Oh dear .... Jodie started expressing an opinion of her own and embarrassed us all.
Her husband should have dealt with her
Or at least looked at her with utter contempt
I would reply but I am laughing way too hard!
She needs to find out how cute and fluffy kittens are.
😂😂😂😂
I know it was filmed in black and white, but it was made in the early 1990's pisstaking the old public information films. Women know your limits became a catchphrase in my school playground after this was on lol.
I can see that! Thanks for sharing.
"I know it's a joke but let's take it seriously".
Fun
Well, we should return to the gold standard. And when you take a look at some of todays (woke) female students ... 😉
This is the essence of British humour in pointing out what is ridiculous in some parts of society and making fun of ourselves "Taking the piss". British comedy will either use sarcasm or over exaggerate stereotypes to highlight sexism, racism, homophobia even when people are not aware they are guilty of thought's or actions.
This is irony, not sarcasm
@@SimSim-zf9if It is indeed irony as it communicates the opposite of what is said. 👍
Thank for explaining humor shared by all cultures and not distinct to Britain whatsoever.
@@johnbeans2000don’t be ridiculous, I’ve watched reaction after reaction of these clips, non-uk people are either totally shocked or clearly don’t understand it or both
@@filthyclown8033 yeah it's generic humour, easiest form of it... britain does generic and easy comedy...
This is a spoof of British "how to behave" films from the 1930s. It helps to understand that there was a serious British "how to behave" film telling people not to run on a city street. In the film, a woman is running on a street when two workmen carrying a large pane of glass was about to turn the corner and collide with the unsuspecting woman.
So glad you recognised it as a joke. It was an appalling state of affairs. You can either get angry about the subject matter or just laugh. Great comedy.
Why would anyone get angry over a woke joke? The only people that would make a fuss are idiots who don't realise it is woke, or reactionaries who would like to create a fuss.
She says she knows its A Joke but then proceeds to ramble on and on about how wrong it is. 🤦♂
Proving the point😂
Harry Enfield pure genius!👍🇬🇧
"I'm a little frigid...." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sorry, I"m too immature to let that one slip by
Anyone of my age (78), remember what the intro music was? "Calling all workers" ? It was certainly at the start of some BBC radio show. "Workers' playtime" or some such.
Comedy from a time, when people weren't so up tight about every little thing. It's time we returned to that, & stopped taking everything so seriously.
It isn't offensive. Even if you are "uptight" about everything, even if you are woke. This is a woke joke. It's kind of sad that you don't realise this.
You do realise this was a documentary right?
@@garyloader1416No it wasn't! 😂
@@happilyeggs4627what are you banging on about? There is NOTHING woke about this sketch
@@happilyeggs4627 This sketch is based in something you obviously have no knowledge of, did you hear that whooshing sound over your head
The good old days when the trains and buses ran on time and the post arrived first thing in the morning and not mid afternoon
I think this kind of British comedy went over your heads a bit. It's an extreme example of an old belief, and the target is the bigoted and ignorant males in the film. This was made back when people could take a joke. Also known as the 90s.
@Nick Sullivan She instantly had her back up. You could see she was trying to keep calm and focus on it being a joke. Which is all it is. There's no malice. No secret undertone of misogyny. Just a joke. People need to get a sense of humour. It didnt need a serious discussion. If you watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail, you dont need a discussion about lack of horses portrayed in the film, or weight carrying limits of birds. ITS JUST A JOKE.
"Hey, why did the chicken cross the road?"
"I dunno, but did you know 10 million birds are killed every year crossing major roads? And what does Biden do to help? NOTHING!"
"Oh, forget it".
She clearly knows its a joke, but if it starts a serious conversation, what does it matter to you? Seems like you're the one getting triggered. Also jokes are usually funny precisely because they hold a grain of truth and I'm sure a lot of women out there have run into the modern equivalent of this situation before, so why not discuss it?
@@johnnyjohnny8636 it doesn't need discussion, it's nothing more than a joke, a joke about attitudes of the past. No more than that. What does need discussing is why they didn't understand the gold standard!
Correct. I don't think they really got the joke either.
This came out in 2008, not the 1990s
This was a time when the BBC were good.
Spits coffee out!
Now then, now then! 🤔
BBC is so woke now there's no chance this would get made.
He missed a moment. "Are you more attracted to intelligent women?" "I don't know, I've never met one." (I'll get my coat........)
