One of my favourite lines from the entire series was when they missed the QE2, and the captain recommends they try to catch up to the ship. ''Now, listen to me my good man. Important as I am in social circles, I have not yet risen to the level where I can walk on water.'' Genius.
Fantastic line 😂😂😂 I like the ones about people of a “foreign extraction” calling her on the “pearl white slim line telephone with last number redial” 😁
How about her showing Richard her hats and saying I will not have you being unfaithful to my hats when he wasn't impressed? Or when onslow's bike was outside the restaurant and she said oh goody-o-yippee why not let it be onslow, but put a little scruff into her voice?
Oh yeah that's Hyacinth in a nutshell 😂😂😂😂😂God she's an hilarious character in keeping up appearances. 'Poor Richard he must of almost been sent to a mental health facility putting up with our Hyacinth, Rose" said Daisy and Onslow 😂😂😂😂😂 RIP Geoffrey Hughes and Clive Swift. Thank you for such talent while you both were alive as a body,mind and soul. Forever remembered and never forgotten 💔💔
“Sometimes on sleepless nights, my heads swimming with the responsibilities of organising another candle light supper. And sometimes I wonder...............did he REALLY, buy that frisbe” Comedy Gold 😂😂😂
There's an episode when Rose has taken a tranquilizer and both Richard and Hyacinth try to steady her. As her legs keep giving in Hyacinth utters what is in my opinion the best line of the entire series: 'I know it's been a lifetime's dedication but I wish you'd try to break this habit of wanting to lie down everywhere.'
What about Mr. Bean? He's the Charlie Chaplin of our day and age. Plus he has the most recognized face. When I saw Wonka and Rowan Atkinson appears all the kids in the theatre yelled out: It's Mr. Bean!
Some of that may simply age related. I’m 62 and fondly remember certain comedies from the 60s and 70s. But there also many that didn’t resonate so those fell by the wayside. Also trying to appeal to a broad audience in an era of multiple channels vs 3 (I’m American so I’m speaking from that perspective) is different.
A few actors on 22 Minutes from the CBC are just that good too. Good thing Canada and the United Kingdom can work together while having a sense of humor while enjoying to watch both sitcom series sometimes. Check out "22 Minutes" sometimes to get a more balanced perspective filled with humor sometimes about how something just sounds way too farfetched to be true.
I remember it was broadcasted on public TV in Poland in the 90's. Hyacinth reminded me of my neighbor who employed her whole family to refurbish her house and garden every single summer
I’m 36, I used to watch it with my dad in the evening, while my mum was in the kitchen getting supper! Always used to be a favourite, that and “One foot In The Grave”, or “The Brittas Empire”. Ahh those were the days, I wish they were still on tv, or repeated somewhere.
My absolute favorite are the ones with sheridan and hyacinth's phone convos with violet, "it's my sister violet, the one with the mercedes, sauna and room for a pony?"
Hyacinth Bucket ("It's BOUQUET") one of are THE all-time GREAT screen characters. What's the combination of comedic timing+physical humor, she's the British version of LUCY, Lucy Ricardo as played by Lucille Ball.
On PBS KCET Ch 28 in California, Keeping Up Appearences AND As Time Goes By the best of the best both ran back to back for many years... What a shame they stopped that incredible back-to-back combination on Saturday nights.
(Richard & Hyacinth paddling down the Amazon): "Mind the pit viper, Richard." "It's on the far bank, Hyacinth!" "Well, you never know. It could spring."
"Yes, I know you still have good legs dear, I just wist you didn't wave them about so much." Hilarious that one, one of the best lines delivered, only Hyacinth can deliver a line like this.
I love this show! Every time Elisabeth is there. It's bragging with "It's my sister Violet. She is the one with the big house, sauna a Mercedes and room for a pony" 😅
“Sometimes on sleepless nights when my head’s swimming with the responsibilities of organising another candle light supper... sometimes i wonder, did he buy the frisbee?” 😂
But in 1 episode Richard finally stood up to her by telling her to get back in the car when she was making a scene where she wanted to use the public phone booth but the guy who was using it wouldn't let her.
He might have gotten away with it, too. They always look at the husband or boyfriend first, but in the case of Hyacinth there would be such a large number of suspects. I guess he loved her.
One of my favorite lines in the show, was Richard commenting on how before he was married the name was bucket, and how it changed after he got married.
MY, favorite was definitely * the Chinese Take Away*..... Hyacinth is the only Actress I know with the upmost superb skill of keeping her dignity while acting like, a Complete fool. Superb Actress& there will NEVER be one like her. My fav. SHOW!!!!!CARRY ON!!!!!
"I can't stand snobbery...it makes it so much harder for those of "US" who really are (superior)...that's the essence of "our" Hyacinth, and pity, there won't be another since she created the character that gets under our last nerve. Long live Mrs Bucket/Bouquet!
“Keeping Up Appearances” (1990-1995; 1997) is one of very few sitcoms that are funny because of its characters* rather than its lines and jokes❕ A MUST-WATCH BRITISH JEWEL‼️ 💚💎💜 * For instance, Hyacinth Bucket who insists that her surname is pronounced “BOUQUET”❕

and the way she said it had me tickled
I liked the way she said "not yet" as if she one day would lol 😅😆
Haha I never noticed that line, seen this as a kid tho tbf

I used to love this when I was younger. Now I’m older, I appreciate it even more.
Same
Same!!
Same
I couldn't agree more.
Same
People who try to pretend they’re superior make it so much harder for those of us who really are😂
So true Hyacinth🤣

honestly relatable.....

