John Cleese On How To Irritate People (1968)

Review:

This is an evening TV show with John Cleese, a nice assortment of sketches. It’s funny, yes, but when half of the Monty Python crew is gathered, we are used to a little more than just “it’s funny, yes” (you are not? Well I am, spoiled little brat that I am). All in all it’s a good but rather conventional 70s TV show. But hey, this is from 1968, so who knows, maybe they were ahead of their time then already? Anyways, I list and link it here because you know what we fanboys are like. What if this was some lost media stuff where Cleese, Booth, Palin and Chapman are doing these TV sketches long before the Flying Circus? I sure would die to see it. So I think it’s better that is NOT lost. Gentlepeople, I present you what may not be the greatest show in the world, but I guarantee you that it’s a highly interesting historical document and about 100 times funnier than anything that Adam Sandler or Kevin James could ever come up with.
