- iv seen you in the butchers buying liver instead of lamb! more comedy genius from the fast show. arthur atkinson and tommy cockles :) wheres me washboard!! have you seen it!
I used to dislike this sketch as a child watching this, now I cant get enough of it.
WHERES ME WASHBOARD! ha, such a one-liner! brilliant
I know this is 7 years late but thats exactly how I feel, used to love the Fast Show and be in tears laughing at everything else as a child but when this came on Id just roll my eyes and wait for it to end, took me until I was 20 years older to appreciate how subtle and brilliant the character is.
Still hate the "Suits You Sir" crap though, that was never funny.
@@Th4rgor This late appreciation is just showing how brilliant writing was on fast show, timeless. Bes comedy show ever made.
@@Th4rgor I hope some day you’ll come around to Suits You, Sir, just as you came around to Arthur. It’s brilliant!
Pure Genius Paul !!!! 👏🤣🤣🤣
I've seen you buying Mutton
On a Friday.❤🤣
This is so clever! Paul Whitehouse is remarkable.
How to be unfunny by being totally hilarious, Paul Whitehouse is a comedy genius!!
I thought he was being hilarious by being totally unfunny. I see this is deep.
My grandfather (RIP) saw Arthur during the war in Malta. He turned up late, drunk and
made a remark about Lord Boothby that drew gasps. But it was a good show, my granda
said. Arthur attempted ventriloquism in his war years, but it wasn't good. The dummy was
called, "Sambo" and all it did was make grunting noises and was eventually incinerated as it was thought to be spreading lies, propaganda and disease (it was actually Arthur doing this,
as recently unearthed archives have show). Simpler times and in the end, Hitler was defeated.
"March the 2nd that was a nice day wasn't it" LOL
I was watching this,tonight shocked as March 2nd is my birthday ,!😂
@@Holygasoline Mine too...
My Pet Parrot Friedrich Engels died on March 2nd . It was upsetting I had taught it to Sing a synopsis Of the good bits from Engels Novel.
The Condition of the Working Class in England. Sadly Fred the parrot never got to perform it at the Hebden Bridge Trades club.
@@Holygasoline I’ve seen you wrappin presents when it’s nobody’s birthday!
@@Holygasoline How queer!
Ow Queer!,Where's Me Washboard!,a truly classic character,i still use these catchphrases today!
Twelve years later… I thought it was, “How queer!”.
This clip seriously got me searching for my washboard.
Well, where was it then? ‘Ad you seen it?
How queer?..
Like much of the stuff on the Fast Show this is brilliantly observed. If you listen to people like Max Miller or Tommy Handley this is exactly what they sounded like.
......or even Arthur Askey!
@@japsley6172 Can I do you now, Sir?
@@japsley6172 watched arthur askey and stinker murdoch on a very early tv show.apart from leaping about and shouting inanities for no apparent reason he kept saying after every painfully set up unfunny punch line thats not in the script! of course people my dad was one believed that comics like miller trinder and askey made it up as they went along!!! michael grade talking about music hall on tv said people honestly believed they invented their jokes on the spot.trinder was notorious for saying to the papers especially during his tv palladium days in the 50s that hed never used a script in his life! what amazed grade was the audiences who saw them do exactly the same act year in year out at music halls believed them!! in fact as michael said of the crazy gang who allegedly made it up as they went along it was pure bullshit!!! the acts had to run an exact length of time or face the wrath of the theater chain! every line had to be accepted by the theater manager and you couldnt deviate a word.trinders act to the second was the same pace and speed word for word in cornwall or chesterfield! some comics frank randle for one did improvise then found themselves blacklisted by every theater in the country! miller famously got in trouble at a royal command show post war for overunning with gags unrehearsed when he was going well.he was basically hauled off stage and famous as he was never worked for bernard delfont at the palladium or their other theaters again!!
@@mikekemp9877 that's interesting. thats a bit like Charles Bronson and Clint Eatswood in the 70s. They would show off their muscles and great bodies in various movies but claimed that they never worked out! Later discovered that was bulldust, but believed it at the time!
@@japsley6172 yes exactly or tom cruise bradd pitt steve mcqueen etc do all their own stunts!!!
'Still that was arthur..' hahaha..
I like Tommy Cockles....
I preferred his sidekick Chester Draws.
I like that line, by the German.
However I actually dislike Tommy Cockles.
X2 people have been wrapping presents when its nobody's birthday :(
He's still funnier than Amy Schumer.
@demonbre
So is toothache.
I've seen ya writing comments on CZcams like there's no Tomorrow!
March 2nd today..... How queeeeeeeer
Où est ma planche à laver ?!
Simon Day's a genius.
I used to wonder how this character was meant to be funny. How ignorant I was
Yes, it's really funny because it's not funny.
@@lewis72
Exactly. It's terrible. But so funny.
I'd rather be caught finding this funny than be seen bobbing up and down in the moonlight like your brother and his friend
@@robertexley5193 Ooo! Oo are you then? Harry the Hun from Hackney Wick?
How queer
Open the window, shut the door
Deffo Max Miller skit.. Very funny. Excellent.
Who are you? Billy the Kid from Hackney Wick? LMAO
*Agony Wick 😉
Very well observed the way he rolls his 'r's' like cockneys used to do but now no longer.
@cymro6537
And he does it so well. That said, I'm not sure they ever did rolls 'r's' in this fashion. It was perhaps a stereotype enforced by the entertainment industry and cemented by Ealing Comedies later. I could be wrong.
Où se trouve ma planche à laver?
Quel pouf.
Si etrange!
I believe part of the joke here is about what people laugh at. Funnily enough it doesn't have to be funny.
Seeing as Arthur trades in catchphrases, I’ve always assumed that part of the joke was against themselves, suggesting that the Fast Show would seem equally baffling and unfunny to younger generations.
I would pay good money to see a show like this,crazy repetitive hilarity!.
Paul whitehouse genius

Have you seen it?
‘Liver instead of lamb’ this made-up allusion may be based on an underground urban legend. I won’t go into it. But Philip Roth does, in his book ‘Portnoy’s Complaint’.
Still I never got it back
But that was Arthur
where is my washboard.
Arthur's about as funny as Big Headed Askey with his bloody Bee Song.
It's Arthur dressed as Max Miller, with George Formby's laugh and excess use of catchphrases as in ITMA.
