how does he nail these scenes and characters so hard like damn his collins vibes are ON POINT especially and he follows the show quite faithfully except when it serves a good joke (like the dancing and looking into camera) but even then still somehow feels faithful to the scene like the vibes are still on point?? wild and full of talent and skill
Wow!! The mugging is reminiscent of Monty Python, if Monty Python were made up of Eric Idle quintuplets. Then just as we catch our breath from laughing, Colin Firth's dry tones cut through the mirth like a palate cleanser. Fantastic!!
Darcy’s wet shirt clip (on the BBC TH-cam channel) has over 10 mil views. That means this video can get at least 1 mil. Let’s make it happen, internet. Get this man the recognition he deserves.
Have I watched all the TikToks more than once? Yes. Have I made a cup of tea to sit down and enjoy it in its part one entirety? Also yes. This is setting me up very nicely for my trip to the ‘miserable half’ of Derbyshire this week.
I will never get enough of Lizzie breaking the fourth wall. It's just brillant! 👌 Glad to see you included the lampshade in the opening sequence, as it is a character in itself. Thank you for (planning, rehersing) filming, editing and uploading this absolute nonsense. It's perfection!
Quite possibly my favourite adaptation of P and P...... and because Ben is so lovely and won't blow his own trumpet, in his linktree profile there's a link to where you can leave him a tip if you've enjoyed watching these. I can't begin to imagine how much work goes into them (and not just in looking for suitable props)... Ben, you truly are a national treasure. Thank you for making us all smile and laugh.
I battle depression, today was looking to be a dark day. But I happened upon your video and I thank you so much for the 31 minutes of laughter! Thank you for sharing your genius!🥰
You, Ben, have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love - I love.. I love you. I never wish to be parted from you and your crazy facial expressions from this day on.
A few years ago, I went to a theatre production of Pride and Predjudice but there were only two actresses, and it took place in a local historical house! The audience followed them around the house as they acted different scenes, and they took turns playing all the characters, similar to you, using small props and accessories to distinguish between each character. It was amazing, unforgettable. I think it would be called emersive theatre? So fun! Yours is just as fun, and funny!! The dancing! 😂❤😂❤😂❤
We are undergoing a horrible US election season and this was the balm I needed. It will be saved also for further viewing for I fear dark days ahead. I am infinitely grateful.
Who could have ever predicted that a couple of safety pens, lace doilies and a lampshade could create the best adaptation of Pride and Prejudice? I think Jane Austen would have approved!
I didn't know what to expect when I clicked on this but after just 2 mins I am obssesed ! I am delightfully surprised and entertained .Thank you so much.
I love that anyone unfamiliar with the TV adaptation would think this guy is *WAY* exaggerating, only he’s not. Well perhaps the dance scene. I started watching this on my phone but had to switch to a larger screen a couple minutes in when I saw how good this was going to be. Needed to savor every nuance. Couldn’t wait to see how tall Darcy would be in looking down at Mr. Collins at the Netherfield ball. You did not disappoint me. Also nice ass shot when Collins gets out of the hired carriage.😄
This whole thing brings me so much happiness. I would incredibly happily sit through the entire '95 pride and prejudice acted with your enormous talent and humour
Simply spectacular!!! It is terribly difficult to choose but I think my favorites are the dance scenes. Followed by Mary playing the piano. I laugh out loud every time!!! And how is it that I forget that all the women are wearing a beard?! You are a genius! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
These are so, so good. I laugh out loud at the dancing, and love the safety pins in the shirts for Lizzy and Jane. Brilliant (in both the American and British connotation of the word.)
this is pure GOLD!!! cried with laughter at the Netherfield Ball Dancing ... sheer genius. Love LOVE LOVE this series - absolutely can't wait to see you do LCdB confronting Lizzie in the shrubbery!!!
