Peter Cook & Dudley Moore discussing the Nativity and Life of B̶r̶i̶a̶n̶ Jesus. Filmed during the duo's "Behind The Fridge" tour in Australia in 1971 at the GTV9 studios.
Me too! Years ago I was walking down the street in Manhattan --cant remember what street-- snd who's coming straight toward me but Dudley Moore. I'm 5'3" and he was just about my height. I stopped right in front of him and said DUDLEY MOORE! You saved my life when I was in Australia. He wanted to hear my story, which I won't repeat here because it's too long, but the story ends with me leaving 10 days before I was supposed to get married He was a delight, sweet, and generous in that he wanted to know everything.
As a deeply dedicated and committed Christian, to me this offensive and highly disrespectful skit had me rolling with unrestrained laughter. They really nailed it.
Good Lord, those guys were funny.......good ole fashion British humour. I wish I could turn the clocks back and bring them back. Thank you Peter thank you Dudley for all the laughs.
❤ Well … Alas, there really are some deprived, apparently smaller - scared? minds who do get offended… I just feel so sorry for the poor folks who choose to, you know?

Complete bliss! I'd never seen this before so it was a joy to watch. They were unique and so wonderfully funny. Their use of language was sublime...sadly becoming a lost art. Surely the inspiration for the Life of Brian. Perfection.
Pete and Dud will forever be within my heart. No matter if it was the Church, the State or the Judiciary, they knew their craft. Thank providence that they young folk can see them in the 21st century, and beyond.
I always love this sort of analytical humour: choose a topic and then dissect it to look for the potential humour in each aspect of it. :-) I'm a Pete n Dud fan, but I'd never seen this sketch before.
pre violent temper derek and clive - which kindda gained them a certain set of fan as against the alleged educated masses who enjoyed the in-joke during the establishment days. whatever that was, the in joke, i mean...... a fantastic duo... fantastic!!!! i was, most certainly, you're quite right kirsty...er debbi........................ born in the wrong era. i should have been born late late 1930's, in sussex. where i could have engaged with this on a more immediate level. immediacy of the image and the moment, y'see.... i would like to have met jimmy christ, also. i bet you have.
This is absolutely bloody amazing.What’s happened to British humour since the greats, Dave Allen , Monty Python, Peter Sellers side splitting humour . Thanks for this it made my day
@@peterdavidasige8073 What you've forgotten is how many of those from the generation before you didn't find this at all funny.... Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
Mary Whitehouse certainly had her minions complain to the Beeb in their millions, & Pete & Dud's best work got nowhere near the TV back then. You couldn't say "bloody" on the TV while their albums were a different story. The C word was used liberally. Peter Cooke was one of the most sued comedians of his generation, with several obscenity trials as the owner of Private Eye....People think there was less political correctness then...That's an illusion.
To think, this pre dates Life of Brian by 9 years. And does all the things they accused LOB of doing x10. ....and what they did with Bedazzled was just brilliant. What a couple of underrated geniuses.
How wonderful to find this! I had the great joy on my first day In London, walking through the West End and coming across life-size cutout photos of Pete and Dud in front of a theatre. I hurried in and got a ticket for that night's performance of "Behind the Fridge". I saw it again when they came to California. The next time I saw Dudley was so much sadder. It was at a wake for Peter at the Directors' Guild in Los Angeles. Dudley arrived late and couldn't manage to answer any questions about Peter. We all thought he was drunk, understandable after losing his long-time partner. What we didn't know was that he was in the throes of the brain disease that killed him. However I'd brought along one of my young writers who didn't know them and as we watched "Bedazzled" he kept sliding to the floor, convulsed with laughter and the Pete and Dud legacy was passed along to another generation.
