Best Harry Enfield and/or Paul Whitehouse sketches?

[Nice Relaxing Poo]

Mr Cholmondley-Warner and the 50s infomercials


"I will serve you, but I will not serve you. You are clearly underage"

"Children, Smoke and smoke Kilburns!"

[sick as a pike]

Bit weird to think I probably quoted you all throughout my school years, but now here you are on a forum where I could just call you a big nob.

It's what I would have wanted.

Nice one. On the youtube comments someone said it's based on a character Ian Mcshane played in an episode of Minder. Is that true or just youtube comment whimsy?

[Utter Shit]

Obvious one but I can't see it ignored: Perry coming back from Manchester. Although of course the joy of it is in Kathy Burke's performance.

News to me- unless Harry/Paul/Geoffrey thought he was similar, but not intended by us. I suspect speculative whimsy.

I take my non existent hat off to you sir. Fucking loved Big Bob Joylove


"I get ya, you get a new dress, he gets his winky back"

[jsgibble]

Or anything from the story of the two's, which you can watch here:

Indeed - Harry & Paul itself is an incredibly mixed bag even as sketch shows go, but that special is a work of art

Oh, I getcha.  You drive a hard bargain don'tcha?  I get to watch some top notch sketches, you get praise and *stuffs £50 note into pocket*.  I scratch your back, you scratch mine.

Top work, sick as a pike.

I wonder, what's the CaB perspectives on the 'Nelson Mandela' sketches from 'Harry & Paul'?  My memory of them is both pissing myself at the notion of Nelson Mandela selling Ecstasy Tablets (gets you proper muntered) or his Crack and Smack Party Pack, but also feeling the standard lefty liberal uncomfortableness around a middle aged white man doing blackface (albeit for obvious parody - and Enfield's political credentials were pretty solid, so it wasn't a 'Chalky White' thing).

One of the best TV comedy shows of the decade.  Top notch from start to finish.  The actor Kevin Eldon's take on Paul Jackson also cracked me up, alongside the nonstop excellence of Whitehouse & Enfield

[Norton Canes]

40,45 years and confectionery list are the ones I always think of but really there are too many. I should put pub/bookies in the 'Upsetting moments in otherwise not upsetting comedy' thread for its succinct yet poignant portrait of a life's mundanity.

[Jerzy Bondov]

Not best but I laughed so much at these American car salesman adverts. niney nine niney nine
Shame the sound is out of sync on the second sketch

[SteveDave]

Smashie & Nicey: End of an Era

Especially for the "How old are you m'darlin'?" that got cut out when it was last shown on the BBC.

[Twit 2]

Whitehouse does the best posh voices ever, doesn't he? Utterly joyous nuance and inflection.

[SteK]

When I was living in Denmark I showed my Danish mates the 'Miserabel' sketch, the Scand-noir one, and as Danish is recognised as sounding like Norwegian with a mouth full of biscuits, they found it hilarious...

Enfield at the end just mumbling is brilliant!

[non capisco]

The 'Only Me' sketch where he's arguing with Mark Williams in the cafe, specifically the bit right at the end when he runs back in and screeches one last "YOU DIDN'T WANT TO COME IN ON THE M25!"

[Glebe]

Any old Pathè parody public information film.

Women, know your limits.

Mr Cholmondley-Warner and the 50s infomercials

Yeah, the Cholmondley-Warner and vintage things are largely wonderful.

Smashie & Nicey: End of an Era

"Deptford Draylons! Alright?"

This was pretty funny. Arthur Atkinson doing a 1970s sex comedy.

Atkinson is one of my fave Whitehouse/Fast Show. "I feel light as a feather... I could take orf!"

The benefits family sketch in the car showroom. It's a fucking symphony.

Liverpool 1990 vs Arsenal black and white

[Norton Canes]

Every time my dad goes on about some DIY, we try to slip in the phrase 'four-bi-two-bi' 

[DrGreggles]

Liverpool 1990 vs Arsenal black and white

I still refer to any footballer dribbling impressively as "Charles 'Charlie' Charles".
And my friend Charlie.

[sick as a pike]

Liverpool 1990 vs Arsenal black and white

Not my sketch, but I was there for the filming, which I can Exclusively Reveal to nobody's interest that it was shot at Craven Cottage.

[Gurke and Hare]

Yeah, good sketchwriting sickasapike.


Not a full sketch, but there's a Self Righteous Brothers sketch in which just after Harry says "But, if [celebrity]...", before he gets the chance to imagine the celebrity misdeed Paul says "Oh no" in a way that's funnier than "Oh no" should ever be.

[Captain Z]

It's brilliant, I had to watch it again over the weekend again after this thread came up. I was disappointed to find that 'An Evening with Harry & Paul' is no longer online, does anyone have it?