I never noticed that Part 1 begins and ends with Mrs. Bennet's caterwauling until now. Your work on this reminds me of Robin Williams doing fake Shakespeare as an early bit - like yeah, its funny but i also understand Shakespeare on a whole different level now. 💐💐💐
I, like most here, could quote P&P95 right along with you but this is the first time in years I have actually laughed out loud, at anything. Thank you for that gift
You danced the macarena almost as well as Lizzy. And there is apparently nothing that cant be done on a small budget when you have the persistance of Mr. Collins. I hope there is a part 2! 🙏
Omg this is so good. The copy of each expression from the original, and then comically exagerrated... chefs kiss! Now i want to watch 1995 again!!! It was so good
OMG this is phenomenal ! It's amazing how you manage to capture each characters' facial expression! I laughed so hard 😂 I think it has become my favourite video on the Internet, thank you for this masterpiece !!
the way you got how mr darcy talks with his bottom teeth showing more often oh my word mr collins is my favorite though hes barely exaggerated xD incredible job
I feel the need to point out that, yes, the acting is absolutely exquisite, and your chameleon-like ability to fully inhabit every single VASTLY different character is unbelievable. However, I want to give props and shout-outs even more to THE EDITING. In order for this to feel entirely seamless, you had to act out all of these individual characters and *then* splice them all together so that it really does appear that these are all continuous scenes. And it does not in the least look like there are significant breaks in the filming. I am in awe! (And if you have someone helping with that, major props to them. If not, major props to you.) Major props to you regardless. This is truly magnificent. And hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing throughout every scene.
The camera work, too. I love how sometimes the camera moves in to the face or shakes when the character is running, etc. The angles, too. All so smart.
I love how this is both an exaggeration and exact replica of each character from the 95 version! 😂😂 You are magical! 🦄 Now everyone please join my chant: PART 2! PART 2! PART 2! PART 2! PART 2! PART 2!
This os TOP TIER. Having watched the original many, many times, the attention to all the facial expressions is not just hilarious but amazingly well executed!! BRAVO, good Sir!
I DEMAND to have the rest of the series THIS INSTANT!!! Such a humorous performance CERTAINLY deserves a continuation! We MUST HAVE THE REST OF THE STORY!!!
My poor husband is trying to finish work about 15 feet away and I am laughing myself into an apoplectic fit. I've been a wreck all day worrying about the election in the US but for a little while I forgot all about it. This is delightful and I can't think where you found the time for it. THANK YOU and I can't wait to see part 2
I was excited to see this compilation after keeping up with on Insta- it's all so spot on, especially greasy Mr Collins lol😂 Your creativity and dedication is greatly appreciated by so many who love this edition ❤
I've fallen in love with you for this video alone. It is one of the wittiest things I've seen on TH-cam. Brilliantly acted and incredibly funny. Thank you!
If Internet wasn't invented for this, what for then?..
This,this IS what it was made for..
@@you_ngsk my sentiments exactly!
Upon my word, it is the most beautiful adaptation we ever beheld.
Definitely, lizzy breaking the fourth wall😂 Mr Collins all of it is just brilliant!
I love that you made your own opening sequence 😂
It's genius 😂
Mr. Collins' hair and his every expression! Caroline's feather! The versatile uses of the doily! Mary's performance! This is a masterpiece.
4:03 this is but a fleeting shot, yet it is somehow the most Jane Bennet Jane Bennet to ever have Jane Bennetted
nailed. it.
Jane Bennet coded 😂
My God, the DANCING! I completely lost it! 😂😂😂
I could not agree more! Just brilliant 🤣🤣🤣
Indeed, he could not have done better.
Mr. Fensome, you have given us a Treasure.
Upon my word, you give your opinion very decidedly for so young a person
@@anthuriumcactusshe is not one and twenty.
You don't understand how much I love this. This is how I want to consume all period British drama from now on!
Pride and Prejudice aka Socks and Safety pins 😂
I'm obsessed with this adaptation.
Same. 😅
SAME 😂
It's definitive! 👏👏
Caroline Bingley’s feather and shoulder pads get me every time 😂
I never knew the diversity of a single soft lace in costuming. Bravo. 👏🏻
Possibly one of the most precious things to ever be uploaded to the internet.
