Complete bliss! I'd never seen this before so it was a joy to watch. They were unique and so wonderfully funny. Their use of language was sublime...sadly becoming a lost art. Surely the inspiration for the Life of Brian. Perfection.
Me too! Years ago I was walking down the street in Manhattan --cant remember what street-- snd who's coming straight toward me but Dudley Moore. I'm 5'3" and he was just about my height. I stopped right in front of him and said DUDLEY MOORE! You saved my life when I was in Australia. He wanted to hear my story, which I won't repeat here because it's too long, but the story ends with me leaving 10 days before I was supposed to get married He was a delight, sweet, and generous in that he wanted to know everything.

@@peterdavidasige8073 What you've forgotten is how many of those from the generation before you didn't find this at all funny.... Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
How wonderful to find this! I had the great joy on my first day In London, walking through the West End and coming across life-size cutout photos of Pete and Dud in front of a theatre. I hurried in and got a ticket for that night's performance of "Behind the Fridge". I saw it again when they came to California. The next time I saw Dudley was so much sadder. It was at a wake for Peter at the Directors' Guild in Los Angeles. Dudley arrived late and couldn't manage to answer any questions about Peter. We all thought he was drunk, understandable after losing his long-time partner. What we didn't know was that he was in the throes of the brain disease that killed him. However I'd brought along one of my young writers who didn't know them and as we watched "Bedazzled" he kept sliding to the floor, convulsed with laughter and the Pete and Dud legacy was passed along to another generation.
O, WOW! I am SO wistfully 3ealous! YOU SAW 'EM LIVE! Wow, wow, WOW. And the memorial. Good on you, Geraldine! Still so so, so, SAD and tragic, Dudley Moore's tragic, rare disease. SO CRUEL. Thank you ALWAYS, brilliant, BTILLIANT Pete n' Dud!
Saw Behind the Fridge in London in 1973, then in the Boston try out in 1974 as Good Evening. Wish the sound recording was still available. Still funny after so many decades. 😂❤😂❤😂❤
I always love this sort of analytical humour: choose a topic and then dissect it to look for the potential humour in each aspect of it. :-) I'm a Pete n Dud fan, but I'd never seen this sketch before.

LEGENDS ❤ my brothers used to do Pete and Dudley’s sketches on a Sunday night after tea, I was only young but I used to watch all the comedy greats, Tony Hancock, monty python, spike Milligan as I got older, my comedy today is Peter Kay, Micky Flanagan who we are seeing in September can’t wait, we have tickets to see Miriam margoyles in October, she’s so talented and so grounded, wonderful woman, I am and always will be loyal to British comedy greats I carry them with fond memories of family and laughter.
Mary Whitehouse certainly had her minions complain to the Beeb in their millions, & Pete & Dud's best work got nowhere near the TV back then. You couldn't say "bloody" on the TV while their albums were a different story. The C word was used liberally. Peter Cooke was one of the most sued comedians of his generation, with several obscenity trials as the owner of Private Eye....People think there was less political correctness then...That's an illusion.
Great memories. I can still remember Pete and Dud in the art gallery, "Well, the way to tell a great painting, Pete, is that the eyes always follow you around the room." And so many skits where Pete is ironing his plastic mac and just waffling on.
I saw version of this live when they toured with a full slate of sketches and a bit of Dudley at the piano. This and the one-legged (unidextered) Tarzan aspirant absolutely blew me away. I'd not known about this extension with the added "interviews" until now. Wonderful enhancements. Thanks for posting this delightful surprise. You've earned a free dinner at the Frog & Peach.
I saw them in Perth WA but I’d already called my 2 cats Pete and Dud. Pete was long and skinny and Dud was shorter with a crooked tail. Loved watching this again - wonderful memories flooding back. Thank you.
Genius! Despite being born outside Los Angeles, it took British humor to get Laughter that I could appreciate. I owe my early exposure to brilliant comedy to my Welsh grandmother. ❤😂❤
My brother had a cassette tape of this skit back in the early 80's and I loaned it to someone and never got it back. Hearing it again was marvellous. Amazing how the mind can bring back the punch lines before they get delivered. A great piece of comedy by the masters. Thanks for posting.
I remember listening to "Beyond the Fringe" back in he 1950s, but I had never heard this one. The sermon (Alan Bennet) on BTF was hilarious, and I had memorised it by heart.
