When I was a young man we had a local GP who had his practice in his local house. We would all huddle together in the tiny waiting room whilst he would diagnose each patient in the adjoining room. He had a very loud voice and you could hear every word he said. You would often see people get up and leave rather than take their turn.
I go to a urologist that does the same thing. His office has 4 examining rooms, and you can usually hear him in the adjoining room before he gets to you. Apparently, the woman in the room next door to mine has pretty severe vaginal dryness.
Depicting an Afrikaans expat living in the UK with the Afrikaans Englishisms is so spot on, never mind the totally spot on uncouthness...omg I laughed so much. Thank you Harry Enfield you absolute genius of a comic legend. The best bit is how he pronouced "pbeynus" and the "mushrooms growing"...omg I pissed myself laughing...i might need to go to the Chemist myself just now!
I came across a rude uncouth South African chemist in 1997 when in Cape Town. I had had a bad dose of the Gobi Trots and I went into his pharmacy to get some rehydration salts. He thought it very funny to take the piss out of me in front of other customers.
I loved harry Enfield in the 90s...but i can't recall this character but nearly 30yrs on I'm laughing more than i did back then.... are you pushing out firmer 💩 lol 😂
Love Harry & Paul! MINA! I had a Dr who bore more than a passing resemblance to the Embarrassing Chemist. After he spoke loudly about my issues, I never dared show my face there again! Amazingly observant sketch from the obnoxious Saffa Chemist to the blithely passive Mina! Brillllliant!
In the first sketch, the actress playing Mrs Bridges is Georgie Glen, who plays the very prim Miss Higgins in the later series of Call The Midwife, the voice is unmistakeable
What the hell has Ricky Gervais got to do with this, no one was making a comparison apart from you. They're two very different comedians. It's a totally pointless comparison to make!
The funny thing is in the mid nineties in New Zealand we had a big influx of South African medical people. Doctors, Pharmacists etc. In my town of 60K people, 3 medical centers sprung up. Can report this pharmacist is 100% accurate.
I went into the chemist once as skin was peeling on my foot and I wasn't sure if it was athletes foot so I explain at the counter and they say "oh the pharmacist will be out to see you in a minute". There's like 5 people waiting for prescriptions. A few minutes later the pharmacist comes out and shouts "Right! Who's foot am I looking at?"... I had to make a joke about it but decorum isn't always their fine point.
Sad to say this sort of thing is common in pharmacies and GP practises . In my experience confidentiality in public areas was pretty good in the NHS when I worked in it .

Oh lordy I forgot how damn good Harry Enfield was, I was literally in tears, bloody great.

Blimey, you don't live in Hayes Kent by any chance? Dr Lumley comes to mind.

dr collomosse .from crofton west yorkshire....
Was he Harry Enfield's dad?🤣🤣
@@lazybelphegore6748 Lol
Haven't had such a good laugh in years! Thank you and Happy Bumming!
"Apply the ointment to your weeping sores every two hours."🤣
"it is none of my business where you put your pork sword"
"Nice to see you, happy bumming"
🤪🤣
I'm a Capetonian and have quite a few relatives just like this chap !
BLOODY HELL, ARE THEY AWARE OF THEIR LACK OF SENSITIVITY ? OR ARE THEY ALL CALLED HARRY?
@@MrDaiseymay Just direct and slightly abrasive - I think it's a carry over from the Dutch gene.
The pommies do the best comedy
They like their apples!!!!!!
"Nice to see you, happy bumming."
Cheers.

Had to pause and comment: "There you go Mrs. Bridges, that should exterminate your pubic lice." 😂😂
I fucking roared!!! 🤣🤣
I used to love Harry Enfield's programmes but don't remember this character at all. Love it :)
harry enfield's brand new show on sky one
Me neither...it look Great!
When he sold out to Sky, sadly :-(

It cracks me up when he shouts at the assistant. “MENA!!”
Mina.
@@0Zolrender0 Yeah, whatever. MEENAH!

You are not allowed to be funny anymore it's all good clean fun to many do gooders
In the first sketch, the actress playing Mrs Bridges is Georgie Glen, who plays the very prim Miss Higgins in the later series of Call The Midwife, the voice is unmistakeable
Like an extreme version of Richard Wilson and the doctor's receptionist. "Here's your pile cream Mr Meldrew!"
Ahh, very funny. I very much enjoyed when he impersonated Jeremy Clarkson and did a skit on Clarkson Island with an untold amount of Clarksons. 😂😂😂
I haven't seen that, but Monty Python did that first with an island of Alan Whickers!
I think it was done as a nod to the Whickers’ world sketch .
My fave clarckson was done by peter serafinowicz
Harry is a legend.
As a Community Pharmacist, I have learned many, many social 'secrets'. Making these secrets known is beyond belief......
You couldn’t possibly air this on American television, it’s way too funny but somebody might just be a little offended.
Well people get offended here as well these days
This guy was hilarious. . . and i'm a yank!
Never seen this character before. Class😂😂❤
In case anyone's interested, I'm uploading the entire series of this in full...
Very interested thank you🎉😂😂
Just subscribed thank you.
poor meena she jumps out of her skin everytime he shouts her name 😃👍
I'd love to see the outtakes.
Ricky Gervais couldn't get remotely close to Harry's acting skills.
Legend and respect to Harry.
What the hell has Ricky Gervais got to do with this, no one was making a comparison apart from you. They're two very different comedians. It's a totally pointless comparison to make!
This is manic, truly funny as funny can be.
5:15 you can see Harry Enfield trying not to laugh. I don’t think I could hold it together either😂
2:02 the actress starts to smirk
He has that accent down pat. Real South African accent
Harry and Paul are comic geniuses! (I love the Dragons den sketches. spot on)
You're pushing out nice tough turds again? That's poetry :-D
First time I’ve seen this character.
Very Good.
The funny thing is in the mid nineties in New Zealand we had a big influx of South African medical people. Doctors, Pharmacists etc. In my town of 60K people, 3 medical centers sprung up.
Can report this pharmacist is 100% accurate.
LMAO, you must have really splattered the bowl.
Laugh out loud funny, each time. Genital, genital, genital

