With the world getting smaller and more turbulent, the time couldn’t be more appropriate for an iconic British satirical take on global events. Produced by Avalon (Taskmaster, The Russell Howard Hour, Catastrophe, Breeders, Last Week Tonight With John Oliver) throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, over 100 puppets have already been developed by socially distanced teams of artists ready for launch, including: Adele, Angela Merkel, Baby Yoda, Barack Obama, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Boris Johnson, Boris Baby, The Johnson Dog, Brad Pitt, Camilla Duchess of Cornwall, Chrissy Teigen, Covid-19, Cristiano Ronaldo, Dominic Cummings, Dominic Raab, Donald Trump, Dwayne Johnson, Ed Sheeran, Elon Musk, Elton John, Emmanuel Macron, Greta Thunberg, Grimes, Gwyneth Paltrow, Harry Styles, Idris Elba, Ivanka Trump, Jacinda Ardern, James Corden, Jeff Bezos, Joe Biden, Jürgen Klopp, Kanye West, Keir Starmer, Kim Kardashian, Lewis Hamilton, Mark Zuckerberg, Matt Hancock, Meghan Duchess of Sussex, Melania Trump, Michael Gove, Michelle Obama, Narendra Modi, Oprah Winfrey, Piers Morgan, The Pope, Prince Andrew, Prince Charles, Prince Harry, Prince William, Priti Patel, The Queen, Richard Branson, Rishi Sunak, RuPaul, Taylor Swift, Tiger Woods, Tyson Fury, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, all falling under the show’s legendary gaze.
A next generation of satirical writers and voice artists are working with established talent to drive a new wave of ‘public service satire’. Writers on the show include: Al Murray, Bert Tyler-Moore & George Jeffrie (The Windsors), Bill Odenkirk (The Simpsons), Brona C. Titley (The Tracey Ullman Show), David X. Cohen (The Simpsons), Gemma Arrowsmith (The Tracey Ullman Show), Jason Hazeley & Nico Tatarowicz (Charlie Brooker’s Screenwipe/Murder in Successville), Karl Minns (Russell Howard’s Good News), Keisha Zollar (Astronomy Club), Laura Major (Famalam), Matt Forde, Patric Verrone (The Simpsons), Phil Wang, Richard Herring, Sophie Duker (Frankie Boyle’s New World Order) and Travis Jay (Dave Chapelle and Friends) with many more joining the growing team. Voice artists include: Billy West (Futurama), Debra Stephenson (The Impressions Show), Debra Wilson (Family Guy), Guz Khan (Man Like Mobeen), Indira Varma (Game of Thrones), Jess Robinson (The Imitation Game), John DiMaggio (Futurama), Lewis MacLeod (Dead Ringers), Lobo Chan (Killing Eve), Luke Kempner (The Imitation Game), Matt Forde (Unspun) and Phil LaMarr (Pulp Fiction), with many more joining as the puppet cast grows.
People don’t realize this was his voice like 40 years ago. Everyone thinking he sounded like he does now his entire life.
David use to talk quite cut glass when he first started up
Not to mention it'd based on an 80s Attenborough thing or smthn
Now I get Nigel Thornberry’s main inspiration.
Like British Documentarian is usually Attenborough homage.
Mostly due to being made by people who grew with that period’s version of him.
Sir David is the only character that made it from the original series, 40 years into the 2020 remake. Incredible. Such a long and full life
And the Queen of course
And Prince Charles
@@damianleah6744 and Prince Andrew
@@redhood7650 Pity his helicopter didn't get shot down in the Falklands. The Young Prince dying heroically in a battle to win back a small part of the once great Empire.
@@markfryer9880. That would’ve saved us from seeing the vexatious claims of wrongdoings, from the US.........
Which are ridiculous for two reasons, firstly, the young woman was actually old enough to have sex with(as long as she said yes), because in the UK where she “slept” with him, the age of consent is sixteen and she was seventeen at the time(which still makes him a creepy bastard, but no law was broken)...........
But, the worst thing about this case, is that the US refuses to extradite proven/known murderers to the UK, yet they want us to extradite people to the US..........
And so, I think that until they are willing to extradite people to the UK, to face our courts, then we shouldn’t think of extraditing people to the US to be judged in that lawless banana republic............
I'm from the USA and didn't realize how soft spoken he was in the 80s vs now where he has more bass in his voice. Was thinking the voice was way off but then I looked up his 70s and 80s stuff.
I don't think he got a fish in his mouth. Base you mean.
@@abrahamlincoln4399. That spelling of base means a support, or lowest part of a structure, a foundation, or basis, etc etc etc........... Whereas, the spelling for the fish, and for the lowest timbre of voice/guitar etc etc etc, is actually Bass for them both, as in a Bassist, which is not an angler in English(although in that yanky pidgin english, as crap as it is, I suppose that it could be)..........
So you should apologise to Evo, and acknowledge your mistake, where you wrongfully make an attack, on their ability to spell correctly...........
