When you think of what we have to settle for in TV comedy these days. Norman and Gareth are criminally underrated in the history of TV comedy. This sketch is a work of genius.
Russell Ford Too bloody right. Actually, I can see some material in their clips on TH-cam that has been "recycled" by other so called comedians recently. They were brilliant weren't they? Latest thing they did was Benidorm. There is a video of them singing Smoky's "Alice" in the post filming party in Benidorm with the cast and they changed the words to, Chalice? Chalice? Who the f***k is Chalice?" as in Joh Chalice (Boycie) who is was also co-starring. It is on TH-cam somewhere too.
Didn't watch much of Hale and Pace when these sketches were first broadcast, but I'm pleasantly surprised to find their sketches have withstood the test of time.
I work in Security, one of my team mates is a fat guy called gary, exactly the same as this guy, wont shutup for one minute, talks absoloute shit and bores everyone, we all try to hide when hes in the room
There was a contractor used to come into my old works a bit like this guy, always said the same shite jokes! His favourite was if you greeted him with a simple, "Hi, how are you! he'd say, "I'm good thanks, any better and I couldn't stand it"... every single time without fail!
You get people like that, i was a window cleaner for 15yrs always used to get "you've missed a bit haha" every bloody day, every person who said it thought they were unique. Only if they knew. Idiots! 😂 If you have a window cleaner don't tell them they missed a bit.
@@vladdracul5072 a mother that gives up is no mother at all, no matter how anoying he is, he's not a bad person, at at lest should account for something
@@alanaspinall7147 I didn't say he's a bad person, he's just thinking everyone else thinks as he does, and his mother, writing wanker on the cake, has given up to teach him otherwise. He's a positive person and that's the problem: being TOO positive makes one invariably lose some or all sense of reality.
I can say I used to work with a guy just like that. He'd sweep into the office every morning with a 'Good morning campers!!' and all the heads would go down..
@a w Some shops are starting to bring in glass bottle returns. you just drop the glass bottle off at the machine and you get a token for the return value. a step in the right direction.
Thesedays this type of person would be classed as aspergers, being socially awkward, of a nervous unnatural disposition & lacks general awareness of how he relates to others. In classic observational comedy its the local loon that sits next to you on the bus.

@@Funkstar124 gavin and Stacy stole alot from hail and pace sketches, Cordan the fat unfunny prick made his name off stolen content.
Doesn't seem to even be ANY sketch shows at all these days and decent sitcoms are very rare.
Didn't watch much of Hale and Pace when these sketches were first broadcast, but I'm pleasantly surprised to find their sketches have withstood the test of time.
I didn't take much notice of them when I was a kid but stone me they're funny!
£2.23 for a pack of 20 and a newspaper?? Those were the days!
Yes
Yeah but wages were only 50p/hr😅
That's only cos it seems cheap now, back then it was "pricey"
@soeffingwhat I could easy afford to smoke back in the late 90s It's impossible now at £17 a packet x that by 7 £130 a week Vs £25 back then
We all know somebody like this...and if you don't, chances are it`s YOU
There's genuinely people like this and they don't even know it
I work in Security, one of my team mates is a fat guy called gary,
exactly the same as this guy, wont shutup for one minute,
talks absoloute shit and bores everyone, we all try to hide when hes in the room
When I was growing up people like this got laughed at and they kept quiet now it's normal to act like a wanker
@@davemustaki134 are you saying they suck or no?
I don't. Oh fuck...
That is hilarious I work in retail and really do get customers like that
He's harmless. We need more characters.
LOL! I remember having customers like this too.
@NumptyMagnet That makes two of us.
Well I won't be patronising your establishment again !!!!!
Those customers always mean well though
"Oh look. 3 aces. That'll be difficult to beat"
He's so sarcastic though I would have thought it just as likely the guy had nothing and he was trying to help him out.
The bit that he spooks the stranger by going woof-woof cracks me up.
When I was younger and worked in a market, there really were customers like this. I didn't mind though, they actually made my day better :)

These guys made Sunday evening before school way less shit back in the day
I’m sure we all know a person like that..so hilarious and true at the same time
Might try that today when they are on phone instead of calling them zombie walkers.
You get people like that, i was a window cleaner for 15yrs always used to get "you've missed a bit haha" every bloody day, every person who said it thought they were unique. Only if they knew. Idiots! 😂
If you have a window cleaner don't tell them they missed a bit.
I tell im to piss off
If i had a window cleaner id tell him to piss off.
tim lightbrown, you seemed to have missed a bit in the corner
What's a window and why does it need to be cleaned?
Thanks Tim. Have made mental note to tell the window cleaner he's missed a bit next time he comes round.
There’s at least one of these types where I work.
Strangely though, some people find them amusing.
"Be good. And if you can't be good, be careful"
A say this at the end of phone calls
"I really think seeing me sets up old Bob up for the day" 😂😂
I’m actually jealous he gets to commute to work every day and pick up a paper and some darts. Things we took for granted.
i always felt kind of sorry for him, after all in his own twisted way he's a positive person,yet he gose about it completely the wrong way lol
No, he's just a wanker
@@oddforestcritter a wanker would imply intent to be an arse, he trying to be nice, he just fucks up on an epic scale
@@alanaspinall7147 Obviously even his mother has given up on him.

