"Do go on, it's most interesting." The oldest lie in the universe

Rowan Atkinson is only 26 here. Imagine how natural and composed you need to be as a comedian to be this good when you are 26.

Cleese does a terrific job as the 'straight man'. How he keeps a straight face is a miracle.

If a title such as "John Cleese and Rowan Atkinson" does not immediately grab your attention. You obviously have no soul.

The inticipation before "pollen" was just perfect. That was a masterclass in comedic timing.

People have to understand; this was a benefit gig, with minimal prepartion and no payment for the artists. That it turned out as funny as it was, was an achievement. :)

two of the greatest comedians working together creating a masterpiece

John Cleese and Rowan Atkinson, or genius meets genius.

Rowan Atkinson has to be one of the most versatile comedians in history. He's perfect for Cleese and Python. hhahaha

WOW ... Rowan Atkinson and John Cleese on the same stage ... AMAZING ...!!!

Amazing how they do this with such a straight face.

I'm so happy that this kind of humour is existing... there is nothing like this here in Germany but I think it is tremendously funny.

2:51 "Pardon? Shhh!" Made me spit out a lung and most of the tea I was enjoying.

I think my favorite part has to be between 3:20 through 3:33 when we're just WAITING for him to say the inevitable word. John and Rowan are such skilled comedians that they know juuuuuuust how long to stretch the moment out. Not too long, not too short. And we just know it's coming... :-) True comedic genius and skill.

2 legends. 16 years after upload

Two of my favourite comedians - brilliantly simple stuff, but soooo funny.

It's great that John keeps his patience so long- I was expecting him to get mad a lot sooner.

This is the best sketch I've seen in my entire life! Quack!!

Best laugh I had in years. Might live a year longer now. cheers!

And now he's got a film about a man vs bee.

When I found out my friend was a bee keeper I stopped loaning him bees.

The most brilliant Men to ever make Buffoonery, a legitimate form of comedy.

Now this is what comedy is meant to be. Not someone standing on stage screaming and cussing. Pure gold 👏😊

A skit with Rowan Atkinson and John Cleese together and UKposts waited 13 years to recommend it to me?? FFS!

This is 40 years old now and will forever be funnier than any meme of today

my chest physically hurts from laughing

"Practicing for a word you're about to say very soon" - genius!

This is absolutely perfect in every detail. Marvelous acting from both.

I remember when my aunt and her Australian husband came to visit, I had an mp3 copy of it and had it played while we were driving along. The skit drove her husband into fits of laughter throughout the trip and my aunt was scratching her head on why it was so funny...

isn't it great that a sketch made around 20 years ago can still make people laugh! a true testament to 2 legends of comedy!

“What a senseless waste of human life-“ “WAAACK!”

"I was practicing" 😂😂😂

John Cleese has always a spare gun for such occasions.

Rowan is a legend. His performance is of another level

The best comedians at once that makes me die

Staggering display of comedic talent right here, pure class

I love it! How wonderful. Atkinson is a slapstick master and Cleese heightens this effect beautifully. Two of my all-time faves on the same stage...wow.

Just John Cleese turning his head at the beginning is comedy gold.

Cleese is doing an absolutely perfect job of portraying an average man in an impossible situation. Outstanding, the both of them.

The Almighty Absurd !!!!I just love these two great performers ^^

I love this! John Cleese and Rowan Atkinson are hilarious!

I wish I could see this for the first time again

This is a great find. Thanks for uploading it. Can't believe it only took me 12 years to see this here.

Two comedy legends on the same stage. This sketch was so funny.. I loved every minute of it. Epic.

The funniest part was that the beekeeping expert brought his gun to a TV interview. Obviously he anticipated a situation like this.

This is really too funny, I can't stop laughing at all, keep running out of breath and have to pause 😂 Well done to whoever wrote this script, its made my day so much better

2 of the greatest comedy minds of our age. Classic.

The two funniest men on EARTH!! None above, none besides them

These two, John Cleese and Rowan Atkinson, ought to pair up more often, they are so good together! The last time one remembers laughing so uncontrollably was watching the original Pink Panther series, especially the massage conversation and the attempted entry into castle.

All your troubles evaporate when you start to watch these 2 grand masters of comedy.

