LOVED that under table bar.
Really. Even I had the urge to order a martini...a very, very dirty martini of course.
All restaurants should provide that service imo!
A great blend of surrealism and realism
Better atmosphere and service than the main floor, I must say.
Yeeeep it’s amazing
I think it's amazing that Bernard found a soundproof curtain to put up between the kitchen and the shop.
Lol
Not nearly as swank as that undertable bar Hahaha
I love that line " He looks like a horse in a man costume"
Also I just love the absurdity of the show.
this show is anything but absurd.... if it is one thing is pure genius!!!
@@placidobarbara7531 Yeah, a secret bar under the dinner table is totally not absurd. It's common, really.
i love that line cuz he kind of does look like a horse in a man costume lmao
the visual bit of bernard's real suit being white is so good
oooh thats what it is about
Bernard eating his teacup is priceless
Yes, the Bar under the table escape is maybe one of the most brilliant scenes of this episode by and large, but Bernhard biting into his teacup is, personally, the most relatable reaction to awkward and irritating family interactions that I've ever seen.
dear dead parrot, I wish to let u know how very very grateful i am to you for uploading the black books series. i found it upon reading the comments , was watching a dylan moran stand up and in several comments this series black books kept being mentioned over and over so I looked it up and ...I have to say this is one of the best if not the best show in english comedy ever. bailey and moran teaming is sheer perfection.both absolute comedic geniuses .their demure elegance, wit, in telligence and charm makes them the best of their kind no doubt
Yes! I am so glad these exist!
Irish comedy, nae English. The creator and writers are Irish. The sense of humour is Irish, which is why it is funnier than dry, droll English humour.
STOP IT! STOP DYING!!!! This show is beautiful.
Hes historical I’ve got this Calm down calm down!!🤣🤣
The commandment has gone out people: stop dying!!!
"I'm about to stop playing 'Who shall I kill first?' in my head and just go with what feels natural. I think I'll start with me, then it's you." I can't tell you how often I've wanted to use that line XD XD
"would you like to explain before i turn you into a moo-CORPSE!?"
That part always cracks me up XD
The bar under the table scene is my dream anxiety escape, love this show👌🏽
I love the skit were Bernard screams "CALM DOWN, CALM DOWN, CALM DOWN!" while tugging at Manny, my husband and I parody it all the time when we are exited or stressed to cheer eachother up XD
That is so sweet! Lucky girl !
Cute
reminds me of that "she's hysterical!" scene in Airplane! where theres a whole bunch of people lined up behind the doctor guy
20:03 Fran's "Make them Go" and the eyes is just hilarious.
It should’ve run longer. After this episode, I always want to see what kind of Irish creatures are capable of creating something like Bernard.
She didn't appear, but for his accounts, Bernard had to call his "Ma," whose first and last name he didn't know, showing that they weren't particularly close. Also, the phone call took 11 seconds before she began endlessly berating him.
The sound of the teacup being eaten is horrifying
Why has nobody commented on the starry performance of the moo-pa/ma? Absolutely brilliant!
Forever reminding me of 'Allo,Allo'. Died June '14.
They are champs
Love Annette Crosby (hope I got her name correct), as an American my previous exposure to this wonderful actress was on One Foot in the Grave. Though I am not a fan of Call The Midwife, so haven't seen much of her work. I did see a TH-cam video of an interview she did concerning One Foot, she can be quite naturally funny.
@@howardkerr8174 I have the whole series on DVD. She was fantastic in it.
They are both magnificent actors, so no surprise. Cheers.
I love when Bernard starts yelling at him to calm down while chocking him
"choking"
I believe that was a sort of homage from a Monty Python sketch with John Cleese "choking" Michael Palin. Forgot the particular episode.
@@danielcropp8553 boy when your right, your right
Black Books might be my favorite series. There's nothing quite like cracking open a nice red wine and indulging in this absurd fantasy mess that justifies my alcoholism.
That's quite nihilistic but I approve!
You're good bro
@@Peabody388 I'm back here again. Gave up smoking for a bit there but then I lost my job and started enjoying lung cancer like never before. And no, I didn't lose my job because of drinking, just got laid off - I'm not actually an alcoholic.
"I be on the boat, far away from the peerin' clot. Jah."
I be totally turned on ba Fran when she said that. Jah.
Her booty wrapped up in a haze of Ganja 'n ting XD
i love that under the table part xD
I don't like that I related to Manny talking about being an adult who spends his evenings eating cereal
The actor who plays Moo-pa plays Captain Geering in Allo Allo 😂
Love it when Fran goes all hard on Bernard and shows him who really has the pants on. Also, this and the episode with the heatwave are absolutely mad.
I gotta say Dylan Moran shaved and in that white suit actually looks really good.
+
He was quite cute throughout the series
He’s a handsome guy underneath the disheveled chaotic persona 😂
I don't know, I have a weak spot for chaotic and disheveled reclusive literary geniuses.
until he starts drinking
Bianco means white in italian, so its black and white, bernhard black and manny bianco
yep. and Katzenjammer is a hangover ;)
@@chriskaprys no its not!
