Steve had sex with him because he asked him to, probably just thought all the gay sex was like ultra rich man masterbaition that he agreed to do In the butler contract
Sits next to me in the drawing room without so much as a by your leave, looks at me with needy betrayed eyes. Developed a drinking problem about fifteen years ago.
Surprised that David didn't recognise that Rob's character isn't a butler at all, but a valet. A butler is in charge of a number of servants in a household, whereas this guy is doing all the menial tasks.
I mean….maybe if this was the early 20th century but in the modern usage a butler is just a servant. Almost no one has a valet if they do have domestic staff. Also nowadays the head of a domestic staff is just a house manager.
More likely he gave him access to his accounts because he thought they were having shared finances, and the butler took it as another one of his duties.
@rollthetape88 Yes, we all see it coming; but the punchline where says something along the lines of "I suppose a bunch of flowers is in order" is the whole point of the sketch. It's the pay-off, and we've earned it.
one problem with this sketch is, if he thinks that his butler is his partner, then unless his wife pays Steve, then the lord of the house isn't paying steve, therefore why is Steve still working for him
No I meant that would be a crude, as in blunt and unsubtle joke, that ruined the actual joke here. The joke being that he's thought his butler has been in a relationship with him for 40 years and only just found out he's wrong. If they've been having sex then there is no joke. Unless you just find buttsex funny.
nothing to do with you, this clip is missing 20 seconds of the sketch at the end ... a real bad job from the uploader there. YOu will find the full version easily.
An hour? You do know there's a small clean water spewing tube in your toilet? Takes maybe ten minutes, and that's if you do it twice. What on earth are you doing for the other fifty minutes?
The stat I read was around 60% gay couples and around 25% hetero couples, which sounds a lot more realistic than equal. Of course 60% is much lower than most homophobic people think (which is 100%), so it's a useful thing to point out - but also irrelevant, since distasteful as it may be to someone else, there is nothing morally wrong with any kind of sex between consenting adults...
“There is nothing morally wrong with any kind of sex between consenting adults” As that is a matter of opinion, let us hope you do not advance that type of thinking in argumentation.
Wow, actually speechless at this...you do know that butler is a job title right? Adding a T so its "lol butt-ler, get it?" is possibly the most bizarrely immature thing anyone could ever take from this sketch...and to top it off, you insult someone for not sharing your warped sense of comedy. If you're not 12 or younger, I seriously worry for your mental well-being.
After 40 years in a relationship that has been one huge misunderstanding, the sex must've been really weird and awkward.
Presumably he just thinks he's been having a secret affair with the maid.
It is in a lot of relationships.
just like any relationship after 40 years,. there is no sex lol
Steve had sex with him because he asked him to, probably just thought all the gay sex was like ultra rich man masterbaition that he agreed to do In the butler contract
Lol and the wife in the other room drinking
Oh, the pain of being butler-zoned.
More like, the pain of being maid-zoned. At least Steve got paid for 40 years.
B: that's Lady Sybil... your wife.
L: Oh, I guess perhaps an apology is in order. Best send around a bunch of Flowers.
B: Very good sir.
Sits next to me in the drawing room without so much as a by your leave, looks at me with needy betrayed eyes. Developed a drinking problem about fifteen years ago.
no sir, that would be your wife
Alas, that so called ‘pilgrim’ still developed a rotational ineptitude to the downward spiral of infinity.
We've all been there.
I think it's actually funnier with it cut off there; sometimes jokes are better if they're not explained in detail.
agreeedddd
@@LukePalmer The house maid was probably his wife, if you must know.
@@wyskass861Everyone knows that, which is why it’s funnier than just the Butler. Jokes are always funnier when unexplained.
Cut off at the most perfect moment... Brilliant XD
Stopping just shy of the punchline made this infinitely more funny
I'm pretty sure the house maid was the butlers wife which the butler probably didn't realize.. lol
@@wyskass861 fookin el. we are doomed
If you thought this was a relationship, you were nowhere near doing your part. Brilliant.
stop getting Mitchell and Webb wrong!
I was CERTAIN there was going to be a "But what about all the sex we've been having?" in there somewhere.
That's why he wasn't doing his part
"I thought we were going out" hahaha
I think it was quite funny having it cut off on David's surprised expression!
Webb's acting is excellent
The glass cabinet beside the bed is hilarious
For various reasons I can't shake off the idea that this actually happened to Stephen Fry...
That is devilishly funny.
Sir is such an affectionate pet name
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Orange.
Orange who?
*exhales sharply* *video ends*
Well played, uploader. Well played.
orange you glad the video ended on a high note?
athox Well played.
I like how the "Dream Wife" sketch is next on my Watch List. XD
I'm going to call my husband 'Buttypops'.
Ex-husband?
@@imaweerascal That´s what I was about to ask.
It doesn't really make sense to do so unless he is a butler or acts as your personal servant.
BOSS ZONED!
Honestly, if it's taken 40 years for the Butler to realise what's going on, he can't be that attentive. So probably not a good Butler.
cannot express in words how much I love this!!!
why even comment?
......no sir...perfect face
Surprised that David didn't recognise that Rob's character isn't a butler at all, but a valet. A butler is in charge of a number of servants in a household, whereas this guy is doing all the menial tasks.
Tim James Well if this man doesn't have any other servants the butler has nobody to manage
Well he thought there was at least a maid as well.
A valet like Kato to the Green Hornet, or Kato Kaelin, "America's Houseguest™"
I mean….maybe if this was the early 20th century but in the modern usage a butler is just a servant. Almost no one has a valet if they do have domestic staff. Also nowadays the head of a domestic staff is just a house manager.
