That’s rich coming from John Cleese, he was on the side of fucking over the peaceful state of international relatioships when it came to brexit, supporting the pricks that he’s now criticizing.
He should just fuck off to the cayman islands and shut up. He cashed in all his Monty Python/Fawlty Towers goodwill when he became Basil
Dammit. I thought he was funny, turns out he’s a xenophobic fuckhead.
I actually already couldn’t enjoy Fawlty Towers anymore, the racism is obvious to me now that I’m an adult. It’s distasteful. I guess for John, it wasn’t just “the times” the show was made in. Ah well, plenty of not-fuckheads whose work can be enjoyed.
But that’s what I’m saying - I don’t think those kind of jokes are funny anymore. When I was younger I thought it was all in good fun, that nobody really meant it and that’s why it was funny, but then I saw the world and realised it’s very much not. The humour was drained away by the hatred.

He spent most of his adult life dodging taxes – no surprise that he would be pro-brexit.
I feel thats two different things though. You can be an asshole about European union but still dislike Trumps antics.
John Cleese on trans people
(He’s definitely an asshole about more than the EU)
Still an asshole in the end. Assholes disliking another asshole doesn’t make them less of an asshole.
The fault in the left.
Not supporting shithead right wingers?
It’s the virtue of the left.
There’s a big difference between supporting fascists and dictators, and supporting the UK shooting it’s own dick off.
But yeah, people shouldn’t support either.
well, supporting one leads to strengthening the other. a fuckload of brexit propaganda money came from russia, which should make it suspect.

He’s both: funny and a xenophobic fuckhead.
Although… I’m not so sure that he’s still funny these days. It would seem not.
Yeah, I agree. I guess I should have said I used to think he was funny. It’s been a long damn time since he said anything that made me laugh.
You’re allowed to enjoy something for what it is while recognizing it’s problematic.
Or follow gay humour where you find a bunch of fag jokes but you’re laughing at the bumbling fool/homophobic person.
