John Cleese mocks Hank Azaria after Apu apology

Cleese, who has previously condemned 'woke jokes', jokingly said that he would be apologising to 'white English people'.

Ideal couch potato fare for a Friday night. Chuck that ready meal into the microwave and sit back for this easily consumable Britcom. Simon Pegg blatantly isn't a porker but, otherwise, the Shaun Of The Dead star is well cast as Dennis, a low-ambition man-child whose loser status is confirmed when he leaves Thandie Newton at the altar. Fast forward a few years and he wants to win her back, particularly after she looks like she might hook up with a smoothy-chops exec played by Hank Azaria. When the two men enter the London Marathon, the contest starts to heat up. It's untaxing and predictable, offering a few surprising snorts of laughter. The most memorable oddities are Dylan Moran as the Rhys-Ifans-from-Notting-Hill-type best friend and the fact this is the feature film directorial debut by David 'Ross from Friends' Schwimmer.
