I LOVE THIS SKETCH ! I WORK WITH 3 Polish people who think this is really grade a gold! pity there are no longer comedy like this. on another level I met Harry Enfield years ago, through my work in a Hospice. he came to vist, Harry was /is such a lovely man please do some more work like this!" thank you for being such a nice man .
I’m Canadian but my background is Polish and I grew up in a Polish neighbourhood in Toronto. What a perfect portrayal of Polish people. The frostiness, the frankness, the contempt - they nailed it all haha!
too direct for me these Eastern Europeans...they are HARSH...BUT....you do know where you stand with these girls...unlike British girls they f you about too much...they dont know their arses from their elbows!

Yes funny on so many levels, good for Harry Enfield and older English man, shy with girls, getting so excited at the start. So funny. At least we can laugh at ourselves in the UK.

I have had the same situation with a polish girl at work,she gives you all the signs that she's interested in you and when you give it back its like aaaaaahhh go away!!!
This is how I felt on my 40's working around young ladies in their 20's. They used to giggle and call me grandad! I told them about the first car I drove and one of them said Was it a model T Ford? I laughed whilst dying inside!
Well they must have been idiots then. For a start 40's is still fairly young, as A) most people live until about 90 now and B) In order to be their ''grandad'', you would have had to have been in your 60's!! They wouldn't get away with that in the workplace now.
@@simonaminsley305 It was ok Simona, honestly. In the end I married one of them anyway, the one who tore into me the most! She is 18 years younger than me and she still calls me grandad! Sometimes things end well. Thanks for your support though and Jasmine says hi.

I'm from Poland and it's not so realistic to me, because she clearly doesn't have polish accent :) When she speaks in english it sounds more like a russian accent, when she speaks in polish it's not polish accent. Also, she's not using polish only, I think she used czech or slovakian at least once and some other slavic language or faking it (unless this was the idea of the sketch).

Hi there. I'm Polish. Been living in the UK for about 16 years now. I absolutely love The Flying Circus of Monty Python and their sense of humour which I guess is the very quintessence of the English humour. Very often return to those sketches of theirs, time-permitting... They were without a doubt the best comedians in the whole history of the world. The Greatest. When I was younger, we used to watch Benny Hill on the Polish TV as well. Loved it. At that time, as a child, I couldn't understand English, of course, but such things (and songs) did prompt me to learn it on my own, even without a teacher---a book was all I needed (which incidentally means that if you really want something, you're going to get it). Now that I do I enjoy THIS type of humour so much more. And please remember, Polish is difficult . Very difficult. In fact, one of the 3 most difficult languages to learn in the whole wide world. So, if you think you're a titan and can achieve the Impossible, you can challenge yourself and try to learn it :) But yes, I actually know 2 native English people that do speak very good Polish. They have studied at Polish universities and got their degrees, one of them in history and the other one in maths.
Are they Lithuanian, Polish and Hungarian? I speak Hungarian and Polish from an early age, fluently, and we had a Lithuanian help when I was little, living in Wrocław, and I picked up the tongue from her, although I don't yet speak it; I have the Chomskyan template. Best wishes.
i love you polish coming to live in the UK. got a few polish mates at work and been invited round to theirs for barbecues, they really know how to drink and make people welcome. Nice families mate 👍
I thought I was the only one affected by Polish women in shops like this. They're so fascinating and exotic to me, but they just smile and take my money.
Polish people are the only other Europeans that share British sense of humour. Since 1996 I have met so many amazing Poles and Romanians (yes, really). Europe was ace, while it lasted ..
I love the tortured 360 she does when looking for the newspaper. But that doesn't even begin to compare to the 360 she does at the end when she goes from standoffish to extremely interested. Poor guy doesn't seem to know what a nutter he's hooking up with.
Everything that follows from 8:30 is simply psychology gold. Beautifully observed. The older man would die for a date with the blond girl. He finally gets his wish but the realistic prospect of getting it on with an even more attractive female spoils it for him. In an instant the object of his desire turns into an obstacle to winning over the more desirable girl. So true.
REALLY though? I mean cmon....how realistic is this? this is a balding old dude irl no one wants to date at that age, and yourself? "so true"- and why??? It's like he's being given gifts left and right and not sure why.
