“Wokeness” has a disastrous impact on EVERYTHING!
True that, and the only time it seems like famous people speak up about it is when it directly impacts them professionally. Then they're passionate, but if it affects your world and not theirs, crickets...
What is wokeness to you?
@the tilitus you know full well what she means or should I say he I dunno 🤷♀️ I’m confused lol 😂
I'm so grateful for comedians fighting for Free Speech.
Wokeness has a disastrous impact on everything.
It has a disastrous impact on everything.
@Donald Trumpushki
These responses have changed my mind about censorship 😂
@Donald Trumpushki
😫
Spot on John. I am 84 and nothing offends me about humour except any left and woke political stuff. Woke has killed everything.
He wanted to cancel 45. Now the shoe is on the other foot and he's concerned for himself. Too bad.
Great to hear from John Cleese.
Nobody has made me laugh more than him!
These wokesters are inhumanly boring.
Inhuman? I was always raised to be compassionate towards others and respect their wishes. This is basic human behavior to me. If people don’t want me to use a certain phrase, it is petty for me to whine about having to be correct. Being nice to others should be second nature. People just look for excuses to be cold hearted and crass towards others.
He is right everyone is so busy taking offence, to relax a bit.
They take away joy, happiness, amusement, laughter right along with it, as their evil plot to spread their cancerous darkness far and wide continues...
A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, 'You are mad; you are not like us.
-St. Antony the Great
WOW! I never read that! Soooooo true today! (Mike drop for you, Sir!)
Bless John Cleese,83 years old and makes more sense than Biden ever has!!!!And hes LIBERAL strangely
Why is cleese in Epstein's blackbook
Wokeness is the absence of a sense of humor, foresight, and logic.
Or just not wanting to be a REEEEEpublican.
@@polygraphliedetector
Wokeness is just one big Waaaah!!!! fest!!!!
@Roger Murphy
bernie bros are cowards
@Roger Murphy and yet you are the one typing like that and no one else lmao. Projection card denied, coward
Years ago we watched Cleese and his pals do a scene in “Life of Brian” in which one of the main characters, Stan, declares “I want to be a woman.” We laughed at the complete absurdity of that scene.
Now we’re living that absurdity.
We also now expect people to be canceled or drug through the mud for pointing out the absurdity.
@@AstanaxKnight Yes, and you'll _still_ be dragged through the mud even if you publicly apologize (even worse for you if you do that).
Not to mention the lumberjack song.
"But you haven't got a womb... Where's the foetus going to gestate?" is as funny, and way-more relevant, today as it was 45 years ago, and I feel like saying it if ever I'm unfortunate to get involved in an uncomfortable (for everybody involved...) conversation on this ludicrous topic.
By the way, I personally identify as a Willow tree and simply had to deal-with the fact that I can't grow leaves or produce any pollen at an early age without insane laws, rallies/riots or support groups and move-on with getting a life and paying my way in this World so please don't cancel me...
Or call a Lumberjack.
Its called freedom.. Hard to live with? Or do you need limitations?
The Legendary John Cleese. I grew up on "The Fawlty Towers." If you know, you know... 😂💪🏾🔥👍🏾🤣
"That's Brahms! Brahms's third racket!"
@@clavichord Basil!
Great leaders are great listeners that rely on empathy when they speak. These are qualities that AOC has. *AOCforPresident*
Don't mention the war.
I still love the Göbbels Salad !
This is why they say "respect your elders." John Cleese nailed it. Simple things being missed by apparent simpletons, lol.
No it isn't. Some old people say, "Respect your elders..." because they want respect whether they have earned it or not. What Cleese says or does reflects on him, not on everyone around his age.
It's great to see you, John. Thank you and the rest of the crew for Monty Python. I still watch it and cry with laughter😉😉👍👍
Thanks for the love and support 🌹🌹
The 2022 midterms: And now, for something completely different.
Love the John Cleese and his outrageous humour over the years....
It has already caused huge cracks in our strength and ability to be a great nation
That's Republicans.

One of the {{{FUNNIEST}}} men of the 20th century!!!
21st and I didnt know this man was until now and he is awesome and patriotic!
John Cleese… a king of comedy and humour and a true legend.
it's good to see how well John Cleese still looks; after all these years.
and he aint reading a teleprompter.
@@redbullwithoutapause7835 *badly reading a teleprompter without any concious awareness of what the words he sees relate to in any way...
@@therogers4432 Repeat the line.
Repeat the line.