Poor Richard, God forbid if he actually bought a frisbee!
😂😂😂
"Richard, I do believe that you are deliberately expanding"! Perfect Hyacinth! I do miss this show we do need this back in reruns.
Wouldn't be the same
😂😂😂
"You can always tell a gentleman by the way he blows his horn" "Listen, horse! I'm not a person to be trifled with!" 😂😂😂😂
Classic one liners are always spoken from Hyacinth Bouquet's mouth💜😂😁
Such a good gut workout watching her at her finest ☺😀
@@rosiewhitfield123 *Bucket
Unknown to her all you need to do is kind of move your feet inward almost kicking it kind of....

One of the best characters ever written for television right here☝

I am 24 and spent my early 20s bingeing this series! I absolutely love it and the old comedy is nothing on what we get today x
You give me hope for this poor world. Keep it up!
Because if this came out today, everyone would be “offended.”
@@WaitWhat99 I know! It’s annoying, mostly everyone’s a snowflake now

A tremendous show. Can watch over & over. Hyacinth is magnificent. No one ever as hilarious. Bravo Patricia!
'How inconsiderate of people to die at the weekend' 😭🤣💀
I was dying at that part 😭😭😭
@@jakenebson the weekend?!
@@jakenebs how _inconsiderate_ of you 😅
Lady Violet Crawley: "No Englishman would dream of dying in someone else’s house."
"Wha...what is a weekend?" 😂
A gem for all times. The entire cast is memorable. And as Rose says, that vicar is really "dishy"!
"How could you love an Onslow? He sings on coach trips!"
😆😆😆😆😆
I loved this show. I've been watching this since I was a teenager. Helped me through depression. So funny.
Good choice!
Every line was Gold!!!
Top quality British comedy at it's best.
Hyacinth Bucket is Legendary. We will always remember her. 92 years old and 60 years old at the time of this show amazing