@@IhaytFukkingsocialmedia You are not getting the point I was making. Accept the premise that the geezer gets his date and the younger, more attractive sister is then flirting with him no matter how unlikely that is. What matters is the prospect of getting the more attractive younger sister turns the previous object of desire into an obstacle, which then shapes his feelings towards her. And that is a very accurate observation how our feelings about what we value are shaped by context.
I can't begin to analyse why this sketch is so brilliant - it just IS. Harry brings subtle new dimensions to humour that, sadly, I think go over a lot of peoples' heads.
I found it super funny because I had a buddy who had a crush like this on the polish girl working in a local fry-up joint. After a time he discovered she was married so he transferred his crush onto her sister. Art imitating life.
yeah it's a fascinating situation. I think what happens is awkward guys don't have to be as sharp because the language barrier masks what would normally be a bland conversation. As a result you feel as if there is some chemistry there, when there probably isn't. Great comedy!
Thank you so much for this - the subtitles are great and show how much care the writers spent on these sketches, when they could so easily have put in Polish-sounding nonsense. It does indeed capture the cultural and gender differences perfectly - so funny!
@@Harmonical1 yes he is. As was Ronnie Barker. Both are comedy geniuses. I'm not sure about being lucky though. He's a right pain in the arse 🤣🤣, Always playing pranks. And changing his voice during withheld number phone call 🤣🤣. He's a right cheeky blighter I tell you.
lol why is he getting all the cute young chics who like old dudes though? and more importantly where do we older women find the cute young guys into MILFS???
"it is a polish film. about the Stalinist atrocities in my country. It is supposed to be quite funny!" I f'ing died and then wondered how many Poles from this period are still alive today.
Polis shop on Cavendish Place?. A friend of mine used to own Little Polka on Seaside road, which she closed down in about 2011. She still has the Polish style crockery she served the food in. It’s now the Legends Barber.

Paul Williams, you DO obviously. Speak for yourself. Nobody gave you the mandate to express opinions on behalf of the whole country. Besides, better dumb culture than no culture at all
Paul Williams, an angry middle class keyboard warrior who needs to release his bottled up rage on the Internet from time to time. He wouldn't dare talking to real people like that because he'd be too scared of being called racist or something, but here, where nobody gives a fuck about what he has to say and where he feels safe and anonymous enough, he can show everybody how brave and patriotic he is. He only does things that are English, you see. He has fish and chips every Friday, roast dinner on Sunday, waves English flag to show just how English he is. In reality though, he's just an uneducated, overly proud, probably a little overweight with a high sense of entitlement little man who thinks that in Spain everyone should speak English because he went there on holiday. Also, not a single Polish person is going to take any notice of your little pathetic rant. Foreigners are here to stay and you can do fuck all about it. Have a nice English day.
Kris Gietkowski - these angry keyboard warriors with a chip on their shoulder are not usually middle class, educated or hard working people , they're lazy, computer gaming teenagers living on council estates.
@@heybabycometobutthead it's to do with citizenship, ya big dummy. Ie. Of Polish origin but born in the UK. It shouldn't be that hard to understand. 🤯 it's no different to African American or American Irish. Or even Anglo-Saxon if you wanna get really deep with it.
@@dh1380 Yeah, you live in the UK, but aren't British why is that hard to understand? Did Polish people consider Russians Polish when they occupied Poland?
I had a Polish client who used to come in to the office with her female interpreter. Both always expensively dressed and perfect make-up. It was a bit like this.
if foreign sketch comedians could lampoon Brits, Aussies, New zealanders, canadians or americans in a type of fake english that phonetically SOUNDS like english but was gibberish I would call that a genius task they'd fulfilled , its not easy!
well for that we only need to laugh at your 'how are you?" when you dont give a fuck, and 2nd most annoying thing apologizing for everything, so polite yet so fake and 2face. i laughed at scene in i-zombie when he says "we can make british evening and will be apologizing to each other whole night"
Getting older myself, 51 years young now, I notice the age gap with ladies in their 20's and even 30's. Aging is truly inevitable. The beautiful women coming out of most Eastern European countries, truly spellbinding. I had befriended and also dated very many attractive young Eastern Euro ladies in past times.
One day these sketches will be shown in school history classes with the laugh track removed and presented as primary sources: Britain in the Early 21st Century.
He nailed not only those Polki but especially the typically gulable bloke. As long as it only cost him the Duze Cappucino's, flowers and a cinema ticket I guess it's still quite funny. Behind all the humour there's as always deeper more scinister side to the sketch.
