haha lol why is British sketch comedy often so much funnier than American? I mean I'm American but I think this is hilarious. Monty Python too, of course.
I recognize that "Quicker than the ray of light she's flying" where have I heard it from? I thinnnkk it's from a ringtone on my phone. I don't know. Haha anyone know what it is?
It is Darude - Sandstorm, Its not played out, because in music, there are two rules. Play out when you are supposed to and Count. Therefore, since Darude Sandstorm has not made an appearance yet, it should be allowed to play out. And yes, it counts.
@jump4h it's america's lack of desire to be witty over funny. American want to just be funny, Brits want to be witty at the same time. It's a sophistication which Americans so often lack... although, the comedy greats new and old like Will Ferrell and Robin WIlliams tap into this sometimes while giving the American twist which is a complete disregard for diginity. Don't get me wrong, i'm american as well, and freakin' love Robin and Will... but they don't beat Monty Python or Blackadder.
British comedy is not funnier than American comedy, it is just that the sense of humor is different in the two cultures. The British cannot create comedy like Seinfeld or Cheers and Americans cannot create comedy like Yes Minister or Spitting Image.
The British just thinks they are funny but they arent i am like wtf..... I found the Victor Borge ones and Igudesman and Joo ones much more better. I dont mind they put music and comedy together, I adore the ones that are great, but this is just...... Stupid.
Nick Mohammed is a talented person indeed.
CAN WE GET THE SHEEP OUTTA HERE PLEASE?! *BANG*
"AHH!"
"oh sorry... awww god.."
OMG I LOVE it when he points and the orchestra plays that one chord! LOL XD
2022 and it's still funny to watch
An accurate representation of our Thursday and Tuesday night rehearsals 😂😂😂
Nick Mohammed is great. I feel this was inspired by the Rowan Atkinson sketch from the Secret Policeman's Ball.
omg the way he teaches just look like my choir conductor
Just love the British sense of humour!!!
I love this. This is basically what happens in one of my bands, minus the sheep.
Prokofiev's symphony no. 5 in the finale :D Yay!!
It starts off with Beethoven's 7th symphony and the bit you hear at 0:20 is Pachabel's canon.
Wonderful, who is this wonderful man??
+jeni evans Nick Mohammed
Excellent job from the conductor - great timing and very clever!
Ángela Gheorghiu with the Liberame from Verdi's Requiem at 1:06
I would love to here the song he is trying to rehearse from beginning to end.
Here from Off Menu podcast
who’s here from off menu
And finally basses- raaaaaawr!!!! ROFL
Amazing 😂
this guy is brilliant!!
1:37 lovely horns! :D
THE TENORS HAHA!
@Mint89674523 Favorite part of the entire thing. That and the "AHHH!" Okay, now Sopranos! *higher pitched scream*
REST REST COUNT REST REST REST *hooorns*
Horns, lovely. :)
This is how I feel in front of my Band!
Genius
Brilliant
39 people were the sheep haha
How brilliant to see such a discussion happen without descending into an argument... perhaps CZcams is improving :D
This is so funny. And I agree with Rachel.
Tenors : "Liberae Mae Domine......" Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
This is great - superb dialogue!
That was fucking halarious!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG OUR ORCHESTRA'S ON TV MOM!!!
@SuckerForRockers It's the very last bit of Prokofiev 5!
Excellent !!
saw this at garth hill college! brilliant
Brilliant!
ahahahaha classic
The first chord makes me think Star Wars.
ahahahahahahaha!!! classic!
Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Woah.
actually they can. there are also female basses, just very rare. Evidence has shown that Vivaldi used an entirely female choir at the written pitch.
haha lol
why is British sketch comedy often so much funnier than American? I mean I'm American but I think this is hilarious. Monty Python too, of course.
@archersinner Ohhh. I gotcha. And yes, at 1:37 it is No. 5. It's the beginning of the second theme. :D
lolz
Is that Nate the great?
Does anybody know about the violin passage at the very end of the video? Sounds so familiar....Is it prokofiev or am I crazy?
It's last bar of Prokofiev 5th Symphony.
Greetings from East Anglia in Englandland
The bit at 0:20 is "Phil Collins - Cant Stop Loving You", isn't it.
Bwahahaha this is AMAZING :DDD
HELP
Does anyone know the part of the song that the flutes were playing? I recognise it but I don't remember it!!!!
0:50- 0:52
It's called, Dance of the reed, and it's from the Nutcracker ballet suit by Tchaikovsky
@archersinner You mean Symphony No. 5?
thats hilarious!
Truth.
Ahaha very funny :))
Ohh okay. I remember it from yahoo messenger! That really was bugging me lol.
I recognize that "Quicker than the ray of light she's flying" where have I heard it from? I thinnnkk it's from a ringtone on my phone. I don't know. Haha anyone know what it is?
a ha..this ia good
FUNNY !!!!!! =)) =)) =))
Where is the sountrack for everything but his talking and the audience laughing? Because I want it soo bad.
wow...
wondering the same thing!
Who knows what is the melody from 0:20?
@shaylen911 Then Phil is using the same chord progression as Pach did with his Canon. :-)
Hypnoticsloth
That would be the score of the movie "Close encounters of the third kind"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_Encounters_of_the_Third_Kind
is there a live orchestra?
hi its now 2020
does anybody mind telling me what the song is at 1.32?
What is the part at 1:46 from?
This has all the right elements but sorry can't help thinking it's not a patch on Igudesman and Joo.
it'S
Madonna - Ray Of Light
Who is this conductor? I just NEEEEEED to know..
anyone know the song at 1:32??
Does anyone know the song at 1:32?
is the last bit from bartok's concerto for orchestra?
It's from Prokofiev's 5th Symphony, not Bartok.
not bad :P
What's the piece the 'horns' start playing?
You mean at 1:36? It's from Beethoven's fifth symphony, 1st mov.
Are you kidding me? I'm an alto and can sing most Tenor range easily.
What is the song at 1:48?
If you say "Darude - Sandstorm", don't you think that's a little played out yet?
It's from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, on the soundtrack it's the track "Wild Signals"
It is Darude - Sandstorm, Its not played out, because in music, there are two rules. Play out when you are supposed to and Count. Therefore, since Darude Sandstorm has not made an appearance yet, it should be allowed to play out. And yes, it counts.
the tenors were altos...
fair enough
I guess it comes down to a moment-by-moment basis when you want to judge what's funnier, and it all depends on one's personality.
Great sketch! Check out Odd Sqodd sketch comedy for even more craziness!
nope
Does anyone know the song at 2:07??
What is it?
Oui
Madonna-Ray of Light
beethoven's 7th!
An advert on the BBC .. Blasphemy!
7th actually ... -_-
Well that was a waste of time..... You want to see comedy orchestra, do a search and find Danny Kaye conducting the NY Philharmonic.
I don't get it. Didn't someone say it was a parody?
Things a conductor or band director will never say...
He got Alto and Tenor wrong...
no female singer can sing Tenor range :p

malísimooooooooooooo!!! guacala
Cleverly done and perfect timing, yes - just not funny, unfortunately.
Sense of humor required - like the 1700 up-voters have but you and 83 other losers have not.
British comedy is not funnier than American comedy, it is just that the sense of humor is different in the two cultures. The British cannot create comedy like Seinfeld or Cheers and Americans cannot create comedy like Yes Minister or Spitting Image.
drav1dan Seinfeld is NOT funny.
The British just thinks they are funny but they arent i am like wtf.....

sorry but that was poor