@@goldbluetears agreed, it's not 😂
@S R it's still not
@S R I am talking official german, not northern slang words
accurate portrayal of how a parental visit feels
If you're a vagina, maybe
aint it??
especially the `i cant breathe` thing relates
Is anyone going to acknowledge there is an actual bar under the table at 11:35?
Yeah, that was definitely the first out-there fantasy element so far, though funny.
Phaota It's a speakeasy in the modern ages.
@@Phaota not the first, manny assimilated the little book of calm!
This is actually the first time I understand the concept of happy place.
No? Why should someone have to? If you want to see a comment made so badly just make it yourself... It makes no sense to act gobsmacked over the fact that the internet didnt read your mind and post your thoughts for you ahead of time 😅
Today I was described as a cross between Harley Quinn and Bernard Black. Have never felt more complimented.
👍
That last customer just hearing the whole fight lol
Am I the only one who got low key sad when they rushed the parents out :\
no, that was really awful
it was so mean!
seems reasonable to me.
No. But the feeling is kind of accurate when it comes to establishing boundaries with your parents when you're an adult! This show is of course a comedy but it manages to deal with some pretty difficult situations and ideas sometimes.
I think they saved it by giving manny a week to visit his parents. I mean that place is Bernard's house not manny's. I can't imagine many bosses who would be willing to put up with their employee's parents staying in their house
The bar under the table almost killed me the first time I watched this show.
I can't believe it took me years to realize that Moo-Pa was played by Sam Kelly, who also portrayed Capt. Hans Geering on 'Allo, 'Allo.
'Tler! (Klop!) 😂
The end of the episode were Fran and Bernard taunt Manny by doing the habits of his parents is haliarious.
"Pardon me boy..."
*CRACK* *CRACK*
"Is that the Chattenbury choo choo?"
"OhhHHH GOD....."
i dont know how nobody has said anything about how at 2:40 when fran pulls him by the hair across the room he literally fucking moans.
i wonder what the family of Bernard would be like.....
Hi dead parrot, have you thinked about original subtitles ? Could be great for people from abroad for educational reasons !
I love this show, I wish it still ran.
One of my absolutely favorite episodes!
I never knew that Captain Hans Geering was Mannys dad.
klopf!!
Tler~
Its sad how badly they treated Mannys parents in this episode. I almost cried
To be fair, they invited themselves over almost unannounced, it's not Mannys property to allow him to play the host at his discretion and they also try to stay as long as possible despite the clear inconvenience because it suits them.
IMO Bernard had every right to act as he did. Just because the parents pull puppy dog eyes and act meek and vulnerable doesn't mean they're in the right to just impose themselves in a strangers house, and their lack of awareness of the situation rests purely on Manny - he's really the one who behaved most deplorably in this episode because he could have avoided the whole thing by being assertive but instead makes everyone suffer because hes being a wuss.
And i mean i dont care, but if we're going deep enough into it to be crying about the parents, the above are all things that also deserve a mention
Oooooh God you're STILL ALIVE!
Erin Parrott I love how simon pegg does a great job as the guy Paul next door. On the show
@@kristijester4327 Isn't that Nick Frost?
The manster!
This is one of the saddest episodes, as humorous as their made it.
This is one of my favourite episodes, along with the one where Fran goes on a hen party
Lol at the end when moo pas like “har har har har” and manny’s like “hi” 😂
"We will get there some time between 5:45 and 5:47" hahahah
Moo pa is like my grandfather when telling a story. He did the same thing with days, dates, years
Petal Poppy My mother does the $25,000 Pyramid. With the clues she leaves, I have to guess what she’s talking about. In short, it’s mind-numbing.
I think everybody knows that Garden Salad would make the squid sleepy in your stomach until digestion start to prevent any of squid strangle your heart, I think Manny is being a little sneaky there, I also never heard that Pinot Nino Nino wine, maybe some Dunlop starred restaurants serve it, they must be kidding.
Bernard looks like Oscar Wilde....
Totally !❤
i only stopped crawling under the table when my mother said to me `arent you getting too old for this?`....i think i was 17 or so....lol
the MANster LOL
I love pinot nino nino
The teacup must’ve been delicious 😅
How can you eat a teacup that shit hurts! Lol
Love the fact that there is a bar under the table
I rewatched it now and I can't help feeling bad for them, they were such nice poeple...
Don't worry - they're actors. This isn't actually real
@@Loctorakwe know
We love you whatever you do. 😊
At 4:55 you can see Fran laughing
WINE PLEASE! - Lots of wine - Expensive wine - Wine from the bottom of the list - Wine! - Wine!
This episode contains what I always thought of as the quintessential Black Books moment, where there is apparently another bar under the table.
I always thought this was a special effect failure - originally I suspect the idea was that there is only one bar, the bar in the restaurant; and the characters under the table are simply accessing it by looking upwards from under the table. The bartender actor seems to be the same (11:10 versus 11:33). It's just that the idea was infeasible to film, so they built the miniature bar.
hilarius episode.....so recognisable
Manny's dad is played by Sam Kelly (Captain Hans of Allo Allo!)
