Joanna Lumley is really good at that awkward physical comedy where just her movement can make you laugh, despite being such an elegant woman in real life. By the way the bottle is actually Stolichnaya (Vodka) which Patsy proceeds to drink directly from the bottle! No way would Patsy drink wine... nowhere near a high enough alcohol content!
I love the very rare moments when Eddie protects and saves Saffy like at her wedding and when she helps deliver her baby. (And when she tricks her into flashing her chest!)
I love when she sticks up for her daughter like here and when she stops her marrying that little creep Paulo. Yes their relationship isn't perfect but there is certainly love there from both sides.
While I love Eddy defending her daughter, my favourite thing in the whole scene is her reaction “after” she hits him, she looks genuinely confused at her mother instinct kicking in - almost like a “what the hell was that” reaction.
I love the genius of it. Eddy is always trying to fight her maternal instinct with Patsy's enthusiastic encouragement. Jennifer Saunders has so much depth in her creation of this character. One minute she is selling Saf off, the next protecting her.
Everyone's body language is top tier in this scene, but I love Patsy's the most! She's like a cat! Wants the bottle, but is also very wary of said bottle and the hand attached to it.
I live in Louisville, Kentucky, and used to frequent a neighborhood corner pub called Seidenfaden's. Sunday nights were "movie nights" and once the barkeep let me pick what we'd watch. I suggested an AbFab marathon, and she thought that was a great idea. When the day came, I showed up early (dressed as Saffy's dad, complete with sweater and tie), and Laura, the barkeep, put on a few episodes to get us started. The afternoon crowd weren't there to see a movie, they were just working class middle aged men just there for a drink after work, and who cared not a whit for British anything. Within five minutes of us putting AbFab on, all conversation ceased. These men were RIVETED by the foul mouthed antics of Eddy and Pats -- they'd never seen anything like it before. This episode was the third one we watched, and when Eddy punched the lecher professor, the working class men erupted in cheers.
But Jennifer Saunders knows who Ab Fab's biggest supporters are. That's why Eddie & Patsy have been to Pride and why Eddie said "All my friends are gay!! Gay people love me, oh yeah..!"
Eddie reminds me so much of my late sister. A party girl and somewhat self involved. She loved her daughter (my niece) but really was confused about how to show it. Every so often she'd have moments like these, where her love for her daughter overwhelmed her and she did whatever she could to protect her (punching was not out of the question)
I love the way patsy goes to grab the bottle, she’s confused why saffys aggressively giving her a drink but she wants to take it Props to gran for mentioning that he’s married and letting saffy know before anything happens Good job Eddie
I love how confused Eddy is by her sudden surge of motherly instinct - not like she's against it or anything, just that it doesn't crop up so often. Saffy having necessarily become self-sufficient, she doesn't really need her mother's help very often. Slightly sad amidst the laughs, but this is probably one of Saffy's best memories of her mother.
Patys’s reaction when Saf gave her the drink 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣she wasn’t sure what was happening and didn’t know what to do with herself, she was even scared to take the bottle,😂😂🤣🤣
is funny that when Saffy's in real stress. that's when she acts like a real mother. well there's that one one ep she stops saffy's wedding with a odd guy and slowly realizing there wedding's going to go wrong. so she just stopped them from kissing. she did try to explain but Saffy's to upset to hear it. but she got over it before the ep ended.
One of my very favorite Ab-Fab scenes! I had to save it to my Fandoms playlist. I just love how Eddy simply walks to the guy and punches him in the face, no conversation needed, and how Saffy is so shocked that Eddy would stand up for her!
I wish my mum had had the balls to do that to my now ex husband who was emotionally abusive to me for 26 years. When she cottoned on to what he was like when he started the drama and manipulation when we were on a day out in South Wales several years ago, she pointed her finger at him and told him off. She hadn't done that before because she always believed that she should never intervene between husband and wife... But my mum who died in 2016, really rocked that day... well done to my mum! xx
Jamie Hudson where was she going to learn that? When you’re controlled and manipulated, your self worth is stripped down. There are many reasons a woman doesn’t leave. Look up a local domestic violence agency in your area and learn something yourself.
Every time I’ve watched this scene, it always makes me wonder that Gran didn’t know exactly what she was doing and in some way knew Eddie would react like that.
In most episodes the gran character plays false naivity , making loaded statements with the insidious intention of exposing hypocrisy or just simply to cause trouble, all the while knowing exactly what she is doing.
Lol 😂 😂 Go Ms Monsoon! ❤️ Cool skit. Love it. "Don't look so confident, you're next you know"! Lol 😂 thanks Eddie x sticking up for Saffy instead of running her down 😴 zz
Alright, the punch and sound effect were totally hilarious. Patsy: 'Cheers Eddie!' just because she punched someone, even though in other clips she's constantly insulting Saffy lol.
