Everyone should be sweating: letting a woman express such foolish opinions is not only dangerous, it's also harmful to the young generations ! Did you know that now, some women think they are entitled to vote ?
I don't care who reacts to it as long as they get who the target of the joke is. The amount of people i've seen react to this on here or in person get offended thinking it's taking the piss out of women, when it's taking the mick out of those who had those views lol
This was a comedic parody of what was perceived as English upper classes in the 20's, 30's & 40's. Harry Enfield's intention was to cast ridicule upon the times & social impressions of days long past lol Your reaction is priceless & likely indicative of many Americans seeing this for the 1st time. We English are always prepared to poke fun at ourselves especially at our colonial past. 🤣
Unlike the Scottish, who were every bit as involved in the British Empire as we were, although England is always singled out like it was only us responsible. It would have been the English Empire if that were the case.
It makes me smile, these days we have profanity everywhere, passing itself off as humour, and to see this now genuinely shocking a younger generation and may I say, a lot of our friends from across the pond is a joy, really. Harry Enfield an extraordinary talent, with a string of characters he would inhabit, along with his sidekick, Paul Whitehouse, they would have us in stitches during the '90's. So glad you enjoy it!😆
Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse are two of britains best comedy actors. They make fun of everything about British culture. Rich people to slobs to footballers. Check out “the slobs win the lottery”, “julio geordio” and “loadsa money”
Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse produced fantastic comedy series for the BBC and yes there is plenty more of these parodies of public information films, do source them out. I am so glad you enjoy them.loved your reaction.
Bless you. This is quite old now but there's not many a person fom the UK would be shocked by this. It is "Theatre of the absurd" hillarious because people did used to think like this - ridiculous
Over the decades I have known more than a few Women Bosses who heed to this and even if you look at our Female PMs we can see them, totally surrounded by Men like Maggie Thatcher, over her 3 terms and Theresa May. The brightest and most intelligent Woman I ever knew in my 69 years(this week) was one of the first Female Civil Engineers to get a First Class Degree from Imperial College, London and she would have nothing to do with Women at all....:)
In the UK we grow up on this kind of stuff it’s irony and is meant for us to see the absurdity of yes as you say how people did think in recent history but now we can see how ridiculous we were and how we have moved on. We also should learn not to take ourselves too literally .
I couldn't believe this was a parody. It just seems to hit the mark perfectly. A lot of these deranged women have entered the political arena and have even been in charge of motor vehicles ffs!
I absolutely LOVE it when Mr. L Boyd loses his marbles!!! Misery is an instant classic. Especially that hobbling scene!!! I locked myself in my room for a month! At least! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is amazing feminist satire, from 90's UK comedy. :) I'd make this joke, over and over and over as us men are the butt of it. This is Enfield and Whitehouse. You should check out Whitehouse's new incarnation. I's stunning. He has a friend in comedy, for may years who unexpectedly had to undergo extensive heart surgery. Whitehouse has also done through it. He took his friend, Bob Mortimer out fishing (Whitehall's life passion) to try and help him. The resild is a BBC series that is a thing of beauty. Stunning scenery, unparalleled friendship and also a champion of mental health as well as men's health. I think it's on its 5th series now. If you want to see the antidote to reality TV, this is it. It's a thing of kindness, lifelong friendship and beauty; by two ld men. :)
Sadly, many people today will see the subject/topic of a comedy sketch and instantly condemn it. The joke here isn't mocking women, it's actually taking aim at how women were treated/perceived by society while mocking those who still think this way. The woman in question was correct (if I remember correctly) when giving her opinion on the economy, hardly a harridan... although there may be some truth behind the beard growth thing.
Not really. That's the perception, and sure, there were ignorant assholes, but all you have to do is watch movies and read books actually written in those eras. Obviously there are things in them that still offend modern sensibilities, and there are some that fit the stereotype, but actually think about some of the popular media with female leads. The Wizard of Oz came out in 1939, and is primarily about a young girl being more observant and confident than those around her, bringing out the best in others and outsmarting the old man pretending to be something he's not. Then you have movies like Adam's Rib in 1949 where you have a husband and wife lawyer pair on opposite sides of a case, or Donna Reed's character in It's a Wonderful life whose quick thinking saves her husband's small savings and loan when there's a run on the banks. While these characatures of the time period and some of the more ignorant people in them are funny, we need to be mindful that they are actually characaturs and not an accurate representation.
