Customer Reviews of John Cleese on How to Irritate People
A must-have for Python fans! I enjoyed this DVD very much. As a die-hard Python fan, it was great fun for me to watch John Cleese, Graham Chapman, and my favorite Python Michael Palin in this program. The show is very clever and the entire cast is very funny (and very annoying, but that's the point). It's also fun to see the (very) early incarnations of "Dead Parrot", "Dirty Fork", and "Silly Job Interview".
If you're a Python fan, I highly recommend rounding out your collection with this excellent DVD.
Mostly killer, some filler, but still worth a watch
First thing to note about this film: There are some sketches that really just don't matter. I'm not really much of a fan of the pre-Dead Parrot car sketch, and the one about the wife and the joke just really doesn't matter. Other than that, though, most of them are great.
Second thing to note about this film: I found it to be an acquired taste. It may take multiple viewings for you to appreciate it. Whether or not you want to take multiple viewings is up to you. It also helps if you have friends who like to quote movie lines...this one has GREAT potential for quoting, and that's really 80% of the value, probably.
All that said, there's some hilarious material here. Obviously "Airline Pilots" is amazingly hysterical, and "Silly Job Interview" is not too far behind. But other gems include the son home for Easter ("It's been so long since we last had you home for Easter." "I was home last Easter, mother." "Yes, but that was 12 months ago, dear..."), the dad who irritates his son enough that he gets the TV, John Cleese thinking of every possible way to get out of his date at the restaurant ("You know what I think? I think you're mad because I made you sit there..."), Mrs. Morris on the quiz show ("I'm 103! Today! And I have over 3,000 children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren!"), the pepperpots at the cinema, ("Who's that?" "Charlton Hitler...") the incredibly long intro to the talk show, and the closing sketch "Topic", a political discussion show where the host prevents all input from the guest (the pike used at the end is AWESOME! I want one!)
I have loaned this to several of my college friends, essentially all of whom have loved it. The filler material (which, because of the length of these sketches, seems endless) is a little bit too much of this video to the extent you'll want to fast-forward at some spots, but what's good is delightful. I definitely recommend it.
its an aquired taste
for the last year or so ive told everyone i remotely know to watch or listen to something monty python.it seems like everyone either says its not funny at all or its the funniest thing theyve ever seen.and even though cleese's "how to irritate people" isnt directly related to monty python, the type of humor is still the same.so ive said this to warn you that before you go and buy it, i would DEFINITELY rent or barrow some python stuff first.in case you were wondering,i loved the movie and am going to add it to my daily python cycle.
