I grew up watching only fools and horses, open all hours, porridge and the all the rest of the classic sitcoms wit my grandparents some of mine best memories
I spent six years in and around Wales when I was growing up and picked up the accent, moved hundreds of miles away back home and lost the accent, now I can't put it on to save my life but when I (rarely) get angry or pissed-off I start speaking in a really strong Welsh accent, that usually makes people piss themselves laughing and it diffuses the situation. lol 🍻
There are SO many utterly brilliant comedic moments in OFAH, but I honestly think this may be my favorite. No matter how many times I watch it, it never fails to make me laugh until my stomach hurts. Pure genius - both the writing and the acting. 👏
This show has my dad in stitches every time he watches it so much it made him cry with laughter I love this show to bits I need to get this boxset on dvd
They are both poor, both want to be successful both trying to be successful but their business antics and attempts to get rich are simply embarrassing. Both Del and Rodney know that neither of them have an impressive resume and Rodney only said he didn't have a brother because he wouldn't want any employer to know he spent most of his life flogging tat out of a little yellow van at the market, not because he doesn't love him.
OFAH got better and better as the characters matured through its life. This clip says it all. The writing is beyond magnificent, JS was a one off. And the addition of Raquel - utter genius!
OFAH makes Xmas for me, grew up with this...born in 83 this reminds me being with all the family on Xmas evening for the special! Merry Xmas everyone ❤
When was the line “Clint, we need a bigger boat” ever mentioned in OFAH?? 🤔 and, as Northwesternmonkey asked, who is Clint?? I think that’s the first time someone has mixed up a famous line from Jaws and thinking it was from OFAH!! 😂🤣. If that is the case then it’s Quint not Clint and also it’s just “we’re gonna need a bigger boat”
I always thought that the Batman and Robin was my favourite scene but this is now my favourite. "For a minute then I thought you said you loved me" Absolute classic. Shame the full clip isn't shown.
Excellent sketch, I had forgotten all about. Del boy nailed the Welsh accent well. "Ivor/Iva Hardy" 😂 Totally, my SOH sometimes too. The other example was Ralphie in The Sopranos when he calls Paulie's Mother and he pretends to be the police. Response to video only.
There’s a reason David Jason can do a Welsh accent so well…he IS Welsh, or rather half-Welsh, through his mother, Olwen Jones, a charwoman from Merthyr Tydfil! Prior to this he starred as No Good Boyo in the 1972 version of Under MilkWood, using the same accent.
@@balsham137 imagine trying to write a decent script nowadays?! You would have to be altering it every other sentence in case it offends any delicate souls, a nightmare.

A superb scene! Always think the phonecall section could go on for one more piece of dialogue longer but just so good - infact the clip here should have lasted until Del sat beside Rodney! What a shame!

Well said 👍
Yep defo the great show ever
Yeah, what's the bad news?
Uncle Albert kills me
It’s the little bits like saying bonjour etc that makes this programme the best ever comedy written
Mange tout i agree
And the fact that the 'please wait' music on the phone is 'Old Shep', Del Boy's favourite!
"What do you mean, hes applying to assist himself!?" Always makes me laugh that line.
Love Del’s expression!
"No, I haven't got a brother" 😅😂😅😅🤣🤣
🤨🤨
I could well imagine
My Neece is saying the exact same thing about her brother.
I honestly believe she would be happy & content to be any only child.
Genius writing. Epic comedy. Albert’s delivery was spot on.
Raquel's facial expressions are priceless when Dell's on the phone.
John Sullivan,the greatest comedy script writer ever. Superbly acted by all
I’ve watched plenty other comedies that were as good if not better.
This wasn’t John Sullivan’s writing he died before this episode
Great

@Boxing Bot is that the only one that you could not pick? If you don’t think it’s a comedy what do you think it is then?
Old Shep being the hold music is amazing.
I only just realised that after all this time, brilliant
So grateful to have sat with my family to watch these together through the 80s & and early 90s. Sadly, we'll never see this quality again.
I grew up watching only fools and horses, open all hours, porridge and the all the rest of the classic sitcoms wit my grandparents some of mine best memories
Only fools is one of a very select few comedies I can sit, watch every last one and just start again. Pure comedic genius 🤣😇
This has got to be one of my most favourite only fools moments ever, I can watch it time and again and still laugh all the way through 🤣
Del Boy putting on a Welsh accent 😂😂😂
For a second there I thought you said you loved me 😂
This had me CRYING with laughter😂
@@stefanlazic3640 Tony Angelino lol.

There were lots and lots of great episodes with only fools and horses Comedy at its best l could watch them over and over again 😂
"I don't believe it, the one job that I fancied in the paper and it's mine" 😂😂😂
Playing Old Shep as a call waiting tune, pure classic!
That's a decent Welsh accent! Most people can't do it but David Jason pretty much nailed that.
I spent six years in and around Wales when I was growing up and picked up the accent, moved hundreds of miles away back home and lost the accent, now I can't put it on to save my life but when I (rarely) get angry or pissed-off I start speaking in a really strong Welsh accent, that usually makes people piss themselves laughing and it diffuses the situation. lol 🍻
When most people attempt a welsh accent it comes out sounding Indian.
to be fair his long term partner was welsh so he prob picked it up lol.
Welsh people are pretty good at it
I had no idea that was a Welsh accent lol
Cant really believe its 25 years since Heroes & Villains, Modern Men and Time On Our Hands aired over Christmas, wonderful TV.

They left out the best bit where Rodney tells the 'marketing manager' that he loves him 😂

I’m surprised Del forgave him so quickly when he said “No…. I haven’t got a brother”.
Technically, Del is his half-brother.
@@seanscanlon9067 true! I forgot about that. Rodney’s father was ‘a band’! 😆

You should look at Herlovsen. 😂😂😂
The most beloved foreign tv series in Serbia. ❤ The title in Serbian is Mućke which translates something like Shady business.
Is it dubbed or subtitled or just as in the ordinary english version. I'd be interested in seeing how they could dub such a classic show.
@@mrdarren1045 No, we have subtitles. We dub only cartoons. Del Boy and Rodney are icons here in Serbia, we all know their catch frases.

They're more concerned with identity politics than making good TV these days

The way Del does a northern accent and says his name is Iva, Ivan or Ivor Hardy is great.
When Raquel answers the phone and it cuts to Rodney.
And Del’s response. “What’s he phoning me for, he’s only in the bloody living room.”
😂
The inimitable Uncle Albert, one of the finest ever
Oh man I was thinking of this the other day!!
This is absolutely inspired. The studio audience won't have seen this coming.
My name is Iva Hardy... Del's face!!! 😂😂😂
could of played the full scene , by far one of the best shows ever
Cut the clip just before the punch line. Well done 👏
Taken me until today to realise the holding music was 'old shep'
literally this whole scene makes me proud to be British
How did Rodney not recognise Del's mobile phone number. 😂😂
Or old shep, whilst he's on hold, who else does he know, that likes that song.
My name is Ivor Hardy 😂😂😂
