I love this guy, i also really like that he keeps looking back to Andy during conversation to not be rude. Some guests totally ignore him...
My thoughts exactly. Andy doesn't talk much, but when he does it's always pure gold! I wish the guests interacted with him more and he got the chance to talk more because he's seriously hilarious and underrated.
Completely agree, he's the best tv sidekick ever
+Jenny Thorson No I find him annoying. His joke wasn't funny.
+LoneSpartan It always bothered me when a guest has their back completely turned against andy for the whole interview- it's always nice to see someone who doesn't do that.
A true British gentleman ;-)
Wow she was born 1899 and died 2000. That's so impressive.
+huldu does that mean her life crossed three centuries or am i having a brain seizure
+ferry traveller You're seizure brain a having.
2 centuries,she passed from the 19th into the 20th and then one more time,from the 20th to the 21st :)
Her life was part of 3 centuries though?
They dont do that anymore but you can still get one if you send a letter asking for a letter if your not dead
my grandma was born in 1898 and died in 1999 too
She lived in three centuries and two millenniums. Not many people have ever been able to say that!
His delivery is perfect.
GripTightThin correct. British humor (sarcastic/ironic/dry) it is all about timing.
He's on a different level
He's the greatest comedian of all time.
Hey he's definitely had the time to perfect it
I agree. He would be a phenomenal UPS man.
Still hilarious at 76. We should all be so lucky.
+fidorover Most older guys I've met have been hilarious, probably because they stopped giving a fuck about what people think of them.
+fidorover Welp...the plan on my end is to do exactly the same....make people laugh and annoy the ones who complain...Cheers!!
+fidorover I just wanted to compliment you on your profile picture tell you how much I like it. That is all.
+fidorover
Hope he lives even longer than his mom
+ttlpwn34 Just that John stopped giving a fuck about 70 years ago.
you dont hear Andy laugh that hard too often...
clancy mclean I know right? I love it.
yeah there's a lot of hilarious guests who have been there like bill but i never saw andy laugh this hard...
That’s John Cleese man, he’s a legend.
He must be a fan of John Cleese himself. It's like watching someone you admired growing up sitting in front of you and cracking a joke. In such a case, I bet even the simples of jokes would make you laugh
I have a feel is a fan of dark humor and is little on depressing side himself
His comedic timing is flawless.
I was thinking the same thing.
Yeah it’s impeccable
@@randombutspecific this is the word i also thought of… impeccable.
Not only Conan but Andy... 🤣
product of a lifetime of being funny in front of an audience. it looks natural but you know that there's so much going on in his mind in this clip. the monty pythons are perfect.
Didn't expect to be cheered and moved as much in one anecdote.
+Zac Spearman ya sé quiero reír y llorar al mismo tiempo:):(
+Laura Garcia You are the sexiest woman I've ever seen. How about I take you out to dinner sometime?
+iluvkochikame creepy ass nigga
+Laura Garcia Hey how about that dinner we spoke about earlier?
Have you seen Cleese speaking at the memorial service for Graham Chapman? Here is a youtube link:
watch?v=Bm2XPkqENaw
I don't think i ever heard Conan and Andy laugh that hard. Cleese is a mastermind.
Conan and Andy seem to me to be the most sincere TV hosts at laughing. Maybe Seth Meyers when it's Amber and Jenny or one of his comedy friends from SNL days. Conan only has people on to have a good time, because it's TBS and nobody is watching.
conan has laughed harder with bill burr, but not andy. he was cracking up
Norm MacDonald, Bill Burr
Bill Burr, Norm MacDonald, Bill Hader.
You guys seriously can't hear the fake / forced laughter there? You know how you can tell? When the Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ah ah ah ah... ah... ah.. ahh.. ahh continue way too long.
Amazing British humour
+Blizsteronmyballsack british humour.
+Anthony Shenton YES...spot On!
+Blizsteronmyballsack English
+Skotoso England is a part of Britain.
Andy McAwesome Yeah, and so are Scotland and Wales.
I love how much Andy enjoyed the first joke.
I've been watching for years, that's the loudest Iv'e ever heard him laugh
ruclips.net/video/aOnfYB32CGo/видео.html at 0:15
Andy has been vocal about suffering from chronic depression for a large part of his life. (He has some great tweets about it.) Maybe this is why the joke resonated with him so much
P
his old british lady voice is hilarious!
he always plays the pepperpots in monthy phyton skit. actually, i suspect the pepperpots were modelled after his mum.
"Ooooh, I spent four hours burying the cat"
it's pretty impressive that his old lady british voice is exactly the same as it's been his entire career, if not better
For anyone not familiar with pepperpots, watch "How to irritate people."
It's funny that penguin being there, innit? What's it doing there?
