Tfw you realize that the TV Version of The Mary Whitehouse experience is almost a quarter of a century old, and you remember listening to the original radio version.
The last clip cut off too early, David Baddiel breaks character and spends the next 10 seconds stifling his laughter while trying to say his next line, which made it even funnier
i cant believe that some people slag off Baddiel,he was an essential part of this incredible duo They are both comic heros I only wish these two could make up and get back together Lets face it we need a really good laugh !!
I think I get the same "Is this meant to be funny?" feeling watching 'youth' comedy today that my parents felt seeing this stuff in the 90's. Shame there's no decent DVD's of it.
Really sad to read down and see people slag off David Baddiel. Unnecessary. Who cares which one is the funniest. Both are funnier than I’ll ever be. What I’d give for even a fraction of the talent they both have in spades. The ability to make people laugh is highly underrated and it is just great to be able to sit back and watch comedy genius.
One of these sketches had the lines... "see that cracked, dirty saucer there on the floor? That's your satellite dish that is" I remember howling with laughter at that one, and cannot find it on the clips.
@burnt62 Robert is still out there. Have you seen "The History of the World Backwards" and "The History of Oil" ? As fantastically good as you'd expect. They were an amazing double act, in a way it's good that it ended so soon so it never got the chance to lose it's shine. We can look back on it forever with fondness and a longing for that special 20th anniversary reunion or w/e.
Baddiel seems to get slated on here, I think they are both funny as fuck but Baddiel has entertained me greatly over the years, ive nothing against him at all - far funnier than Frank Skinner who I also find very amusing.
@alanheath yup. if its funny and you don't know why, It's British. like the little bald guy getting his head slapped on Benny hill, or "spam spam spam spam"
@dfarmbrough A PhD makes you a Doctor, not a Proffessor. A Proffessor is a title that's given to you by a university, a bit like "manager" in a company. It stays with you though, if you leave.
I'm now 74, my daughter 47, and we still say " That's you that is" The MWE and Baddiel and Newman used to leave us crying with laughter.

Remember this as a kid - it just never gets old to me - still cracks me up even now.

I STILL say 'that's you that is' as childish banter to my boyfriend. Never fails to make either of us laugh.
I think this is one of the funniest live sketches I've seen.

This is great to see.

th-cam.com/video/JhrD5SVo3OU/w-d-xo.html - just after the 14 minute mark
Remember this as a teen. Still as funny now 😂😂
The first 22 seconds sum up Newman and Badiel........Newman came up with funny material and Badiel made the most of it
So even Baddiels own comedy partner didn't like him 😂
They weren't a double act.
outstanding. why is newman not mainstream anymore? he was and is simply briliant, a true comic genius
I have seen him live. Look at his stuff on youtube. He is getting thoughtful on his old age. Thinking stuff not just laughs well worth watching.
He was the funniest of the 4 on the mwe imo. But he went v lefty and inaccessible imo
Hahaha - DB has trouble answering the "mum's bra" jab because he's too busy trying not to laugh. (and fails, just after the end of this clip)
RIP Harry Thompson :( x
Brilliant.
Who cares where his humour comes from? It's bloody hilarious, just watch it for what it is!

Comedy gold

LOVE that one. "See that? That's the man that works inside your pants."
why not? it's funny.
Number 24 out of 50

My bad.
LOL! :)
Oasis need to reform as do these two.
Some people do talk shit. Have you ever considered not watching.
PS: using big words is no good on you tube, went right over my fuckin' head.
About as funny as pulling teeth.
And that is funny.
