One foot in the grave is a masterclass in comedy. He plays a grumpy old man that gets himself in the worst situations. It's very very very funny.
One Foot in the Grave is an absolutely fantastic show which is very rarely reacted to. It's my absolute favourite.
Yeah even the Cosby show bought some episodes to do on their show
WHAT IN THE NAME OF BLOODY HELL
I watched it all the way through - one of the best understated comedies of it's time.
I don’t believe it.
The tortoise
The hard cut from the AA guy talking, to the ambulance is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.
@thewingkong..... yep, even when you can figure what's coming, it still hits it big.
Incredibly inventive timing.
But then again, 'Father Ted' has so many great cut-aways
😅👍
@@ThewingkongexchangeThe time Ted calls Larry Duff and it cuts to him almost winning the 10k prize for moving the hoop around the long wire had me on the floor 😁
'one foot in the grave' was one of the best sitcoms of its time and is unapolagetically funny. picked up tons of awards over its lifetime. you definitely absolutely must watch it!
Richard Wilson was an amazing sport to take the piss out of himself for this. And the punchline at the end is of course perfect.
Was he a fan of the show?
@@3000KJH Linehan and Matthews were sat behind him at a play and thought how inappropriate it would be to shout I don't believe it! at him, which they immediately knew was a plot for Ted and Dougal. Apparently Wilson leapt at the chance to poke fun at it all.
My dear friend and I used to meet up every week for shopping and tea. We would fight over the bill like Mrs Doyle and Mrs Deneen!! She died four years ago and I still miss her beyond the telling of it. She was only 63. 💔
If anyone’s interested, Mrs Doyle’s first name was Joan according to the official script book.
A father ted reaction? I DONT BELIEVE IT!
Yes sir
That's what he says
One Foot in the Grave, is a brilliant show!
One Foot in the Grave is the PERFECT sitcom. Richard Wilson actually HATES it when people come up to him and say the catchphrase so it was a huge deal for him to agree to play this scene.
The scene with Mrs Doyle and her friend saying "no, I'll pay" became our catchphrase as friends whenever we went out to lunch or dinner. Of course you really wanted to lose, but you also didn't lol.
One foot in the grave is a great comedy series. "What's that you say?" "You don't believe it?" "Well, it really is very funny and you'll get to love that catchphrase!
Just to add, OFITG for isn't just 'a' great comedy series, it's one of the greatest. And not at all just comedy either, great drama and poinyance/pathos as well.
Noteworthy scenes by great actors were the Meldrews lost son in Timeless Time, Nick Swainey's loneliness (the episode escapes me), the death of Margaret's Mum in The Pit and the Pendulum and the death of Albert in Who Will Buy.
When I was 8, my school did a production of Cinderella. I played an ugly sister (yes, in drag as an 8 year old). When Cinderella put the shoe on and it fit, my line was "I don't believe it" which I delivered à la Victor Meldrew from One Foot In the Grave. It brought the house down every single night.
One foot in the Grave....one of the best English comedies ever. "I dont believe it"😂😂 You must watch it.
One Foot in the Grave is one of the best TV comedy series ever, in my opinion.
I've been to those caves they went to in this episode. It's called the Ailwee caves
One Foot in the Grave is must watch show.
It's not as funny as Ted though.
@@blackletter2591 no but it’s more relatable
Graham Norton is fooking brilliant. His singing Queen in this was my mobile ring tone for years.
Graham Linehan was sat behind Richard Wilson at a function and he thought of what the worst possible thing he could do if he met him. What he thought of would to be say the catchphrase. This episode was developed around that idea.
Also, Queen Boomer's reaction to Dougal hallucinating Ted as Abraham Lincoln was fantastic 😂
You must watch One Foot in the Grave, absolutely brilliant. Almost Father Ted level of comedy.
You guys 1000% need to do One foot in the Grave!!!! ❤
One foot in the grave is the sort of show where the humour is mostly from the situation that builds up throughout the episode rather than individual gags so its best appreciated by watching entire episodes if possible
Most series are.
I'm perplexed by this need for some to rank each show as better or worse than the others.
You can't enjoy the later shows without having seen the earlier ones.
Yeah, the ongoing feud Victor has with his neighbor (played by Angus Deayton) is fantastically funny. 🏆
Father Ted is so well made it's become a cultural phenomenon.
