@dominicoreilly49476 жыл бұрын
That's a very interesting comment to which I'd reply that I agree that a state of perfection- as you term it- cannot exist in creative work because entertainment and comedy can't be measured in quantitative absolutes (this is as opposed to, say, a quiz where someone getting 10/10 would constitute a perfect score). I'd also say that words and the definitions of words mould themselves to different contexts and situations. As comedy is subjective, the word 'perfect' in this context is generally understood to reflect that fact- and saying 'one of the most perfect' is an acceptable alternative to 'one of the best imaginable'. In other words, since literal 'perfection' cannot exist in a creative work, if the word is used, its meaning is understood as the subjective equivalent of a 10/10, and it is churlish to claim that a statement whose meaning is universally understood is 'stupid'. And... wow, you must be even more of a hit at parties than me...

Every time some old coot at your table would sound off about how hard it was when he was a kid, he would be cut short with the cry of "Luxury!" in a Yorkshire accent by someone at the table and everyone would fly into a part of this skit or variations on it. "Lived in shoe box in middle of road...walk 55 miles through snow to mill...work 96 hours at mill for less than nothing a lifetime...etc." Whoever wrote this skit did the world a great, great service!

I saw TBT recording ISIHAC in Huddersfield just 4 weeks before he died and only a week or so before the coronavirus 'lockdown'. He was on top form as ever, and there was covid-19 banter among the panel of course. At the end of the recording the producer joked that he hoped that at "more than half of you" (meaning the audience) would survive in order to hear the broadcast. There was much laughter at that gallows humour. What a sad twist of fate.

Happy that I'm the 100th 'liker' for this comment :D
That's a very interesting comment to which I'd reply that I agree that a state of perfection- as you term it- cannot exist in creative work because entertainment and comedy can't be measured in quantitative absolutes (this is as opposed to, say, a quiz where someone getting 10/10 would constitute a perfect score). I'd also say that words and the definitions of words mould themselves to different contexts and situations. As comedy is subjective, the word 'perfect' in this context is generally understood to reflect that fact- and saying 'one of the most perfect' is an acceptable alternative to 'one of the best imaginable'. In other words, since literal 'perfection' cannot exist in a creative work, if the word is used, its meaning is understood as the subjective equivalent of a 10/10, and it is churlish to claim that a statement whose meaning is universally understood is 'stupid'. And... wow, you must be even more of a hit at parties than me...

True story..Our phone was bolted to the kitchen wall and Ma Bell would send her goons to the house to break our kneecaps if anyone fucked with it..or at least that's exactly what my dad told us would happen. We were too afraid to mess with Ma Bell's phones.. 😉
I actually had to crank a phone and talk to some bint who was to connect me to some unseen person. Not even a selfie!!
@@jamessweet5341 You were lucky! I would have loved to wind one of those little handles that made a tinkling noise. I never got a nice lady to say "number please" to me either. Bloody luxury!
They won't believe it
how my parents were too
When i was young i was so thin i had to put matchsticks in my ears to stop me falling down wormholes.
" I used to dream of living in a corridor " Funny stuff
My favourite comedic line of all time. Kills me to this day.
RIP Tim - I grew up watching you in your Union Jack waistcoat on the Goodies you are a legend in British comedy
Honestly, the best comedy sketch I’ve ever seen. Nothing comes close, makes me crack up every time
Pete and Did's one-legged man sketch and Two Ronnies Four Candles??
💯❤❤❤
@@pr4442 I'm quite fond of the Alan a Dale song too.
its unbelievable, I tuned into this decades later and I'm rolling over in laughter. This ages like a good red wine. What a gem.
Written by the four of 'em (maybe with input from Barry Crier who was the wine waiter in the original apparently). Broadcast in 1967 on the 'At Last the 1948 Show' I feel *old* .......... but stil amused
@@Farweasel you were amused we'd be happy to be amused
Like a Château de Chasselas?
Gross Bigotry Fake News comes close.
Red Wine!? We used to get punched in the face by local Bobby and drink our own nose bleeds, if we were lucky
Marty Feldman always makes me smile x
So it is him.
@British Comedy UK. Marty was really very talented, and I heard he was a nice guy too.
@@mikeoleary1723 only he could be him.
Luxury....The delivery of that line was absolutely on point. How he held his facial expression only God and himself know. The whole skit is genius.But that Entry line had me in pieces 😭😭😭
I still laugh when I hear the word used on it's own ike that in conversation, usually at the most inappropriate times... It's a genuine problem which has led to more than one awkward moment!
Crying laughing, the timing of …..”luxury”, kills me everytime
A Yorkshireman ... luxury we was only a Scotsman.
Irish was even worse.
A dead Scotsman.
Angus Podgorny!
Scotland! Glasgow that’s where rich Yorkshire people go on holiday
Marty Feldman was so incredibly funny. He had great delivery.
Delivery? He was spoiled. We used to have to fetch it ourselves, barefoot in three feet of snow!
@@johnhughes2653 😆
RIP Tim Brooke-Taylor one of Britain's finest and most overlooked comedy performers.
I didn't overlook him.
