Well, I hope this teaches you a lesson, young man! You should never have any food anywhere near your mouth while trying to watch ANY Monty Python sketch! lol
I love it! How wonderful. Atkinson is a slapstick master and Cleese heightens this effect beautifully. Two of my all-time faves on the same stage...wow.
I remember when my aunt and her Australian husband came to visit, I had an mp3 copy of it and had it played while we were driving along. The skit drove her husband into fits of laughter throughout the trip and my aunt was scratching her head on why it was so funny...
One of the most epic things I've ever seen in my life (quack!), since they're both shining their distinctive styles at the same time - is this the only time these two badasses worked together?
These two, John Cleese and Rowan Atkinson, ought to pair up more often, they are so good together! The last time one remembers laughing so uncontrollably was watching the original Pink Panther series, especially the massage conversation and the attempted entry into castle.
This is really too funny, I can't stop laughing at all, keep running out of breath and have to pause 😂 Well done to whoever wrote this script, its made my day so much better
@@buggerall That's got nothing to do with it. A beekeeper is tasked with keeping bees. He wouldn't be much of a beekeeper if say, God forbid, they managed to escape.
If this were being done by the original Monty Python group, John would be doing the part of the interviewer and Graham Chapman would be the beekeeper. :) Those guys were a classic team, such great chemistry... I'm so glad to see that a pro like Rowan has the same chemistry with John, hope they do more work together, too funny!! XD
I spat milk on my screen laughing out lout while having breakfastand watching. Cleaning it was hard work, but worth it. I have to watch this every few month since many years and still can´t control my laughing attacks - Shusshhh
I love how often Cleese’s sketches end in him shooting someone. He keeps up the character on Twitter nowadays too, having recently called someone a “dago idiot” for PERFECTLY JUSTIFIED REASONS.
It's miraculous, but after watching it for about 30 times now I can say it gets better every time! Those details... it's amazing! And how does Cleese succeed in staying so brilliantly irritated under al those sounds and faces Atkinson produces... That IS talent, yeah. Very rare, very lonely at the top.
Its Canadian Thanksgiving Monday 2019 🌽🌶🥗🍺🍻🥂 👍🏻 we just put the 🦃 to bake so I'm passing the time watching Rowan Atkinson on UA-cam!!! The funniest comedian in all the world 🌎
This is gold. Two of the greatest comedians ever on the stage together. I would literally have killed to be able to see this.

Best recommendation from UA-cam that I will ever receive and almost impossible to top. All my Christmas’ and birthdays have come at once.
It's like watching Robin Williams and Jonathan Winters riff off of each other in a "60 Minutes" feature I saw some years ago. Two epic masters working in perfect harmony!
No no no, those are the ones he does best. Look at Basil Fawlty. Watching him gradually become more and more irritated to the point of insanity is fantastic and seems to work well with Rowans ''keep a straight face while doing something incredibly stupid'' routine. Also I wouldn't say he was seconded, if anything I'd say theyare both rather even in this sketch.

It's scripted, because it's an older skit. There's another version with Cleese too.
