One of my very favourite sketches ever, not just because of how funny and accurate it is, but also because it smashes into tiny pieces the omerta whereby British comedians are only supposed to mock one another in gentle, non-damaging ways. It's clear Enfield and Whitehouse have sincere contempt for many of the comics, shows and tropes skewered here, and in the context of the usual showbiz all-mates-together chumminess, it's genuinely refreshing. Worth comparing this to Not the Nine O'Clock News's similarly devastating "Two Ninnies" spoof of the Two Ronnies.
Also Peter Serafinowicz Show and an appearance in the IT Crowd (dinner party episode, shags Noel Fielding's character), among other things. She's great 👍
Yea and Finally a Harry Enfield sketch that is actually funny today because their are so few of them.. Although I did enjoy Harry and Paul’s one off they did about the history of BBC2
I literally cannot breath, this is so accurate and funny!!! Ian Hislop was so fucking funny, the way he taps his pen and leans back with his double chin lol
Hahahaha actually crying with laughter at his Hislop impression! The way he taps the pen on the desk and looks away while smiling! ROFL! And Merton "Is it a dolphin a bathtub?"
Listen to all those featured in this then come back to it. You'll find that actually with the exception of Noel Fielding (who anyone can do a reasonable impression of) they were all shit.
haha, as a fan of HIGNFY this is soo spot on, love the Paul Merton with his repeated, surreal yet totally unrelated joke. And Harry Enfield's Ian Hislop - exactly like the real thing! ;-)
The full show was called something like the "Terrible Twos" and it was a one-off special Harry and Paul were asked to make for the 50th anniversary of BBC2 back in 2014, I think. It had a lot of great stuff like a parody of one of those Scandinavian detective shows BBC2 always shows and a fake history of the channel. It is arguably one of the best things the two have done as every sketch was brilliant.
‘Harry & Paul’s Story Of The Two’s’ ☺️ I’d love them to do another special, with a theme that ties all the sketches together. This one trounced their TV series
Yeah what the fuck happened to Boyle. Gone from shockingly cruel (and therefore somewhat funny) to pious wokemaster in the space of a few years. Utterly tedious now
I think it's more than just the voice they couldn't get right, they could have easily done a pisstake of his "angry logic" kind of rants but for whatever reason (seemingly) opted for not going that hard on him
Even after all these years, those 'panelists' are still doing the rounds today on these quiz shows on Dave. There's a whole load of comedians whose only role in life is to appear on quiz shows.
Panel shows are way to passé now, and have for a very long time. There was a pint where I used to watch every single one, and then they just got stale and oversaturated. Plus everyone I see one recently pretty much everyone on the panel looks tired and doesn’t want to be there
Harry and Paul's BBC2 tribute was a brilliant bit of satire. This sketch is brilliant because it highlighted the clichés of people on panel shows endlessly attacking the same targets (Daily Mail, Widdecombe etc) in front of a supportive audience, as if they were being brave and edgy. Especially as many of the people they parodied would have been their friends, Hislop co-created Tim nice but dim for Harry 😁
Eh, the Daily Mail and Widdecombe etc continually make themselves a target by repeatedly doing stupid things. Not the comedian's fault that it's there to be made fun of.
Completely relevant. I'm surprised no-one has taken the piss out of these awful panel shows before to my knowledge. Although QI I quite like. The Sarah Millican contributions are pretty accurate too
I used to like some of them and I can still watch QI or HIGNFY occasionally but really it's just cheap TV. Celebrity Juice is trying to be so bad-its good but really it's just terrible
I don't know - there's some shite panel shows out there, and even the half-decent ones always seem to outstay their welcome by going on way too long. OTOH, two of my favourite comedies on TV are WILTY and Cats Does Countdown. Both consistently brilliant. They're popular because: a. they're cheap, and b. they're often great fun.
Back in about 2008/2009, the only TV I watched was Dave after 9pm. Repeats of panel shows were the only thing that kept me halfheartedly turning the television on. I feel like if I'd discovered ketamine at that point in my life, this is what I would have envisioned.
@@richardduplessis1090 no, not based on one show. based on have i got news for you, mock the week, and QI. just because the studio looks vaguely more like the have i got news for you studia than the mock the week one doesnt mean its the have i got news for you parody
So bang on its incredible, even after all the years. Difficult to think about how you could improve on it - either thats tribute to Harry & Paul's ingenuity or testament to the risibly predictable cliches of these panel shows circling the drain year after year.

There are way too many but in defense of we British I think we're finally beginning to see that, for example David Mitchell has hosted 3 or 4 panels shows that lasted 1 series because people are a bit sick of him.
They should do another one of these. If you ask me Lucy Beaumont, Jon Richardson, Sara Pascoe, James Acaster, Katherine Ryan and Jimmy Carr are all more or less asking to have the shit ripped out of them.
Got Paul Merton spot on. He comes up with bizarre statements that are so unfunny. I think that Dolphin reference is a dig at his ill fated comedy sketch show on Channel 4
