Monty Python legend John Cleese trolled Hank Azaria over his publicly announced regret for voicing “The Simpsons” character Apu — penning his own tongue-in-cheek “apology.”
“Not wishing to be left behind by Hank Azaria, I would like to apologise on behalf on Monty Python for all the many sketches we did making fun of white English people,” Cleese tweeted earlier this week. “We’re sorry for any distress we may have caused.”
The 81-year-old comedy king’s post came the same day Azaria apologized for his stereotypical portrayal of Apu Nahasapeemapetilon — the fictitious Indian American owner of Springfield’s Kwik-E-Mart.
“Part of me feels like I need to go to every single Indian person in this country and personally apologize,” Azaria said in a new interview. “And sometimes I do.”

Cleese is a liberal, but at least he’s an old-school one.

Stig: Well he had to, didn’t he? I mean there was nothing else he could do, be fair. I had transgressed the unwritten law.
Interviewer: What had you done?
Stig: Er... well he didn’t tell me that, but he gave me his word that it was the case, and that’s good enough for me with old Dinsy. I mean, he didn’t *want* to nail my head to the floor. I had to insist. He wanted to let me off. He’d do anything for you, Dinsdale would.
Interviewer: And you don’t bear him a grudge?
Stig: A grudge! Old Dinsy. He was a real darling.
Interviewer: I understand he also nailed your wife’s head to a coffee table. Isn’t that true Mrs O’ Tracy?
Mrs O’ Tracy: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Stig: Well he did do that, yeah. He was a hard man. Vicious but fair
Monty Python has a lot to answer for based on those Hungarian phrasebooks alone!
My hovercraft is filled with eels!
Funny as Hank Azaria starred on Broadway in Python’s Spamalot.
My strong suspicion is that there are far more young white leftists offended by the Apu thing than there are Indian people. There are far more young white leftists offended by any racial issue than there are any people of color. Young white leftists have taken on the ability to be offended on everyone else’s behalf, and they always take offense against other white people.
“Not wishing to be left behind by Hank Azaria, I would like to apologise on behalf on Monty Python for all the many sketches we did making fun of white English people,” Cleese tweeted earlier this week. “We’re sorry for any distress we may have caused.”
Spiny Norman says Hi!
Upper Class Twits are still angry that daddy didn’t pay for their award that year.
How about this, from some clown making a living on the public’s dime: “I’ve had a great relationship. In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian-Americans moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking,”
“You have beautiful thighs”...and the constable (Graham Chapman) looks down at his thighs. Classic!
Just out of curiosity...did you know that The Piranha Brothers was based (at least loosely) on two *real* London gangsters?
