- Comedy icon John Cleese “cancelled himself” to protest the blacklisting of art historian Andrew Graham-Dixon by the Cambridge University debating society, says Sky News host Chris Smith.
“But as often happens on Twitter - the keyboard warriors don't let up,” Mr Smith said.
“With some accusing Cleese of making this call, purely for self-promotion.”
I admire John Cleese for sticking with his integrity and giving the middle finger to the woke brigade.
Same here.
I want to cancel myself one day 🤸♀️🥇 With words, and birds 👀🤫😂🕊️🦚
That tweet from Mr. Cleese is the ULTIMATE mic drop of the ignorant woke brigade
Leftists started canceling their own brain cells in the 60's, and 70's, they only have one remaining, as a whole, which, they now keep stored away in an electrified safe deep inside Bill Clinton's butthole, for safe keeping, not Bill's pleasure, of course.

@POINTTWOFIVEMOA which ones ?
Lol I read Mr. Cheese 🤣
Cleese is an international treasure. 👍🏽
100%. This man is singularly brilliant. Amongst his other works, my favourite show is "Fawlty Towers" wich he co-wrote with his then wife. Not only does he participate in that German stereotype but he also pokes fun at Spanish ("Barcelona"), England and everyone else as well. That's why it's called comedy. There should be disclaimer "Warning: Not for Leftist, Liberal, Snowflakes."
Another UK Legendary show, RED DWARF, did an episode "A Cure For Being Evil" where Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, and other tyrants are resurrected from a CRYO Sleep chamber. It's comedy gold!

@@ColonelStraker quite agree with your comments Paul...there needs to be more of those shows,comedy is the best for lifting your spirits.Long may you reign John and all your great friends.👍👍👍
@@ColonelStraker THANK YOU!
Indeed, and woke activists are the international trash
Bien dit !
The wokesters don't want us to laugh at jokes. What they don't know is they're the jokes we're laughing at.
And when they figure out they are the butt of the joke, they get ticked off and double down with wokeness.
💯
That quip is worth a hundred 'Likes'.
Well, that's what they are afraid of. Their brains can't accept to not be included.
@@MRSCub actually; they want us to continue to believe that they have feelings. Don't make that misstake!
Always loved John Cleese. Love him even more now. Respect to you sir!
John Cleese could strut backwards in ballet shoes AND STILL STEAMROLL ANYONE WITHOUT A SENSE OF HUMOR.
actually he may have already done that bit
If I ever needed a reason to love John Cleese more...Respect to a great
Don't mention the war 😁

What a legend… Proud of you Mr CLEESE.. Good work..
woke humourlessness is caused by a massive sense of personal insecurity
Yes, it's definitely a mental illness caused by victmhood and entitlement culture. Poor unhappy, bitter bastards.

Brainwashed BRAINDEAD MORONS…..GULLIBLE SHEEP!!!
I dont find that funny at all and neither should anyone else on earth BECAUSE THE EARTH REVOLVES AROUND ME!!!!!!!
The’re a miserable lot aren’t they?! 😂
Everything woke turns to 💩!!!
Thank god one of the greatest comedians has spotted out what Wokeism is and is opposing it.
Wokeism is the new oppression.
Don't be fooled. He's all part of the system. Freemason. Controlled opposition if you like.
Students who attend Cambridge and Oxford Universities were once thought of as "elite intelligentsia". They are now mostly regarded as dopey Idiots who would, on leaving be advised to conceal the fact that they ever attended in order to avoid a lifetime of ridicule. My Advice :- "Normal" Students should get together and remove these fools from their Student Unions.
@@leannecurtis1582 rats! I hate to hear that. FTFM
Being in my 60's, I grew up watching John Cleese. If he does not make you laugh, then you are either dead or woke.
if you're woke, you might as well be dead.
@@Sarvagya4 I was implying it is the same thing
Ain't that the Truth!!👏👏
Well put 🤠
Couldn’t agree with you more
I loved Fawlty towers. This world has gone mad.

Bravo and kudos to John Cleese, sadly, at this point in time he's a rarity
I have always thought Mr.Cleese was a great actor; now, he has earned my respect. Brilliant!
Go pound salt, Cambridge
Thank you John Cleese, you're standing up for the "majority" of people who don't have a STICK UP THEIR BUM about everything !!
Adults acting like spoiled children.

