More Comedy Classics

I've just spent the afternoon watching Two Ronnies sketches on YouTube. This is the funniest thing I've seen for ages

It's about a short sighted Corbett going to see his short sighted optician(Barker)


No doubt Immo'll be along later to tell me it was originally done by some obscure Italian in 1939 and I've got no taste in comedy but hey ho

You are familiar with the work of the great auteur Giovanni "Arseio" Farrago?

I'm impressed Peps

No really :o

(It was '37 actually - but you were damn close)

BTW

You got no taste in comedy

When Channel 4 started up in the early Eighties it had lots of brilliant programmes like The Tube and Comic Strip.

This is Comic Strip's A Fistful Of Travellers' Cheques.

I couldn't resist this one. It's the Quiz Night from The Office

I see what you did there Peps

Seeing as though most of my answers in Crown's Billy were dunno I thought it would be apt to add this little gem. It's Keith's job appraisal from The Office

Tommy Cooper - Hat sketch.



( posted a vidjo frae youtoob the other night but no sure if i'm daein' it right noo ).

And yet still the funniest clip on the thread by quite a long way

The bit where he has to go back over what he's said to remember the line is fukkin beautiful

"I bought a greyhound the other day. My friend said - what are you goin to do with it? I said - I'm gonna race it. He said by the look of it, I think you'll beat it"

Whatttttttttttttt Is your favourite colour ?

That Comic Strip show, Pepe, does it get funny after 9 mins 35 ?

Spermy, youre an internet fantasist and half wit to boot so what would you know about comedy?

Anyway it's time to resurrect the best thread on CrownyMad

This is the half time team talk from Mike Bassett England Manager

This clip from the same film is 8 seconds long so even Spermy shouldn't have too much trouble digesting it.

OOOH this one's slipped down ya fuckers

Mike Bassett again

I think this guy might be based on an ex Rangers leg end

This one's especially for you Wam Bam

It's The Unpronounceables from The Fast Show

Everybody loves Kes

But this is the definitive version of the best bit: The Football Match. Right from the start through to where the lad gets bullied by the PE teacher in the dressing room.

"MY feet are like blocks of ice"

Worth watching even for you S(u)permo

Is this a youtube clip, or one of those notebooks where you have to flick the pages very quickly, Pepps ?

Sorry Mo I was so busy re-watching the clip I forgot to link to it. I know you don't drink (from what you've said on here) and I drink very rarely these days so when I decide to push the boat out (I've had a bottle of wine and 3 cans of Murphys) it hits me pretty hard. Anyway here's the clip.

You've bin away too long Peps

Always in my top 5 that one

Regularly bore the tits offa groups of 1st-year degree students with Kes during delivery of the sexily-titled "Mass-Media in the UK" unit.

My Dad snuck me in (below the certificate) to see it at the pictures a few years after it came out

Well below the certificate as it goes

I remember him arguing with the crimplene-uniformed hing-oot who was masquerading as a usefully employed member of society on that particular evening.

(I'm paraphrasing obviously...)

"Look- he's ma boy and if he's really upset by the fillum ah'll sort that oot maself - awright?"

(I'd've added "ya plooky-faced wee mouth-breathin nonentity" - but my Dad always hated upsetting people unnecessarily )

Thing is...

(a) He was only so keen to let me see it cos i was nuts on birdwatching and nature and stuff at the time.


(b) I realised even then that he was conciously nurturing something that he thought was a worthwhile pursuit for an 11/12(?)-year-old boy.

(Better than the alternatives for a kid my height and fighting weight in 1973/4 anyhow)



What i only began to realise as I grew older and uglier and wrinklier was that...

(c) He just got a simple kick out of being out somewhere. With me - his son.

I wish I'd realised it at the time insteada bein so pleased with myself for workin out (a) and (b)

Mibbes you hafta get old to work these things out.

I dunno.

I miss him summat cruel still tho.

I know that.





I know


Anyhow...



































Apart from that... I got no real feelings one way or the other on the previous clip

That made me wanna cry.


The Kes clip, I meant

OK, it didn't. I just wanted to join in.

I've posted this before I'm sure ...

Always give's me the big yukks tho - every single time

From 2.16 - 4.40...

Pure gold

And nothing at all like the home life of our dear queen

Or mine

I thought... funnnaaaay



I'd like to thenk the captain and the ship's company of the HMS Ark Royal for all their help

But find I am unable to do so due to telvision-watching commitments

Fah-ta-tah-ta, tah-ta-ta-tah