Still watching episodes of Monty python and Fawlty towers, thanks John.
I will always love John Cleese. Such a funny man.
Hi there how're you doing today?
Thanks for the love and support 🌹🌹
Comedic genius.
Labeling a Conservative event 'freedom' hahah what a joke
@Donald Trumpushki
John Cleese! I was lucky to live in the times with him on tv !! was lay back no-one feeling were not hurt. Us kids back in the days were tuff
Don't put music over someone talking.
if they want woke comedy, watch the disney channel.
Fox sold itself to Disney, lol.
'Whatever you do don't mention the war'
John Cleese: “I started this? What do you mean *I* started this? You!! You were the one who started the war! You invaded Poland!”…. classic line from Faulty Towers by hotelier Faulty to German guests.
Is it just me, or could everyone out in TV land understand every word John just spoke? Joe Biden needs to take lessons from John! Never could understand the British slang, but as time has gone by, I am getting better at it. Couldn't understand Benny Hill at all, but the actions were very funny. At 63 it's always nice to know John is still out there. Nice to see you again John Cleese! Thanks. Dan from Nebraska 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🤍💙🇺🇸
That's cause Benny Hill talked with marbles in his mouth. Normal british people don't speak that way.
John Cleese is hilarious. There is something very wong with the world where people have lost thier sense of humor so much. Laughter is a release and in this crazy world we need that sometimes to get through it all.
Well said!
as the minister of silly walks, i heartily concur
I adore John he’s a British institution and has amazing whit and comedy
@Donald Trumpushki why do you make comments on a Fox video? Because nobody pays attention to CNN. Cry harder, troll. 😄
A legend amongst legends
Does anyone remember when he did psa style things for a philosophical society on college radio. He is a smart man.
Cleese was great in A Fish Called Wanda. 😆
There’s a difference between being creative and being raunchy
Interesting that he pilled on with a level of vitriol towards Trump without the dry humor he showed with Python . A very woke fit in kind of way . The awakening of the lack of humor among the woke folk . Some what surprised he given his experience in the field in England in the 60's that it took this long to see the humorless crowd should be the ones rediculed . Glad to see him return to the principles that made him famous .
I would really like to know WHY he adores Colbert. He was funny once upon a time, but he's gotten so woke and political, its just nauseating to watch.
I've always loved John Cleese, he's so funny...Monty Python is still a favorite of mine, but when he spoke about the fact that you didnt used to be able to say certain things, or use some words...that was in the UK. In the US in the 70s and 80s, not only did comedians say anything they wanted, but the more outlandish the content, the more popular they became. Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, George Carlin...now its rare to find a comedian who just lays it on the line for the sake of GOOD comedy like Dave Chapelle and Bill Burr
Cleese is a great comedian, and a defender of freedom of speech and freedom of thought. A hero.
John Cleese the man has class, what can i say, God Bless England and God Save the Queen, he is 100% right, and am not even English
His crumb catcher ran away 😂
Steve Bannon: era of easy money is over, it's game over for USA economy. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
It also appears that for Bannon the days of easy money are over. Like the Fund the Wall scam, where grifted millions from the most loyal of Trump supporters went into his pockets.
Bring FREEDOM back!!!!!
Conservatives forgot what it was when they tried to overthrow the government and tell women how to have children.
I grew up watching Benny Hill and Threes Company. Best years of my life!
It was a pleasure to meet with Mr Cleese at the Bakersfield Business Conference in 2004.. A man who is genuine both on stage and off..
I love how they let him talk without interrupting.
Yup.
^THIS^
You had me up until Colbert. Sorry, I’m fresh out of Colbert at the moment.
Yes I took the risk already and he makes it to my expectations ☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽 you are really the best of all
John Cleese is very intelligent ❤
You don't get into Cambridge University if you're stupid, no matter how rich or influential your parents are...
Life of Brian that upset a few woke clowns 🤡 John remember it well 😂😂😂
Always the man.
Woke is known as the graveyard of ambition.
He must hate treating everyone with respect lol
Hate?
@@PeterKKraus thank you
Could not agree more
We all need laughter, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!
Good to see you're still around. And that's no joke.
$@t@n hates laughter
He wants sadness, grief, anger and fear.
Good on you John 😃
He can see it, so too can we. We have allowed the lowest in society to rise to the top. We allowed this to happen out of kindness. You now see what happens when they are in charge. The evil that is spreading now, must be stopped.
Shrek 2 is on in my house right now lol I had to click and watch this video
"Smart Man" .... he just explained Ricky Gervais ...