@@judithsixkiller5586 you know I was thinking that, she's always like "let's go to harvey nic's and have lunch at nobu" but then she's just smoking a cigarette and drinking lmao
Patsy in this scene is exquisite, recoiling in surprise at being offered a drink by Saffy and sniffing at the bottle like a dog. Joanna Lumley is an absolute master of physical comedy.
Who didn't love that moment?!?!? For all the damage she did.. Eddie always loved Saffy! But also, let's not discount that Gerard was a lying sack of slime too... married with kids younger than her catting around!!
Taught the professor a lesson. Pain is a great teacher. Remember when Saffy had to dress up and go on a TV show with Patsy and they did her hair in curls or ringlets and meshy top, short skirt and she looked smoking hot? Oh sweet pain was she ever hot in that scene.
I love how her motherly instinct appears every now and then.
Love how her love for Saffy comes out when needed.
😂😂
During the delivery of Saffie's baby she was really there.
Look how happy saff is.
She loves her kids she just can't express it in a healthy way most of the time because she's a giant narcissist.
Saffy looked so delighted that her mother stood up for her like that!
@Ian McNally I know ... And their timing and acting were excellent.
@Ian McNally thanks Captain Obvious
@Ian McNally SHIT, REALLY?? I THOUGHT THIS WAS A DOCUMENTARY!!!
Eddie's a good mom, she's just insane. She's always trying to give saffy too much or overdue it because she doesn't pay her much attention
Think she was breaking character right?
I like Patsy sniffing the wine bottle like a cat getting presented with something suspicious
Joanna Lumley is really good at that awkward physical comedy where just her movement can make you laugh, despite being such an elegant woman in real life. By the way the bottle is actually Stolichnaya (Vodka) which Patsy proceeds to drink directly from the bottle! No way would Patsy drink wine... nowhere near a high enough alcohol content!
@@ashleydavall :) my mistake
DMc88 I assume we’re not including the odd case of bolly
I was just down here looking for that comment! She's such a brilliant physical comedian. Jennifer and her together are insane to watch...
That was a stolly Stolichnaya, Patty does drink wine though. Watch the episode "France". 🇫🇷
Cheers to Eddy for protecting Saffy, and good on Gran for calling him out!
And in the middle of all the chaos, Saffy scared the hell out of Patsy!
It was beyond brilliant
I loved Patsy’s double take 😂🤣
@@NicolaKaye The way she backed away and then sniffed the bottle! 😂 That’s one of my favorite Patsy moments.
@@NicolaKaye Ia Acs
@@NicolaKaye pppp
"Oh cheers Eddie" 😁 Patsy is thrilled and amazed
I love the very rare moments when Eddie protects and saves Saffy like at her wedding and when she helps deliver her baby. (And when she tricks her into flashing her chest!)
One of my favouritest moments in Ab Fab. You get him Eddie.
Also, props to Gran for being the one to sound the alarm and defending Saffie first.
Every once in a while, Eddie proves she's a good mother. Its just buried under everything that makes her Eddie.
Eddie and Saphy is just like Al Bundy with Kelly and Bud. No one else outside the family will harm their family
I love when she sticks up for her daughter like here and when she stops her marrying that little creep Paulo. Yes their relationship isn't perfect but there is certainly love there from both sides.
@Ian McNally Ah! You commented here, too!
@Ian McNally Yes and...
smck 2016 this is how I was raised.
@Ian McNally Really?? Thanks for the info. Cheers 🥂
No one, absolutely no one at all:
Ian Mcnally: It's a FOOKING TV show
The delight in Saffy's face. Was PRICELESS!! 😂😂❤❤
Pasty’s horror at being offered a drink by Saffy

One minute she is selling Saf off, the next protecting her.
@@chandini241 These are exactly my feelings
"What did I just feel? What was that?"
I love how Eddie just casually brushes off as "too many people here already." She does care.
Love it.
And then threatens Gran right after that
Everyone's body language is top tier in this scene, but I love Patsy's the most! She's like a cat! Wants the bottle, but is also very wary of said bottle and the hand attached to it.

Then the bar became a gay bar. AbFab is a favorite among us gays all over the world!
AbFab is a favorite among all kinds of people, not just gays.
But Jennifer Saunders knows who Ab Fab's biggest supporters are. That's why Eddie & Patsy have been to Pride and why Eddie said "All my friends are gay!! Gay people love me, oh yeah..!"
Is that the only time all four of them agreed on something??
I think so!
YES.
