- WhitScott, on 10/13/2008, -14/+739I love that he compares Sarah Palin to a parrot.
- amprather, on 10/14/2008, -12/+716Why are comics the smartest people on the planet?
- rawg, on 10/14/2008, -2/+513Interviewer: "What do you think of Sarah Palin?"
Cleese: "Buhahahaha!!"
Awesome! - 1gunners4, on 10/14/2008, -4/+373John Cleese attended Cambridge and John Stewart (the other comic that comes immediately to mind) attended William and Mary. The other members of Monty Python attended either Cambridge of Oxford.
It isn't so much that comics are the smartest people on the planet, it's that some of the smartest people on the planet are really funny. - roflmcwaffles, on 10/14/2008, -6/+352He's totally right when he said Monty Python could have written this whole fiasco. Sarah Palin is synonymous with absurdity.
- FulcrumVitesse, on 10/14/2008, -2/+259When your candidate gets compared to a Monty Python sketch, by a member of Monty Python, it's time to rethink things.
- happytedium, on 10/14/2008, -3/+236It really doesn't take a genius to see that Sarah Palin is a joke. I think the question is why is everyone else so dense?
- NinjaPig, on 10/14/2008, -4/+154I don't think he was talking politics at all. He didn't mention democrats, obama or anything. He was just making an obvious observation about Palin, its pretty dead on.
- magus_melchior, on 10/14/2008, -3/+132"Oh, she's not dead, squire, she's resting."
(Must wait until 11/5, must wait until 11/5, must wait... argh!!) - LooseFur, on 10/14/2008, -9/+136Leave it to John Cleese to cut to the quick and call Sarah Palin what she is: a parrot for the most hateful elements of a GOP that is neither grand nor intelligent enough not to let mental patients run their agenda.
- Gabberwok, on 10/14/2008, -2/+125Maverick want a cracker?
- RoroCo, on 10/14/2008, -2/+108Plus... comics are given more liberties to tell the truth than are other people. Reality is funny, but normal people are not given the forum to talk about it honestly.
Then again... Fox News is pretty funny and that is complete fiction. - Dumbledorito, on 10/14/2008, -6/+111All she lacks is a pair of glasses, a moustache, and a handkerchief with knots in the corners on her head.
- oldhick, on 10/14/2008, -4/+106He's a human, not a Euro.
- mattdorman, on 10/13/2008, -20/+119And what a parrot!
- Azimuth1, on 10/14/2008, -4/+96"Cleese should worry more about why he didn't do more to prevent the election of Gordon Brown."
The country didn't elect Gordon Brown. Don't act like you know what you're talking about. - tynansanger, on 10/14/2008, -0/+86"Hullo, I'd like to return this Vice President I voted for not half an hour ago from this very booth."
- staffell, on 10/14/2008, -1/+87The first 5 seconds of the video just about sum Palin up.
- Azimuth1, on 10/14/2008, -0/+84@poprocksandsoda:
The country elected the Labour Party with Blair as its leader. Blair then resigned and Brown took over.
Again, don't pretend to know about our politics. - nunney, on 10/14/2008, -4/+87This parrot is not dead
- bushout, on 10/14/2008, -0/+72BASIL!
- LooseFur, on 10/14/2008, -1/+72"Beautiful plumage, the Alaskan Blue..."
- anstice85, on 10/14/2008, -0/+70I want to hear what Michael Palin thinks about Sarah Palin.
- Dumbledorito, on 10/14/2008, -6/+76Yeah, but he's already President.
- Lyndoman, on 10/14/2008, -7/+73Brilliant stuff, could they get a more stupid American for the job.
- borez, on 10/14/2008, -0/+61Intelligence comes with great observation skills, great observation make for great comedy.
- GordonFree, on 10/14/2008, -4/+63Doesn't matter how many unarguably intelligent people notice that she's a complete joke,
we will always see ignorant rednecks who think they know better because they have Jesus on their side.... - ani625, on 10/14/2008, -3/+62Only, she says "Maverick" every now and again.
- Blackham, on 10/14/2008, -1/+58Kind of says it all, doesn't it?
- alexacastro, on 10/14/2008, -0/+54gunners hit it on the head, and you'll notice your favorite comedians are usually really quick on their feet and can improvise, you gotta be witty to do that.
My personal fave is Conan O' Brien, and that fool went to Harvard! - Dumbledorito, on 10/14/2008, -1/+52@poprocks: Who gives a ***** what a Yank thinks about British politics?
- bartpieters, on 10/14/2008, -0/+50"and I thought Michael Palin was the funniest Palin ever...." Hilarious!
- elliotys, on 10/14/2008, -1/+51Sarah Palin, I fart in your general direction.
- skiner24, on 10/14/2008, -0/+48I like that he just starts laughing when asked about Sarah Palin
- hairyfro, on 10/14/2008, -5/+53I will not buy her crap. Eet is scratched.
- cynicalcheeto, on 10/14/2008, -1/+48It just sounds so much better in an English accent.
- psy333che, on 10/14/2008, -2/+49I knew this had to be good.. and I also love English Humor
- BelatedHero, on 10/14/2008, -3/+47NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!
- IllBeBack, on 10/14/2008, -4/+48Because western societies are anti-intellectualism.
If you're great at some sport, for example, you are a god, but if you are really smart, who cares? - familynight, on 10/14/2008, -0/+44@Dumbledorito: As an American, I'm with you on that. We are not in a position to be criticizing the governments of other nations.
- netneutrality, on 10/14/2008, -1/+44Oh but it is. This parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet it's maker! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!
- inactive, on 10/14/2008, -2/+44Sarah Palin smells of elderberries!
- aussiejan, on 10/14/2008, -0/+40Agreed. Completely spontaneous eruption of laughter at just the mention of her name. It's official. Sarah Palin IS a joke.
- bushout, on 10/14/2008, -1/+41If he's a Euro, are you a $
- b0rg, on 10/14/2008, -2/+42What does he have against parrots, you have to wonder?
- IphtashuFitz, on 10/14/2008, -1/+39She's pinin' for the fjords!
- BabyWookie, on 10/14/2008, -0/+38Man. I would ***** love to see what Carlin could do with Palin. It wouldn't be pretty, for sure.
- inactive, on 10/14/2008, -1/+38Total neo-con reaction. "F@ck what the rest of the world thinks of us!"
- Dumbledorito, on 10/14/2008, -0/+37"Wot I object to is 'er automatic'ly treatin' me like an inferior!"
- petebot, on 10/14/2008, -0/+37...You mean English Humour.
