Hm, John Cleeze saying the F word, it's a whole new type of humor...
Didn't get me to actually check out the product though  |

Sorry to be pedantic, but the immortal JC uttered the F word in a Monty Python (vinyl) record back in the 70s' - for the infamous cheese-shop sketch.

Not sure if it was the same in the film (And now for something completely different) |

Not at all, pedantics is more then welcome concerning anything of value - as is most Monty material.
Anyway, i'm afraid there are no cheese-related sketches in "something completely different" (have it here, with subtitles file, no cheese or cuss words), but I remain corrected concerning the use of F; you would agree however, that the backup-recovery sketch in question is a far cry from both his usual humor or quality, would you not? |

Well, it's amazing what some performers will do for a buck, but I don't think Mr. Cleese is in that category. He does like doing "infomercial" stuff - in the eighties he made business training videos (that are mildly amusing) he says just because it interested him.
IMHO he's in an inevitable long slow decline. I can't think of much that he has done recently is anything like the wit and humour of his youth and middle-years - Shrek 2 (a smile or two), the new "Q" for James Bond (or whatever letter he is). He is, like all of us, getting older.  |

| Indeed, but I hope this is not truely "inevitable" as you say - although in all truth, Peter Sellers has travelled the same route, as had Atkinson... Is there no hope for aging comedians? |
