Relationship? Where'd you learn that word one of those park Avenue head shrinkers? Theres nothing a dego understands better than a slap in the mouth or a slug
Polly (his American wife in real life, was so lovely and smart) but I've never seen so many talented actors, regardless of super hot Polly. Prunella Scales was superb as the fictional wife.
I'm 12 and I LOVE this! Fawlty towers is class. Better than any sitcom today! "Where is door?" "Ah!" "Door is gone!" "Where? Here...?" BANG WHACK BANG! Hil. Ar. I. Ous!
The comedy timing of Andrew Sachs is something that isn't appreciated enough. I lose it with the little nod of acceptance he does after the slap in the first clip
Oh my god I love this so much. This Basil, this basil's wife, this smack on the head!! thats my all time favorite quote thank you for putting this on ;-)
Just brilliant; people misunderstand that the joke was as much on Basil as Manuel. It’s a form of double-edged parody and in no way racist. It’s a shame we’ve become so overly sensitive and unable to see that comedy is so subtlety multilayered.
a co star of this programme said that john cleese could be sadistic, cruel and hurt them many times with his antics..Andrew sachs recounted that episode where john cleese hit his head with the teaspoon. He said he thought that would be the end but he ran the spoon down his forehead and nose.! H e said that hurt a lot
This is a typical day at my work. Dealing with non English speaking customers. I feel like basil fawlty when he says “ please try to understand before one of us dies”
One of the best tv programs ever! I love british humour. Black Adder, Mr Bean, Keeping up apperences. The list is endless :))) If this was to be aired today though, hell would be raised. People would be screaming about racism...
"He's from Barcelona..." The emergency way of instantly fixing any embarrassing situation involving Manuel and other people's appreciation of what exactly is happening! 😂
One of my best friends has a Spanish mother and grew up in Spain. He said one of the biggest insults in the Madrid area is, "Your mother has sour milk."
i was not a fan of python,,,this show ,,,i love! so few episodes,,,and yet it still lives on!!! my favorite is the Germans,,,,,or when Basil gives his mini a "dam good thrashing"lol,,,, priceless!
"Please, please try to understand before one of us dies!" :D I love watching the interviews with Andrew Sachs (the actor who played Manuel so perfectly), because he's so the exact opposite of Manuel in manner and voice-- very, very articulate, posh-sounding Brit actor, which just goes to show you how talented he was that he so completely changed to become this character so very different from the man you'd see on the street (and apparently he actually liked being anonymous and not recognized on the streets even at the peak of Fawlty Towers' popularity-- gave him some nice quiet anonymity in his down-time from a long-week of shooting!)
Andreas Siegfried Sachs, geb. 7. April 1930 in Berlin, verbrachte die ersten acht Lebensjahre in Deutschland, bevor seine Familie 1938 nach England flüchtete, um dem Nazi-Terror zu entgehen. Hervorragender Schauspieler mit einem perfekten Timing!!! Er schlug John Cleese vor, den Hilfskellner als Deutschen anzulegen, da er ja deutscher Muttersprachler sei, doch Cleese überzeugte ihn, daß er als "Spanier" besser sei.
It's my birthday lol It's my birthday lol Coming here leaving my sister's my mother in Spain You Manuel you and basil make this program it one of my favorite I grew up on it Thank you and R.i.p .
I love the one with the dirty spoon (manuel thinks it's clean, Basil doesn't) !!! It's my favorite part.Too bad it wasn't in this. Also the "man with beard" scene it genius!!!
After dealing with actual spanish waiters you realize how unrealistics this was .. They are usually hot tempered and dont take shit from anyone, specially a guiri or foreigner. You dont even need to get physical, whenever they feel disrespected in the slightest they either ignore you, insult you or punch you in the face. But this kind of spineless behaviour is unheard of amongst them. I guess the actor was not even spanish, otherwise he would know of this cultural nuance.
