Pavov in the pub late at night. The publican rings the bell for last drinks. Pavlov jumps up and says "Bugger, I forgot to feed the dogs."
This is such a good joke
Thanks!
I love how he totally goes with his accidental Welsh accent and creates Welsh Pavlov as part of the joke. Awesome.
+SethBlizzard (not accidental)
Even Izzard's ramblings aren't improvisation...
@@DevilsAdvocateofnazareth probably was the first time, then people laughed, and it was added in... That's usually how this seems to work... But could just be totally scripted
@@DevilsAdvocateofnazareth Nope 👍
Our Pavlovian cat could distinguish between the can-opening sound of her food and any other can-opening sound.
The can would not even have to be opened!
The of the opener on the can was all it took; she would be trying to climb my leg before the seal was even broken.
I miss that cat, always brought me mouse heads.
Our cat would come running if anyone opened the drawer in the fridge that had sandwich meat in it. He wouldn't bother if it was one of the other two drawers.
I think shorter cans would "tink" with a higher pitch. Other cans would have a lower pitch. With my old Maggie preferred prey was anoles, geckos, and frogs. Somehow she could find the elusive grey tree frog, the frog you hear but never see. I have never seen a gray frog except when Maggie brought one home.
Best prey to bring home was the katydid. Way bigger than the frog and the hard exoskeleton gives maximum play value. Frogs die in five minutes. Katydids last fifteen! Also had the occasional mouse or bird. The mice and birds would be partially eaten under the kitchen window. Only fun prey like frogs, lizards, and the amazingly unfragile katydid were brought back intact for home playtime.
Bless you, sir. I'm sure you gave them a splendid life, and i hope you are continuing the tradition with other small fuzzies.
My cats knew the sound of their plates. Didn't matter how far away they were as soon as they heard them they came running.
Eddie's smile is just contagious
I wish I could pull off that look. The level of confidence and charisma it takes is impressive. Really cool dude.
We had two cats that would come running into the kitchen whenever they heard the sound of the electric can opener. We used to call them "Pavlov's cats."
Very familiar with that phenomenon - Pavlov simply didn't have the benefit of the electric can opener, which would have been a total game changer! One electric can opener & a crate of canned tuna... the possibilities are mind boggling!
Our cat came running if anyone opened the drawer in the fridge that had sandwich meat in it. He didn't bother if it was one of the other two drawers.
I had a cat that would come running when he heard a knife rubbed against knife sharpener or meat slicer turned on because he knew he'd get some fresh meat. Very smart kitty
My cat just kinda followed me around knowing that I would eventually give him extra snacks for being my good shoulder sitting buddy.
Wow! What a crazy life you lead!
Only Izzard could use a double phonological lense of Russian and Welsh accents (0:22), eventually "Changed my name from Evans to Pavlov" 0:39. "I'm now called Gareth Pavlov, and fitting in well." What a great improviser.
The real reason that Pavlov didn't use cats is that they had to save them for Schrodinger.
stone1andonly hahahahah
Schrodinger: I need cats
Pavlov: Dead or alive ones?
Schrodinger: Dead and alive.
Pavlov: WTF.
Werner Heisenberg wasn't certain where or when to find the cats.
stone1andonly ROTFL absolute perfection :} 🐈🐾🐕
@@dogestdoge7097 LOL so funny
The cat was taking its' own notes all along....
"Man keeps ringing bell. Dog keeps eating food.
Conclusion: Man clearly has OCD. Dog has eating disorder..."
tenderheart17 😘
tenderheart17 yup that’s a cat ROTFL 🐈🐾🐕 ting a ling a ling. looks at you, licks paw. person rings again. cat makes a note. my person’s gone nuts. now, if she said, “Are you hungry?” the way she does, i’d eventually walk nonchalantly into the kitchen. it’s only when she oversleeps that we all sit on her a scratch her face - just lightly. . . that usually does it. licks other paw. . . :} 😼
Day 1: Rang bell, cat fucked off.
Day 2: Rang bell, cat went and answered door
Day 3: Rang bell, cat said he'd eaten earlier.
Day 4: Went to ring bell on day 4, but cat had stolen batteries.