A Yorkshire man is actually a Scots man with every last drop of generosity squeezed out of him
😂😂😂 that's very clever
😅😂🤣
Not quite true. It’s well known that the strongest force in the known universe, is a Scotsman’s grip on a five pound note! 😂😂😂
@@petcatznz a five pound note me arce,a penny
Maybe it's a generation thing, but so many of my mates and I regularly manage to get into a re-enactment of this skit somewhere in a conversation,usually accompanied by much eye-rolling from the females present.
I'm a female and this humour is fantastic, a lot more of us girls love this type more than you know.👍😁
Females?! Luxury! We could only DREAM of meeting females, and we could only do that once a month when we were allowed one hour a month to sleep! So, females really have eyes?
@Agent Fungus yeah, keep up with the good work. There is also an amazing "kids" show in UK called " Horrible Histories " series 1 to 5 is the best as it had the best cast, (where as the continuing show is good , but without this original cast it doesn't work as well.) This amazing cast has Python humour all over, really funny, fascinating facts, clever songs, Monty Python the next generation. You can check the sketches on KZhead. You and Your younger friends won't be disappointed. 😂😂😂
@@Salena905 Horrible Histories is brilliant!
@@oabuseer yay! Another fan 😄👍
Barry Cryer, the actual Yorkshireman pouring the drinks, died this week. Only John Cleese is now left. The only other person in this who came from anywhere near the North was Tim Brooke Taylor, who was from Buxton.
It's like my granddad's come back to life!
neer went away ! agnes x
You had a grandad?? Luxury.
RIP Tim, a sad day for us all who grew up watching the Goodies.
Definition of a Yorkshireman is a Scotsman stripped of his generosity
A born and bred Bradford lad. Love the definition
'Ear all, see all, say nowt; Eat all, sup all, pay nowt; And if ivver tha does owt fer nowt - Allus do it fer thissen
I love the subtle fourth-wall-breakage before the last one when John Cleese says "Right..."
The getting up in the morning, at half past 10 always gets me🤣🤣
This is 2022, and the Four Yorkshiremen are still as relevant as ever.
As of January 2022, even the waiter Barry Cryer has gone to join the choir invisible, and only John Cleese remains.
Every time some old coot at your table would sound off about how hard it was when he was a kid, he would be cut short with the cry of "Luxury!" in a Yorkshire accent by someone at the table and everyone would fly into a part of this skit or variations on it. "Lived in shoe box in middle of road...walk 55 miles through snow to mill...work 96 hours at mill for less than nothing a lifetime...etc." Whoever wrote this skit did the world a great, great service!
Barry Cryer (the waiter in this sketch) passed away yesterday (27.1.22). He was a much loved comedy writer and performer. It's so very sad. So many of these wonderful people are leaving us but I hope that Graham, Tim and Marty were there to greet him with a glass of Chateau de Chasselas.
I'm in my later 50's now so I have become those guys🤣. Saw John Cleese on stage a week or so ago, totally worth it. Funniest man alive!
Not funny in real life....I
They were lucky. When I was a kid, the only "social media" we had was two soiled dixie cups and a frayed length of thrice-used dental floss...
Dental floss??? You had dental floss??? I had to use my own toenail clippings!!!
@@fishyc150 - You had toenail clippings??? Paradise... We didn't have toes...
@@wrekkingcru I say toe nail clippings... We didn't even have feet let alone toes. it was really the scabs off our amputated leg stumps... But we used to pretend!
Actually sounds better than social media
Aye, and we were glad of it!!!
RIP Barry Cryer - a great comedian who goes by almost unnoticed as the waiter.
Well spotted!
A work of pure comedic genius. Cleese is last man standing. RIP Tim
“We used to get up early in morning, at half past ten at night half an hour before we’d gone to bed”
😂😂
Not sure if I like Graham Chapman saying “luxury“ or John Cleese saying “right.” Each of those single words delivers so much. I think I like this version of the skit more than the one I have seen hundreds of times from “live at the Hollywood bowl.“ It is brilliant.
I still quote this sketch all the time!😂💜
Same, if I'm getting told off at home for some minor wrongdoing I normally say, "Let's not worry about who killed who".
I knew Tim from the Goodies was doing comedy theatre around the same time as the Pythons but had no idea he was part of this classic sketch.... this is awesome!!!
And he cowrote it.
As far as I understand the sketch was originally created by Tim and Marty. It just shows the wealth of comedy talent at the time, and the power of television!
Thanks for sharing all this info, I too remember Tim from The Goodies, he was the funniest by far out of the 3. And Marty was really funny too, this humour is so silly and clever at the same time. 😁👏
@@andreaduncan1042 It is credited to all four.
@@TryptychUK It's almost word for word a copy of a sketch by Stephen Leacock written many years before.
We were so poor that we could only afford one bed. With so many kids in the family I made a point of coming home late to sleep on top of the pile.
Luxury! We would have given anything to have a pile!
@@brianarbenz7206 Hope that's not haemorrhoids?
@@johneagle1855 hemorrhoids? You were lucky. We were so poor we could barely afford Preparation A.
Brings tears to my eyes every time! Perfection. (Try to top that!)
