The Dirty Harry reference is made twice as funny by the fact the blunderbuss is single-shot.
In all the excitement, they quite forgot
@@jeanpaulsinatra Exactly...how...fortunate are You feelING?!
😂😂oh yes of course 😆😳🔫🎭
I know they were referencing Dirty Harry, but the costume combined with the music made me immediately think of Javert from Les Mis. 😂
I was thinking that too. "Did he fire one shot, or zero?"
How many times have I discharged my blunderbluss. Bachmann makes the show at times, he's hilarious
The way he says "They hate it!" never fails to make me laugh
He's brilliant in the 'Hail Caesar' sketch.
And the Bronze Age sketch
@@TheMijman for Vectron!
I love how Bachman cries "Where are the tunes!?" with more tone in his voice than when he's actually singing.
"Were very disappointed with you're new opperattas"
a gentlemen heckler
I genuinely would like to see a Gilbert and Sullivan style opera that takes place in the United Federation of Planets space.
Several amateur companies have done a "Star Trek Pinafore" of one type or another over the years. I think at least one is on UA-cam somewhere.
I have always wanted to write a musical based upon Dirty Harry
I was in a choir that did an 'Airship Pinafore' to align with the gas lamp or steampunk sub-genres.
@@peterzavon3012 You cannot tell me honestly that you are truly serious!
The operatic exploits of ship's Captain James Tiberius?
With the exception of some scenes in Iolanthe, all Gilbert and Sullivan operas take place solely in United Federation of Planets space! Specifically on Earth.
"We're very disappointed in your new operettas!!" hahahahahaahahahahahah 2:26
The internet.
"Exactly how fortunate are you feeling?"
I'd watch No-nonsense Harold
How many times have I discharged my blunderbuss?
Harold doesn't rhyme with anything.
@@FatNorthernBigot Double-barreled?
@@adh0c468 Oh yeah!
@@FatNorthernBigot Christmas caroled?
"How fortunate are you feeling?" 😂
hms pinafore 2 and no nonsense harold were ahead of their time
Under the boat lies a monster of the seas
One snap of its teeth and surely our lives will cease
*Our lives will cease* *Our lives will cease*
If anyone wants to finish Dangerous Shark With Big Teeth than be my guest,
Grizzled captain character:I pray to Neptune that we will stay afloat
Youthful comic relief:But to catch this killer we'll need a bigger boat
Chorus: we'll need a bigger boat yes we'll need a bigger boat
Grizzled Captain: I'll man the boat and you'll load the harpoons.
Drunk Sailor with funny voice: You best be going quickly, the beast be coming soon.
Chorus: The beast, It comes. The beast, It comes. The beast be coming soon!
(The next line should involve the shark showing up and singing a villiainous tune)
My favorite G&S collab is of course Jonathan Candlestring.
"I've heard it said you smote my child
Upon his fair and dainty brow"
"Alas my lord, you've heard it true
I struck him and won't hide it now"
"O scoundrel vile! O treachery!
Why have you giv'n my heir your sting?"
"He slew the dog and stole the carriage
Of none other than Jonathan Candlestring"
*glass breaking* *thunk* ". . . we're very disappointed in your new operettas!"
I am going to be saying this SO much, now.
Why is the last sketch repeated?

Bongobongobongobongo
@@cairosilver2932 finally a tune you can hum!
Hail the queen of Bongo Bongo land.
I feel like the writing process for this sketch began with the Dirty Harry bit.
Exactly. It would be like playing punk rock to a music hall crowd of that time. They wouldn't know what they were hearing.
It should of course be: "The question you are asking yourself, is how many times has he discharged *his* blunderbuss?"!
"Bongo bongo bongo!"
i can't help feeling that the writer wasn't a fan of utopia, ltd...
No sensible person is a fan of Utopia, Ltd!
2:24 a perfect summary of marvel and dc in 2023
Finally a tune you can hum!!! Bongo bongo bongo bongo....
did nobody notice the last one happened twice?
No.
@@lolus8974 That comment was from 6 years ago what are you doing
Edit: 9 years ago
@@cowboyjohnn Hold my beer:
No.
