It's classic R&M. It just leaves the viewer thinking 'what the fuck have I just watched?' It works on many levels and like most surrealism it makes you think, laugh, and feel a bit uncomfortable as well in this linear world of ours. Thank god for people like vic n bob to challenge our thoughts with their unique brand of humour.
@@Elephantstonica I last saw them at Seaton Carew Beach, just next to the wonderful, if slightly rundown, Art Deco bus station, presumably keeping away from the locals...
This place is the Airport Cafe on the A20 Sellindge. It’s still there and they do a great breakfast. Although originally a petrol station I think the pumps were put there for this sketch
I just watched it thinking I've never seen it before then it got to the egg bit and I suddenly remembered seeing it as a kid and being fuckin terrified, the boiled egg is burned in my mind.
One of the things I think is pure genius about Vic and Bob is that they have this ability to make something that would usually be considered quite sad to be funny. If this sketch was done by someone else other than Vic and Bob, I would find it more sad, but because it's Vic and Bob I find it hilarious yet slightly moving at the same time!
Such is the heartbreaking level of present day apathy among the British public that since this fine television presentation not *one* precious monkey has been baptized! 🙈 🙉 🙊 NOT ONE!! >:/
I fell about first time I saw this and have just watched it for the second time now, it is just sooooo funny, strange but funny and sad at the same time.
my brother keeps dolphins in his trasister radio still where im from u cant get the red fire engine out without rubbing edam cheese on the bonnets first !!
Yeah I was waiting for the wipers to fly off! Which one was that on? 😆 Love this one though, wonder if the precious monkeys made it to their baptism!? 😧🙈🙊🙉
@@jessicaherring1507 Indeed. Vic and Bob tried to warn us about Covid in Catterick, chest for covid, weasels, w is the 21st letter in the olde English alphabet, 2021. I would go on but I've said too much.
@curiousaboutthispuma well you don't need to know them to get the homour. the parodies are so obscure to most people and don't really work as something we know. I suppose not parodies but influences from people like bunuel and dali (watch a film of theirs!) and having it as something so obscure and out of nowhere makes it more likeable. Vic is actually an artist and a comedian too. he puts on exhibitions and they are very similar to those strange drawings he does... that's surrealism...
dunno why people class vic and bob as surreal. just two guys doing what they think is funny. like the 2 ronnies and eric and ernie. personally i think they piss all over anything a british comedian has done for the last 2 decades (except for the almighty blackadder, and the league of gentlemen gets an honourable mention.)
the canned laughter ruins it. This is exactly the kind of humour that creates a surreal situation where anything can happen. the canned laughter is played meaninglessly over events such as the man dying and remains unused at other hysterical moments like when bob hits the car with a plastic cup. it's dumbing down otherwise fantastic humour into a series of punchlines
!!!! TIME HAS RUN OUT !! John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Don't ignore this message... REPENT NOW !! TRUST that God raised Him from the dead !! By FAITH accept JESUS's blood alone as payment for your sins unto Salvation, to escape what's about to happen !!

Exactly, not many comedians could do zany sketches like this and make it so funny.
I love the bloody music it’s class
The Larry Page Orchestra - Music For Night People track 6 - Zabadak!
All we can do is hope and pray that someone found those precious monkeys and had them baptised
I’m still searching. Currently on the A178 heading into Hartlepool.
Don’t hold out much hope for them if they were near here.

Favourite sketch ever
I reckon ( based on nothing ) that the closing “now that I’m dead...” was the start of the idea. And the rest was a device to get there.
Never in all my pot smoking days have i laughed so much!
Peugeot 305 estate, what a majestic vehicle

When this sketch started I remembered seeing it. But I forgot about the egg. Frickin hilarious.🤣🤦🏻♂️🤪
David Lynch watched this sketch .... the rest is cinematic history.
I remember watching this when I was 9 and feeling genuinely moved and horrified at the same time.
I just watched it thinking I've never seen it before then it got to the egg bit and I suddenly remembered seeing it as a kid and being fuckin terrified, the boiled egg is burned in my mind.
Beautiful, just beautiful.
This is like a David Lynch movie.
Did someone just drug my tea?What just happened?
Only Vic and Bob could do something like this and make it funny.
Awesome sketch! One of my all time favourites!
god they look so young here
XDDD i love how bob tries to implement the strategic benefits of a styrofoam cup into the situation at 1:49
It's "There's Something Going On" by Babybird

