"You killed a 100,000 people? You must get up very early in the morning"
This gets me every time.
''Just don't go into that fucking house!''
I first saw this on HBO in the 90s and this whole bit still gets me.
My favorite part is ' ' WELL were out of cake! ' ' ' ' so my choices are or death? ' '

Eddie Izzard. It's like a one man Monty Python.
John Cleese dubbed him the Lost Python.
brainflash1 Did he really? What an honour.
I saw a show recapping his life and apparently Eddie always wanted to be like Monty Python
@@tiaking2002 there is an interview where eddie walks up with the python on stage :D Monty Python : Live At Aspen - part 1 and they call him out and kick him off the stage lol, as a joke.
He's a huge Python Fan.
"Thank you for flying Church of England, cake or death?" is one of those legendary phrases that taken out of context would have you admitted at a psychiatric hospital, but as an inside joke it's brilliant
"NO FLAG NO COUNTRY" and "cake or death?" get me every time 😂😂😂
And the Death Star canteen
All great but the "You Nazi shithead" wins it for me.
Me too😂
"I know a lot of people who'd love to be under House Arrest!"
Yeah, 2020 calling here, funny you should mention that...
\o I have been under house arrest since Christmas and it suits me :)
Lmao! U got this Kasper!!!
True that, 2020 is the year of perfect hindsight. History books have to be rewritten while we enjoy such blissful enlightenment. Next year will be too late, we may need to correct our vision.
yes yes. Was looking for such a comment efter he mentions it xD
90s "have you got any videos? " 2020 : "Yeah I've got Netflix , Prime and TH-cam"
The fact he gave a legitimate Risk strategy is great.
one of two - either Australia or South America - only viable starting points...
who else had this show up because Game Grumps recently talked about Eddie and this skit in particular?
Also much love to Eddie, always
Yo 😎
I was wondering that
Very monty python esk 🤣🤣
Yup yup :)
Saaaaame 😂
"After a couple of years we won't stand for that, will we?"
I watched this when it came out...some 18-19 years ago or so, and once or twice since then. Hearing that line again just now made me burst out laughing. Eddie is a brilliant comedian!
@David Price try 22 years ago... let that sink in - it was over two decades ago.
😆we’re so old!
love that little side joke a lot of the crowd seemed to miss it
@@tonywords6713 I didn't get it
It's in regards to the Allies (America in particular) essentially ignoring what Germany was up to until their hand was all but forced by Pearl Harbor and etc
Dude, my gmail has been cakeordeath since middle school because of this person. I cherish this bit.
Brilliant
I have mr stephens you'll need a tray!!!
"You cant claim this we live here. 500,000,000 of us."
"Do you have a flag?"
why do you think america had a flag first thing none of the indians did that was there problem not ours we had like 30 revisions
🤣😂🤣
😛
@@hardwirecars american flag was created in 1777. They screwed over the indians way before that.
@@SithBunny1 Who is "they".
"We're going to run out of cake at this rate....."
Didn't expect such a rush
Yup
I choose death.
@@medexamtoolsdotcom I MEAN CAKE CAKE
I’ve met Eddie twice, what a funny, cool intelligent guy. So so nice and always has time for his fans. Not to mention the work he does for charity
Shame he's a socialist though.
@@swisstony736 the charity kind of implies that, you Nazi shithead
@David McDonald k
Ted Jones fuck socialism and fuck anyone who defends socialism
@@lyricbot8513 NAZIS were SOCIALISTS, dumb dumb
"Get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death... death.... lunch."
Funniest line in the whole routine.
What no breakfast how can you have the energy for a full day of death?
Eddie Izzard is clearly very knowledgeable and I love how he turns this into great satire... the mounting Pythonesque absurdity of "cake or death" is just brilliant!
Also his smokey eye is on point.
Alley Cat was thinking how he rocked that look before it was a thing.
👏👏👏
Alas not knowledgeable enough to know that Hitler never personally killed anyone.
"Pythonesque"? I really don't get the connection. I know he's said he was a big fan but, in my opinion, he's way too funny to be associated with them.
@@baldieman64 And the timestamp for where he said "Hitler personally killed those people" would be?
I can go months to years without watching this. And then it just shows up and I'm cracking up all over again. Eddie, you're the best.
He was excellent in "Valkyrie". It came as no surprise to see him in such an interesting role, either.
“Hitler never played Risk as Kid.......” 😂
Rich, coming from a British person . The Brits also tried their hand at running multiple wars on two fronts : "hey, fighting Napoleon isn't enough, let's stir up that old colony we lost just 30 years ago!"
@@nettils5555 Porbably time to get a dictionary or google the word history so you understand that's what Lena was talking about
Lena should probably get inside a cave and come out 200 years ago, when all who lived during Second World War have been gone.
It’s unacceptable that she tries to shift attention from what Germany did during this century, to other matters, that are well in the past.
How dare she
*after, not ago 🤪
@@InternalMind History: Definition 1. the study of past events, particularly in human affairs.
2. the whole series of past events connected with someone or something.
And both of them described History and the "PAST" being "Long Time Ago" makes perfect sense: Because of the Napoleonic Wars & 1812 being 208 years ago (aka A LONG TIME AGO)
and WW2 - ending in 1945 being 75 years ago. (Also a Long time ago, that's like a grandparents entire lifetime.)
So what Nettlis was saying was true ... It was Long Time Ago. And it's either get over it and learn from it, or do what you and Lena are doing and taking it personally.
And Yes I did google word History for it's Definition, even though I am a bit of a History Buff and know what it freaking means. And I even did the Math showing you that It was infact "A Long Time Ago." Thus "The Study of past Events" aka "History."
Yes History is Important, and yes I do know what your saying, but the idea behind it is "Learning from it" And not "Romantizing it and Repeating it." Infact we are making it right now in 2020, WITH THE CORONAVIRUS... What you guys do right now during this will effect the Future outcome of it and what will be the story you will have to tell "Kids" Younger than you who never experienced it "ABOUT IT!! " Because it is going to be "Their History Homework." So do you want to say "I wasted all my time Hoarding TP" or do you guys want to leave a legacy like your historical rolemodels?
