Wonderful!
Eight minutes twenty seconds of sheer brilliance!
"I was one of the beautiful people" the look on Griffs face, brilliant :-)
..was gonna say the exact same thing! classic..
You are still very much missed Mel.
Mel and Griff were brilliant along with Pam and of cause Rowan Atkinson. I was a Malaysian Chinese studying in London during the late 70s and never miss a show of "Not the 9'Oclock News". They sure don't make comedies like they use to. Brought back fond memories. Thanks for making my day. Hope you can post more Mel & Griff. Cheers mate!
Just came across this clip after many years, hoping the last 13 years have been wonderful for you.
The long pause in the dialogue after Mel's statement at 1:57 is brilliant. Griff's reaction is just priceless.
I love the Beatles' song parodies. They sound great!
Absolutely classic and I love the Neil Innes pisstakes afterwards!
"You've been ugly as sin as long as I've known you." hahahaha Classic. RIP Mr Smith
NTNON brightened my teenage years. Very sad news. RIP Mel.
RIP Mel Smith, such a great comedian :-D, sadly missed :-(
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i only came in here again tonight, as someone had given my comment a thumbs up......ended up watching this whole video again! 😅😅😅 Nearly spat my tea out at that pregnant pause at 2.02!!
Sooooo funny! Spent my childhood watching these two guys 💜💜 RIP Mel....you are really missed xx
Gave you another like, time to come back for another viewing.
Rest in peace Mel, you were the best
This clip is 30 years old. I had forgotten how hilarious these 2 were :)
Mel Smith,George Martin and Alan Freeman All Dead :(
The most under-rated comics ever...
@@cliffordhatton4444 Yes, Clifford.
I am sorry but I have been too busy over the last 4 years to reply.
See you again in 2027....
FIVE YEARS since I wrote that. Doesn't time whizz by?
See you all again in 5 years when I will be well into my 8th decade.
If I don't respond well....
We'll miss you Mel. Thank you for the laughs. x
Just absolutely brilliant 👍👍👍
Amazing just how funny Griff can be without even saying anything RIP Mel sadly missed
These 2 are without a doubt the 2nd best double act in british comedy history EVER...
& I haven't seen this one so thanks!!!
"The evening sounds extremely dull, so I will spend it outta my skull at Georges house."
@MichaelKingsfordGray Really?
No he's getting confused with the Rutles.
Genius. Love the Ringo drumming thing at 7:22
Passed away at 60 years old i believe..By todays standards, thats no age! So sad. R.I.P.
that was my evenings with my dad watching smith and jones :( bit of my youth died today poor Mel Smith
@MichaelKingsfordGray you talking to me? I'm 39 mate
Griff’s Jimi Hendrix impression was absolutely spot on.
Brilliant.
Went to my local park in S E London/Kent around 7 years ago and spoke to a Woman. As an afterthought, as I was leaving,I asked her what she did and she replied that she was a singer. She said her Dad was in a Band. I asked who and it was Jimi !
Miss these guys
THANK YOU - I remember the song from this episode so well even though I only saw it once. The only line from it I could remember was the classic "Damsons Ripen Under Gooseberry Skies". So glad that I have finally managed to find this clip!
Thats all I could remember... Thank Clapton it brought me here.
Mel smith sad he's passed away funny man I like the head to heads
Brilliant Beatles spoof and head to head. Mel lives on -no death!
@MichaelKingsfordGray R i p Neil Innes & Stanshaw
Stanshall.
That mock Beatles song D.R.U.G.S. is fucking ace, yo.
I'm a huge Beatles Fan. This stuff is brilliant. I can take a joke like anyone else. Says you? Who's says there joking. RIP Mel Smith and George Martin. You will be both be badly missed. I hope you were welcomed at the Gates by St Peter. God Bless.
went to see these two in the 1980s in stockport (Davenport Theatre) fantastic loved the head to heads These two could have gone on to even greater things Never be forgotten ! RIP
I remember seeing this long, long, long ago. I always loved that imitation of Sir George Martin.
Thanks for adding this. The laughter goes on guys..!
Is it still continuing 9 years later, Sarah? I, have, often, wondered...
Oh... What a trip down memory lane... I used to love all their stuff from "Not the Nine O'Clock News" to "Alas! Smith and Jones".
The Beatles clip was hilarious - They captured the sound and style well.
Was'nt it, Penny Lane not Memory Lane...
60, is no age to go! Me personally I like to see everybody die of older age, so sad to hear Mel Smith is no longer with us. May you find peace in Heaven Mate.
Somebody commented upon hearing of Mel's death that with his lifestyle he was lucky to reach 60.
That is an excellent Lennon impression.
“I was one of the beautiful people”
RIP good sir thank you for making the world a funnier place to live
Love these 2..so clever
"I read the news this afternoon; it's naughty knickers week in the Saturday sun".
I really wish John had wrote those words ha ha ha.
@Ron Mac95 it is not as much that he wrote, he should have writted them....but, history on that has already been written, writteously 😉 .
It's actually "naughty knickers week in the *soaraway sun".*
_'The soaraway Sun'_ was a 1970's ad schtick used by the tabloid after their sales soared in comparison to _'The Mirror" when they started to include cheesy content and topless Page 3 models. Ads appeared on TV such as: _*__'Don't miss week 2 of Naughty Nina reveals all in the soaraway Sun"._*
Which was basically Nina Carter talking trash about her sex life in serialised form.
