3:24 Bill Maher must be thinking: "I made a joke and John Cleese lost it. Now I can die a happy man."
Yeah the best part is that it wasn't just some kind of polite chuckle. Cleese was rocking his chair because of his belly fluctuations and his head was turning red. It was a real gut busting laugh.
Oh Lord, yes. To me, that would be like being a Marine (an honor I have never had), performing you duties and having someone like Chesty Puller come up and say "Good job, son." Your whole life could end right there and you'd be happy. :)
What?!
@@Io-Io-Io He said, "Oh Lord, yes. To me, that would be like being a Marine (an honor I have never had), performing you duties and having someone like Chesty Puller come up and say "Good job, son." Your whole life could end right there and you'd be happy. :)"...Pay attention.
For me, it would have been george carlin.
I think the best anti-PC routine I ever saw was by a minor comic whose name I can no longer recall. He started to make some racial jokes about blacks and Mexicans, and Asians and so forth, to a mostly white audience, but he assured the audience it was OK, because he was saving the best jokes for last and they would be white jokes. And when he got through with all of them he said, "And here's the white joke - the joke's on you because I don't have any white jokes, and now you're all going to squirming with guilt for laughing at all those OTHER jokes!"
+Pat Doyle That is fabulous, also sounds right up the isle of something John Cleese might have said at one time or another. Whoever the comic was, that was very good.
Chris Johnson
Yes, I could easily see Cleese pulling a trick like that.
*****
It could be. I saw it quite a few years ago - before Tosh was a household name.
Modern-day white guilt is the biggest race joke going.
I'd have loved to see the audience faces when he said that
I would be very proud if I could make John Cleese laugh like that.
Bill made it on stand up - John Cleese never ever has done stand up!?!?
John Cleese's current mental state suggests that anything could make him laugh like that.
@@bigverybadtom Maybe now, unfortunately!
You need to check out Lee Mack on the Graham Norton show. He tells a brilliant story that makes Cleese cry with laughter
@@bigverybadtom what are you talking about?
"I love you how can I be like you....?"
"FUCK OFF!"
ROTFLMAO
John Clesse is a treasure to the human race.
I was just thinking "treasure" a moment ago. My statement would be, these two guys talking together is a global treasure.
AND other races also
getting John Cleese to laugh has to be a bit like getting a great musician to find themselves humming a tune you've written.
can you imagine?
how would you ever fit your head through the door after making your hero laugh?
+Jason Lefler Why should it be difficult to get John Clease to laugh? has the man no sense of humour?
+Numpty I just mean that making a comedy hero laugh had to be a special experience.
Jason Lefler
You think?
i think i know now why your mother named you Numpty.
Jason Lefler
Oh dear the obvious one,very lame
He made John Cleese laugh out loud. That's more than anyone should hope for in life.

Love John Cleese. Love his accent. His voice. His wisdom. His comedic skills. His sophisticated British humor. A legend!
"One of the painful things of our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid, and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision." - Bertrand Russell
Let doubt prevail.
2016 has been a terrible year for celebrities.
Please, keep John Cleese alive.
Deportation Officer Clements Thank God, Cleese is alive, more than ever. World's is sillier!!!
Don't worry about running out of celebrities, we are making plenty of replacements.
Isn't every year?
His mother lived to 101.
Deportation Officer Clements RIP Andrew Sachs 😔
John Cleese is a legend. He needs a knighthood. 1:41 - “Oh, fuck off!” LOL
He does not want to be knighted.
@@budakbaongsiah I bet he'd accept it if they gave him some juicy tax breaks.
"There's a piece of you over there, there's a piece of you over there"...I nearly pissed myself, ladies and gentlemen.
You could essentially tell the same joke about any NRA member. Except THEN Right wing America would go ballistic.
@@tcanders123 The joke ringing false because it is not NRA members who commit the gun violence. Does the name of Carl T. Rowan ring a bell?
@@bigverybadtom the NRA members stack in ammunition and weaponry strictly for peaceful purposes. Because that's what guns are for!
@@gregh5061 You failed to refute what I said.
@@bigverybadtom why would I? I agree with you
I've never heard John Cleese say "fuck" before...
...I am happy.
***** I have now. It was fuckin' great. Thanks!
You should watch the movie commentary for Time Bandits. It's just as good, if not better, than watching the regular movie.
You hadn't? You need to watch/listen to more Python. Or watch his films. He has said it many times.
