Not one of Victoria Wood’s best sketches (she was the taller lady on the left) but stick with her, as there is better material to come from her. My favourite all time sketch of hers was the one where Julie Walters (the lady on the right) played an old restaurant server, bringing soup to two customers. First time I ever saw it, I had tears rolling down my cheeks, it was that funny! Won’t spoil what she did that made me laugh so much but suffice to say that Julie Walters is a superb comedy actress (she’s done serious roles too) and she was recently in the two Paddington movies playing the Brown’s Scottish housekeeper.
Well said Nick, I think you explained it well there. No-one is going to enjoy or even understand every comedy in the world. We all have personal tastes and references that other people won't, I think people that comment like that, just don't look at it from another person's point of view. They are being totally blinkered and a little judgemental. Whilst everyone can learn new things and broaden their knowledge and cultural experiences, you guys have to put your own genuine reactions on here, otherwise it would stop being your reaction channel and a channel that parrots other peoples views and wishes. Keep up the good work, enjoying seeing you both and I think all you can do when you see a negative comment is give it a little thought as to whether it holds any genuine weight or merit, if you are able to have a good counter point in your head, (like the one you just explained in the video) then just dismiss/forget the comment and happily carry on with your day 🎉😊.
Don't feel bad about not picking up on all the references. I bet a lot younger people in the UK don't understand most of this. Love to you both as always ❤❤
I doubt it. 'Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep' was just a usual, crap novelty song, 'Take the High Road' was an overwhelmingly depressing Scottish sitcom which was cited as a main reason suicide increased in Perth during its transmission.
Tbf to you both. This was a old sketch and some of the joke tags would be over the heads of many younger Brits, too. Victoria Wood was a national treasure, and much of her writing was and is sheer genius.
Victoria was a national treasure and passed too young. If you ever get the chance, she wrote and appeared in a 2 series sitcom set in a canteen. Brilliant family comedy
I agree why would you understand some of the cultural references. There’s some I would t understand in American comedy. This wasn’t the best sketch of hers though to be honest ❤my fave is when she plays a step instructor it’s silly and fun
I see suggestions of all sorts of British comedy that depend completely on both cultural and historical references that are hilarious if you know them but meaningless if you don't. People need to think more of how many references will be meaningless to non-Brits and suggest accordingly (not to mention the unlikelihood of following regional accents). However, always fun to watch your reactions.
They were good in Acorn Antiques and Dinner Ladies. Victoria Woods was great in her Aerobics, Ballad of Barry and Freda sketches and a fantastic pianoist. The Dancing On Ice, with Torvill and Dean, video clip is funny. Such great observational comedy and a great comedic talent. She also played some dramic parts and it would have been interesting to see her in more parts like that before she died. Julie Walters is great at comedy and has also made both comedic and dramatic movies and tv series.
Victoria Wood was a comedy miner. She'd discovered a rich vein of humour in the emergent feminism of that era. She liked to depict a guilty transition between parochial 'traditional' women trying to emerge into the arena of 'liberation' - of opinion, sexuality and independent expression. The traditional woman didn't have to think, hold an opinion, harbour sexuality or foster ambition. it was EASY! Suddenly, women were expected to be 'liberated' and they then had to acquire all these things. Being a stand alone, independent person _isn't_ easy, and Victoria Wood marvelously pokes fun at these earnest but banal attempts at opinions, the clumsy sexuality, and the ofttimes misdirected ambitions of neo-liberated women. It's very subtle, and NO-ONE does it better than Victoria Wood ..ably abetted by Julie Walters of course!
Victoria Wood in the blue was a writer, actress comedian she was a legend. She was with Julie Walters in this sketch!Julie Walters was with Victoria Wood in many sketches. The Victoria Wood as the Keep Fit Instructor is hilarious!
In the very early 80s many considered them a double act when their show "Wood and Walters" aired. If I recall, it used to be on at about 9pm on Sunday nights.
I'm in the UK and a lot of it went over my head - mostly because it was delivered in a thick Birmingham accent. Victoria Wood (on the left) was a very funny and talented woman. Julie Walters (on the right, and now Dame Julie Walters) still is, and is a national treasure. She is best known internationally for her role as Mrs Weasley in the Harry Potter movies.
Victoria Wood is a British icon. May she rest in peace. She past away from cancer. Please review her stand up. An audience with Victoria Wood is epic. She's also responsible for bringing Julie Walters into the spotlight ( who was in the clip there). Youll know her as Mrs Weasley in Harry Potter. Victoria was known for using the same cast of actors repeatedly in her sketches. She later did a fantastic sitcom called Dinner ladies.
Wood & Walters is a female double act of scene based comedy sketches somewhere in the 80s and 90s. Julia Walters went into acting and is a BAFTA, EMMY and Golden Globe award winner, you probably know her from Harry Potter as Molly Weasley. Victoria Wood took to the piano for comical short musical pieces as I recall.
Victoria Wood was deeply, deeply observational, a lot of the things that made the audience laugh were wry twists on things they were very familiar with. She's enormously beloved for that, but this was a very mild and dry example of her. Cultural references like "having to know when Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep was in the UK charts" might be obvious when you think about it and go "she clearly means it was in the past" but as soon as that layer of thought gets in the way, it's no longer a punchline - and to be a little disrespectful, wasn't exactly a strong one. Her sketches for Patricia Routledge's "Kitty" remain some of my favourites, she was an icon.
Vic was a legend bless her. I understand why this particular sketch was difficult to follow for you guys though, it's very colloquial and even regional for the UK! I'd definitely give her another go though with 'The Ballad of Barry and Freda' and the 'Two Soups' sketch. The full version (5.41) of that not on TH-cam but it is on Facebook and TikTok I think!
Well said Nick, it is nothing to do with different humour just references. Most youngsters in the UK would not get the "chirpy chirpy cheep cheep" reference now (it was a hit song in 1971 by a band called Middle of the Road), so a hint to the affair having been going on for some time.
