'And a man as exquisitely fashioned as you Captain Jennings, would look even more becoming on, beneath, behind and, for my own benefit, several inches within me.'
I can never watch pride and prejudice or any other Austen story the same way again. These 2 are fantastic. Ben actually looks pretty good in this time period.
'And it may interest you to know that beneath the restrictions of my pantaloons, there's a protrusion so monstrously tumescent, that if you were to avail yourself of it, I guarantee that your horse would see no action for a week.'
I must admit that I did create some similar, although briefer, dialogue to accompany a dance scene with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle in the excellent BBC Pride and Prejudice back in the 90's.
I once imagined a similar one while watching the superb BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. When Darcy (Colin Firth) ask Elizabeth (Jennifer Ehle) whether she would do him the honour of the next dance and she says, 'I thank you, no', I imagined him saying, 'To be followed by a damn good seeing-to in one of Bingley's upstairs chambers'. And she replies, 'I thank you, yes.'
Why has the BBC consigned this amazing Comedy Duo to quiz hosting and panel shows? If they had done the same with Morecambe & Wise and the Two Ronnies, their endless "21st Century" Christmas Programming would be non-existent.

Frankly now that you poeple have the liberty to say such things, you should say them in such a way. 😅 This sketch took the best of two timeperiods and mashed it together masterfully
This reminds me of Lieutenant Rzhevsky jokes😅 they are usually set in the 1810's aristocratic Russian ballrooms (sometimes involving characters of War and Peace) and he usually says something like this to the ladies (and even worse)
@stretch654, a-line dresses on the women, cravats and knee stockings on the men, a chamber music ensemble rather than waltzes, a reference to Wellington, and the fact that the sketch parodies Jane Austen who was 70 years dead by the Edwardian era. I know I read like an absolute smartass but I don't expect everyone to know this stuff and still glad to help.🙂

OMG-- "it will leave me walking like an orphan with rickets!" I am dying!!
These two were so good.

👍👍👍
Those were the good old days of courtship.

I continue to court in this manner! Tis Friday evensong.🐶🐶

🤣🤣🤣

mmgringoire2 If you've never seen Mitchell and Webb's take on Austen, you truly haven't lived!
@@CaptainLumpyDogFreestyle disco dancing indeed ;-)
I seriously like to think that this was how people hit on each other back in the day... so incredibly poetic 🤣
Just brilliant - every line.
They just keep dancing, and dancing....brilliant :-)
" ..as elegantly formed as it is epically proportioned.." Oh, MY yes....:)
Just the best comedy...... wish they were still on in this programme. So clever!
I agree.
Me too......
'And it may interest you to know that beneath the restrictions of my pantaloons, there's a protrusion so monstrously tumescent, that if you were to avail yourself of it, I guarantee that your horse would see no action for a week.'
I love that they make absolutely no pretense of doing any sort of known dance.
Couldn’t help watching the dance scenes in Sanditon and thinking of these sketches.
I have learned a lot from video.I shall use this technique when I go dancing to club.
Their behaviour is utterly…..UTTERLY…depraved…louche…temptatious…unfetteredly…straightforwardly…honest and direct.
I like to think Jane Austen would’ve laughed her ass off at this.
No, She would have left her arss back in the stable from whence came after she dismounted it!
Been looking for this series of characters for ages, thanks, never guffawed so much!
It will leave me walking like an orphan with rickets, and on that note...
So I'm not the only one who imagines these scenarios in Jane Austen.

These were the scenes in Jane Austens time!
Such were the days of romantic utterances.
“Jane Austin: the uncensored version…”
Wonderful stuff. Thank God for the Poms…..!
Blimey I really need to brush up on my readings of Austen...
Like an orphan with ricketts is a personal best along with dry as a ships biscuit.

Totally agree.
Most of this humour is now un-correct and no longer suitable for broadcast.
@@SampleTracks2224You mean it's actually funny? ;-)
"...leave me walking like an orphan with rickets."
Woof Woof! 😂
Lorraine Hamilton precisely...
The inspiration behind Bridgerton
The out takes of this would be worth posting. I'd say it took more that a couple of takes to get it done!😂
Pure filth love it, but I bet people were like that back then lol
Oh no, they were much, much dirtier:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Secret_Life_(erotic_memoir)
+RFC3514 Thank you that book will be perfectly suitable to enhance my sick mind ;)
Ooh thats good *writes it down*
This must be Apocrypha not usually included in the Austen Canon.
The first one is still the best.
Well, that line always worked for me.
Brilliant, dry as a ships biscuit.
The way they probably actually talked.
Wonder if anyone finds the music kinda awesome and catchy
Well written, clever and funny. Unlike the shit that passes for comedy these days.
Oh god this was only like eight years ago. Unless you are 18 that is 'These days'.
Who are the two actresses I'd like to what other work they have done ?
Filthy...but genuinely arousing
Aren't these the rushes for Bridgerton?
Ok, young people, you see how funny comedy can be when there’s no swearing
Man, Jane Austen had a dirty mind!

Screams "suppose we fix the date this week!"
Yes, siree, spring disposes
That it's all one supposes
It's a real bed of roses
Waggin' tails, rubbin' noses.

The next is some other's day
When all is King

And he says ass a lot right? I think I’ve heard of these jokes.
@@ruthie8785 he absolutely does!
In which year would this have actually taken place? I'm guessing around 1790-ish. Anybody care to specify more accurately?
You're pretty much on the mark.
Due to a mention of the duke of wellington, it's gotta be post 1814 as the title of duke of wellington didn't exist prior to then
It must be later, because trousers and dark coats were not in until Wellington's time.
The Regency (1811-1820).
Johan Herrenberg Bingo.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂monstruous protrusion
Ah, simpler times.
Ah, the good old days.
This is great 😂
This is how men and women should speak to each other social engagements.
Hilarious! If Pride and Prejudice were this good, I would have finished it.
Please. TH-camrs everywhere. Equalise your bloody volumes. Its really not so difficult
Woof woof!
I can't help thinking that they're talking about sex
Really??? ;-)
Ah yes! Those wonderful Edwardian period dramas .. so civilized .. so genteel - except for this one.
@stretch654, perhaps because it's regency.
@@chrisevans5245 Yeah, i don't know. Is there any way of telling the difference between the 2 periods?

Like a rude pride and prejudice
maybe this was the uncensored version of Pride and Prejudice the public wasn't allowed to read...
Rude and Prejudice
Slim chance? Maybe not. There is a running theme going on here mind. Other Peoples Money. RIP so many actors and actresses seen over the years.
Sam, Sam, Picket Up Your Duke Of Wellington's Musket.
So, did this inspire Bridgerton?
Or perhaps it was, ' . . . I guarantee that your horse would see no action for at least a week.'
So ridiculously rude. I'm waiting for these chat up lines in Sandton.
Comedy gold
Everything sounds better in Victorian English!
Or Georgian English, perhaps?

Anyone here from Bridgerton?
Really, really funny.
Raunchy, Rude and Stylish Proper Adult comedy which they don't really do anymore
Good grief.
Portuguese sailors arm 😂
Absolutely hilarious!!! Thankgod the woke brigades didn't exist when this was broadcast 😂😂😂😂😂
So funny

I bet this is actually what they did. Dirty rotters.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣
is it just me or is this incredibly raunchy?
