Fantastic to see this on here. Gods work you are doing of late, Couchtripper! I was a bit too young to see it on its original airing but was lucky enough to catch it later on. I do hope the next generation find this on their algorithms.
@@LoneKharnivore Eh? There have been loads of brilliant shows that have only had one or two series. That means absolutely nothing! The vast majority of US comedies are utter shite yet get about 25 series each. Off the top of my head, here are some classic UK comedy shows that only had one or two series: The Day Today, Jam, Spaced, Fawlty Towers, 15 Storeys High, Bruiser, The Armando Ianucci Shows... I could go on.
This happened to me. I passed man in my car throwing glass bottles at people in the street, as i drove further i saw a copper and pulled up to tell him. As i drive off i could see in my rear view he went straight into Greggs bakery 😂
I don't know why but "You're trampling on our rights, Roger!" never fails to get me. Always a problem when low morale is undermining your... productivity
@@remylebeau34 directs films. He did attack the block, kid who would be king and a couple of others. He does podcasts with Adam once a year tho and they're pretty funny.
1:35 What really makes this bit work is the contrast between the police in the sketch and the real cops: one lot are scruffy, aloof and would do anything to avoid solving crime - whereas the ones in the sketch are dressed quite smartly.
1:48:35 Arthur Mathews shouting "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! YOU BOLLOCKS!" easily the highlight of both serieses. Really a great sketch series, many of the sketches have a strong Gary Larson influence.
Keep being reminded of the stare out sketch at 1:00:20 when the footballer of the same name scores for Villa. 'it's hard not to mention Duran's unusual style '
There’s a woman in this sketch show that’s been bothering me all the way through as I thought I recognised her - 💥 its Alan Partidges Ukrainian girlfriend ! Thank fk for that 😅 👍🏴
@@Couchtripperwas that the episode with Kevin Eldons ‘fat handed tw*t’ character? Seem to remember it involved him catching a baby falling from a high rise building.

Wow. Simon Pegg was incredibly lucky Spaced got commissioned, wasn't he? If this was his career highlight I doubt he'd be starring in Hollywood movies today.
I think it was Band of Brothers that helped him - Tom Hanks, David Schwimmer as connections. Didn't seem to hurt the careers of Scott Grimes, Damien Lewis, etc, either.

The cat and mouse fight is the most accurate street confrontation caught on film.

Easily one of the best sketch shows ever. So many classics!
Is that why it only lasted for two series, four years apart?

@@sratus Oh, absolutely
God I miss this crew of comedians so much.
This channel is like a time machine back to my formative years!
Loved it from day one, favourite sketch, old teacher going back to old empty school.😂😂😂
big smelly cocks!
The gymnast sketch at 55.00 was exactly what happend in the Olympics this year 😂😂 . The aussie woman who couldn't break dance at all
The Woman who broke dancing
RayGun 😂 absolutely amazing
Hahahah I thought exactly the same thing...
The cat and mouse fighting still cracks me up.
"Leave it, it's not worth it!" 😄😄
Pegg almost breaks his neck at 8:40 !
Kevin Eldon's timing is always superb

most competent police officer
But did anyone steal his helmet?
sorry that's a piracy thing I think
Haha…. Though their partner might have been in there and they were going in to get them
They do sell good pies
Chris Morris narrating the jockey/Prince skit of course
Plus Liz Truss at 19:30
Never twigged this before!
What a classic.
Thanks for sharing Mr Tripper
One of the best sketch shows made, up there with 'Smack the Pony'.
Way, way funnier than Smack the Pony
This series was tops .
Thank you Couch tripper! Excellent work as always 🔥
I've never seen this before, but it's just full of talented folks who I love ❤️
Somehow managed to foretell Australian break dancing and Lia Thomas in one sketch
I LOVE the World Stare-out Championship!
Especially the 43rd - it really was an outstanding tournament.
The big train on a small map reminds me of Liz Truss 😂
I don't know why but "You're trampling on our rights, Roger!" never fails to get me.

