An Understanding of Class.

Matzat broke an entire nations kayfabe for this, that's how important Cleese is.

[Emperor Fuckshit]

An Understanding of Class.

A key sketch in explaining the man's humour and career.

As this extract from Ronnie Barker's appearance on the radio talk show The Tom O'Gormliss Interview handily illustrates.

I started flicking through my favourite Monty Python sketches on youtube and forgot that I was looking for a specific Cleese one

Anyway, must get back to the sketches....

Brilliant for many reasons, but especially the context:

All I can say is, "Well done Cleesy" - yes, he has been in some crap in the past (I'm looking at you, Rat Race), but he is also, undoubtedly, one of the funniest comic actors to ever grace a television screen. I, for one, hope that the years of awesome continue for a long time to come.

Ahh, Hitler in England is a good Cleese-centred sketch. Palin is great in it too.

[Skummy]

...no fun in Stalingrad.
