Video of the Day [3.26.2009]

Today's video is a short collection of Fawlty Towers bloopers. If you've never seen it, Fawlty Towers, you're missing out. The show, which starred John Cleese, centered around Basil and Sybil Fawlty, as well as their employees Polly and Manuel. Basil, while trying to run the hotel properly, is often very unlucky at everything he tries to do, whether it be trying to impress a VIP or keeping quiet about the war (wink!). Filled with an even balance of physical and verbal comedy, this show is definitely worth watching. In fact, this was the first series I put onto my iPod when I got it up and running.

Video of the Day [3.25.2009]

Okay, today's video was going to be a Bonzo Dog video called "Equestrian Statue", however, the video has been removed due to copyright claims. Instead, I'll show a Rutland Weekend Television video, featuring Neil Innes and Eric Idle. Innes, a member of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah band, and Idle, a member of Monty Python, teamed up after the Python television days were over and formed The Rutles. This song is an a capella number performed by Innes and Idle about the closing of their show.