The man who knew all gov’t power would one day belong to the Dep’t of Funny Walks.
Silly Walks, that is.
@@FIREBRAND38 we’re divided by a common language. My car doesn’t have a boot or a bonnet.
That was great!
What a shame to hear John Cleese say he adores Stephen Colbert! I agree that Colbert was very funny before he became a late-night TV host, but his beat-them-over-the-head remarks in that forum have been nothing but hate-filled rants against people whose political opinions are different from his. That's when I stopped watching him. The other two or three late-night hosts did the same thing when Democrats were in power and kept a drumbeat of Trump bashing when they weren't. Surely John Cleese would agree that isn't creative. As a result, it's simply not funny either.
King Harold!
Yeah be kind to people...
Well it is a way to white wash and sterilize everything. Which is always going to clash with biodiversity.
3:30 "Adores" Colbert? Well, there's no accounting for taste.
John Cleese = A LEGEND.
Well said cleese
Train yourself to take nothing personally.
Don't forget to watch the J6 hearing tonight. Be in the know.
Comedy with intent to make people laugh at our indiscretions, our weaknessess to make us feel we are all in this together, but sadly comedy has become weoponized with targeted motive for some corrupt young comedians who think they are funny.
This is true. I see thing’s from your opinion too
So true, RUclips search this title...Word Association - Saturday Night Live
Wow wise analogy from a very talented Brit! 👻
Thanks for the compliment. It’s all facts
The MISUSE of wokeness has ruined comedy. People, companies and organizations have really shifted or have reset their way of thinking and doing business which I don't think this Administration has control over anymore. A New Order has began.
Wokeness has no good use to be misused.
@@ginnymurray1869 The original meaning of wokeism which is an alert to racial prejudice and discrimination has use or is important but it has been misused and politicized.
This week in duh news… special Ed joke, cancelled! Anything that hurts someone’s feelings except red heads. They are still fair game
Thank The Lord...
As my dear old Uncle used to say: "Rusty roof, dirty cellar..."
One thing I disagree with is if you make fun of R's I will be upset. I make fun of R's and D's all the time.
but wokeness is a much nicer word than idiocy....
Like all things, comedy evolves. He's making great points. But it does come off a little like "in my day...". Loved him on Will and Grace.
Well if you can't come up with any material that's funny & acceptable by the Woke crowd then you could always insult someones wife in front of them & get an Oscar just for being slapped
But she wasn't being insulted. She was being flattered. She is too old to portray a GI Jane. Lol
Congress just passed bill to expand NATO :
1. 18 Republicans voted no.
2. All Democrats voted yes
Cheesey is no more liberal than Ted Cruz or Josh Hawley. He blows with whatever wind he thinks is in vogue.
Only if you let it......
I love Cleese
"I'm offended!" is the rallying cry of an entire group of people. I weep for the future: softest generation in history reaching adulthood now.
I think this is one of the reasons there are many older British comedians who moved to the US because of the First Amendment, which they don’t have in the UK.
Yup.
^THIS^
From a Brit who would move to the US in a heartbeat if Trump was still Leader Of The Free World.
Rubbish.
All you need to do: At the entrance to the club screen everyone to make sure they are not a WOKE NUT! Or put a large sign outside the club NO WEAK WOKE NUTS ALLOWED TO ENTER!
As a Christian it is part of the fulfillment of the end times. Very soon the false god will state his abominations in Jerusalem will begin, let them all rise to their judgment by God!
No one! ...is to stone ...anyone!
until I... blow this whistle...
even if...and i want to make this absolutely clear!
even if they do say Jehova!
John must have been telling a hilarious and raunchy story about Terry Jones..
hence the silence..
Mr cleese! There ARE great comedies being written! They just aren't being produced,, because the people with the $ are humorless!
Anyone else miss when comedians just got criticized for not being funny?
Wing woke is the opposite of Joe.
Holy crap, he looks more frail here than the last time I saw him in an interview. His look has changed that's for sure.
It's called aging and is a natural process. It will happen to you also, like it or not.
I love you! The knight that says nit I'll go fetch you a shrubbery!😂😂😂💪💋💗💯
Thanks for the comment
Somehow he's got much more visual gravitas without his tache.
Discovered Monty Python in the mid 70's.....took a little bit to tune my mind to their style of comedy . Once I did they were awesome. As leftist as I'm sure the cast members were then and still are today they wouldn't be allowed now.
Comedy great right there
