Me and a friend tried to pull this off with a 3rd unsuspecting victim but we kept laughing too much and he figured out we were trying to pull his leg lol
For sure , Deserves so much more credit than it got , such a shame cause its insanely well written , But you then get some knockoff tat like little britain that thick people find funny and gets all the cred ...
For gods sake. OK one more bloody time: Jacks are worth 10, Kings are worth 3 apart from one eyed jacks which are wild cards. Round one you get a hand of 9, round two you get a hand of 7. 2s are wild cards apart from diamonds which retain their face value except the king of diamonds obviously. We play in sequence unless you can match a pair or play a card in ascending or decending order. If you can that's a 'Go Johnny Go Go Go Go' Stand up put the cards on the table and shout 'Go Johnny Go Go Go Go'. The winner is the man with the most tricks after 15 hands.
@@GAmbrose Serious answer: Jack of spades or Jack of Hearts, so called because they show their profiles and only one eye unlike the Clubs and Diamonds which are face on and show both. Have you got a one-eyed jack? Vellllly interlesting Mr Bond!
Just brilliant. I moved house recently and went into the local pub got the cards and crib board from behind the bar and asked if anyone wanted a game of go Johnny go go go go and no one did
This card game is an analogy of life! One is forced to take part (with the rules only marginally explained to them) whilst being flanked by those who all seeem to have the inside track! (Reminds me of some of my old family dinners!)
I did something similar with my dear old mum in the late 1960s, long before LOG. I made up a couple of card games and she didn’t complain. She just laughed. Nothing in the same league as this sketch of course. 😂😂
The BBC deliberately butcher these clips to annoy you into buying the full episode. That's why I always make sure I've downloaded the torrent before watching them.
Reminds me of a scene From Python's, The Meaning of Life, teacher giving his pupils an unintelligible instruction. HUMPHREY (teacher at a Public School played by Cleese): Entering the classroom where boys are throwing scrunched up paper balls at each other, etc. All right, Just settle down. Settle down. Now, before I begin the lesson, will those of you who are playing in the rugby match this afternoon move your clothes down onto the lower peg immediately after lunch, before you write your letter home, if you're not getting your hair cut, unless you've got a younger brother who is going out this weekend as the guest of another boy, in which case, collect his note before lunch, put it in your letter after you've had your hair cut, and make sure he moves your clothes down onto the lower peg for you. And it continues where only one boy doesn't understand and asks a question. 😂😂
2 versions of that part too,one was" you used to bets on buckaroo!" and the other live show was "you used to bets on hangman" lol always loved this sketch.
How very dare you Mr Bluttgesicht, if that is your real name. Which I doubt it is, it's probably something like dave or Peter, and I bet you're pet goldfish doesn't even have a bubbling volcano in its tank.
It's the kind of idiosyncratic touches that the writers make on League of Gentlemen. Often alluding to famous TV or movies, and often just to see if the audience is awake and paying attention. They did it quite a bit actually if you are observant. One particular peculiar scene ( among several ) has the surviving old lady from the Charity Shop ( Pemberton's character ) and the harried customer looking for his lost wife ( Gatiss ) on the trail of Keith ( aka Papa Lazaru ) where they are upstairs in his house and Gatiss spots a framed photo of Papa and some other people, as if it is a clue or something. It's never explained or elaborated on afterwards, but just added as nuisance value to bemuse the viewer. It's such a great touch.
We used to do this all the time to people. Best when at the drunken cocky stage cos they're trying to impress and win the game. The key is to wait until there just getting the hang of the game and then throw in another rule and just keep doing it. For some reason we always called it Afghan Biscuits. 🤷♂🤷♂
@@stewux I don't mind the laughter or lack of it, but I thought season 3 was probably the weakest one character and content wise. If season 1 and 2 hadn't had it, it wouldn't have bothered me.
Funny as hell. I'd like to see the same scene except Jeff takes Steve's place. He gets angrier and angrier at Mark, bursting into angry tirades until Mark finally pushes him over the edge and Jeff is screaming like a mad man, pulls out his 38 and shoots Mark dead. Then Reece and Jeff yell out Go Johnny Go Go Go Go. Maybe even a guest player like Papa L. So many possibilities! Cheers from Syracuse, NY! Lord Robert Douglas
Jiskefet had the same kind of sketch in the 90s, but in a "the Office" setting: th-cam.com/video/hZBHkJFcYII/w-d-xo.html Anyhoo, after the League of Gentlemen and it's successor Psychoville, there hasn't been any really good humour on TV :(
1st round is 9 cards and the 2nd round is 7 cards, but then he says the winner is the player with the most tricks after 15 hands... but what about the 16 hands that have been dealt is what I want to know 🤔🤔🤔
No it obviously didn't, but plenty of their other sketches were and they needed to keep it consistent. And before you go on about not needing to be 'told when to laugh', The League of Gentlemen started as a stage show, they probably loved having the audience there for instant feed-back.
they dropped it for the last series, and i am not talking about a stage show, or a live audience, and plenty of sketches is overestimating it a bit. I do agree that they enjoyed having an audience for a live show.

