It's remarkable how many people in the comments misunderstood your "BBC" comment and thought that you didn't know what the BBC was...
The best British comedy: Fawlty Towers
4:04 He thought the BBC was a sketch programme, but it's a broadcasting company.
Hahaha.
I think he meant Big Black...Something or other
'I guess the BBC is a sketch comedy show that comes on in the UK'. He may have misspoken, but it is what the guy said.
I'm glad you liked it, but I noticed how your lady embarrassed you with a wild & dangerous opinion of her own! 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
You have to nip that in the bud
😂
😂😂😂Yes I also noticed this.. M. Woman know your place.. 😂😂😂😂
She will need to look, listen and take heed 😂
'The woman has attempted to join the conversation with a wild and dangerous opinion of her own!!' 😂😂😂
That's funny for sure....but big black cocks...is that funny? No sir! No!
And she's the only one to say anything intelligent!
@@leenorman853 Id have to disagree Maam!
British satire is THE BEST comedy the world has EVER heard! The simple reason being,,,WE KNOW HOW TO TAKE THE PISS out of ourselves 😭👋🍺!!!
It’s the accuracy of the language and accents of pre war movies that is amazing.
It's astonishingly well done.
It's refreshing to see Americans who understand and appreciate sarcasm. 👍
That's another myth that's bandied around. American's definitely love sarcasm. American sarcasm can be so dry (drier the better IMHO). Look at comedians like Louse C Clark where the whole standup can be one long sarcastic joke. And George Carlin also loved sarcasm. It's often more telegraphed, but not always. Even Bill Burr slips in the odd sarcastic joke now and then, e.g. "Why lie in on a Sunday when we can pay $50 for eggs. Now you're thinking!"
This wasn't sarcasm, of course...
It's refreshing to you Americans appreciate and understand sarcasm?
Have you heard of The Simpsons, Seinfeld, David Letterman, or South Park, you dummy?
I think that stereotype is now out of date. In the 90's i went to NYC and stayed with a bunch of locals. I unintentionally insulted nearly everyone with dry sarcasm.I think that wouldnt be an issue with those same people now. i could be talking crap though.@@aaronmicalowe
@@aaronmicaloweHe didn't say you don't live it. He inferred that most Yanks don't understand it. & He's right. I see comments every day where Yanks understand neither sarcasm or irony on CZcams.

I cannot tell you how exhausting it is watching my wife clean the house, wash the car, do the cooking and washing my clothes. However I did manage to show my appreciation by buying her a new potato peeler. Got to keep them sweet and appreciated

You're a GOOD Man... She's lucky to have you!
@@Oi.... That's what I kept telling her during the divorce proceedings. No gratitude whatsoever.
If u was my husband I'd use the peeler on ur nuts not spuds lmao

I grew up with harry Enfield and paul whitehouse on my tv, both legends
We had one of those indoor aerials on ours. 😉
British Comedy - a vast and varied rabbit hole to go down.
Harry Enfield (the angry husband/narrator) first came to fame in the 1980s doing a couple of stand-up characters - a kebab shop owner called Stavros and Loadsamoney, a plasterer who boasted about how much money he had. The routines were co-written by Paul Whitehouse who was the other speaking party guest in the first sketch. The BBC then commissioned a sketch series called Harry Enfield's Television Programme which is where these clips come from. After two series it was renamed Harry Enfield and Chums to recognise the contributions of Whitehouse and Kathy Burke who both played various characters alongside Enfield. Paul Whitehouse went on to do The Fast Show (also for the BBC) and Enfield and Burke made a film, Kevin and Perry Go Large, based on characters they'd played in the show. In 2000 Enfield made Harry Enfield's Brand Spanking New Show for Sky. This featured all-new characters and Paul Whitehouse and Kathy Burke did not appear. In 2007, Enfield and Whitehouse reunited for four series of Ruddy Hell! It's Harry and Paul (later just Harry and Paul) for the BBC. There's loads of other stuff but this comment is long enough as it is!
Don't forget 'Tim Tim Nice-But-Dim!
The significance of LoadsaMoney to Harry Enfield was that in spite of it being a clear caricature, it was widely adopted by the city traders of London that he was satirising. Almost overnight, the traders abandoned their Amex Black cards in favour of wads of £50 notes. They would acknowledge each other over their pints of Dom Perignon or Crystal by waving the wads and bawling out "Loadsamoney" at the same time. Harry was appalled when he discovered it. This sketch was clearly driven in part by that, it is so absurd, that nobody could take it seriously... he hoped!
also fun fact, they were plastering someone from the BBC's house and they were so funny working they got a job in comedy.
