The legendary Bernard Cribbins, showing Basil what 'awkward' really looks like!! 🤣

[@AfterWorkReactions]

LOL true!

[@Nekotaku_TV]

I love how Major just takes the bottle of wine for himself in the back. And the food. XD He's getting free stuff, love him.

[@zimjun7]

Yes! I hadn't gotten that far yet, but I sure remembered that expression on the Major's face.

[@walsingham-xxiii]

A splendid performance by Bernard Cribbins as not the Duke of Kent.

[@77jamess]

Poor chap. Bit of cheese!

[@bradders9743]

What? Was that actually Bernard Cribbins?

[@CMDRRustyDog]

@@bradders9743 It was.

[@rossross3689]

Ah so it was. I’ve never noticed that before. Big doctor who fan, love him.

"I am not a violent man Mr Fawlty..."

[@Ozzpot]

"I bet that dude's the inspector." 😊 Oh how perfect. The situational irony was not lost in translation.

[@AfterWorkReactions]

LOL =]

[@deeboweb]

The sign at the beginning was one of my fave parts, never knew what was gonna be written on it. “Flowery twats” was the best

[@zimjun7]

6:00 I love the sound of this guest when he blots the spilled wine. The silverware makes that clanging sound. Very effective for humor. I don't know why. I learned that phrase; Corked? "Yes. the wine is corked. The wine has reacted to the cork." Funny!

[@Uvray]

I remember one American guy saying many years ago that after staying in British hotels he realised Fawlty Towers is actually a documentary.

The idea for Fawlty Towers all came about after John Cleese stayed in a hotel and encountered the embodiment of Basil in the manager. / I see someone already pointed that out😉//

[@kristinmelinamercury8880]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@koshie66]

fun fact: Fawlty Towers is based on personal experience by John Cleese in a real hotel. There is an interview with John Cleese on the Fawlty Towers DVD set (the german set at least)

yes he is I would like to meet him lol 😳

[@zimjun7]

Yes.. and hotel manager was as he said "delightfully rude." It'd be a great lodging if it weren't for the guests." Gave John Cleese an endless idea for a sitcom.

[@jamesdowling9759]

There is a fawlty towers dining experience you can go to where you have dinner but it's chaos like this with actors playing the characters

[@adriandavies4873]

The property used in this series was originally called the grange the name was changed just for the filming it was situated in Wooburn Green near the small town of Bourne end in the county of Buckinghamshire UK . I was working 2 miles up the road and I drove past it every day 👍

The amazing Bernard Cribbins preparing Basil for Mrs Richards! Epic performances from all. Does anyone in America remember the name of the actor who played Cribben's character in the American version of the show...? Nope, thought not!

[@david-stewart]

I used to be a racist. When I was young. There weren't any black people in the suburb I grew up in. When I went to college I met black people and it totally changed me. I guess I needed to get this out that I'm sorry and I reject that disease completely. Might be curious channel to make this confession but here it is.

[@calvin3005]

So I hear you’re not a racist now David.

At 9:40, when Basil dumps the omlette on the Major's table, he immediately starts eating it.

[@martymart6143]

Yeah the Major was like a human dustbin. Eating whatever is put infront of him

[@getdavemoore]

6:56 - you quoted the "Basil" :) There's no turning back now Josh, you're one of us!

[@andrewpegge965]

You can’t get a feel for how funny these are without seeing the whole episodes

Hey, looking forward to more Fawlty Towers reactions soon, and also I'm Alan Partridge reactions, love those!!

[@Dogslife_]

I missed "Oh dear, did you get entangled in the eiderdown again?" 🤣

[@martinwragg8246]

Check out the Faulty Towers sign at the beginning of each episode 😉

[@tomsmith9208]

You got to check out the episode ‘Waldorf salad’ where the couple from California stay at the hotel and are considerably less than impressed at the English ways. Bruce Boa who plays the yank, his performance is absolutely brilliant.

[@Stardust_7273]

Lmao I love your reactions. My dad was from England so I was brought up on British humor, I know Fawlty Towers almost by heart. They would never have stayed in business if social media existed then.

[@AstroXeno]

The Young Ones, dude- One of the most popular British TV shows of the early 80s; Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall from Bottom are two of the main characters.

