It's uncanny how accurate Stephen fry nailed David Cameron here
Jim Hacker.
It's a good deal!
If there is any justice in the universe then it's probably the other way around.
This is genius. It is true we need more of their accurate satire. When Fry yells out "What about unemployment?" I burst out in gales of laughter every time.
Yes, funny because true.. Any innovation gets attacked for causing unemployment, something that shouldn't matter to an organised country!!
Fry makes a perfect suited civil servant... :D
@@EveryoneWhoUsesThisTV If I am to be laid off due to an innovation then the only compensation is that all my expenses are paid off for the rest of my life. All of them as dictated by me.
@@ordelian7795 Yea how about you just get laid off with no benefits and gotta find a job in an increasingly tech focussed economy. Goodluck kiddo maybe when we eventually reach post scarcity if you are still around you can have your dream.
@@dnw009 I'd love to see a robot put up the moisture protection in your bathrooms.
"OR IS IT!?"
Oh Hugh, you never fail to make me laugh. Brings back memories of when I was really young, and watching this with my Dad. A perfect example of the prime of British comedy x3
I am here from the Internet historian because of the good deal scene
Same
What episode was that?
@@protheu5 The one about the Costa Concordia
Yep
Watch one video that leads you to another good video. A good deal, I’d say.
Good deal.
Strong and stable.
That was genuinely scary.
It was on fullscreen, during the last clip of Hugh when he said it was made up, I looked away, then looked back and he screamed at me.
Don't look back ;)
1:57 here it is for those from Internet Historian
You're fast
A shame that many people who would want to see this scene in full do not know that it comes from fry and laurie.
@@cadettklinge603 I mean they had to google it and it's literally in the title dude
"It's a good deal for Britain, a good deal. A good deal."
--Brexit, anyone?
Remainer tears, yum.
+Kurz Can you name a single actual benefit from Brexit that outweighs the economic instability it causes?
What about the economic stability brought about by Brexit.
Juno So. How's brexit working out for you now?
killboggins Great, yourself?
Someone could mistake Fry for Cameron quite easily!
*Jacob Rees-Mogg
Not unless they are stupid. Sounds nothing like him. Bit like saying a scouser sounds like a Geordie
"troubled democracy giant"
The "Or is it!?" at the end had me legless and out of breath. Brilliant!
"Strong and Stable Government"
In the National Interest
For the many and not for the few.
The few can end up in gulags or re-education camps, or even better, does anyone remember (or is aware of) the Chines cultural revolution which started in 1966 and ended in 1976?
-- enough said methinks.
This aged like fine wine and sour milk at the same time.
For context, this was aired around Japan's great asset bubble. The Japanese were was awash with money and were buying everything everywhere, including the Rockefeller Center in NY. In 1989 Sony acquired Columbia Pictures, one of the big five studios in Hollywood, which had been unfathomable up to that point.
In the '80s and early '90s Honda was very close with Austin-Rover, or whatever they were calling the carcass of British Leyland by that point. They'd co-developed a number of successful vehicles and everyone expected Honda to take them over. And then a funny thing happened, Austin-Rover was sold to BMW, right out from under Honda. BMW developed one good car and then punted on the whole thing. Well, except for Mini and the brand rights to Triumph cars which they've never used for anything. They still have those. Ford got Land Rover while Rover Cars (MG + Rover) went to a consortium where they promptly ran out of cash, went bankrupt, and were bought out by a Chinese company called SAIC who were wanting western brands. Ford became scared that the Chinese would use the Rover name to sell SUVs and tarnish their Land Rover brand. It turned out that BMW had quietly kept the Rover brand rights and only allowed the consortium to use them. Ford backed up a dump truck full of cash to BMW HQ before the Chinese could. So SAIC ended up with the MG brand + cars, the Longbridge factory, some engineering resources, and the rights to some other cars they couldn't call Rovers.
They moved production to China but continued to import and assemble CKD kits in Longbridge until like 2016. MG ended up being pretty successful for them. The Rovers were renamed Roewe and they still sell a modernized range of MG derived luxury vehicles under that marque in China today.
Unrelated; but British Leyland had spun off their commercial vans (modernized Sherpas) into their own company at some point. I'm not sure when it adopted the LDV name, just that it did. LDV went under during the Great Recession and was also taken over by SAIC. The concern was rebranded Maxis, after LDV's last van model, which was their only big van that wasn't a Sherpa with lipstick.