How do you want to be remembered?
“We’re gonna run out of cake at this rate!”
I came to the conclusion when I first started watching Eddie Izzard (and later found out this is TRUE) that he doesn't really have a 'set' or a 'list of jokes', he just gets on stage and you watch him play with his imagination for an hour. And it's fucking fascinating. I practically have this whole show memorized, and i still laugh at it. A comic genius, no question.
@Georgina Orwell there are obvious bits that are improv, like the ringing of the bell . . to which he makes a note "never link those two together again". Much of the riff on San Francisco is improv
I don't buy that he makes up these jokes as he goes. I mean, many of us are able to make these jokes on the fly, but on command, infront an audience, it's too hard and our psyche too unreliable. I think its more likely that most of his jokes have been rehearsed repeatedly infront of a mirror and he's skilled enough to pull them out of his hat when the occasion calls for it.
He cares little for a structured set, I might concede on that.
@@blurgle9185 I actually think it's somewhere between the two. I'm sure he has jokes rehearsed, but those are just monuments and rest stops on his comedic mental road trip; I think that's more likely than him having not rehearsed and memorized the set, but also rehearsed the very delivery to make it sound like he is just making it up as he goes.
@H Didn't say "totally" different. Didn't even imply it. Read the comment again, because I think you're ignored a big chunk of what I said to make a disingenuous point.
And even more mind-blowing; he can also do it in fluent French when he's touring in France. In fact, I believe he speaks quite a few languages - he has a brain the size of a galaxy.
You can absolutely tell how much of an influence Monty Python was to him, and it’s lovely.
Do you have a FLAG? 😂😂😂
The way he sticks out his tongue stupidly is perfection.,
My favorite part of this as well.
Star wars canteen was invaded with the use of a flag
No flag, no country, you can't have one.
We stole countries with the cunning use of FLAGS. I crack up every single time 🤣
Those are the rules I just made up and I'm backing it up with this gun!
So..
I just got some brand new crayons..
Think I`ll scetch up a flag or two on the way to the gunstore..
Those were the rules back in the day for real though. America as a country wouldn't exist today if it were not for the fact the native American people had no flag to protect them from the competing European countries who wanted to plant their own flags and take over the region haha.
I read this as he said it 😂
Eddie does not disappoint: I've seen her 3 times. Really fond of "I grew up in Europe, where the history comes from." 🤭
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Him
😅
Eddie's pronouns are she & her. She's all female now.
@@jeanineharkonen-rohlke4876 Still got his cock and balls so, no.
@@jeanineharkonen-rohlke4876 Is she? I thought they were fluid.
“Little red cook book!”
I adore this.
What is little red cookbook?
Bill White The little red book was the symbol of the communist/cultural revolution under Mao in China. The idea of it being a cookbook is just fantastic.
@@costeris35 It wasn't just a symbol, it was a requirement for all Maoists to own and memorize. As much as it could be, it was the Maoist bible.
houngandave I don’t know very much about it but I did know it was a real book you were supposed to have. By saying it was the symbol I meant that by having it, and waving it in the air like Eddie mimes here you showed you were part of the movement. Like you said, very much like the bible or wearing a cross.
I want a t shirt with "Cake or Death?" on it.
www.snorgtees.com/cake-or-death. Got this for my hubs a few years ago!
Virginia Carter woah that’s sick honestly
Don't bother, you'll be stopped and interrogated by some power crazed PCSO demanding to know why you're wearing it!! :-)
You can get one made especially for you 🙂. What a grand idea 💡
I've got a mug with "Cake or death" that i bought at a tour he did in Sweden couple of years ago =)
Still got it and uses it for my coffee =)
i look back at this and realize that comedy opened my eyes to so many things.
ALLmasked in this crazy world you had better learn to laugh or your finished.
As comedy is intended to do.
Both comedy and sci-fi have historically been a way to point out things that need to be pointed out (or educate the uneducated) while still being able to say, "Hey, it's just a story and/or joke!"
@@davidharrison6615 yeah I left school when this came out and this got me into all the stuff at school I disliked.
His comedy
@@andym28 agree
This is one of my favorite moments of comedy and I never knew Eddie was behind this genius. She's quickly becoming my favorite comedian.
@Normal Misha tiktok 😬
She?
Eddie is a "he". He's a transvestite, not transgender. To quote the man, "Women wear whatever they want and so do I."
@@Bluesit32 incorrect. In 2020 she came out and said she is strictly girl mode from now on and would appreciate everyone using the proper she her pronouns
For late comers like me; Suzy Eddie Izzard is she/her now. STILL DAMN FUNNY and that’s all that matters
Coronavirus: Cake or Death?
Me: Cake, please.
Coronavirus: Well, we're out of cake!
That's funny
Could I have the chicken then?
Pie
So my choice is "or death?!"
Then I'll have the chicken please
“Thank you for flying Church of England, Cake or Death?” Lol
Watching this in 2020, hear the line "I know plenty of people who would like to be under house arrest!" Currently stuck inside while covid-19 rages through the populace...
Just saying there are days when I wish I could stay home legally with a good excuse. Now everyone’s doin it
My immediate thought too...
My years of laziness and social anxiety has trained me well
I love you guys. We got this!
Same!! It just never gets old
//After a couple of years, we don't stand for that// Brilliant 😂
Monty python would be proud
Dale More he was known by John Cleese as the lost python
+Dale More I'm sure that if he had been older when Monty Python started making shows, Eddie would have fit right in.
I doubt it.