@@MandleRoss what?
@@cowboyjohnn What what?
Methinks gilbert and sullivan were amnesiac time travellers.
'As we say "Bongo, bongo, bongo, bongo,bongo !" in bongo, bongo,bongo BongoLand ! '
This operetta, "BongoLand", has potential. A combination of the story of Pres. Omar Bongo of Gabon and Pres. Bob Mugabe of Zimbabwe.
Why, a blunderbuss fired from the wharf, unless I'm much mistaken!
Oh, it DID!?? I thought I'd accidentally pulled the dot back.
intentional or not, I like the reference to the very odd scenes in Star Trek Insurrection... nice commentary on how Yellow face is acceptable in Makado but is clearly racist by today’s standards.
What, you mean other than the clear reference to the Albert Popwell scene ( six shots or only five ) after the attempted hold up? Not sure what you're getting at.
@@andrewlockett4569 Thanks. I’m not sure what I I was referring to I probably wrote that at 3 o’clock in the morning using Siri dictation
. The point I was making was that the skit about Bongo bongo land is smart in that it refers to The debated racism of the Makado through today’s lens. I think I was wondering if there’s a smart subtext to the Dirty Harry sketch that I missed or whether it’s a just straight up riff.
@Sythofin How many times has he discharged his blunderbuss?
@Schnorbs That was a blunderbuss though, not an arquebus.
They should do a take on Rodgers & Hammerstein as well 😂
As a G&S fan this makes me chuckle 😂
Why is the third sketch repeated?
Kind of reminds me of Horrible Histories.
You know, I actually saw Starship Pinafore. No joke, thats actually something that got done, and it really really sucked.
What is this FROM??? This is hilarious! Gilbert and Sullivan are funny in the first place. but to add STAR TREK?? And all that other stuff. I wanted to see the one about the giant shark.
'That Mitchell and Webb Look'. There are four series, all can be found on UA-cam.
Owen Davies has uploaded the entire show to UA-cam in 4K.
Is it just me, or did it repeat itself?
Why do so many sketches in Mitchell & Webb Look revolve around people centuries ahead of their time?
And the girl with the demon inside that was discharged by a vicar
hazface - if it was a question of English you'd have a good point. But, it's not a question of English. The *whole* point of the sketch is that Gilbert and Sullivan are presaging 1970s films - in this case, Dirty Harry. And the scene being parodied was the police officer (Callahan) speaking to the would-be robber and saying "I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five? ....".
That's what I think, anyway. ;-)
see! M&W is comedy for clever people!
'put the white man in the pot and eat him' lol
I'd watch bongo bongo
Bongo, bongo, bongo, bongo....
The brick should instead be a dog with a note attached
Sullivan would have said:
"I just don't know what the public want anymore"
not
"I just don't know what the public wants anymore"
Old fashioned grammar was certainly more restrained.
And certainly more plural.
"I just don't know WHAT the public WAnts anymORE."
"CUT!"
I don't understand. Why at 3:30 does it go back to 2:20 all over again and repeat itself exactly?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
Assuming the blunderbuss one is meant to be Pirates Of Penzance? 😂
Dirty Harry
Of course, if it had been "arquebus" instead of "blunderbuss"...
If you give the public the same types of plots, characterisations and attitudes they are used to, you have a greater chance of success. In Victorian times, musical operettas were the "comfort food" entertainment of the (upper)-middle classes. Giving the public proto-versions of 20th century entertainment would have been so mystifying to them that they would have become hostile. Giving them colonial-type racism mixed with all the other attitudes they grew up with would have been far more popular.
And now the "comfort food" is garbage reality TV and terrible sitcoms with laugh tracks, not sure how much we've progressed.
I might just be wanking off my brain here, but I think it's partly due to the excellent blackadder performance. Edmund Blackadder was a contemporary man in ridiculous times and that narrative sounds very inspiring. You have the whole history of humanity in which to plop down some contemporary people and from the following interaction between the ages, so to speak, hilarity ensues.
UKIP would have liked the third play

Aye, they would.