O, WOW! I am SO wistfully 3ealous! YOU SAW 'EM LIVE! Wow, wow, WOW. And the memorial. Good on you, Geraldine! Still so so, so, SAD and tragic, Dudley Moore's tragic, rare disease. SO CRUEL. Thank you ALWAYS, brilliant, BTILLIANT Pete n' Dud!
Saw Behind the Fridge in London in 1973, then in the Boston try out in 1974 as Good Evening. Wish the sound recording was still available. Still funny after so many decades. 😂❤😂❤😂❤
Great memories. I can still remember Pete and Dud in the art gallery, "Well, the way to tell a great painting, Pete, is that the eyes always follow you around the room." And so many skits where Pete is ironing his plastic mac and just waffling on.
I saw them in Perth WA but I’d already called my 2 cats Pete and Dud. Pete was long and skinny and Dud was shorter with a crooked tail. Loved watching this again - wonderful memories flooding back. Thank you.
Absolutely. My fave Peter and Dudley or Derek and Clive moments tended to be the ones where Peter would suddenly go off-script or drop an impromptu line in, usually resulting in Dudley totally corpsing. Fantastic
I disagree. they are forgotten. I hadn't heard of them much and I am 56. I knew of them I didn't know they were this amazing. brilliant. I will look for more. any suggestions?
LEGENDS ❤ my brothers used to do Pete and Dudley’s sketches on a Sunday night after tea, I was only young but I used to watch all the comedy greats, Tony Hancock, monty python, spike Milligan as I got older, my comedy today is Peter Kay, Micky Flanagan who we are seeing in September can’t wait, we have tickets to see Miriam margoyles in October, she’s so talented and so grounded, wonderful woman, I am and always will be loyal to British comedy greats I carry them with fond memories of family and laughter.
I saw version of this live when they toured with a full slate of sketches and a bit of Dudley at the piano. This and the one-legged (unidextered) Tarzan aspirant absolutely blew me away. I'd not known about this extension with the added "interviews" until now. Wonderful enhancements. Thanks for posting this delightful surprise. You've earned a free dinner at the Frog & Peach.
3 thumbs up, mind you - lack of progress in genetically engineering procludes me from actually doing that...but as per the usual, its the thought that counts
My brother had a cassette tape of this skit back in the early 80's and I loaned it to someone and never got it back. Hearing it again was marvellous. Amazing how the mind can bring back the punch lines before they get delivered. A great piece of comedy by the masters. Thanks for posting.
I remember listening to "Beyond the Fringe" back in he 1950s, but I had never heard this one. The sermon (Alan Bennet) on BTF was hilarious, and I had memorised it by heart.
Unfair comparison. How we forget drivel such as On The Busses, Terry & June, Love The Neighbour etc etc. Pete & Dud were exceptional for their time, diamonds in a sea of crap, & 99% of their best material was never broadcast.
@@graemestarkey7524 I absolutely agree. There's a lot of nonsense talked about "political correctness" and "cancel culture", today compared to the past.
Really miss them along with so much of what was on the tellie back in the 60's. Was a time when comedy was really funny and classless. The 60's was wild, ya should have been there. Wish I still was with what I know now.
I wonder how much improvisation there was in this sketch. They wee notorious for trying to "corpse" each other and get the other one to laugh out loud. One of the tragedies of early television is that very few copies of their show "Not only... But also" exist. I was a massive fan as a young man and still remember some of the hilarious sketches, such as the two cavemen talking on a chalk floor, which when the camera pans out above them is revealed to be the private parts of the Cerne Abbas Giant. Comic geniuses!
This does make me wonder? Could this have been Monty Python’s inspiration for The Life Of Brian? . . . If someone told me it was, I would see all the clues in the style and type of humour. A delightful little piece of televisual history nonetheless, which made me giggle and put a genuine smile of jolliness on my face which lingered for some time after. Thank you for that. 😁✌️
No dont think so ! The thing is with Religion its a brilliant vehicle for comedy being so utterly ridiculous in so many ways and so it begs to have the piss taken out of it as indeed many comedians have done over the years