My mother used to work in a British bank in London in the late 80s/ early 90s and she remembers how often Japanese businessmen and corporate clients would shop at Harrods and purchase real estate in the capital. It was absolutely unreal that at the time Britain was entering recession, Japan had ungodly amounts of money to splash on whatever they wanted.
Hugh Laurie: a man capable of receiving information in his ears without the aid of earbuds
It's a fucking comedy sketch, for fuck sake!
Hi Helen don't think you'll read this but I have a thing where I click on random user's profiles to try and get a sense of what kind of content complete strangers are consuming. Mostly to find new music and I must say that I love your taste. I've added some of your songs (in your public playlists) to mine. Thank you very much!
Hey Helen Ben here just got to say I also love what you are doing, I also have a thing where I stalk strangers, gotta say love what you are doing, keep it up. Also love the joker and Russel brand stuff...see you soon
True, but maybe it endorses the ending "all made up, or is it" giving us a clue at the start? Just a thought!!
Never thought Hugh Laurie could scare me and then he does
...OR IS IT??
G O O D D E A L.
This seemed so ridiculous when the sketch was first shown - now it seems frighteningly likely!!!!
''What about unemployment??!!''
"OH WHAT ABOUT UNEMPLOYMENT?" :)
:)
Christy Fearn "CHANGE THE BLEEDING RECORD"
YOU PEOPLE ARE OBSSESED AREN'T YOU?!
YES I HAVE TRIED THE PODS MYSELF
This seems so fitting, 25 years later.
this skit is genius and they just toss it off effortlessly
OR IS IT???? good lord these blokes are still relevant these many years later
I cracked up at "OHHH WHAT ABOUT UNEMPLOYMENT?!?!" XD
The meaningless rhetoric here rings disturbingly true in 2019
2021...
It still does...
...
and will probably always do...
It's actually becoming harder and harder to get some true intentions from politician's rhetoric nowadays IMO. Many of them are better trained in performing in front of media so they can cover their intentions even better with clichés and rhetoric that sometimes sounds almost honest.
@@bennylloyd-willner9667 Politicians true intentions are:
1. Make money
2. Make more money
3. Get fat pension if voted out (i.e. sacked)
4. Go on Strictly Come Dancing
5. Get a BBC TV series going around the world to look at the history of peddle bins or something else they can pretend to be "passionate about".
0:44 that'll be Rees-Mogg in a few days time.
Doesn't seem so silly in 2018
An A.I. Government would Literally be Laser operated. Because Fiber Optics Communications use Lasers. Even the technical facts are true, scary.
Honda, Russia, what's the difference, eh?
Because neither happened you demented hippie.
@@lastswordfighter You don't seem to understand comedy or insults. Lol @ "demented hippie" I'm sure it's the best you've got.
@@chris6969 it’s a good deal you demented hippie! A good deal, A GOOD DEAL
OH WHAT ABOUT UNEMPLOYMENT? I died.
yes, we laughed back then at this funny, but 'far fetched' sketch....now its indeed scarily accurate.
Even more so here in the future.
Oh did you guys not know that Britain has been a Megacorporation for decades now? Bit slow on the uptake aren't ya?
A bit of Laurie's face of the angry woman walking by and talking about writing a stiff letter (on cardboard) at the end there😊
This is absolutely brilliant.
"What about unemployment?" HIS VOICE
1:23 What about unemployment
"OH, WHAT ABOUT UNEMPLOYMENT?!"
CHANGE THE BLEEDING RECORD
No one does the whole privitisation freak politicians, bureaucrats or maderins better than Fry and Laurie. I always liked these kind of sketches, as well as the 'privitised police force' bit because it makes you realise, taken to its logical point, how absurd the whole idea of privitising everything really is and that its a political idea which deserves no credence whatsoever. Yet still does. Its a shame that, in hyperbolic humour, Fry and Laurie were actually prophetic about where we are now.
more relavant everyday .
Nigel who?
Is he talking about brexit?! 😂
That was the best part of the whole video.
"It's a completely silly idea"
*scrambles over couch*
"OR IS IT?"
This was funny a few decades ago, now it's just scary....
Stephen Fry channels his inner Graham Chapman.
tories summed up
they kinda predicted brexit. "it's a good deal!"
HAHAHA!! XD
OMG...I had actual tears of laughter while watching this sketch
...JUST BRILLIANT!
Hugh and Stephen Rock!
