I love Monty Python but this is still hilarious. The John Cleese was so shockingly accurate I wouldn't bat an eye if he said and did EXACTLY THAT in a real interview.
That Terry Jones impression is absolutely brilliant. And it's also nice that they filmed the Manuel bit using old fashioned film like all outdoor shots were done in those days. Makes it look and feel so much more like Fawlty Towers really was.
Harry and Paul really excelled in making fun of other shows/comedians. It shows that they had the courage to make fun of everybody not just the typical easy targets for comedy shows.
Oh my god, these guys have so much talent. Ive always loved watching them. Harry Enfield was my first favorite comedian. His John Cleese there was dead on.
1:45 Holy fuck that punch was pure Cleese! That's the mark of a great impressionist, getting right the tiny little details that we normally wouldn't notice but which our subconscious nevertheless associates with the character. Just like Baldrick's funny little flat way of turning that Whitehouse does so well in the Blackadder parody.
Who are you thanking? This Channel that robs the clips and puts them up on RUclips? Or do you think Harry Enfield is perusing all the comments on illegal videos?
I some how missed this when I was younger my god it's so clever witty impression are top class on everyone. Totally different from first couple of series
Brilliant ! These two just keep coming up with new, ingenious and hilarious stuff. I haven't finished laughing at the Irish and English horse trainers, now this !
I know they're all supposed to be charactures and not generally trying to imitate, in an almost Vic and Bob kind of way, but you could almost believe that was John Cleese.
@@alleespach For what it's worth, I thought Whitehouse was being more Idle than Palin. I didn't get Idle from Enfield at all. I'm not a huge fan of 'Monty Python' so I couldn't remember which Pythons were in the original sketch for reference.
Incredibly clever. I bet Terry Jones and Michael Palin loved it but I doubt if John Cleese did. I remember an interview with John Cleese where he said that he hated the way some comedians had a catch phrase which they used at every opportunity, with the audience cracking up every time they said it. Things like "It's the way I tell 'em" (Frank Carson), or "Shut that door" (Larry Grayson) or "Can you hear me, mother?" (Sandy Powell). But he certainly milked "He's from Barcelona".
Perfectly captures the arrogance of John Cleese. I remember back in the day he kept popping up in American sitcoms. The yanks must have rated him ????????
George Donaldson John Cleese was one of the most talented. People don’t like him now because he’s right of centre politically and there’s a lot of fanatics about who feel they should un-person anyone who isn’t the same as them
Cleese actually took part in a Party Political Broadcast for the Liberal Party many years ago. Now I think he is just anti woke. The guy is a god of comedy by the way and anyone who says otherwise is a child.
I remember the last series of Python. It was awful. They used all their usual tricks and they didn't work, and it kind of diminished what had gone before. So disappointed. Spot on parody. I imagine the writers of this thought similarly
Funny how the Parrot sketch was actually a copy of an old Benny Hill sketch called the Taxidermist but Cleese oddly claims to have not seen it though you'd think that Cleese surely always wanted to keep abreast of the top comedy at the BBC where he aspired to work in comedy himself and wouldn't have missed an episode.
I Wish l could find the skit they made involving dropping LSD with Jimmy Hill somehow being involved.Having a stab basically at the banality of football punditry.Hard one to locate but one of their very best.
There’s something rather special about having the insight into previous comedy heroes and then parodying them. Made all the more realistic by the use of subtle nuances used unsubtly.
2:03 Is it just me or were streets WAY better back then? That just looks so awesome. I bet if you took a pic of that same street now it would look shit. Less people too I bet (forget COVID lets say a pic from 2018). Less hustle and bustle and noise (you'd think it would be the other way around but its not) and well less LIFE.

As Cleese “I mean the arrogance of these people”. Catches his essence with one line. Genius.
OI! enfield NO!! Cleese IS funnier .. methinks professional jealousy ..ya bitch ! . lol hohohoho ha ha .
Ah it doesn't does it?!!! You don't say!
That was a bloody good John Cleese! As he is now.
Harry and Paul - I mean the arrogance of these people! 😅
But otherwise not funny.
@@pizzaboy3946 you are notfunny in the carsie

That was the best John Cleese impression I have ever seen.

