"Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen! Please remember you're ladies!"
Seems to be a lot of that going on these days...
Haha that was the stand out line for me too
Monty Python, the Goodies and Marty Feldman all; owe their existence to this forgotten classic !!
Watching The Goodies was a fond memory of mine growing up in the 70s. Interestingly, my favorite fast food place during that time was called Goody's. I think John, Marty and Graham add-libbed new names to prank Tim in this skit. It's wonderful.
The sixties and seventies turned out some excellent comedians. 😃
Highlight: Feldman with his egor face and barritone voice saying "Yes... Samantha is really 'me' sir..."
John and Grahams towering bulks in drag is the whole skit by itself
Naughty John, Marty and Graham: they changed their pseudonym names in the script but didn’t tell Tim as a prank. That’s why Tim seems so unsure! He rises above it though and carries on with the sketch. They all looked like they were having huge fun! Thanks for the upload: always a pleasure to watch! 👍
Enjoyable comment to read
I didn't know that Jez T. Perhaps that was the inspiration for the effect on the actors in the 'Bigus Dickus' scene in 'Life of Brian'. :)
I get the feeling there’s a real Philippa that Tim knew
What a pleasure to watch real comedy as opposed to the utter drivel from the likes of BBC ITV or Channel 4 how times have changed for the worst ! 👍🇬🇧
Marty was an absolute pleasure to watch and listen to. A very funny man who left us far too early.
Great chemistry
WISH FELDMAN WOULD HAVE JOINED THE FLYING CIRCUS
Priceless. Feldman wanted a piece of John Cleese with that handbag weapon thingy.
I love it when comedians start grinning at each other’s lines as they full know the weight of the following exchange of words.
Real, proper, classic British comedy!
About real, proper, classic British ladies!
RIP Graham Chapman, Tim Brookes Taylor and Marty Feldman. Much missed. 😆😔❤️
All very funny guys ( er...ladies ) John Cleese is the only one still alive.
RIP Tim. Marty, & Graham. were outstanding geniuses. Cleese still is too...
I don't think I've still come to term with Tim's death yet...
Samam'pha Is Me!! ... Zomg!! .. Im in Bits!!! 😂😂😂
Cleese's hairy legs are hilarious. Chapmans tache too.
Legend's.
Thats all that can be said about these blokes. Each and every single one of them a Legend.
*legends (sigh)
It's a pleasure to watch them all trying not to corpse, especially Graham. He always managed to keep it together better than the others.
Never seen this before. Heard so much about it and this sketch confirms it.
Class, we need to get back to Live filming!
What noone seems to notice is that the copper is making a damned good Michael Palin impersonation.
Who's noone? I think you mean "no one"
@@mattiemclean9882 Your life must be immensely boring... /smdh
Was Palin even famous at this time?? I really doubt he's impersonating him.
I feel like he was channeling Kenneth Williams
@@thedarksiderebel Definitely Kenneth Williams.
This is one the funniest things I have ever seen. Comic Genius at its best.
Marty Feldman is an underrated comic genius
Ahh TBT, what an actor. 😂😂😁😁😁
Marty is not gentle with the handbag there. That swing is ment to hurt someone.
I think the ferocity and head-shot accuracy with which Marty swung that bag startled John! LOL
Marty Feldman getting all catty is hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣
Whaddya mean I 'aven't got the legs for it? Whaddya mean 'my age', ya ol' scrubber?
Love LOVE Brit comedy!😁
Simply lovely 💗💗 we all need a good piece of pure comedy now more than ever!!
You're not far wrong.
Glad I had a chance to watch this show! I miss this type of comedy!
It is brilliant isn’t it? I am too young to have ever seen this before. I know all the crew from other shows of course. This has aged so well!
Me too, there is no real comedy these days.
@@christinepage1523 I think there is plenty of comedy but much of it is mean spirited. ☹️
@@kashigata mean spirited or not can't modern wusses take a joke nowadays. Give had a few directed my way. You shake off, suck it up, Parry and punch- line back
"I fink Samanfa is me...."
Absolutely marvellous. And laugh out loud funny.
