Wow, that Aiden sketch is spectacularly and painfully unfunny. Does he not realise that generations long after we're gone will still be marvelling over Monty Python and Fawlty Towers and their timelessness genius? What a sad sack of shit that man is

He must know it's bad - he's disabled the like/dislike ratio and commenting, FFS. I wonder why on earth it's kept up, tbh.

Some years back when my kids were little, we were watching The Holy Grail, and discovered there was an "extra" of lego mini figs performing the Spamalot routine at the end of the DVD. Grandad, dad, mum, two kids all laughed themselves breathless. I won't bother watching the Aiden dude's nonsense, he's such a boring, misogynistic scold, his sense of humour is clearly non existent.

Speaking of John Cleese, check out this nasty and ageist article where the sneering journalist wonders why an 81 year old is on Twitter and not spending their Sunday doing crosswords.

Now, imagine if an 81 year old came out as "trans", would they be told to shut up and just do crosswords instead?

"...built an entire comedy career off drag." Gross mischaracterization, for a start. Add to that the false assertion that anyone concerned about women's rights is 'anti trans' and they're off...

Talk about post-truth.

Yeah, let's slag him for the joke he made while making the same joke ourselves. That'll show em! 🤦‍♀️

Yeah.

I simply do not see ANY proof that Cleese is a transphobe, though. Of course, proof is neither requisite nor useful to these people, by appearances.

Ask a TRA to provide evidence of someone being transphobic, or what exactly did JK Rowling say that's transphobic and you'll be like that meme of a skeleton sitting on a bench waiting for their reply

On the first of the four pages of vile tweets aimed at JKR, is that Sarah Paulson the actress? If so, she’s a great actress but sadly, busy throwing fellow lesbians under the bus. Shame. I always liked her.

yes, unfortunately Sarah Paulson has Munchausens. Oh, sorry, I mean a 'trans child'