Brilliant-- Monty Python were influenced greatly by Pete and Dud, and they usually acknowledged it. John Cleese called Peter Cook (paraphrasing) The funniest man in the world. Dudley Moore was equally funny, in his own way.
3 thumbs up, mind you - lack of progress in genetically engineering procludes me from actually doing that...but as per the usual, its the thought that counts
Really miss them along with so much of what was on the tellie back in the 60's. Was a time when comedy was really funny and classless. The 60's was wild, ya should have been there. Wish I still was with what I know now.
Grew up with this stuff (even tho Im American and from Irish people) This keeps poppin up in my recommended vids. And I am so glad. For He so loved the World. * sarcastic drum roll *
This does make me wonder? Could this have been Monty Python’s inspiration for The Life Of Brian? . . . If someone told me it was, I would see all the clues in the style and type of humour. A delightful little piece of televisual history nonetheless, which made me giggle and put a genuine smile of jolliness on my face which lingered for some time after. Thank you for that. 😁✌️
No dont think so ! The thing is with Religion its a brilliant vehicle for comedy being so utterly ridiculous in so many ways and so it begs to have the piss taken out of it as indeed many comedians have done over the years
The Python crew and Pete and Dud were Oxford or Cambridge educated before undergraduates had Humour by-passes and 'cancel' anyone who disturb their emotional equilibrium.
Unfair comparison. How we forget drivel such as On The Busses, Terry & June, Love The Neighbour etc etc. Pete & Dud were exceptional for their time, diamonds in a sea of crap, & 99% of their best material was never broadcast.
@@graemestarkey7524 I absolutely agree. There's a lot of nonsense talked about "political correctness" and "cancel culture", today compared to the past.
I just lost a dear mate, a very silly Englishman. He adored Peter Cook & Dudley Moore, & the whole Monty Python crew. This so reminds me of his sense of humour. Much missed.
I wonder how much improvisation there was in this sketch. They wee notorious for trying to "corpse" each other and get the other one to laugh out loud. One of the tragedies of early television is that very few copies of their show "Not only... But also" exist. I was a massive fan as a young man and still remember some of the hilarious sketches, such as the two cavemen talking on a chalk floor, which when the camera pans out above them is revealed to be the private parts of the Cerne Abbas Giant. Comic geniuses!
They were comedy greats and we need this kind of thing so much today, especially in our world where people get so offended at practically anything. Our generation should learn to laugh more, as it's been said, "Laughter is the best medicine" and it is. Don't be so bloody serious! Learn to laugh at yourself.
As a deeply dedicated and committed Christian, to me this offensive and highly disrespectful skit had me rolling with unrestrained laughter. They really nailed it.
You mean when the 'Last Passion of the Christ' or 'The Life of Brian' or 'Dogma' were released and all of the above screamed bloody murder but the films still came out and millions watched em? The crazies are always crazy, the genius writers remain genius writers.
Magical humour as it's meant to be, two of the greast, dishing out their poke at everybody and anything, so glad I was around to see this live, in the times before everyone got offended by everything and spoilt the world. P. C. is just a hiding place for those without the balls to call a spade a bloody spade! And that's it in a nutshell. If your offended, go talk to someone who gives **** because I don't!
Little Known Fact Dept: Few details are known about Jimmy Christ. But there are records from the training ground that Jimmy, while apprenticing to be a carpenter, also trained with the Tottenham youth squad and, showing some promise as a midfielder, played in a few U-17 games, and one U-21 match....
i loved these two. i don’t know why they aren’t as well known as the Monty Python guys. maybe not many tapes left. the film :P thhhpphhttt! will live foerver! “Bedazzled” - one of the best films ever. ✨🤣😂
@@GrrMeister what a load of shit. You act like this skit is the first time anyone's said look at the good things in life. That's like me claiming these guys got the idea for this skit from the song "What a wonderful world". This crap is nowhere near as funny as Monty Python. Oh and if you dummies really think this was the inspiration for Life of Brian then I would suggest you go and watch some of the interviews with the Python cast where they explain where they _really_ got their inspiration from.
Loved the skit when I saw it in Behind the Fridge in early 70, love it just as much now, especially the Enoch reference to that bloody racist Powell. Brilliant lads
They were fabulous.....and still are! June, 2023.