[@davidholgate123]

Bernard Cribbins is a national treasure and still going strong and working at 92!

[@davidbull7210]

This is the episode where it really hits its stride.

[@Lumibear.]

If I recall correctly, the character of Basil Fawlty was based on a hotelier the Monty Python gang stayed with in Torquay who was ex military and therefore used to people doing what he told them to. He was right wing, hated ‘normal people’s randomness’, and was very rude, meaning most moved to another hotel, but John Cleese saw potential and stayed on to observe him.

[@AfterWorkReactions]

That is interesting thanks for the info bud!

[@25dimensionsfrancis42]

You may wish to see a short 2.14 vid called Alfred Hitchcock Spoof . The spoof is a Big Train vid and is a spoof on the working class in Britain using the movie "The Birds" as a background theme.

[@DIDCOTTWIST]

Bernard Cribbins Told the storys and did the voices in the TV show The Wombles

[@AfterWorkReactions]

Thanks for the info bud!

[@CA5124]

This is my go to channel for comedy reactions 🤣 Basil Fawlty epitomises old fashioned male English Eccentricity to a tee ! This was filmed in Torquay in the South of England 👌

[@jerryhayes9497]

It was SET in Torquay... But it was filmed in Buckinghamshire

[@willkingswell5921]

Mate watching this stuff with my dad growing up i feel like its part of my cultural heritage, its so surreal watching an American guy surrounded by action figures watching it. Love it!

[@gemmapeasgood4893]

John Cleese (Mr Fawlty) is one of the Month Python team. The group stayed in a terrible hotel in an old-fashioned seaside town called Torquay (pronounced Torkee). This series is based on their experiences

[@anitahargreaves9526]

Can't say where I was in UK, but a local Chinese closed for finding 🐕 in freezer. I ate on a Tuesday having beef. Never been since lasagne at local frozen store had horse meat. Had by accident in Paris with my mum. Snails yes, but I still am not vegetarian. Congratulations to those that are.

[@jasonpayne2434]

Glad you liked this episode, they do just keep getting funnier and funnier though, my 3 favourite episodes are all in season 2

[@Bazroshan]

I know someone who used to work in a hotel and it seemed like a nest of vipers from what he told me.

[@stephenmcmahon5833]

Faulty Towers, one of the finest British /English comedies ever written. Apparently inspired by a hotel stay while filming The Holy Grail by Cleese, with the Python team

[@guitarjamie]

Always love these videos Josh! The actor who plays that waiter that gets thrown around the place, Andrew Sachs, was the victim of a very controversial prank call by Jonathon Ross and Russell Brand on a radio show years ago, it made headlines. Would love to hear your reaction to that video!

[@jaynodubya4300]

Your laugh is incredible. I’m from the north west of England and your videos are great. Love the shirt too 😊

[@johndoa4839]

After the Germans this is my second favourite faulty towers episode Seeing your reaction made me dig out my dvd box set and rewatch all 12 again for the 100th Thanks for the upload cheered me right up

[@rflanaganagan8489]

I was thinking about that "my little nest of vipers" line a couple of days ago

[@rogerbrumpton8528]

I'm really enjoying your Fawlty Towers reactions, I've long been a fan of this show, Monty Python and John Cleese. I live in Torquay, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 where the series is set and I wondered if you knew it was based on an actual hotel manager who ran a hotel the Pythons stayed in back in the '70s when they were filming their tv series Monty Pythons Flying Circus. It was called the Gleneagles Hotel, and really was just as wacky as John Cleese made out. Looking forward to your future reactions!

[@CaptainBollocks....]

I used to live in Torquay. Was surprised to learn today that Gleneagles is no more 😢

[@martymart6143]

[@cityman2312]

The more Fawlty fawns over an "inspector" the less likely he is to be a real inspector.