@@JamesOhGoodie Professional Transvestite
Man, we watched the Dress to Kill video so much back then, I almost knew it off by heart. One of the greatest stand up shows ever for me, cheers Eddie ✌️
Eddie is yesterday, today and tomorrow. Eddie is forever. Eddie's words travel time.
Eddie Izzard will always be historical to me
Historical? I hope you know what you are saying
Floppy so so. Well you tell me!
And that's the genius of it all. Its historical based comedy and its fucking fantastic.
He's historical when he's talking about history. Actually hysterical wouldn't make any sense since what the word actual means is an adjective for a woman that's being irrational in a female way, hence the root word "hyster", meaning womb.
Is that a trans ghost? Or a ghost passing through the trans space continuum?
I had this special playing at the hospital while I gave birth, because I needed a comforting, familiar voice there. It’s beautiful to see how you’ve used your platform for joy and change in the world as I’ve grown as a person. I come back to these silly words I’ve memorized so many years ago because they continue to brighten my day 💙 I’m quite grateful for the positive influence you’ve had in my life.
Is it my baby?

I'm curious. Who else got this in their Recommendeds after watching the Game Grumps' Mario Maker episode where they were talking about this exact Eddie Izzard skit lol
Meeeeee, just showed up
Same...
Yeah. Right underneath a GameGrumps video actually
I think the algorithm is sending all of us videos that people look for after watching a video. Like "After watching this, most people search for and watch this Eddie Izzard video".
Eddie Izzard one of a kind.
The first time I saw this, I wasn’t even 10. I have a cool Mom honestly, even that young I cried laughing. “Can’t get the fuckin TREES” killed me.
He's a fucking gorgeous genius. All the best people are crazy and clever and super sweet. I have no idea how his beautiful mind works but I adore the way that it does.
Still hilarious! “Do you have a flag?” 🤣🤣🤣
His older comedy is still hilarious, I could watch it all day :D
This is the greatest stand-up performance of all time. Each nuance adds something, so you actually feel there are four or five different people on stage.
After he says, "You're lucky I'm Church of England," just look at his facial expression. The make-up accentuates his eyes and mouth, and the fact he doesn't have to hold a microphone gives his body freedom to perform, as though acting on stage. Magnificent lines, wonderfully performed. Genius.
Never watch "Sexie".
Revelian1982 un travesty executive
This is another reason why I hate that in every show after "Circle", he always holds a microphone, and it really seems to impede with his physical comedy.
Revelian1982 my favorite was when he was talking about the “Star Spangled Banner” with “deny and confirm” gestures.
This is my favourite stand up of all time!
@H Because it's mostly very unfunny. The writing is awful, and the segues are pointless and repetitive. He also holds a microphone in his hand which impedes what can usually be a physical, mime-like performance without. It's definitely his worst one.
It feels weird to watch this without Legos...
Legos was a fine warrior, laddy, and he fought with bravery. The city walls were never breached, and that will forever be his legacy.
@@Revelian1982 The city walls were never breached? WTF you talking about, the city walls were easy to disassemble, since they were made of legos.
@@medexamtoolsdotcom They were never breached 'cos the moment they damaged the walls, there were suddenly instant-death caltrop-bricks lying all over the ground. No sane army will march over those!
I will never get tired of Cake or Death. :)
Cut out joke at 4:44.
"And I'm backing it up with this gun...lent from the National Rifle Association."
"...so that's fun." 😂😂
m fay actually I think that's funny!
"Eva, let's get married."
"Alright, where's our honeymoon gonna be? Can we go international?"
"I'm thinking we're gonna have to."
2019 and this is still my favorite stand up of all time. Finally hes touring the U.S. Hoping to see him in Boston in May.
“We’re gonna run out of cake at this rate”. Love that line.