Children I have known has always been too clever and too wise to fall into this hatefull and harmful way of thinking
"Laughter is a force for Democracy" - Amen, John Cleese... Amen.
Then he said, "Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time."
" I fart in your general direction, you son of a prostitute"
The Word Woke,Should be changed to (KarenCulture)⁉️
I've come to the conclusion that it should be changed to "bullying".
@@ParaBellum2024to be honest, Anything but Woke 🤗
And this is why he’s one of the best of all time. Good for him.
If we can't laugh at ourselves, if we relinquish our sense of humor, what will lift us up when life just gets serious?
Agree 100% I find often the people who are woke actually laugh at real misfortune people suffer they are the worst of humanity in my opinion.
Bravo John!
Great! Love you John Cleese❤️

As an American, I will stand with my non "woke" and totally based Brit (and Aussie) M8s like Cleese! 👍😊👍Comedy is NOT for the weak hearted. WE MUST STAND.
I love John Cleese
John Cleese on not appearing at Cambridge - "There's no way I can top THAT joke!"
“Don’t mention the war” comedy gold
"You'll have to excuse him; he's from Barcelona "
Nobody can beat John Cleese. He’s a legend.
John Cleese, omg, just hearing his name makes you laugh. Good for him! Love you Mr. Cleese, you've made me laugh for decades, from America 🇺🇸.

John Cleese is a magnificent human being. Flat Fact.
i see. i know you know.
Hear hear, no life without self deprecation
John Cleese is a hero and we need more heroes in our leftist tainted world.
What have the left got to do with it? If anyone is from the left it's probably JC. Some of the best comedies have been written by lefties and performed by lefties. The woke brigade might be shocked by Alf Garnett and his racist tirades, but the joke was on Alf, he was the butt of the jokes and was played by a leftie, the late great Warren Mitchell. The dual Alf Garnett series of 'Till Death Us Do Part' and 'In Sickness and in Health' was written by Johnny Speight, a leftie also. Sacha Baron-Cohen is another great writer/performer who takes the piss out of Trump and his followers, I would say he is more likely to be from the left than the right.
@@terrythekittieful The Left are behind Left fascism. They support it, provide it legal cover, and often laud the worst behavior of their vanguard. That the Left is splitting along moral grounds demonstrates just how far Leftists have gone down the rabbit hole. That you'd bald-faced lie about the Left's involvement with the Left fascists demonstrates how despicable some members of the Left have become.
Finally I get to stay respectful of someone I have admired since I was young a man willing to stand up for our rights to have an opinion and not be a brown shirt. So many people I used to watch on TV and had the best time laughing at their jokes have now apologised to 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ and it makes me damn sad to think we can no longer have a joke or make a joke without somebody taking it,out of context so thanks John from Australia ( The largest prison in the world) And the biggest arse Premier who is controlling Victoria I appreciate that you stick to your guns and please don’t apologise for making me laugh and have great memories of watching your work. 😊
Good. At least he has guts to tell them, "the university" to piss off. The party apparatchiks never like humor. They hate it!
Good on you John! Don't let the bastards drive you down.
I would be offended if someone called me a Pom; the least I would expect is "Pommie Baastard"
The wokers should be the ones to be banned from the society for tearing the once beautiful world apart. We all support J Cleese !
Woke are so obsessed they miss the humour, priceless...
A stand applauded by many of Us. Seperate the kboard warriors from their devices and We will see the sadness
"Being offended a life-long pursuit." Spot on.
If you can't laugh at yourself, it makes you a Hypocrite when laughing at others! Been saying and doing this for years & I'm not going to stop any time soon.
Kids these days wanting to change the world, while a few will continue to be idiots throughout life the majority will wake up to how stupid their behaviour was. Having their own children will ensure it!
They don't want kids they are saving the planet.
@@alwayscensored6871 I’m not to bothered if I’m honest, every dog has it’s day. The Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans and every other empire has fell to that same nonsense over the centuries. Nothing new under the sun .
@@ianmcdonald3053 Go woke go broke, time for a reset, back to hunter gathering.
If they manage to attract and keep a mate, that is.
I grew up watching John Cleese in the classic videos like Fawlty, and “How to Irritate People”. I think it is great he is standing up again for the people. Wasn’t he involved in a writer’s strike back in the day too? Thank you for the video.
Always used to look out for the mispelled sign at the start of the show .... Flowery Twats 😀
@@fred4687 or "Farty Towels"... lol
True. If the Left fascists think they can out-irritate Cleese, they have a terrible lesson to learn. He wrote the book on it.
If you're offended by words, then perhaps social media isn't for you
Even nearly fifty years on John Cleese's goose step still cracks me up, especially the turnaround.
Dave Allen was the funniest person on TV . Always taking the piss out of everything .
Wouldn’t get away with it today . 🤬
IKR. Richard Pryor and George Carlin wouldn't be able to exist in today's "woke" world either. What have we become?!
----
John Cleese and many many others are true legends for keeping laughter and humour alive for decades. we ALL needs this in our lives, today’s woke troggs would cancel all sense of humour and self expression if left to it…🇬🇧
People are at last starting to call this garbage out.
"It's nobody's fault, not even the Romans"
" Whatever you do, don't mention za war."
It's like the government hasn't focused on mental health or something.
Here here!!! Kudos to Cleese!

