Flat Earth Society - a global movement :-)
ОтветитьJohn talks about a point in history that has come around today.
ОтветитьThere was a time some 40 years ago as a boy gradually absorbing all that PBS had to offer. Seems to have gone from beyond to understood to irritating to watch because of lack of preparation and research. So much praise in these comments for a Nebraska boy that seemed so desperate to be respected by the New England intelligentsia.
ОтветитьI almost never looked at these comments because i thought most of them would make reference to the height difference, which i find cheap and pathetic. (I'm talking about the difference of well over a foot, perhaps a foot and a half.) You get that sort of thing so often—the moment the host shakes hands with the guest eclipses the hour-long talk that follows. Surprisingly, there's no mention whatsoever of the diminutive Cavett looking like a boy being taken to his first day at school by his dad. My faith in humanity has been restored.
ОтветитьAnd let’s not forget The Firesign Theatre.
ОтветитьI really didn’t think he was gonna mention Biggus Dickus when he was going over the characters, and then he just glossed over it and the audience didn’t laugh, they didn’t know what was so funny about the name Biggus Dickus
ОтветитьCleese is superb.
ОтветитьThoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you from Sydney, Australia.
ОтветитьPython sucks
ОтветитьBrilliant discussion! So intelligent and funny!
ОтветитьZero to cringe in 20 seconds. Nobody beats Dick Cavett at awkwardness.
ОтветитьUnder all the wit and intelligence of Cavett lurked an insidious liberal cosmopolitan 🤔
ОтветитьThe movie does not make fun of Christ, much less the teachings. Many cultural critiques and challenges were and are dismissed, degraded and intentionally taken out of context. Love has allways been difficult.
ОтветитьHis joke about how we cannot try and not offend flat earthers aged like fine wine. Back then who would have imagined such idiots would actually try and be taken seriously today.
ОтветитьSo it's always been like this, only now is more amplified and weaponized.
ОтветитьThese two are fun and entertaining to listen to
ОтветитьCleese picking at his fingers was disrtacting buti it was a good interview.
ОтветитьIs this just me being weird but you never see the interviewer on the left with the interviewee (if that’s a word) on the right……🤔
ОтветитьCavett has a brilliant sense of humour...it's Dick's dry delivery that is often over most peoples heads. Marvelous!! And thank you to Mr. Cleese. You're genius is unsurpassed. WOW!!! 1979. John was just turning 40. In his prime for sure. Thanks, from Tim in Ontario, Canada.
ОтветитьCavett is always a year or two behind the times and quite the dullard as far as interviews go. Really obvious questions, old points of view...juts a really old man, even when he was 30.
ОтветитьExplaining the Peter Principle, named for Professor Parkinson. Everyone gets promoted to their level of incompetence (well, unless you push back of course)
ОтветитьCleese's comments about offending people are more relevant than ever.
ОтветитьAll this was before Kazantzakis book was turned into the the movie "The last temptation of Christ". Caused quite the stir iirc
ОтветитьThis is what an interview show should be like. Michael Parkinson should have been taking notes. Cavett was a master of his craft, and it really was a serious craft for him.
ОтветитьFlying circus was the name of a pop combo in Australia in the 70s
ОтветитьJohn Cleese is very funny, especially in Fawlty Towers, but as for Monty Python, I can take it or leave it. Maybe it's difference between the British senso of humor and ours, but it just wan't that funny to me.
ОтветитьSo, why is there what looks like a penis that has been run through a pencil sharpener complete with balls in the corner, is that an FU to all of us?
Ответитьits funny, he said it would be sad; men dressed as chickens in their old age. they did a special python show at the O2 venue in their old age. it was nt sad it was excellent.
ОтветитьCleese was one of the best comedians of all time and 100% British. Later he would loose the comic spark
ОтветитьSo relevant bow
ОтветитьBloody BRILLIANT!

John Marwood Cleese (Somerset, 27 de octubre de 1939) es un actor y comediante británico, conocido por haber sido uno de los seis miembros del grupo cómico Monty Python.
ОтветитьWhen I took the Advanced Placement English exam I was required to defend something controversial. I chose to defend this movie since I said it was not about religion but about the environment at 33 AD. So I got the top score 5 even though I had not actually seen the movie but I just heard a lot about it.
ОтветитьThe fact that they eventually started parodying each other is the most brilliant shit I've ever heard
ОтветитьSimply wonderful. Two of our funniest and most intelligent entertainers.
Ответить"So many touchy people get offended by MP, but what do you guys think of, say, US preachers on TV?" "Punishable!"
ОтветитьFunny how Cleese moves his chair such that he looks even larger in relation to the diminutive Cavett. It's as if he's about to envelop him.
ОтветитьMy, how the "perpetually offended" switched from the right to the left since then... Any time a conservative tries to speak at a US campus it's canceled by threats or you need 100 cops
ОтветитьI find the Dick Cavett Show the only American interview programme worth watching.
ОтветитьI'm halfway through this and I have to say as entertaining as it is there ARE some parts that are depressingly relevant even today!
ОтветитьOne of the Monty Python was American.
ОтветитьOne of the big parts they cut was Otto the Nazi Jew. One of the most important bits of footage looking at the world today. Astonishing to say the least.
ОтветитьI'm offended
ОтветитьThe left back then was about freedom of speech. About questioning and mocking everything, especially those in power.
Look at them now.
Two very funny and intelligent men...thanks for this