"Hello everybody peeps, issa Stavros innit" 😂
That's more a bedtime read than a comment but you would be invited round my house anytime of the week. As long as it wasn't a Thursday when I'm washing my hair yours F Doberman.
This is done in the style of the UKs PSAs (public service announcements) from the 1950s
More the 1930s.
@@ullscarf Wrong clothes for the '30s. More the '40s.
It's even funnier when it's shared on social media
The BBC is the British Broadcast Corporation - the national TV and Radio network of the UK lool. This is from Harry Enfield
The BBC now are fkin filled with pdos
It's also the Russian air force and something else too!
Thanks. Loved that. one not to miss is 'Yes Minister' as it probably reflects civil servants everywhere.
Most Americans who think that British comedy isn’t funny just haven’t watched must British comedy beyond “are you being served”.
Most Harry Enfield skits are comedy gold.
I was laughing at your reactions. Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse(Gent on the right)are comedic geniuses and British Legends. This show and The Fast Show would be what I stayed up to watch as a young teenager in the 90's. They formed one of the best duo's to date. I could list a hundred sketches from either show that would tickle you but I hope you have time to delve into more of the comedy they produced. I hope you see that British comedy is quite different and we will take the mickey out of ourselves and our history just as much as we will anybody else.
Amsterdam Police are some of their best acts together. I am now 41 and this genre of comedy will always have a place in my heart. I hope you enjoy more!
The BBC ( British Broadcasting Corporation) is the oldest and largest (by employees) television company in the world. And are responsible for a lot of the greatest comedy, drama, and wildlife programmes enjoyed around the globe.
And "NOW" well past its used by date!
What you're looking for is: Harry Enfield's Television Program and Harry Enfield & Chums.
They do all sorts of characters, and it's all hilarious.
I grew up watching British comedy and I think it's great! Monty Python, Benny Hill and Dave Allen at Large, were all hilarious! Rowan Atkinson is also amazing!
Dave Allen was Irish ! If you ever visit Ireland don't make the mistake of referring to him as having been British ! I'm a Brit who saw him in London some 30 or so years ago. You think he was funny ? You have no idea how hilarious he was live. One of the Americans sitting next to me had to be helped as she'd been laughing so hard she nearly choked on her icecream !
British Isles comedy 👍🏻
Now you need to watch these shows. 1. The inbetweebers 2. Peep show 3. The it crowd..... Stand ups you need to watch. 1. Jimmy Carr, 2.Kevin bridges, 3. Frankie Boyle. But n no particular order and just a sample of some of tge best. Frankie and KEV.I.N are Scottish so might be a bit hard to understand but well worth the effort
WHAT WONDERFUL TASTE YOU HAVE
Benny Hill? Er, no
As an Englishman who grew up watching the golden era of British comedy in the 70's, 80's and early 90's I have such a deep appreciation for how open it was, how subtle it was, and most importantly how unabashed it was.
Classic comedy is the only TV I watch. We British have such a unique delivery and nuance in our classic comedy.
Glad to see some American cousins taking time to engage with what we consider one of our greatest assets.
I may be mistaken, but the lady who played the woman trying to drive the car was Helen Mirren.
In sickness and health Alf Garnet was my Hero as a kid
You are indeed mistaken :-)
The woman driving the car is Carla Mendonça. She was in quite a few of the other quality British comedies, including the Young Ones, Alas Smith & Jones, French & Saunders, Bottom...
Correct---go to the top of the class. @@SpeckleKen
Definitely not Helen Mirren
Harry Enfield had numerous comedy sketch shows brilliantly backed up by Paul Whitehouse and others, check out the “ Slobs” for example.
Unfortunately the ultra woke BBC of today no longer allows proper comedy on its channel, everything has to be politically correct and therefore not funny.The days of “ Only Fools and Horses” ( The absolute best) are long gone, I don’t watch any of it.
That was such an awesome reaction!