Adam and Joe wrote that one 😂
@@jimbobbbyAdam and Joe was classic I had no Idea they wrote for this, thanks for sharing
@@remylebeau34 no problem. I'm a bit obsessed with buckles and I think he said it on a podcast.
@@jimbobbby does Joe do anything nowadays? I haven't seen anything from him since way back then
@@remylebeau34 directs films. He did attack the block, kid who would be king and a couple of others. He does podcasts with Adam once a year tho and they're pretty funny.
Brownings bank sketch has now been stolen by haribo. I like that too to be honest.
The first one is my most favorite ever! The train was is a gem also!
The Hall and Oates sketch is simply legendary.
1:35 What really makes this bit work is the contrast between the police in the sketch and the real cops: one lot are scruffy, aloof and would do anything to avoid solving crime - whereas the ones in the sketch are dressed quite smartly.
Thank you so much for this and all your videos, awesome!!
Ah,nice one for this,Couchtripper.
An underated and criminally unrepeated regularly,classic sketch show.
The Stare Out Comp is a fave. 😅
That "murder at the dinnertable" sketch looks like it was taken straight out of Jam.
Glad I bought it on DVD 👍🙂
What a first ep of s1. Amazing.
1:48:35 Arthur Mathews shouting "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! YOU BOLLOCKS!" easily the highlight of both serieses. Really a great sketch series, many of the sketches have a strong Gary Larson influence.
Id forgotten that the actor Kevin Eldon was in this!
That's because of how good his acting is.
DRINK YOUR WEAK LEMON DRINK NOW!
Where's... My... JELLY!
EEEAAARRTH
He had his own funny show, Here's Kevin
The best era for Brit comedy writing.
'if I see a young man with a beard, I think oh no, danger yorkshire ripper' :)
The scene starting at 1:38:55 I’ve been searching for for years. Cheers guys
Oh..um 😮
"won't we need a giant" 😂
The Hall and Oats sketch is god tier.
Keep being reminded of the stare out sketch at 1:00:20 when the footballer of the same name scores for Villa.
'it's hard not to mention Duran's unusual style '
I literally cried with laughter at the table tennis/funeral home sketch 😂😂😂😂😂
The second sketch with the police officer is no longer comedy its reality.
Campignola is the master. There'll never be another.
@11:15 was the sketch I think I told my mates about to
convince them that
to get on the Big Train
😂
There’s a woman in this sketch show that’s been bothering me all the way through as I thought I recognised her - 💥 its Alan Partidges Ukrainian girlfriend ! Thank fk for that 😅
👍🏴
Well we know where RayGun got her breakdance routine from. 🇦🇺
Genius 😂😂😂
Brilliant CouchTripper - thank you, that Virginia Plain ending was wonderful. Did you manage to get the second series done?

@@CouchtripperI like your style man!
Awsome man , I had the dvds back Iin the day 👍
Memorable characters
Simon pegg foreshadowing ed in sotd in the ritz/titz sketch.
Was that graham linehan? In the hall and oates sketch?
Yes
and Michael (Simon Greenall) from the petrol station/hotel in I'm Alan Partridge in the same scene.
I never knew this was the origin of fursonas!
So this is what Jim was up to before FND
George Martin... OMFG!
Brilliant comedy
The actor Kevin Eldon.
Ooh interesting which episode was it?! I love this sketch show series, definitely one of the best ones out there!
Episode 3. The whole thing was blocked.
@@Couchtripperwas that the episode with Kevin Eldons ‘fat handed tw*t’ character? Seem to remember it involved him catching a baby falling from a high rise building.
@19:25 demonstrating the average MPs intelligence! (Dressed at Rachel Reeves)
1:17:50 do you guys think Mitchell and Webb stole this for their clapping sketch?
2nd sketch - who knew the police would ACTUALLY end up like this? (At least for minorities)
She should have said he was wearing a St George's cross.
they were always like that and acitvely hostile as well
Classic
Who did the animation for the staring contest?
Could it be the same person who did Simons Cat? ❤

@@Couchtripper ah it was Simon tofield. I guess it's all in the first name lol 😂.
But thanks for your correct info it's much appreciated
Absurdist comedy isn't really my cup of tea. I didn't find The Mighty Boosh that funny either but the actors are cool.
Oh, how interesting.
How would they have gotten this past the pitch stage with this?
but, it's not better anywhere on tte planet.. shame , if humans can not care for their jongsters, than there is no human race anymore