So the british government is worth less than minecraft?
it worth less then honda civic
Who isn't? =D
Shas'O Swoll yep
"What about the employement nyenyenyeee??" XD
Britain: The Power of Dreams
how is this so relevant 30 odd years later
I haven't seen this episode of Yes, Prime Minister before...
Needed Sir humphry in the background....
love that line --- change the bleeding record!
but i wonder if the person asking 'what about unemployment?' is actually hugh laurie? sounds like him...
Truer words never were said.
to be fair it sounds like a good deal for Britain
Sadly, this will no longer come to pass.
Honda have decided to pull out of Britain.
Maybe Unilever and the John Lewis Partnership will become interested again?
I’m confident they will pay a good price. Never knowingly undersold.
I see that you have the double spacing problem too.
Annoying, isn't it?
Someone assumed that I must go on reddit as a result. I've never been on reddit.
Ah, it appears that, by using Chrome, the problem disappears.
That's also annoying, as I don't like Chrome. This was just an experiment.
Too late. Already sold to the EU for an undisclosed sum. However, it is possible it will come back on the market, very soon, as the EU is rumoured to be having difficulty in integrating the UK into it's existing operations.
*cough* Huawei *Cough*
1:47-2:14.. Theresa May in every single interview.
Twitter sends me here to see how Brexit and Boris Johnson were predicted in 1995 bringing back a good deal
" Honda hasn't really brought the brittish gouverment, it's a pretty silly idéa. OR IS IT?" Haha,
10 years old today!
Fry and Laurie, they are the perfect prophets. It gets to be happening in South Korea.
I laughed so hard. Oh man.
Posted exactly 10 years ago.
Scary....... lol
The ending. Amazing.
At least they had a "good deal" back then. 😂
That has been favourited simply because the last bit made me piss myself.
TH-cam Recomendations:
2008 - No
2011 - No
2014 - Still no
2017 - Not yet
2019 - NOW!!
Man, I wish we had a lazer-operated governing system.
“Replacing all the houses with pods”
That aged perfectly
the disclaimer is actually a legal thing in the UK
@Jay Em yes it is. broadcasting news that is purposefull fake for comedy purposes without puting in a disclaimer is illegal in the UK
Kwasi Kwarteng come Monday.
2:22. ... Because I want to watch it in a loop
1:57
The, "good deal good deal"
2:25 so relaxing ❤
my soul was bought & sold by facebook... but now I tweet... freely.
gan9e yes i loaed my body and mind to whatsapp apparently!
1:13 hey, it's Boris Johnson on business. Charming (!)
i'd like to have this part as ringtone...
1:28 someone invite Honda to the Bundestag; we could need a laser operated governing system here in Germany right now…
Turns out, actually, that it was HSBC.. who'd have guessed..
1:12 that is how Ron DeSanctimonious behaves in front of the media. 😆😆😆
In 20 years people watching this will think "what was the joke?". After all, in a few months from now, health care will be bought by a media/hotel/travel company
hospital? trivago.
@@pnutz_2 Quite.
"Ha, imagine that. A multi billion dollar company buying into a first world government! Like that will ever happen!"
2016: Uhhhhh
When he keeps saying 'Good Deal' it reminds me of one episode of 'Home Movies' where Brenden's mom Paula keeps telling him "Have fun". Of course you'd have to watch it to understand... it just reminded me of it.
I'm going to Marry Stephen when he turns straight.
xD
This is a good deal!
OR IS IT!!!
“This is a good deal”
Here because of today
Gillian Keegan’s reflective practice.
oh my word! pause it at 2:26!
hahaha
I love you hugh laurie!
tehehe
Cutting-Edge Comedy from Stephen & Hugh *****
£400m in 1995 = £818m in 2021/2022. Still way undervalued even with inflation, must have been & still be in a truly sorry state.
Is "honda" interchangeable with "News Corp" ?
Historically accurate.
i now wish honda would actually seriously consider this. it's really better than what the country is facing.
The Duke from Resident Evil Village be like 1:57
1:40 Such a good deal for Britain.
02:25 hahahaha awesome.
Heh, so random at the end! XD
I liked the bit where he said it was a good deal for britain.
i love H.L.'s tie
They got it with unemployment, I have the new radio at the car at work and they mentioned unemployment once everyday
Very true
haha awesome sketch ! xD
I would probably welcome it at this point.
Hello everyone coming here for the new Brexit deal.
Oh, how relevant this still is.