Day 5: Went to ring bell with new batteries, but cat put his paw on the bell so it only made that thunk noise. Then cat rang his own bell! I ate food...
I think all this could have been heard above
"Then Cat Rang His Own Bell"
YES, Just What A Cat Would Do !
I don't understand every word and actually not even every joke. But the way he deliveres it, it still is funny. How he pronounces "excited" already is hilarious
For cats, bells are an authoritarian insult. Whereas any sound of food being prepared obviously means the human has been well trained.
"Day 2: Rang bell and cat answered door." LOL! I also loved the bit about how cat ate earlier! :)
very excited
As the saying goes - dogs have owners, cats have staff 🙃
I don't mean to be a spoilsport or nothing, but my name is Gareth Pavlov and my Welsh/Russian heritage has nothing to do with my unsuccessful cat studies.
Since I discovered Eddie Izzard, I administer myself a dose of Eddie every evening to make sure my eyes get well lubricated crying from laughing :) :) :)
GENIUS.
JunsKitchen has a lovely video on how he taught his cats to ring a bell for food.... Top comment is "Jun has literally trained himself to being an on-demand butler for the kitties"
the punchline on this bit is so good
Oh god I actually died when he said 'Garreth Pavlov' LMFAO!!
Holy shit I love his fashion
A favorite. The Rhythm and writing are so good.
NICE, VERY NICE. THANK YOU :-) I STUDIED PAVLOV IN COLLEGE AMONG OTHER PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERIMENTS.
funny, I studied him in college in animal care lol
One does not simply fuck with cat.
Regardless of whether one has walked into Mordor or Russia...
tenderheart17
Mordor? Russia?
Those are walk in the park compared to the cat.
cw3le
Depends on the park I suppose...
(but one should avoid the cat which would appear to have majored in psychology).
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE EDDIE IZZARD.
*****
I assume this is true in Soviet Russia.
The trade mark cat-dog lines.''I ate ate food'' lol.. this guy is good with it.
Pavlov's experiments with dogs always sound so benign. What they don't tell you is Pavlov cut the dogs open and had the saliva glands hanging outside the dog like taps so he could accurately measure how much saliva was produced.
OMGS, I'm gonna be sick. WTF??
@@My_Fair_Lady because 'they' like to sanitise experiments on animals- , so we can focus on the great strides in science, rather than the price paid by all the animals for that knowledge.
@@My_Fair_Lady 'nothing wrong with that'- nothing wrong with sanitising the process of experimentation on animals? Nothing wrong if you want to continue to live in ignorance, i suppose.
'They' is the people who do experiments on animals, starting with early researchers like Pavlov, Watson, Seligman in the early days. Countless thousands in recent years with product testing, brain ablation tests, and cognitive testing.
Of course, it is true society as a whole benefits from such research, and many individual humans would not have the effective treatments they do without those trials. Not all experiments are for noble causes, much is for useless cosmetic products. People should be aware of what kind of experiments are done on which products. Unless they simply don't care, of course.
@@My_Fair_Lady yes, but for those you do see a problem with cats being exposed to chemicals, such activities should not be glossed over. perhaps it is the fault of the consumer- prefering ignorance to the full knowledge of what if=s done for our pamper products. For example- you write about the cute kity's eyes weeping and being irritated- THAT is the cosy illusion, they are tested with various strength chemicals, and, like i said, test to destruction- until it's eyes are just ulcerous sores and ultimately dies. Not just the one animal, but hundreds per product- statistical information is not much use without a good sample size.
I'm not sure what you mean about a martyr- the animals are hardly martyrs as they did not choose their fate. But yes, our society is great on hypocrisy- myself included.
@@My_Fair_Lady i wasn't talking about being ok with the testing, I was talking about making people more aware about what actually goes on in such experiments.
But now that you mention it,. a lot of people are not 'ok with animal testing', but I'm sure you knew that. As for getting good data, a lot of the information obtained from animal research is not always relevant to humans. That was learned the hard way with the animal tests involving thalidomide in the 1950s.
Hilarious, as always!
My dog used to get excited when I would get his leash he knew we were going for a walk. Perfectly reasonable reaction to his conditioning and I was an excellent pet owner that did not tease or confuse him. He didn't even need a leash to walk he was so well trained but society was so nasty he had to wear one most of the time.
