So? Doesn't mean someone should be laughing at his death.

Did I laugh at his death? Point that post out to me. He hasn't "been all over the place"

I bet you all thought I was gonna vote Muppet show... Had to go with Flying Circus, though...

Cleese is the greatest... I like Idle and Gilliam too (especially as a fellow animator) but Cleese... my fave.

The only thing I don't like him on is Will and Grace. That show is unbelievable... they've even managed to make John Cleese unfunny. Yikes!

As for the Muppet Show... really loved it. He even worked closely with the writers, and co-wrote the skit where he invades the Swinetrek (Pigs In Space) as a pirate with a disagreeable parrot (even managed to sneak a Monty Python refference into it... he threatened to make the parrot an "Ex-parrot") My favorite bit?

Link Hoghtrob: You can call them on the Intercom.

Cleese: Arrrr... Pirates don't use intercoms... t'would be sissy!........ WAIT!!! THIS ISN"T an intercom... IT'S A PAYPHONE!!!!!!!

(of course it's all in the delivery)

I really need to get some Monty Pythin DVD's....

How about 'Rat Race'? He was pretty good in that, even though only in a supporting role. ^^;

i'd FORGOTTEN about that part! i was just thinking of him in the closing number with that stupid, neon, salsa shirt on... ranting about how he didn't want to work with pigs, and WOULD NOT sing a SONG!

Kermit had a whole choir of muppets gather around him... and used every sentence that came out of his lips as a cue to a musical.

Cleese: KERMIT!! I WILL NOT SING A SONG!!!

Muppet choirsinging) He will not sing a song!!!

Cleese: THAT'S IT!! I'M LEAVING!!!

Muppet choirsinging) He's Leaving! He's Leaving! He Came Into Our Lives, But Now He's Leaving.....


Cleese goes limp with disgust, frustration and rage, and the Muppets force him through the closing number. The look of sheer loathing on his face was PRICELESS.

And never once does he sing.
