What a treasure Benny was. Unceremoniously dumped by Thames Television despite, no doubt, making them millions in worldwide sales as Benny was feted, celebrated and admired on every continent. I no longer watch television, at all, which sums up how I feel about the no-talent-celebrity crap they churn out these days.
@@Willsey there not liberals there not chop phooeyy there just phooey. As BENNY HILL WOULD SAY. there not liberals they dont believe in express. Its pure negative any good is insult. There alien.
You're not Chi Knees but you are still a Knees....a Vietnam Knees 🤣 Yes Benny Hill is awesome, its a shame that the woke cancel culture has become so mentally and emotionally fragile, everyone is so scared of causing offense these days, it feels like we are walking on egg shells. Oh and Gigi Cat Vietnam 🇻🇳 is a beautiful country, I've been wanting to go there for a holiday and was planning a trip until the first lockdown happened here in NZ 2 years ago, I'll eventually get there 👍🙏✌
Never forget I was once in a Geneva store and in TV department TVs were showing benny hill show and everyone, portugese, Spanish and swiss were cracking up laughing. That dear friends says it all!
I wish people would stop keep saying Benny was 'politically incorrect'. So what? PC never infested comedy like the disease it is now. Benny was a comedy genius , he gave us good harmless, well scripted hilarious humour. So what if he mimicked accents? It was all part of his comedy character sketches. Its called humour, and bloody damn funny it was and still is to this day.
@@rolfhutter8410Note how via your PC thought control a woman is no longer a victim of crime, she “experiences” it. You wring all the horror and disgust out of the crime by calling it an “experience”. You make it seem like its just, “one of those things,” that happens. The woman isnt a victim; she just had a very bad experience. Yet, its Benny Hill thats causing damage.
@@rolfhutter8410 Whatever. Nowhere in the entire duration of this sketch does Benny encourage or demonstrate or even make a vague reference to rape. Knock it off.
Here in Northern California in the 1970s, BH was telecast Mon-Fri at 11 p.m. I watched it religiously, and the first time I saw this sketch and heard 'just soya dumplings', I almost had a heart attack from laughing so hard. Still one of my favorite moments.
Classic. "as a newt" And as for Henry McGee in this sketch - a masterclass in being the feed and fall-guy. A much underrated actor. Not forgetting Bob Todd, ever the clown but always one to support. No Jackie Wright here. That would have been overkill . . . but what a team Benny built around himself.
Brilliant comedians, Bob Todd helped make it with his interactions with Benny, who saw him in an "OXO" cube commercial , liked what he saw and recruited him to his team!
Call it peas talks! Benny was one of the best. Used to watch him and Bob Todd with tears of joy. This was comedy the like of which we sadly will not see again. Cos its not pc. RIP BENNY BOB AND JACKIE. You brought happiness to so many
Benny reminds me a lot of Carol Burnett - always able to get a laugh without saying a word, and breaking up at the wrong moments! We miss you, Benny. :-(
Finally! Chocolate Drops. I have been searching for this scene for years. My mom and I cried laughing when she drops the bar of chocolate and looks to the audience. For some reason, I remembered her as a European cook. Benny Hill and the gang were masters.
@@toddlongo7066 The German version of the cooking sketch is priceless, especially when Bob Todd throws a tantrum after Benny jabs him in the stomach with a rolling pin!
The Benny Hill Show was the funniest thing I've ever seen back in the early eighties, used to sneak and stay up late at night watching on school week nights .
There were many before him, but yes, it’s a shame conservatives and their regressive thinking got him canceled back in the day. Nothing’s changed sadly. If they don’t like something that exists outside their grossly outdated conceptions of the nuclear family and “wholesome” entertainment, they wield whatever power they have to ban it, censor it, shut it down.
“Just soya dumplings!” Brilliant stuff from Benny. This may be Benny’s greatest sketch, but there’s also the one with Bob Todd as the immigration officer and Benny as Chow Ming which is brilliant. Most of his stuff was! People will still be enjoying Benny Hill long after todays comedians are forgotten.
@@beerbandit291 - Benny had to know what a total creep and perv Savile was, behind the scenes. Don't forget, The Ladybirds who'd sung on his shows also did "Top of the Pops" and may well have been privy to Savile's dark side.
@Edwin S Anthony So- eating endangered species, importing ivory, dictatorship single party autocracy, murdering of nationals, torture of nationals, state sponsored hate crimes, religious genocide, appalling human right abuses....etc..etc IS funny?...whats get yer point Eddy?
Bennys shows were sold all over the world making millions of pounds for ITV in the process. Then without warning he was fired by the top brass without even a thank you or well done. Now ITV makes programmes like Love Island and other such crap but that's progress I suppose..
Too many snowflakes around today. Benny was so funny; he attracted great scriptwriters and surrounded himself with a brilliant ensemble cast. Perfect timing, hilarious sketches and the perfect antidote to the 3-day week, power cuts and austerity of the 70s. 💖
Bruddy Mallvaruss I say, perfect combo of double entendres and puns galore, my favourite , and with the two best supporting men in the business, the test is...I was grinning from start to finish, happy days dear Ben
I actually met Henry McGee several times. I used to work in museums, and he was a frequent visitor. He was very interested in collecting porcelain and ceramics. He was always very nice, and quite an intellectual man.
So funny! Such a take on Fanny Craddock! Living in Philippines, I meet a lot of Chinese people and, when they talk in English, they all sound just like Benny Hill.Benny has got the balance just about correct. "It rub-ber-y!" Yes, it's rubbery!" .
Yes, it's rubbery all right! Every time I have a hard-boiled egg I remember Benny Hill. Great to hear women in the studio audience howling with laughter.

