I Love Fawlty Towers (Thank you Monty Python fans, you were right)

[rebgirl420]

Ahhhh I'm watching episodes of it on YouTube and you were all right! I love it! Too bad there aren't that many episodes.

The "German" episode is hilarious.

"We didn't start this!"

"Yes you did, when you invaded Polin!"

I realize this is coming about 2 months late, but hell, Fawlty Towers rocks! I was given the series about a year ago and my god, few things have made me laugh that hard. John Cleese is truly a comic genius--very few people can elicit laughter like that just from his facial expressions or the way he sullenly mutters a one-liner. And then of course there's all the outrageous characters he played with Monty Python--you will forever shine, Cleese.

Oh, and Manuel's hilarious too. I love how he's over a foot shorter than Basil--really helps with the comedy.

Andrew Sachs who played Manuel has been in the news recently.

Unfortunately Britain is riddled with people like Brand who have the idea that being a complete twat is somehow funny , I personally think that Brand is about as funny as plankton.

I am glad that my American cousins are tuned into MP and FT. :thumbsup:

The dead parrot sketch cracks me up even after all the years that have gone by.

Too bad there aren't that many episodes.


Maybe not on youtube, but the series ran for many seasons... maybe try the pirate bay?
