The idea of a cafeteria worker not knowing who Darth Vader is despite working on the death star is perhaps the funniest thing.
That's Jeff Vader that is...
I think it’s funnier he didn’t even _know_ he was on the Death Star
Darth Vader ordering Penne a la Arrabiata is pretty funny, too, seeing as he can only eat Toblerone.
not knowing what a death star is despite working on it
He could have just been a contractor
If Eddie was writing Star Wars, then Vader would have transferred to a desk job and developed a closeted drinking problem.
Check out Doc Vader lol
Is it weird that I'm here for it?
🤣👍
😂😂😂👍🏼
In full drag
As someone who’s worked in the food service industry I quite often get to say “did you dry these in a rainforest?!” And it always makes me smile!
"This is not a game of who the fuck are you" is one of my favorite comedic lines of all time.
@
Fascinating "of all time"
Yes.
The only British comedian I know who can out Python Python. I always come back to this. It is one of the most brilliantly written comedy sketches of all time.
I swear his humour sounds familiar hahahahah so this is why.
John Cleese ones call him "the lost Python"
Hes far funnier than Clease. And comes over as a much nicer person. He is more like the goons.
Yes!! Izzard is in a league unto herself
“You’re Mr. Stevens?”.... i lost it
Yes.
Alexandre Reber did you ever have it to begin with?
@@willg4802 Will seems jealous....and perhaps somehow empty .
You’re the head of catering?!
Watched this so many times and still laugh out loud.
'youre mister Stevens?' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"What star is that?
The death star.
What does it do?
IT DOES DEATH!"
I fell off my chair xD
' FÖRÄSTEN DOM
It does death, buddy!
“You still need a tray...!” It gets me everytime!
I met a Mr Stevens once.
I said 'so youre the head of catering then? Nice work on vader'
His confused look.
Priceless.
Jeff Vader is one of the most recognizable villains in the history of cinema.
I got his autograph!
@@MsBizzyGurl
Eddie's or Jeff's?
@@vardellsfolly5200 Jeff's! Lol
@@MsBizzyGurl
Jeff VADER!!!!!!!!!!!
Lord Vader of Cheam.
"Eddie lzzard is a lost python".
John Cleese.
Every time I see a stack of trays. I think “this one is wet. This one is wet”
Love them, theyare Fabulous
same!
Me too
And a lot of times they are!
STEVEN SPENNEBERG I work in a restaurant and one of my best friends also knows and loves this joke. Once in a while we grab the trays and go this one is wet this one is wet and one of us will go I’m sorry we dried it in a rainforest! And all the uncultured swine look at us like we are insane
Children, Count to 10.
Children: Four, Five, Six, One, Two, Three, Seven, Rogue One, Eight, Solo, Nine, Ten!
You forgot Chewbacca Christmas Special
"No, it goes Four, Five, Six, One, Two, Three, Seven, Rogue One, Eight and Solo. Nine and Ten have not been made."
"Nine and ten have not been made? Well, what shall they be?"
"What they shall be, we do not know. All we do know is that Rey won't live up to her potential."
@@Mr_Bunk she will absolutely live up to her potential by being randomly killed in the first few seconds of the next movie
@Butt Why?? We can only hope.
That was not the counting you are talking about
This is a fucking star! I run it! I'm your boss!
You're Mr. Stevens?
Yes.
@@josephstevens5489 I am cracking up🤣🤣🤣
I play this scene in my head every time I go to the work's canteen.
What is that star?
It’s the Death Star.
What does it do?
It does DEATH!!
Never gets old.
2019, still not old
@@volusiasorange 2021. Still great
2022 - still great!
2023. I can confirm that it is still great.
2024 here , its shit
Nar just kidding - still brilliant!
This man ran 43 marathons in 51 days. Sometimes he runs double marathons.
But not in heels.
Sounds like he's running away from something.
Also I've heard he can kill you with a thought. Or a tray, if he so wished...
