As a kid, Fawlty Towers was a fun show. As a young adult, I could relate to Basil. After working as a hotel receptionist, Fawlty Towers is a documentary.

I asked John Cleese last year what his favourite ever bit was. He said very clearly when the corpse was in the laundry basket and to distract a female guest he looked up at the ceiling and said “just look at that ceiling. It’s not the Sistine Chapel but it gives us a lot of pleasure.” He said he laughs every time he thinks about it! Great vignette.
@Jajberry Жыл бұрын
That’s awesome! I never found that funny, as a kid… I suppose I didn’t get the subterfuge, only the farce. It strikes me as typical of Cleese to go for the most subtle of nuances and be constantly tickled by something that others may not find funny, or even miss completely. I watched an interview with him a few days ago, where he says how much he loves the moment in Life of Brian where the crowd is replying to Brian, "YES! WE’RE ALL INDIVIDUALS!”, and one lone voice pipes up with, “I’m not." (I think it was an ad lib, by an extra, as it happens)

If you say, "It’s nothing like the German episode", you’re saying that you watched something that someone told you was the German episode, but you don’t actually think it WAS that episode.

This show was my early childhood, watching it with my grandparents back home. I’m only 16 but it feels like a completely different life. Really miss those days of spending the evening with my grandparents with faulty towers or fools and horses on the tv. With the likes of Pat Boone, Brook Benton and Johnny Cash played on the record player with all the crackle and pops. The warm blankets, curled in a corner of the couch, a small tray of snacks set out on the rolling table my Grampa made by hand, the strong comforting smell of the cheap boxed whiskey they love. The interlude being dinner on the deck on warm evenings at sundown. My family together; my gran being the angel she is always caring for my brother and I; my grandpa with his witty humour, old stories and the songs he’d sing along to; my mom happier and healthier. What id do to go back. You never appreciate what you have when you have it. So much has changed in the three years since we’ve moved countries, myself included. I miss home

This really is one of the best examples of British comedy, also i believe a form of French Farse where things start off normal but get more and more ridiculous. Connie Booth needs qs much recognision for this too. She co wrote it and she acts brilliantly, she's kind of the most relateable character she's witty and clever and tries to get Basil out of the situations. The fact that they both decided to only make 12 episodes is unheard of these days. They both said they'd done as much as they can with it. The only other example i can think of is The young ones, where Rik and Ben said they'd done all they could too

This was essential viewing back in the day. One of those programmes where the whole family would gather around the T.V. in the days before Video Recorders (remember them? 😉) and you'd do anything not to miss it...those days are gone! For me, one of the top moments was when they were trying to "entertain" the guests on the gourmet night, stalling as Basil had to go into Torquay to collect the dishes from another restaurant as the chef was drunk and Polly bursts into a really dreadful version of "I'm Just A Girl Who Can't Say No!" I can remember laughing out loud and for hours at this and countless other scenarios..again, those days are gone! So, it's good to have these clips as memories of a Classic T.V. Comedy, possibly the best ever!