Mickey Flanagan is also BRILLIANT:
Mickey Flanagan - To Catch A Peeper
Mickey Flanagan - The Sh*ts Abroad
Mickey Flanagan - Useless Men & Drunk Women
Mickey Flanagan - The French Are Really Lazy
Mickey Flanagan - The Demise of F*ngering
Mickey Flanagan - Can I Come In Your House?
Mickey Flanagan - Out Out
Etc..
Anyway: (Intellectual, yet silly humor). They are THE KINGS!
Monty Python - Dead Parrot sketch
Monty Python - Argument Clinic
Monty Python - Silly Job Interview
Monty Python - The Fish Slapping Dance
Monty Python - Ministry of Silly Walks
Etc...
My favorite "Black Adder" season- Season II: (Full episodes)
- Bells
- Head
- Potato
- Money
- Beer
- Chains
Etc...
This is from the Harry Enfield Show and he is taking the rip out of the 1940's, 1950's Pathe infomercials. It is hysterical to watch these and they are not far from the actual original programs. Class and good reaction guys, I would have been slapped, at least 5 times by the wife for laughing at how the brains differ ... don't teach that in school nowadays 😄. Be safe
Harry Enfield , American tourists , and offensive chemist
This is from Harry Enfield & Friends show back in the 90s. I remember as a teenager when the first clip was shown and was rolling laughing. British humour at its best is very sarcastic & self-deprecating.
You seem like a lovely couple, very likable. And most importantly intelligent, that's how I know you'll love British comedy once you branch out. You've missed out on a whole heap, our sitcoms are the best
These are takes on the old Info-mercials that were shown in UK cinemas in the 40s and 50s.
Parody
Classic that one, we love harry and paul 👏💪😆👍
It's on Harry Enfield and Chums. Harry Enfield has done a few sketch shows and is a national treasure. The BBC is channel number one in the UK and has been running for over 100 years
Harry Enfield had his own sketch show - "Harry Enfield & Chums" brilliant comedian, one of my favourites
It starts with Spike Milligan .. it's in the language. It is English after all. American 'off-beat' humour is generally represented in animation. British humour is stand up / sketch theatre.
I'll happily follow and see where your journey takes you. Have fun in your travels into British humour over the years. I think the more you dive in, the more context you have to enjoy it more.
Please please please try ‘Father Ted’, an Irish comedy series about three priests living in a parish house on an island off the coast, who were basically banished to this remote place because of their bad behaviour. It is hilarious and they have an equally bizarre housekeeper. A well loved series
How many episodes does it take to get good? Because I watched the first one and was bored to tears. My favorite English comedies are more in the tune of Red Dwarf, Black Books, and Black Adder to a slightly lesser extent.
@@Christobanistan I like your choices too, but given how Father Ted discretely outed the Catholic Church in Ireland I wondered if that would be appreciated
@@margaretgreenwood4243 It would!

@@kooler8586 😜👍
Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse are genius writers and actors..
British comedies main ingredient is probably irony but it contains a heady mix of all the usual comedy staples and can be anything from highbrow to farce. The best skits often combine few elements together to create a n unpredictable taste test challenge in humour. You either love it or just don't get it.
Harry Enfield (shown here) has a lot of great skits and another two in the same vein as these is "Women, keep your virtue" and "the Conjugal rights guide"," both hilarious.
Loved the BBC reference, including the fact that it went over her head (not literally, of course) !
Checkout -Dave Allan-les Dawson-blackadder goes forth-Harry Enfield-two ronnies-smith and jones,so many brilliant skits
You should try Catherine Tate, too. Plus Harry did a bunch of these parodies of 1950s Public education films
Love the foreign translator sketch 😂
"I guess the BBC is a sketch comedy programme?" OMG! That was funnier than the sketches!
"Venomous Haradrims"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That killed me.
🇬🇧👍
erm...ex-BBC cameraman here: the BBC is the world's FIRST Broadcasting service, launched in 1927. The British Broadcasting Corporation. Some of the finest TV programmes EVER MADE, have been made by the BBC.
and don't forget the pedophiles!!!!!! :)
It used to be good, now it's the Biased Broadcasting Corporation
@muz4050 It's always had a liberal bias, at least in the 40 years I've been aware of such things. You notice it more as you get older: if you get wiser, that is.
if that were true...Laura Kuntzberg would be nowhere near a BBC TV studio, and yet, here she is Head of Politics. A pure Tory Shill for decades. The Chairman of the BBC...appointed after lending Boris Johnson what was it, $800,000...? Doesn't sound exactly Left-Wing liberal to me mate...! Do you know how many of the executives and senior editors went to Private Schools....@@ullscarf
The Harry Enfield Show was legendary. So funny.
