​@@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.

@Rrtnns
@Rrtnns 5 років тому
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.

@@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.

The Pythons were a big part of my young world growing up. Both them and Pete and Dud. Comedy though is like music it's very expansive and very fluid and changes with each generation that comes along. It's very personal too, what one person finds funny another may not. Again like music it has the ability to carry you through very difficult periods in your life, transporting you away from certain realities for a while , subsequently making them more bearable. It also has the ability to unite people and bring down barriers. Laughter is such a great tonic. As well as creating a release, it also produces those chemicals that make us feel contented.

The art of interviewing is to hear more from the person being interviewed than the interviewer. The likes of John Cleese are like a firework; light the blue touch paper and stand back.

One of the best interviews ever. Thank you.

IMO, Hodgson was the perfect foil for Cleese. The banter was excellent, and if you remember, John Cleese said something extremely significant -- In the South and in the Mid-West (MY stomping ground), there is a dearth of Irony in our Humor; whereas in England there is nothing but.... I find this to be very useful in public dealings as well. Just a thought -- and a Word To The Wise....

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.