"It's a cross between Hoover and 8 men down" it sounded like Pemberton was making those up on the spot lol
and yet they're perfect names for card games. you can almost see how the games would work. genius stuff
As a person who doesn't know how to play cards at all, and I mean, at all, this is perfect and accurate 100%
Fancy a game of go Johnny go go go go?
@@trophy182 LOL
Don’t you know ANY card games, Doc?
@@glenbaker8412 No 🤣
Lets say 50 each you little scally wags
Me and a friend tried to pull this off with a 3rd unsuspecting victim but we kept laughing too much and he figured out we were trying to pull his leg lol
Got my wife with it 🤪 so much fun making up the rules
Stand up, put your cards down, and shout Go Johnny Go go go go!!! Then the winner is the man with most tricks after 15 hands 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Doc is me every time I play a card game.
Steve Pemberton's 'Ya doooo' line at 0:57 really cracks me up.
Easily one of the best television series of all time.
For sure , Deserves so much more credit than it got , such a shame cause its insanely well written , But you then get some knockoff tat like little britain that thick people find funny and gets all the cred ...
And darkest
Most definitely. I used to watch it constantly and it's one of my all time favourite series. I think it's time to dust off the DVDs!
@@cheekyegg That's what makes it the greatest.
I know people say this a lot but you really couldn't make this show anymore too many people would get upset.
watched this so many times that i think im starting to understand how to play it
😂
"This is Go Johnny Go Go Go Go, not Fam A Lama Fizz Vag!"
Bam a lama fizz fadg
you can't lead with a 3!
This is how I feel when playing cards. "It's so easy, you'll pick it up". By the end of it I'm sweating

lol phew...It's all clear now
What's a one eyed jack?
@@GAmbrose it's a rule from Hoover, after all Go Johnny Go go go is a cross between that and 8 men down.

I was with you all the way up to " jacks are worth 10 "
Its s cross between hoover and 8 man down...
Shall we say £1 a round!?
This is Go Johnny go go go go not Bam-a-lama-fizz-vag!
One of the best comedy series ever created
Wish they'd put the other part of the same sketch on here. "Now name you pairs"..."YOU CAN'T LOOK AT THEM!" 🤣
“This is go Johnny go go go go not bamalama vis vag”!!
😂😂😂😂😂
And it isn't knockout whist. It's go Johnny go go go go.
😂😂😂😂😂
Doc doesn’t know slippery Jack Mike, don’t know slippery Jack Doc🤣😂

@Ry G Precisely. 'scar.jpg'
Brilliant
I want to play "Bamalamafizzvaj!"
I'm so happy to be here with my people, the"starts sweating blood when cards rules are explained" gang. I thought I was alone!
Bam a lam a fizz fadge is clearly the best card game

Surrounded by all the corpses adds to the weirdness
2 people thought it was Bamma Lamma Fizz Fadge
its like a cross between Hoover and 8 men down
Every time someone is explaining game rules to my ADHD brain...
Where's the bit where one of them says " Very interesting Mr Bond." After a card gets put down? Always cracked me up with the daft voice he used.
Haha i still say it to this day
Ace in the hole..
Taal!

Go Johnny Go go go, all my homies love bama lama fish faj
Classic series brilliant come back and do another series 👍
Go Johnny go go go go is awesome!
They recreated this skit on their current tour
And their first tour aswell
I want someone to legitimately try to make a guide on how to actually play this game.
This sketch is now Legendary
But we'll come to those in a moment...
Legendary show
Thinking of the word 'hoover' brought me here 😂
2 versions of that part too,one was" you used to bets on buckaroo!" and the other live show was "you used to bets on hangman" lol always loved this sketch.
It's actually pretty simple if you learn the instructions word for word
How very dare you Mr Bluttgesicht, if that is your real name. Which I doubt it is, it's probably something like dave or Peter, and I bet you're pet goldfish doesn't even have a bubbling volcano in its tank.
Absolute class.
Mike Kings Time machine. :)
This is the jojo comment u were looking for
This card game sketch is a lot like a sketch in the Dutch comedy show Debiteuren Crediteuren called Stiften.
apart from one-eyed jacks which are wild cards
Why is the right side of Mark Gatiss’s neck bright red?
Dunno ask him not us

Why does he have joke teeth in ?
this scene wasn't,it was filmed on location. some,eg the dentons scenes,were in a studio with an audience.

I don't usually mind canned laughter, but if ever there was a show that didn't benefit from it, it's this.
Totally agree, that's why I loved series 3.

Quality scene this laa
Johnny: 👨🦽👨🦽👨🦽
this happens after every northern family meal
True
Thumbs up if you tried to memorize the rules, but failed. Epicly...

You know I've got this gun?
classic comedy
They never did explain the rules for Bamalama-Fizz-Vadge...
you start with a three
Isn’t this the first sketch they wrote together?

A 3?! 😂
You can’t lead with a 3 Doc!
Five...
yes but it was still added later and to what end?
The canned laughing ruins it

wait are you telling me that this scene was shot in front of a live studio audience? i'm not sure about that
Ah, the bbc before it was shit.
LOL! ... give me a thumbs up if you wanna learn how to play GO Johnny Go Go Go Go !

The guy in the middle looks a little bit like a young Edward Norton.
How dare they steal from the creative genius of David Walliams and Matt Lucas?! Rotate the board!

How I feel about gang rape.
My favourite brilliant show❤
Its like a cross between hoover and eight men down