He has a fuck load of backpay and holiday pay coming.
Does that means he has never paid him?
+Ashleigh Dungate Or he doesn't know he's been paying him ^^
Rich people don't know who they have or haven't paid!
More likely he gave him access to his accounts because he thought they were having shared finances, and the butler took it as another one of his duties.
@@TieDef Plate carrier and breakfast cook and a fucking *_finances manager of billions of dollars_*
Probably gave him an allowance.
"Butlington boots."
I just assumed the sketch ended there as he suddenly realizes who his housemaid is.
Does the reaction end up being better than what's pictured?
he arranges for the butler to send her flowers as an apology.
Well, preparing and serving breakfast would not be considered a butler's normal duties, so it's easy to see how confusion might have arisen.
Aw, I miss hearing David say "Good-o".
Plot twist: He's not actually a butler at all, just a boyfriend in denial.
But if it was like this i feel he should eventually say:
"They are gone.. all of them gone... AND WE ARE BACK!!!!!!!"
You just made everything about this video better.
If you thought this was a relationship you're nowhere near doing your bit
Yeah, let's go THERE!
Steve Butler
Mr. Programme with David and Bob!
Wait I totally didn't realize that until just now. Bob and David, Rob and David.
That's what I'm here for. ;)
Griffiths is such a great butler name
it goes hruuuuggghhh!!!
I was certain it would have been the other way around... Mitchell as the butler
This is missing the bit where he says the woman was his wife...
I imagine this is the new Jeeves and Wooster.
Such a coincidence, meeting him on the day he was looking for a butler.
The ending got me dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's win Upper Class Twit of the year.
Same here!
The woman, or the housemaid as how he called her, was his actual wife..
@rollthetape88 Yes, we all see it coming; but the punchline where says something along the lines of "I suppose a bunch of flowers is in order" is the whole point of the sketch. It's the pay-off, and we've earned it.
JEEVES AND WOOSTERRRRRRRR
Butlington boots
That is a hippopotamus. That is not my cow.
he looks SO much like John Malkovich sometimes
on no the end is cut off but we all know that's his wifey
[Citation needed]
No doubt
Oh haha, I wondered what you meant there. TH-cam switched account on me.
too funny
Understanding you hired a butler to do butler things isn't exactly rocket science.
But then again, he wouldn't know about that
I think it's better that way. :P
Mr. Jeffries seems to have taken it to extremes now
why cut the end off?
Every time they said "butler" I just kept thinking "butt plug".
I don't think the end was *supposed* to be there.
Logically he would be paying the butler so I don't see why he didn't realize that was his butler
@rollthetape88 "Wifey"?
@PassTheMarmalade1957 "Light refreshment".
Butlington Boots. Haha!
You mean you've actually met and spent time with every single one of us? Dear god, meeting a herd of youtube commenters, you poor thing :(
How? What happened?
@1mouse2mouse3mouse it makes it a different joke entirely.
40 years of "going out"...what, no sex? Sounds like a marriage to me...lol
was the woman the butler's wife or the master?
and young Sam in the nursery, it's long parst 6:00...
Is this a send up of a joe orton play?
I'm using different profiles. Sorry if I gave you that impression.
one problem with this sketch is, if he thinks that his butler is his partner, then unless his wife pays Steve, then the lord of the house isn't paying steve, therefore why is Steve still working for him
+Robert Smith His wife pays him. Or the Butler manages his masters money and pays the wage himself. Riddle solved.
Robert Smith no no no, its so obvious, steve is a volunteer butler duh
No I meant that would be a crude, as in blunt and unsubtle joke, that ruined the actual joke here. The joke being that he's thought his butler has been in a relationship with him for 40 years and only just found out he's wrong. If they've been having sex then there is no joke.
Unless you just find buttsex funny.
BUT WHO WAS MAID?!
You cut the end of the sketch off!
Butlington Boots.
That's your wife sir
idk if it's because I'm not British or something, but I have no idea what the punchline means...
nothing to do with you, this clip is missing 20 seconds of the sketch at the end ... a real bad job from the uploader there.
YOu will find the full version easily.
probably because of that
@Ivocopter yes aka wife
That's probably why they didn't put that joke in there; it was too obvious.
Ah, too bad the very end wasn't there . . .
@rollthetape88 Oh
You cut off the best part
An hour? You do know there's a small clean water spewing tube in your toilet? Takes maybe ten minutes, and that's if you do it twice. What on earth are you doing for the other fifty minutes?
Buttlington boots😂
”My names Steve” 😐
@eidius1989 the master's wife
now butler sounds realy wierd
At least he let him down gently i.e got into bed with him
The stat I read was around 60% gay couples and around 25% hetero couples, which sounds a lot more realistic than equal. Of course 60% is much lower than most homophobic people think (which is 100%), so it's a useful thing to point out - but also irrelevant, since distasteful as it may be to someone else, there is nothing morally wrong with any kind of sex between consenting adults...
“There is nothing morally wrong with any kind of sex between consenting adults”
As that is a matter of opinion, let us hope you do not advance that type of thinking in argumentation.
A stat for what?
What does that statistic refer to?
yes, but youre a different person
This is almost exactly how most English marriages are, to be honest.
The word sounds weird now :(
Thumbed down because you clipped the bloody punchline!
That's because you have a crude sense of humour, that would have utterly destroyed this sketch.
Wow, actually speechless at this...you do know that butler is a job title right? Adding a T so its "lol butt-ler, get it?" is possibly the most bizarrely immature thing anyone could ever take from this sketch...and to top it off, you insult someone for not sharing your warped sense of comedy.

i think the punchline would be well this is awkward
dddd
