The legend of Mrs Badcrumble.
She’s fahkin nuts!
A tale as old as time itself
An amazing comedian
A fantastic actor
The 140 people who disliked this played tuba
"Piano, piano!"
"It's not a fucking piano! It's a clarin-art! You weird-talking person."
Never gets old.
I know
"The school band will now murder Oh Come All Ye Faithful" I lost it :D
saaammee X'D
Jordan Lark "Helmets will be worn for this performance"
...GO!
"I have to watch telly and drive cars now, it's the pressure of being an adult"
Dead 💀😂
"Alright, I'll learn the violin but you won't like it! I will make a bad noise!!"- never gets too old. I still laugh my head off!!!
I played the violin in middle school. My younger cousin took it up not long after. But she actually stuck with it. I have always been a much better singer than I was with any instrument not attached to my body.
I gave up flute and joined choir when it came around too.
I like how Eddie pronounces "sexy tunes" like it's a brand name, as in; "101 Songs for the Weasel, by Edna Badcrumble, published by SEXITUNES © Inc."
Dead 😂
Brilliant
Edna Mode's twin sister
As a former oboe player in school I nearly died from the blowing into a weasel part 🤣🤣🤣💀
conductor: ... Go!
students: 🎼📯🎶🎷🎻🎵🎺🐹🔺️🥁🎶
no conducting, just "go"
funniest part, hands down.
I LOVE how you got the hamster cheeks in!
I love this entire bit, but the "...GO!!" makes me absolutely lose it every time
it really shows his brilliance that every comment here is about a different joke
So true
It's true - I want to comment on a gag no-one else mentioned!
As a small child, I actually chose the tuba. Because it was three times my size and everyone thought it was hilarious- joke's on them, because no one plays it particularly well and because I can get a clean note out, I'm in about a million orchestras.
That's awesome :D
Maddie Barraclough But u don't get to play the interesting bits
No, the only bass instrument to play interesting bits is the drums.
Not quite. It's just the old lady I imagined when Eddie started talking about Mrs. Badcrumble! She's got a tartan dress and a blue jumper & wields a clarinet.

How on Earth could anyone be so uptight as to not love this? This is great stuff!
Clarinet section 🖐 hands.
“The song has been arranged with no real care.” Always funny
all these years later, I still come back to THIS clip when I need to laugh.
He's the best! I do the same... When I really want a good laugh😆😆😆😂😂😂😂😆❤️
Yup... Any of Eddie’s stuff
As a violinist, I can definitely attest to the horrendous noise that I was making when I was first learning. "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star" still gives me and my parents nightmares.
Eddie is absolutely hilarious. Possibly the greatest stand-up comedian of all time.
giligara30492 i know this is late, but PROBABLY? He is the best!
giligara30492 He is the Definite Article! A gift from James Mason’s voice!!
I started playing the violin in 4th grade and as you know we were instructed to practice. It wasn't until years later my sister told me she hated the sound of it!😀
Eddie looks fucking stunning here
"The cello, slightly bigger, with the spike at the bottom that kills you", this might honestly be my favourite joke of all time...
Lol, exactly! Our son is a cellist ☺
"Yeeayeeeeaahyeeeyeeeeeaaah fahkin' ell." --Violin
For some reason my whole class "learned" the play the recorder
The sounds were something out of a feverdream
the reason you never grasped: ALL kids in public schools learn to play an instrument by starting with the recorder. (duh!)
@@nowvoyagerNEAll kids learn on recorders... But WHYYYYY???? GOD, WHHYYYYY???
@@themaggattack : my, you ARE stupid. because *real* instruments are expensive.
I feel you, I had the same experience, but with an oboe
Starting out, it's like a dying duck that sits on a fire alarm
Weasel! Weasel!
This show was eddie on his absolute TOP form :D
Still great too.
God I love the old specials one of the best comedians ever (in my miiiind)
Wow this was great, haven't seen Eddie in awhile. Dressed To Kill one of my fave stand up specials if all time! Just beyond smart!
