@@chrisjones2224 Oh, you've just reminded me. As an ex-engineer myself, I was on the receiving end of a particularly stinging critique some years ago. Right. I'll go and find the responsible party. When it comes to court this is your fault. 🙂
Yorkshire bloke here, born and bred, and I've been laughing at that sketch for years 😁👌we love a good laugh in Yorkshire. Also, check out the Yorkshire airlines sketch, by Hale & Pace.
There is a saying that "you can always tell a Yorkshireman, you just cannot tell him much". Jeremy Hardy (an excellent comedian no longer with us) said "A Yorkshireman is a man with a sense of unjustified self-confidence". I have lived in Yorkshire most of my 65 years and i would not live anywhere else. It is truly Gods own county.
So fucking good. Love Harry Enfiled.He has a nack of somehow 'making fun' out of one demographic, whilst also making fun out of another...you're not 'quite' sure that he's actually targeting anyone! Very good!
Nothing wrong with straightforward talking, better someone slags you off to your face than be a slimy backstabber. My father in law was Northern and not only did I know it😂 but I would have trusted the man with my life, no nonsense firm, fair, proper bloke. ✌️
"Eey-oop, tha's a reet a'peth!" - not sure if I've spelled that correctly (I'm Scottish) but that's what my Yorkshire mate used to say if anything went wrong at work.
Nowt wrong with us Yorkshire folk !! - just like the the Scots but with all of the generosity removed !😄👍...but seriously if you're over in the UK anytime...then Yorkshire is certainly the place to go with all of it's diverse culture and geography. What ever happened to Harry Enfield I wonder ?
As a Northerner this paints us as very abrasive & confrontational, bollocks! I've been on the tube in London during the Challenge Cup (Rugby League) & we've managed to get people that wouldn't normally look at each on the same journey every day SINGING with us! Northerners are very friendly & Southerners take it as intrusive because they're not used to interacting with strangers. It's practically rude if you don't start up a random conversation at a bus stop, pub bar or uniral where we come from 😊 The following 2 minute clip explains this more than I ever could & its by the BBC which is wierd? Lol Northener says hello : th-cam.com/video/PT0ay9u1gg4/w-d-xo.html
Its a comedy sketch, naturally taking stereotypes, both of Yorkshire and Southern ad agency yuppy types...to an extreme example for comedic effect. Its why its funny...it isnt a documentary about northerners. I find your picture of Northeners/Southeners as a bit of a broad sweeping statement. I've met people from all over the UK who fit into either camp, not based on geography at all...they are just individuals
@@neilanderson6280 have to agree to disagree, yes it's a stereotype but these aren't extreme, they are based on real people, but i know characters like & far worse than these ones! The TV has guidelines to stick too, real life doesn't! Also you talk like I've been nowhere & met no one? I've been visiting London yearly for over 40 years! I've served all over the world and didn't just meet these 'stereotypes', I lived with them, sometimes for years. I stand by my statement, in general Northerners are more friendly. Oh & thanks for pointing out it was a comedy sketch, I wondered why they'd put a laughter track on a documentary? As George Whitebread would say 'no offence pal'. 😉
Yorkshireman here; This is EXACTLY how us Yorkshire tykes are, if anything it's understated.
I'm from Yorkshire
I concur
This is true
Or at least was back in the day in the 80s and 90s
The Great Harry Enfield back in the day when comedy was real good.
As a Yorkshireman, I approve!👍👍👍
As a Lancastrian, I don't believe you ;)
As a Vulcan it's ilogical
ive been to leeds many a time and it is sophisticated
I think he is a bit too sophisticated for a Yorkshireman

That's inarguable.
Although I am somewhat upset that engineers can get upset.
Costumiers, certainly.
Architects, maybe.
Engineers though? 😀

It’s cos they’re a bunch of big southern Jessie’s that’s why 😂😂😂
"So-phis-stication?" 'Ave bin tuh Leeds.
Priceless!!
You can tell a Yorkshireman but you can’t tell him much !!!!!!
I know this sketch word for word, one of my all time favourites.
That wasn't comedy, it was a documentary

Morley man here. Bloody reet mate!

As a Northerner living in the South, we are definitely considered to be a bit too blue.
Yorkshire lad .Harry got it right
Try out Dr George Whitebread Group Therapy. Another beauty from Harry Enfield. Another beauty is Hale and Pace Yorkshire Airlines.
I have an uncle in Yorkshire. His vocabulary barely stretches beyond “Mmmm” “Ahhh” and “Appen” .
Ere lad shut thi gob
So fucking good. Love Harry Enfiled.He has a nack of somehow 'making fun' out of one demographic, whilst also making fun out of another...you're not 'quite' sure that he's actually targeting anyone! Very good!
You can't go wrong with Harry, or a Yorkshireman
Harry Enfield has given us 1000’s of hours of comedy
A rampant yorkshireman
Brilliant and that is from a Yorkshire man 👍
Ah say what Ah like, and Ah like wot a bluddy well say! Brilliant.
Abit exaggerated but true. Not all of us are like it but a small few are. One bit he kinda got wrong was him saying "right" instead of reight.
Aye Lad
Thamuntalta yungun!

As a Yorkshireman I`d say that`s abaat reet!
Short clip, short reaction DAMN
We are trying something with short clips. Let me know what you think.
@@bradlucy great clip, great reaction, I just wanted to hear more of what YOU think!!! At the end I mean, just a few extra minutes ya know?
@@natmanprime4295 agreed we are here for them
"Eey-oop, tha's a reet a'peth!" - not sure if I've spelled that correctly (I'm Scottish) but that's what my Yorkshire mate used to say if anything went wrong at work.
"You'll never play for Yorkshire... no offence"
Well in the end they started playing for Yorkshire but just got abused
It seems it was an overall culture of abuse that Azeem Rafiq was also a part of? That said...this now seems somewhat prophetic
@@neilanderson6280yep owd rafiq was as bad as the others he was complaining about …but as usual the brown nosers clambered around him ..
Even Botham move his Mrs when pregnant so his lad could play for Yorkshire. Rules changed and he wasn't good enough, played for Hampshire.
As a English man, I approve to👍
We don't mince our words up north lol.
Nowt wrong with us Yorkshire folk !! - just like the the Scots but with all of the generosity removed !😄👍...but seriously if you're over in the UK anytime...then Yorkshire is certainly the place to go with all of it's diverse culture and geography. What ever happened to Harry Enfield I wonder ?
What happened to him? He moved to Yorkshire, that's what! :)
Where's Father Ted!

It's in copyright purgatory. Hopefully they release it soon
@@bradlucy Ok, thanks. I know we fans can be a pain in the ass but this is truly one of the all time great sitcoms as many polls have shown.