My wife was born in Poland, she speaks it sometimes when we are out, she tells me what people are talking about. I dont speak it, but I can catch on to the general topic, and yes I did catch some of the Polish in this.
Whilst in Krakow I went into a grocery shop to buy vodka to bring home, I notice a shoulder of lamb with a card on it saying 'Zebra' I asked the girl behind the counter was it really zebra to which she replied, 'If you don't speak Polish then I don't speak English'. So I left. I love the Polish sense of humour.
Laura Solon compleatly nails this part ! The first time I saw it I compleatly believed she was Polish. I should know I live in London or little Poland as its now known
@@filipzawistowski8552 Most of my Polish friends are not going anywhere. They just can't earn wages there like they can here. Besides, its been 20 years now. Most of them have kids in university!
London can't be Little Poland. It became Londonistan, it's Mayor is Pakistani. And the Prime Minister of UK is Indian. What are the valiant Britons doing about that ?!
Observational humour, never seen anymore, PC killed it. So glad Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse had so many great sketches before this new crap world began.
You're literally commenting on a video of the thing that you claim isn't seen anymore. No one gives a shit about your boring whining about "PC", you're just pissed off that racism and sexism are no longer counted as humour and you have to try a bit harder.
I feel rather sorry for so many of the people in the comment section who A. don't understand that this is aimed at the English speaking audience and B. clearly don't understand the English sense of humor. No, the accent isn't supposed to be bang on point. That is the whole point of comedy. You're supposed to laugh at the terrible attempt as the foreign accent, and not analyse it like some speech / accent expert. No, this is not an attack on any nationality. It is just humor. If you somehow can't grasp the comic value, then that's sad. But don't waste your time over analyzing.
You're not supposed to laugh at their accent, it's supposed to be a lifelike as possible, the humour is observational, that means it's based on how things really are like.
I don't know whether this will get deleted (it probably will be seen as offensive to some people even though that isn't my aim). But Polish girls are often very beautiful. I love the way they speak English too in the accent. I could listen to these ladies all day with an accent like that. I feel cheated as I've just found out the beautiful blonde lady is actually English and is called Laura Solon. 🤣
Don't be so timid. You've been thrashed into meek submission if you fear for a second that your post will be taken as offensive. It is not, of course; on the contrary it is adequately charming and besides that, in my view, roughly accurate.
It's funny...In the UK and Ireland almost every cafe is staffed and being run by Polish ladies. I know a woman that worked fulltime in a pub/nightclub and she buiöld 2 houses in Poland! One for her and her baby and one for her mother. All by waiting tables in Europe.
I'm guessing a lot (but not all .. big Suze!) of you may not have recognised the younger sister at the end? She's Sophie Winkleman. If you watched the huge comedy Two and a Half Men she went from the UK to the US and starred as Zoey, Waldens English love interest. And lovely she is :) She married a Lord in real life and has some title as Lady something or other :) BIG SUZE!! (She also played Suze in a show called Peep Show).

@@dh1380 Yeah, you live in the UK, but aren't British why is that hard to understand? Did Polish people consider Russians Polish when they occupied Poland?
I'm sure I've been served by these two!
Love the Eurodance version of _Love is All Around!_
Disco Polo.
Excellent! Really cracked me up. Thanx.
I am sat in a coffee shop in Krakow and I ordered a duży cappuccino and I had a personal fangirl moment.
Thanks for the translation, really appreciated.
Harry is truly a genius, all I love of authentic English humor
It will rain by lunchtime : (
Great comedy, still getting laughs (and comments), years along!
Would love to see more of Morwenna now - very funny lady!
Very funny. And strangely true to life in a way!
I had a Polish client who used to come in to the office with her female interpreter. Both always expensively dressed and perfect make-up. It was a bit like this.
How do people not get this.. it doesn’t matter if it’s fluent Polish or the right accent, it’s aimed at us Brits!
We get this. But still is fun to hear Brits pretends to speak Polish
no-one doesn't get that it's just interesting to learn what they are saying, or trying to say.
if foreign sketch comedians could lampoon Brits, Aussies, New zealanders, canadians or americans in a type of fake english that phonetically SOUNDS like english but was gibberish I would call that a genius task they'd fulfilled , its not easy!
