David Schneider did a comedy film in Galway, Ireland, many years ago and everyone said he was a great sport not least for having to repeatedly get dunked in a freezing Galway Bay. What a mensch!😂
Clune isn't but clown is. Same word as English, and it's pronounced "kloon" so their French is correct. A clown in French is a slapstick clown, children's clown, as here. Also pitre ..... a buffoon or imbecile.

@@robsmithracing I remember a little French from school. I believe the last words she says are 'ton niveau' - 'your level', which fits best with Nina's own translation later on. At the beginning she clearly says 'Toto mon ami' - Toto my friend.

I love how this avant garde experimental performance troupe is called 'Circus Of Clowns'.
went to see cirque du Soleil the other day and couldn't help noticing that they've basically based all their clowning on this sketch.
Partridge is along with Brent the best comic character of the past 40 years. KMKY is unparalleled
Hear hear
Here Here
Agreed
Armando Ianucci
Brent isn't even close, the longevity of partridge , the career and spiraling nature of the decline is superb, oasthouse is sublime
This is so funny. Fantastic choreography. David Schneider is absolutely brilliant.
2:24 made me genuinely laugh out loud.
How brilliant is David Schneider in this ?
He was super creepy with that awful tongue hanging out. I imagine any women having to experience that must be grusome
Yes superb. Still funny
Harpo Marx vibes there
Absolutely brilliant.
Terrifically brilliant!
That female clown is ooh la la
She is indeed

David Schnieder as Harpo
The lead clown is actually Alan's boss, Tony Hayers, playing a prank, but Alan doesnt recognise him.
Er... No
The actor plays multiple roles in the series. All of them do.
Jonny Jackson Are you on the spectrum?
@@sangyedorje3564 No. Did you know your names an anagram of J Greasy Dong?
@@jonnyjackson6050 hahaha, funny and relevant. Anal dirgeprat anyone?
Some things just go straight over peoples heads huh?
When he calls them a disgrace is to funny. He Actually seems to hate them with ever fibre of his body as he didn't like there act lol.
Steve! Steve! Steve!...Steve......Steve! Steve, STEVE! Steve!....Steve! ....Steve
He'll catch him later
Harpo reincarnated .
its like a 5 minute cirque du soleil,which is 5 too many.
Classic Partridge.
And that ladies and gentlemen sums up the French 😁
Best thing about the real Cirque du soleil is the musicians
"What was he doing on the bloody roof?"
i love love love AP! :D
Patrick Marber is a triumph!
'Tail between his legs'
He actually reminds me of Bryan ferry with that pencil moustache
Brilliant lol
The guy who plays the "clown" with the shock of blonde hair is brilliant - totally fucking hilarious. :-D
David Schneider, from The Day Today/Brass Eye
It's also Tony Hayers, former head of the BBC, lol
Oh and he was in Mission Impossible at the end.
ArcanePath360 and the scientist at the start of 28 Days Later
Also in an episode of Mr Bean doing judo ironically, seeing as he did a judo sketch on the day today.
Tony "Smell my cheese" Hayers, director of the BBC
And he had the nerve to deny Al another series!
Comedy gold 😂😂😂
th reactions here are gold.....en farts
Disappointed to discover after all these years that "clune" is not actually the French word for clown :(
Clune isn't but clown is. Same word as English, and it's pronounced "kloon" so their French is correct.
A clown in French is a slapstick clown, children's clown, as here.
Also pitre ..... a buffoon or imbecile.
Clune is moon.
Opposite to soleil.
@@highdownmartin Lune is moon, no?

Childish things can be very funny lol😂
He really has the most extraordinary face, I would like him and Rowan Atkinson to have a "face off"! actually that sounds like one of Alan's ideas lol
Ron Wylie Lynne....idea for a programme
The French presenter with the bob is quietly filthy.
Widmerpool99 that’s the lovely & talented Mel Hudson...
I would hope so
A great sketch of sexual nonsense, fun and inuendoes. To luv or not to luv, that is the question !
Jurassic Park!
Can someone translate the French please? I know she tells Alan later, but I would like an exact translation. The clown's words too.
My friend, it's not worth it he's a bit rubbish and too inexperienced to cope with someone on you level haha.
oh okay sorry I didn't know
well it took nearly 2years to get the answer! but thanks, it was worth the wait. 😃
She says “ok that’s enough of embarrassing this idiot, go have a drink and we’ll see you later” to which the clown replies “oh ok then”.

@@Amethyst_Friend I’m afraid I made it up. I learnt GCSE German not French!
"You're a disgrace." Is what I say to my stepdad because he doesn't find this funny lol.
I presume your in charge.
you’re!

Glen ponds is the subject of a sacking
Is that Rebecca Front as the female clown?
Who'd have known Tony Hayes was a clown before head of the BBC
Tail between his legs!
Is that 80s pop temptress Sonia in the Cirque de Clunes?
It's Tony Hayers with a wig on.
Stephen Dines
No, it's David Schneider acting.
3rd clown is Ben Moor !!
hot clown
Is that Rebecca front there as the clown
Sure looks like her, although she does appears as fashion designer after this segment
It's Melanie Hudson. She also had a comedy radio show which is worth listening to; it's called The Hudson and Pepperdine Show.
@@nytrex2001melanie hudson is the co-presenter, not the clown...
He's such a crack-up. Actually, at the risk of being dubbed a chav or whatever it is, I quite like the outfit he wears 🙄.
Council housing and violent?
No, no, no
1:47 That's very rude
Why can't all women dress like that French mime like uuum all the time?
That may be the worst CZcams comment I have ever seen. Congratulations, you are pathetic.

The real joke is that Alan is absolutely right - Cirque de Clowns is truly terrible.

Disgusting! This country...
Mon ami, ça ne vaut pas le coup il est un peu nul et trop inexpérimenté pour faire face à quelqu'un de ton niveau
No...that was just a noise.