One of the reasons this sketch is so good is that the gold standard was a hot topic in the period the sketch is set and the woman's view was a commonly held counter argument to maintaining it.
But you're a Woman....and you knew that????
@@Isleofskye I was born a human but I identify as a mollusc !!
@@sharonsnail2954 Sharon,I am about to end a brief but beautiful friendship,I fear as this very afternoon(truly) after my whole front garden was turned over, 53 snails came to the surface and are now..................😩
Yeah and we did leave the Gold standard didnt we
Molluscs are people too you know.
Its comedy, satire, it really isn't meant to be taken seriously. I am a 65 year old British woman and I have seen this many times and still find it funny.
The self defense mood really kicked in here.. she is great through.x
Hilarious! Humor can achieve in 30 seconds what 30 years of debate and analysis cannot!
Accept the comedy for what it is. It was a 'play' on public information films of the 30/40s in Britain. Made in the 90s, it looks back at the attitudes of a previous generation, and calls them out for what they were, using satire.
You want to accept they knew it was satire.
Very accurate as Harry speaks for the nation.
The good old days!!
Smart women every time. Susie Dent from Countdown is my Dream Girl.
Know your place, Jodi! ♥
Well done for not cringing or being apologetic with this great 50's style sketch - I'm kinda fedup with youtubers having to look over their shoulders at youtubes excessive censoriousness or even being frightened of bad language :)
oooooh dear. I can't help thinking there is a fluffy kitten vacuum at the heart of this channel..................;)
Mate you laughed so hard at some points when your young lady obviously wasn't, I was worried she was going to deck you then and there. Gland you both made it! Thanks for the reaction
It's satire. Clearly so ridiculous it's very funny.
Education in women leads to inflated egos, promiscuity, divorce,that leads to loneliness and a need for cat's.
I am glad you both enjoyed it. He did a few spoofs of those 1930-1950s style info movies.
Harry Enfields Conjugal rights and keep your virtue are equally good
The good old days, when women knew there place!
Good Reaction from this 68-year-old Englishman from South East London. I always "marvel" :) at how ANY pair of Women on a train who have got on the train together can spend the whole journey from start to their destination without a pause. It's quite an "Art", er,I think. Around 3 years ago b4 the pandemic I was the only Guy on a weekday train and there were 5 pairs of Women on the train around me and I never saw a pause in any of their conversations for the 25 minutes I accompanied them all:)
THAT WAS a loaded question. What is he going to say ?? "I prefer dumb Women!". What would his companion think as she is with him:)
Women gossip about their neighbors, on this same train men read newspapers about neighboring nations. They are doing the same thing, only the radius is different.
Men do betting, in a hope to get something. Women do make up for the very same reason.
@@MarioPetrinovich Yes, but in your example, Men or Women reading newspapers are peaceful. 10 Women all talking at the same time,are anything but peaceful:)
Oh, the 1940s perfectly encapsulated in piss taking form. It's not really something to be seriously debated but laughed at.
Nick, you gave Jodi to much air time...haha
I so enjoyed watching Jodi reacting to this. You had much the same reaction as my friend Christine did when we watched it together when it first aired on the BBC. Its a very funny sketch with ludicrously outdated opinions of course.
Has Christine watched anything else lately?
Christine was the oldest looking bearded lady
It’s just a comedy piece guys, lighten up. Plus it’s from a couple of decades ago.
My wife spoke to me the other day. The doctor said that it's probably a hormonal issue.
If only you answered her question of do you want an intelligent woman ,with ‘ no I’m happy with you ‘ her reaction would have been priceless
There's a series of these scenarios worth watching...
When I need a quick laugh,I always choose this!
From the "no,no" coming from Jodie,it's just very well taken insults but in the absolute best way by Jodie!👏🏼🤣
Nice save at the end too!😉🤣
My Mother watched this when it first came she used to laugh at it but tell me in the late 1950,s things where really like that but started to change in the 1960,s,
I absolutely love Jodi's reaction. I know some ladies that would have shut this off big time. We all know it's a joke but they are making jokes about things that were happening back then, unfortunately. However, the men would have never brought that up around the women because after dinner they always had their cocktails and cigars for men only where this subject would be talked about. So, while this skit does it in the women's face, back in the day men used to just do it behind their back. It was like :go talk about your embroidery and crochet while we talk about important matters." Never see that today. I like an intelligent woman. My wife is a Tech Writer and Author and she can definitely hold her own in conversation.
