Yes. I'm so glad I listened to my parents about this sort of thing, because if I hadn't I would be stuck watching Mean Girls and Twilight like all the other 14 year olds I know. Sometimes you're parents do know best, children.
Great jousting with words throughout, e.g., 4:33 Dud interpreting a "jazz abbreviation": "Turn me on, baby - Turn, FOR me, in parenthesis: 'the light', on, baby". 4:40 Pete: "Rather like the German: 'I, out of the door, go, must".
Not offensive in any shape or form. Actually quite respectful to R&B music in my opinion. Ultimately it’s comedy. It’s funny, and it’s not meant to offend anyone. For all the snowflakes, it’s a celebration of black music of the early 50s and 60s.
5:49 "And we're left with the underlying question: Was it right for the mother to squander her money on these gaily coloured plastic bags? Wouldn't she have better spent it in re-wiring the entire house?" British absurdist humour at its best.
You could do this sort of thing now (and people do, e.g. Dave Chappel) but it looks and feels different becuase humor and sensibility change so rapidly. Somebody doing this exact skit today would not be relevant, and that's a good thing.
Priceless trying not to laugh at "You're burning up now baby"
Beyond brilliant & groovy, Dudley n’ Peter;
Love you two genii forever and EVER.
Unutterable bliss.
Classic British humour, will never fade away !
Musical and comical genius - timeless
2 geniuses - so under appreciated these days, but least those of us in the know can enjoy them

One of their absolute classic sketches alongside "Dirty Uncle Bertie" and "One Legged Tarzan".

I love them both but Dud was a riot here.
Surely we ARE going to carry on groove now Baby?!…Why is this even a question?! 🤗
The original Reeves and Mortimer. Both uniquely British and absurd. Brilliant.

Bo Dudley sounds very Sophisticae himself🤣😂🤣
I can imagine High Laurie and Stephen Fry doing this. But this is genius!

Fantastic! Not PC any more, though. :(
Yes it's bloody stupid 🙄
Haha! XD These guys were hilarious! Shame that they're gone now.
Brilliant! I'd suggest adding the word "irony" to the tags for this.
Mmmmmm!!!

Education at it's best. You need to understand.................. Brit humour
So politically incorrect...love it😂😂😂
What year? What year?
Sixties - Seventies
@@virghammer1 Thanks. Hahahahahhaha.
Sixties, absolutely.
I find political correctness is a lot more offensive than comedy
Thet couldnt do this now. Killjoys like harry Connick jnr would whine like a EH DIFF

A cheap laugh.