Nautilus1972 amazing man ✨✨💕💕
@@chickenfriedbobcat6090 Depends on perspective. The other half of the time he appears to be running towards something...like fund-raising.
Best bit ever! I've seen this 50 times or more and it never gets old.
Eddie's stand up skits are like Monty Python scenes, I love it
She has made it clear that she’s a massive Python fan.
"That's Jeff Vader that is!"
this man is a genius
Total
Not bad for transgender tomboy.....his words
Yeah.
@@yz4901983 Her, possibly?
This is hilarious and I do not watch enough Eddie Izzard, New Years resolution.
More Izzard!
How did it go?
2022 still the most brilliant comedy bit ever, gets me every time.....period
This never fails to make me laugh 😂 in my early 20s i met a mr stevens in work... he actually worked in engineering but I used to call him head of catering. He always seemed so offended! But what made it funnier was that he would respond with "im not head of catering!" Lmao! I'm just hoping he saw this eventually or else im pretty sure he thinks i was just picking on him lol 😂
🤣 Did you ask if he could get you Jeff Vader's autograph?
@@oisyn- Missed opportunity! 🤣 Our big boss was actually called Geoff so I wish I had! Xxx
This is one of my favourite sketches of all time. I think of it regularly in the work canteen.
I adore how he goes on brilliant little birdwalks, which result in more brilliant little birdwalks, (rinse & repeat)...and STILL manages to come back round to the point! When I digress too profoundly, the original train of thought derails & burns a firey death, never to be heard from again!
I imagine that, like Frankie Howard before him, he rehearses those apparent ad libs exhaustively, so that what appears utterly spontaneous is actually a masterfully crafted concerto of crazy.
Monthy Pythons force is strong in him...
No Monty Python is not funny, this is funny.
@James Cook that is not even as funny as Portlandia which is not funny
We all have different ones. Glad you enjoy it.
@@o0xst you sir are lacking in sense of humor. Monty python is hilarious British humor.
doman tlen That was all I could think hearing him, too.
This is my absolute favorite comical sketch, period.
"..I could kill *me* with a thought!" XD
This is the first time I see this sketch without LEGO x'D
I first saw the Lego one in the military and the person I was dating at the time, either one of us would start by saying "... a Death Star Canteen yeah?" and we'd speak the whole sketch. Some people actually thought we were having a coded conversation which neither of us confirmed or denied
I forgot how good Eddie is. Thanks for uploading. Xx
Well we wouldn't want Anakin to burn his hands would we
Edward Tupper the depth of the darkness to this comment is awe inspiring...
Ooh! Bur.... wait...
Evsr since that incident on mustafar he doesnt like being burned 😂
The better question is why didn’t he just say I can use the four veto hold the hot food
He handles those heels wow
He is a marathon runner, he can kill you with those heels.
Eddie is a COMIC genius !!!!!!!!
Hands down one of the funniest sketches ever done. 'Are you Mr Stevens' 😂😂😂😂 Jeff Vadar ha ha
This is the funniest stand up about Star Wars I have ever heard!!!
Just bought some Arrabbiata sauce the other day and thought of this skit. Had no idea what it was before hand but right under Arrabbiata on the jar it just says spicy marinara. Can't wait to try it.
They served a Penne all'Arrabiata at a food court near my work. I ordered it once in Darth Vader's voice. Unfortunately the joke was lost on them, and I didn't even need a tray. And they had no peas either. I was really excited to try to push them up the tubes.
I can only see Eddie as a woman when watching these old videos now that she's come out. Like when I was first watching her shows, I just saw her as what she self-described herself as at the time; a man in women's clothing. But as I'm watching these shows all these years later, I can't see her as a man at all anymore. So proud of her for coming out ❤
And then we have Kaitlyn Jenner.
Yep. My transphobic dad is a fan of her. Welp, time to crush his soul :)
One of my favorite skits EVER!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
I would love to see someone in a full Vader costume ordering food at a fast food place with a voice filter.
lemonny3663
I seem to recall a commercial with fast food tie in and vader ordering. Probably 30 years ago.