As a kid, Fawlty Towers was a fun show. As a young adult, I could relate to Basil. After working as a hotel receptionist, Fawlty Towers is a documentary.
Fawlty Towers is actually a horror movie, when you look at it this way kzhead.info/sun/qttwppqGqaigjK8/bejne.html
Classic! I work in hospitality and can totally relate.
@@glennlevick2971Right, it is scarily how relatable it is. 😁
Omg are you me?? I think youre me
YES! 😂
I asked John Cleese last year what his favourite ever bit was. He said very clearly when the corpse was in the laundry basket and to distract a female guest he looked up at the ceiling and said “just look at that ceiling. It’s not the Sistine Chapel but it gives us a lot of pleasure.” He said he laughs every time he thinks about it! Great vignette.
That’s awesome! I never found that funny, as a kid… I suppose I didn’t get the subterfuge, only the farce. It strikes me as typical of Cleese to go for the most subtle of nuances and be constantly tickled by something that others may not find funny, or even miss completely. I watched an interview with him a few days ago, where he says how much he loves the moment in Life of Brian where the crowd is replying to Brian, "YES! WE’RE ALL INDIVIDUALS!”, and one lone voice pipes up with, “I’m not." (I think it was an ad lib, by an extra, as it happens)
I didn’t get that exactly right… kzhead.info/sun/d9Kfl5eHiYN6mmw/bejne.html
Lol
No you didn’t 😂
😊😊
Them dragging a dead body into a room where a guest is blowing up a blow up doll is just pure ridiculousness and it brings me nothing but joy. 🤣
thats what they did back in the day to avoid paying for a double room
There was a man John Cleese and Conney hated and they named the man with the blowup doll after him to insult him
I literally hurt myself laughing at that scene.
They should have offered him the corpse Tell him it was an upgrade 😅
It's easy to forget that 'The Germans' episode also included the Fire alarm test, both Sybil and Basil being hospitalised and the talking moose.
Watching this video is bringing back so many good memories. In the 90s me and my wife were watching them always on TV and i was Basil in our family😎.
Yup... 8:29 - I think perhaps my favourite moment in the whole of British TV. I think of it every time I answer the phone.
It's nothing like the Germam episode!!!! How on earth did they do that!!! Funniest ever in history!!!!!
@@thomasjohansson8048 It took me a long time to work out what you meant. What you want to say is, "There’s nothing like the German episode" which means that nothing can compete with it. If you say, "It’s nothing like the German episode", you’re saying that you watched something that someone told you was the German episode, but you don’t actually think it WAS that episode. Forgive me if I seem like the grammar police. I mention it because your English is so good, I think you’d want to know the difference.
The comment to the nurse " my God your ugly".
Poor Basil. He was always a heartbeat away from a complete psychological meltdown.
Me too !
A heartbeat away from one? The dude was THE personification of a psychological meltdown!
And no riff raff !
this serie is pure gold in my eyes , its never gonna go out of time , master piece done by jhon cleese,and connie both , prunella scales and andrew sachs , sad to know that prunella has gotten alzheimers and forgotten the work she put down into fawlty towers during its run . and btw , may andrew sachs rest in peace , alias manuel .
That’s how he achieves clarity and self actualisation.
the fire drill episode is the most amount of genius comedy i've ever seen crammed into one episode: the moose, the fire drill, the hospital, the germans, ... it just keeps on giving!
Yes, the scripts were at least double the content of other sitcoms. Incredible humour that has stood the test of time.
Nothing compares to authentic British Humor and British Comedy, nothing; and John Cleese is undoubtedly one of its greatest ambassodors. Timeless.
Lol
Truth
Alex..I don't know if it's my english ancestors but I feel the same way.Started watching a show in the 60's on PBS,"Doctor in the House" ,then came Marty Feldman, then the Pythons,while catching Emma Peel on ABC.More Classy&refined.
@@malcomlovejoy Well, it might have something to do with that, or not; for instance, I'm 100% Italian and, as far as I know, no English ancestors whatsoever and yet I find British humor irresistible; also the names you cited are all heroes of mine; to be honest, my preference goes to old-school sitcoms such as "a man about the house", "George and Mildred", "Doctors on the go", "Butterflies", "Billy the liar" and more, not to mention "Fawlty Towers", naturally; I find today's stuff less interesting with exceptions like "Little Britain" and few more. Thanks for your reply.
overrated comedy
Good one, but there is missing something... Elder Herr: Will you stop talking about the war? Basil: Me? You started it! Elder Herr: We did not start it! Basil: Yes you did, you invaded Poland! Brilliant!!!

maybe just pure all-around genius.
Yes he is brilliant. But his comedy was born of psychic suffering, as most humour comes from
Yes.
There is nothing funnier than John Cleese at his peak - nothing.