Only John Cleese could make his mother's 50 year bout of depression absolutely hilarious. And the great thing is, it sounds like she would've loved this bit.
Righto sunny Jim
Full interview please, John Cleese is one of a kind, I love this guy!
+Shankovich Agreed.
Seconded.
Thirded
+Shankovich It's only a model.
Fourthed
I've never seen Conan genuinely laugh so much.
CK
That's because he has nothing short of the funniest man alive that mankind has brought up in the last 70 years as a guest.
Bill Burr, Bill Hader, Norm McDonald.... the list goes on man!
@@like10smurfs. Apparently not as funny.
Timothy Olyphant gets him going pretty good too.
You should have titled this, "John Cleese offers to help his mom" instead of ruining the punch line!
Jim Tiberius If you say so...In my opinion if they hadn't ruined the punch line I probably would have watched the video at least 2 more times being surprised at what he said, but meh.
+primeevil41 That could also be an awesome title for an incest porno.
Pepper Potts LMAO!
It was still hilarious
I certainly wouldn't watched without that title.
Look, I'm British, there are great comedians from here, a lot, no doubt but also plenty from the States. It's not because Cleese is British that he's this good. He's just one of the best of all time. We're all crap compared to him no matter where you are from. 76 and absolutely killing it like this! LEGEND.
Exactly. Several of his comedy heroes were British and several were American. He's funny because he's funny.
He said in another interview that he was pretty much inspired by US comedians in his youth. But that's the thing. As soon as you start to think internationally and shun borders thus freeing your mind, you can achieve real greatness. He is wonderful and Python wasn't just ahead of its time, it was out of time. I watched the life of Brian when I was a kid and thought that it was hilarious. Then I watched it as a teen and started to understand all the references and found it hilarious in a different way. Today when I rewatch it once in a while I admire the genius and think it is absolutely hilarious. This (amongst a lot of other works by the group) is sensational. It's silly in the best kind of way, it speaks to everyone and can be interpreted differently but still ends up being funny every time. I don't know what else to say: Chapeau!
Carr, Fry, Laurie, all hilarious British men, but the US has Prior, Carlin, Chappelle...
Funny is funny
To me, John Lithgow is the American Cleese. Which is to say erudite, tall, capable of great darkness and great glee, evervescent. Their careers have been very different, Cleese has rarely played villains, 3rd Rock From The Sun epitomises America's great 'gang comedy' charming sitcoms whereas Fawlty Towers epitomises the UK's 'one man against the others' exasperated sitcoms but Lithgow has a similiar statuesque bearing of command. Then there's Frasier, Friends , Seinfeld etc. These people are far from in Cleese's shadow. He just physically looms more and has that deliberately merciless, cold, Cambridge logic on occasion which polite American intellectuals tend to temper.
Rex4598 He also has a comedy history longer than the Bible, and has worked with all of the greats. He sometimes goes off track when he natters on about divorce and politics, but this man is a comedy giant. I can't think of an American comedian -- or a British one either, since Barker died -- who has his pedigree. while the others are puffing and panting to keep up ........................................................................................................................................................he's way out here.
I've never seen Andy laugh so much... John Cleese is an international treasure.
Good job Indiana Jones got him back from the Nazis.
@@JohnD640 That was Sean Connery not John Cleese.
@@aryansingh2459 Just a joke about him being looted in the war.
John Cleese have never failed to make me laugh!
+Eirik Hagen ...has...
+max doe He's not native to English.
+Swedish Otaku I think that's why he was trying to help him.
He still has that great sense of humor that he's had all these years. Love it!
*****
neither am I ;)
Cleese has grown his own armrest, which is actually pretty funny. He's earned it.
he's been doing that arms crossed position at least since "How to Irritate People" lol
I noticed a lot of people in the UK and Ireland do that because it's cold there, they get used to this gesture. I see this in Canadian people too sometimes.
Seeing as his mum lived to be 101, that's a hell of an achievement - and John needs to inherit his mother's luck, because we NEED this man for as long as possible!
Allot ppl id trade Graham Chappman for
Fortunately he's still with us in 2023 with a fascinating new chat show of his own! (GBN TV) 😻
John Cleese, what a fucking hero.
Once in a while I come back to this video. It's easily one of the greatest comedy bit ever. John Cleese is a treasure.
British comedians have an amazing ability to be simultaneously hilarious and emotionally poignant. Nobody does it better than John Cleese.
James Bond, surely?
Definitely. If you haven't seen his eulogy for Graham Chapman, look it up. Perfect example.
@@JohnD640 James Bond is not a real person 😅
@@fuckamericanidiot He's not much of a comedian either.
@@fuckamericanidiot Song reference...
