Any simple dark face make up will look like blackface, the difference is the notable white eyes and mouth. Marilyn Manson did it too, he claims Gottfried Helnwein started it in the 70s (I believe he designed the look for Manson). It's white eyes on black again, but his version also had Deadmaus (mickey mouse) ears
I saw them live in Brighton, they were absolutely brilliant. They shut down the hecklers with comic effect.. and changed character with lightening speed. Papa Lazarou is my favourite character and I'm black.
And to think League of Gentlemen had now been removed from Netflix on the basis Papa Lazarou is racist. What a complete an utter mess our society is in
If you have to explain that someone in obvious minstrel facepaint is not racist because he is referencing an obscure folk character then perhaps the joke is long lost to all but those who are trying to explain away an obvious reference to outsiders.
League of Gentlemen was and still is absolutely awesome stuff. I grew up not so far from the location that they filmed it in and this was something of a 'claim to fame', through absolutely no achievement of my own, when I went to uni. A farcical, magnificent, comedic opera that was totally unique.
He'll shit on you then set you on fire! actually started crying with laughter! love the way Reece walks but I cannot help but think MYCROFT! every time I see mark even though I watched The League of Gentlemen way before Sherlock!
I was a teen when 'League of Gentlemen' was on the tv back in the day. I couldn't wrap my head around it so wrote it off as drivel. I stumbled across the series again 20 years later and was immediately hooked by its brilliance.
I remember watching one of the pilot episodes being filmed in a tv studio in Wembley around 97. They did a Tubbs & Edward shop scene complete with sellotape on the noses. I knew back then it was so different & brilliant.
@Lush Can't wait til they start shaming women for wearing fake tan. Hopefully then there will be an acceptable backlash. Lord knows as a white male, my opinion is just wrong.....hahaha
@@AB-st8to Its been a week. You're on your own, son. You do realise "minority" doesnt mean special, don't you? It actually means, in all practical terms, massively outnumbered. Best of luck.
@@AB-st8to Do you know the demographic breakdown of the U.K? 85% white, 15% BAME. Check it, if you like. And your opinion only matters if I care, and I don't. Again, best of luck.
Genius and nice twist at the end with Tubbs. Papa Lazarou has a touch of the Grand Guignol about him if you remember the end of the Christmas episode. Great creation. “This is just a saga now”
This was pretty funny, but I kind of wish they'd come up with new material instead of pretty much just using an existing sketch. Still great, though, and the addition of Tubbs at the end kills me every time!
Fuck me, both "He'll shit on you and set you on fire" and "Bird's Eye potato waffles, waffley versatile" should have been in the original sketch I absolutely pissed myself!
i love the league of gentlemen but i honestly think that a good few people here had no idea what was going on!!! LOVE IT!!!! birds eye potatoe waffles!! their waffly versitile!!!! ha ha ha
Miranda Richardson. Yes, but she has done allot more since. like 40 films, including Empire of the Son, two Harry Potter movies, Sleepy Hollow, Get Carter, Phantom of the Oprah, the Crying game, but to name a few.
By the looks of the whole video, it looks filmed quite a while ago. I think 2000's fashion is terrible, but early 2000's British fashion is particularly bad.
I love Shearsmith and Pemberton's writing. One thing that puzzles me. The woke whiners are constantly berating 'Little Britain' about EVERY black or Asian character they ever had, yet nobody bleats about this.
Papa Lazarou is one of the greatest comic creations of all time. Genuinely creepy as well. The standout from League.
now sadly racist because the WOKE mob say so...
@@katy.2596 fuck them
Your my wife now Dave
Anyone unfamiliar with League of Gentlemen must have been so confused by that!

OMG I KNOW THIS IS COMPLETELY UNRELATED BUT I DIDN'T KNOW SOMEONE ELSE WATCHED LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN IN 2017
omg that’s so true 😂😂
Well i clicked cause I thought it had to do with my fave comedy league of gentlemen but then what?????
Manly Stump haha their fuckin heads would have fallen off
I saw them live in Brighton, they were absolutely brilliant. They shut down the hecklers with comic effect.. and changed character with lightening speed. Papa Lazarou is my favourite character and I'm black.
Gatiss running across the stage while saying gibberish is gold.
dweedwee Hands down the best part of this bit.
It really, really is.
HELP GATISS JUST RUNNING ACROSS THE STAGE MUMBLING NONSENSE IS KILLING ME
And to think League of Gentlemen had now been removed from Netflix on the basis Papa Lazarou is racist. What a complete an utter mess our society is in
@Alice Rabbit Shut up!!!
@Alice RabbitBot

