Reader Reviews
This review is from: How to Irritate People (VHS Tape)
Even if he is best known as a performer, John Cleese is also one of the most intelligent writers of comedy around. His sketches for Monty Python (often written in collaboration with the mad Graham Chapman) were loopy enough to defuse the anger that simmered underneath, and the FAWLTY TOWERS series are so elegantly plotted and beautifully written. This collection of skits has some hilarious moments, such as when three pilots torture their passengers by pretending something has gone terribly wrong; and Cleese portrays the most overly-solicitous date in the world with excruciating thoroughness. Overall, however, this may disappoint some fans. Many of these skits lack the polish and genius of the Python series. One skit about an obsessive waiter was reworked and vastly improved on the Python series (you can also check it out in their film AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT). It comes off as a collection of out-takes, held together rather thinly with its documentary theme. The anger that is frequently present in Cleese's sketch writing also prevails over the humor throughout, making this a collection heavier on hostility than wit.