Then, you should get off of mummies laptop, and out of her basement, so you can get back to school, because you obviously need to learn a bit/lot more about the English language..........
And being a “septic” is not a good excuse, because even though the US schools system is basically bankrupt, with their bullshit US centric lies, as well as their unwillingness to admit the truth about natural selection, but that the bible/torah/koran is unfit for teaching people about reality, but mainly because of the lies told by old fat arseholes, about the meanings of the words within them, just in order to keep their jackboots on the peoples(but especially women) throats, you could actually get up off of your arse and learn the truth, for yourself................
You should look up his earliest stuff(early to mid 50’s), where he filmed his exploits as a producer, for Zoo-quest, which showed the team, going around the world collecting animals for Zoo’s, which is not acceptable now(especially as we have captive breeding programs), but in some cases it has saved animals from extinction.............
Sir David Attenborough at his ABSOLUTE BEST!
The voice of Antony is one of the best things ever on Spitting Image.
The voice of Chris Barrie.
This show is a blessing. What a breath of fresh air!
So incredibly silly!
Love it.
The Wildebeest's reaction at 9:43 - 9:53 is priceless! LMAO!
Ah the good old days, back when David was young and wild
Wdym he's still wild
I think David should have looked where he was walking otherwise he would have been attacked by Angry Ants
And a woman
They ended too soon --
well before they could spoof Steve Irwin when you COULD spoof Irwin.
The stuff done post-stingray just seems in bad taste.
who was the Lioness's VA in this I think I have heard her voice somewhere
Save Our Planet
The planet is shit
save us
Ban Palm Oil
Save my arsehole
@@jaycartwright6054 😂😂😂
Thought this was part of the new show too 😂
9:08 lol The guy on the left frantically going through the script in a panic.. It's the subtle touches... awesome work by you all again ;)
Perfectly Marvelous
3:23 the ovary of a weasel, nutrient for the lunar module bird here seen cleaning its tweezers with octopus spittle, as talking leg warmer swims by with wiggling podules. Surely one of nature's most magical creatures. The flying angel fish. Its many coloured spores serve a double function; providing camouflage from predators, and a handy place to keep loose change
Fantastic!!! I love Anthony ❤️❤️❤️
I think RA voice is very good.
I've not heard him for a few years, but he always had a soft, gentle voice.
I just wish the BBC would show all his old black and white footage. But he did sound like this back then
Boaty McBoatface! The Legend!
Oh no sir David, my hero from childhood. Too much ;)
This is hilarious 🤣
Happy earth day every body
You too dude
It's so great to see someone continuing in the tradition of DC Follies!😂😁
The best show in town.
The funniest video this week
What a wonderful spitting
ANTony's nasal voice :-)
@Red Dwarf no wonder poor Antony has a head ache because of all those bright lights was in his eyes
loved the interplay with the ant eater and David.. hilarious...
@Red Dwarf I'm certain it's Chris Barrie. He does a great Kenneth Williams impression and he worked on Spitting Image so it must be him.
Love all these.xx😂😂
The"Stupid animal"(8:35) appears with few similar 1s in the Genesis video clip"Land of Confusion"
Ok, who else would love to own one of those Lion puppets !
Love it made my day 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The anteater sounds like it’s voiced by Chris Barrie (Rimmer in Red Dwarf) who voiced quite a few characters in the 80s.
The anteater would have sounded better with a Kenneth Williams voice imo
I sensed quite a luvvie-Williams-nasal twang there... 😬
Yeah Chris did a lot of voice overs on spit and image, was fantastic on red dwarf to especially in the episode meltdown in the outtakes he dose a fantastic Kenneth Williams 👍👍👍👍👍
Quite similar to Kenneth Williams.
anteater facts: a website about anteaters had a rather amusing typo: 'anteaters can get through several thousand aunts in a day'
My fav spitting image :)
I love spitting image, especially the political ones, so funny!!!!
also featuring the polar bear from Rotterdam zoo interspliced with footage to make it look it was shot in the wild
Only an imbecile, of the highest order(the sort of person that needs to be told, that the video footage, of a woman standing on a set of dentures in the advert, is not real footage, F F S)
would imagine that a cameraman(the non gender specific contraction, of the word human), would be stupid enough to get close to a polar bear, as it gave birth(because the polar bear, may well eat the cub, & the cameraman(again this is using the non gender specific contraction of human, which anyone who is educated would know) too), let alone put his head and camera into a den..!..!..!..
Brilliant
They definitely improved upon the voice
FUCKING HELL!
The New Spitting Image has left it too long for Series 2, they should have kept going.
Yes
I don't like how they showed Him killing that poor seagull but I did like how the Sheep kissed him while it had the bake bean tin on its head I think he learned his lesson in the new series.
@@eliotreader8220 it’s just a puppit
Exactly
I got some good news
HAAAAH! This is GREAT!!!!