Don't be drawn in, it's a pisstake 😂😂
Most important thing is a sense of humour !
There are women who think they're smart... 😮
😂
❤ from Northeast England ❤️
What in carnation?! Men gossip every bit as much as women do 😂🤣😆
I am 68 in London and we are living in parallel universes. lol
I have worked with many Men since 1971 and in most cases,I don't even know their Partners' or Children's names.
I have worked with a positive plethora of Women in the Private Industry,16 years in a Nationalised Industry, The Civil Service, and 3 Local Councils and, usually, within a week I know their neighbour's cousin's cat's name..:)
@@Isleofskye But ask women about leaders of neighboring countries. Every gender does its job, women take care about neighborhood, men take care about neighboring nations.
I'm pleased you explained to us that it was just a joke. I've always thought it was a public information film. 🤔
so true!
johnny depp was a big fan of these guys. you should react to his appearance on The Fast Show.
There's a difference between a smart woman and a headstrong woman
England used the gold standard, instead of the £ pound. England are still using the pound today, so that proves she was right! This time!!! 😂
Most countries actually used the gold standard. Paper money couldn't be printed beyond what gold a country had. Britain stopped using it 1931 the USA in 1933. France, Switzerland, Italy and Belgium in 1936. Germany actually stopped it during World War 1 - they printed bonds in expectation of a German victory and the losers paying their war costs. They went back to it and desperately tried propping up their currency before admitting defeat in the same year as Britain
@@chrisdavies9821 From all the information that you kindly sent my way, are you saying that "women should know their limits?" 😂🤣
The good old days men were happy, women were happy to stay home looking after the home and children, the husband was happy working knowing he had a dutiful loving wife at home and most of all the children were happy. Wheres the wrong in that?
Many guys are attracted to smart women because they can have a decent conversation and share interests. However she must have a kind, nurturing nature as well.
ah you will have to watch the other ones now: 'Women Keep Your Virtue' and 'Women for Pity Sake Don't Drive'
Definitely!
Right out of the gates with an Indiana Jones reference... Nice ;-)
Strong intelligent women every time.
What's hilarious is that historically she was right to say Britain should move away from the gold standard 🤣
Wrong, do you prefer Bitcoin ? 🤣🤣
So you think inflation is a good thing?

Will Americans ever get sarcasm? It's meant to be ludicrous/ironic. Classic British silliness.
They are talking about the "Gold Standard" - it's about finance.
Just to help:
The gold standard is a monetary system in which the value of a country's currency is directly linked to gold. With the gold standard, countries agree to convert paper money into a fixed amount of gold. A country that uses the gold standard sets a price for gold, and it buys and sells gold at that price.
Just watching this together with the wife may earn you a night on the couch 😄
When she reacted he should have turned to her and said;
"Woman know your limits" !!! 😡
That would have been awesome.🤣
The funny thing is the woman actually said the most intelligent thing in that conversation
Jodi.... KNOW YOUR LIMITS!
My wife is small and cute and when I met her she wore big glasses and her sisters called her Boffin Spice, she’s super smart and enthusiastic and that’s what makes me love her. Smart comes first, cute is a bonus.
Educational and informative.
LOL! Rude and Hilarious!
Women want an old fashioned man but cant seem to figure it out that men want an old fashioned woman.
Intelligence is a vital part of character and is incredibly attractive.
Please don’t refer to Britain as England, it’s not the same thing.
You expect an American to know an ounce of Geography. ; )
Has anyone let the English know?
Yep…Like Arkansas is the south and Main is the North. There ya go…America done!😂
England is a country in its own right and its only pathetic Celts who can't stand it when she is singled out and mentioned leading to hilariously feeble protestations of "What about Scotland?" 😂😂😂
Jealousy has led to a complete and utter trait of inferiority in all Jocks and every single one seethes when England is recognised as existing 😂😂😂 🏴
@@nolongerlistlessEr.... we are well aware of the ponce countries our wages are taxed for, ta.... 🏴
One of the "venomous harridans" is BAFTA and Cannes award-winning actress Kathy Burke. :D
That is a wild and dangerous opinion!
Kittens are fine, most wimmin are nuts lmao :D
I think you completely missed that this was a satirical swipe at those old public information films from the 1930s, 40s and 50s, including their tone and the attitudes they embodied. :)
Of course they knew, when they said this wasn't too far from what did happen. As in how stupid the real public information films were.
