Let's examine this sketch: 1 - John Bluthall's hair 2- Mr. Lovely Legs Ireland 3 - The choosing of the chalk ceremony 4 - at 1:06 - the chalk 5 - at 1:14 - the Guiness Beer - watching this on the original broacast - the funniest thing i've ever seen as a 13 year old... 6 - at 1:57 - the reference card 7 - at 2:25 - the delayed 'x' 8 - at 2:40 - "The referee's having none of that and he's wiped it' 9 - at 3:14 - rubs off the X an absolutely astonishing sketch.
I was in a pub in Bray during the World Cup in the 90s it was very much like this sketch with the waiter spilling stuff and the lads scrapping round the tv screen
@@beneire6955 the one at the left side of the road where main drag comes to seafront big bar goes back long way I was pretty hammered myself at the time.
I love the goons , and Milligan, I have got many on his books, and quite a few goon shows on LP, I met Spike back in the eary 1970's at his art exhibition in Aldgate East London.
@@bobdownes162 I'm sure there must be some. The Irish outside of Dublin refer to Dubliners as 'little Brits'. The Dubliners refer to the rest of the population by an obscene Irish word, that I haven't found an English translation for! The best Celtic jokes about the English I've heard were by Welsh comedian Rob Brydon. They were rather gentle piss takes, rather like a younger brother teasing his big brother. I imagine if that had been a Scottish comedian the jokes would have been much more vicious.
Tis Irish Bob saying hello Bloody marvelous. When tv was worth watching and enjoying laughs with family and friends. Irish Bob enjoyed this sketch Enjoy yer weekend ahead 🤗😇😎🇮🇪🇨🇵🍀☘️🦾🩺🥂
@Station View black people tell jokes about black people.. asian people tell jokes about asian people.. ..and in this case a man with irish heritage is mocking irish people.. ..but I guess if you really search hard enough there's racism everywhere... it's become a really popular pastime...
The good old days when people could laugh at themselves , at each other and nobody was offended . These days it's just the opposite which is sad as laughter is a great healer .
What do you get if you cross Spike Milligan with Dave Allen? ~ They tried that once at their local lodge and got a serious warning from the pope and then a stern letter from the Irish PM's office ordering them to cease and desist immediately before one of them became pregnant...
As a proud Irishman i have to say ' only Spike could get away with that. The Guinness tray is just genius. 🇮🇪 😂
How?
The Guinness tray is Pure Genius (ref tv ad late 80s early 90s)
The wobbly tray of Guinness made me die of comedy-induced heart failure. No flowers, by request.
Guinness is either in the glass or down your throat.
"Milligan reached the parts that Others did not reach. " surreal genius
Let's examine this sketch:
1 - John Bluthall's hair
2- Mr. Lovely Legs Ireland
3 - The choosing of the chalk ceremony
4 - at 1:06 - the chalk
5 - at 1:14 - the Guiness Beer - watching this on the original broacast - the funniest thing i've ever seen as a 13 year old...
6 - at 1:57 - the reference card
7 - at 2:25 - the delayed 'x'
8 - at 2:40 - "The referee's having none of that and he's wiped it'
9 - at 3:14 - rubs off the X
an absolutely astonishing sketch.
And the 10 second ducks, urine retention card and "that was an absolute beta blocker" 😂😂😂
absolutley brillian
John Bluthall getting a real punch from Spike 3:57
Hysterically Amusing like no other. RIP Spike Milligan.
Think I first watched this in '84 and down the years the memory of that wobbly tray of Guiness has remained. Joy.
Riveting stuff. I was on the edge of my seat.
That wobbly tray of Guinness rules!! LOL
Spike. They broke the mold when they made him.... Thank God..
Good old Spike.
And a great set design with props for that sketch.
Yes the beer tray was fabulous,brilliant
Reminds me of World of Sport with Dickie Davis. I got a pain laughing at this. I love Dick Scratcher's hair.
I love his name! 🤣🤣
Mad as a box of frogs. Brilliant.
The skill of that Waiter, manoeuvering that tray of Guinness,
belongs being entered in some Book of Records of some sort.
I do miss Spike Milligan..brilliantly funny..
I was in a pub in Bray during the World Cup in the 90s it was very much like this sketch with the waiter spilling stuff and the lads scrapping round the tv screen
Which pub?

'Quiet for the bastard'
Half Irish myself , and it, and my other half were both in stitches.....!
Been Lookin' for years to find Irish jokes concerning the English - Alas - Can't find any.