Could be wrong though
just drive up the M62 any random day
What do you mean the Shamrock shake is seasonal? Do you know who I am?
Jeff Vader?
This made him a legend. Yet again.
Just brilliant - I can't imagine anyone else doing this. Where does it come from? Well, from his mind I guess. The glorious interface of the fantastic world of Darth Vader and the ordinary down to earth prosaic world of the studio production canteen. The whole business about the tray is a flight of genius. I could never think of all that in a 1000 years.
Best stand-up comedian ever.
I still think about this bit and many others years later. Fuck it, I'll get a tray 🤣
That's still So Good! Death by Tray always gets me 😂😂
OMG. !!!! Iconic moment in comedy being witnessed right now!!!💥✨💥✨💥✨🥂🥂💛🧡❤️💜💙🌈🌸
I love you Eddie Izzard !
His makeup is so good! And that necklace 💕
I know I'm got makeup envy. Love Eddie!💖
Never seen anyone address Star Wars's numbering in this way.
Probably the best standup ever
This may be the funniest thing ever written.
Still a legend even today
I've seen this dozens of times..... always has me laughing.
Absolutely brilliant
This never fails to have me crying with laughter 😂😂😂
My favorite routine!!! Arrabiata!!! SO Fing funny!!!
Eddie ThankYou forever for this 🙏🏽🤪🤗❤️
Antony hopkins in his legendary role in remains of the day plays a guy who is the head of catering called stevens
Thank you mama Eddie from the States!
Oh; I see....the food is hot. 😂😂😂
"...with your centaliters and milliliters and your fackin' combine harvesters..." lmfao
I came back for "IT DOES DEATH, BUDDY!" 😂
Love him he’s hilarious
Matthew Clifford Agree 💛
I like how this is technically canon under the old lore...and robot chicken.
“It does death” Mr. Izzard is so very cool XD
Legendary bit
"I am Darth Vader. Lord Vader. I can kill you with a single thought."
"Well, you'll still need a tray."
Dead 😂
I adore this man!
Hilarious piece of surrealism :)
still watching and laughing 2 years later.
This and the Cake Or Death routine were referenced in LEGO Skywalker Saga.
I still love this part ;D
Gothilian me too 💜
I use to watch a lego version of this bit +10 years ago! Never had a clue it was from a standup!
Jeff Vader is mentioned in the XXX version of Star Wars.
Brilliant!
Eddie's definitely channeling some Monty Python with this sketch, pure genius.
Izzard's scene in the Death Star cafe is still better than any scenes in The Last Jedi.
"I'll get a tray, fuck it" 😂
😂😂😂 still so funny to watch years later!
His best look!
brilliant!
The very best of the best ever
omg I havnt laughed like that in a long time.
Children! Count up to ten!
Children: 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 7, Rogue One, 8, Solo, 9, Kenobi!
Genius is a perhaps overused adjective in general praise of artistry, but applies here to Eddie. Running with the idea depending on audience reaction and participation. Love it. Same instinct as Stewart Lee...
Great! :))
Love him too funny
"The Empire Strikes Back, the fifth of the four Star Wars movies"
So funny. Don't mess with the kitchen ladles!!
Hola Eddie The first i knew Of YOU is STAR WARS Cantina....LOL Mister Stevens...!
Any time i see someone in a Darth Vader costume i always say "you'll need a tray" as i walk past. Can't help myself.
One of the best routines every.
" I'll have the Penne All'Arrabiatta "
Oh my god, I was an easy kill here ^^
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?
Brilliant.
I was the food and beverage manager at LWT - we had these characters every day ...
Need that shirt and dinner & conversation with the human wearing it!
I wonder if an imperial officer started to choke while having lunch and people thought erm is Vader angry at him or has that sandwich just gone down the wrong way?
Genius.