The drawing of that ladies mind exoloding with education was hilarious. 😂
See - American Tourists Go For Breakfast | HARRY ENFIELD
i wish comedy was still allowed to make these kind of sketches without getting cancelled . thanks for that woman !!
literally nobody is trying to cancel comedy like this though?
You should see some Father Ted. It's an Irish sitcom. Check-out the clip 'I hear you're racist now.'
I love the way you understand the sarcasm and that this is just a sketch. Some people freak out with wokeness and they dont get it. This was created in the 90s and based on life in the 30s/40s.
The dinner party sketch is an absolute classic, One of a series of "women: know your limits" sketches from Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse. I'm so glad you took it in the spirit of parody that was intended. Something today's woke censorious world would no doubt condemn. If you have teenage kids, it's worth checking out the "Kevin's Birthday" sketch from Harry Enfield - another classic to which anyone who has had teenage kids can relate.
Yes, and they are always set in the pre--war era, with middle to Upper class snobbish values and opinions.
“What BBC are you thinking about?”
“Oh, never mind then…” 😂
That’s funnier than any comedy sketch lol. Genius!!!
Brilliant and funny, as it was intended to be, should be played at the next women's right s conference to get them warmed up
React to Dave Allen Telling the Time . A Irish comedian great at telling every day stories with humour
Dave Allen wasn't a comedienne! He was 100% male!
@@jillhobson6128 spell chequer let me down
@@deggsymarley Checker!? 🤣🤣
I suffer from pisspronunciation and my spilling is appealing.
As we all know, First hand is the hour hand, Second hand is the minute hand, Third hand is the second hand.
The BBC is the "British Broadcasting Corporation", not a comedy show. It is the first, the oldest and the largest national broadcaster in the world.
Harry Enfiels - American Tourists - ona bus , breakfast , peek a boo . Very funny especially the breakfast skit.
Before Monty Python John Cleese was in "I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again" on the radio. This was equally zany and well worth a listen. This was preceded in the 1950s by "The Goon Show" with Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and Harry Seacombe. This is a must listen if you want to hear the origins of British zany humour. Both are on CZcams. Both are extremely funny.
And Michael Bentine.
@@elemar5 THANK YOU! Your reminder has led me to find his programmes on CZcams.
Well, my grandmother got on a motorbike and rode it semi-successfully in 1926 when she was 44, and in 1939 she bought an Austin 10 and, after a brief tuition, set off on a solo drive from Suffolk to Cornwall. A very nice little trip of nearly 400 miles with no incident whatsoever. Also a nice little detour to Stonehenge, which she had always wanted to visit. Even my Uncle, a mechanic and a former racer at Woodlands said that she was quite a competent little - at five-foot-nothing - driver. She also kept the family together during the thirties and forties and ran her own business from 1930 to 1963 when she sadly passed on when I was far too young to know her better. Wretched cancer.
She sounds wonderful.
@@elainepitkin3561 To those in the family that fully realized what she did, considering that she started off as a scullery maid in the last decade of the 19th Century, she was incredible and an icon of our 20th Century family. Her name was Adelaide.
And South Australia's capital was named after her.@@josefschiltz2192
Ouch dude, the lady dissed you big there bud ... "what B.B.C. you thinking ??" DAAAAMMNN 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
??????????????????
@@johnpoile1451 Big Black Cock, its a thing 😏
There's several of these, Enfield was a great irony comedian, his "Loads of money..." catchphrase from one if his characters ran for years...
Never liked loadsamoney, Stavros, on the other hand...
"Harry Enfield and chums" (circa 1998), if my memory serves me correctly...
His main friend, Paul Whitehouse (who was featured there), went on to do "The Fast Show"
Harry Enfield and chums was amazing you should watch more
Wow this is british comedy from back in the eighties and these guys loved it.
As a brit i shall have you know we have the finest comedy in the world.
Check out Jimmy Carr
Monty Python are the kings of British comedy. Check out "self defense against fruit" and "the funniest joke in the world".
No they're not.
And the Cheese Shop Sketch
Warch only fool and horses ,best comedy in history , absolute class
This is areally funny clip,I hope you 2 can do more reactions on Harry Enfield...he has some good material out there!