Even the laugh, it’s incredible
don't blaspheme
Don’t forget allah and buddha 😉
and 1:38 the voice is so accurate i'm not sure if it's an impersonation
Harry and Paul really excelled in making fun of other shows/comedians. It shows that they had the courage to make fun of everybody not just the typical easy targets for comedy shows.
I loved the shot at Fawlty Towers.
Oh my god, these guys have so much talent. Ive always loved watching them. Harry Enfield was my first favorite comedian. His John Cleese there was dead on.
the laugh!!
Spot on Terry Jones.
That John Cleese has got to be the best impression I’ve seen from Enfield
His gay dad impression is brilliant.
That john cleese impression killed me, Wish Harry was on tv more these days
He is, he plays Prince Charles on the Royals
" yearned for more sophisticated comedy" 😂
Yearn for twats not to post quotes.

Huge fan of Python, but this is excellent nonetheless. Especially Cleese.
Nice Terry Jones impression, bless his memory.
I love Monty Python and am a big fan of these guys too. If people can't take a joke they've missed the point of comedy.
TrephineArtist: Best comment yet.
I don't get you - who is not taking a joke?
@@domoreilly9877 Funny how people get annoyed at someone they invented just to get annoyed at
@@grahamwinston3692the net is full of them. Invented to be offended, when nobody objected in the first place.
'If people can't take a joke they've missed the point of comedy'! A tautology if ever there was one lol 🥸
Warmed up Monty Python! Still as good as it's ever been.
That singular Cleese laugh is spot on hahaha
Spot on impression of some shelves.
I some how missed this when I was younger my god it's so clever witty impression are top class on everyone. Totally different from first couple of series
The Manuel impression was also very great
The last joke made me snort so hard into my coffee I scalded myself. Great stuff.
haha :)
Simon Schama; excellent parody!
And the voice was spot on
that john cleese impression was bloody perfect
Harry and Pauls 'story of the two's' up there with the funniest thing that's ever happened.
It's a masterpiece. 1 clav divs with frankie howerd 😂😂😂
where can I download it?
That was so good I even found it offensive, which perfectly captures the spirit of Monty Python!
i love it because they are the only ones who are annoyed by all the things im annoyed by, theyve been my saviours since 1990
Fawlty Towers is classic. But this parody made me laugh far harder.
Equally
That Cleese was excellent.
Brilliant !
These two just keep coming up with new, ingenious and hilarious stuff.
I haven't finished laughing at the Irish and English horse trainers, now this !
This is surely illegal, its so savage! Brilliant
So Harry and Paul have been running the entire British comedy caper for the last half century? Bounders!
Well fuck me dead! Brilliant. Especially the self-importance of Cleese
Good work. How do they always manage to be so funny.
I know they're all supposed to be charactures and not generally trying to imitate, in an almost Vic and Bob kind of way, but you could almost believe that was John Cleese.
They got nearly the whole of fawlty towers into 6 seconds
Loved the reference to the lumberjack sketch
Perhaps it was deliberate, but Enfield's Eric Idle was more like Harold Steptoe and Whitehouse's Palin was a very good Dudley Moore!
Isn't that supposed to be Graham Chapman rather than Eric Idle? Yes, Chapman had a deeper and more pompous voice, but he was the blond one, not Idle.
@@alleespach yeah but it looks and acts like Idle
@@alleespach For what it's worth, I thought Whitehouse was being more Idle than Palin. I didn't get Idle from Enfield at all. I'm not a huge fan of 'Monty Python' so I couldn't remember which Pythons were in the original sketch for reference.