[@kennbannister5085]

Looking forward to seeing more of your Fawlty Towers reactions 🙂

[@lynneivison5773]

john cleese met an irritable hotel manager and based character on him

[@alecbuxton5515]

Not many people know thia but because of his fame in Fawley towers John cleese did customer service training skeatches for company training films in the same style as basil fawltey which also incresed his fame

[@markhunt840]

You know mate the series is based on a Hotel they went to with his wife, Connie Booth. The Owner was apparently JUST like BASIL' That why they made the episodes xD

[@Stidean]

Been waiting 😂😂😂😂😂

[@scotty7233]

Love your Reaction hotel inspectors funny Episode Basil fort any one was a hotel inspector now then gentleman what can do for you 3 gentlemen 😂😂😂

[@dannythedoodle]

I love the way that if Basil (or anyone else besides Manuel) happened to be behind the counter when the real inspectors arrived, it would've been obvious what they were there for by and everything would've run smoothly......actually, probably not 😄

[@Darragh1]

I feel so envious you are just watching Fawlty Towers now.... I'm only 32 but watched it when I was 12. Wait until you get to the episode"THE GERMANS" you'll cry laughing. Hahah.... You need to watch more Father Ted. Also you should watch The Fast Show, is amazing. How do we send requests for you to watch. 😆

[@benjamingriffiths644]

That was also this episode when I watched Fawlty towers for the very first time 🙂

[@jericoba]

Great episode indeed!

[@souldreamer9056]

I can’t wait unlit you get to The Psychiatrist in S02E03. That is my favourite. I also think you will enjoy Waldorf Salad, as it has an American coming to visit.

[@belladonnichazeyjane4887]

They're all on patreon if you'd prefer not to wait. He finished Fawlty Towers weeks ago. Well worth a couple of £ to binge them and help support Josh's channel. He has hundreds of episodes of things on there including films.

[@souldreamer9056]

Belladonnichazeyjane - I heard him saying patron a few times. What is this patron? Similar to KZbin?

[@kieranc9803]

Hi man, love your videos as always, I would highly recommend "Bunny and the Bull" it is crazy bizarre English humour and was directed by the director of "the mighty boosh". It has some familiar faces too like Simon Farnaby, Richard Ayoade and Nole Fielding. Keep up the great work man, stay safe during these wild times, much love from England!

[@Kotten84]

Great episode (just like all of Fawlty Tower episodes) and it really shows how Basil can be incredibly rude to guests he don't like and overly nice to the ones he like. The switch between being a prick and a suck-up is brilliant. Also, poor Manuel.

[@jkerr962]

You have to watch the one with the dead body 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@martymart6143]

Agreed, that's my favourite episode

[@BenBanjo87]

Even though the "inspector" mix-up was Basil's mistake, that spoons salesman did kind of deserve what happened for being a pedantic snob!

[@olliebonugli8881]

Fun fact: the incident with the wine cork was not scripted. The cork genuinely got stuck, then actually broke off inside the bottle, then the wine was spilled by mistake. It wasn’t written in, but when it happened rather than cut and reshoot they improvised and kept rolling!

[@AstroXeno]

Fun Fact: In case nobody's mentioned it already, Connie Booth (Polly) and John Cleese were married in real life at the time this show was being made. (She's also in several episodes of Monty Python)

[@JeremyPhillips1981]

John Cleese said that apart from the Python team and Kevin Kline, Bernard Cribbins was the finest comedy actor he ever worked with.

[@Ryan-id1kr]

One of my favourite episodes

[@MultipleMadness1]

Amazing episode, amazing series!!!

[@AfterWorkReactions]

I loved this one so hilarious =]

[@daveneave8311]

The character of basil... is based on a true person John cleese encountered at a hotel in torquay... that's where the concept came from...

[@bighuge1060]

John Cleese expressed this as one of his favorite episodes solely for the acting of both the suspected hotel inspectors. Interestingly, he was troubled by the fan favorite episode, "The Germans" because of two bits that didn't work out to his satisfaction; one being him hitting his head on Manuel's pan because it wasn't convincing to him. But on The Hotel Inspectors commentary track, he fawn over both those other actors' convincing portrayals. Also, the cork not coming out of the bottle was a mistake that they stuck with and left in the show.

[@stevemccullagh36]

YES! My favourite episode!

[@garydunning2433]

When I see you my friend I cant help thinking of "the Cosby show " :)

[@junkybabes]

Fawlty was pretty representative of a lot of small hotels and B and Bs in the UK in the 70s and 80s ......the running of the operation would be so much easier without the guests
