This is even funnier now than when it was first shown. The way he can't let it go is so well observed and true to life. One of Enfield's many brilliant characters.
No point in trying to pretend that you are something that you are not. Better off just taking life as it comes, doesn't really cost anything to be pleasant to people.
"How many businesses have you built up single handedly in the West Midlands?!?" - This is such a perfect joke if you're from the West Midlands. SO many "Richer than you" types knocking around here! 🤣
Oh yes, I've met a few 'big fish in small ponds' who never venture over 20 miles except to fly to some god awful villa in spain. Everyone knows their business both professionally and socially as their shit local radio adverts saturate the ears.
@@paulabo123 Worse in what way? I'd definitely say there are more people in the West Midlands with the mindset of "personal wealth equals worth as a person" than in Yorkshire.
What's amazing is though they might have tons of money and a private registration on their car but it's incredible how stupid many of them are, lots of them are arrogant, ignorant show-offs who really don't have the brains or intelligence.
@@iamjohngalt8568 for me it's the facial expression as much as anything else as well as Stanley's response when he realises that he's completely out of his depth.😜🥴🤣
When he adds in the last part, about it being his hotel that they are sitting in...that really is the last straw for him - really adding insulr to injury!!!!😜🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did a euro river cruise last year and had a fellow OZ couple like that , after 2 days no one sat at their table there after , kept flashing pictures of his big boat at home , people pick up on knobs pretty fast .
i think KATHY BURKE is brilliant she manages to change herself literally when she plays different characters. the only other actress who can do this is SHERIDAN SMITH
What makes it for me is that gasp! After he tells them all his property, they realize he's considerably richer than you i think it's from the audience, perfect
OMG! Sympathies mate. Actually, sad story - I did have a mate who kind of thought on similar lines to these two, heavily into earning big money and what is conspicuous consumption. When he lost his job as CEO of a large national company, following a takeover, he took his own life. Very sad, his whole identity had become absorbed in his career and wealth.
When I waited on tables in Grimsby as a teen, there was a "rich" (by GY standards that weren't hard to do in the mid 80's) old couple like this. Man did they piss me off! Hed sit there smoking his fuck awful pipe with an expression on his face that youd never tire of hitting and she'd wear some fur coat. Their car was massive compared to the shit boxes most people had. And what tip did they give me? 50p. Even my boss told them to never come back when he saw that
I have actually met people like this. I'm from Birmingham and every working class bloke who owns a relatively successful business is like this, obviously not as blatant but always insinuated. I'm working class too by the way.
I worked in what was at the time Birmingham's only 5 star hotel and dealt with old money and new money and by the far the worst were the new money guys. They thought it was a licence to treat less well off people like shit.
I'm in total agreement with you on this. I work at Birmingham Airport for over 20 years now, and there are passengers who think they can speak and act like this. All because they dress up in what they think are expensive togs, and carry a designer bag with them on their Spanish flight. Very sad ! Oh and the excessive BRAGGING is so embarrassing. I think they should have a net thrown over them and removed to lost luggage department. Enfield and Bates portray this well. They have certainly done their homework. Come fly with me lets fly fly away.
Unfortunately met people like that on holiday on a couple of occasions, he had them down to a tee. That 'I've got more money than you, you should be privileged that i talk to you' attitude.
I met a couple like that in a Dubai Hotel. Bragging about their S Class Mercedes, when they asked me which car I drive. I said a Honda Civic! (True, my wife's car). They left me in peace to finish my G&T in the club lounge without another word.
The nouveau riche ....in whatever age..always have the loudest voices..with the least to say of any real value......as the old saying goes...empty vessels make the most sound
What would have finished this sketch well, when they disappeared out of sight, his boss approaching him and asking if he was going to do any work today or what? 😁
@@OliHandy2008 Yeah, I know, but I was suggesting it might have been funnier if he had been cleverly turning the tables on the snobs, but then once the snobs were out of sight, fuming, it turned out he was just an employee of the hotel after all, not wealthy, get it?
Surely the punchline to this was Harry and Wife walking away, only for the man to grab a bucket and mop and show that he was just the cleaner all along on his break.

Brilliant. I've lost count of how often I've watched this over the years.
This sketch really stuck with me as a kid, I’m not rich or anything like that but keeping yourself humble and discreet.
You remain humble but just take comfort knowing that I am considerably richer than yow
coming from someone who is considerably richer than you, thats bollocks
No point in trying to pretend that you are something that you are not.

Is West Midland worse then Yorkshire?