Effortlessly funny
In the original script (which is online somewhere) Graham was Elsie and Marty was Carmen. John was still Doris.
The way the audience reacted it seems like they were in on the joke but I'm sure they weren't.
Just seeing all of them laugh is pure gold!
Brilliant fun, too bad we don't see good skits like this on TV anymore. Great stuff.
Great to see this, mate.
Are you trying to sound British?
The “Mate” is out of place.
"Gentlemen, please remember you're ladies!"
Yes, and I must warn you that anything you take down may be used in evidence against you...
@@appledoreman Yikes!
Graham played another "Constable Beryl" in a Python bit as I recall.
Thank you!
When humour was fun and no-one was ever offended, god life used to be good!
l'm offended by virtually everything, especially god life.
👏👏👏👏
I'm HIGHLY OFFENDED that this isn't recorded in color.
Never mind that color TV cameras had yet to be invented -- what does THAT matter? The oppression!!
Ooh, first comment was a nostalgia masturbator. Who would get offended by this? Men dressing as women is literally one of the coolest things at the moment, ever watched RuPaul's Drag Race?
I'm offended it's not funny. Four Yorkshiremen - that's a sketch, this is just cheap target garbage. [I am from Yorkshire btw]
Call me bubbles, darling... everybody does!
4 legendary British comedians in one skit. Fantastic.
The brilliant Marty Feldman 😂
Lifes too short ❤
Why have I never seen that before? Brilliant.
Always funny. Thank God for John Cleese
For a moment there I thought he'd said "Gloria Estefan" XP
What a cast!!!!!
A great bit of British comedy! 🇬🇧
Didn't realise Graham Chapman was so tall
I think Chapman was 6 4" and Cleese 6 7" .
@@Keepingitrespectfulmostly. Don't forget the heels!
@@carolramsey6287 How is that relevant?
So great!
Oh my goodness, thus is true fun!
Classic!
Essential viewing at my school.
Bring back the “Sermon “ sketch. ( “ My brother is an hairy man and I am a smooth”). That one did it for me.
Wasn’t that an Alan Bennett sketch?
@@TheAndrewJBaker It was , but his name escaped me when I remembered the sketch . He imitated perfectly the ecclesiastical bleat
that many vicars adopted when delivering particularly boring sermons ,and , of course, lent themselves to parody by cheeky schoolboys.
@@miksal26 yes indeed. It was originally a sketch in Beyond the Fringe on stage but I think it was also used in his tv series On The Margin in 1966. That’s where I remember seeing it I think. The series is lost apart from soundtracks which have been released. I might be wrong about that though! I do remember other things that were certainly in On the Margin like the NORWICH sketch. I was only 12.
Great stuff! :)
It's sad to say that John is the only one left
Nice! Now bring us a clip of "Mr. Hilter"!
Fantastic 😂
Those were the days!!!!!
I found the "1948 Show" on DVD and knew very little about it at first. Lord, is it funny! I never knew Marty Feldman had ever done television. This show helped make him a star. It's hard to believe the BBC almost deleted this show from their archives.
This was ITV (Rediffusion was the company at the time.) Marty Feldman went to the BBC for his own series called Marty in 1968.
🫡🤣 Thank you gentlemen.
Brilliant 🤣
FIFTY years later, nary a curse word, F-bomb, or derogatory blip. Still hilarious. My 28 yr old great nephew and his friends watch the MPS and love it! Good is good, but these guys are comedy genius. 💝
What a group of sexy women .
Actually this is amazing funny. And Samantha indeed has the best English Rose complexion.
You should have mentioned Marty Feldman in the title. He was a wonderful guy.
Goodies, Python, and Feldman in one skit.... IT DON'T GET MUCH BETTER, DINNIT!!!
Its amazing that something so risqué then can be so innocent now. Still wouldn't let the kiddos watch but I somehow feel nostalgic and therefore, benign.
I think Marty is wearing one of Caroline John's wigs from when she played Dr. Liz Shaw on "Doctor Who."
So great to see Marty Feldman again!
Poor Graham, you probably couldn't light a match near him he's so obviously tanked in this....
Wot a hidden gem. Comic genius by talented writers and actors - even funnier, i have been to clubs like that 😉 K
Humor that doesn't care if anyone gets offended. Brilliant.