'Feck', 'Arse', 'Gerls', 'Drink' and to a lesser extent, 'That would be an ecumenical matter' have become part of the lexicon amongst most Brits and a growing number of people worldwide.
It's brilliant, wholesome and utterly silly, just like us.
It's a common connection with so many people, welcome to the club.
Brits try not to steal everything Irish challenge (impossible)
@@sl_721 We didn't steal everything, just the top bit.
I recommend watching the documentary 'Small, far away' after you have finished this series, it is about the making of father ted and the actors talking about their memories from filming it. Very interesting and heart felt as the actors talk about Dermot Morgan who sadly passed away shortly after filming the final episode 😢
Agreed, it's wonderful
Richard Wilson played a grumpy man called Vitor Melsdrew in One Foot in the Grave. This catchphrase was said to him so much that he would not repeat it during interview or talk shows.
I serve drinks to tables in my local pub in Dublin and I can categorically confirm that some of the customers are like Mrs Doyle and Mrs Dineen fighting over the bill, only they’re not trying to kill each other. 😂😂
If you love grumpy old men then One Foot In The Grave is the pinnacle of that.
Maybe you should watch One Foot in the Grave. It's completely crazy. I've been to Ted's House, and The Very Dark Caves. The caves are a real tourist attraction and I've been twice. They're really called Aillwee caves.
My entire career has involved working in various opticians and the scene with the letters chart is one of my favourite scenes, and I’ve heard weird stories about how people who have lost or broken specs that rival how Father Jack lost his. 😂
My favourite one was where a gentleman came in with his damaged specs which he said that his wife sat on, my boss shot back “were they on your face at the time?”, I swear I nearly died.
If you think this episode was barmy, wait until you see the next one, with Eoin McLove. It's the wackiest of the lot.
My favourite part of all Father Ted was on this episode, the ambulance cut out from Jack and the AA guy in the pub. Never fails to make me laugh
Yes one foot in the grave is a brilliant show the main character Victor Meldrew is a household name over here in Britain and everybody knows a Victor Meldrew
Richard Wilson played Victor Meldrew in popular BBC sitcom One Foot in the Grave. VM's catchphrase is "I Don't Believe It!"
"I don't believe it" was the catchphrase of the main character (Victor Meldrew) in a show called "One Foot in the Grave" One of my favourite shows. The actor (Richard Wilson)who plays him was always having people coming up to him and saying "I don't believe It"
Didn't the writers get him to guest star in this episode by asking him to beat people using the catchphrase rather than use it himself?
One foot in the grave is amazing
This is one of my favourite episodes! So many great lines and scenes! 😅
True story. I used to work in a studios in London, and me and my colleague got into a lift one day, and Richard Wilson was in it. My colleague (not by way of an impression or anything like that) just said normally "I dont believe it" without even realising what he was saying. Richard Wilson said something like "FFS everywhere I go" !! And was honestly a bit peeved by it
It would be great to see you do One Foot In The Grave or Fawlty Towers! Both classics in farce!
One Foot in the Grave is classic British comedy. You have 2 great Fr Ted episodes to go. The reason why Fr Ted didn't air in the States is because, TV stations in America didn't get Irish, Satire comedy. In Ireland, Fr Ted is so woven into societies fabric, if you say 1 line from Fr Ted, instantly the next person you're talking to gets it, and has another Fr Ted quote to reply. It's class.
"One Foot In The Grave". Another great comedy show. 👍
Richard Wilson (One Foot in the Grave) is a great comic actor, very much in the same vein as his compatriot Alastair Sim.
You’d probably love One Foot In The Grave, Victor (main character) is just an old grumpy man but very witty. Right up your street!
The "old man" you saw with the catchphrase was called Victor Meldrew in One Foot In The Grave.
Hilarious comedy, great characters and brilliant writing at the same time.
Quintessential English comedy from the 90s you will find hilarious.
Don't sleep on that show bro!
one foot in the grave is worth watching - exasperated wife with retired husband - very observational of british people and what makes them tick! cleverly put together - the longer the series ran the very subtly funny it became, has to be given time to build but hilarious. My favourite Victor and the ride on lawn mower !!
...or the 2CV in the skip!
My favourite was Victor climbing out of bed, past the streetlight, out of the bedroom, and getting a surprise down at the front door!