Spike was the original comedy genius that all others tried to follow.
Like Glasgow on a Sat night ( and every other night )😂
Laughed till I cried..a comic genius.
That tray of beer is the most fantastic prop!
‘Kin brill - “they’re psyching each other out” 😂
I want one of them wobbly Guinness trays!
I'm happy with my wobbly Guinness legs.
Smiths..?
Such skill and power takes years of training.
Ha, i remember watching this in 1978, 5 years before i was born, and... ah, wait... - oh, i all confused now!
Tis Irish Bob saying hello
Bloody marvelous. When tv was worth watching and enjoying laughs with family and friends.
Irish Bob enjoyed this sketch
Enjoy yer weekend ahead
🤗😇😎🇮🇪🇨🇵🍀☘️🦾🩺🥂
Oh my goodness, a Spike Milligan treasure trove
Superb, always loved spike and the other performers are equally brilliant 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Spike gave the Irish an absolute hammering and he loved every minute of it
@Station View
he's mocking himself... his father was from Sligo..
he doesn't seem to find it 'debilitating'...
@Station View

Genius , you can't go wrong with spike and co
I'm half Irish and half English
The Irish half loved it 😁😁
The English half felt guilty about offending others 😟
It's not "the English half" You are clearly brainwashed to feel guilty. I am English and don't feel guilt at all but then I am not a sheeple.
@@bongobob7079 perhaps I was being sarcastic Bob the English half loved it too ☺
@@mwain66 don't explain yourself. I don't think Bob qets it. Made me chuckle tho.
@Mullard 5Y3 Absolutely right the English half would hate to offend any sjw's
The Irish half however does give a ....
Feel free to insert a word.👍
Original unique zany but always brilliant.Spike was all of these god bless him
"Told you he was sick." RIP mate. You done y'self proud.
Don't you dare take the piss outa the irish ! ...
they do it perfectly well themselves .
I remember this sketch, if only for the fact that Mum was in tears of laughter about the referee with the skinny legs!!
Dick Scratcher....what a name.
It must have been so much fun working on these shows. A dream job to work with Spike.
The Beer Tray....Brilliant!
I hope our Irish Friends take it in good spirit.
Doesn't even have to be good spirit. We'll take whatever you've got...
Lewis Carroll is not dead, he is producing the darts and snooker programmes on the BBC.
You can trace the entirety of British comedy to Spike Milligan. Rarely does the word genius feel insignificant.
Just so Good . Miss Spike 😂❤️
Daughter of Mr & Mrs Spike, presumably?
The good old days when people could laugh at themselves , at each other and nobody was offended . These days it's just the opposite which is sad as laughter is a great healer .
Complete and total madness!!!!!!!! The Baron of Bonkers, the King of Komedy, the Prince of Proofrock.... Shakespeare, move over!!!!!
Laura C
spike is great!!!!
The guy with the tray of beer was hilarious, this was real comedy, RIP spike.
Why don't the BBC or ITV cover this competition more often?
I love the stolen British Rail cutlery !!!! WTF
I think alcohol is a pre-requisite to enjoying this sketch!
It’s a pre-requisite to pretty much everything.
This is an obvious parody of the worst of darts at the time . Brilliantly done . Hilarious .
I loved the tray of Guinness!
brilliant
class.
Hilarious! Another Milligan classic!
watch darts on TV and this doesn't seem so ridiculous
Or snooker.
classic comedy
insanity is fun !
Lunacy at its best!!😂😂😂
Comedy genius
Oh my that was fun ...
Innocent humour which says a great deal against this day of foulpest that we have to live through
Good old Spike.
The guy in grey suit is Frank from Vicar of Dibley :)
Not to mention both of the contestants and the referee genuflecting when it dropped!
How politically incorrect, loved it again.
he told you he was ill, nutty nu nacker sketch, you wont be cross, top stuff
" God bless rhe Spike""
Dick Scratcher - priceless
I see where Reeves and Mortimer got 'Talc n Turnip' now
Pmfslf !! So funny I can't stop laughing at it!

The X guy looks so much like Michael Scott, (Steve Carell) from the Office!
Urine retention card 😂
Bring back proper comedy like this we should make all the lefty snowflakes watch this, they would be screaming to leave the room hilarious
'On de bottom on de bottom' as I typed the last time I saw this vid.
'Skye Sport' LOL :)
Rip spike
the tray of pints lmao
Hey, the Irish are experts at this. Ce'ad Mile Fa'ilte.
Orson Welles memorial brewery. Haha. Where'd that come from?
OXO! And, if you see my name on a tomb stone, you'll know that I came second in the duelling contest.
@GlowWorm1962 What you forget is that Spike Milligan had an Irish passport.

the tray of Guinness, unrail funny!!
About right for the potatoes
Did you put SKYE SPORT on here?
🤝
Nephilim Phil Lynott!
