100% He's playing a Boer South African - (Boer being the Afrikaans word for farmer and used to describe the people in SA who trace their ancestry to Dutch, German and French Huguenot settlers) - typically, they are unashamedly racist and speak their mind with NO FILTER. So why the chemist's character is 'spot on'.
Joel, PLEASE watch Harry Enfield in the American Tourists sketches: you’ll love them as you did his ‘Women, know your limits’ sketch. I still watch your reaction to that because it always makes me laugh.😂
Joel, the accent is White South African. Specifically, ‘Boer/Afrikans’, which is Dutch accented English. Many White South African professional can to live in the UK, after the end of Apartheid in 1991. They were previously part of the British Empire, and South Africa remains part of the Commonwealth of Nations. This Chemist character of Harry Enfield is supposed to be one on them. Boers/Afrikans are noted for their ‘directness’ and being ‘unfiltered’ in saying what they think. Even more so then the Australians. Which is the premise of these comedy sketched. Boers: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boers
No. It's a caricature of an Afrikaans accent, largely accurate, though. "Boer" was a thing in the 19th century. I know it's difficult for someone from neither language group to grasp the difference, but a Dutch accent is completely different. The Dutch are more numerous than Afrikaners, so it's very likely that you've actually heard Dutch people speak. They don't sound like that.
Hi JPS if you've moved onto Harry Enfield you have to check out Wayne & Waynetta Slob. And the Old Gits they are hilarious also Tim nice but Dim Harry's accent in this sketch is south African or Afrikaans
His accent is white South African (Boer/Afrikaner). I've heard it said that they say what's on their mind and right in your face too. That's the whole premise of this character.
Deffo a Saffa accent - I lived there for 27 years, and can do a pretty good one myself. @JP - comedian's name is pronounced Harry ENN-field (N-field), rather than EinfieldArnfield. Enfield is also a town close to London, and a well known army rifle (Lee Enfield .303, just called an Enfield) Harry Enfield has used the same accent for a different character, the dumb jock fitness instructor. Enfield's collaborations with Paul Whitehouse are legendary. See the series Harry and Paul.
The Dick Emery show is also well worth watching. Everyone in the UK watched Dick Emery on a Saturday evening in the 70s and 80s. The sketch with Hettie breaking into prison, is a classic.
Have you still not reacted to (Kevin and Perry go large) movie yet ? It’s a British classic think you’ll love it. You can tell inbetweenrs took inspiration from it
Hey Joel, when I finally get around to sending you stuff to your PO Box I was going to send some of the shows not that easy to find on TH-cam that I have digitally, Harry Enfield being one of them so you can enjoy all of his material. As others have said Wayne and Waynetta Slob, the Old Gits and the Scousers are firm favourites of mine.
This is just one example why Brit humour is the best in the world not so much now though as it's become very woke and PC but back then anything went! ... this is bloody hilarious!
My local chemist in the '90s was South African, but he was definitely far more discreet than Harry Enfield's character. Also have a look at some videos of Caroline Aherne where she plays a checkout girl in 'The Fast Show'.
I love Harry Enfields stuff. Shame about copyright. But if you haven't seen it you should watch his sketch with Ronnie Corbett. It's hilarious I know someone else has reacted to it.
The accent is South African. A lot of White South Africans were known to be racists. What Harry Enfield's done, is exaggerate the accent for comedic purposes 😂😂
Joel, please watch Harry Enfield and Chums - the Lovely, Wobbly, Randy Old Ladies (especially the visit from the gas repair man). Also, the Women of Britain, Know Your Place, sketch.
Joel harry Enfields accent is south Africans Really guttrel thick Africkans it's what makes it even funnier uncouth no filter calls a spade aspade.people are more sensitive these days but you did get the odd one person having no social guard up.
Its not right to say its an South African accent. That's what black people from the area speak. But the whites there speak Afrikaans. Boer, the dutch and so on.
Hello Joel. I never saw this before, which reminds me of a Spitting Image song, with his accent being South African. I think you did too much German, saying "Ein"? You need to try some other countries on MoreJPS and start a German channel. Have you ever seen comedy sketch "Air Afrikaans"? You might also like "Yorkshire Airlines" from your love of York?
His accent is a thick South African ( Boer) 😊
Or others
His character name is Vanderbilt which confirms