The Python crew and Pete and Dud were Oxford or Cambridge educated before undergraduates had Humour by-passes and 'cancel' anyone who disturb their emotional equilibrium.
Brilliant-- Monty Python were influenced greatly by Pete and Dud, and they usually acknowledged it. John Cleese called Peter Cook (paraphrasing) The funniest man in the world. Dudley Moore was equally funny, in his own way.
Grew up with this stuff (even tho Im American and from Irish people) This keeps poppin up in my recommended vids. And I am so glad. For He so loved the World. * sarcastic drum roll *
They were comedy greats and we need this kind of thing so much today, especially in our world where people get so offended at practically anything. Our generation should learn to laugh more, as it's been said, "Laughter is the best medicine" and it is. Don't be so bloody serious! Learn to laugh at yourself.
You mean when the 'Last Passion of the Christ' or 'The Life of Brian' or 'Dogma' were released and all of the above screamed bloody murder but the films still came out and millions watched em? The crazies are always crazy, the genius writers remain genius writers.
@@GrrMeister what a load of shit. You act like this skit is the first time anyone's said look at the good things in life. That's like me claiming these guys got the idea for this skit from the song "What a wonderful world". This crap is nowhere near as funny as Monty Python. Oh and if you dummies really think this was the inspiration for Life of Brian then I would suggest you go and watch some of the interviews with the Python cast where they explain where they _really_ got their inspiration from.
No doubt there were those who objected at the time, but being able to take the mickey out of Christianity - or any religion - is, ultimately, a sign of societal strength . . .
Little Known Fact Dept: Few details are known about Jimmy Christ. But there are records from the training ground that Jimmy, while apprenticing to be a carpenter, also trained with the Tottenham youth squad and, showing some promise as a midfielder, played in a few U-17 games, and one U-21 match....
Magical humour as it's meant to be, two of the greast, dishing out their poke at everybody and anything, so glad I was around to see this live, in the times before everyone got offended by everything and spoilt the world. P. C. is just a hiding place for those without the balls to call a spade a bloody spade! And that's it in a nutshell. If your offended, go talk to someone who gives **** because I don't!
The Pythons used a variation of this skit in the pre-credit sequence in "Life of Brian." Even though they eventually removed it for pacing reasons, it's included in the DVD as a bonus feature.
Loved the skit when I saw it in Behind the Fridge in early 70, love it just as much now, especially the Enoch reference to that bloody racist Powell. Brilliant lads
Saw this back in the very early 70’s in Australia. So glad that it hasn’t been lost.👍
Me too!
Years ago I was walking down the street in Manhattan --cant remember what street-- snd who's coming straight toward me but Dudley Moore. I'm 5'3" and he was just about my height.

Why don’t we have comedy shows like this any more? I loved these two. Never to be forgotten.
Because of religious snowflakes.

I thought those were both pretty fantastic actually. rare case of recapturing the magic
So very funny! Small wonder their version of Faust (the good version of Bedazzled) was such witty humour!

P. C. is just a hiding place for those without the balls to call a spade a bloody spade! And that's it in a nutshell. If your offended, go talk to someone who gives **** because I don't!
You sound like a Peter Cook caricature.
"It was his old man wot done the universe" -- a stunning scriptural insight from He who made Monty Python look like a dead pope.

The Pythons used a variation of this skit in the pre-credit sequence in "Life of Brian." Even though they eventually removed it for pacing reasons, it's included in the DVD as a bonus feature.
Great stuff - and no naughty words... 🙂
Loved the skit when I saw it in Behind the Fridge in early 70, love it just as much now, especially the Enoch reference to that bloody racist Powell. Brilliant lads
Nothing wrong with Enoch! Could do with him now to kick out all the immigrants and give us our country back.
Victoria Saper Enoch wasn’t a racist Read the speech
Enoch was right. Have a look at Birmingham and Luton.