How did Basil not have a heart attack with his ranting
I was always thinking an aneurysm myself...
O'Reilly predicted a stroke
This show was my early childhood, watching it with my grandparents back home. I’m only 16 but it feels like a completely different life. Really miss those days of spending the evening with my grandparents with faulty towers or fools and horses on the tv. With the likes of Pat Boone, Brook Benton and Johnny Cash played on the record player with all the crackle and pops. The warm blankets, curled in a corner of the couch, a small tray of snacks set out on the rolling table my Grampa made by hand, the strong comforting smell of the cheap boxed whiskey they love. The interlude being dinner on the deck on warm evenings at sundown. My family together; my gran being the angel she is always caring for my brother and I; my grandpa with his witty humour, old stories and the songs he’d sing along to; my mom happier and healthier. What id do to go back. You never appreciate what you have when you have it. So much has changed in the three years since we’ve moved countries, myself included. I miss home
Hi Guy. What wonderful memories you have. It's so nice to hear your appreciation of how things used to be, and that your grandmother's love has such a lasting impression on you.
Off topic but this was a good read as it draws the reader in well. I bet you are doing well in your English studies, keep at it and you'll be a good author (if that's something you'd consider). Nonetheless, I too feel the nostalgia that wraps around us when we watch these clips
Did we live the same life? I’m 16 and used to watch this with my grandparents when I was younger and always feel nostalgic while watching it 😂
Beautifully written.
I can relate to this completely, my grandparents introduced me to Fawlty Towers they had the vhs's on the shelf in the video cabinet along side "Some mothers do have em" i used to put one on if i got up really early on school holidays staying with them, they had cable tv with plenty of cartoon channels but Fawlty Towers just had to go on it always made me laugh so hard even if i didn't understand all of the comedy being young and all. Now at 35 i appreciate it even more!
The innumerable amount of hours that i spent watching old comedies like Fawlty towers, George and Mildred, Porridge, Rising damp and many others with my grandad will always hold an extremely special place in my heart.
The timing between all the cast is incredible 😄
Basil shouting into the phone during the fire drill absolutely hilarious.
Simply the best sitcom ever made.
The thin bleu line
One of the best series ever made.John Cleese is fantastic
Not just John Cleese.
So much gold. Mrs Richards takes the cake. “Is this a piece of your brain?”
🤣 might be my favorite moment in the whole show! The delivery is so damn perfect. The combination of politeness, sincerity, and sarcasm only Cleese can do!
Still laughing at this sublime comedy....doesn't get much better than this, they are all bordering on 'insanity?' 😂😂😂
Decades later and I still can't stop laughing.
Brilliant absolutely brilliant. Comedy is the best medicine for the soul and society.
You can watch these over and over again and it's always as funny as the first time !
0:53. Love how Basil points to Sybil to describe a Dragon!
Even funnier when Polly says “Tart” 😂
My third favourite sketch. Number 2 dragonfly and number 1 Germans
Or when he points at his pants and she says ”small”
Thanks for uploading such TV jewel! Being Spanish and interested in languages, my favourite line is: Basil: "Manuel, there's too much butter on those trays"... ... ; Manuel: "No, no, uno, dos tres"
Yes 😂😂😂
Mine too!
Being Spaniard myself I find this Manuel disgusting. whi painted that man's face?
"Where is the generalisimo?" "He's in Madrid!!"
Will never be bettered ! An absolute classic !
my uncle worked on the production crew and once showed us a couple of unfinished episodes that were never aired , he still has them in his loft !
No.
Still funny after almost 50 years.......what other comedy has lasted so long without feeling extremely dated?
Yes Minister
The Honeymooners. Also, Dobie Gillis. They both have held up well.
.....I think BlackAdder is still pretty good.
Don't say that! It makes me feel old.
Only fools and horses
They omitted my favourite Fawlty Towers moment ,when Manuel says"I know nothing' I lke it so much because Basil's dishonesty returns to bite him, and I like it where Basil is insisting that Manuel tells what he knows, and Manuel wags his finger at Basil, as if to say ' Oh no, you don't fool me that easily. .
And in the last episode where he cries "you put Basil in ratatouille" and gets very upset when Polly tells the inspector that the chef calls the ratatouille basil cos he puts so much basil in it, and Sybil explains "Sorry about that, he's from Barcelona" 😂
farty towels
@@Iscalm Indeed.
My favorite part is when Basil rubs a spoon on Basil’s head then raps him with it.
The absolute genius of the script!, the acting and everything about it.
Insanely, funnyman. In-retrospect the cast are in unison, timing was shear perfection. Unmatchable at the time, without doubt, we knew, we are watching greatness. Thank you, Mr Cleese, et al.
*sheer
Shearing forces collaborative to perfection 👌
I wonder what Cleese's blood pressure was through these shows!😂 Classic, he was so great in this show!
It probably helped his blood pressure. All this release that he exercised
He really put everything into his character. Exhaustingly absurdly excellent.
Yes. 'Absurdly excellent.'
American guest, Mr Hamilton; ‘This must be the worst run hotel in Britain!’ The Major; ‘Nooooooo, I won’t have that … … there’s this place in Eastbourne.’
I’m literally 11 and I’ve loved this like show for my whole life
Pure brilliance! I have the complete series on DVD.
Yes, that’s a good list, I’m particularly happy to see the scene of him beating up the fridge with the American standing right behind him, gut-wrenching stuff 🤣
yea, the guy opposite Cleese was good
John Cleese is literally a born comedian. He has the body as well as the talent for it!
Sybil's 'brilliantine stick insect' line was entirely appropriate!
"he has the body of a comedian" 😂
I have the body of an Olympic athlete... ...hidden in my wardrobe 😂
Congratulations. You found the best of the best.
With the exception of "number 1". Even in the 1970s, Germany was only 500 kms from England. So why didn't they hire actors for the German parts who could say five words in German without a thick English accent? How hard could it have been to fly in four real Germans for a morning of shooting three scenes?? Spoils the whole episode... funny as Cleeses "silly walk" may be.
How expensive the whole process would have been more like? This was the BBC and an unknown sitcom that was expected to fail
John Cleese is a legend, I loved this show 💯🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I remember it first time round in the 70s when i was a kid. Would watch it as a family. Always a firm favorite. Brilliant writing.
I just can't put into word how talented John Cleese is ..I just watch and laugh and repeat until I am exhausted ..love to this day .
Fantastic stuff so much better than comedy today this is pure gold x
So much epic comedy in 'towers', and there was only 2 seasons with 6 episodes each. The best sitcom ever made!
That and THE HONEYMOONERS with only 12 half hour episodes.
Defo one of the best , the young ones, filthy rich n catflap, rising damp, steptoe n son, porridge, to the manor born, league of gentlemen...
That’s what I find so crazy about FT. 12 episodes altogether, and yet they are so densely packed that it seems like there were several seasons and 30 episodes. Just astonishing.
Not sure why the reaction channels are not playing these!! especially younger ppl. loved these back in the day, and glad i was so bored I remembered this tonight to search for!!