***** Cleese's eulogy for Chapman was epic. "Good riddance you freeloading bastard, I hope you fry." "Fuck" was the punchline.
+MadJohnEscapes The first person to say 'fuck' at a memorial service :P
Hearing one of the funniest people laugh at your own jokes must be the most heart-warming thing! Cleese's laugh is great 😂
I'm using that peace joke.
its *piece
firehand1011
It's
FTFY
forgive me
it's both ya nincompoop
yeah, better than thinking of your own!
Fawlty Towers best comedy series ever. Thanks, John Cleese.
it really is. still funny
I’ll have to watch this. Thanks!
I’ll have to watch this. Thanks!
Omg , the Germans episode had me gasping for air ... brilliant!!!
No riff-raff.
John Cleese is brilliant!
I am Mexican and we joke badly about ourselves. These two guys are amazing.
njaime70
Cheech Marin’s “Mexican Americans” song is a fucking national treasure. Some of the greatest humor the US has seen involves Mexicans.
Warner Brothers dropped the Speedy Gonzales character out of fear of offending Mexicans. As it turns out, Mexicans became unhappy BECAUSE they dropped Speedy Gonzales!
@@bigverybadtom Speedy Gonzalez was an adorable mouse!
@@Noblebird02 I thought so to, and I found him not an offensive stereotype at all. It's not as if he spoke broken English or was any sort of villain.
@@bigverybadtom For real? Damn! Speedy Gonzalez was one of my favourite Cartoon Network characters growing up. :/
I will miss the days when comedians will be allowed to speak freely like this.
So does John Cleese
gjaddajg your almost 40years in the past 😂🤣
I miss the days when "comedians" were actually funny
@@thepossessor yeah, that too. 😂
"were allowed"
John Cleese should be declared a national treasure in all English speaking nations. Simply brilliant.
Cleese was a fantastic performer, but I never got the impression he was especially intelligent.
@@bigverybadtom You're right, what a fucking idiot one of the greatest comedians of all times is
@@bigverybadtom
You try getting into Cambridge to read Law and then becoming the foremost comedian on TV for about 15 years.
@@anonUK Maybe I'm wrong, but I got the idea Cleese became famous as part of the Monty Python troupe rather than on his own accord. He may have stayed the most famous, but it was really his great comic acting more than his jokes that kept him going. Plenty of his post -Python projects did flop when you look at his record.
@@bigverybadtom You obnviously didnt want Faulty Towers Cleese was an Icon
Making John Cleese laugh takes real talent.
Some friends and I met him in 2011, and he could not have been nicer! Posed for photos, spoke Italian to our Italian friend and Spanish to our Spanish-speaking friend, and, at her request, recited his Russian lines from "A Fish Called Wanda" for our Russian friend. It's a wonderful memory.
John Cleese and the rest of the lads on Monty Python….. pure comedic geniuses. 👍🏻😂🤣
John Cleese doing a full on belly laugh made me smile. Fok awf!
Saw Faulty Towers as a kid, and it was still hilarious seeing it as an adult
I love, Love, LOVE, John Cleese! He is a TRUE MASTER of COMEDY! Him and ALL of his "Brothers" from MONTY PYTHON! :D
That religion of piece joke is just too funny...I keep going back and watching John's reaction as it sinks in. Priceless.
Damn, Love John Cleese. Thanks, Bill Maher, That guy and his troop really did change comedy over their careers, and sure gave us meat to think on. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I'm latina and the fact that people think that we can't defend ourselves from jokes about us offends me more than the actual jokes. It is very condescending like John said, and I actually quite racist if you think about it.
"On the whole he is nice" ...lol. These two crack me up.
All the Python boys are comedic geniuses.
Well, Chapman WAS. R.I.P.
@Hello Roger how are you doing
One of his great moments was as the French soldier up in the castle in The Holy Grail film.
* Monty Python makes jokes on christians *
* people get offended and triggered *
John Cleese: I'm a christian and I find it amusing
I thought John Cleese was an atheist?
Very much an ex-Christian, I think.
@@bigverybadtom He is an ex-Christian. He has ceased to be. He has kicked the bucket, run down the curtain, and joined the choir invisible.
@@KabirChattopadhyay1991 I did read "So, Anyway..." by John Cleese, and from all indications Cleese never implied he was ever religious to begin with.
@@bigverybadtom I know. I was just making a joke from his Dead Parrot Sketch with Michael Palin. "This is an ex-parrot, it has ceased to be" etc. 😁
I was so lucky to run into him at Bath when I visited the UK last year... he even obliged me with a picture! Amazing guy!