😅And don’t forget the drugs he’s robbin

I second this!!
Isn’t she probably pretty
Collecting prints from the chemist - my word, things have moved on since then!
You're not kidding it use too take about a week then about an hour people would wait as well,usually the photos were crap
@@andywrong3247not if you owned a good cannon camera. I have some great landscapes that are best ever compared to my iPhone attempts.

Ah, that's it! I heard the Dutch, so it's Afrikans.

@@johnfisher9816 With some German thrown in for good measure 👍👍
It could actually be any one of a number of white accents from that region.
S.A. ................. Shoúld get out more..........
Harry has been making me laugh since the late 1980s. Great comedian
"Hallo, everybody Peeps, Stavros Here" :)
I wish more Americans would discover this one!
I had a look through the comments and I don't think anybody's mentioned that it's a South African accent. 😁
Good reaction to an hilarious sketch from Harry EN FIELD, there is no "I" at the beginning of his Surname:)
I’m from the UK and have watched quite a bit of Harry Enfield but never seen these chemist clips, hilarious 😂
Hilarious way to start the day Joel. Cheers, John in Canada
Takes me back to the 90s. Sadly, many brits are easily offended these days, so this humour just isn't screened on TV
I dont think its the brits
I’ve got South African friends EXACTLY the same - no filter at all! 🤣
Hi JPS if you've moved onto Harry Enfield you have to check out Wayne & Waynetta Slob. And the Old Gits they are hilarious also Tim nice but Dim
Harry's accent in this sketch is south African or Afrikaans
And also the randy wobbly old ladies. Oh young man.
Happy bumming indeed!
Hey, that's Sergeant Jones from 'Midsomer Murders' in the second sketch,
His accent is white South African (Boer/Afrikaner). I've heard it said that they say what's on their mind and right in your face too. That's the whole premise of this character.