Reminds me of my cat lister. He's named after a character on Red Dwarf. You've probabley never heard of it but yeah. He's chased off cyotes, foxes, my brother's dog Zeus, and once me when I was about six. He also ownes everything. including my other cat Cheech (yes named after Cheech Martin) who is far bigger and has way sharper claws.
the delicious irony of your cat being named Lister… the cat god 😝😁 (I am definitely fond of the holy doughnut)
Best story teller =3
Do not question the wisdom of our overlords
You've got that right!
I love how he just accidentally does a Welsh accent and then goes and ad-libs a whole bit about Pavlov being Welsh.
Back when he was actually funny. I miss those days.
I anyone receiving a full court press advertising campaign in Australia for the politician Clive Palmer whilst watching youtube? I am getting hammered with them!!!
This is the reason why Izzard is such an amazing comic. Can somehow turn Pavlov into a Welsh guy and get loads of laughs out of it. HOW DO THEY COME UP WITH THIS STUFF?!
That's great 👍 👌 😀 😄
Schrödinger's cat: You Spin Me Right Round, Baby, Right Round
Eddy Izzard 💕
So the sequel is on Schrodinger's dog
This and Glorious was peak Izzard
Unique, brilliant comedy
Fantastic 😹😂😹
good grief, I know two people called Gareth Evans and neither one is Welsh! must try to avoid calling them Pavlov :P
I love Eddie Izzard!!!!
We just discussed Pavlov in my Behavioral Science class today, so I find this particularly entertaining! xD
what are you up to now? ten years on?
That's a true story. You can l learn more about it at your local library.
It's way in the back, down some stairs.
It's probably on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard'...
It should be kept in mind that pavlov was an evil animal torturer
He's cracking himself up.
Everyone who disliked had the worst sense of humor
I did this experiment too, day one, rang bell, Salem the demon furball of doom a.k.a Tinkerbell shit himself, ran upstairs, hid under bed. Dont think i'll bother with day two......
I am reliably informed that due to the siege of Leningrad Pavlov’s dogs were actually eaten by the keepers - does that ring a bell with anyone?
😁👍🏼
too funny. Very funny guy
I think I descend from the cat...! 😼
Then you are royalty!
I also might add that my poor grammar was due to my having an off day because I was waiting to hear if Lister would be put down. Thankfully he is alive and well once more but the point remains.
Omg that was funny
oh i thought this was Janet Napolitano on stage
I aate fooood
he looks funny
I would watch TV and my friend’s dog would like to cuddle on my lap. He would lay his head on my arm and then the dog would start salivating on my arm and I would give him a treat…
Wait! Who was programming who!?
Wait a second, what kind of bell is battery powered?
hundreds
Doorbell?
@full fragment (apologies for using the @ thing. I can't reply properly with my phone) If I said that you've probably never heard of something, it's because no one I have asked has heard of it. I'm not trying to imply I'm superior because of it nor do I believe such.
fed up with these damn ads that steal 2 minutes of my life... for nothing

That’s why Schrödinger liked putting his imaginary Cats in imaginary boxes along with decaying isotopes and nerve toxins, The cat could be described as being both alive and dead at the same time, and this is where reality gets a bit weird.
ahem
the 1st cat fucked off
soooooo
at least 2 cats are involved
I'll wait
for the 1st cat to show up at the door
jeez he almost looks like james marsters.
No! James Marsters is gorgeous ...
Liked the original better....."The cat went into the kitchen and made a Pavlova"...
ROFL
The labored specialist cosmetically want because bra immunochemically expand barring a enchanting ocelot. distinct, nervous ship
Katastrophy! Ha!
The only way this can be seen to be clever is by pseudo-intellectuals.
Yawn. A good few divisions behind Bernard Manning.
Aaah, it’s the masses that require entertainment, it’s why we have religion, alcohol, patriotism, et al?
Although really, *any* comedian who sells turkey drummers would have an unfair advantage.
good lord! are any Brits straight? :-O
Me, I'm straight. I don't even wear womens clothes. I'm totally boring when it comes to that sort of thing. 😜
Izzard is very straight. That's one!
