I'm assuming that would be Cleese in Fawlty Towers? Never seen the show, but it seems a safe guess.

Ya, that would be John Cleese, alright! (As Basil Faulty in "Faulty Towers")

AWESOME show. Only made 12 episodes, so it's easy to see them all, and they're SO funny!

I always wanted to see Faulty Towers, all I've seen from it is about 45 seconds of footage that is in a documentary on the Life of Brian DVD - which features Cleese impersonating Hitler while doing the silly walk!

“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

Okay, just went on a Brit TV bender on Netflix. I've got Fawlty Towers, The Office, and Coupling seasons in my queue. With how full my queue is now, I'm gonna need to live to 200 years old to watch 'em all.

Fawlty Towers is uproarious! My mother refuses to watch it because it reminds her too much of my grandpa (my dad's dad).

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

"Fawlty Towers" is the name of the hotel. Named after the owner, Basil Fawlty. Or perhaps his wife...

Oh. It makes me think "Faulty Towers"--Like towers with flaws in them.

No, the fault is in the brain of the hotel manager in this case...

He was the manager of Fawlty Towers. Everything would always go wrong and - as they say - hilarity insued.

Incom is correct and right. I suppose that was a little too easy.

Um.. Is the "Fawlty Towers" a movie or TV show.. or an actual hotel? What is it? What is funny about them?
