The first "YOU BASTARD!" is the best one I've ever heard. Look how he pulls his arm back to get as much oooomph behind it as he can, literally dancing with rage. 😂😂😂😂😂
Michael Clark The New Puritan 14.4.23 0619am a dance re: European ww1 onwards, i surmise - al brought to you via p.o.w camps and the vagaries of political hypocrisy in this most detestable of worlds...
@@JJONNYREPP what the fuck are you on about
“I do apologize-YOU BASTARD!!!” 🤣
I love the slow descent:
- Well, how are you Lord Melbury?
'- Ow are you then?
- All right mate?
- How's me old mucker?
- You BASTARD!
it's not John cleese until he yells bastard
And no one yells "BASTARD!!!" at the top of their lungs quite like John Cleese.
@@toradrow777 no they don't
I love it, "I do apologize YOU BASTERD" I love how he acts a bit nice then just yells basterd at him
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
0:58 BAAAAAASTARD
Still kills me to this day
I love it thou
To this day to
John cleese is underrated 🤣🤣
Yeah and the way he screams it right in front of those really posh well to do people is epic. That womans face! lololol. I died laughing when i was 14 at this and now at 46 i still laugh just as hard lol!😂😂😂
"Do please excuse me for one moment" Kicks Melbury in the face LOL
"ohhh!" 🤣🤣
And then nicks his money, right in front of Sir Richard hahahaha
think he kicked him in the nuts, but yeah lol
🤣In the balls I thought - a third strike after Polly and Manuel did the same.
@@ysgol3 He has three balls?!
"A gin and orange, a lemon squash,and a scotch and water.. please!"
RIIIIGHT!! 😂
That line by actor Terry Conoley was so funny.
I'm surprised that, in the end, the guest didn't pull an O'Reilly and helped himself behind the bar. 😂 (But then of course we wouldn't have had that marvellous closing scene.) 😂
When he takes his £200 back, then launches the wallet almost out the door 🤣
Such a satisfying moment
"The Duke of Buckley is DEAD. Got his head knocked off by a golf ball" lol
Tragic, tragic
😂
@@RaymondCampesino Well, how are you Lord Mayberry? OWE are you then?
@@michaelwilliamybarra2409 Alright mate? How's me old mucker?
Do you have any valuables to deposit? Any bricks?
@@Tiger516funny
I do apologiz-YOU BASTARD!!!!!!!
One of the funniest bits is where he just shouts “Hello Lord Melbury” as he runs back into the lobby lol. Kills me every time
Couldnt agree more!
It’s such a fantastically hilarious change in behaviour towards him after all the sucking up beforehand🤣🤣🤣
I don't think it's too early. He runs and bricks but the early reaction is just him beginning to worry, honestly if anything he didn't react early enough!
I always found it funny how Manuel hits him presumably in the nuts with that chair and he does that really over the top theatrical topple over fall.
The pulling of the ears is just classic gold.
ALRIGHT ME OLD MUCKER
Yes
0:54 I just noticed he says “may I introduce your wife.”
I always notice that, too.............
He said on a commentary that he noticed it and wish he did not say it.
@@mejustme683 I disagree with him... it makes sense for the mental state he's in.
@@mejustme683 He gets away with it because obviously he's rather distracted at that point so it's almost an unintended extra joke.
For once Basil actually comes off on top.
He should do, he's defeating a criminal who almost stole from him and we're all rooting for him as a result!
No he did not, he lost the real nobles right in the end of this video.
@@Zodroo_Tint maybe, but it was worth it and they were snobs.
0:45 COMEDIC GENIUS!
True
I love the way that Polly, Manuel and Basil all manage to wallop 'Lord' Melbury in the balls.
It was an accident for Manuel, Polly did it on purpose. She is the best ally Basil can have.
@@Zodroo_Tint LOL.
The best is that Basil even thanked Polly and Manuel later who brought fake lord down, so he could get his wallet. Manuel did not understand " Well done " remark first , so he repeated "Olé !"
I think this was the first time when Basil was happy about Manuel actions in hotel. Second time came when Manuel poured cream into violent hotel guest suitcase while Basil hit him with cake.This time he even kissed Manuel. Only 2 times in 2 seasons, it is not so many
Every episode is 'Comedy Gold'... there are so many great scenes & classic lines - one of my favourite being the 'Anniversary Party', where Basil pretends to forget & has organised their friends to come over as a surprise. When Sybil leaves unexpectedly, Manual says - "It's surprise party, she no here... that is surprise!" ;-)
The moment he says "uh huh" when he sees Lord Melbury coming down the stairs 🤣🤣
That bit of extreme violence by Basil at the end was hilarious and brilliantly executed.
The bewildered and appalled reaction of the truly posh people - Sir Richard and Lady Morris - is comedy perfection.
Yes, they don't seem to realise that a criminal pretending to be one of them is actually being caught and arrested whilst the hotel manager is furious with the guy for almost robbing him of a precious posession! But then all posh people are criminal in some way, taking money from the poor.
It’s just wonderful! 😂😂🤣🤣😭😭
@@Foebane72
What a nonsensical thing to say. Posh doesn't mean wealthy and you can be wealthy without robbing people.
"Alright M8?? 'Ow's me ole Muckahh".. ❤ this 1st one so much... Absolute class.
Best British comedy ever made.
Aye, this and everything Peter Cook ever appeared in.
apart from The Office and "Extras"
“How’s me old mucker!?”
I never laughed so hard 😂 😂 😂. John Cleese u genius
Not you genuis, you bastard!