"maybe some day I will." I am so using that line
Only John Cleese could tell a story about killing his depressed mother and make it sound wholesome. Love this guy.
"She said; You'll miss me when I'm gone. And who knows maybe I will some day"
Three years after this interview, I wonder if that day has arrived yet?
"My son's gonna have me stuffed!"
hey, that was a lovely tought. i would certainly love if my children stuffed me when i died and keep me at their home. well, unless i'm disowned them. or decided not to bring a child in this cruel and mad world.
That's even funnier considering the classical British insult - get stuffed :D
Reminds me of his speech at Graham Chapman's funeral.
That is a eulogy everyone should see
Nonsense. Good riddance!
I love that custard joke!
Funniest guy alive.
*has 337k subs*
*has 66 likes no replies*
Man, you're all over youtube. I see you on agadmator all the time
I wonder who's the funniest dead guy?
@@luckyloser9387 Well it'd be Norm Macdonald now, RIP
this video help's a lot for poeple dealing with personal issues, I want to thank you for cheering me up guys :)
+Alexandre Balthazart Great reply....Stay Strong! Cheers
Me to bud
so true
I hope good days will come for you and me
+Alexandre Balthazart Wish you the best on your plight maty boy..
Conan's laugh is hilarious
+Bahama Lynn Sawdin LOL...so is Andy's
***** go away...thanks!
+Foe Sodomin' Rotten Yea it's incredibly forced, so is Andy's. I'm sure they find what Cleese is saying to be funny but they are really hamming it up.
Pretty fake. Must suck not being able to tell. :)
+Dank Sidious Fallon should be absolutely embarrassed of his fake laugh. It's wretched. Absolutely awful.
"You'll miss me once I'm gone, maybe one day I will" I love this man
Very insightful. My Mum has been threatening to die for 50 years too. She specialises in the topic "The shortcomings of others". Unfortunately Jean (my Mum) doesn't have a black sense of humour but would enjoy being upset by any of the comments that John Cleese made. He is still, though, a fabulous guy and an inspiration to us all.
Bei den hartmanns
That precision f-bomb though. That's a laser guided f-missile.
I had tears in my eyes because I laughed so hard. He's hilarious.
I've never heard my dad laugh so hard of anything like he has been laughing over Fawlty Towers. Even though he has seen the episodes so many times.
When I found out Cleese was coming to make a show I immediately bought a pair of tickets to him as a Christmas present.
What a good son...
Sort of
British comedy for you. Best ever
This was so damn funny. His delivery is impeccable. A comedic genius! 😂
I took care of my grandmother, who had severe dementia. Was absolutely heartbreaking, I loved her so much.
She also had a really dark sense of humor.
We both did.
She asked me to have mercy and take her life so she wouldn't have to suffer anymore.
I said, "Aww... Okay."
And proceeded to lower a pillow over her face, while she looked on in terror.
I left it there for a second or two, lifted it off and gave her a big stupid grin, and we both cackled and hooted for about 2 minutes straight.
That laugh has kept me alive.
I miss you grandma, we'll be together again.
His comedic timing is perfect. He’s such a gentleman. Look up his sketches on extremism and his talk on censorship. You won’t be disappointed.
When someone misses their mom and crying but in the end, had to smile because John Cleese knows how to cheer you up... true example of laughter being the salve that prevents life's hardship from scarring us...
I don't know how many times I've seen this clip and it still gets me every time. I love John Cleese, but the best thing is I think this is the clip where Conan and Andy's laughter are the most sincere. You really get the feeling that they are loving having that particular guest there.
Godamn this dark humor is amazing.
John is such a fantastic guy - so is Conan! this video made me happy
"You're talking to someone, then you go up to get your custard, come back and he's dead."
The way he delivered that made me spray coffee all over my desk.
Man, I just love this guy's humor.
That custard joke really got me 😂😂
I remember reading this part in his autobiography, laughed as much as Conan did! Wickedly, wickedly funny man. A legend.
I've watched this clip many times. His delivery is perfect and I think it's the only comedian being interviewed that's made me proper belly laugh.
he truly is one of a kind, i mean there are legends in british comedy and comedy in general, but sir john cleese is true one of a kind.
That's the hardest I've ever heard Andy laugh. If you can make Andy laugh you know you're special, love it.
So insanely funny! Love Cleese. And I'm so glad I had the pleasure of meeting him once. Signed my complete box-set of Monty Python. Great guy! Hope he lives as long as his mom did so we can all enjoy him for years to come.
If the life expectancy is around 100, then I'd still have 60 more year of this crazy world. Scary thought right there.
samsung_s.three can u stfu. Ty
samsung_s.three No. Hell if my president is Donald Trump. Congratz! haha
NO WAY ARE YOU 40.