I really liked this one. Warm fuzzies.
2:24 Auntie Nora who farted for 5 minutes
Split tennis ball
Mars Bahbahbah
11:35 ........ 'nuff said .......
seen bill live 5 time met him 2 times
In case anyone is ever wondering, the song he's mumbling all the time is "Chattanooga Choo Choo"
17:08
Directed & produced by Dan Schneider
6:00 - coffees are there, 6:07 they magically disappear. Is this some kind of sorcery?
Loved this episode 😂👍
8:43 I’m dead
11:34 What in theee hell? Ha!
Pay no attention. But, imagine that this is the first time you've seen these. Just imagine. *DRINK!*
what about a Pino nino nino ? 2.95
In all honesty, I never wanted to meet anyone’s parents. Just saying.
Pardon me boy
🎶is that the Chattanooga choo choo
Mandy , dear i can relate to u.
Never really got what's so bad about Manny's parents - what's supposed to be their problem?
Bernard and Fran are oddballs, and are only comfortable with the three of them
I think it's tapping into that very British awkwardness around parents and older people in general- Manny and his Dad's super awkward greeting is perhaps the finest example of this. Unlike in other European countries where families stick together and gather round for Sunday lunch once a week, in the UK people tend to hate having to spend time with relatives and in-laws, and avoid it if they possibly can. So even though Manny's parents are perfectly nice, polite, respectful people they simply don't fit in with the younger generations. It says a lot more about Bernard and co than it does about the parents of course, and it's one of the many examples of genius observational comedy in the series. Another delightfully awkward and cringy example in British comedy would be in the Christmas episode of Peep Show when Mark's parents and sister come round for dinner, although it's more warranted in that case since Mark's Dad really is a total wanker.
Also in fairness they are just a little grating- not in any obvious way, but just in that general "older person missing the point and going on a bit" kind of way. Not that that's an excuse to kick them out, but still...
@@oliverholmes-gunning5372 That's such a well-considered reply. Love that episode of Peep Show too (for very different reasons).
@@joemiller3413 Thanks! What can I say? Like the rest of the world I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment hahaha
In the scenes between manny and Fran in minute 9:15-10.03, anyone think manny’s lines are dubbed, and Bernard at 9:14 is a double?
Not sure about the first one, but why would Bernard be a double? He does nothing in the scene so it would make no sense to hire a second actor to play that scene
Why is there a bar under the table ?
I see it as a speakeasy for the souls of the damned.
Tom Waits!
gotta say the dad reminds me of someone w Alzheimers
Having a fuzzy recollection of the exact date of a memory isn't really an alzheimers thing, though. Thats just routine forgetfulness.
If Moo-pa had switched between treating Manny as a grown man and as a 5yr old because their mind can no longer always tell the difference... _that_ would feel a lot more like alzheimers
Hilarious!
Pinot Nino Nino :D
Ever since I saw this 20 years ago or whatever and I'm really pissed and a GF tells me 2 ease up on the booze I say "oh hallllo moooomarrrhhhh" if she gets it she may be the one.
Smart - this is a solid vetting strategy
Dunno, the parents don't seem that bad
What’s the book Bernard reads under the table?
Pretty sure it's "The adventures of Pingu in Southern Madagascar"
Hans Geering
This series hits me on so many levels. It's funny, but it also isn't.
Shades of The Young Ones, but not as gross lol
what's the book at @11:47
i also need to know
Dylan overdoing in this one! Otherwise, a brilliant series!
8:24 ,12:49,14:11
They can’t be patient for a weekend. WTH. It is so mean.
How is it mean to not want to host two strangers for a week without being forewarned? What's mean is Mannys parents showing up about 20min after their only warning call and without even checking who owns the house before moving into it like it was theirs. That's a garbage way to behave and Bernard had every right to be angry about it/want them gone.
shazam!
Smoking still allowed in Pubs in England?
I guess it was in 2000-2004
Not anymore; it’s verboten throughout the British Isles.
Sublime dal minuto 17.00 in poi.....
La Tamsin Greig, attrice milf inglese di carisma che conosco solo stasera meglio nel film di stephen Frears "tamara Drew" (...in realtà già 'avevo adocchiata nella serie di film Marigold Hotel), merita davvero tanto... soprattutto a livello dei suoi sublimi piedoni. Un bacio su di essi! Muah!!!
I literally sign up on Netflix just to watch this, now they have it free on youtube.......
Wouldn't it have been cheaper to just buy the DVD box set, anyway? That's gotta be what, $30 and you can watch them all as many times as you want, versus subscribing the Netflix for ? months at whatever theyre charging just to be allowed to view it within the window youre being constantly billed for?
I mean it's your money, but that's what I'd have done...
🍷
It has its moments
Too many ads :(
Addblocker ? i have no ads when i watch this.
buy TH-cam premium. It is worth it! Can't stand being interrupted by adverts so paid my way out of it. Never more ads! :)
These characters are so awful.
Yes. That's the point
this is a poor episode. S3 doesn't have the pace and imagination of 1&2 - Linehan not on board perhaps. Its still quite good though