The restrained anger at "Lord" Melbury leading up to Basil's explosive rage is palpable. Cleese's acting here is absolutely legendary.
1:12 the kick was a nice touch
It doesnt look like he kicked him though
The boot in at the end....................CLASSIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes, you just find yourself on Basil's side, despite his pretentious, high strung and snobby ways.
"Hows me old mucker".
A memory of somebody roaring bastard and shacking their fist just popped into my memory a few minutes ago and I couldn't place what it was from then suddenly it came to me, "Fawlty Towers". Then typed into the search bar 'Fawlty Towers bastards', youtube can be great sometimes.
0:47 Oh my god! They killed Kenny!
Make me laugh out so loud at the second bastard bit
A Touch Of Class
0:46 YOU BASTARD!!
Melbury’s groan when Basil kicks him in the goodies is priceless
00:47 LOL.
One of the few times basil came out on top (or at least broke even)
Best comedy ever made.
CLASS.
So sad to hear that Michael Gwynn who played Melbury died from a heart attack a few months after this first series was made. He was only 60. Brian Hall who played Terry the chef in the second series sadly lost his battle with cancer in 1997 at 60. 😢
Mad as March hare.
Best moment 0:46
It’s when they’re dragging Lord Melbry out the front of the hotel after Basil has lost customers and he asks the officers to hit him.
“Just one, please Just one!”. 🤣🤣🤣
My reaction when the bin men didn't empty my bin...
No one yells '"BASTARD!!!" at the top of their lungs quite like John Cleese.
TIMELESS 😂
When you have school for the rest of your live 0:46
JOHN CLEESE IS SO TALENTED
Postcrd rack removed from episode 2, I thought Basil would want to make some extra money from guests buying postcards to sent to their families if it was a real hotel.
That would’ve made an interesting episode?
'BASTARD!!'
Funniest bit is the Duke of buckley getting hit with a golf ball.
I think the 70's police would actually let Basil kick him lol
Basil likes to fawn to the upper classes, but ultimately, he's just the same as the rest of us poor people and hates them.
00:46
Bro needed the toilet big time
Ow are you, Lord Melbury? Ow are you then? Owrite, mate? Hows me' old mucker! Got any valuables to deposit Lord Melbury, any bricks?
Comedy was born at this moment
@Bill Patrick Jones true
Manuel is good aswell thou
@Calum HGaming *Basil:* Any Valuables To Deposit, Sir Richard - Any 'Bricks'?
*'Lord Melbury':* [In Horror As He Runs And After He Turns His Head At A Sharp Speed To One Side And Then Back To Basil To Look 'Round Him, A Worried Feeling On The Face Of The So-Called 'Lordship' As He Looks 'Round] Oh-Ho-Ho-Ho-Ho-Ho!!!
*Basil:* [To The Morrises...] I Do Apologise... [...And Then 'Lord Melbury'] *_YOU BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!_*
I don’t know how Fawlty got away with his behaviour. He certainly put Sir Richard and Lady Morris off, however it was very cleverly written and funny. Maybe he could have said to Lord Melbury “You’re Busted” (as in punished). I laughed when Sybil found bricks in the brief cases of Melbury’s too. Sadly actor Michael Gwynn who played Melbury died of a heart attack shortly after this episode was filmed. He was only 60.
One Funny man! 🙂
0:47 You bastard 😂😂😂
0:59 *BASTARD*
That woman at 0:50 haha😂
any bricks?
@Hugo **Runs away**
Too funny.
Poor Sir Richard and his wife, however it was the best tv series of all time. Maybe Fawlty could have said to Melbury “ You’re busted” rather than the other word.
The normies in the comments don't get how much real anger Cleese had in him.
One episode where Basil came thru as a winner, or at least did not lose anything significant except his cool.
He got his money back, still had his coin collection. Fake Melbury probably had to pay his hotel bill even though he was arrested ( even dead man`s relatives had to pay his bill ) and Basil lost two aristocracy customers, but like Sybil said : we make money with customers we have right now, we dont need upper class people.
FUNNY 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
0:46
Alright mate!
@Plague Kat How's Me Old Mucker?
British comedies will never be the same no matter how cheesy sometimes it gets I love it. I hate this modern British comedies because its feels like forced humour than genuine. The last modern one I use to love was My family but nothing else now.
Michael Gwynn died 1976 aged 59
😢Yes very sorry to read that, he died of a heart attack early 1976.
0:46 when Gabriel Agreste is cruel to his kwami Nooroo,
particularly in sand boy
Oh my god they killed kenny!
0:46
Lol
Stay positive with Sherpa ♥️😀🌟👏😇😤😃🐕😆🌟🧡😛💖🇬🇧🙂
‘May I introduce your wife?’
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
John cleese greatest phsycal comedian up there with Laurel and Hardy,The stooges,the Marxs Brothers,and W.C. feilds
@AdrianYoungs81 and him
I would include Jim Carrey too
(0:15) always loved biting the check
00:47 and 00:59
0:59
No check, pls
Probably only the tiniest flaw in this otherwise perfect comedy, is Lord Melbury reacting to the brick accusation too early, rather spoils it for me.
I just noticed that. But he reacts with worry when he hears "valuables" and only runs off at "bricks." Makes sense.
What has Lord Malbury done? What's his crime? Don't understand.
Impersonated..
Pretended to be a Lord when he was a professional conman who tried to swindle Basil.
He stole from a jewellery shop that’s why Mr Brown from the CID was watching Melbury.
i wish i could buy john cleese for what he's worth and sell him for what he thinks he's worth. most overrated comedian ever