"Please try to understand before one of us DIES!" might be the perfect summary for their entire relationship.
Actually it sounds like one of my English lessons
Might be it is haha
Is possible
My favourite line in the whole series 🤣🤣🤣
Relationship? Where'd you learn that word one of those park Avenue head shrinkers? Theres nothing a dego understands better than a slap in the mouth or a slug
'remember manuel, you know nothing.'
'you always say that mr fawlty but i learn'
Basil: I'm the manager!
Manuel: Manaher, he manaher
18 years old, love this show. Doesn't matter how many times you watch it, you laugh.
Well i still love this show today. These actors are all legends!
"This Basil's wife, this Basil, this smack on the head." *slap* Gets me every time! XD
hy wer iem living ther is starff ajensjesey wer tthayarjust like manwell aallthow iwood like to giv themthe spoon smak the manijer wll tellme off
The way Manuel nods in sincere understanding at "this smack on head"!
R.i.p. Andrew Sachs.I had no idea he was a British actor.I was so convinced he was Spanish like his character Manuel.
He was German-British!
@@haps2019 He voiced Manuel in the German dub, speaking German with a spanish accent. That takes mad skill.
Andrew Sachs originally wanted Manuel to be German, which would’ve been very easy for him, but John Cleese refused.
@@haps2019
He must have been the first half German in history to have a sense of humour then.
I know!!!!
the scene on Manuel's birthday pulls at my heartstringssssss :((((
Me too! 😣
Naww bless him lol
Truly one of the best comedies ever where have we gone there is no comedy like this anymore sadly
hy iwoch folty towse bazell is funie
hyiiwos wondering the same thing
@Return of the Native THIS WORLD IS BECOMING MORE & MORE INSANE !!!!!!
Que?
@Return of the Native Dad's Army is literally shown every week
Basil carrying Manuel through the dinning room ..
"-Well get on with your meals "
ha ha ha classic
"I'm so sorry. He's from Barcelona."
I've always wondered what actual Barcelonians think of this show.
Manuel was Italian there
@@masterfarr8265 nope, he was spanish
Discrimination.
@@ivanmartinez-jd8gi in spanish dubbing he was Italian
@@HouseCzechowski "Where's the Duce?"
"In Rome!"
Polly (his American wife in real life, was so lovely and smart) but I've never seen so many talented actors, regardless of super hot Polly. Prunella Scales was superb as the fictional wife.
"Uh, today we have veef, beal or thothages!"
It's absolutely brilliant, no other words. So funny.
Funniest sit com ever. Still makes me laff time and time again. even my 14 year old daughter, riddled with teen-gene, laughs.
I'm 12 and I LOVE this! Fawlty towers is class. Better than any sitcom today!
"Where is door?"
"Ah!"
"Door is gone!"
"Where? Here...?"
BANG WHACK BANG!
Hil. Ar. I. Ous!
Do you like it now?
@@aaronjay4118 Who wouldn´t?
I am going to say l am 11 my next post and see if l get more likes 67 sux.
"Mr Fawlty. I no want to work here any more."
Watching John Cleese flip out has been historically funny.
hy yes ilike it wen joncclees filpsout
The comedy timing of Andrew Sachs is something that isn't appreciated enough. I lose it with the little nod of acceptance he does after the slap in the first clip
I wish somebody would bring show back on tv, again ! It was the GREATEST comedy show EVER !
Your wish is granted
But with most of the comic greats who are sadly great dead now, will it work bringing it back?
the knock with the spoon on the head, that was a real one, so funny but so painful
Andrew Sachs was properly injured twice in this show, once with a frying pan to the back of the head and once with fire.
Fawlty Towers in a comedic class all alone...funniest show ever.
The eye poke was hilarious 😅😅
Has anyone realize that this comedic acts were physical violence, that uttered great laughter!
Loved this show in the 70's, still love it
Pc wouldn't allow this today
Yes they would, it’s not racism, it’s the language barrier
0:24 "Today we have veef, beal or thotha-hess" 😂🤣😂
“Bangers!”
“Will you shut up?”
My favorite moment:
"Well, what are you going to do now, then?"
"Que?"
"WHAT! YOU! DO! NOW!"
"¿Qué?"
Oh my god I love this so much.
This Basil, this basil's wife, this smack on the head!! thats my all time favorite quote thank you for putting this on ;-)