Now that I am gone...who will take my precious monkeys to be baptised?
imma make sure i have an egg in my mouth for when i die
🤣🤣🤣
And dissapear
Such is the heartbreaking level of present day apathy among the British public
that since this fine television presentation
not *one* precious monkey has been baptized! 🙈 🙉 🙊 NOT ONE!! >:/
Bob's smile at 2:50 is so adorable.
I was waitin for the wipers to fly off?
Which one was that again, sure it’s a Vic n Bob one?
God bless those precious monkeys 🐵
you can watch 100 times and its still funny
my alltime favourite sketch,it still makes me hurt
So silly, makes no sense whatsoever but its utterly hilarious lol
Thank you Andy! My dad and I have been wondering for ages!!!
Best sketch. Ever.
It's heartbreaking
I fell about first time I saw this and have just watched it for the second time now, it is just sooooo funny, strange but funny and sad at the same time.
best comedy sketch ever
my brother keeps dolphins in his trasister radio still where im from u cant get the red fire engine out without rubbing edam cheese on the bonnets first !!
nothing flew off and exploded!
Yeah I was waiting for the wipers to fly off! Which one was that on? 😆
Love this one though, wonder if the precious monkeys made it to their baptism!? 😧🙈🙊🙉
Bang
The Mozarts of randomness
Comedy perfection.
Life changing video.
I think these 'Lunchtime Capers' sketches are hilarious.
They're quite mad. But the nice mad, mother.
Absolute genius
There are no words 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🐵🙈🙉🙊🐒
This happens sometimes.
Its relatable, thats what makes it funny.
As stated previously in thread, Something going on by Babybird. its here on youtube, highly recommend it, great song
I made my friend watch this with no context lmao
This could be used to explain brexit to people who don't understand it
what in the hell is going on with that egg?
Brilliant!!!
This is my favourite scene from the best Vic and Bob series (Bang Bang?).Why was it shown late night on BBC 2!? Watermelon patch anyone?
Would you like some black milk sir?
In the (gulps) Melon patch!!!!
@milkjester : It is genuinely heartbreaking, I laughed and felt sad at the same time!
🐒🤞 🐒
Pure genius.....
This reminds me of an Avalanches video
that was ridiculous!!!
That's very frustrating
It is frustrating innit?
This looks like a Radiohead music video
Whats the song playing at the beginning part of it
Zabadak.
I'm speechless lol
This demonstrates the frustration we all have with car doors in this modern life. Or is it just me?
The cars have gotten bigger,
But the parking spaces haven’t.
Dadaism on the BBC.
Is this an episode of Twin Peaks?
hahahah ahahahah hahah ahhahahahahhahaha ahhahah
exactly what i was thinking!
David Lynch would love this.
babybird-there's something going on
Great Album!
Baby Bird's best imo 😸_👍
Higson looks a bit like Bill Kick at the end there
A friend of mine and I believe that the egg in the mouth thing may occur in something else like a music video, can anyone confirm this?
Another man taken too soon by chest weasels.
Catterick!

It's like something off of David Lynch
Yeah!
Vic & Bob did "Monkeys"
and
Dave did "Rabbits" ua-cam.com/video/drjQfQtv2BQ/v-deo.html
More 'Lynchian' than anything David Lynch has ever made, more watchable too!
He did "Rabbits"
Vic & Bob did "Monkeys"

Forget surrealism, why not just accept it as funny,!? just as it was intended.
The sacrament of baptism has not, I think, often been extended to monkeys. At least not in the Western tradition.
Cheers chief.
@curiousaboutthispuma well you don't need to know them to get the homour. the parodies are so obscure to most people and don't really work as something we know. I suppose not parodies but influences from people like bunuel and dali (watch a film of theirs!) and having it as something so obscure and out of nowhere makes it more likeable.
Vic is actually an artist and a comedian too. he puts on exhibitions and they are very similar to those strange drawings he does... that's surrealism...
right out there...lol
I've put the music on my profile (the comment thing won't let me put a link to it)
This is karate!!!!!
What's the song called that plays in the background when the guy dies?
I know you asked this 3 years ago, but the song is called 'There's something going on - Babybird'
strangly moving........
Does anyone know what the music is during the bit "There's something going on..."?
He disappeared!
whats the song playing when the man ejects the egg from his mouth?
Massive in the states
*Hicks
Basicaly cheesy strap ons for anyone who hasn't tried em.

😂 Of course
ace!
@RallyDon82 I concur.
what is the music called? the easy listening one?
The Larry Page Orchestra - Music For Night People track 6 - Zabadak!
An old Nissan Bluebird.
wow
poignant
It's not Catterick haha
Fucking nuts.
😂✌🏻🇩🇪

It dunt ruin anything pal just how it was then ... that bit where they keep looking at each other destroys me
It's not canned.
Genius... We need less shooting stars and more catterick.
Not real monkeys.
I've seen less coherent things in art galleries🤣