And in 2024.
Was allowed to stay up till 11pm on a school night to watch these brilliant men. Am so happy I was.
Me too. Well, not really allowed. I had to sneak downstairs and pretend to be ill
Got repeated in the 90s - I loved it. Wasn’t sure about some of it but my folks laughed so I laughed 😊

"It was his old man wot done the universe" -- a stunning scriptural insight from He who made Monty Python look like a dead pope.

Which version 'ave you got? Post me a pen and ink will yer, me old china?
Still great as at July '24. What a wonderful clever zany comedy duo.
Could not do this today.....#teamjesus #teamislam would be offended.
not to mention the jews!
You mean when the 'Last Passion of the Christ' or 'The Life of Brian' or 'Dogma' were released and all of the above screamed bloody murder but the films still came out and millions watched em? The crazies are always crazy, the genius writers remain genius writers.
@@Akheloios dont forget to include Scorsese LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST to that list
I can't find the episode where they talk about Mary playing around with the neighbors... That was the best episode. Hope it isn't lost!
OUTRAGEOUS BLASPHEMY - and bloody funny to boot. God bless 'em, RIP lads.
Oh dear. Pete and Dud. Makes me feel old. Mostly because I am old. They were brilliant.
They were simply incredible!
Magical humour as it's meant to be, two of the greast, dishing out their poke at everybody and anything, so glad I was around to see this live, in the times before everyone got offended by everything and spoilt the world. P. C. is just a hiding place for those without the balls to call a spade a bloody spade! And that's it in a nutshell. If your offended, go talk to someone who gives **** because I don't!
You sound like a Peter Cook caricature.
I can't decide if Peter Cook looks more like Eric Idle or George Harrison
This was a brilliant sketch. Wonderful. I haven't seen much of Cook and Moore but I will. I guess they are both dead now?
Gee, a lot of things I never knew about Jesus!
17:08 "From what you've told me, it's an unbelievable story... incredible." Exactly, dear Christians, exactly...
Not just Christians.
Feels like Life of Brian owes this a large nod
Just so good
Little Known Fact Dept: Few details are known about Jimmy Christ. But there are records from the training ground that Jimmy, while apprenticing to be a carpenter, also trained with the Tottenham youth squad and, showing some promise as a midfielder, played in a few U-17 games, and one U-21 match....
Pete reminds me a bit of the lovely Bobby Persuader in this sketch, his tongue in cheeky face!
i loved these two. i don’t know why they aren’t as well known as the Monty Python guys. maybe not many tapes left. the film :P thhhpphhttt! will live foerver! “Bedazzled” - one of the best films ever. ✨🤣😂
If only now we had the reportage
Haha 😂 How can you believe in sky fairies? FANTASTIC
This is just crazy funny. I'm crying with laughter. They are both bloody mad. 😂😂😡🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can’t think why TH-cam w8ed so long 2 show me this. Better l8 than never tho’! Thank you 4 the upload. 😂😂😂 😊❤ (RIP George Griddle)
"You're playing with fire, walking on water"...🤣🤣🤣
Just brilliant
“Emanating an ethereal glow” just magic
inspiration for the Life of Brian
16:35 *"Always Look on the Bright side of Life"*
My thoughts exactly..... especially as John Cleese has spent his entire life as a second rate Peter Cook.
I like Arthur Shepherd's 20th century wrist watch!
@@GrrMeister what a load of shit. You act like this skit is the first time anyone's said look at the good things in life. That's like me claiming these guys got the idea for this skit from the song "What a wonderful world".
This crap is nowhere near as funny as Monty Python.
Oh and if you dummies really think this was the inspiration for Life of Brian then I would suggest you go and watch some of the interviews with the Python cast where they explain where they _really_ got their inspiration from.
Loved the skit when I saw it in Behind the Fridge in early 70, love it just as much now, especially the Enoch reference to that bloody racist Powell. Brilliant lads
Nothing wrong with Enoch! Could do with him now to kick out all the immigrants and give us our country back.
Victoria Saper Enoch wasn’t a racist Read the speech
Enoch was right. Have a look at Birmingham and Luton.
@@CB-xr1eg Never going to happen mate. Get used to it.
A lot of 1960s references you had to be there then to appreciate eg hallo goodbye - hello goodbye Beatles