@@jimdonaldson9914 nonsense, nobody has to explain a thing, all people need to do is watch the program and it's obvious.
@@Mandrax2011 so you have just had to explain what somebody has to do in order to determine if it is blackface or not. Fair enough.
Miranda Richardson played the straight role very well there; the deliberately awkward, out of place presenting at the start. Very good.
lol, when tubbs comes on, papa lazarou says "..wa the fuck is that?" hahahaha
"not Dave"

Papa Lazarou and Queenie!!!! What a wonderful combination!
"Oh, Dave;... Humpty Dumpty sat on wall... Humpty Dumpty had great fall ...Birds eye-potato-waa-ffleees... waffle-y versatile." :)
Thank you! Had a problem with understanding words, which came after "great fall" :D
Peanuts!!😆
I didn't even hear that lmao
Tubbs can't marry Miranda she's not LOCAL!!!
About 50 miles between Glossop and Southport, I think.
What is all this shouting? We'll have no trouble here!
@@josemaria8177 I was in a war! Don't touch the precious things of the shop! You'll dirty them with your Unlocal hands!😄
She will be made shiny and new. More local than any that came before.
He'll shit on you then set you on fire!
actually started crying with laughter! love the way Reece walks but I cannot help but think MYCROFT! every time I see mark even though I watched The League of Gentlemen way before Sherlock!
Lisbeth Basnett Omg yes me tooo
That audience was drrrryyyyyy

"Sold, to the lady dressed like a spider...." ! 😁
Wow, Tubbs saying " She's my wife now!! "
What an odd turn of events. XD
Local the turn tables turn..
@@tillyhossain1049like the wheels on a locolmotive
I’ve just been watching TLoG for the first time ever in 2018 and oh my god it’s hilarious
I remember watching one of the pilot episodes being filmed in a tv studio in Wembley around 97.
They did a Tubbs & Edward shop scene complete with sellotape on the noses.
I knew back then it was so different & brilliant.
"birds eye potato waffles.... there waffly versatile"
lmao brilliant
I've just spent the last 10 minutes rolling around the floor laughing at "he'll shit on you and set you on fire"
Papa whispering is the most sinister and crushing.
He would make a good mayor of that London.
THERE IS A SWANSEA
That London
He is isn't he ? .
Sadiq for second term
Won't be long until this is erased from history so enjoy it while you can
Hasn't happened yet.
@@philbecker4676 yeah mainly because Twitter is too busy looking at Dream and shit
Europe?
Oh dry up Dursley you great prune
This is COMEDY GOLD! The twist at the ending made me laugh TEARS!
haha... and... twelfty pounds LOL
'I couldn't see you in the dark' - that was pretty strong even then
To anyone pathetic, maybe.
Making the most of this before the race card makes yet another appearance...
That twist ending was completely genius though. Literally no one would have guessed it and considering the inherent absurdity of the series it works
Enjoy it while you can folks, the PC warriors are a comin' !!!
Colm Jolly You’re right. We are coming. And all you can do is run and hide and bitch about it. You’re letting us win. Too easy.

Poor reece is wearing heels so he is bearly taller than Miranda
Oh how I loved Papa Lazarou and Tubbs. I wish they would come back one day! :-D
I wish I had an Edward and Tubbs in my town keeping it local.
Could the audience be anymore dead?? Wow.
DJ Record Player Player. The crowd were laughing.
I don't think they knew who he was
This was pretty funny, but I kind of wish they'd come up with new material instead of pretty much just using an existing sketch. Still great, though, and the addition of Tubbs at the end kills me every time!
Lol i'd have loved to seen Queenie meeting papa..
😂😂😂 papa lazarou is just comic genius
The only people they dislike this are people that never saw the show
So fekking funny! Papa Lazarou gets punked by Tubbs. LOLOLOLLOL
Absolutely amazingly funny show!loved it and there's no racism... people need to stop drawing attention to racism!
I was so happy when Tubbs came out.
Tubbs: twevlty pounds!
The audience: fucking hell its our saviour Jesus Christ
Miranda Richard was phenomenal in 'Dance With a Stranger'.
What a performance
Miranda Richardson was good an all.
5:50 "Bird's Eye Potato Waffles, they're waffly versatile"
I find papa strangely attractive
Hello Dave
Right, is DAVE THERE?!
YOURE MY WIFE NOW
It's the way he carries himself 😂😂😂
I feel the same and its really weird... haha
How have I missed this?? brilliant. Love league of gentleman. your my wife now !!!
Fuck me, both "He'll shit on you and set you on fire" and "Bird's Eye potato waffles, waffley versatile" should have been in the original sketch I absolutely pissed myself!
That was awesome! Creepy as hell, but awesome.
Ikr
This is demented. I can't explain why I find it hilarious.
coreycox2345 welcome to the League of Gentleman
league of gentleman best comedy EVER. legends
Just seen this on my way home from college on the bus and I’m genuinely trying not to laugh my ass off 🤣 always loved league of gentlemen
hahahaha i love the way he walks
"THE FUCK IS THAT!?"
Huh, so Tubbs is enough to make Papa Lazarou unsettled... Have they ever crossed paths in the show?
Will anyone be here in 2021?
"YOUR MMAAA WIFE NNOOOWWWWWWWW">
Hello tubbs whats all this noise we'll have no bidding here!
Tubbs always reminds me of Ronnie Corbett
There is no way they would be allow Papa Lazarou these days !
i love the league of gentlemen but i honestly think that a good few people here had no idea what was going on!!! LOVE IT!!!! birds eye potatoe waffles!! their waffly versitile!!!! ha ha ha
Tsunami appeal?
Izzat you Dave?