All you need to know about One Foot In The Grave is that the lead character Victor Meldrew, played by Richard Wilson who appears in this episode, says “I DONT BEELIEEVE ITT” quite a lot.
For this episode all you really need to know about One Foot in the Grave is that from season 2 the protagonist has the catchphrase “I don’t believe it!” said in an exasperated tone.
It’s a sitcom.
And that he used to have people shout it at him constantly and hated it.
And that Frank Kelly used to constantly have Arse. ..Feck.. Drink... Gurrrrls shouted at him.
Worth adding that it was extremely popular in the 90's, with ratings as high as 18 million in the UK (according to Google; though the official ratings are only available for the last series which peaked at 12 million). So the show was incredibly well known to the British audience.
Less important is that it was remade for America, where it was retitled as Cosby (1996-2000). Though from what little I've seen of 'Cosby' the two shows ended up vastly different.
Killer Queen is still my favourite Queen song. It was a single in the UK in the 1970’s and my mum bought it and played it so much, love it.
I love One Foot In The Grave, it's one of my top 3 Britcoms (alongside Red Dwarf and Inside No. 9) it's incredibly dark comedy
I know Brian has watched a random clip of League of Gentlemen a while back, but that was before he watched Benidorm, I'd love him to watch that, Psychoville or Inside no.9 just to see Steve Pemberton as someone other than Mr Garvey
Basically, One Foot in the Grave is about a guy who has retired and is a miserable old thing that is always complaining about something. Usually things like people dropping trash on his front lawn or poor customer service or something and his response is often ridiculously over the top like if someone drops their candy bar wrappers on his lawn, he will pick them up, go to their house, and put the trash through the mail slot in the front door.
That was a good show One Foot In The Grave people were forever shouting ‘I don’t believe it.’ He talked about how annoying it was Richard Silson he is a feisty actor what a great episode this is thanks King and Queen Boomer❤
One foot in the grave is one of the great British comedies, along with red dwarf, Blackadder & Bottom.
Also queens bohemian rhapsody is the Uks unofficial national anthem. Every child knows it from birth and know it more than the official national anthem lol.
Also I work in retail and we get customers like Mrs Doyle and the other lady all the time.
One of my favourite episodes. You’d have to know the show “one foot in the grave” to really appreciate this episode of father ted
One foot in the grave should be your next series....its very funny!
Like others have said, One Foot in The Grave is a great comedy.
You haven't reacted to One Foot in the Grave? I DON'T BELIEVE IT! You really must. The acting is magnificent. The surreal situations are fabulous. Give it a go.
You might like one foot in the grave the series starts as the protagonist Victor Meldrew retires after a lifetime of hard work and has to start dealing with retirement old age infirmity and increasingly inane conversations with people he can't be bothered with.
9:16 the backstory to the “one foot in the grave” stories is that it’s also a genuine massive hit comedy show in the UK, but the main actor is tortured in real life with people complete strangers coming up to him and repeating his character’s catch phrase to him. It has almost driven the poor man demented.
Not knowing about "One Foot In The Grave" means they didn't really get the most out of this episode.
That was so much fun. Great reaction. One Foot In The Grave is brilliant xx
Was waiting to see kings reaction to Tony flipping out. It's my favourite part of the whole episode
I totally recommend 'One foot in the grave' - I just got a feeling it will suit you both! 😊
Fun fact KB. In One foot in the Grave, Victor and his wife Margaret get new neighbours, Patrick & Pippa. Pippa is played by Janine Duvitski, who played the swinger Jackie in Benidorm. 😀
One Foot in the Grave was probably the biggest sitcom ihere in the 90s… Takes a season to find its feet but well worth the wait. It also has some very dark moments so don’t expect your run of the mill sitcom
Derrick Branche (born 1947) is a British actor, best known for his role in the film My Beautiful Laundrette and television roles in The Jewel in the Crown and Father Ted, the Cuban priest.
Freddie Mercury was his classmate in the school, with whom he formed The Hectics, Mercury's first band, from 1959 to 1962.
Derrick Branche was in Only When I Laugh a British television sitcom made by Yorkshire Television for ITV. It aired between 29 October 1979 and 16 December 1982 and was set in the ward of an NHS hospital. Richard Wilson, "I don't believe it" was Mr. Gordon Thorpe, the consultant surgeon.