"how many cars ye got ye bastard?" 😂😂😂😂😂 Brilliant sketch and show.
"ow may businesses 'ave you built up single-'andedly in the West Midlands?"
@@simonmawson2382 haha what a brilliant show
I'll give it to Enfield, he's actually does a good job with the accent, unlike most.
He did a lot on the original spitting image...
Look at his Rolex Stanley.
‘Ow many businesses ‘ave you built up single-handedly in the West Midlands
The way his eyes keep flicking towards the Rolex, but still trying to maintain eye contact is priceless 😅
One of Enfield's best characters
One of the best sketches I’ve ever seen
What makes this for me is Stanley's long, angry pause and glare. 😐
I don't know if it's an angry pause, I just think that he's dumb struck, almost in disbelief.
Like a rabbit caught in the cars headlights.😱😮
Couples like this are everywhere today sadly😩
I used to love this sketch. But in reality it's just lefties mocking self made entruperners. It's very biased

@@iamjohngalt8568 Ow many free energy transport systems have you single-andedly raised from scratch in the West Midlands?
How many businesses in the West Midlands 😂😂😂😂
Lads that worked at Rover.. now all bag heads 🥳
Single-handedly... 🤣
The captains of industry who commute from Tanworth in Arden, Henley in Arden etc...
@@SnabbKassa 😂😂😂😂you know them well !!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
When I watched this years ago I didn't appreciate how observative and how well acted this sketch (and other sketches with this character) were.
My all time favourite clip from Harry Enfield.hilarious😂😂😂
Even tho his wife has no dialogue really She nails it
When he adds in the last part, about it being his hotel that they are sitting in...that really is the last straw for him - really adding insulr to injury!!!!😜🤣🤣🤣🤣
I swear ..I have seen people like that couple

You’re far likely to see a working class actor with a huge range than any other class. Weird that.
Agreed - didn't recognise her until she leaned across to speak.
@@odiedodieuk Considerably more versatile than YOW!
@@RogerBarraud Aye
You can take the man out of the West Midlands; but you cannot take the West Midlands out of the man.
Or my hotel which you’re sitting in, priceless.

Stephen Le-surf lol it’s a cringe wine sorta gasp 😅😅😅
I love his face when he’s lost 😬😡
Sadly I've got former friends who turned out exactly like these characters.
Still less disgusting than the accent.

Aww are they richer than you lol

Why would you tip someone who hates you?
This sketch has lived rent free in my head for the lat 30 years.
As i get older, I realise how horrible the Stanley is, great skit

Absolutely on point. 👏

He’s Black Country, a yam yam.
Walsall, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Tipton and surrounding area.
@@quietman2672

Genius sketches
I love it he gets angrier and angrier..
Brilliant, he looks as though he could keel over'

Cap d'Antibes
classic bloody classic
How bigs your house? Which one? The pause is brilliant
You wat?

Ya what 🤣🤣
I’ve got when friend from the north east and he is exactly like him, expensive things are more important to him than having less
anyone else remember when comedy was funny?. look what we have now eh?. sad indeed.
PC has killed comedy.
I think comments like this annoy me more than the state of comedy today, so clichéd and incorrect
@@A-small-amount-of-peas the tv companies of today have subjects they can / cannot talk about or make fun of. remember when nothing was off-limits?.
Classic....
Many people like this at Birmingham Airport on way to Spain

They trashy people head to lanzarote

You see plenty of people like this at the airport valet parking.

“Ow many cars have yer got yer bastard?” 😂😂😂😂
I've never understood the concept of recording a screen..... It's very easy to upload such a clip without doing this. We're not in 1860.
Are you not aware of the concept of copyright?
Then upload one and stop moaning like a child at something you saw for free
I just love this
I met a couple like that in a Dubai Hotel. Bragging about their S Class Mercedes, when they asked me which car I drive.
I said a Honda Civic! (True, my wife's car).
They left me in peace to finish my G&T in the club lounge without another word.
I don't drive. My chauffer generally selects a suitable car for the day's business.
I deliberately avoid German cars partly *because* of people like this. I take the Jag or the Royce.
“Ya pace of sheet!”
How good is the acting, compared to now.
Kathy Burke....looking sassy
Stanley lives in Edgbaston,Quinton.....but was from Bordesley!!!
I'd say probably lives in sutton born in erdington

I hope you don't mind me interrupting........
I beg your Pardon mate!!!! 😂😂😂😂
İ am the opposite to this character , when İ went to the Maldives which İ enjoyed , İ said it was a bit like Tenby.
I know so many people like this in the midlands
Orange TV reality stars take note. This is you
Predicted facebook here.
Wes Watson has entered the chat.
This is what my uncles like 😂😂 hes not even the rickest in the family.
I prefer him as the gypsy in Bottom
And his sketches in the young ones!
I can not find the vids for this vanished
Top gear vs grand tour lol
A relative of Samuel Leeds perhaps...
Brilliant
Is that vaseline from londons burning??
Class.
I actually know people like Stanley
'Ya pace of sheet' perfect Brummie there! 🤣
How on Earth is that couple Wayne and Wayneta? :)
Why the fuck is he drinking orange juice with a slice of orange on the glass?
He’s considerably richer than him because he has lods of mone

Considerably richer than yow
Or my hotel the one you sitting in at the moment😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Obviously a Villa supporter!!

The only thing funnier than this sketch is the method used to upload it. ffs, what a joke.

The only person who can qualify to say "I doubt it you're richer than me" is Elon Musk in 2023, not even Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos can say that.