@@etherspin Watch "How English sounds to non-English speakers", if you haven't already. Really interesting and I think they nail it!
well for that we only need to laugh at your 'how are you?" when you dont give a fuck, and 2nd most annoying thing apologizing for everything, so polite yet so fake and 2face. i laughed at scene in i-zombie when he says "we can make british evening and will be apologizing to each other whole night"
This is a brilliant sketch,ive watched and loved so many harry Enfield characters but this is fantastic,this sketch is up there with Les the barman.
Every Polish cafe ever. :D
Getting older myself, 51 years young now, I notice the age gap with ladies in their 20's and even 30's.
Aging is truly inevitable.
The beautiful women coming out of most Eastern European countries, truly spellbinding.
I had befriended and also dated very many attractive young Eastern Euro ladies in past times.
It's fun to see what they're saying but I think I preferred not knowing... it adds to the awkwardness. Great sketch :)
This is unironically every group of Polish women in any British workplace ever.
My mum is Polish an I fully agree. You really have to ignore the brutal honesty.
Are you a hipster?
@@jeshkam Are u gay?
@@OsweebMosley What if I was?
Struggling to understand what that means.
Brilliant! A very slight Kevin-esque "uh" near the end.
Laura Solon is fucking brilliant in this one: "ONE NINETY PLEASE!"
ah, I remember when a coffee was £1.60. Seems like an age ago...
Considering how hard Polish is, I'm quite impressed that the actresses could say anything at all :) Though a lot of it sounded like gibberish to me.
These women butchered all Polish word
Yes, I wish there was English subtitles for the Polish bits
It isn't Polish according to my friend from Warsaw.
@@CB27 It's not Polish though, it's nonsense.
@@simonaminsley305 it is ultra bad polish speaking...from 42 years old Polish guy born and rised in Poland..still living in Poland.
XDDDDDDD This is exactly the type of dynamic that exists between me and the waitresses when I go anywhere!! Ooooh shit... 😆😅
Brilliant in every aspect
thx youtube for suggesting this. just discovered this gem
They don't make 'em like this anymore.
They aren't allowed - but we have the legacy here 😊
Suprised no one cried rac ism. Spot on with the air of superiorty and condecension the polskis exude.
One day these sketches will be shown in school history classes with the laugh track removed and presented as primary sources: Britain in the Early 21st Century.
Different actresses from 1st sketch. Morwenna Banks was in the first ones, she is a great actress.
The song is Guns of Brixton by Nouvelle Vague
Thanks.
He nailed not only those Polki but especially the typically gulable bloke.
As long as it only cost him the Duze Cappucino's, flowers and a cinema ticket I guess it's still quite funny. Behind all the humour there's as always deeper more scinister side to the sketch.
Yes, the perby bloke is actually quite "scinister"
My wife was born in Poland, she speaks it sometimes when we are out, she tells me what people are talking about. I dont speak it, but I can catch on to the general topic, and yes I did catch some of the Polish in this.
and why you dont speak polish, you can learn
And actresses speak very well in the little Polish they have to learn!
Did I ask?
@@cityzens634 Mam na to wykabane
@@tomaszszupryczynski5453Why would he need to?
Harry and Paul are so underrated... This stuff is ten times funnier than anything the likes of Morecambe and Wise, The Two Ronnie's etc. did...
Oh behave!
Really ? 🙄🙄
Er no it isn't
WHAT?!!!....
Harry and Paul are brilliant
that cappuccino went from £1.60 to £1.90, the horror
Its £3.70
The benefits of Brexit.
And the polish girls have been kicked out.
Thanks for the translations. :)
Wow, the redhead is actually Morwenna Banks? Haha, loved her in Saxondale, always teasing poor Tommy. BTW I'm a Pole.
The laughing and whispering! Reminded me of high school!
Whilst in Krakow I went into a grocery shop to buy vodka to bring home, I notice a shoulder of lamb with a card on it saying 'Zebra' I asked the girl behind the counter was it really zebra to which she replied, 'If you don't speak Polish then I don't speak English'. So I left.
I love the Polish sense of humour.
His ability to spot humour in many social groups is unerringly accurate,what next Turkish barbers chatting amongst themselves...
Well, sitting in Krakow 4 months in the country, re-wathcing this, drinking wine I am cracking my ass off
I should see a doctor about that…
U dirty boogar/ U need 2 get 2 the Lavatory / Pal
47, it is old! It is very old! ONE NINETY PLEASE ! Hillarious
Ironically, the assistant, Morwenna Banks, was at least 46 when this was recorded. Very old.
But very beautiful!