Indeed!
how does he nail these scenes and characters so hard like damn his collins vibes are ON POINT especially and he follows the show quite faithfully except when it serves a good joke (like the dancing and looking into camera) but even then still somehow feels faithful to the scene like the vibes are still on point?? wild and full of talent and skill
I love how large this has become! It just started with one video and then us begging you for more 😂
@@odysseyflyer 😄
@@somebenfen Begging isn't great for my knees but I will if I have to! 🙏🙏
@@Randy_Batswinger😂 Oh, dear, Lord!
I think we all need a part two!
Those regency dance moves are something else. Thank you Ben, I haven’t laughed so much in ages. Encore!
We came for Pride and Prejudice. We stayed for Mrs. Bennet. And Lady Lampshade. *cough*
I live for Lady lampshade😂
20:49 - Lizzie Bennet doing the Macarena was something i did not know I needed in life! 😂😂😂😂👏👏👏
When I thought it couldn't get better - then there was the dancing! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow!! The mugging is reminiscent of Monty Python, if Monty Python were made up of Eric Idle quintuplets. Then just as we catch our breath from laughing, Colin Firth's dry tones cut through the mirth like a palate cleanser. Fantastic!!
I don't know what's funnier… Mr. Collins eyes, Mr. Wickham's wig, or the dancing scene between Lizzie and Darcy. 😂
I was screaming by the time Mary picked up her Jazz Piano book and walked away from the instrument. 😂
Darcy’s wet shirt clip (on the BBC TH-cam channel) has over 10 mil views. That means this video can get at least 1 mil. Let’s make it happen, internet. Get this man the recognition he deserves.

Make sure to dance with all the officers!
Oh no, wait- that’s Brighton.
The dancing! Mary! The safety pins! The intro! Mr. Collins’ hair! Perfection!
Thank you for putting them all into a chronological compilation! Absolutely phenomenal facial expressions 🤣🤯
I will never get enough of Lizzie breaking the fourth wall. It's just brillant! 👌
Glad to see you included the lampshade in the opening sequence, as it is a character in itself.
Thank you for (planning, rehersing) filming, editing and uploading this absolute nonsense. It's perfection!
Brilliant. The only thing to top this would be the ability to watch Austen see your take on it.
Quite possibly my favourite adaptation of P and P...... and because Ben is so lovely and won't blow his own trumpet, in his linktree profile there's a link to where you can leave him a tip if you've enjoyed watching these. I can't begin to imagine how much work goes into them (and not just in looking for suitable props)... Ben, you truly are a national treasure. Thank you for making us all smile and laugh.
He's hysterical. I laughed so hard, especially when Mr. Collins was dancing the Charleston.
Standing ovation👏👏👏👏.
My laughter lines are screaming for help😂😂😂😂😂
😂 Indeed, miss!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
It’s most enjoyable.
I battle depression, today was looking to be a dark day. But I happened upon your video and I thank you so much for the 31 minutes of laughter! Thank you for sharing your genius!🥰
@@kellymallette4661 💙💙
@kellymallette4661 Same! Oh, same! 😭💙🙂↕️
Also same.
Lizzie breaking the 4th wall cracks me up everytime 😂😂😂😂
You have captured their expressions to perfection. This is pure GOLD!
I'm laughing so hard I cried. The opening sequence 💀 The way bro captured Mrs. Bennett. HIS JANE BENNETT FACE 😂😂
You, Ben, have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love - I love.. I love you. I never wish to be parted from you and your crazy facial expressions from this day on.

Absolutely spot on! A chameleon portrayal of smug, swagger, creep, and the absurd. Well done!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Who could have ever predicted that a couple of safety pens, lace doilies and a lampshade could create the best adaptation of Pride and Prejudice? I think Jane Austen would have approved!
Allow me to express how ardently I love and admire your adaptation.
We will never tire of this: what an interpretation.
This is art and belongs in a museum!
You had me at the safety pins
I didn't know what to expect when I clicked on this but after just 2 mins I am obssesed ! I am delightfully surprised and entertained .Thank you so much.

There are certain things that one doesn't know one needs in one's life, and this is...one...of them 😄

Haha. Poor Mary.
Or Mrs Bennet and her poor nerves...
😂
The '95 vs. '05 quarrel was safely put to rest.
@@BelénSalvah 🙏🙏
It is most perplexing how this should prove so uncommonly addictive!
