Cleese becomes a brain dead Blueshirt parrot

John Cleese is parodying his own finer moments all. He might not "be dead yet," but brain death is an inexorably visible process.

When Charlie Chaplin played the Great Dictator, he could separate himself from the roles he played, a Thespian feat that Cleese has failed to emulate after years of playing very funny parts as outrageous bigots, We thought they were parodies when for Cleese it was Method Acting.