Very old. Old enough to be my mother, in fact. Old. Very old.
@@sussurus Almost dead.
1.27 that nod to the left and 'good morning' is brilliant. I work a lot with eastern european women and this is exactly what they do.
Could have been any of my Polish ESOL students.... especially the younger ones 😄
There is a café in my town exactly like this. Their full English breakfast is amazing.
Great to know - thanks for sharing 👍
It must be very popular 🏃
This is real. I remember a pretty Polish woman in my local cafe, I used to pop in every other day!
Lovely day. It will rain at lunchtime. Pissing myself
Laura Solon compleatly nails this part ! The first time I saw it I compleatly believed she was Polish. I should know I live in London or little Poland as its now known
Not for long! Poles are going back to Poland thanks to Brexit!
@@filipzawistowski8552 Most of my Polish friends are not going anywhere. They just can't earn wages there like they can here. Besides, its been 20 years now. Most of them have kids in university!
@Richard She's brilliant! I'm Polish, I wouldn't behave this way but I see it around and get why it happens.
London is known as Londinistan😉
London can't be Little Poland. It became Londonistan, it's Mayor is Pakistani. And the Prime Minister of UK is Indian. What are the valiant Britons doing about that ?!
Observational humour, never seen anymore, PC killed it. So glad Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse had so many great sketches before this new crap world began.
Jesus christ get over yourself mate
You're literally commenting on a video of the thing that you claim isn't seen anymore. No one gives a shit about your boring whining about "PC", you're just pissed off that racism and sexism are no longer counted as humour and you have to try a bit harder.
I feel rather sorry for so many of the people in the comment section who A. don't understand that this is aimed at the English speaking audience and B. clearly don't understand the English sense of humor. No, the accent isn't supposed to be bang on point. That is the whole point of comedy. You're supposed to laugh at the terrible attempt as the foreign accent, and not analyse it like some speech / accent expert. No, this is not an attack on any nationality. It is just humor. If you somehow can't grasp the comic value, then that's sad. But don't waste your time over analyzing.
Agree ...seems to happen a lot, confusion, over analysis of comic situations because they are not ....realistic ?!
Too many humourless pseudo-intellectual wankers here ‘analysing’
You're not supposed to laugh at their accent, it's supposed to be a lifelike as possible, the humour is observational, that means it's based on how things really are like.
I don't know whether this will get deleted (it probably will be seen as offensive to some people even though that isn't my aim). But Polish girls are often very beautiful. I love the way they speak English too in the accent. I could listen to these ladies all day with an accent like that. I feel cheated as I've just found out the beautiful blonde lady is actually English and is called Laura Solon. 🤣
Don't be so timid. You've been thrashed into meek submission if you fear for a second that your post will be taken as offensive. It is not, of course; on the contrary it is adequately charming and besides that, in my view, roughly accurate.
Alice Lowe nailed the polish language in there, I could actually understand her haha
Alice Lowe is amazing.
Michał Suchodolski nailed it if you are English, if Polish, its not a bad attempt but still needs work.
It's not Alice Lowe though. The actresses are Morwenna Banks & Laura Solon.
@@enzotrump1618 Oh you wally. Didn't watch the whole video, did you?
@@Kris.G Alice Lowe? I only see Madeleine Wool and her great work on that Channel 4 horror show from the eighties
I think I’d die of a caffeine overdose if Sophia Winkleman worked at my local coffee shop
Very good imitation of the Polish accent.
IT WILL RAIN AT LUNCHTIME! 😄
It's funny...In the UK and Ireland almost every cafe is staffed and being run by Polish ladies. I know a woman that worked fulltime in a pub/nightclub and she buiöld 2 houses in Poland! One for her and her baby and one for her mother. All by waiting tables in Europe.
Ah the good old days of 1.60 for a large coffee
Thanks for the translation. I always wondered what they were saying.
You're welcome. English is not my native language, so please be understanding.
I'm guessing a lot (but not all .. big Suze!) of you may not have recognised the younger sister at the end?
She's Sophie Winkleman. If you watched the huge comedy Two and a Half Men she went from the UK to the US and starred as Zoey, Waldens English love interest. And lovely she is :) She married a Lord in real life and has some title as Lady something or other :)
BIG SUZE!! (She also played Suze in a show called Peep Show).
She's very distantly connected to the royal family!... her husbands father is Prince Michael of Kent.
Her mum's related to a Hawksmoor, about a million times removed