Idle's hair was mousy-brown to blonde back in the day? Or was it just the old cameras?
I've never enjoyed a history lesson so much!
0:16 this right there is a spot on John Cleese impression! I bet if he saw this he pissed himself laughing.
Brilliant piss take, especially the Simon Smarmer and Cleese.
😩 ALLO, i'd like to buy one please!
😬 erm I'm very sorry we haven't got any!
That is too funny and accurate😂
No one takes the piss like Harry!
Harry capturing the pomposity and arrogance of Cleese perfectly.
“We’ll keep reviving it for the rest of the show”
Bit rich coming from Harry and Paul
Paul is looking old. He always had a old face when he was younger, but it's very apparent now. Great comedian though. And a great actor.
Stop it. This is silly. I can´t stop laughing.
Incredibly clever. I bet Terry Jones and Michael Palin loved it but I doubt if John Cleese did.

Yes, I can see why he hated catch phrases. And now for something completely different...
@@stephenderry9488 very good :)
His Simon Schama is unreal
Cleese was fucking perfect.
“COME HERE YOU STUPID RACIAL STEREOTYPE” - I love Fawlty Towers but this is basically the entire show isn’t it
The guests were always a good foil to Basil and Manuel, except in that one episode when they didn't have any and it was Sybil's friends.
It was also a farce with some genuinely clever set ups
Perfectly captures the arrogance of John Cleese. I remember back in the day he kept popping up in American sitcoms. The yanks must have rated him ????????

I love the feces on Manuel's platter.
My problem is theyre parodying people that did better work than they ever did
You're a bit of a comedian yourself with that comment! hahaha. Inspired...!
They did way more pretentious rubbish than quality stuff
I love how most fans have taken Harry n Paul’s satires in good spirits…
All except The Office fans who get so upset?!
Anyone who thinks Gervais is funny hasn't got a sense of humour!
The Fawlty Towers (flowery twats) part was my favorite.
Harry Enfield plays Harry H Corbett🤣👍
goodness, his cleese looks a bit of inspector grim from the thin blue line
Fantastic mimicry from these two.
Harry Enfield's John Cleese is flawless
Brutally true though
I remember the last series of Python. It was awful. They used all their usual tricks and they didn't work, and it kind of diminished what had gone before. So disappointed. Spot on parody. I imagine the writers of this thought similarly
I agree. The last series fell completely flat, with the exception of the last episode. The "Most Awful Family in Britain" sketch still kills me!
@@crazysnarfy861
The Series 4 episode about the war is almost watchable- the rest, though, utter crap!
Didn't think much of the Palin - it just seemed to be Paul Whitehouse doing himself - but the Cleese impression was brilliant.
Brilliant.
Love Python! Love this too! :D
This is good!!!
Cleese perfect
Nice to see someone mocking Python. I have always thought they were ridiculously overrated.
Brilliant John Cleese and all the rest.
Some people seem to be missing the point when they slag off Python. This is both a parody AND an homage. Without them this sketch doesn’t happen.
It's Ike when not the 9 o'clock news did the two ninnies (ronnies).
brilliant...
Funny how the Parrot sketch was actually a copy of an old Benny Hill sketch called the Taxidermist but Cleese oddly claims to have not seen it though you'd think that Cleese surely always wanted to keep abreast of the top comedy at the BBC where he aspired to work in comedy himself and wouldn't have missed an episode.
Oh, so that's why I'm so small. Funny, I don't remember having it done.
It was very brave to spoof Python, but they did it very very well indeed.
Dunno if anybody caught it but that's a pretty good Simon Schama
Ah that Terry Jones is fantastic.
Hahaha ! Never forget Terry explaing that Jesus was a " VERY naughty boy ".
They were referred to as the ' half of bitter brigade ' by Johnny Speight in ' Steptoe '
Galton and Simpson, you mean
I don't know who transcribed the closed captions but they were either thick as a plank or a comic genius...
I Wish l could find the skit they made involving dropping LSD with Jimmy Hill somehow being involved.Having a stab basically at the banality of football punditry.Hard one to locate but one of their very best.

Python gets Pythonned

That arm fold that John Cheese-Shop-Sketch does is more John Cleese than John Cleese is.