So so glad I am at the later end of life. I got to laugh a lot before this woke cancel crap .I still do, woke is sookville
Brilliantly said, thank you sir.🇺🇸
Man can you imagine getting Cleese and Chapelle together

Being able to laugh at yourself is a sign of good mental health? The Woke cannot laugh at themselves. Well, that explains that. Let’s Go Brandon 🇺🇸
Astute observation there.

He would make a great Doctor. But, I don't know if he can handle all the running. 🤣
@@shawnycoffman With a wit like his, he doesn’t have to run. If necessary, he can use the skills he learned at THE MINISTRY OF FUNNY WALKS.

Brilliant! I would expect nothing less of this living legend.
👏👏👏👏Wonderful message, thank you!
John Cleese is a legend. Universities are becoming increasingly irrelevant
It's like television, if you don't like it then don't watch it. Don't go wokers, stay your arses at home in mommy's basement
My university (UK) isn't woke. Everybody is welcome to their own opinion, almost nobody cares about gender and there is no cancelling of opposing views.
BTW. Mr Cleese is a treasure.. a world treasure!!! Faulty Towers is still funny, after watching for years, the reruns are still funny !
Thank you Chris no one could have said it better and let me part by saying humor and comedy is comedy it doesn't need anyone's permission to exist
It's all about being 'fashionable' in the eyes of those you wish to 'impress'.
Mocking Hitlers crazy evil philosophies is a good thing ! The man was mad 😡
Haha! The joke is on the woke. Good onya John Cleese for making a stand for freedom of speech and comedy.

Thank you John Cleese!!!
Faulty Towers was an epic comedic masterpiece along with Monty Python let alone just his stand up. He is the last of a dying breed. MUCH RESPECT TO THE OG💞
The Monty Python team knowingly or unknowingly predicted the future of wokeness with their "Loretta" scene from 'The Life of Brian' back in 1979.
The fetus will have to gestate in a box.
Throughout my life, I've always tried to find away to laugh at the misfortunes in my life. If I didn't, I'd have a miserable life. That does not sound fun.
Life is not worth living without laughter
When you realise you actually are living in a Monty Python dystopia. It's not so funny.
Mr. Cleese also does the funniest impression I've ever seen - watching the old Basel do the Natzee walk is still funny today. The whole problem with this 'movement' is that we've lost the ability to laugh at ourselves. What a shame. Well done Mr. Cleese.
Huge Mr. Cleese fan. If they were so offended by Mr. Cleese, just imagine what "they" would think about Mel Brooks!
He's GREAT! Way to go Mr. Cleese
Wonderful!
"You started it"......."No, you started it when you invaded Poland". This is itself is comical genius. Cleese is the undefeated champion of comedy....end of...
Cancel culture,back in my day we called it "butt hurt"
Go woke go broke.
ABSOLUTELY! John Cleese has brought so much healing with the laughter!
Most often those that concern themselves with what others are doing are doing it because they have no life of their own.
What’s a universiry?
Never apologize.
I so agree with you! To laugh at ourselves is human. It connects us together & creates relationships. Those who are offended by everything will end up alone & even more miserable than they already are.