Narcissism by Basil portrayed beautifully you mean?
Why should this be racism? Basil is White and so are Manuel.
Spanish is a nationality and not a race
@@KristerAndersson-nc8zo As are the Germans...
Ohh I agree.
That poke in the eye 🤣🤣🤣
“Don’t look at me with those awful cow eyes” Fuckin amazing lmao
“ Manuel , Let me explain “
(Poke Manuel in the eye ) at 1:30
the spoon-smack is the best ...KNoocK
"Waste of space..."
yesilikte thataswell ther at thar momet iwoolike todoothe spoon smak to the starff weriliv
ahaha "where is door" brilliant

He said he thought that would be the end but he ran the spoon down his forehead and nose.! H e said that hurt a lot
1:30 - there is NOTHING funnier than someone getting poked in the eye!
Shades of Moe...
Really? get out more numpty
@@NuisanceMan that pokes another stooge like Curly in the eyes.
Even the slaps.
By the contrary... its really a well written show, one of the best in the 80's
'cept for, you know, this show came out in the 70s.
I'm sorry for the mistake... i was misleaded by the air date in my country since it only passed in the 80's ;)
70's, not the 80's.
OMG...Such an old programme and it is sooo friggin Funny....Cracked me up....Couldn't stop laughing...'Why don't u cheer up for Christ sake'.... LOL
This is a typical day at my work. Dealing with non English speaking customers. I feel like basil fawlty when he says “ please try to understand before one of us dies”
Oh, this was just great..I forgot how funny this show is..thanks for posting!
One of the best tv programs ever! I love british humour. Black Adder, Mr Bean, Keeping up apperences. The list is endless :))) If this was to be aired today though, hell would be raised. People would be screaming about racism...
Manuel was the star of the show
Fawlty :_Well done Manuel!
Manuel:_Que?
Fawlty: -Oh... Ole...
"¿Qué?"
"¡Olé!"
The show must have been a riot when it aired in Spain!
In the Spanish version I think he was Italian 🤣
what about the scene where the others are discussing putting Basil the Rat to S L E E P....lol and Manuel says 'Spleep? what is spleep? lol
"He's from Barcelona..." The emergency way of instantly fixing any embarrassing situation involving Manuel and other people's appreciation of what exactly is happening! 😂
Great work Vpmatt, you’re an amazing comic writer
LogicalNotes Wish I could take credit for it.
Poor Manuel
I am so happy that I stumbled upon this serial
Who else is watching this 2019...
So funny Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣
👇🏽
Pobre Manuel. Es tan majo 😅
I like the gourmet night episode when Kurt gets drunk that's the best episode ever
“WHAT. YOU. DO. NOW.”
I serve breakfast
Ah well, let's see you then
One of my best friends has a Spanish mother and grew up in Spain. He said one of the biggest insults in the Madrid area is, "Your mother has sour milk."
i was not a fan of python,,,this show ,,,i love! so few episodes,,,and yet it still lives on!!! my favorite is the Germans,,,,,or when Basil gives his mini a "dam good thrashing"lol,,,, priceless!
Their chemistry together was Genius. Good Cop Dumb Cop...was hilarious
don't hit me, always you hit me :D
Manuel: Que?
Basil: I´ll be damned if I know how they put together an Armada
I miss fawlty towers so i bought the dvd to watch it alot.
Continental cretin has to be the best insult ever 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Obviously couldn't be made now because we've pretty moved on from that... but fuck it's so funny....

Timeless British humour at its best
It's my birthday lol

Coming here leaving my sister's my mother in Spain
You Manuel you and basil make this program it one of my favorite I grew up on it
Thank you and R.i.p .
Basel hit Manuel, head of the Moose hit Basel!!😂😂😂👏👏👏
without manuel this would be half as funny.
Why did we love Basle. He was a nasty piece of work really.
And one of the greatest lines in all comedy.
What is witnit???
Absolute comedy gold!!
This video should have more views!
So funny though I believe it really hurt Andrew when John wacked him on the forehead with the serving spoon! 😯
According to Andrew, it did hurt.
Andrew has seen worse, apparently John accidentally knocked him out by hitting him with a real frying pan instead of a padded prop once lol
Cleese is so violent quite refreshing 😂😂😂
You forgot the saucepan over the head one what did actually fuck poor Manuel up, bless him.
Pure Genius!
Utter brilliance!!
I love the one with the dirty spoon (manuel thinks it's clean, Basil doesn't) !!! It's my favorite part.Too bad it wasn't in this. Also the "man with beard" scene it genius!!!
I WAS A YOUNG KID WATCHING FAWLTY TOWERS. I ALWAYS LIKED MANUEL FROM BARCELONA.
haha...thanks for the compilation...hilarious..
thank you
Timing, timing, timing.
lol! oh my god, such classics!
The poor guy who had to play Manuel
Andrew Sachs? He got a couple of injuries (fire, frying pan to the head) but got paid for his work.
@dogsarefab that´s a very good idea, I´d love to do a Sybil / Basil video if I ever get the time.
I thought Moe was mean to Curly. Hell, Basil hit like Mule!
brilliant
I believe he pushed him down some stairs one time, wish they showed that one it was epic
Utterly brilliant very very funny
1:43
Don't!!
What?
Don't hit me! Always you hit me!
hahahahah
Manuel's sign saying "OK". 😂😂😂😂
Black Books used the same type of chemistry with Bernard and Manny
Yess I was just thinkin of that!!
I love both shows
Where is the clip where Manuel and Fawlty go at it cos there's a fire in the kitchen and Basil thinks it's a false alarm? XD
IS NO FIRE, ONLY BELL!

Manuel, let me explain, poke in the eye 😂
"Since coming here from Spain."

And don´t forget about the frying pan he got hit in the head with when he was hangover the day after his birthday!
foom5 it was a real pan!