Try 'The Fast Show', that was hilarious.
You must checkout the "Little Britain - Mr Doggy , etc or Bitty
Harry Enfield and Chums was a great show and these vintage style sketches were my faves.
Mickey Flanagan is hysterical!
Harry is brilliant. He does a great show called 'The fast show'. Its all sketches and is hilarious.
Brilliant ! Scorchio ! Paul Whitehouse?
Harry Enfield wasn't in the Fast Show.
Fawly Towers... The greatest sitcom ever made
The amazing thing is they can take mickey out of ourselves absolutely hilarious
There are so much british comedies out that just to funny. Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses, Absolutely Fabulous, Men Behaving Badly, The Vicar of Dibley, Porridge, Birds of A Feather and It Ain't Half Hot Mum. So So many more out there.
My wife got married in a white wedding dress because, after all, white is the traditional colour for domestic appliances.
"It's not women don't know how to drive. It's just, they drive strange" _Miguel Gila, Spanish comedian.
BBC, British Broadcasting Corporation - the first RV channel ever. The program is Harry Enfield (Character actor) and chums and they are in this case making fun of stereotypes from the 1940s. The various characters from the show are worth looking into. even though this is 30 or more years old.
"Venomous harridans". Pure gold.
You guy would love the Armstrong & Miller show’s characters ‘The RAF Pilots’ the sketches are about two WW2 British Royal Air Force pilots chewing the fat of modern life.
Armstrong and Miller are so underrated. As are Mitchell and Webb. "Hans, are we the baddies?"
Two great duos who delivered consistently hilarious sketches and skits in the late 90's and early 00's.
That intro was the funniest thing , had me cryin laughing !
micky Flanagan is a beast
He's brilliant.
Harry Enfield was on tv during the 90s when we enjoyed sarcasm and satire, Harry often ridiculed the establishment and elites . Here are a few more shows you will like
The fast show
Bottom the film "Guest house paradiso" ....still absolutely side splitting .
Fawlty towers.
Only fools and horses.
Porridge
The office ( Uk version )
"Originaly my perception was that British comedy wasn't funny".
British comedy is not "lowest common denominator" comedy, It is much more cerebral.
Many Americans simply don'e get it.
I am neither American or British.
Bit late to this comment section, but you really need to do more Harry Enfield. The "Gay son" skits are hilarious. Harry plays a father who can't handle his son being gay. Brilliant.
'Life of Brian' is the best of British humour & I believe the best Monty Python produced. Also check out 'Black Adder' & Charlie Brooker x
So glad you like our humour, this sketch show called Harry Enfield and Chums which is on the BBC channel 😂
There is a British cult comedy show that even though the main lead in the show has sadly passed away and the show is no longer being made , think the last show made in 1998 , it is still being shown regularly( every year) on British TV . The show is Father Ted.....about 3 priests and their housekeeper stuck on a remote Island parish off the coast of Ireland....it is surreal and it is gloriously funny.
They aresupposed to be the 1930's British information commercials. It's from a early 90's sketch show called Harry Enfield television programme.
I still quote the opening lines of the Driving one. 'But wait, here comes a WOMAN! Which side is she getting into? The driver's side - the WRONG side! It breaks me up and even my miserable wife giggles.
Love that you learned a stick shift 🤘 over here in the UK. we all learn in those 😄
And one time in history, this was how things used to be.
Ahh, the best times. Makes me feel very patriotic when looking back at classic British comedy.
Harry Enfield in embarrassing pharmacist is brilliant
You should watch Faulty Towers, Black Adder, Love thy Neighbour, and Yes Prime Minister.
Your lady put you in your place.respect😂😂
south african chemist compilation by Harry is great ;)
Best part of 30 years old this is. Harry Enfield and Chums was brilliant
Brilliant comments you two.....glad you like British comedy !
Check out Harry Enfield, Association Football sketch. ✌🇮🇪
3:36 Would have been funny if she had answered sarcastically: "Oh, I did not unterstand any of of it, but I do love little kittens."
Harry enfield american tourists very funny
The BBC is the State broadcaster in the UK. Covers news, drama, sport comedy etc. There is BBC America too.
The BBC comment delivered with no hint of amusement would in itself have qualified as axcellent English comedy.
Youre closer to being one of us than you could imagine 😈🇬🇧