Billy Connoly and Kenny Everet did the best old ladys paying for tea sketch ever.
The Caves are a genuine place and called Ailwee Caves and its a 15 minute drive away from Father Ted's parochial house.
Watch One Foot in the Grave after this!! Proper comedy like Father Ted
Dougal having his picture taken with the sign "Gents" pointing right at him is a very underrated joke
One foot in the grave was pretty much a cultural/comedy institution at one point. Basically, great acting, and really funny. Worth a watch in your spare time 👍
One Foot in the Grave is an amazing show. You should definitely watch it.
Season 3 episodes you're missing are: Kicking Bishop Brennan up the Arse, Night of the Nearly Dead and Going to America so you actually have 3 more 💕
p.s Also I met Richard Wilson in 2018 and he was lovely. Highly recommend his show 'One Foot in the Grave'
You gotta try One Foot In The Grave! Classic comedy (although series 1 is a slow burner)
"The caves" are the aillwee caves in County clare , a must see if you go to Ireland.
One thing i always find amusing is that they have this enormous house on the island, yet the 2 of them end up sharing a tiny bedroom
One foot in the grave was very funny. Victor Meldrews appearance on would I lie to you is the funniest thing ever.
One Foot in the Grave is fantastic. Well worth your time.
I saw richard wilson (victor meldrew) years ago on the tube.
He sat right opposite me. I was so tempted to say it 😂
One foot in the grave is class.
Having watched One Foot in the Grave is a prerequisite for this.
The Mainland is just about the best episode.
Once you've finished with Father Ted, you should start reacting to another great British sitcom called One Foot in the Grave, about a grumpy pensioner named Victor Meldrew and his long suffering wife. Victor likes to say "I don't believe it!". Victor is played by Richard Wilson and it's he who Ted and Dougak meet in this episode.
This is by far,my favourite Father Ted episode 👌
12:10 Onward. This is a very middle-aged Irish lady thing to do. My aunt and mum were exactly like this. Arguing over who was paying for the lunch. My mum even tries this with my grown-a*s self. Father Ted, being a very surreal show, takes this to its extreme.
If you can you MUST include One Foot in the Grave. Soooo funny.
I was falling asleep and that intro really woke me up.
so much in this one! "put your purse away" and, of course, The Opticians & Jack 😆😆etc etc
One foot in the Grave 🪦 brilliant
Really glad u guys didn't miss this episode, and ure in for a TREAT with the next one it's hilarious! This is my fav Americans react channel by far! And King Boomer love the Kentucky Colonel look with the beard 😂😁👍
Think they already did the next one in the series as their streaming site got the eps in the wrong order without the Boomers knowing until we pointed it out.
Theres a documentary about father ted made years after called "near but far away" (i think) might be worth a reaction after youve watched them all
Small, far away even
You guys would love One Foot in the Grave. It's dark and very funny.
Thank you guy's great video as always makes my day.
"Mrs Brown's boys"
More an old time(80's/90's) Dublin humour and feel But I can see you loving it.
Are you being served is another classic britcom both your reactions continue to bring me great joy lol
Oh “I don’t believe it” is a one foot in a grave reference 1990 Viktor Meldrew
In the uk certain birds ,do like to steal shiny objects etc. Not usually off of ppl ..
Unless its food related and its a seagull or gull .
I don't believe it is a catch phrase from the British comedy One Foot In The Grave staring Richard Wilson as Victor Meldrew, the joke is that when they meet Meldrew at Ailwee
caves and use the phrase, he becomes incensed, because people always approach him and think it will be funny to say it
I feel like a reaction to an episode of One Foot in the Grave is in order...
Also, if you were to look at that era and style of British comedy, then an episode of Keeping Up Appearances would be great 😂
Went to Ailwee cave with my school back in the mid 80's, all i can remember is something about Bear bones and the fact that they turn off the fuking lights.
One foot in the grave is one of the funniest shows to ever come out of the UK.
Eric Idle from Monty Python sang the theme song for One Foot in the Grave
Another good classic British comedy you should look into is Keeping Up Appearances. Absolutely hilarious.
Lol I'm so with the Queen about two old lady friends paying! I work in a bakery and it happens all the time! They argue as they race to pull their cards/cash out of their bags! I just tell them "whoever finds it first pays" 🤣 It always reminds me of this episode with Mrs Doyle and her friends!