I saw TBT recording ISIHAC in Huddersfield just 4 weeks before he died and only a week or so before the coronavirus 'lockdown'. He was on top form as ever, and there was covid-19 banter among the panel of course. At the end of the recording the producer joked that he hoped that at "more than half of you" (meaning the audience) would survive in order to hear the broadcast. There was much laughter at that gallows humour. What a sad twist of fate.
Living in North Wales when I was a kid, with 16 brothers and sisters, my mum used to feed us all at meal times with A CATAPULT. ! Real hard times. 😉
As a Yorkshirefolk I still meet people like this now. Made me laugh though.
As a middle aged Yorkshireman, I am trying hard not to turn out like this! Such an easy trap to fall into; such a cleverly written sketch!
As a middle aged Yorkshireman, I am making it my life mission to turn out like this! ;-)
You were lucky, you could have been born in Lancashire!
@Repeat After Me: Scarborough's a lot safer now savile's dead I'll bet
@@portcullis5622 dont be ashamed of where you come from! and if tha does owt fo nowt! do it fo the sen!.
Fabulous when Cleese gets ready to deliver the absolute worst: "Right!....."
That's nowt! One time, my WiFi went off fur two hours!!
Wonder how many people notice that british comedy legend Barry Cryer plays the wine waiter at the start of the sketch.
The only real Yorkshireman in the sketch!
@@postscript67 Who cares? When I was young, no one could afford to own a Yorkshireman. At thruppence apiece that was out of our price range of half a farthing and a rotting dog turd.
I think I heard him say this was his TV debut ,,,almost 99% sure ,
A sketch that is true comedy genius and not widely known that tim brooke taylor - who very sadly passed away today - co-wrote it
😢RIP Tim Brook-Taylor..... A comic genius taken from us too soon! British comedy today is nowhere NEAR as funny as it was back then....😢
Jesus Christ it's like being in my local pub
Pub? You are lucky. We are drinking in the middle of the road from rolled up newspapers.
@Deb Deb When I say a newspaper, I really mean a tattered ragged remains of a 1841 Times with holes and rat shit all over it. But to US it was a NEWSPAPER.
Wetherspoons?
Why do you have to blaspheme?
@Who is doing this. "the"??
Haven’t seen this for years brilliant ,my old mum was from Yorkshire she was always telling me as a kid “you don’t know your born “.
Sounds like Arkwright to me.
So did ya mum still think she was pregnant ?????
When we loose people like TBT, they take a little piece of us with them or at the very least a piece of our childhood... and we feel it.
I love the moment at 2'37, just after Tim says "Paradise". He's trying really hard not to crack up.
2:36
Many years ago in Australia i met an American chap who talked endlessly about this sketch. He'd only heard it once and couldn't find a copy of it in the USA. I sent him one when I got home to NZ. He reported that he played the cassette in his car and had had to stop his vehicle for fear of running off the road laughing.
I grew up in Yorkshire and I can attest this was my childhood. "Luxury!" :D
Came here for t'video, ended up reading all t'comments instead.
When I were kid our ouse were so small ye ad to go outside to change yer mind ........
Yer lucky! I never had a mind!
“We were so poor we couldn’t afford malnutrition “
i love this sketch so much
1 of the funniest sketches of all time simply sublime 👏😂
The great Tim Brook-Taylor, John Cleese, Graham Chapman and Marty Feldman.
In Australia, in 2023, we still do variations on this sketch anytime anyone tries to glorify their tough childhood.
Thanks for putting this in my feed. I thought it was Marty!
Absolute genius... Comedy GOLD if there were such a thing!!!
This lot have lived like kings l tell you.
This sketch is one of the few absolutely perfect things in creation. I didn't know this was the original! I feel almost blasphemous!
Count your blessings! We could never afford a deity to blaspheme!
@@redstep-child3096 deity? You were lucky. All we had to look forward to was death and a nonexistence underground...if we were lucky. We might end up in an urn.
The 4 Yorkshiremen of the Apocalypse
I was one of the lucky ones --- I lived in a corridor.
Lived? I lay dead Under the floorboards for forty years ayebyegummelad🙄
I lived in a corridor so thin I had to sleep standing up
I was luckier I guess. My family had a room.
I used to live in a hole...in a hole that was filled with nitric acid & broken glass & we were thrashed to sleep every night & had to eat barbed wire,razor blades & a cup of cold sick for breakfast!!...Still,...we were happy!
@@iancannon2825 Not surprised you were 'appy, living in such luxury. We used to dream of such conditions.
You lucky, lucky bastard. I lay awake at night DREAMIN of being spat upon!
They only hung me rightside up yesterday!
Youoo lucky lucky bastard I remember that from life of Brian when that bloke was upside down. Brilliant comedy
Nice one Centurion. Like it, like it.
nail 'im up, i say! NAIL SOME SENSE INTO 'IM!
@Darren McGovern Luxury. We never got anything moist as kids.
I’m from Yorkshire and love this sketch as a 31 year old “I had to work 39 hour a day” 😂
All four of these men are legend's of my time and the saddest thing is John Cleese is the only one left. 😢 thanks for all the laughs guys, to me you are all National Treasures.
