- John Cleese hosts lunacy from the BBC Radio series The Goon Show. Assembled from 3 shorter clips of the show posted on TH-cam by crystaljollybottom as a public service for anyone silly enough to want to see Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe reading scripts live on camera.

The Goons as good today as when I first listened to them on the radio in the 1950's and 60's during Britains goldern age of Radio and TV, unlike now.
I guess I am pretty off topic but does anyone know of a good site to watch new tv shows online?
@Jamal Shepherd I watch on flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
@Colt Joey thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it!!
@Jamal Shepherd no problem xD
You gotta love the Goldern age! Agreed!
What a gift for John Cleese to get to rub shoulders with the Goons. Omg how good is Peter S?!?
Comic geniuses - my childhood in the 50’s / 60’s was heavily filled with Goon Show quotes. Even today, “he’s fallen in da warter” is often used by my kids and grandkids with much laughter. After over 50 years, I can still remember parts of the scripts of most of their radio shows.
It's eerie watching Bloodnok, Bluebottle, Willium emanating from Sellers' mouth.
I'm 53 years old and my Dad's nick name for me when I was very young was Bluebottle, I only realized where the name came from in my 20s, when I discovered the goons on late night radio, ❤️❤️❤️
Any latent traumas as a result?
The pioneers of all British humour, my mum listened to them and told me that when she went to work the next day the boss would tell them all to take 30 minutes to talk about the goons and them back to work and he didn't want to hear another word about them for the rest of the the day . Genius is an over word used these days but Milligan and Sykes definitely were and not to mention sellers and secombe
Every time I see a recorded episode of the Goons I have more and more appreciation for Peter Sellers and his range of absurd voices. Bluebottle, Bloodnock, the "mate" guy and Grytpype-Thynne. They obviously spent plenty of time developing the scripts and cracking each other up in the rehearsals.
the 'mate' guys name is wiliam, according to the goon show website.
@@st3v3ngr33n thanks mate... good to have a fella like you around. Help the rest of us out of a jam.
Love love love ❤️ all things Goon, and these characters 😂
“Speak English you swine. We can’t afford subtitles “ is a great joke for a radio show.
Spike had such a gift for that sort of thing. The one that always sticks with me is a group escaping jail via an absurdly spacious sewer and spying a manhole a dozen feet in the air. "Eccles?" "Yeah?" "Stand on my shoulders and pull me up." "... Okay." *noises of great exertion* "I'd like to see them do this on television."
I like how Peter gives Spike a tap to let him know his parts coming up
Please know, the Goons can be regularly heard on BBC Radio 4 Extra.
One Python and Three Goons. Heaven.
Ernie Kovacs transferred their comedy to TV in the US. Rowan & Martin were "direct descendants". If you had wanted to invade England then Tuesday evening at 7.30 would have been the perfect time - as everyone was listening to the Goon Show.
I see a lineal descent for Firesign Theater, though that was less raucous.
Geniuses! I always love to listen to the steam powered wireless.
truly magnificient.......piano dear? yes it was also quite difficult to get into the cupboard.
*splash* “That water was taller than me.”
“Well, it’s older, you see.” 😆😆
The originals were a Sunday Lunch radio pilgrimage for my family, Milligan was my hero as they all were, Bentine included. The funniest thing I cried with laughter at was the “What Time is it” interchange between Bluebottle and Eccles..
Just look it up!
The goons meet python
Fabulous.... thank you so much for doing that... Bought back so many memories...
My goodness, how did JC keep a straight face through this?
He was working with his heroes, he dare not fuck up
@@philsosshep4834 Lucky for him it wasn't Eric Morecambe, who made it his goal to corpse every guest.
Straightface is one of JC's most effective humor producing affects. He does it brilliantly and there can't be that many who surpass him in that particular.
@@BrucknerMotet Yeah, the days of deadpan humor are long gone. Graham Chapman was no slouch at deadpan humor, either.
The “alternative” ending made me cry. 😂😂
Long John introduces because “Monty Python “ was inspired by “Goon
Show”
made my night again, thanks
It seems this is a 1968 re-creation of a script first broadcast on radio in December 1959 with Wallace Greenslade announcing, as usual.
Indeed yes, WG had died seven years prior (1961). I have the original Tales Of Mens' Shirts on tape, with WG doing the intro and continuity. The script in this filmed episode differs several or more times from the original.
When the Last Goon Show Of All was televised in 1972, the on-stage introductions included an irreverent reference by Milligan to WG being "excused, because of (or owing to) death".
Hurray, Possibly, finally'
Utterly Brilliant
"Bang not worth the journey!?"
Would love to get this on DvD, but its never been released.
Such a shame. 😪
They were amazing The Goons....wasn’t Michael Bentine part of the Goons too?
Yes but left early. Dick Emery helped out when Spike was unwell.
Look up the Case of the Muckinese Battle Horn.
It features Henry and Min in the "someone's at the door" sequence.
Down amongst the Z men has an Eccles. Bentine is in that.
@@zendog7212Kenneth Connor also "filled in" when one of the cast was unavailable.
The "£50 cure" is an example
Oh that spanish food.
Waiter! One brandy and pronto.
One brandy and pronto coming up.
How did he know my brandy and pronto were coming up?
Brill!
The genius forerunners of the equally genius Monty Python ensemble. How blessed are WE !!!
Imagine there was no Goon show or no Spike Milligan(Lennon should of mentioned this in his song). Comedy wouldn't be where is was today
Well very little comedy today is worthy of these geniuses, Frankly I think the likes of MOnty Python, The Goons etc etc they would all be utterly appalled at what is called 'humour' these days. Very few can so-called comedians can get through a sketch without filthy language and its all so Woke and politically correct. You must NOT offend anyone.
I'd be willing to be most if not ALL of Pythons shows would be banned or at the very least have trigger warnings at the start and many of The Goons would also be banned.
Peter Sellers was vile to John Cleese when they were filming a scene in the Magic Christian film in 1969. Spike Milligan lost his temper with Harry Hill when the latter told Milligan how much he admired his work. Unpleasant men, really.
Goons > Pythons
