he lost his funny in psychotherapy

Aging is a bitch.
You'll know that too in about 50 years.

He was always a jerk, age just aggravated it

he became Basil Fawlty

A combination of being a comedian and intelligent in todays stupid and sensitive world.

His wife left him.

1) He's a Brit.
2) He's a Python.
3) What the others said.

His wife took all his fucking money and he had to come out of retirement at 150 years old to do shit like voicing a butler in payday 2.

his wife cleaned out all his assets

I blame Manuel

Que?

>people quoting his shit lines at him for decades

...

I think he alwas was. He just old enough for not to hide it anymore.

>'In July I will make the last payment and then I will have given her $20 million,' he explained.

I SAID I BLAME MANUEL! MAN-UEL! AMO A MANUEL?!?

>fell for the marriage meme
Serves him right.

Fucking this. Fuck women and their bullshit

JUST

Well, the marriage. But you're completly bonkers if you'd think Cleese would ever settle into being a kind, avancular old man.

Fairly sure Megan Fox and that chick from The Bing Bazinga Theory had to pay their ex-husband's alimony. It's all about who has more money.

I'm waiting for George Clooney to get legally fucked up the arse by his LAWYER WIFE should that marriage fall apart.

He got divorced and has money problems. His venture in the gaming industry is fun to watch.

>I'm waiting for George Clooney to get legally fucked up the arse by his LAWYER WIFE should that marriage fall apart.

user...

JUST

>$20 million
>for absolutely no reason
How somebody could live with taking that much for nothing, especially from someone you supposedly loved, is inconceivable.

Women. They moment you lose any value the saw in you they turn into cold sadistic monsters.

DAMN YOU BLORFMMM!!!!!!

This. He got absolutely FUCKED in that divorce. It's one of the reasons the Pythons reformed for those London gigs. Apparently his solo comedy tour recently was openly a fuck you I'm broke gig.

Decades upon decades of overdue TV license bills.

It wasn't a meme when he got married though.

He's had to watch his homeland slowly die over the last 60 years.

lol, look at the perturbed look on that ABC reporter's cunt face.

There was a time when he was probably to the conventional left and fine with some of the policies that lead to this happening. Which is probably why he's bitter about it. It's kind of like his marriage in that he thought he was going to get a sweet and happy deal and ended up fucked over and having to pay through the nose for it.

After all, nobody hates leftwing orthodoxy more than ex-lefties who've come to realize what a fucking delusion it all is.

lost his virginity at 21

You do realize that there are leftists who are against this shit, no?

should've just made her pregnant you dumbfuck

I bet Clooney didn't want kids because there already are too many people in the world or some dumb reason like taht

He was just trying to avoid paying even larger alimony for child support once they inevitably divorce.

Yea and then he would have had to pay A L I M O N Y

Of course I do. I also realize they're a complete non-entity to the point they might as well not exist. Being a leftist who suddenly breaks rank and says enabling what is essentially non-European colonization of major cities is a bad thing will kill your clout with the leftwing establishment in virtually any Western leftwing party that calls itself such. I wouldn't be an ex-leftie if it were possible to be anti-mass immigration in a leftwing party as anything but a pariah.

They have twins now and no breakup

He's like my favorite British comedian. Is any of his new material good?

He's the only man in the world who can't fuck his daughters. I'd be a little pissed as well.

JOHN! We are the knights who-
>John Cleese takes a giant stride up to you and slides a knife between your ribs
>Leans back with a giant grin on his face and cackles as you crumple to the ground

>dad used to work as a waiter in high class London restaurants the late 70s/early 80s
>always loved Monty Python, Fawlty Towers etc.
>John Cleese came in to somewhere he worked one night and signed a napkin for him, he still has it around somewhere
>got an answerphone message a couple of months ago from an insurance company cold call thing where they got Cleese to record a few lines about end of life cover or some other such shit, he had to introduce himself and everything, most fucking depressing thing I've ever heard
>mfw deleting it so my dad didn't have to hear it

apparently he despises his mother, so a pretty common issue really.

