Well, I hope this teaches you a lesson, young man! You should never have any food anywhere near your mouth while trying to watch ANY Monty Python sketch! lol
I was thinking that before clicking the video, both are great at it. I do enjoy Palin not being able to control his laugher in the sketches with Cleese though LOL!
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.
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.
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...
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.
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
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 TH-cam that I will ever receive and almost impossible to top. All my Christmas’ and birthdays have come at once.
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!
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.
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
Its Canadian Thanksgiving Monday 2019 🌽🌶🥗🍺🍻🥂 👍🏻 we just put the 🦃 to bake so I'm passing the time watching Rowan Atkinson on TH-cam!!! The funniest comedian in all the world 🌎
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?
Two Titans of off the wall sketch mastery meet and do battle . . . and everybody wins!. Like famous gunfighters, they live in a world of dwindling equals . . . but is that bad thing? Together they define a moment in public apprehension and perspective that will not come again. I'm glad to have been part of it and appreciate the opportunity to remember it through the gilded glass of comedic perfection. First rate work, you two..
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
@@buggerall That's got nothing to do with it. A beekeeper is tasked with keeping bees. He wouldn't be much of a beekeeper if say, God forbid, they managed to escape.
It's like watching Robin Williams and Jonathan Winters riff off of each other in a "60 Minutes" feature I saw some years ago. Two epic masters working in perfect harmony!
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.
The origins of the sketch are from the radio show " I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again " (1963-1972), again with John Cleese, which ends with the interviewer exploding due to a certain word - nice to see it !
It is a great show isn't it ?!I listen to it most days at work and attribute it to the maintaining of my sanity. Bill Oddie is an overlooked musical genius - so sad that all the youngsters only know him as that bloke off Spring Watch.
It was either honey or pollen - which is pointed out by the producer that it probably wasn't a good idea to let JC handle the interview - especially as it was about Bees :)
Very simple comedy concept brought alive by two masters of the craft... if anyone else did this it wouldn't be that funny, but Cleese and Rowan are just perfect...
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.
So that mean You have to be born as a comedian. I see no other way...

What's with Cleese's Magnificent Beard?
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. :)
I thought so. It seems like improv rather than scripted.
Two of the planet's funniest people, how could it not?
@@ParadigmRabbit
It's scripted, because it's an older skit. There's another version with Cleese too.
They rarely do improv considering they're writers first before performers

WOW ... Rowan Atkinson and John Cleese on the same stage ... AMAZING ...!!!
Two of my favourite comedians - brilliantly simple stuff, but soooo funny.
2:51 "Pardon? Shhh!" Made me spit out a lung and most of the tea I was enjoying.
I kind of feel like British comedians owe me a new monitor. Mine's all covered in food from watching this sort of stuff while trying to eat dinner.

Rowan alone would owe me at least a couple of 22".

Staggering display of comedic talent right here, pure class
This is absolutely perfect in every detail. Marvelous acting from both.
Two comedy legends on the same stage. This sketch was so funny.. I loved every minute of it. Epic.

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!
Someone said Rowan was 26 in this sketch. He's 68 now.
It's great that John keeps his patience so long- I was expecting him to get mad a lot sooner.
He gets his revenge at the end - "interviewer, interviewer, interviewer".
The Almighty Absurd !!!!I just love these two great performers ^^

Well done to whoever wrote this script, its made my day so much better
Rowan atkinson probably wrote it.
This is 40 years old now and will forever be funnier than any meme of today

because a bees life (quark!) Only lives 30d
The interest in those short term bee loans is quite hive.
I had a similar issue lending my friend lighthouses.
Nice. Funnier than this sketch.
"Pardon my intrusion, but I was wondering if I could trouble you for a cup of bees..."
That moment, when they look at each other totally honest in complete silence.
It doesnt get any better than that.