Say what you like about Enfield, he was good at character comedy. Don't forget Kevin the Teenager
You should check out more of Harry Enfield’s sketches, Jurgen the German and Kevin the teenager are my recommendations.
This is just one example why Brit humour is the best in the world not so much now though as it's become very woke and PC but back then anything went! ... this is bloody hilarious!
Its a South African accent. I have just returned from many years living in S.A.
I've never seen this! Thanks Joel! 🤣🤣
I mean, Chemists have to be polite to sustain a clientele but there are some who have chronic Foot in the mouth disease 😂
My local chemist in the '90s was South African, but he was definitely far more discreet than Harry Enfield's character.
Also have a look at some videos of Caroline Aherne where she plays a checkout girl in 'The Fast Show'.
Has the Dutch accent. The Dutch are known for being brutally honest.
Harry Enfield so under rated
For someone who likes the UK shows, you should really check out "Are you being served?", or "Keeping up appearances", or "Red Dwarf"
I love Harry Enfields stuff. Shame about copyright. But if you haven't seen it you should watch his sketch with Ronnie Corbett. It's hilarious I know someone else has reacted to it.
If you like British comedy, you need to start watching The Inbetweeners with you buddies. One of the best shows full stop
The accent is South African. A lot of White South Africans were known to be racists. What Harry Enfield's done, is exaggerate the accent for comedic purposes 😂😂
As a brit I've not ever seen this 😮😂😂
Seth Efrican. Let me tell you.
Just love Harry Enfield ,
He's doing a South African accent. The pronunciation features that survive are mainly those from southeast England with distinct Cockney associations.
Use to watch this! It be great if you could react to Harry Enfield Kevin turns into a teenager!
That was a good Afrikaans accent.
White Namibians Botswanans and Zambians, among others, have the same accent
You ever needed a prescription picked up for something like that I would happily do it for you. GOAT
Sounds like a South African accent 🤣
The 'En' in 'Enfield' is pronounced the same as in 'pen', not as in 'en route'. ;)
Monty Python did a similar chemist sketch in the 1970s.
Accent is South African - Boerish
BRB using “Happy Bumming!” In my daily conversation 😂
Joel, please watch Harry Enfield and Chums - the Lovely, Wobbly, Randy Old Ladies (especially the visit from the gas repair man).
Also, the Women of Britain, Know Your Place, sketch.
The accent is Afrikaans South African
I am going to have to change my shorts. I think I might have pissed myself I laughed so much.
Gosh, how young was Archie Panjabi in this? Harry is brill..
Yes i thought it looked like her. She gets more beautiful with every year that passes 💘 be still my beating heart
Brilliant find😂
Great choice Joel, Harry Enfield and chums is also worth a look
I love Harry Enfield but have never seen these! the accent Was South African!
It's okay to call him a pharmacist.
That is typically South African straight speaking, dutch also
South Africans are well known for their tactful manner. (that may not be strictly true)
Harry Enfield this makes me laugh every time
Hi Joel , I enjoyed watching this video (pierre)
Even Dutch speakers from the Netherlands cringe at Afrikaans; it is their equivalent of American English.
Joel harry Enfields accent is south Africans Really guttrel thick Africkans it's what makes it even funnier uncouth no filter calls a spade aspade.people are more sensitive these days but you did get the odd one person having no social guard up.
PMSL! His South African accent and mannerisms are spot on! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
He's supposed to be SOUTH AFRICAN.
Loved his Angry Frank sketch
SOUTH AFRICAN ACCENT
That accent was supposed to be South African ( Cape Dutch )
Afrikaans.
Its not right to say its an South African accent. That's what black people from the area speak. But the whites there speak Afrikaans. Boer, the dutch and so on.
....and English as a first language.
Travel more!
@@tommywulfric9768 yup, but it will have an insanely strong accent.
Harry was Born in Horsham, Sussex🇬🇧
You should try his version of When Harry Met Sally - 1950s parody
6:49 It *SUPPOSED* to be South African, if I’m not mistaken.
Harry Ein Filed... You're the cutest
I wonder what you'd make of 'Bottom'. Apologies if you've covered it already
Bottom is goated.
It’s EN field not AN field mate
South African
it's pronounced "en field" as in the letter N and the world Field.
Clearly south African
One you might likr Reeves and M Mortimer ghost hunter's
I think the accent is South African.
I seen some say he trying to do south African
Hello everybod peeps. I am just wondering Who on earth is Harry UNfield? Must be somebody new 🤣🤣🤣
his accent sounds South African
He's trying a South African accent.. his surname in this sketch is also a give away
That is a south african accent harry is doing
Pls tell me you’ve watched kevin and perry go large

Hey Joel.........where is the video you promised with the Lord Mayor Of York?...still waiting🙄......😄
The accent is White South African.
They’re not the exactly known for being tactful.
Harry's the goat 🐐
His accent is white South African.
Mrs Bridges calls him Mr Van der Bilt, which sounds Afrikaans (of Dutch origin).
Van der valt
Harry Enfield & chums.fast show.shooting stars.old comedy shows but always hilarious
The accent is Afrikaans
And the 'En' in Enfield is the same as in 'end'
Legend.
It's N field !
Have you seen Harry Enfield’s “I saw you coming” sketches?
That's a southern African accent. Possibly South Africa, but maybe Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Eswatini, Lesotho, or Malawi.
It's EN field for Harrys surname. As in the word HEN, but remove the H. It sounded like you pronounced his name as ON field.
He did and it was bugging me too 🙂
But Joel got it right at the end of the vid :)
His 'Gay Nazi' stretches were the best ones he did for this series he made for Sky. th-cam.com/video/QATSbEK5muQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lKd1kO1y8ZVdS2N6
South African accent.
South African is the accent
I think the accent is a stereotypical South African one lol
If you get those jokes, you are defo @ leest 50% British, young fella, me lad!🤣
South African mate!
Harry is so good in Kevin and Perry go large
