John Cleese è ampiamente riconosciuto per i suoi contributi alla commedia britannica, in particolare attraverso il suo lavoro in iconici sketch show e sitcom. Il suo distintivo stile comico esplora spesso le assurdità della vita quotidiana e le convenzioni sociali con arguzia tagliente e umorismo intellettuale. Le interpretazioni di Cleese sono caratterizzate da un tempismo impeccabile e da un'abilità unica nell'incarnare personaggi memorabili, spesso eccentrici. La sua influenza sulla scrittura e sulla performance comica continua a risuonare, rendendo il suo lavoro un punto di riferimento per l'umorismo satirico e di osservazione.
