Monty Python veteran John Cleese is mocking fellow actor Hank Azaria over his apology for voicing the role of Apu on Fox’s The Simpsons. In a sarcastic gesture, Cleese offered his own apology for making fun of “white English people” in numerous Monty Python sketches.
John Cleese tweeted his pretend apology Tuesday, just days after Hank Azaria said during a podcast interview that he feels the need “to go to every single Indian person in this country and personally apologize” for playing Apu, the show’s Kwik-E Mart proprietor who hails from India.
In response, Cleese expressed sorrow “for any distress we [Monty Python] may have caused” for mocking English people.

Thanks for that John. LOL! As I recall, it wasn't just the English that were mocked. So a much YUGER apology may be required. LOL!

Meanwhile, has Hank Azaria apologized for his fake British accent as the Blue Rajah in Mystery Men? Nope.

Hopefully he never apologizes for mocking the Welsh. He’d be unable to call himself English if so.

We never watched more than 2 minutes of the Simpson’s. It’s a cartoon - as an adult I have moved on from cartoons, many years ago. Give me Live PD back, thank goodness Cops Reloaded is back on, now thats my cartoon!

If Azaria is so damned sorry, does he plan on returning the millions he made while portraying Apu?

Mr Cleese I shall remain offended to my grave. The terror you inflicted upon us wypeepo will never be assuaged. I can’t even leave my house.

I don’t think John Cleese’s movie, A FISH CALLED WANDA, starring Jaime Lee Curtis, Kevin Klein and Cleese himself can ever be made today.
