CLEESE PRIDE

*kyabetsu* · 04-21-2004, 12:00 AM

it's come to my attention that there is a general lack of respect in recent threads for the works and life of Mr. John Cleese.

Mr. Cleese has been a constant source of humor and creativity for me, and i hope that you can understand that i post this thread out of my deep regard for Mr. Cleese and his lifeworks.

Truly, he is an amazing man.

I'd like to take a moment then, and invite you all to share your favorite Cleese Moments.

and if you feel inspired to do so, feel free to use the following image in your sig: http://pic6.picturetrail.com/VOL144/...7/51661889.jpg

John Cleese is awesome! I think my favorite sketch of his is the "Dead Parrot"

"This is an ex-parrot!"

The Dead Parrot sketch kills me, but I have to vote for Holy Grail. I love that movie to no end.

*That Matt Guy* · 04-21-2004, 01:28 AM

S***, I'll take that!

*damnhooligan* · 04-21-2004, 02:02 AM

Fawlty Towers rocks.

German: Will you stop talking about the war!
Basil: Me? You started it!
German: We did not start it.
Basil: Yes you did, you invaded Poland!

Peanut · 04-21-2004, 02:05 AM

BWAHAHAHAHA! DH some of your best work yet!

*damnhooligan* · 04-21-2004, 02:06 AM

It makes me happy.

"I WOOOLD PUUT A TAAX ON PEOPUL WHO STAAND IN WAUTER!" go, gumby Cleese, go!

John Cleese is my favorite python, with eric Idle a close second <^_^> I loce silly walk, Dead Parrots, the announcer at the Upper Clas Twit of the YEar Show, Hungarian Tourist ("Do you waaant to come back to my place, bouncy bouncy?") and everything else he's been in <^_^> Any movie that has significant Cleeseness in it is one I instantly go out and see (usually rent so i can rewind the funny bits).

Woot!! John Cleese Rules!!!

On topic, I love John Cleese. I'd be hard pressed to pick my favorite of his performances, though...

Cleese is the f'n man. He was great in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, plus he's a better "gadget conjurer" for Bond.

*kyabetsu* · 04-21-2004, 08:38 AM

i think one of my all-time favorite Cleese sketch... had to be the one where he's dressed as a flamenco dancer. One of the other pythons is just behind him, dressed similarly...but in drag. the other python has a guitar. there's a large cardboard cut-out of a llama next to them...

and Mr. Cleese proceeds (with occassional dramatic spanish-guitar sound-effects) to give us all a public service and safety announcement about llamas. Entirely in Spanish. His accent is CRAZY. and the subtitles tell you the things he's telling us about llamas are entirely untrue.

!CUIDADO! HAY LLAMAS!!!*

... and then a police man chases them off and it turns out they were behind a convenience store.

*Caution! There are Llamas!

*Taloniss* · 04-21-2004, 09:30 AM

Cleese rules.

*Dr. Doom* · 04-21-2004, 10:23 AM

I voted for not being able to choose just one. He's juat generalluy funny guy, and he's been all ovfer the place, so it's hard to pinpoint something.

Oh, and...

-=Slaps cqb=-

Don't talk about Desmond like that. Do you wish to incur the wrath of DOOM?!

Are you kidding? Look at his filmography. He barely did anything besides Q.