John Cleese is awesome, thanks for all the laughs.
@ 3:26 - Anyone who can make John Cleese laugh like that has my thumbs up.
John Cleese is amazing and as much as I'm on the opposite side of Bill on many issues, I really appreciate his ability to still just try to see the truth and humor in life instead of PC dogma and propaganda.
@Philip Gregory probably not by his own choice….
@Philip Gregory I can see why some would be, including myself. Some of Bill's comments are deliberately abrasive, some seem to be deliberately aimed at insulting people of the Christian faith (something he also does to Muslims, to give him his due), many of his stances are considered to be very much in a liberal vein and for a while he was seen as a cheerleader for the Left; something that as our current administration and culture seems to be going further and further into the rabbit hole of outright insanity, he is doing less and less of. As with all things, there are some things that he says that I can agree with, and some I don't. It's not an either-or, "for him or against him" partisan thing.
Sitting down and John is still a giant
Can we please just have a 4 hour or something special of these two conversing?
Whenever I feel like the world is real and truly circling the bowl, I listen to John Cleese. I feel more anchored to a real hope for the future after listening to him. Thank you Lord Cheese.
That joke though about a piece of me there and another piece over there. Holy shit that was good.
John Cleese is a hero. Period.
It's nearly a decade old and I still love this clip. Maher making Cleese laugh is priceless. If I were Bill I'd put this picture up my wall, if only in my Memory Palace.
Thank you for bringing up the topic Mr. John Cleese. It's so refreshing how you articulate rhetoric.
that was a genuine laugh from Cleese, bill must be happy
"Almost nobody has any idea what they are talking about."
That's the problem with this internet age giving every moron a voice. Used to be that you had to have some kind of intelligence or talent to get recognition.
More! ... please more of these of these two great minds and wonderfully entertaining men!
Lmao. I came here searching for John Cleese. I wasn't disappointed 🤣🤣
If you make John Cleese laugh you should get a medal.
you just got to love John Cleese
I love him so much!
I can’t stop seeing king Harold from shrek discussing contemporary issues
I adore John Cleese! He's a real kick!
that religion of piece joke was gold..hahaha..
I didn't get it. Could you help me out?
Fundamentalists put the fun in mental.
1:47 absolutely amazing. An elderly man swearing. That’s pure comedic gold
I find Jhon Cleese an extremely smart person.
Bruno Coutinho Of course he is, you can't be funny if you're not smart.
Paul Barthmaier Wrong : Sarah Palin does it very well... but unwittingly ! LOL
+Paul Barthmaier Two words; Karl Pilkington.
Shane Brennan Fair enough, but I can't help but wonder if that's not just his schtick.
The fuck are you on about? He's brilliant, in his own way.
Bill Maher and John Cleese!
Thank you for this video!
I'm Australian........and you're right uncle John!
John Cleese is a master
Remember when Christians, Jews and Atheists rioted about cartoons they didn't like?
Yeah me neither.
False equivalency. 84% of Egyptian Muslims believe leaving the religion should be punishable by death. 86% in Jordan, 76% in Pakistan, 51% in Nigeria, 28% in Indonesia. The numbers are almost identical for Muslims who believes gays should be killed and women should be stoned for adultery. You don’t find numbers anywhere NEAR these among Christian groups. Size does matter.
They weren't Christian, then. The bible is unequivocally against killing people now unless they have murdered someone. We are told to love even our enemies and that surely includes not crucifying them.
Life of Brian...
I think we can pretty much guess that they were not truly Christians if they are murdering people AND breaking the law to do it. The lack of compassion they showed towards their victim is another very good indicator that they were in their hearts non-believers.
Ronar Prefect
No true Scottsman fallacy.
JOHN CLEESE ~ Yeah,
He is The Best Of British Comedy 🇬🇧
'We should fight for Stan's right to have babies'
'What's the point, in fighting for his right to have babies if he can't have babies?'
'It's symbolic of our struggle against oppression,'
'It's symbolic of his struggle against reality,'
I used this in an academic paper on political correctness and its presence in comedy, got an A+ after pulling a double all-nighter
Hope you didn’t break your arm patting yourself on the back. 🤦🏻♀️
@@nunurbusinez8644 Thanks for the kind words, I can happily say it didnt but who knows, that may be subject to change if I'm ever feeling extra pompous.
I hope you didnt get a concussion from smacking yourself with that facepalm so hard.