Us Brits often say that Americans don't understand irony. Actually, most do. I find it almost impossible to believe that you don't understand what's happening here. Surely, you've got to be kidding. No one over the age of 12 is that naive. 😵💫
Theres a lot going on in this sketch. Attitudes were like this back in the day, it’s a bit of a satirical history lesson. Public information/improvement films did exist to teach us how to be ‘correct’. But this was also a comment on the British Empire with its top down, ‘we know we’re right’ hierarchy’s, laced with the class and misogynistic attitudes of the day. It’s just bloody funny.
Glad you like Mr Cholmondley Warner! If you love this kind of stuff, British comedy is full of this stuff. We've got DECADES of this king of humour! I do think British subtlety in comedy is very hard to surpass. With the possible exception of Bill Hicks. Check Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse they made many series. Including the Fast Show. It was many years ago.
This was made in the 90's.. It's a comedy spoof made in black and white to look old.. Clearly you were fooled by it.. Obviously British comedy fans knew because this is just one of many comedy sketches produced by Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse..
HaHaHa. You were trying so hard no to laugh. This a clip from a legendary British sketch show. Clearly satiring how ridiculous things were in the early part of the 20th century.
I am old enough to have been told by my grandmother not to “show off” because no one would want to marry me. 🙄 The thing with jokes is who is the butt of it. In this video, it’s entrenched misogyny. In, for instance, Blazing Saddles, it was racism. Anyone who used the n-word was unquestionably the bad guy
You know what's really sad, that people can't tell the difference between who's being joked about anymore :/ Like in Tropic Thunder the joke about RDJs character is that he is so stupid that he thinks blackface is okay but somehow that gets twisted into "wow tropic thunder is super racist"😅😅
That's the problem of today- watching old material with new attitudes. It's not meant to be taken seriously- and if anything highlights old attitudes in a funny light- just take it for what it is...
British comedy at it's best in an era when people weren't offended by EVERYTHING. I love to see the woke PC brigade getting offended by comedy like this , it makes me smile 😊.
It's not from the 50's, it is just made to look that way. It's from...what, 2010 ish, maybe a few years earlier from Harry Enfield's show with Paul Whitehouse who was in "The Fast Show" which has some genius moments in it.
It starts by saying "Public IMPROVEMENT Film" which parodied the 1950s "Public ANNOUNCEMENT Films". I am not sure your audience saw the expressions due to the blurred screen that does not appear on any other reaction to this. lol "Women Drivers" is another by Harry Enfield that is in the same comedic vein. The BBC:The British Broadcasting Corporation has been the most prestigious in The World for the last 70+ years,my friend...:)
That's the way it was back in the day. Comedians were free to have a go at pretty much anything provided it got a laugh. Though to be fair, the US had their share too. George Carlin springs to mind. Being able to laugh at ourselves is probably a healthy state of affairs.
Americans are shocked and upset over most British jokes. It's a joke enjoy it. And the culture of the British is they don't take themselves so seriously,
I do remember seeing that & believe it or not, I remember seeing that show broadcast in the mid 90's. The most funny thing today is that this joke is quite relevant for today (perfect example wNBA). I also see how some female soldiers think that they can take on a man & win when, in actual fact, they really don't. Some women nowadays just want to run their mouths yet funnily enough you've got this joke which shockingly blunt & to the point (& for that you do have to agree that is genius) but if anyone were to even try & say such a thing today they would be cancelled immediately.
This is utterly hilarious. It's a spoof of the public information films of the 1950s, which were kind of similar to this, but Harry Enfield has taken it to the extreme and it's so so funny and well done. This was done in the 90s when people still recognised satire and had a sense of humour.
irony & satire is lost on Americans. I’ve lived here for over 22 years and I can count on two fingers the number of ‘reactions’ that really get humor like this…
This is a study on the absolute absurdity of the way old information films were constructed. It's a subtle and beautiful attack on the misogyny of old. The only people who should be offended by this is misogynists and to me that's fair game!!!
Wait till he reacts to the sketch about David Cameron probably being a queer, his mind is gonna blow 🤯 or even better react to Brass eye 'good aids' sketch.

In Europe people still understand that. ;)