Because he never had the makings of a varsity athlete.

this. the poor bastard is a realist.

>(((Eichelberger)))

wew

>will kill your clout with the leftwing establishment in virtually any Western leftwing party that calls itself such.
Oh wait, are you implying that liberals are leftists as well? Because otherwise I don't see any actual relevant "leftwing establishment" existing. Read some Zizek, my friend.

>Read some Zizek, my friend.
Are you being ironic? Literally the Neil DeGrasse Tyson of philosophers
No thanks

One word ALL men should be taunt and understand.

PRENUP

ALIMONY

Ah yes, write a book with 1000 pages on Hegel and get called Neil DeGrasse Tyson of philosophers. Worth it.

She's an American Jew and the divorce was in America and he was a foreigner
He had no chance

How much power does a prenup hold these days?

As long as contemporary leftists fall in line with the same ideas liberals have when it comes to unfettered immigration and European cultural masochism, then there's not much use in differentiating them on those topics.

Your '50s era socialist parties are dead and gone and they're not coming back. Zizek is irrelevant. Take one look at Labour and try and say with a straight face that it isn't the British political embodiment of the same platforms turning European cities into MENA colonies. The further to the left you go with the parties the worse it gets. There's absolutely no relevant mass of leftwingers opposing mass immigration in any way in the UK. If you happen to be leftwing and are opposed to it then you can count on being denied any support or platform and you will be equated to the furthest reaches of the right for simply suggesting it.

This hit to close to home. At least I didn't lose money, other than thousands of dollars to "the man must pay for everything" meme.

You should assume none. Don't marry. It's a meme and you will get fucked, whether she divorces you and takes all your things that she isn't entitled to in any way, or not. Total meme. Don't do it. No Christian society means you don't get married. No shame in divorce means you get fucked - it's highly likely.

You're not wrong here and I get what you're saying. I'll still be one of the few left then.

>No shame in divorce means you get fucked - it's highly likely.
I didn't even realize this now. Society at large used to frown upon divorce and broken homes. These days it's practically encouraged to leave your spouse even if you have children, because even if you're overreacting to something trivial that you can both work through, you "deserve to be happy". If you're a woman.

What actual incentive does a man have to marry besides social pressure and feeling like they have to?

>What actual incentive does a man have to marry besides social pressure and feeling like they have to?
I don't know. Love, maybe?

>What actual incentive does a man have to marry besides social pressure and feeling like they have to?
Wanting to keep his society stable so it doesn't get flooded by foreigners at the behest of naive morons?

Pfft.

You can love someone without marriage. It's just an excuse for the girl to be the center of attention for a day and celebrate her newfound excuse for letting herself go with a big fat slice of cake.

What does marriage have to do with love?

Marriage was a contract, it ensured that the man would provide and the woman would remain faithful and loyal.

Now the courts have decided that even if the woman does not remain faithful and loyal, even if the two are no longer married, the man will provide.

Doesn't seem fair, does it?

Because he walks through London and it's like being in the Middle East.

Prenups are fucking ironclad. The only thing a prenup doesn't protect you from is shit you decide to leave off the prenup.

Even if you're living with your spouse you should have a fucking prenup because in some countries common-law falls under the same rules are marriage.

People say it's cold but I think nothing is more desirable in a spouse than someone who doesn't want to get fucked over or someone who isn't retarded enough to believe romance is always pure.

Teller lost his at age 22/23.

Fucking love Cleese and Teller both.

He's right. Marriage is a Christian and religious institution. Marry a non Christian (including retarded women who are Christian in name only) and marriage is a secular legal contract and the woman WILL treat it as such. Women are constantly told on TV divorce is exciting and empowering if they are bored or don't think you look or earn enough to impress their friends its over.

>supported brexit
>hates trump
>liberal democrat supporter
Really makes you think.

Ex-wife took all his money.
>tfw I saw him in a commercial for a national electronics chain a few years ago
I'm a fucking Swede, what the hell was he even doing here?
It was so pathetic that I had to change the channel every time it came on. Poor bastard. Marriage is a fucking sham.