There's like 5 people waiting for prescriptions. A few minutes later the pharmacist comes out and shouts "Right! Who's foot am I looking at?"... I had to make a joke about it but decorum isn't always their fine point.
2:02 lady customer nearly cracks up.
Absolutely brilliant!! Can't believe I hadn't seen those Harry Enfield sketches before... superb!
This is the cruellest dig at South Africans I've ever seen - hysterical!!
Dig at them all you like. The Jaapis are the world's most rude and obnoxious people ever born.
Complete genius.
Not cruel at all, it is excellent.
Air Africaans, is merciless too!
News😊
The fragrant Archie Panjabi as the assistant, it wont get better....... 😁
He is something else 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ah! A closet case. (aside) Just as we thought, Meena!
You probably know them from the pubalic toiiiiilet. 😂
my wife works for a Dutch company . they are all like this cracks me up . no PC shit at all . love it !
@Richard Cunningham You do know that Afrikaans is also called Cape Dutch?
I never saw this before
The other guy was Jones out of midsummer
5:18 Uh-oh.😂
We had a chemist just like him, the only one in town open late. don't go there any more!
Not exactly racking my brain trying to work out why.
Such great humour that wouldn't be allowed now. How Victorian, backwards and sterile "humour" is now.
Brilliant!
brilliant.😂😂😂😂😂
I don’t remember this character from Harry Enfield and Chums at all
Mr. Jones the butcher...Dad's Army reference?
Sad to say this sort of thing is common in pharmacies and GP practises . In my experience confidentiality in public areas was pretty good in the NHS when I worked in it .
Was this on Sky? A great find!
Which series of harry enfield is this from? Sky? I have not seen it before
Very discrete doctor! 😂
discrete doesn't mean discreet.
Back in the 90s when we still had comedy
Are you 12?
It's still funny now but I can't imagine how much funnier it was back in the 90's when comedy still existed.
Except this came out in 2000 and only lasted 12 episodes.
No one got offended back then!!
@mrgee9530 Bullshit, Mary Whitehouse was fighting against the so-called evils of television since the early 60s. People have always gotten upset and offended at media.
MINA!!
An Afrikaaner chemist.
... would never misquote St. Francis of Assisi. We are extremely Protestant.
Absolutely classic
Ohh I’m offended
I’m off to my safe quiet space 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jeez....I love the high resolution.
back in those days it real life was in 320i(we couldn't aford the p)
There are real ppl like this.
Bappy humming
You probably know them from the pub-a-lic toilet AHahaha
Nice to see you...happy bumming....
Just seen this ,omg 🤣😂🤣
"MEENA!" 😂😂😂😂😂
Oh my gosh lol 😂
Back when the world was sane
archie panjabi ftw
Upset tummy my arse! 😂😂😂
I don't remember this character of Harry's
HAPPY BUMMING 😁👍👍
Never seen this.
Mina!
Omg that's so funny 😁
Good video
Happy Bumming
2:02 she corsped there.. quite hard not to when in the room with H.E.
And how are your stools? 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Meena is also called "Meena" in East is East, bloody good film.
The fragrant Archie Panjabi. A pleasure viewing what ever she's called.... 😍
Utube..the only place where you can laugh at a good gay joke 😂
Quality sketch which is more than can be said for the lousy picture quality.
talk, talk, talk, talk, MEENA! talk, talk...
Can’t remember this character at all ?
MINA!
Funny
How the straight faces??feaces?
Every Saffer ever.
Is that a South African accent and character? I was trying to put my finger on it.
Yep.
Shadow Heart
Yes. Even if he does keep slipping into Brummie.
Hilari arse !
Wow did they show that on mainstream television?
Yes. How times have changed. 😬
Wouldn't have been shown on American TV that's for sure. Far too straight laced
@@PortmanRd 😃 which one is too straight laced the show or the American tv?
Most definitely the t.v. 😅
A bit of Monty Python here.
From my experience of (most) South Africans ... Enfield gets their unguarded unfiltered unsubtle directness spot on.
Are you blick?😂
Fabulous British Comedy, always the best.
Did little Britain copy of this character were davud walliams insults via describing people
Probably they nick everything
Happy bumming