Try out "Harry Enfield Women Keep Your Virtue"
There's a difference between an intelligent woman and one that needs to contradict or compete all the time. Nothing wrong with being nice or acting 'feminine'.
i love harry enfields videos - signed A WOMAN!..thats a guys who champions womens rights!!!
By showing how absurd not having them is
thats the way to protest anything you really object to in the best way!
It's A JOKKE SATIRE NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
The guy's laughter was one of the most HONEST things I've seen in a long time: no snowflakey low-testosterone undergraduate BS about satirising-the-sexist-attitudes-of-the-Dark-Ages-before-Feminism etc etc etc (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz). He laughed because it was FUNNY - and so, I bet, did most of the men in the audience. End of...!
It is making a mockery of what was the accepted view of behavioural norms in I guess the 50s and back. Hilarious 💪
Oh yeah, intellect attracts. That and a strong personality.
The 'thing' with European satire (mostly Swedish/English) is that it strikes in the right direction, upwards. Let us experience past 'sins'. SOME (read militant feminists) take it literally
Seemed to make perfect sense to me I believe the latest research suggests if women receive too much education it raises their testosterone levels significantly and causes beard growth and general unattractiveness, ah well girls can't be helped.
PMSL
Most normal people really don't care if someone is intelligent or more average, as long as they make each other smile laugh etc i think that is what most people end up being more attracted too and invested in when around potential partners.
So true!!
Well men definitely don’t care. Women on the other hand do find intelligence attractive (at least someone more intelligent than them.)
the irony is there were actually public infomation films like that in the 40`s , 50`s, which this is based on, if yo udidnt know this was a sketch you would probably beleive it. genius.
Ha ha, that was funny watching that build. Harry Enfield is great, you should check out his character Kevin, when he becomes a teenager.
Although I loved this. Next time you react to music,PLEASE check out Sydnie Christmas in Britains Got Talent. It’s an old but well known song,but her version JUST might blow your mind. It’s “Tomorrow” from a brilliant American film. Do it,PLEASE!!!
The govt and bbc still tell us how to behave now. C19 was a good example
The sound of air wooshing overhead.
on ships in disaster... why is it women and children first? so that men can think of a solution in piece! ;) lol
I remember government public information films of the 1950's and they were nothing like as "wacky" as this very funny spoof. They were usually about encouraging safe driving, not dropping litter, taking care crossing the road etc etc. and actually worthwhile. They encouraged people to have a social conscience rather than manifest selfish behaviour which is so prevalent today.

Yes,but this was a Public Improvement Film though:)
After 2:40
Minutes of useless waffle, you’ll enjoy the comedy. You guys really love hearing your own voices.
Please review the fast show with Paul Whitehouse, playing the very very drunk aristocrat.
It's a JOKE!! for goodness sake....😂😂😂😂
Ahhhh the good old days
Whoosh, there it goes, look up…missed it
I don't know why this video, and some other random videos were coming up my search results for *Bad Boy Chiller Crew* a few minutes ago, and I don't know why you mainly seem to react to Bollywood stuff, however...
Check out: *Bad Boy Chiller Crew - BMW (French The Kid, MIST, Bugzy Malone Remix)*
It's currently trending at *number 1* on *TH-cam Music UK.* It's spent all of the last 10 weeks since its release trending in the top 4 on *TH-cam Music UK,* with 8 of those 10 weeks split 50/50 between *1st and 2nd place.*
The *Bad Boy Chiller Crew* are from *Bradford* where half-Pakistani Asians like *Zayn Malik* and *Dynamo* magician are from.
Some other *Asian artists* from *Bradford* include: *Blazer Boccle, S-Dog, G Bugz, Blocka, HD, Yung C, Kingz 365, T-Zer, SK21, H3 Sparta, Faisal, Fusion* etc, and biggest of all the Sikh brothers *RDB Rhythm Dhol Bass* (Surj RDB, Manj Musik, and the late Kuly) who have collaborated with people like *Snoop Dogg* and *Ludacris,* and produce music for *Bollywood Films.*
SIMP out to Jodi not getting its self mocking.
This is done in the style of British TV public information films of the 1940s and 1950s
Gold Standard: The value of the UK Pound was tied to the value of gold. This became restrictive to business so was dropped
You mean, men dropped it? This video is a fake, women had nothing to do with this.
Temple of Doom............DUH!!!