Actually as I’m getting older I’m starting to get like this at times and you only just realise when you stop and think 🤔.... 🧐
Maybe you should just stop?
"Fair to middlings the way I'm diddling as I always say"
Flanders
The days when comedy was actually funny 😂
Yeah... and when people didn't call everything racist...
@@IsaacWale2004 I hear you're a racist now father, how did ye get inta that sort a ting
Back when we could have Saville and Rolf Harris and them on tv.
@@IsaacWale2004 snowflake. Try not being racist you pube headed seat sniffer. Your comedy is wank.
there's plenty of good stuff if you look for it. Pleb.
im a bit of a lad... that bit always gets me lol
The thing that makes it funnier is the fact he laughs after each sentence.
The Real life Flanders lol.
Yeah, but people like Flanders...
I can say I used to work with a guy just like that. He'd sweep into the office every morning with a 'Good morning campers!!' and all the heads would go down..
Brought tears to my eyes 😂😂😂
👍❤
i forgot how blooy funny these 2 was lol love them
2.23 for a pack of smokes, and the paper, i remember i that cheap and even cheaper
That would be over a tenner in January 2020.
That would be over £11 now in January 2020
I remember 10 Players No.6 being 14p. I ain't that old either
@@fasthracing F off, 10 Regal were 80p when i was 12, im 41, you must be about 60?
Wanker section
Inspiration for Colin Hunt, Fast Show
Morning Tiddly Orning!
That cake at the end. 😂
"I really think seeing me set ol' Bob up for the day"
I never forgot this sketch fantastic
What a duo the cake classic
"Morning Bob me old mucka!"
LMAO @
"Morning Bob me old mucka!"
Translate to English
Even google does not understand English
Thats just made me laugh hard...
"Up at the crack of a sparrows fart eh milky?"
"And if you can't be good be careful"
Gold!
Modern British comedy can't come close to this..
"Morning Bob me old mucka"
"Fair to middlins the way I'm diddling as I always say"
Like an early Colin Hunt prototype.
You know him too ha
Sounds like Richard Ayoade in The IT Crowd 😂
Autistic that’s why
I love this.
Hale and Pace the masters of using profanity. Minimal and perfectly executed.
Fkn great
"See ya"
"Not if I see you first"
That sounds like a threat...
"Falling down water"
Yes.
Oh look 3 aces that'll be difficult to beat
You Forget how funny 😂 these guys are😂😂
every town has a person like this hahahaha
@aaronstately I wouldn't be surprised. I'm sure Little Britain got a few ideas from Hale & Pace too(especially the police line-up sketch)
Happy Birthday W**ker 😂😂😂👍🏻epic sketch
Stay alert how did he forget that 😂😂😂😮 brilliant
And for any newcomers wanting to understand English culture start here and take notes !! :-)
He'd be a fun catch for some lucky lady.
Oh gawd, I've had to work with people exactly like him!
03:18
notice the drinks fridge in the shop? thats right metal, glass and cardboard. no plastic bottles. the good old days!
@a w Some shops are starting to bring in glass bottle returns. you just drop the glass bottle off at the machine and you get a token for the return value. a step in the right direction.
£2.23 for 20 JPS and a newspaper. Those were the days.
It's sad when you think there's actually poor sods out there like that ,we all know one..... Maybe it's me !

I forgot about these guys, subscribed.
Like that bit where the cake says Happy Birthday Wanker and the audience reactions that roar with laughter.
The audiences laughs are so funny
I can tell this guy is pretty popular
I really have met a few people exactly like this : ))
I like him, reminds me of myself. I also put on 'cow-pat' after shave. Great for queues, or crowded shops. Helps getting noticed in pubs too.
1:55 that today can land you in a lot of trouble with the law.
I'm a bit of a lad. LMAO
If you dont know a guy like this YOU are this guy.
Laughing my arse off in 2020 😂😂😂
I refuse to believe that’s a real Nose on the Milkman.
'Be good, and if you can't be good be careful'. Catchphrase of a work colleague bore. Hope he reads this and know I'm referring to him.
I think most co-workers are a bore to be honest.
my grand kids would say thats me
You do get people like that LMAO hilarious
Great, made me laugh!
Possibly the inspiration for the Fast Show's Colin Hunt.
Fantastic 😂😅.
02:18 straight up legendary spoiler
Oscar winning performance ... this is acting
We all know someone like that
I used to be like that...
Shweppes n CocaCola never change
this reminds me of my old neighbour
Nowdays a newspaper is more than £2.23...
There's people or someone I once knew who was just like him.
0:18
Clement Freud wasn't taking any chances
Proper telly back then.We laughed and didn't harp on about what was PC or not.
Aww that's quite sad lol
Bring them back ! Where are they now ?
Real life Ned Flanders.
Leonard from Big Bang Theory has let himself go
But he's so nice!
Falling down water
Colin Hunt with a side of Only Me. But this was before either.
No wonder he's so popular...
£2.23 for 20 JPS and a paper? Farkin' 'ell...papers alone are approaching that much nowadays!
Brilliant
Ah, the good ol' days. 😁
OMG! I think this is me!
I am so embarrassed - i laughed so hard that I regurgitated my dinner
i could totally see paul whitehouse and the fast show gang doing this as a sketch.
Love the ending *HAPPY BIRTHDAY WANKER* roflmao
it's my birthday party the big 40 they will be here in a minute lol
That bus.. lol
Can tell this is old. Man got a pack of 20 John Player cigs for two quid.
This came out in the early 90's
I literally worked with someone who is the spitting image of this guy
Cigarettes AND the paper for £2:23. Wow.
Back in the 90's
Wonder what Hale and Pace have been doing for the last 25 years?
This only came out 25 years ago...
@@IsaacWale2004 Edited!
@@MrGoneTroppo okay
They've both appeared on stage shows and in films... that's about it...
£2.23 for twenty cigs and a paper, wow, this is old..
About 1993.
Last time I bought 20 Embassy would have been about half-a crown a pack. (Haven't smoked for a while)
When I started smoking (stopped Jan 06) in 1999 it was around £3.40 - £3.90 for 20 and about £5.20 - £5.70 in 2006 iirc
1991 based on the newspaper headlines, first Iraq war kicked off early 1991