Some of the humour is in the OTT Birmingham accents, which considering that Julia Walters is from Birmingham and really speaks like that were played for laughs, just as they are in Peaky Blinders.
Dinner ladies by Victoria wood is an excellent comedy the other actress is Julie Walters a very famous actress ,Ron's mum in Harry Potter and also from mama Mia
Victoria Wood is more the intellectual comedian and very much the middle aged teacher type comedian...whose comedy is very cerebal and a bit goofy and innocent that a lot like x
I once bumped into Victoria Wood in the Tourist Information Centre in Guernsey. She was there with her two daughters. I wondered whether Guernsey was a regular holiday destination for her, and whether that might have been the reason for "I fell off a diving board in Guernsey"!
I completely agree with your assessment of this sketch. I am a Brit and I found it hard to follow, because they spoke quickly, with a Birmingham accent. I almost felt that I needed an interpreter.
Back in the day we had hardcore comedians like Roy "Chubby" Brown, Bernard Manning, even Les Dawson. The reason you haven't heard of them is they were not allowed on TV so they did the club scene around the UK and holiday resorts... Being female and very tame in their innuendo Mary Whitehouse - the founder of the Clean-up TV Campaign in 1964, National Viewers’ and Listeners’ Association (NVALA) 1965, from the 1960-1980s she influence UK TV. Well she left them alone.
Les Dawson had his own tv show, Bernard Manning appeared on The Wheel Tappers and Shunters Club tv show on a regular basis, he was on The Comedians tv show as well. Chubby Brown is just not funny, unless you find continual swearing amusing, he doesn't appeal to a large enough audience to be on tv
@4Kandlez The Wheel Tapers and Shunters Club ended in 1977 and Bernard was heavily censored even then. A lot of the comedian back then had a stint on TV. Didn't Les Dawson present "Blankety Blank" before or after Terry Wogan? Your comments about "Chubby" Brown just shows you don't understand the point. You're thinking like Mary Whitehouse, if you don't like it, it shouldn't be allowed on TV. I fail to see the point you're trying to make?
You should check out her parody of cheap daytime soaps ' Acorn Antiques' which was the best part of her show. Based on an old 1970's UK soap called Crossroads, Acorn Antiques is a hilarious spoof with deliberate errors, fluffed lines, bad editing and continuity.
Victoria Wood, although I think she was a good comedienne (she died in 2016 at the age of 62), her comedy was unique and sometimes takes a bit of getting used to. I think her best skit was the song 'The Ballad of Barry and Freda' and although again there might be some references you don't get I think you might enjoy that better.
An understandable reaction . Victoria was ground breaking , she had some great songs and jokes very much of the time , but her humour was from a woman's point of view . Julie Walters was in many of her sketches and Educating Rita with Michael Came . I wasn't a big fan but she was popular and was taken from us far too early .
Americans trying to watch UK comics who are so specifically 'British' is never going to work!! It's like intelligent Brits being shown videos of Jerry Lewis, and trying to work out when the 'funny' is going to happen!! 🤣🤣🤣
Victoria Wood was known for very specific British cultural references, it's nothing to do with Americans not getting British humour. Her humour is very class-based, and even some British people won't get the references, especially the younger generation.
Its quite understandable that you may not "get," a lot of young people in the uk probably wouldn't either as they are often older sketches. Much of the comedy from back then wouldn't be considered politically correct these days either. Btw, i love your reactions
I don't understand why someone recommended this one. You'd have to be familiar with the north of England and its culture to get most of it, and as someone else said, a lot of younger people from the area wouldn't understand it either.
I got the jokes and understand the context but it isn't that funny in 2024 it feels outdated. Victoria Wood does amazing stuff and this isn't one of them.
Don't worry, this wasn't funny even if you understood the references, this was a bad example. Victoria Wood was a very talented comedian and she had some very popular tv series, try an episode of Dinnerladies or Acorn Antiques
Victoria Wood made a lot references to very mundane aspects of British life. Not unlike Peter Kay... or Michael McIntyre - except funnier. Explaining them wouldn't make it funny. I think you'd get & enjoy "Educating Rita" though. The Film that really launched Julie Walters, co-starring with Michael Caine.
Nothing to do with Victoria Wood, but here's something short that you'll enjoy: Hugh Laurie singing Hey Jude th-cam.com/video/qy_nU8RGWKA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LdVvuU9lTPpTlwI7
Why so defensive? There are so many good reasons for your not getting this particular scene. There were plenty of British allusions that many would miss. You should look for some Victoria Wood classics and you would not have any difficulty understanding why she is a national treasure.
like the betamax, was alright at the time but seems really dated and a bit naff nowadays... sometimes things from the past should be left there, people look back with rose tinted glasses on and think stuff like this was the funniest thing ever when it wasn't and still isn't
Not her best sketch for you to start with. It's very Brit centric. Try Two Soups or the Sauna sketch. Or the shoe shop sketch. Or Acorn Antiques skits. Victoria Wood was a triple threat she wrote, performed and sang all her own material which at the time was unheard of. Lost far too soon.
It's a very poor video. They are actually a lot funnier than that. They are though an acquired taste..., other than Dinnerladies sitcom, one I don't get..
NO it didn't go over your head, it just wasn't funny and that's from a brit that loved victoria wood RIP. Also not true about American comedy not being funny, personally I love "Married with Children, Roseanne and the Big Bang theory. Also one I can never remember the name of where a miserable bloke is always going into a cafe think it's called either Becker or Dexter.You will need to correct me if you know the comedy.
Unfortunately, contrary to the national treasure stuff, lots of people don’t and didn’t particularly like Victoria Wood’s humour. In other words she really wasn’t very funny
Well Nick I got just the perfect Beatle song for you and Gabe to celebrate Trump's win with --- Tomorrow Never Knows ! (And yes it's Psychedelic too). 😹🌈🎡🏁👁️!
The famous song "The Ballad of Barry and Freda" or "Let's Do It" taken from An Audience With Victoria Wood in 1988. - Your be Humming along too
Two soups!
YES!!!
Definitely yes
Oh Two soups is a must 👍
Not one of Victoria Wood’s best sketches (she was the taller lady on the left) but stick with her, as there is better material to come from her.

