Just a glimpse of Paul Whitehouse's ears in this sketch makes me smile. Enfield and Whitehouse do approach genius. How they stopped themselves laughing in these programmes, I never knew!
"Go round his house and trick him into contravening article 73 of the UN security resolution so that he incurs the wrath of the worlds major military powers" 😂😂😂
United Nations Security Council Resolution 73, adopted on August 11, 1949, noted with satisfaction the Armistice Agreements between the parties involved in the 1948 conflict in Palestine and then expressed the hope that a final settlement of all questions outstanding between the parties might be achieved soon. Plumber wants to trick the husband into re-igniting the First Arab-Israeli War :D
The funny thing is Paul whitehouse was a handyman/Plasterer with Charlie Higsons when he met Harry Enfield and making it big. Still working as a handyman during the daytime and in a punk/funk band in the evenings, when his first comedy work came in, mostly writing for Harry initially. (They did work for Hugh Laurie's and Stephen Fry's house when they were spotted for their talent)
You wanna wake up really early in the morning and take his dog out for a really long walk so later he tries to take it out and he don’t want to go and he’s flummoxed.
That is exactly how those builders behave, well spoken or not so well spoken. You have a simple problem and they want charge 100x what it should cost you.
Harry Enfield got this to the tee (Big talker and dumb assistant team "professionals") Ah those were the good old days before you had youtube to check what the con merchant was saying was actually true! 😂 Plenty of those builders and plumbers around even now!
no, not really, that punch line would have been seen coming almost from the first. The punch line works because it was her husband AND it gets the hubby killed for doing a lousy job!
I got away light with my Builder, he only wanted 6 sugars in his teas. I wonder if a proportionately high number of Builders suffer from Diabetes in later life? I suspect the Bacon Butties and large quantities of Lager doesn't help the figures.

Seems like an English class war sketch. You could turn this on its head and ask why a middle class householder would be so inept as to not know how to fix a dripping tap for themselves.
It's just dawned on me that, if what my police friend says about crack heads is true, then Lee and Lance's penchant for sugar surely implicates them as crack heads! My whole life, a sweet innocent lie!
Nah, I'm told builders on sites used to make tea a very simple way. Boiled water, box of tea bags and a bag of sugar thrown together in a bucket. I had a great uncle took 4 teaspoons of sugar in his tea. He was called Eddie the Builder (there was more than one Eddie), but he was never a builder. He worked for the City Council's water & sewage dept.
@@capnskiddies nah a Cement mixer was used; specifically for making the tea. Had to be manned by 6 people one for the boiling water, one for the box of tea, one for the bag of sugar, one to turn on the cement mixer, one to keep the fire lit so it brewed and one to lean against a shovel. I was one of those men. Important job we had. Important job we did. Did we get any thanks? Nope. The cunts drank their tea without a thankyou or a ohh this tea is great.

Harry Enfield, and Paul Whitehouse, are brilliant,
BRRIIILLLLIIIIAAAAANNTT!!!!
The attention to detail is amazing. See how the simpleton is a Spurs fan? So realistic.
Coming from a gooner I wouldn't expect anything less.

Go round his house & paint all his light bulbs black so when he turns 'em on it actually gets darker...
That has kept me laughing for years..!!!
I was waiting for her to say actually it’s the tap upstairs that’s leaking

This is what builders are actually like
I like the lightbulb joke.

Nice
This sounds very familiar. I'm sure I've heard this in a comedy sketch before.
How much do you normally charge for a flummox?
Better grab some two-bee-forby-two-bee-forby!
When the BBC aired great comedy. This is pure comedy genius
Best sketch show ever
Cowboy Builders, great show.
Back when the bbc was worth the license fee.
It was never worth it.
What license fee?
Never worth it pal , if it were subscription based they'd have gone bust years ago .

Miss the good old days when TV was worth watching
Theres absolutely no decent sketch show comedy anymore. I'm sure Little Britain was the last one.
its like everything. you dont realize what we had until its gone. its almost impossibe to find comedy anymore. funny is a thing long gone pal.
There's a lot of funny people doing their own comedy sketches on youtube so at least there's that.
Oh bore off
....yeah, there's always somebody offended these days, or it's unfunny woke stuff.
"..I mean, 'oo done nat? 'Oo done nat?" lol!!
Really funny this love it
Genius and so true !
British comedy best in the world
Buy somebody an ice cream and hide slugs in it. 🤣🤣
This is a classic.
I wish they would make a comeback show?
Time we had a good laugh again!
Paul crombles. Yes i agree with you. Fed up with depressing stuff like war zones all the time.
@@whattheduck3615 True, now is a good time to send our leaders up once and for all?

As someone whose house actually had that problem ("had to redo the whole fing") because of a leak, this triggers me.

Sam 2014 car mechanics too.
They don't charge you what a job is worth they charge what they think they can get out of you.....thieving bastards...
Makes me laugh - who dun that ? Don't know how they keep a straight face lol 🤣
Ah classic cowboys on the job.
they have to start with slagging off the previous one
Who done that?!
So to hear, they are Americans
Writing down info on your cig packet, dont know why but that sent me back
I had one of those Raiders hats.

If you will not bankrupt on builders, you definitely will on tea cups.
This is also funny as Paul used to be a plasterer :P
Yep, I can vouch for that because my mate Gary Hall worked with him 👌

Michael Devlin In a wholly positive light.

A true and accurate description......
Want dat raiders hat!
@ReZaH05 True that !
Punch line should have been "but you did it last year"
no, not really, that punch line would have been seen coming almost from the first. The punch line works because it was her husband AND it gets the hubby killed for doing a lousy job!
That joke is in the sketch already.."Who done that? It wasn't us by the way, was it?"
I have dealt with these people
Arrrr the 90s
Ohhhhh dear, dear old BBC. What did you do to your selves
I thought that thumbnail was a very sick Joseph Gordon Levitt
So typically real
Alrite love is your husband in? No! Good! Classic 😉
I always wonder if Harry's reference to his mate "Gripper" was referencing Gripper Stebson
The same joker put those copper pipes up the wall. I mean who done that? The whole wall's going to have to come down to conceal the pipes.
When will these all be on DVD!
When we have time travel to when people bought DVDs.
@@ktkee7161 It's five years later and sales of DVDs in the UK last year were £91.8 million.