"piano! piano!" "it's not a fucking piarno, it's a clarinart!" brilliant
The kettle drums part is priceless haha
He is so damned adorable.
I thought I was going to come apart at the seams when he said "It's like trying to blow into a weasel." I believe the blast of laughter I let out may have registered on the Richter scale.
Lee Brown I laughed so hard a little pee came out!
"True story" Eddie said it first!
"Oh. My. GOD. We have spawned the devil." 😂😂😂
No matter how many times I see this, and I could recite Definite Artic!e word for word, it still makes me laugh. Every now and then, I will say 'weasel, weasel, weasel' for no reason. Try it, it's deeply amusing. You're welcome.
Gotta love me some Eddie Izzard
"Entire school band in fifteen seconds" may be his best bit. :-)
He knows. Fantastic Artist. He always knows what is seriously joking about. I play the clarinet. That's exactly as he says it is.
I love Eddie! Still one of the best comedians EVER.
As a tuba player, I can vouch for this. On the other hand, I can play a mean rendition of "The Professionals".
That, dear sir or madam, is very impressive!
"WE WILL SHAG HIM AS SOON AS WE KNOW HOW!" lol XD
very funny bit. especially for anyone who's played an instrument, eddie gets it perfectly.
I am like EDDIE and still a hopeless child in spirit.
When I was in high school we had a bagpipe band and my neighbor tried learning. It was a hideous noise for a few months, but he eventually got the hang of it.
I’m glad i get to see all him live on all his tours! He is funny af! Never a dull moment,
GO!!
All of it is sheer brilliance, but that part about the Third Part being 'all the notes left over' is SO true!
My sides are so sore-what a hoot!
I actually found my copy of A tune a day this week. 🤣😁😜
I was 3rd clarinet too playing three notes 😊
Love Eddie Izzard, still the best
1:33 Practising:
YEEEEHYEEEEHYEEEEHYEEEEHYEEEEOHBLOODYHELL
"It's piaaaaaaano. It's piaaaaaaano"
"Its not a fkn piaaaaaaano its a Clarrrrinarrrt"
As someone who learnt four instruments and hated all of it not being very good at any of them and part of a choir for 9 years as I grew up, this is possibly my favourite comedy sketch. Ever.
PS. "Weasel Weasel!"
It's a clariNOT!
Stop practicing, I have a bought a hammer!
my boys are hoping to get to play instruments next year this is all I could think about lol hehehehehe
How are they getting on?
Hopefully you let them play guitar...!
@@annmitchell4663 And drums!
The tempani silencing is what got me xD
My 5 siblings and I were ALL made to join the band. I met my husband in college band. So, as one does (muahahaha!), I made MY kids join band. I'd badly wanted to play French horn, but due to physical impediments, it wasn't allowed, so when the band director decided that my daughter was best suited to French horn, she was (naturally) very much against the idea.
With her (in later years, very expensive) French horn, she earned a full ride college scholarship.
Anybody else want a pair of those boots?
Genius love him he makes me laugh like im goin to pass out !!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love him, so cute and funny
I wish I hadn't had to cut out when you visited Rapid City. It would have been lovely to have been able to participate in the Q&A afterwards. Great show ❤ I'm glad you stopped in our little corner of the prairies. 😛 I saw Dress to Kill back in the day, and I still find myself quoting it often. "Do you have a flag? ...CAKE OR DEATH. Well, I'll have the chicken, then." ❤
I watched that and thought, "Shit, I'm gluten intolerant."
@@thedancingdivaofdaviestree2320 😂I am, too.
It strikes me that Eddie is some kind of a British Robin Williams. 😂
No matter how many times I watch his routines, he always cracks me up!
we must dance provocatively ha ha
I went to the same primary school as Eddie izzard and I think that we all came out slightly odd, xx
My school band were actually good. We went on foreign tours to a different country every 2 years. And we played some large venues like the Dixieland festival, I think it was that one, in Germany.