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! I laugh everytime I see it no matter how many times I see! It’s a masterpiece!!!

That moment, when they look at each other totally honest in complete silence. It doesnt get any better than that.

"Do please go on, I'm so sorry."

This is THE go to clip, if I want to be laughing my guts out - . . . shh! . . . Wark!!! 😂

I had a teacher in high school who had the "ssshh" tick. No kidding.

2 Legends

Real comedy never gets old!

Almost like "What, Macbeth?" :D

One of the most epic things I've ever seen in my life (quack!), since they're both shining their distinctive styles at the same time - is this the only time these two badasses worked together?

Neat to see these funny gentlemen working together.

You got me with "cleese"... I'm Argentinian, I don't speak english very good but they gotme laughing 4 minutes and 35 seconds non stop. Geniuses!

This is one of all-time great of funny bits. After many years and uncountable watching, it is still funny. The best in odd sillyness.

John Cleese AND Rowan Atkinson = I clicked "like" even before this started.

Did I said, "Shush?" I meant "Shhh."

I love that you can see John getting more and more visibly frustrated.

This is gold. Two of the greatest comedians ever on the stage together. I would literally have killed to be able to see this. I never knew that they collaborated in stand up and to find this on yt is like I died and went to heaven. I nearly died choking from laughing too much. Best recommendation from UKposts that I will ever receive and almost impossible to top. All my Christmas’ and birthdays have come at once.

Loved it. What fun they must have had rehearsing it.

If this were being done by the original Monty Python group, John would be doing the part of the interviewer and Graham Chapman would be the beekeeper. :) Those guys were a classic team, such great chemistry... I'm so glad to see that a pro like Rowan has the same chemistry with John, hope they do more work together, too funny!! XD

I love how often Cleese’s sketches end in him shooting someone. He keeps up the character on Twitter nowadays too, having recently called someone a “dago idiot” for PERFECTLY JUSTIFIED REASONS.

Monty Python meets Mr. Bean....that´s as a dream come true, legendary!!!!

One of the best collaborations ever.

"Nature really has produced a little masterpiece in the life......." "QUACK!!"

I spat milk on my screen laughing out lout while having breakfastand watching. Cleaning it was hard work, but worth it. I have to watch this every few month since many years and still can´t control my laughing attacks - Shusshhh

This always makes me laugh! Love it.

theirs barely anyone doing this kind of comedy anymore

It's miraculous, but after watching it for about 30 times now I can say it gets better every time! Those details... it's amazing! And how does Cleese succeed in staying so brilliantly irritated under al those sounds and faces Atkinson produces... That IS talent, yeah. Very rare, very lonely at the top.

The 2 greatest comic minds of our generation

Absolutely Inspired stuff! I admit I had high expectations when I saw those two names together, but it exceeded them in the most awesome way! Utter brilliance!

Wow pure comedy, love this sketch

The Led Zeppelin of comedy. Like classic rock, this is classic comedy. Thank you sirs. . . . and. . . do go on.

Great comedians and great actors at the same time!

Thank God all this stuff was recorded!

The pause before the word pollen is just absolutely perfect

Best "WTF" moment comedy sketch EVER!

I know whole act by mind and still I cry with laughing each time I watch this!

Timeless. Appreciated.

Thank you, self for choosing this to watch. Both of my favorites together! Holy Interviewer!!

Possibly the two greatest comedians ever.

Didn't even smirk once and I like them both

When Atkinson and Cleese meet you know sparks are going to fly. Literally...

Love them both ,they are hilarious

LOVE the "Do please go on, I'm so sorry" at the end. Just like Basil Fawlty.

"I'm so sorry, did I say shush? I meant, ssh." Genius :,D

Its Canadian Thanksgiving Monday 2019 🌽🌶🥗🍺🍻🥂 👍🏻 we just put the 🦃 to bake so I'm passing the time watching Rowan Atkinson on UKposts!!! The funniest comedian in all the world 🌎

2 comedic geniuses this world will never see again.

One of the funniest sketches ever, the fact the Cleese remains so dead pan throughout makes it for me

'Cleese and Atkinson' would have made such a good tv series

This is just incredible!

not sure how I ended up here, but so glad I did!!

"John Cleese and Rowan Atkinson" Comedy-Overkill.