"Hello Gerard. How's your wife?" 😅
June Whitfield’s delivery was absolutely brilliant in this show.
She came in like an assassin with that wife and kids comment
Eddie reminds me so much of my late sister. A party girl and somewhat self involved. She loved her daughter (my niece) but really was confused about how to show it. Every so often she'd have moments like these, where her love for her daughter overwhelmed her and she did whatever she could to protect her (punching was not out of the question)

Good job Eddie
Love the different methods of mother's protect their children. June knew exactly what she was saying and playing it innocently. Eddie mamma bear❤
Best Eddie Mom moment ever!
I love how confused Eddy is by her sudden surge of motherly instinct - not like she's against it or anything, just that it doesn't crop up so often. Saffy having necessarily become self-sufficient, she doesn't really need her mother's help very often.
Slightly sad amidst the laughs, but this is probably one of Saffy's best memories of her mother.
She rocked his jaw!❤❤❤
this counts for a highly sentimental moment on this show
And very successfully too, at the end when Saffy is just beaming because Eddi stood up for her, you could almost shed one single vodka-saturated tear
"Don't look so confident your next you know", "yes you."
Something my mum would have said to me!🤣🤣🤣
Some of the lines she said to her mother were some of the most hilarious on the show! Lol
That’s one of my favorite lines of the entire series lol
@@jeffreysmith8719 Same 😂
You're*
1:15 Patsy recoiling is the greatest thing ever!
One of the few times Saff actually got along with Patsy. Pats was like: What?? SHE wants me to have a drink!?!?
The two dislikes are from two of Gerard’s kids.
Giggles
The smile on her face you can tell the inner five-year-old in her said "thank you mommy"
Saffie: “would you like a drink Patsy?l
Patsy: 👀
⭕️ wo
T
They should have had the bottle instantly fly out of Saffy's hand into Patsy's like she used the Force to grab it from her or something lol.
Pasty? Seriously?
@@philbecker4676 shut up Phil
@@philbecker4676 shouldn't really be throwing stones in glass houses when your name is Phil 😂
‘…there’s nothing so unattractive as a frisky old person!!!…’.
Indeed! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
yeah, well, there's too many people here already. classic Eddie
My fav line in this scene
Anytime she busts out the "yeah well", it's gold!!
Patys’s reaction when Saf gave her the drink 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣she wasn’t sure what was happening and didn’t know what to do with herself, she was even scared to take the bottle,😂😂🤣🤣
Eddy and Saffy may not always see eye to eye but this established that Eddy will always help her daughter in a time of need.
if she's conscious and around.
except when on holiday in Marrakesh
Single BEST moment in a show filled to the brim with stunning moments. 👍
Perhaps one of my favourite scenes. 😀
Mother instincts kick in, I knew Eddie wasn’t all bad. She loves Saffy in her own way.
is funny that when Saffy's in real stress. that's when she acts like a real mother. well there's that one one ep she stops saffy's wedding with a odd guy and slowly realizing there wedding's going to go wrong. so she just stopped them from kissing. she did try to explain but Saffy's to upset to hear it. but she got over it before the ep ended.
Why am I snort laughing decades after watching this...
Because it's hilarious!
I just can't seem to put into words why and how much I adore Eddie Monsoon.
I love these characters. These actors, the writing, and production were fireworks!!
One of my very favorite Ab-Fab scenes! I had to save it to my Fandoms playlist. I just love how Eddy simply walks to the guy and punches him in the face, no conversation needed, and how Saffy is so shocked that Eddy would stand up for her!
Edina really does care about Saffy she is just so distracted by Patsy GOD bless her🤣💗🤟🏼
TWO thumbs up! POW!!! That just gained her thousands of new fans. I cheered and there's no one else in the room.
Points at mother: “Don’t you look so confident. You’re next, you know.” 😂
Its great how Patsy acts like a feral animal afraid to approach humans when Saffy holds out the bottle. RIP June, our favorite Gran.
Even though Eddie is immature she truly loves her daughter and sticks up for her except from Patsy
My favorite dynamic duo!!! CHEERS SWEETIE🥂
💝CHEERS EDDY..STOP BOTHERING MY DAUGHTER..GOTTA LUV AB FAB💝
Such great writing, casting, acting... the works. Immense talent!
I wish my mum had had the balls to do that to my now ex husband who was emotionally abusive to me for 26 years.

Reverse the genders in the scene ..for some insight on what abuse your society tolerates and applauds. ✌
I'm really glad you're ok now. Nobody deserves to get treated like shit.
Why should your mum have the balls to do something about it instead of you?
Ben Williams I totally agree with you. You should have learned to stand up for yourself.