He was doing adds for bank in Poland too few years back. Him and Kevin Spacey but that was before the House of Cards

He saw what was happening to the UK.

Christians get divorced all the time, despite your "No TRUE Christian" absurdity.

My mom doesn't own a television because she believes it is satanic. Every aspect of her life revolves around her faith. She couldn't be more Christian if she were the Pope. She divorced my dad.

>My mom doesn't own a television because she believes it is satanic.
She's right, you know.

>he left Connie Booth for this

There is a point where it becomes cheaper and more convenient to resort to murder than to pay alimony, and that point is 20,000 dollars. That is the price of a human life. This man could have hired me to kill his bitch and he would be 20 million dollars richer. He could have paid some nigger off the street 1000 dollars to do her in and then payed another nog 1000 dollars in drugs to kill the other nog so no one would know how his wife died. He could have done so many things to kill his wife. I mean sure it sounds edgy but 20 millions dollars is probably worth it.

jews

>She's right, you know.
unironically this

same thing

kek

How is it absurd? It doesn't matter how or how much your mother chooses to worship, divorce is simply not the Christian thing to do.

Life makes you bitter.

>supported brexit
>hates trump
Choose one and only one.

Shit, I feel bad for him, but better to do shitty work and keep in making money than drowning and becoming Frasier

>psychotherapy
whats his deal with psychotherapy? both his wives were psychologists or something

- I think you have a great eye for Ukrainian culture. What do you make of Ukrainian culture now? Particularly after the riots that we've seen.
- I'm not... I'm not sure what's going on in Ukraine. Let me say... I don't know what's going on in Kyiv. Because Kyiv is no longer a Ukrainian city and that's why they got the Eurovision. I mean they said we're the most cosmpolitan city but it doesn't feel Ukrainian. I had a Moldovan friend come over two months ago, walk down a Khreshchatyk and said "Where are all the Ukrainian people?". I mean, I love having different cultures around but when the parent culture kind of... dissipates, um... You're left thinking... "What's going on?"

I think he suffers from a sense that you have to play fair in life. He's a very intelligent guy. But I think he has a very old fashioned sense of "properness" (despite everything they did in Python) that will just get you killed now. Trump is very very improper, but in this day and age, that's what gets results. You beat your enemy at their own filthy game. Playing fair gets you a 20 million dollar ass-fucking in a divorce. It puts you in a seven year hell.

Cleese would get destroyed in politics and business. He'd be an easy mark.

But I think he's a good guy. He's right about Brexit. He doesn't understand Trump.

>Life makes you bitter.
Pretty much this.
Also, as we get older, chronic pain becomes more common. That can sour anybody's mood.

I hate women so damn much

>tfw have chronic pain for several different reasons since I was 16

Old age and experience
As you get older more and more bad things start happening. Dreams die, someone cheats on you, friends and family die etc. It's only natural to become resentful and start hating the world.

This, women can just completely fall out of love with you and then come up with all these self-justifying bullshit reasons to fuck you over. I can guarantee you that she doesn't feel a shred of guilt for raking in 20 million from an incredibly gifted man doing demeaning work beneath him whilst she sits around doing yoga and reading empty self-indulgent trash like "Eat, Pray, Love"; believing without irony that she is in fact the one who is sensitive and considerate

>>'In July I will make the last payment and then I will have given her $20 million,' he explained.

muslims and faggots and communists. same as the rest of us

> You do realize that there are leftists who are against this shit, no?

The nature of Leftist philosophy (the Group > the Individual) means that if a Leftist goes against the group’s dogma, he is an outcast and ostracized even if he still agrees with other aspects of Leftist philosophy.

Rightwing philosophy, being based on the idea of the Individual > the Group, allows and even encourages debate.

tl;dr the Left is a cult.

>The nature of Leftist philosophy (the Group > the Individual)
yeah nah you're retarded

Didn't he actually loathe everything about Monty Python?

If they don't believe it why do they act it out?