Damn
I remember buying this on VHS when it came out. The box had a lovely velvety bit on the cover for where her jacket was. It felt really cool and groovy buying stand up by someone that (at that time) still identified as male (lesbian) but wore clothes made for women. I'm not tv but I loved that fact that she brought all that front and centre. She was so androgynous which is so attractive in a person. It gave the confidence and dont give a fuckety fuck to wear nail polish in public. I still enjoy that it confuses people (I'm a he/him).
I can concur as a child forced to learn clarinet because my eldest sister couldn't as my parents couldn't afford the lessons at the time for her.
I wanted to learn tap dancing
Ten years old. Music lessons offered at my school. So, of course, I desperately wanted to play the violin (so romantic?? lol). My parents, both accomplished musicians themselves, said, "No, the violin is far too difficult. It's tenor sax or nothing."
whut? nooo
Well, that sax+case weighed more than I did. So, on "music days," my best friend and I used it as a "bench" while we waited for the school bus.
Right up until I quit those lessons.
Mmmhm...in the third torturous month.
Ah, memories!
"I know, I'll get their parents to listen to this and then maybe they'll kill 'em." 😂😂 As a parent I can testify to the truth of this. School bands are painful.
kettle drum jump! and i DIED of laughter
I love the clarinet
"Who chooses to play the tuba?" I did..... and I love it!
I literally lol every time I see this bit....the kettle drum part is priceless !! I fricken love Eddie !
There are two instruments worse than a clarionet: two clarionets." (sic)
- Ambrose Bierce
Brilliant!
have been binge watching your clips for days, thank you for making us laugh with the most intelligent material, cheeks hurt from laughing-----free facelift 🤣🤣🤣 no doubt my favorite commedian/historian/language teacher 👍 one can't top this whole package 0:36 LOLS
I played the clarinet as a kid as well and I do completely and utterly agree.
I died at 6:00
"Piarno, Piarno"
"It's not a fuckin Piarno, its a Clarin-art!"
Eddie you’re the best! 💖 if I would have known you were on TH-cam I’ve would have watched these over and over. I used to watch your stand up when it came out. So glad to enjoy again, it’s timeless!
... you're* the best ...
@@einundsiebenziger5488 thanks for pointing out my bad grammar, (usually *) I’m pretty good at catching mistakes like that.
When I was in middle school I found a couple of your videos! My friends and I would do the show at school and every where! Now I’m finding amazing ones still to this day lol greatness
The timpani bit... That was so accurate...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Eddy..., my FAVOURITE for ever!!!! Eva, Belgium
I picked up playing flute in high school and still play many moons later. And this bit had me just dying! 🤣🤣🤣⚰️
I love it. This is classic and very funny. Thanks.
"Stop practicing! You sound crap! I bought a hammer! You may borrow it if you wish!" I'm dead!
His clarinet noises are so wonderful haha
Genius
"A Tune a Day" ?! OMG I remember that! Pale blue A4 book. Mine was for the piano tho. Still not at all sexy.
A Tune a Day for trombone - Mum said it sounded like a dying cow when I practised 😂
Eddie Izzard is brilliant
.... I used a #2 reed. Played at the 1964 World's Fair. Have recovered.
enjoying his autobiography very much .... amazing bloke/lady. Whatever mode he's in.
brilliant
Great stuff
clarinart- crying by now
I have my tickets Eddie.
I can relate to this....first recorder, then violin and at the end french horn. I was shit with all of them. But I turned out to be a fantastic engineer. So really happy.
Anyone else notice the Macbeth script behind him?
I played The Drums and guitar when I was a young lass Matey's
Well, don't stop now!
Love that jacket.
I love the bit where he says the only way to make it fun was to blow it really loud. You just know Eddie really did that.
He looks like a cross between Caesar Romero as The Joker and Liza Minnelli.
This is amazing.
I got put with the bass guitar in grade 10, I still play it 6yrs later