I also only watch yesteryears programs.. much better than today's politically correct garbage, this show was truly a gem..
Betrayed by Ben Elton,
the mastermind behind his eventual death
i'm an asian woman and i love benny hill. i do not feel insulted at all. but then i'm not chinese i'm vietnamese :) rest in peace Benny i miss you :((
I know .the only people that get offended are white liberals

Harmless humour? Say it to the women who experienced sexual abuse or rape.

"Just soya dumplings" -- a perfectly innocent line on the page, but Henry McGee's delivery and Benny's reaction are just hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What are you--some kind of sex mechanic?
No couscoua pusspuss lol
Loved him then and still laughing now 😂😂
The next line..sex mechanic!😀😀
So funny he tried hard not to laugh in this sketch 🤣
Apart from the funny accent a lot of his humour is based on word play. That is a type of humour that the British excel at
as in Mind your Language.

Fortunately we've got you tube!
People have actually talked like this. Not ALL Chinese/Asian of course. But when they're new, you bet.
Benny Hill and Bob Todd! Laughed fit to burst! So miss this brilliant comic.How Henry McGee kept a straight face I'll never know💓💓
How I wish we could go back to these Non P C days .... would be worth putting the Telly on.... Benny Hill how I Miss you xx
true Well it is bit like two ronnies indaian cookery as well
Oi dum brimmy tea innit
Aye
Wonderful Benny and friends.A great tonic to lift us up in these dark times,,,thank you guys.
Legend Benny Hill was and still is! Henry McGhee played a wonderful straight man!
Pure British Comedy 😃 So funny they all have the gift...Magical...
"It is too late to apologize!" love that running gag! He also used it in the Spanish restaurant sketch!
one of the funniest comedians
Happy Days, Benny Hill was hilarious 🤣😂
Henry McGee is an expert on Chinese food. Look at the way he holds the chopsticks.
I noticed that too
Just soya dumplings! Priceless....
Benny reminds me a lot of Carol Burnett - always able to get a laugh without saying a word, and breaking up at the wrong moments! We miss you, Benny. :-(
The master of getting a laugh without saying a word, was Benny Hill's comedy hero (and namesake) Jack Benny.
Tommy Cooper too. Genius
What makes Benny so endearing is that he enjoys himself so much.
Which sadly made him go south when they cancelled his show.
That's it. He projected his humour from his heart.
What a comedy genius ...no one else like him...just as funny as it was then...
Benny Hill was always the funniest entertainer par excellance.Hours of enjoyment!!!
I always loved seeing Benny hill!
He always had a great sense of humor! He could play any part in the skit! And it was always funny.
Very funny 🤣,god bless Benny & the rest
Finally! Chocolate Drops. I have been searching for this scene for years. My mom and I cried laughing when she drops the bar of chocolate and looks to the audience. For some reason, I remembered her as a European cook. Benny Hill and the gang were masters.
He also did a cooking segment as a British woman. 👍

Freckin hilarious.
After all these years, still funny as hell!
What a genius!
"Good evening , every bloody."
"Good body, every evening!" :-)

As asian , we can laugh with him.
As a Newt lol , way ahead of its time ,
RIP the whole cast .
Wordplay of the highest calibre.
What great comedy , miss it badly 😢
I agree who can we laugh at if we can't laugh at each other
He has to be one of the best comedians in the world wish he never died
A born comic. No other explanation.
I think he must have been sad, irl. He lived with his mommy and didn't drive. Didn't date anyone.
Just think we can all thank Ben Elton for Benny's demise. Great shame.
Why pray tell?
Benny was loved around the world, but his own world was so small.
“Just soya dumplings!”

What is soya dumbling
That doesn't work, this side of the Atlantic. It's "soy", not "Soya". 😂😂😂
@@kankikankkinen2670
Dumplings filled with tofu. Soy.
When I was an kid I used to call Benny Hill uncle Benny because every Saturday night we would visit (see) on the t.v. !!
Good job you didn't have an Uncle Jimmy Saville!

Thanks so much for posting.Bob Todd such an underrated comic actor.For me he was brilliant with Benny and also Spike Milligan
The way he did the canopy/canape gag was priceless 😁🤣
Chocolate drop then she drops a chocolate bar. From HK. At the beginning Benny's Cantonese English was spot on.

I honestly would know what they show, as I pretty much quit watching TV years ago. Particularly anything network.
It's like watching Rita Hayworths British aunt :)

"sex maniac". I bet Archie Bunker was inspired to mangle words from Benny.
