And Smith and Jones

One Leg Too Few

Brilliant!

Originally called The Rugger Buggers, I think.

Loved Gelliant Gutfright (the other one Flowers for Wendy is good too) but this one is very simple and brilliant:

...is wonderful, but here's the other great hardware sketch

I just love this

Sheep, Sheep, sheep, Crocodil

from Absolutely, where the practice names get ever longer....

Hoddle, Waddle, Dundas etc.

"Armstrong & Miller" - The teacher:

"Big Train" - New office manager:

I found myself asking my daughter "is this the five minute argument or the full half hour ? "
Need I say more ?

It could have been one of many from this program,but this one slays me.(Up the Spurs!)

You can see the punchline coming a mile off, but David Mitchell's timing makes it:

even though (because) they're basically just silly.

Not fork handles, this one gets me every time. Most creative use of Cox's Orange Pippins as a punch line ever.

Brilliant.

oTo include the first ten minutes of the frankly glorious LOve and Death. If that isn't ten minutes of sketches I don't know what is...

The Caledonia Bank Call Centre ...

I hadn't seen this in about 15 years, but it's still as funny as I remember.

Aside from a running gag involving Sir William Rees-Mogg and some stripper music, this is my favourite. Don't look at the title or it will spoil the punchline.

I got the box set of all 4 series; I'd forgotten how many great sketches they did:

...but this floors me every time

Baked potato song

Peanuts!

and from 1:10 onwards you think 'only in Vic n Bob's world'

A sketch show from BBC Scotland in the mid '80's possibly prior to Naked Video.

Robbie Coltrane was in it and possibly Elaine C Smith.

I'm at work at the mo and not able to trawl You Tube but I recall one sketch featuring Coltrane and others as a superior race of aliens visiting Earth. Only one thing could kill them; beetroot. They find themselves marooned, unable to leave and suicidal. The punchline (which will fall very flat here) was 'OK, this is it. Sliced or Baby Beet?'

Er... yes. Look, it was funny. I'll try and find it and post it later.

Anything with 'Unlucky Alf' from The Fast Show usually had me crying. Especially the one with the foul mouthed parrot. "Wanker. Wanker. Wanker. Twat. Twat"

I know this isnt a sketch, just a scene, but when Del & Rodney go diamond smuggling, Albert has just got the boat out on to the open sea, when Del stands in the bow, (pointy end), starts waxing about the british people, he then takes his flat cap off & starts singing......
"Robin hood, robin hood...."

Priceless

Yes, yes I know. But for my money this is one of the greats...

Can't find it on YouTube.

Hospital, worried parental types standing outside operating room. Doctor comes up to them.

Dr: Mr and Mrs Bloggs.. As you know, your son was knocked down by a bus and I'm afraid that the news isn't good.

Parents: (Gasps)

Dr: Yes. His pants. Quite the dirtiest we've seen this week.

(Father comforts horrified, distraught mother)

Of course there's the marvellous Goodness Gracious me

and

always thought we Irish can be a bit like this....

Love the near corpsing in this one.

Here are a few of my favourites - a far higher than average strike rate...

"Dead clown in the garden..."
Very NSFW!

And the VERY TRUE wedding cake sketch

And fellas-I'm sure we can relate to this one..

Less a sketch, more a journey to another reality.

Just remembered one of my favourites - Atkinson at his brilliant best:

as my tea will be arriving at any moment. But, in no particular order:

Harry Enfield - Association Football. ("Liverpool of the 90s playing - for the first time - in black and white!")

More Harry -

The Two Ronnie - Mastermind (Answering The Question Before Last)

I was quite surprised by something in Four Candles recently. I'd always assumed the genius of the sketch was that most of it was just Ronnie Barker standing there in the foreground looking gormless. Not so - Ronnie C plays a blinder.

Big Train -

Clive Anderson Talks Back - the classic episode where Peter Cook played all the guests, but especially this one -

ManStrokeWoman -

And, of course, Eric plays Grieg's Piano Concerto under the baton of Andrew Preview. One zinger after another. "Something wrong with the violins?"

Plus a dozen others, but my fish fingers have arrived.

Four Candles

Mastermind

Not The Nine O'Clock News - Constable Savage

I saw a deeply silly Spike Milligan sketch the other day on You Tube called "The Pakistani Daleks". I vaguely remember it from childhood. Why on earth the dalek has to be from Pakistan, wearing a rudimentary turban is beyond me.

A documentary on the Cock-A-Nee tribe..

'Did your eyes meet' thread but swiftly realised that no one would watch it there. And it's too funny to overlook, so...