This is the single greatest standup show ever. Its perfect.
I watched this special growing up and its still amazing. Now as an adult I LITERALLY use THAT strategy when playing RISK and it DOES work so well, easy to hold, you let everyone else duke it out and you just turtle up and slowly unleash!
If you were Hitler, and you could have continued to advance on England, or attacked Russia for their oil supplies, what would you have done?
@@Revelian1982 Here's the thing, ... How do you advance on an island? Either build a really long bridge while fending off attacks on same, or use boats, which need oil supplies. But a huge Mf'ing bridge also uses a S'load of steel, even more than an entire fleet of warships. O.K., let's see, hmmm, either way you still need huge amounts of oil and steel, which you also don't have anywhere near the amount you need to pursue your plans of conquest. But a successful campaign against Russia would solve one issue, somewhat. Never mind that so many campaigns against Russia have failed, and for the same reason every time. Gotta love that Nazi optimism, flying in the face of common sense and logic and any glimmer of intelligence or, oh, I don't know, reading a history book.
@@Revelian1982 A good little Austrian boy like our little Adolph? Playing a game by Milton Bradley (sounds English, that name, or even - gasp - American! The horror! )? You do realize all Nazi megalomaniacs find nothing of value in American culture that they didn't bring themselves and plant there, like Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors.
@@houngandave I realize and don't give a fuck, in equal measure..
I can tell you are lying... No adults play risk.
Wow...this was edited to take out “that was lent by the NRA”. Oh well...it doesn’t matter since there are SO MANY of us that have the entire *Dress To Kill* routine/show memorized !! (an oldie, but a goodie forever)🥀
Poorly edited, too. Ridiculous.
ya, that was weird.
Any theories as to the reason?
There's at least a few minutes missing between the bits (including the actual set up for the cake or death bit) so I don't think it was done specifically for the NRA joke. Doesn't seem like there's any deeper meaning to it. It's just some shoddy editing.
I think the uploader only really intended to post the second half of this video, but the one-liner at the end about Hitler would be weird without the first half. So they put in enough video for context so that people wouldn't fill the comments with "why is he talking about Hitler," but instead made a situation where everyone's filling the comments with "why the weird editing."
It was nice of her to condense the history of world wars into a concise 7 minutes
Her?
@@feurigerSternYep. This routine was years before she transitioned. So, she. :)

@Normal Misha imagine being so sensitive that you let a stand up comedian's political views (that have always been pretty left-leaning, whichever way you look at it) ruin your opinion of them.
Eddie is brilliant. One hilarious and intelligent person.
I hurt myself laughing when I saw this live and just as much watching this video. Just the antidote I needed right now.
I was just passing by to watch a few minutes and now I have to watch the whole show AGAIN!

Eddie Izzard is GENIUS
Still my favorite stand-up ever! Love you, Suzy!!!!
I remember watching this whole stand up when i was like 16 maybe 17 years old. And I was hooked. Eddie is brilliant and used it in his comedy at a time nobody else was.
Get a room knobhead
her comedy.
I remember this. So good to see again. TONS of love, from Reno. Stay well, dear Eddie Izzard.
"That's the rules I've just made up. And I'm backing it up with this gun" that has to be my favorite part.
I remember when my friend showed me Eddie izzard for for the first time. good times
Literally my best memories are from 2007 me and my best friend would put on dressed to kill at 3am and fall asleep when I'd stay over.
I remember my friend showed me his penis, and said that he had found a way to make it big. He showed me, and I was jealous, so I tried rubbing mine too, and nothing happened. Good times.

Best moment ever from Eddie, imo :D

He is so fricken funny. I have introduced him to so many people with “Dressed to Kill.”