Is there any body these days this funny and no swearing ???
That was hilarious.
Samamfa!
This skit would drive the PC crowd insane today.
Police Constables have a great sense of humour.
Damn good stuff from days gone by. 🇺🇸
Gentlemen, remember you are ladies! How VERY profound. Maybe John you could update this sketch for us true comedy lovers.
It's so sad that John is the only one of this quartet who is still with us.
I used to like John Cleese in the nineties but I don't mind what temperature he is now
"Gentlemen! Please remember that you're laidies!
Funny stuff 🤣😝🤣
Quality 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m only here for the inane comments about how terrible the world is today and how wonderful comedy used to be.
Looking at the comments, you won't be disappointed :-)
Makes you proud to be British
Genius! LMAO-OFR
Today, this is a completely serious scenario.
No one plays a copper better than Chapman. Same is the case with Hugh Laurie playing a doctor.
Both performances must have been based on their respective fathers. 🤔
Marty Feidman - he had a face for comedy
John Cleese had a good cemented career by this time and he thought he was a star above the Pythons, but Monthy Python polished that raw diamond he was.
Particularly funny to a Hungarian ear. The Esterhazy is a family of nobility, count and countess, that is.
Gentlemen Gentlemen Gentlemen, please remember that you are ladies
It's a shame Marty wasn't a part of Monty Python!
Being a huge Monty Python fan, I am astonished/surprised/embarrased(*) that I had no idea this show existed and the only excuse is I´m not from The Great Britain. This is fantastic humour!

If you are not aware of it check out 'Do Not Adjust Your Set' a children's comedy series which aired on UK TV between 1967 and 1969 and starred amongst others Michael Palin, Terry Jones and Graham Chapman with music by the Bonzo Dog Doo - Dah Band and animation by Terry Gilliam.
@@Wotsitorlabart Thank you for your tip, will watch it!
All of the Pythons got their starts as writers and writer/performers on shows like The Frost Report, the 1948 Show and Do Not Adjust Your Set. Of course, Spike Milligna - the well-known typing error - set the whole comedy scene alight a decade earlier with the Goon Show.
@@markvolt2070 I remember rushing home from school to watch Do Not Adjust Your Set, brilliant! And with The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band as house band too, check them out if you are not familiar with their work.
Another comedy kids show (I think it was for kids anyway) I remember watching was The Telegoons in the early sixties.
It was basically The Goons (Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe) made into a puppet show. Check that out as well.There is something slightly disturbing about it.
No wonder I grew up a bit weird.
Me to son, 64yrs old and this show was to young for me! Just discovered it in time to die - just made it.....
Very funny🐱
Very funny skit
The brits sure know how get you in stitches.
Genius ..
What wonderful stuff. Now, of course, everyone would be offended. Well, it would never be aired in the first place. Thank God for humour. How we need it now!
I wonder if the inspiration was from the force using ‘pretty policeman’ in gay establishments at the time? (The idea was they sent in attractive coppers to flirt then arrested any man who reciprocated for ‘public indecency’)
I once worked with a retired plod who was often assigned to duty pouf catching at gents public conveniences. He told me he had once arrested two suspicious looking women outside some public bogs in the days before PACE and couldn't understand why they wouldn't speak when questioned. His colleagues kept lookingooking into the interview room, laughing and shutting the door. Then he spotted one of them''s hairy hands. He was always known after that as the copper who couldn't tell boys from girls.
And only Bubbles had the legs for the mini skirt, so true.
Which one was bubbles?
@@Rudepenaltyoffside John Cleese, the tall one on the left.
Beryl would, too, but she doesn't want to come across as too cheap
Marty Feldman was classic. RIP Marty.
Tim's talent is not to be compared to that of the others, but he rose to the occasion. Feldman (as are we all) irreplaceable.
I think that's a little unfair tbh. Tim was just as good imo.
That is a bit unfair, he was a good writer, together with Marty Feldman he wrote the ‘Four Yorkshireman’ sketch before Monty Python reused it.
You obviously haven't seen The Goodies. Tim was an amazing perfomer.