Ahhh, Dave! You're MY wave noww!
the league fo gentlemen is the best comedy in the WORLD! that was awesome thanks!
I keep watching this! Best version of the sketch, methinx!
I love these guys, context or not! They are hilarious, and anyone that doesn't think so is braindead!
_"What's all this...? We'll have no snowflakes here...!"_ ☻
I had a lot of things i didn’t expect to see today, Mark Gatiss running across the stage uttering gibberish…wasn’t one of them.
I'm getting a lot of recommended videos for papa lazarou today
Creepiest comedy character EVER
"He'll shit on you and set you on fire" :L
"He'll shit on you and set you on fire!" 🤣😂
"Shake n Vac' xD Gotta love the league of gentlemen 10/10.
Just a re-working of The Fast Show's Channel 9
I know it’s been 15+ years but WHAT IS SHE WEARING?!!
love this miranda is the best and them men are so hilarious.
Miranda Richardson. Yes, but she has done allot more since. like 40 films, including Empire of the Son, two Harry Potter movies, Sleepy Hollow, Get Carter, Phantom of the Oprah, the Crying game, but to name a few.
shes amazing in spider
Phantom of the Ophra. Brilliant.
Hehe I love League of Gentlemen but I've never seen this before. Reece is a legend! x x x
Terms and conditions applaaaaaah!
This audience was soooo dry
loved the twist ending
Ironically, Miranda appears to be doing her best Oli Plimsoles
How long before this video is taken down?
i died a little watching this the crowd need to laugh
The audience doesn't do them justice!
lol! walls potato waffles...waffly versatile!
Like this sketch,its passive aggression/intimidation taken to the extreme.
Who dressed Miranda Richardson for this? Jesus!
thought I was the only one that noticed the poor dresscode
I think Tubbs looked better
By the looks of the whole video, it looks filmed quite a while ago. I think 2000's fashion is terrible, but early 2000's British fashion is particularly bad.
Still would though
Nelly Chaz 🤣
I love Shearsmith and Pemberton's writing. One thing that puzzles me. The woke whiners are constantly berating 'Little Britain' about EVERY black or Asian character they ever had, yet nobody bleats about this.
Probably because Papa Lazarou isn't supposed to be a black man.
@@rnw2739 you think the whiners will know that? I don't, they see a black face character, they bleat
@diamonddog4708 True I dunno why I wasted my time trying to explain - it doesn't stop them going into one.
If anyone is offended by this, tough shit.
Nobody really is. They just think they should be without really thinking too much about it.
Fun police would end this in seconds these days,,,
The daily mail?
Bloody awesome!
Man if you die in front of a British audience that must be akin to a level of hell Dante dared not mention...
Amazing, so amazing!
this crowd was so dead
@3:37 the funniest part by far XD
helllooooo daaave..i have the best ringtone for this...helllooo daaave ya fooones gooooiin....your my wIIfe nooow
Diane Abbott at the end lol.
Happy to see black face is back
haha "humpty dumpty sat on wall.......humpty dumpty had great fall.............birds eye potato waffles!" XD fukin genious
Pappa Lazarou scares the bejeezus outta me.
You said it man!
It's 2020 and it's the Left who are saying to all of Britain: "Your my wife noooww"
fantastic !