She was in the 2 Mamma Mia movies. She is a brilliant actress and comedian.
Might be tricky to find a good clip of that sketch. The best I could find was only 3 mins and cut off probably half of it.
Great video 👍 These two actors and comedians are top class and have a massive catalogue of material worth watching.😊
Such a shame Victoria died way too early.😢
@lynnelang3184 truly a much missed talent of social observation

I was as surprised when I saw you reacting to this as you did to on the buses,it’s very British, and I love it
Victoria was a national treasure and passed too young. If you ever get the chance, she wrote and appeared in a 2 series sitcom set in a canteen. Brilliant family comedy
Also acorn antiques.yes miss babbs😂
Didnt realise she was dead.

Victoria Woods aerobics is hilarious and so relatable 😂
You absolutely must react to Victoria wood - Lets do it. It's one of the best comedy songs of all time, but barely known outside the uk
You really have to watch Victoria performing Let’s do it! It’s hilarious 😂
I would recommend you to check out Barry and Freda by Victoria Wood ❤😊
Julie Walter's fantastic
Agree. Excellent actress.
I wouldn't have said was the best of Victoria, she is absolutely hilarious 😂❤

I'm UK as well and I think it's not just the accent makes it awkward to catch, it's also the speed of the delivery too. 😬😬
You have to do the ballad of Barry and Freida. Hilarious😂

You should watch more of Victoria Wood as she was fantastic and did some really great songs.
Check out 'Dinner Ladies' which she wrote and starred in.