Oh dear, I giggled, snorted, tittered, chortled and whooped my way through this. Absolutely brilliant.
I can’t really express how much joy these videos give me. Thank you so much.
The dish cloth hankerchief, sock cravats and carefully safety pinned t-shirts are inspirational! 😂
These are so, so good. I laugh out loud at the dancing, and love the safety pins in the shirts for Lizzy and Jane. Brilliant (in both the American and British connotation of the word.)
Genius. Pure genius. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely delightful. The wardrobe “representations” 😅 and facial expressions are 👨🏻🍳😘. So well done.
this is pure GOLD!!! cried with laughter at the Netherfield Ball Dancing ... sheer genius. Love LOVE LOVE this series - absolutely can't wait to see you do LCdB confronting Lizzie in the shrubbery!!!
I love the low budget version. Since its rainy... I poured myself a cup of tea and made myself comfortable...❤😂
Lady Catherine de Bourgh’s hat has brightened my day! Thank you for this magnificent performance! Bravo! ❤️
I never noticed that Part 1 begins and ends with Mrs. Bennet's caterwauling until now.
Your work on this reminds me of Robin Williams doing fake Shakespeare as an early bit - like yeah, its funny but i also understand Shakespeare on a whole different level now. 💐💐💐
You have performed a miracle. You have made Mrs Bennet my favorite character 🤩
This may be the best adaptation I have ever seen
This is the best thing I found online in a long while 🤣
These are even better all together than they were scene by scene on Instagram. Wonderful work!
Absolutely the best thing ever made! I’m watching this with my eight month old baby right now and she’s absolutely obsessed lol
I, like most here, could quote P&P95 right along with you but this is the first time in years I have actually laughed out loud, at anything. Thank you for that gift
YESSSS “thank you Ben!!” We all say in unison 😂❤️❤️🔥
You danced the macarena almost as well as Lizzy. And there is apparently nothing that cant be done on a small budget when you have the persistance of Mr. Collins. I hope there is a part 2! 🙏
A friend shared this with my husband and I, it's made our evening. Incredible 😂
Omg this is so good. The copy of each expression from the original, and then comically exagerrated... chefs kiss! Now i want to watch 1995 again!!! It was so good
Mr Collins dancing is sending me 😆 he has a lovely pirouette!
I see you've memorized the funniest parts as we have! 😂the safety pins
I will have to say this version is much better than the Kiera Kightly version 😂
The TH-cam version for sure
OMG this is phenomenal ! It's amazing how you manage to capture each characters' facial expression! I laughed so hard 😂 I think it has become my favourite video on the Internet, thank you for this masterpiece !!
My word, sir, you deserve real money for this adaptation. Bravo sir! 👏 👏 👏
Omg, 😂the feather 🪶 the dance!! 🤣🤣🤣
the way you got how mr darcy talks with his bottom teeth showing more often oh my word
mr collins is my favorite though hes barely exaggerated xD

The camera work, too. I love how sometimes the camera moves in to the face or shakes when the character is running, etc. The angles, too. All so smart.
The letter scene, the edit of Mr. Bennett reading the letter from Mr. Collins turning into Mr. Collins timed with the voice transition!
Fantastic use of old doilies.
I love how this is both an exaggeration and exact replica of each character from the 95 version! 😂😂 You are magical! 🦄
Now everyone please join my chant: PART 2! PART 2! PART 2! PART 2! PART 2! PART 2!
Part 2! Part 2!
I feel like this would be my pre-game for watching the real thing 😂
This is a delight to watch. I love your range of facial expressions that fit each character to the tee!
Brought here from instagram and just subscribed! You’re brilliant!! Capital! Capital!
lmao you got Alison Steadman's mannerisms perfectly lol
😂 "My poor nerves!"
She must definitely watch this and do sth together with Ben. Alison Steadman, please watch this!
This os TOP TIER. Having watched the original many, many times, the attention to all the facial expressions is not just hilarious but amazingly well executed!!
BRAVO, good Sir!
Thanks, Ben - this is astonishingly entertaining. The dance scenes… I haven’t laughed so hard in years!
You’re hilarious! Thanks for bringing this silliness into the world and brightening my day so much
