is channelling the pythons. Practically every word of this is funny, and so is Shawn’s comment, if you simply read it back to yourself, in Cleese’s voice, with the appropriate level of insouciance.

  6. You crack me up Shawn. Sarcasm is not pushing up the daisies or gone to meet it’s maker.