A lot is cultural references and with the age of the clip even just the older ones of us would get it
Julie Walters in the "soup sketch" you will fully understand as it is very visual.
You should check out her parody of cheap daytime soaps ' Acorn Antiques' which was the best part of her show. Based on an old 1970's UK soap called Crossroads, Acorn Antiques is a hilarious spoof with deliberate errors, fluffed lines, bad editing and continuity.
Hi I did recommend Victoria Wood but not this one 😂
You'll have to watch the 'two soups sketch'.
Try a carry on film…that would be interesting 😂
Victoria Wood, although I think she was a good comedienne (she died in 2016 at the age of 62), her comedy was unique and sometimes takes a bit of getting used to.

Americans trying to watch UK comics who are so specifically 'British' is never going to work!!
It's like intelligent Brits being shown videos of Jerry Lewis, and trying to work out when the 'funny' is going to happen!! 🤣🤣🤣
May I suggest you view 'Two Soups' with Julie Walters. Soooo funny 😂
They were using a Birmingham accent, and you need to understand "Brummie" to get it :)
Victoria Wood was known for very specific British cultural references, it's nothing to do with Americans not getting British humour. Her humour is very class-based, and even some British people won't get the references, especially the younger generation.
Two Soups!
Hello. Remember madras cafe 2013

Just iggie the haters! I love comedy from all over the world! if it can make me smile, I'M HAPPY! :D
Sometimes the references are local to the U.K. plus being said with a Birmingham accent its no wonder you did not understand all.
If you like Victoria watch her series "Dinner Ladies".
I got the jokes and understand the context but it isn't that funny in 2024 it feels outdated. Victoria Wood does amazing stuff and this isn't one of them.
There's a lot of niche jokes here, and its 40 years old plus they do speak very fast.
Sorry to you both not the best example I apologise to you both take care
I can understand you missing some of the humour but not spotting Julie Walters. Wow!!
I guess Americans just don't get British comedy..Like this comment..🤣
Do Frankie Boyle audience annihilation
Don't worry, this wasn't funny even if you understood the references, this was a bad example. Victoria Wood was a very talented comedian and she had some very popular tv series, try an episode of Dinnerladies or Acorn Antiques
Not one of her best by any means. Look up Victoria Wood, the ballad of Barry and Frida
Victoria Wood made a lot references to very mundane aspects of British life. Not unlike Peter Kay... or Michael McIntyre - except funnier.
Explaining them wouldn't make it funny.
I think you'd get & enjoy "Educating Rita" though. The Film that really launched Julie Walters, co-starring with Michael Caine.
America has fallen 😢
Plz react to song "manasula soora kaathey"
Sugar free sugar
To be fair nick, it wasn't for me and I'm from the UK, Victoria wood has a lot better material available.
Nothing to do with Victoria Wood, but here's something short that you'll enjoy: Hugh Laurie singing Hey Jude

" We don't live in a third world country" are you being serious?
How about your cup off coffee?
I did recommend Victoria Wood but not this drivel
Why so defensive? There are so many good reasons for your not getting this particular scene. There were plenty of British allusions that many would miss. You should look for some Victoria Wood classics and you would not have any difficulty understanding why she is a national treasure.
Do Victoria woods 'two soups'. and Americans do have a different sense of humour
We all laugh at funny things. Ignore the Morons.
like the betamax, was alright at the time but seems really dated and a bit naff nowadays... sometimes things from the past should be left there, people look back with rose tinted glasses on and think stuff like this was the funniest thing ever when it wasn't and still isn't
oooh triggered.
What the hell is happening to your Country? Who are the good honest decent people voting for?
Not her best sketch for you to start with. It's very Brit centric. Try Two Soups or the Sauna sketch. Or the shoe shop sketch. Or Acorn Antiques skits. Victoria Wood was a triple threat she wrote, performed and sang all her own material which at the time was unheard of. Lost far too soon.
It's a very poor video. They are actually a lot funnier than that. They are though an acquired taste..., other than Dinnerladies sitcom, one I don't get..
Brummy accent might not help
NO it didn't go over your head, it just wasn't funny and that's from a brit that loved victoria wood RIP. Also not true about American comedy not being funny, personally I love "Married with Children, Roseanne and the Big Bang theory. Also one I can never remember the name of where a miserable bloke is always going into a cafe think it's called either Becker or Dexter.You will need to correct me if you know the comedy.
Not one of her best
probably the least funny sketch I've seen from these two.
Unfortunately, contrary to the national treasure stuff, lots of people don’t and didn’t particularly like Victoria Wood’s humour. In other words she really wasn’t very funny
Well Nick I got just the perfect Beatle song for you and Gabe to celebrate Trump's win with --- Tomorrow Never Knows ! (And yes it's Psychedelic too). 😹🌈🎡🏁👁️!