I thought he said ‘naughty niggers’ 😂
Thanks for the million laughs, Mel.
I know your post is 7 but when did he die?
@@somethingelse4878 2013 RIP
RIP Mel. Loved the work x
Love these guys
ah, I remember seeing that beatles sketch when I was a little-un in the 80s and loving it :-)
Oasis must've listened to these Beatle tune spoofs. As well as the Rutles.
rest in peace. childhood memories
that Mr Kite parody is actually great
Thank you so much for putting this on. It was from 1987, and was a welcome antidote to the eulogies celebrating the 20th anniversary of Sergeant Pepper. The Pepper spoof left me in agony, as I laughed so hard at the DRUGS song. Kudos too to the great Fluff Freeman for playing his part in this lampoon.
56 years later and we are still eulogising...
Chasing those Rods & Mockers!
Genius this is, so funny.
R.I.P Mel Smith, A sad day
They have actually released a dvd called "At Last Smith & Jones" which features a lot of the best bits from their sketch show.
JenTurtle91 that was the production companies reaction to all of the comments on TH-cam shouting for a release of a DVD from Smith and Jones. About time too.
I love these... So bloody funny...
RIP Mel and RIP Paul
R.I.P Mel. Thxs for the laughs and the menacing acting in Hustle.
I've got that one, it's only a best of though, I'd like every series!
Thanks for all the laughs you gave, R.I.P Mel
RIP Mel,.. thanks for all the laughs. RIP.
RIP Mel . Thanks for the laughs .
'I was in the thick of it'
'What were you, mod or a rocker'
'Neither, I was the deck chair attendant.'
classic stuff
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I read the news this afternoon. ..
amazing, simply amazing!! cant stop laughing..
My favourite Jimi Hendrix track has always been the one that goes "ooooh-raaaagg-ooh-wowwww"
Classic Hendrix
get some "wowpadatow wa-wowella batapowalapowella" into ya
Apart from the lazy Ringo gag , I enjoyed this.
R.I.P. Mel - you were one of a kind.
Devon...😂.....i was a deck chair attendant 😂
The days of watching them, then the next day going around to your relatives house or friends on your YPVS and talking about last nights show
Aye RIP Mel. Thanks for the laughs!
Thanks for the laughs Mel, RIP.
do you have a clip of the film they were in.
i think its called wilt. i loved it as a kid
but cant find it on here.
Alas Smith and Jones, a great duo.
'Rods and mockers' 😂
I remember the D.R.U.G.S. references in the Beatles song .. wow, years since I saw this, thanks for posting it!
Does anyone remember the sketch about a fighting holiday. Can't find it anywhere. I think they are one of the great underrated double acts. The head to heads were very well crafted. How we could do with that now !
Does anyone know who composed/performed the spoof Beatles songs? Neil Innes again?
Yup. The Rutles.
swinging london.
where was that.
devon
I really agree with you. The show "Alas Smith & Jones" was one of my favourites in the late 80`s...or was it in the early
90`s?
Late 80s
For the longest time I remembered that bit with the record playing backwards saying "Paul McCartney's as dead as a doornail."
Oh Mel Smith how I miss you!
Deck chair attendant! :D
My best guess is mid-to-late '80's. Bloody wonderful time for British comedy!
Your best guess at what?
It's like Cook and Dudley brilliant
Anyone remember the smith and jones sketches where they would watch old Roman/ Egyptian films and griff would spot a mel lookalike and then take the piss. Can't seem to find them on here. They were hilarious.
Chris knows they are on TH-cam. I can't find the link right now, but if you type in Smith and Jones ITV you might be lucky.
@@RB747domme.... cheers Clint
Mel: I was a Mod.
Griff: Was you? You're a skinhead now, ain't you?
TheOmanJam I don’t understand 😂
Is it Glenn Tilbrook/Squeeze doing The Beatles parody music?
More please
Great Hendrix impersonation.
D...R...U...G...S....can't stop laughing...I'm sure everyone in the house thinks I'm mad...thanks!
Who did the music? Really sounds like Neil Innes!
@birdie399 That sketch is called 'The Critics'
R.I.P. Mel , you will be missed greatly!
Legend!
❤r.i.p mel smith.
These guys are really funny. Reminds me of Pete and Dud.
Does anyone know where the sketch of Whatever it is I Spit on It.
Just saw your question from 14 years ago.
No,I don't, sorry...
Sad news today. I always used to call these head-to-heads "What's that then?"
what's the name of that one 30min bit where they are on a boat together? Im dying to see it again.
Don't know,sorry. Been thinking about it for 13 years.I will come back to you after further reflection...
@@Isleofskye I don't even remember this bit existing anymore, but I'll keep waiting just in case!
@@Vkmies Thanks for your response , my friend.
I will give it further thought but the reply might not be quite so prompt next time:)
RIP Mel, very sad to see you go. :((
I search for a Smith & Jones sketch within they sit in front of the camera (thea are watching the TV set) and ate everithing there (first the popcorn and then flowers, tie ect.) because it is preoccupy them in 100%. After all (when the show is off in the tv-set) they back out and say: "It vas very boring".
Would you send me this clip?
Gza
Still very funny! God bless Mel.
It`s interesting that you talk about Derek and Clive, I`ve been looking for the track on Ad- neauseum where they swear and Dud gets carried away and says radiator. I do not want to say all the things that I have just...............said.
Definite Irish and West Country influences on the American accent as well.
SOOO FUNNY :-) EVEN NOW.