I didn't get this at the time but since then having heard of luvvies and how their attitudes I now get it.
Goddam timeless 😁 Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll continue my vigil waiting to see those wildebeest sweep magestically across the plains
Are you in Torquay?
@@thechumpsbeendumped.7797 Eh, no...(??)...is it graced with wildebeest?
@@thechumpsbeendumped.7797 Ah, excellent - just Googled them with Fawlty Towers and was treated to a clip that’s refreshed my memory - thanks ! 😀 (And, no, a view of Torquay in Torquay simply is not good enough! 😞)
@@youreg
I thought it must be a Watery Fowls reference but maybe you heard it so long ago you forgot where you heard it. I’m glad you got the reference and enjoyed the trip down memory lane.
@@thechumpsbeendumped.7797 Exactly - it's the default phrase that comes into my head when I hear of wildebeest, and hadn't realised it probably originated in the Fowls episode when I first viewed it!
Sir David Attenborough looks different and has another voice. You did it better in the past. 😳
Completely disagree with you
agree thought this was the Queen 1st up being a Dave stand in
This clip is from the original spitting image.
finally, some clips posted post series 10 and even more eye opening is clips from post series 12. Why all of a sudden spitting image?
Indeed hilarious🤣🤣
love the joke at Dickie
I don't find David himself that funny. His big eyed cameraman cracks me up though
I really love the original spitting image ✌🤘💘🥀😘
i want to see modern attenborough (was he like that back then?) getting irate about climate change every other second while a wild xinping sniffs greta thurnberg trying to play dead
Please can I be a friend
8:24 woah! I am in a Land Of Confusion here?
CORRECT
Phil Collins
So much better than the recent effort from Spitting Image. I miss the original ones.
Woke wilderbeast before there even was such a thing as woke. Class!
Honestly it neither looks nor sounds like the good Sir.
100%
Yeah I thought it was Tony Blair and the voice made it unwatchable. I don't see the point of impersonation humour if you can't do the impersonation bit.
Can't get it all right.
The new one does though
Because this was the 80's
That eye. Lmao
It was funny, in the 80s they told us bamboos are going to run out and the pändis are going to die if you don't give some money to WWF. Bambu keeps growing at a 1 meter per day and the pandas must live in a golden palace by now.
Look for a documentary : WWF the business with the panda you will see how an evil project it is.Not what you have been taught to be.
Exactly
11:42 My favorite part 😂
luv
12:14 XD is so funny
Antony😂
Anteater : What's my motivation darling ?
I can see it now; a hot soapy toe stroking the William Morris tiles over the gold taps at the end of the bathtub and the sound of someone singing "Land of Hope and Glory" in Latin - ha!
8:34 This moment wouldn't have been nearly as funny without the sounds of the spoon and the meaty slap on the forehead.
@3:25 about the best of English gobbledegook.
What a scream.
😂
Are we looking at the future world?
should have asked Sir David to do his own voice over.
😂🤣😂🤣
LMBO 😆😆😆😂😂😂
The humour is moving toward monty python esp with the scouse lions
He looks so young 😂
That's because this is the 1980's series...
@@SPM0717 greatness from small beginnings..
I really like the lion on lion shaggy shaggy 😉
wilder beasts do have sharp horns and don't get in between Lions and their Lunch David
*Briliant and hilarious!... (and damned SEXY, too, if you ask me!...) (purrr)* 🤣
Funny!!!
I'd wonder what Sir David thinks of his Spitting Image self?
shoulda left all of this on the cutting room floor.
Lol
6:19 : PETA not amused.
Thought it was the Queen being dave 1st up
dave making stuff in the garage
sheep kisses dave Nice!
I think the best part of this was his argument with Mr and Mrs Lion and Mr Wilderbeast
@@eliotreader8220 ha i know too many funny bits
so.. did you guys just watch huggbees and go "we should steal this bit"?
David Attenborough is the best man alive in Britain.
Hello
A Scouse lioness...lol.
who voiced Antony the ant eater
Brilliant voice nearly wet myself 🤣🤣🤣🤣
crazy that a man who appeared in the original show appears in the current version still doing the exact same job lol
but in the new series he's trying to use a mobile phone camera?
A lot of truth in satire, certainly more truth than the BBC can come up with.
Gotta say.. The old impression wasn't that spot on in early days. Sorry. Bloody love Spitting Image though. X
11:37
:)
People who pronounce migraine as meegraine need driving into the sea.
Antony
The pretend geordie accents aren’t getting any better.
I used to like him but now he is way over the edge in self love
)
😅
The lions 😁
Is this supposed to be David Attenborough?
The voice of Attenborough is dreadful.
No one is perfect. Got the rest of it right.
@MWay Different voice actor
@MWay this is from the original show in the 80s
7:53 wtf is that
Pertaining to be god.
I'm sorry but I had to stop at Antony's accent.
You can't top an ant-eater with a British accent! 😂
hilarious
