Rowan Atkinson has always been a master at playing the roles of older characters. 1:50 His bony oblong face! 😂 (and Griff is a very talented actor. Bravo!)
Love this sketch, every time I mispronounce words (on purpose) for my grand-children. "Skizzors" for Scissors and "Saw sages" for Sausages etc. When my "Girls" have a spelling test they do brilliantly!
I worked teaching Spanish and English languages. Playing with words is an excellent help for students and it even develops their sense of humour. Bit by bit, of course.
I knew he pronounced Alibi wrong but couldn't remember the correct way myself. No wonder. I was schooled in french before english and i think i may have said it his way often

When I was a kid, I got mad when I discovered there is no "q" in "choir" (well not in that one, "quire" is a measure of writing paper). and for a while I thought "doughty" was pronounced more or less the same as "dough".

Probably newly relevant for those who learn a lot on the Internet. You know a word and exactly what it means, but you have no clue how to actually pronounce it, since you've only read it, never heard it spoken.
@Scientor Indeed - that's what I implied by 'would be'. If he was speaking Latin it might sound better than people's usual rendering. Anyway, this pales into insignificant besides Pam S's awesomeness.
Seems so slow compared to 2022 comedy. The style today is to move on to something else the moment (or even just before) the audience gets what’s going on. Back then they kept bobbing into the same barrel to bring out more apples, some good, some bad.
“GWILT! GWA-HILT!” instead of “Guilt! Guilt!” slays me every time 😂😂😂
Maybe it's Griff taking the piss out of Welsh in an English court or out of both
"Aha, even my learned in counsel for the defense admits it!"
My favourite bit is when Mel shouts off camera "what are you talking about!"
RIP Mel
A funny lovely man.
I love it how when Griff almost laughs at 1:35.
They always leave that in the sketch. Brilliant!
"Perhaps you'd like to join me for lunch!"
My Lord, are we going to let phonetic discrepancies deter us from the FACTS?
Love Griff-Rhys-Jones.
A very strong comeback! Remember to use it whenever you get cornered during an argument.
The ensemble play is amazing. Especially Smith's facial expressions
"a cross between a human vegetable and Ronny Barker"
great side gag ........
zakelwe ,
Griff Rhys-Jones at his hilarious best.
I just love Atkinson's facial expression.
A tissue, a tissue... Bless you My Lord.
apenisa yabaki LOL I didn't get that at first, thanks!!!

Interesting! I think I'll try that! 😁
A tissue a tissue. Bless you me lord 😂
This is such a great sketch, one of my favourites, even though it has a lame ending.
:P, he is speaking in my accent! I have understood all the words!!
Absolutely legendary!
This kind of reminds me of when my sister kept referring to Copernicus as "Copper-Knickers"
My grandmother called a hysterectomy a hysterical-rectum.
So did Michael Flanders of Flanders and Swann in his bit on him.
I'm so glad I'm a native English speaker. I'd have hated to have learnt it from scratch!
I believe this chap is going to be Donald Trump's next nomination for a position as federal judge in the District of Columbia.

Hah! I can't help wondering how that worked out for you
"The question is crucial"
"But we don't understand the question..."
😂😂

Glad they referenced ronnie Barker....obvious influences
“WHAT is the uh-lee-bee?” 🤣🤣
My favorite part is always that the books Griff mentions are all "teach yourself law" books.
questions
alibi
guilt
alias
nefarious
allege
spouse
fatale
public
nuisance
testimony
tissue
fury
scorned
I love the layout of the courtroom
0:40 1:43 3:11 3:23 and 3:34 LOL Rowan's reaction at 0:40 is priceless.
Pam looks good enough to eat here😃
Rowan is brilliant as always
the judge used his time to work as a interpreter lololo
Old is Gold.
all egged....classic..lol
"I would like to ask you few... qvestions.."
I love how, during the speech at the end, Rowan Atkinson gradually sounds more and more Beanlike.
there's a good chance he's pronouncing the names in proper latin
From the very start he calls the judge "my lahd"
C'est le genre de reactions qu'ont mes interlocuteurs quand j'essaye de parler englais
au contraire ! Mes propres experiences me disent que ton anglais typique montrent appreciation pour un ame que volontierment párle anglais y qu' ils sont toujour prets de t'aider , comprendre , y faire des nouveaux amities en plus !
Another Not the nine o'clock news favourite
These people exist and they know what they’re doing. Annoying the bloody hell out of the rest of us.
The barrister must be convicted before the lady for being such a confident murderer (of English language)
Ah, the British Legal System....the finest and most impartial in the World...so long as you're not Black, Irish, Gay, Female, etc.,....😮😢😂
Ah when comedy was great and we could laugh at ourselves 😂 them where the day’s 😢
three people didn't have an aleebee :) x
Therefore they are GWILTY!! GWILT!!!
AliArse 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Unbeatable TV/film barrister shtick from GRJ - glasses on / glasses off / glasses back on again.
I had trouble with 'epitome' when I was young. I saw it written before I heard it pronounced, and thought it was 'ep-i-twam'.
Same. With hyperbole too.
For me it was misled, which I assumed rhymed with fizzled. Can work the other way round too - I remember thinking there was a word (spelt) kayos.
When I was a kid, I got mad when I discovered there is no "q" in "choir" (well not in that one, "quire" is a measure of writing paper).
and for a while I thought "doughty" was pronounced more or less the same as "dough".
I don't know, he'd probably still have been a better Director of the CPS than Keir Starmer.
Eight people have gone under an alley-ass
to behave like a cross between a human vegetable and ronnie barker.
:epic:
Halfway through, I'm thinking The two Ronnies, then he mentions Ronnie Barker!
Was this sketch written by Gerald Wiley?
ALEEBEE, GWILTY, GWILT, ALLEY-ASS, PUBE-LICK NOOEY-SANCE, SPOSE, FATTAL, NEFFA-RY-ASS, TISS-WAY, ALL-EGGED, FURRY
funny thing is that some of these odd pronunciations may have correct, at least in the thirteenth century ...
Hell hath no furry
Griff was funny in the court.
Griff sounded like Robert hardy at the start of sketch
"Milard"
Ha!

World is really small cuz dew days back I heard that hell quote in squid games
Next thing, he'd be like; "Anybody care for some cham-paggun?"
half of my understanding, could some one explain me what the hell are they talking about?
Crabtree's father ;)

0:30 Actually, that's exactly how alibi is pronounced in Hebrew.
And in Polish
Seriously what is alley arse?
Alias

"learned counsel" - sorry can't stop being a lawyer - apologies for being a grammar/ spelling fascist...

Good to see them keeping up the old comedy tradition of filling all female roles with page 3 models :)
Are you referring to Dr Connolly?
@@robertengland8285 Indeed. Billy Connelly's wife. PHD. Bit more than a "page 3 model"

I really liked NTNON but this is crap.