In hysterics on my own on a drab February afternoon with these old gems..unsurpassable comedy talent from my teenage years.
I remember watching this with my dad in the 90s after coming home from school. He recorded every show on vhs tapes and would watch them everday. Even now its hilarious... Nothingcomes close
One of the Funniest comedy programmes of all time..script writing was superb 👌
"Why? because CRacatoa is not erupting at the moment?" as a hospitality employee, these quotes are such a relief at times of tension. the whole series is a blessing in this branch.
One of the most underrated shows ever. Hilarious in every way.
It was a load of s**t
Don't think so, UK had vote on best comedy, me between Fawlty and Blackadder. But Fools and horses won.
But so much good comedy, you can't really choose as wouldn't want to miss out any Ronnie Barker or Benny Hill stuff.
Not sure about that, it has been voted greatest sitcom of all time in many polls
It's seen as the best comedy in the UK by many. Not remotely underrated in Britain
The very, very, very best of comedy! Thanks JC & CB
They’ll never be another like faulty towers
deekat3279 fawlty 🙄
MichaelKingsfordGray Why be so rude?
You mean "farty towels" or "flowery twats"
We did get Yes, (Prime) Minister, Blackadder, and a few others. I would rank them up there.
Attacking his car with the branch is no.1 for me
This really is one of the best examples of British comedy, also i believe a form of French Farse where things start off normal but get more and more ridiculous. Connie Booth needs qs much recognision for this too. She co wrote it and she acts brilliantly, she's kind of the most relateable character she's witty and clever and tries to get Basil out of the situations. The fact that they both decided to only make 12 episodes is unheard of these days. They both said they'd done as much as they can with it. The only other example i can think of is The young ones, where Rik and Ben said they'd done all they could too
This was essential viewing back in the day. One of those programmes where the whole family would gather around the T.V. in the days before Video Recorders (remember them? 😉) and you'd do anything not to miss it...those days are gone! For me, one of the top moments was when they were trying to "entertain" the guests on the gourmet night, stalling as Basil had to go into Torquay to collect the dishes from another restaurant as the chef was drunk and Polly bursts into a really dreadful version of "I'm Just A Girl Who Can't Say No!" I can remember laughing out loud and for hours at this and countless other scenarios..again, those days are gone! So, it's good to have these clips as memories of a Classic T.V. Comedy, possibly the best ever!
Ducks orf. JD
The guy who played the drunk chef lived down my road years ago,think he passed on now.
@John Smith I agree. All humans over 50 must be incinerated! Signed John Smith, Far Right Potty-mouth Psycho.
I think something that is really underrated about this show is the use of physical comedy. Not just slapstick, but just how the characters move around in the scene. Its almost cartoon like, and I think is a large part of why the show holds up to this day.
Ive watched FT both series so many time now .. I know it backwards! Still not bored of it! 😂😁😁😂
OMG!....I was SO in love with Sybil!
Breaks my heart there were only 12 episodes. Best sitcom ever made.
We always loved the weekly anagram of 'Fawlty Towers' on the hotel sign at the beginning...best one was ' Fatty Owls'. Every hotel we ever stayed in - we would look out of the window and say '...herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plain'. Good times, great comedy, happy memories ♥️💞❤️
Not forgetting "Flowery Twats".
I think the sign you remember was “Farty Owls”. Yeah I used to love that too at the start
Flowery twats was the best and was the only actual anagram of Fawlty Towers
My favourite is when he counts to three, he doesn’t even try to start the car again, he just counts down knowing full well he’s about to beat his car
“Is this a piece of your brain” the ultimate roast!
Fawlty Towers was hilarious. I used to see the new words on the fawlty towers sign during the opening credits.
