Love Benny Hill ever since I first saw his show in the 70's here in Tennessee. I'm partial to British comedy and noticed several skits/jokes that would pop up in Are You Being Served. Just an observation.
Hysterical sketch with Patricia Hayes, "The Knock". The camera tricks of "Soap Box Jury" in 1961 were masterful for it's time. The masterpiece in this video clip is the timed action to the music heard on the radio.
Benny Hill was a comic genius, in my opinion. It's up to this generation to keep his comedy out there and on going through on-line video sites. All of his comedy...from these BBC sketches to the sketches he did at Thames Television...is great.
Benny did this for the fun not the money!they canceled his show then he went into depression and just sat in his chair and died with uncashed checks all around him. so sad I say we lost a good one here!
I recently learned that he fashioned himself, his comedy after Charlie Chaplin, his idol or who he admired, maybe even a little WC Fields as well. And now looking at his skits I see their essence threaded within Benny's comedy albeit I have only seen bits of Chaplin's art. WC FIELDS is also a damn hilarious character too, I love him as well. Benny reflects both them in both his looks and behavior . Wow I never knew that, I just enjoy so much of how they are able to make me laugh til I pee my pants LOL.
Jackie Ellabella he actually was a great fan of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, W. C. Fields, all the silent comic genius. He used to have films, tapes, videos of all their movies, and sometimes he would invite Sue Upton to his apartment to come and watch the movies, she said sometimes watching a Chaplin film made him cry. So you can imagine his surprise when many many years later he went to Chaplin’s house in Switzerland and invited by his family (Chaplin’s) he saw on the fireplace mantle videos of his show The benny Hill...Charlie’s son said he was a great fan of his kind of comedy, Benny actually sat down and cried the emotions were too much for him according to his producer Kirkland.
@@alfie081 And the Two Ronnies Mastermind sketch where he answers the previous question was done by Benny Hill first, only his wasn't Mastermind,it was a TV link gone wrong.
It wasn't. Well, not according to Eddie Braben when he was interviewed by Mark Lewisohn. Eddie who came up with the idea for this sketch, said that he had no knowledge of Benny Hill having written a similar sketch.
Benny Hill made a joke that he captured Hitler and let him go! Only Benny Hill could get away with a joke like that! He looked like Charlie Chaplin! Hilarious!
Some of that was a bit dated and weak, but I was surprised how much of it was actually pretty risque for the time. He must've been sailing pretty close to the censor's wind with some of it. I'm a LONG time Benny fan, so I think it's fair to say that some of it wasn't very funny, but some parts were hilarious. As always though, he has some very clever word-play going on at all times.
Thanks for all your BH uploads. First time I've seen many of them. Benny could do it all. He made most comedians, especially current-day ones, seem pathetic amateurs.
I am totally impressed. His comic and other talents are extraordinary. What couldn't he do?

I love Benny's little smirks for the camera.
He was a real comic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pure comedic genius. RIP Benny

Same here
@ 4:40 Clever stuff with the queeny. Luckily the council found pitty and let that old couple live in the Bucky house.
Benny was the best!!!!
He still is the best
I was upset when they took it off the air
The eviction mix up was a brilliant social commentary!

The best he was truly funny
Loved the “Peanut Vendor” song in the soap box jury scene.
Benny did this for the fun not the money!they canceled his show then he went into depression and just sat in his chair and died with uncashed checks all around him. so sad I say we lost a good one here!
Yes. When humans where humans. He was a great man for sure.

Benny Hill who started the late night show, the talent show...
Never realised that one of the most famous Morcambe & Wise skits making breakfast to music was based on Benny Hill's original 10 years or so earlier.
Yes and Monty Pythons dead Parrott sketch was taken from Bennys stuffed bird sketch.

@@simonlevett4776 I find it hard to believe another writer could come up with almost the identical sketch purely by chance.
Benny at his best
Genius
So that is where Eric and Ernie got the idea!
Szkoda że tych starych odcinków nigdy nie puścili w Polsce.
How did the Academy miss this??
Love documentary about Q. Elizabeth 2.
She is so beautiful .
11:25 now we know where Rowan Atkinson ripped that segment from.
No Trump jokes. So refreshing
Yes,he is.
Benny Hill made a joke that he captured Hitler and let him go! Only Benny Hill could get away with a joke like that! He looked like Charlie Chaplin!
Hilarious!

Your Right Benny is the best man I Don’t believe this So Halallorus
I bet , benny hill at his childbirth has made the parody of his mother
I've just realised how often old Ben used to reuse his scripts.
Is Brigadier Windpipe played by Hugh Paddick at 2:23?
Benny did film and TV spoofs much better than Stanley Baxter did. Kept the sketches short, and had better material.
Is this what Elton John ment in his song Benny and the Jets?
P😎👌😝
ANYBODY WHO IS OFFENDED BY BENNY HILLS HARMLESS COMEDY THAT INVOLVES NOTHING BUT CONCENTING ADULTS ? I THINK THEY ARE THE ONES WITH THE PROBLEM.

Benny and the jests......Great title. Elton would be pleased though he's as funny as the flu.
If you have ever seen Elton John on Saturday Night Live he is funny and a good sport.
Is this where Elton got the title for his song?
Elton is as funny AF doing a duet for charity with Alan Partridge. 🎶Don’t go breaking my heart…🎶
Elton John?
Baby boomers 🎂🎭
Not terribly funny in the early days. The stuff after this point, post '68 started to be the good stuff.
Thanks for all your BH uploads. First time I've seen many of them. Benny could do it all. He made most comedians, especially current-day ones, seem pathetic amateurs.
You are very welcome!