@@ChronicTaxEvader thanks for your cuntcern but as it was an emoticon there’s really no need to worry. ♥️
Haven't agreed so much with a video, as I have with this one, in a long time.
I wish I could share this now. Please never remove this. Imagine sharing this on FB now.
Thank you 🙏
Love John Cleese. He cracks me up every time 😂
I like how you can see pieces of Carlin shining through Maher. Like the old age bit.
Another sad occasion where a thumbs up is not enough. Thanks, John!
what John Cleese said at the end was so great.
I’ve always giggled at JC he will never loose his English humour!
Jesus Christ was English?
John Cleese is the best
hahahahaha....piece of u over there, piece of u over here.....omg....I'm so gonna get in trouble repeating this joke....'tis brilliant!!!
1:40 I cried laughing. I would love John Cleese to tell me to F- off!
❤️
As a mexican (born and raised and living in México), I actually want to hear the joke...
What sport did the Mexican win gold at the Olympics ?
Fencing
Hahaha nice one! I mean our gold medalists used to be boxers and resistance athletes, you know, so they beat the crap out of the migra when walking through.
@@hallowedproductions3334..no..it was Pole Vault..!
Cleese is sharp as a fucking whip at 75! What a boss!
Wonderful to see "Old Faulty Towers" himself. Looks great!
Obviously this guy is right. Political Correctness starts out as a good idea, but turns into something absurd.
And by the way, Bill Mahr makes jokes about Mexicans all the time. About how they clean house or do yard work.
But if I was a mexican, I wouldn't be mad at all. If the stereotype is that I work hard, which it is, then that suits me just fine.
AKASales Or "The Troops"?
AKASales If you can make a joke about that I would like to hear it, doesn't sound very interesting to me however.
Americans make fun of Canadians all the time. Do we get pissed off? No. We're too busy working on the zinger of a comeback in our heads.
"This guy"? You do realise "this guy" is John Cleese?
I'm Mexican and I'm not mad. He once said: "there are more than a billion catholics... just in the back of my gardener's truck". Not a flattering stereotype but no harm done.

Woah..Bill Maher made John Cleese laugh, don't think he'll ever forget this day.
Breaking news, Ben Affleck had a stroke after watching this clip.
Yeah, but it killed him.
02:23 The moment when Bill Maher hoped he came up with that joke.
John Cleese is my hero!
John Cleese = Legend!
Nobody knows what’s actually going on. This is on the show that everybody pretends to know exactly what’s going on 😂
3:09 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome
John Cleese, what an absolute legend.
In today's society, comedy and comedians have become almost the last bastion for free speech. When I see the PC brigade going after comedians (eg Chapelle), this really makes my blood boil
Damn when he told that Muslim joke I laughed out loud but you could tell the audience immediately was uncomfortable and squeamish. Wow, that discomfort and PC has been indoctrinated into them to the point that it is now instinct. That's incredibly dangerous.
If people around the world love your country for it's humor, then you should be proud of it. Because humor is one of the fine arts, which connects the world.
John Cleese is amazing
Why can't the Muslims laugh at themselves like in US people laugh at jokes about 9/11? Like, here's one
Q: What was the last thing going through Mr. Jones’ head when he was working on the World Trade Center’s 90th floor? A: The 91st floor.
TheKEEEEEeK I don't think many people laugh at that... it's just that you can say it and not be beheaded for it.
+TheKEEEEEeK Hey fellow Nightcrawler fan!
+TheKEEEEEeK I chuckled at just how casually you introduced that- "Like, here's one" xDD
+TheKEEEEEeK Americans changed a scene from a friends episode after 9/11 because it involved them going through airport security :p
+TheKEEEEEeK a P.C freak would say your joke is sexist + racist !!
I liked it though :-)
Member when people were allowed to sit that close? I member
Pepperidge farm remembers.
“Comedy is about things not being right.”
So true! I heard this another way that comedy is all about asking the question, “What is wrong with this picture?”
Also, every Generation gets the comedians they deserve.. Sadly most of mine has gone, but Mr.Cleese is hanging on .. LEts look on the bright side shall we?
What a gifted comedian John Cleese is! He had me laughing out of my chair on this clip, and I'm fairly certain this is totally unscripted--just off the cuff!
I love these guys, the whole "political correctness" is an absurd illusion. In my country we love to make jokes about western countries and specifically our neighbors, but you will most certainly get arrested if you make joke about other nationalities, origin or "that" religion.
