I AM UNJUSTIFIABLY PROUD OF MY SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE RECIPE

YES, IT IS AN INCREDIBLY SIMPLE DISH

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL TO USE A PEPPERAMI INSTEAD OF MINCED MEAT

YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

more like BOLLOCKnese

*clapping and pointing* I KNOW WHAT THAT IS

has john cleese actually done anything funny recently or is he just one of those old ex-funny grifters who doesn't know how to say anything in public that isn't "I can't believe cancel culture has forced people to stop laughing at my jokes"

Definitely been the later for years and years at this point. Full disclosure I've not watched "Spud 3: learning to fly" or "Hold the sunset" but I am confident they sucked poo poo.

I'll always have a certain amount of affection for him because of, "A Fish Called Wanda" but he's been a cranky old dinosaur for years now.

gotta quibble with the grifter label because he very much earnestly believes he is smarter and funnier than you

You've done well, kiddo.
John Cleese is a misogynistic brexiter gammon oval office who constantly boo hoos about all his ex-wives taking his money.

Not sure if he has always been this way or if it is just since his brain turned to cheese. It certainly happened before he got a slot on loving GB news.

The rest of the old group thinks he's a dick as well iirc.

Cleese was the least funny of the whole group. There's a reason almost everyone else had much more successful careers than him afterwards and I think he's pretty bitter about it which is why he's turned into such a miserable bastard.

e: and also because he can't make racist jokes anymore on account of the woke mind virus

Yeah and then it turns out the nextdoor neighbour that befriends his widow was the one that ran him over. It's grim as gently caress.

ASK ME ABOUT LUMBER

one does get the impression that cleese always was a bit of a grumpy rear end in a top hat and that this was why he so often played grumpy assholes in skits and films. as one gets older and remains fairly hard up for cash despite having had a by all measures hugely successful career, i can see how that drives this kind of guy to become thoroughly reactionary

I didn't like the way that show ended. I'm a sucker for a redemption arc and I wanted him to have one day not being a miserable bastard and being nice to everyone before kicking it