You're looking good. Hit me up if you want a child
*****
Why do I want to make a child with a child? Also, being a mom makes you old faster. Now go downstairs and give a hug and thanks to your mom for sacrificing her youth look for having you
*****
I don't know why you would presume I'm a child from me making a stupid joke...
Being frivolous brings forth great bliss.
You didn't need to disclose the effects of childbirth, you know purely what i meant.
Don't be so rigid c:
Talking about your dead mother and making people laugh for 5 minutes straight. Without it feeling forced or awkward even a little.
Truly, a legend.
Legendary.
For any Americans watching who are unfamiliar with John Cleese… he is a pioneer of British and dare I say, world comedy… absolute national treasure! Go and watch more of his work he’s a powerhouse…
Please do a Serious Jibber Jabber with him! That'd be so awesome!
I second that, it would be magnificent!
Did you hear him on the nerdist podcast?
+TeamCoco please make it happen.
+Meeny McSweeny Great call!
+Meeny McSweeny Yes! Just yes!
I've never seen Conan and Andy laugh so much at and with a guest. It's going to be a dark day when John leaves
“Who knows? Maybe I will some day!” ….beautiful.
he still maintains the great british humor even at his age
I love when he talks about his mum lol
Cleese is not only a comedy genius,but an extremly intelligent man.He has certainly enriched my life in a mayor way.deep respect!
You almost never hear Conan and Andy laugh as much or as hard as they do here
I love the way he looks over his shoulder when everyone laughs
Conan is such a natural and funny host. Cleese is a legend.
A true comic genius. A legend, for sure. :)
So, so funny. A perfect way of addressing that weird mixture of love and frustration that lives in family relationships.
haha! i love when conan laughs the most... he's awesome
One of the funniest interviews I've ever seen on any late night talk show.
That mom did a great job, thanks kind lady, rest in peace.
to make something so good out of pain.. is just golden.. incredibly precious...
0:56 I think that's the hardest I've ever heard Andy laugh lol
I love how much Andy enjoyed John Cleese. You can tell he’s a fan
Man i never heard Andy laugh so much , John's dark humor combined with the perfect timing is hilarious
He is my favorite person in the world! He has always been the answer to the question, "if you could have lunch with anyone living or dead who would it be?"
Omg, that Andy Richter laugh tho.
A true comic Genius! John has inspired so many people! I guess we all owe his mother's sense of humour to his comedic accolades. It has to begin somewhere. Lol
loved the whole interview
I love how hard Conan and Andy laugh in this.... so awesome
Two of my comedy idols. Love it.
this guy is so good had to watch this vid twice
“you go up and get ya custard come back and he’s dead” 🤣 haven’t laffed like that in 4ever …needed that 😭
I love how John turns to Andy to make sure he’s laughing hahaha
Every time I hear his voice I hear The King from Shrek 2
"The King", from Shrek 2, was voiced by John Cleese.
Hedgpig I know.
In the movie _Shrek 2_, the character of the The King is voiced by celebrity John Cleese.
+Hedgpig Fun fact here: John Cleese voiced the king from the popular DreamWorks sequel film "Shrek 2".
+Robert Fella Believe it or not John Cleese is english...
and he did indeed voice
the king in shrek 2
0:52 Who else thinks Conan's laugh sounds like the one at the end of Michael Jackson's Thriller? 😂
Andy is such a great laugher
The delivery is so expertly done. What a legend.
I watch this weekly to cheer up.
How are you
I really wish the title of the video was different so the punchline would be an absolute fucking shock.
Whenever I’m feeling a bit down this week, I pop this video on, get killed with laughter by John, and have a good day. 💙
Somehow, in a roundabout way, this was quite heartwarming.
A god among men.
he's totally the dude, man.
+Josh McCotter He really tied the room together.
+ZombryaTheDark This aggression will not stand, man.
Jeff Bridges Am I to create the perfect system?
I'm so happy to see John Cleese is still hilarious in his 70s! :)
i once lost my humor when i got older, behind the couch near the loafer
If you're laughing you're not dead yet.
Truly one of the funniest people to ever live and a complete professional. Love John Cleese.
I just saw John Cleese on tour tonight and he was stellar AND told this story. Laughed just as hard as hearing it on Conan
So the point I came away with was that Cleese's mother wanted stuffing ...?
Well I can imagine getting any kind of action in an old folk's home must be terribly difficult.
My mother still says that to me you’ll miss me when I’m gone and I’m only 23 and she also has a dark sense of humour too haha
absolutly adore this mans way of making laughter a living legend
How many people over the millennia can say they lived through 3 centuries?? Amazing and very very very rare.
OMG John and coco together
wooooooo :D
