A clip circulating on X revisits John Cleese turning Graham Chapman's memorial service into one last burst of Monty Python irreverence. The Guardian identifies Cleese as Chapman's friend and “Dead Parrot” co-writer, and quotes the eulogy's vicious sendoff.
Chapman died on Oct. 4, 1989, at age 48, according to Monty Python's official biography. He and Cleese met through Cambridge Footlights and wrote together long before Python, while the troupe's official history describes its comedy as “unpredictable, aggressive and irreverent.” Cleese's tribute carried that same instinct into a room built for mourning.
