Happened to someone watching the Goodies as well .

[@Ericwvb2]

There are two scenes which I've seen in theaters where I almost passed out from laughing. I guess if I had a heart condition I could have died. The first was in Naked Gun (yes I saw this when it came out) when Lt. Drebin is in the car with a student and the perfectly cast driving instructor John Houseman says very calmly "Normally we would not be driving 65 [MPH] down the wrong way of a one way street." The second was Bruno when Bruno talks about his sex life and how it's very "vanilla" and then shows an almost X-rated scene of the most bizarre gay sex ever.

That guy dying of laughter was God making a callback to 'The funniest joke in the world sketch'.

[@Yngvarfo]

I don't know, but I think that must have been written by Michael Palin and Terry Jones, not John Cleese and Graham Chapman. It has that bizarreness of the famous Palin/Jones sketches like the Spanish Inquisition and the Silly Walks, not the wordy sketches with lots of synonyms like Cleese and Chapman's sketches like the Dead Parrot and the Cheese Shop. So Cleese might not associate much with the Funniest Joke sketch. Or maybe he had something to do with the second half, the WWII segment. It's aways struck me that the sketch radically changes gears midway.

I think, you are right about the Colonel (I never knew, that was a Colonel's uniform. I'm not so familiar with brit. uniforms). There was no name. I liked their military sketches a lot. But a bit more, I liked Rowan Atkinson as Black Adder. Particularly in WWI, it was often a persiflage on Winston Churchill ( I joined the army to fight people in the colonies who attack me with bananas and not to oppose hordes of Germans armed to the teeth ...) Both, Atkinson and Cleese, are people with a clear mind. Atkinson f.e. have 20 points IQ more, than Albert Einstein. A very bright candle... Greeds from Germany...

I hadn't heard that one about the expiry of the Danish dentist. It reminded me very strongly of what happened to me the first time I was exposed to Monty Python's Flying Circus. Here I was, a rather naïve 22 year old just returned to my home country of the UK after seven years in culturally isolated, insular South Africa. One night, finding myself at a loose end I decided to go to the cinema. One of the films playing was 'And Now for Something Completely Different'. By the time it got to the Parrot Sketch, I was already in trouble. Came the Adventure Tours sketch and I was having great difficulty in breathing. I thought I might have to leave the theatre it became so severe. Fortunately, though, I was young and fit and managed to sit through the entire film. Completely taken by surprise, I had never laughed so much!

Wow, a much better interview than I was expecting. John has been getting pretty crotchety lately and it was nice to see a far funnier man back in his place. Well done!

So what they're saying is that man who died watching his film ceased to be?

[@TheGoodDoctor1701]

He is an ex-Dane

[@bmorrow111100]

He is totally bereft of life

[@Ericwvb2]

No no, he's pining for the fjords.

For those of you with a literary bent, Trump most reminds me of Mr. Toad from "The Wind in the Willows."

Except Mr Toad had charm
