Greetings! To satisfy the curiosity of those wondering about the music in this video clip, I wish to remark the following: The composition used as an underscore for this little sketch is called "Narcissus"; it was written by Ethelbert Nevin in 1891 as part of the "Water Scenes Op.13".
There was a lot of brilliant comedy around at the time because tv was new and artists had the room to express ideas. But there was also crap as well, which has disappeared deep into the annals ( or should that be anals, sorry literally a crap joke) of history. Does anyone remember Roots, the comedy about a Jewish dentist? And for those idiots that go on about the PC brigade, the vast amount of brilliant comedy would not offend anyone today. Today’s comedy is sadly distributed over many platforms resulting in people not being able to interact as one large community. I have some absolutely favourite comedies that never got a chance, Trevor’s World of Sport and Joking Apart. Tastes change, get over it.
I think Marty Feldman, Tim Brooke-Taylor and John Junkin was a terrific team. Junkin was a perfect straight man, and Tim got all the parts to play old ladies or insecure young men. And of course Feldman was the idea weirdo.
Traditionelles Weinhandelsfest in den Bayrischen Alpen 🙂 Aber der Tanz würde an einem Heimatabend absolut passen, nennen wir ihn "Milchbrenten Tanz" dann passt es ........ 😂
The piano part is the same as the Bonzo Dog Do Dah Bands piece Narcissus So it's probably a traditional piano piece which was popular among music students at the time going to be hard to find the name of it.
In the time of silent films,besides theatre there was nil,then the "movies".As in the 1930's book "Brave New World" by genious Aldous Huxleypredicted, we are the generation of the "Feelies".You see,hear,smell,touch and taste the film.Leaves little to the imagination.
No it's John Junkin, who was in many of the Marty sketches (e.g. the bookshop).... John was in many British comedy skit shows and films in the 60's & 70s (incl e.g. A Hard Day's Night) The other one looks like it's Tim Brooke-Taylor??
@@synthonaplinth5980 yes its Tim Brooke Taylor. Tim and Marty worked on a lot of stuff together. They were both on "At last the 1948 show"; a sketch show in the late 1960s. They wrote the "Four Yorkshiremen" sketch for that show which was later redone by Monty Python. Tim sadly passed away a couple of weeks ago from covid-19. ☹😞
@@smoog What a shame, I did not know he passed away from that. 'At Last The 1948 Show had some hilarious bits, one of the best was 'Plainclothes Police Women'. .
I like Marty Feldman, but you could as well let Scots in killts do the wine-treading. Lederhosen are an upper-bavarian (alpine) garment. Places with a cold and wet climate where you barely can grow hops, not to talk about grapes!
They had the advantage of doing things first, as far as recorded skits go. From that point on the realm of originality was continually constricted. So everything became derivative.
Love Marty's excited little feet drumming before hopping in the barrel! Great upload thanks for sharing.
Marty Feldman always makes me smile x
eye shaming
then get away from your mirror ...@@paulabo123

Also used on The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band's Gorilla album and it's also in the Goodies episode where Tim wants Graeme and Bill to exercise with him.
Comic genius,whose life was far to short
Love Marty Feldman. Reminds me of Buster Keaton sometimes❤
Love all these sketches where Marty and Tim are together. They would be a wonderful comedy-duo.
I admire John Junkin.
Marty and Tim (and John Cleese and Graham Chapman) wrote and performed the pre-Python series, "At Last, the 1948 Show". It's on UA-cam.
Why are the people in the old days more creative and more talented?
No PC BS. This is, technically, a racially insensitive presentation. Now THAT is funny.
Maybe they were in Vaudeville.
Less driven by commerce and not beholden to such short attention span in audiences, I'd say
Their sense of humour and creativity hadn't been screamed out of them by the angry professionally offended loons.

Marty is soooooo funny. I remember the bulging eyes from when I was a kid.
He always said he could get them fixed, but then he would just be another Cary Grant wannabe without anything distinctive.
Marty had a tv show in the erly 70s i think. It was ,of course, titled The Marty Feldman show. It was fantastic!! Many memorable routines.
It's Tim Brooke-Taylor.
Love it
I had forgotten how funny this is, classic

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH EMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! WHAT a trip!!
It takes a lot of skill not to break your legs 👏
@lionelharrison Fantastic! thanks
What's the name of the Pianopart? Thanks!
@NothingmanX I'm not sure, I'd like to know as well!
This is the kind of thing that could be real.

It is indeed called Narcissus. Joyce Grenfall Nd Norman Wisdom did a very funny sketch to it back in the 1950s.
Is that a Gannex mac that the compere is wearing?
Yes! My father and Harold Wlison also rocked this look :)
He’s still going, little Marty at 89! 😎
He died in December 1982.
RIP Tim Brooke-Taylor :'(
I think that I also saw Jon Junkin there, didn't I? He was in Hello Cheeky! alongside Tim Brooke-Taylor and Barry Cryer.

Is that where the rock band The Feelies got their name?
@@barbarakirk3064 That's where I remember it when I was 15 in 1968!!! Stronger now at 70 plus one day!
I can't decide whether I want to drink a bottle or wine or dump it down the drain, after seeing how it was made?
With John Junkin and Tim Brooke Taylor......😁
Yes! Thank you for confirming it for me.
Is that Bob Todd on the left at the beginning? He was omen of Benny Hill's favorite actors and was on his show a lot.
No it's John Junkin, who was in many of the Marty sketches (e.g. the bookshop).... John was in many British comedy skit shows and films in the 60's & 70s (incl e.g. A Hard Day's Night)
The other one looks like it's Tim Brooke-Taylor??
Neil Swan Thank you. I can see now that it's not Bob Todd due to the build. Bob was shorter and stouter, but damn, that really looks like him.
Would that be Tim Brooke-Taylor on the right?

The things people are willing to do to attract tourists....! 🤑
People need to look at this stuff again to find their sense of humor.
I think that tall one worked with Benny Hill for ages.
The best
👏👏👏🤣🤣
I could have done without seeing that.
Lederhosen!!! XDXDXDXD
Maybe because they had to come up with ways of entertaining themselves rather than just watching UA-cam.
Hilarious! The music doesn't really fit, though.

Were doomed
i think its becus mankind is going in to a devoulsoin :(
If you keep rehearsing, you sorta get immune!
No phones. No internet. No I pads etc etc.
Very funny but theres no wine in Bavaria at all
Very wrong!
I just don't think you could get away with doing this on TV today.
Wine not? Er ... whine not? It's comedic and funny.
gineuss
One person doesn't like to laugh.
How is this funny?
Because some of us remember how to laugh.
@@brianlee5702 just looks simple and unimaginative imho
Crap. Then and now.
This used to be funny? I guess