Jamie Hudson where was she going to learn that? When you’re controlled and manipulated, your self worth is stripped down. There are many reasons a woman doesn’t leave. Look up a local domestic violence agency in your area and learn something yourself.
I think in her own unconventional way she did really love saffy.
British humour at its best... who can better this brilliance...it should be sold like gold dust to other countrues🤔😂😂
Every time I’ve watched this scene, it always makes me wonder that Gran didn’t know exactly what she was doing and in some way knew Eddie would react like that.
Gran didn't get to where she's at by being stupid. Think about that.
Barbe Very true. Makes me appreciate June Whitfield’s performance even more, maysherestinpeace.
Gran knew what she was doing. She was doing Saffy a solid
In most episodes the gran character plays false naivity , making loaded statements with the insidious intention of exposing hypocrisy or just simply to cause trouble, all the while knowing exactly what she is doing.
@@lesbiangeese3737 Exactly.
I like the way Patsy stomps down the steps.😜 I just loved those people!
That was one hell of a punch
The sound effect was like a bag full of bricks dropping onto the street from a 20 meter building looolll...
God, but I LOVE this show. I wish they'd make more!
Lol 😂 😂 Go Ms Monsoon! ❤️ Cool skit. Love it. "Don't look so confident, you're next you know"! Lol 😂 thanks Eddie x sticking up for Saffy instead of running her down 😴 zz
See Saff? Your mom does love you
too bad Saffy wont stop whining and complaining about Eddy and Patsy
I'm so proud of Eddie. 😍😘👍🏾
Ahh..one of my favorite shows! That 'how dare you!' punch was everything! 😂😂
'Ah, CHEERS, Eddie!'
She may be a ditzy drunk but she 💕 her Saf!
I love when her inner Mama Bear rears its head!
Nothing more dangerous in nature than a mother protecting her young, especially before, or after, a bottle of champagne.
One of my top five favourite scene from this series.
One of the few times all the ladies were united in solidarity!
My favourite part is when she said "well there was too many people here anyway"
Even the sound effects are hilarious.
''Would you like a drink Patsy?''
WHAT?
😂
Alright, the punch and sound effect were totally hilarious. Patsy: 'Cheers Eddie!' just because she punched someone, even though in other clips she's constantly insulting Saffy lol.
I liked it how that guy crawled up those stairs when he got punched
That's a good mom
Her one redeeming moment!!
I like how Saffy throws Patsy at the lech and says that Patsy is more his type.
Absolutely adored this show - miss it 🥰😞
"Don't you look so confident your next you know" 😂😂😂
Edina is a terrible mother usually but once in a while she proves to be actually one of the most loving mothers.
Ya free lunch I'll come.
Patsy never actually EATS the free lunchs, She just hovers over and haunts them for a bit while she soaks up any available alcohol bevy.
@@judithsixkiller5586 you know I was thinking that, she's always like "let's go to harvey nic's and have lunch at nobu" but then she's just smoking a cigarette and drinking lmao
Absolutely brilliant!!
Edina has a mean right swing!
I always thought it was Edwena.
Patsy in this scene is exquisite, recoiling in surprise at being offered a drink by Saffy and sniffing at the bottle like a dog. Joanna Lumley is an absolute master of physical comedy.
Best scene in AbFab
MAMA BEAR!
Eddie is the male spelling. She's always spelt it EDDY.
This is correct.
I notice at the end Eddie is lining up her hands for the next outting!😆
Patsy sniffed the bottle of wine
Its vodka
She sniffed her hand like a dog getting fed
How did you miss it was vodka? Saffy literally says "vodka". Pay more attention.
I love that they used a ''Bottom'' punch sound effect. She turned into Eddie Hitler there for a second!
Eddie loves her children she and Patsy are just too loaded all the time.
I don’t know this show, but the thumbnail made me laugh. Then the dude creeped me out lol
Great job MOM.
I want Patsy’s jacket
🥊 Cheers Eddy!!!
Good on Eddie. My mother did the SAME thing!
One of my favorite BritComs! It's timeless!
Realizing my inner "Eddie" 💃
OMG! She did something "motherly" for once!
Who didn't love that moment?!?!? For all the damage she did.. Eddie always loved Saffy! But also, let's not discount that Gerard was a lying sack of slime too... married with kids younger than her catting around!!
Taught the professor a lesson. Pain is a great teacher. Remember when Saffy had to dress up and go on a TV show with Patsy and they did her hair in curls or ringlets and meshy top, short skirt and she looked smoking hot? Oh sweet pain was she ever hot in that scene.
Poor Saffy... she was so naive. She was book-smart, but lacked any semblance of "street" smarts.
omg one of the best shows EVER!