Could you imagine walking through life as oblivious as Hyacinth? Her ego could fill up a Trans-Atlantic cruise. She is the British Peggy Hill.
Lol
English Peggy Hill that's hilarious
So Bobby Hill is Sheridan ? We pretty much narrowed down what Hyacinths son looked like.
@@davidvonbrawn4904 Peggy would cave in to give Bobby money despite Hank's protests
My family and I just loved this show. Terrific cast and Patricia Routledge, what can I say, she was a perfect Hyacinth. Hilarious!
I reckon ☺😁
Was so hilarious. Cast of great characters! 😅😂🤣
My God the frisbee line... genius!
"Now listen, horse!" 😂 Bloody love Hyacinth.
Keeping up appearances was definitely one of the best 90s shows.
Just hilarious! Hyacinth's one-liners just never grow old!
The Frisbee part killed me :D
I remember it was broadcasted on public TV in Poland in the 90's. Hyacinth reminded me of my neighbor who employed her whole family to refurbish her house and garden every single summer
This was my introduction to British comedy, as kid i used to demand my mom watch it with me 😂
That is very cool...you must have been young...did she like it?
I’m 36, I used to watch it with my dad in the evening, while my mum was in the kitchen getting supper! Always used to be a favourite, that and “One foot In The Grave”, or “The Brittas Empire”. Ahh those were the days, I wish they were still on tv, or repeated somewhere.
No better an introduction to British comedy!
What is the missionary position in China these days? lol
Priceless laughter right there 😁😁😁😂😂
That was hilarious , the look on their Faces was priceless. 🤣🤣
My absolute favorite are the ones with sheridan and hyacinth's phone convos with violet, "it's my sister violet, the one with the mercedes, sauna and room for a pony?"
The best British comedy that I miss seeing on PBS in the US!
And don't forget Hyacinth vowing to ever
protect Elizabeth from
" sinking into _moral turpitude_ "
You went past no 23 too fast... She had NO opportunity to see my hat.
We all need a good laugh now and then, and Hyacinth never fails to deliver! and room for a pony..... classic.
HILARIOUS. every time. Routledge was a comedic gift to tv.
Hyacinth Bucket ("It's BOUQUET") one of are THE all-time GREAT screen characters. What's the combination of comedic timing+physical humor, she's the British version of LUCY, Lucy Ricardo as played by Lucille Ball.
not quite - she lacks Lucy's abrasiveness and has an air of genteel dimwittedness that's still rather sweet.
Not really.
Such a wonderful talented actress.
I love Hyacinth, She cracks me up 😂poor Richard😂
Stacy Neuman Imagine being married to someone like her. At the very least life won’t be boring! :D
Christopher Bo it would be the exact opposite of boring 😅
Poor Stacy
My Nana loved this. I remember being at hers when I was younger watching it. This is funny.
Lol, PBS re-runs on Saturdays was lit with this and Are You Being Served.
I loved Saturdays on PBS! And as much as I adored Hyacinth, I was enthralled with Mrs slocomb's pussy : )
We had this, Are You Being Served?, and Mr. Bean. So funny.
@@chrisrush3513 Loved that 3 wheel car he drove!
On PBS KCET Ch 28 in California, Keeping Up Appearences AND As Time Goes By the best of the best both ran back to back for many years... What a shame they stopped that incredible back-to-back combination on Saturday nights.
DYLAN CHANGED EVERYTHING FOREVER 👏👏👏👏
1:48 "I hope you're wearing something sensible for this telephone call"
Homer Simpson: "Hello. You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel."
My fav British comedy of all time.
Such a brilliant actress!
Never ask young Americans, they think reality tv.s good.Adore Keeping up Appearances.Absolutely fabulous!! The best! I'm a yank& adore it!!!
I bet Patricia loved playing Hyacinth. She must have been such a fun character to play.
Loved this British comedy , a million laughs 😊
The Queen of snobs and I love the way she pulls her lips😅
1:32 I’ve always been amused at the poor old lady’s reaction. 🤣🤣
Especially not one of foreign extraction.
Oh no there goes Daddy with my Tuna Mayonaisse.
Just love these shows they're so clean and enjoyable Hyacinth is a knockout fond memories of the good old days
Guyana South America
Juliet Sattaur You did hear Hyacinth go on about men blowing their horns?
Jay Barry....yes I did thanks
Jay Barry....yes I did thanks
You can find shows that are clean and enjoyable. This show is not really clean because there are off color jokes.
Will show a one of hyacinth son ownly hear about him
Say "Goodbye" with a nautical flavor!
🤣🤣🤣🤣'did he buyyy the frisbee??' .. lol lol . 🥰🥰🥰🥰Richard .
Poor Richard. I give him props for his patience. 🤪😂
Poor Shanan
😂 Her candle like Suppers 😂
Patricia is simply amazing, as is the rest of the cast lol
She is SO awesome.
I love how she eloquently tells people off
Her main redeeming quality was you could always say her heart was in the right place and under her snobbish exterior was a good person deep down.
Patricia Routledge was a genius.
FayeIL she wasn’t the scriptwriter
She still is!!Alive and going strong and one of the nicest people in the business and always was.
DAME Patricia Routledge.
@@mikiebart6312 Dame Katherine Patricia Routledge now I'll have you know!
@@mikiebart6312 Even the outtakes there's not one I dont think swear word lol, they did have a great laugh doing that its amazing!
I grew up watching this show with my Grandmom. Whenever I hear the intro/credit music I remember her house… So nostalgic.
True Classic Comedy - Superb!
Just love her after all this time,and dear Richard,poor man
(Richard & Hyacinth paddling down the Amazon):
"Mind the pit viper, Richard." "It's on the far bank, Hyacinth!" "Well, you never know. It could spring."
The frisbee part is hilarious😂
"Yes, I know you still have good legs dear,
I just wist you didn't wave them about so much."
Hilarious that one, one of the best lines delivered, only Hyacinth can deliver a line like this.
That last one sums her up perfectly 🤣
Love these!!❤ especially about Richard with a Frisbee!!❤
I love this show!
Every time Elisabeth is there. It's bragging with "It's my sister Violet. She is the one with the big house, sauna a Mercedes and room for a pony" 😅
I do believe you're expanding deliberately. 😂😂😂
“Sometimes on sleepless nights when my head’s swimming with the responsibilities of organising another candle light supper... sometimes i wonder, did he buy the frisbee?” 😂
The perfect combination of genius writing and genius delivery !
This is literally the best British comedy 🤣
Chinese takeaway calls be the most funny parts of a episode 😂
She's brilliant😂 Adore her! ❤
Mrs Bucket cant stand snobs 🤣🤣🤣
I swear, hyacinth is the spitting image of my mother
Oh man that must be fun
Oh wow I bet it has to be an eventful life ☺☺😀😀
Oh you poor dear. I wish you patience. A lot of it. And even more.
@@thedandelion157 I learned to Smile when I am Gardening....
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same here. She reminds me of my mom it's the biggest reason I watch the show. My mother was a Saint.
RIP Richard..
She had no opportunity to see my hat
I've always felt so sorry for Richard. How he kept from killing her id beyond belief.
But in 1 episode Richard finally stood up to her by telling her to get back in the car when she was making a scene where she wanted to use the public phone booth but the guy who was using it wouldn't let her.

"what is the missionary position in China these days?"😂 BEST!
The last one got me dead.
Patricia Routledge's performances were splendid, but let's not forget the superb scripts by Roy Clarke.
Love Hyacinth lifts up the spirits of I'm feeling a little bit low.
I used to Love this show!! I wish it still came on tv.
Britbox
It does.
I love this show. She is the best!
I would absolutely love to attend one of Hyacinth's candlelight suppers!
MY, favorite was definitely * the
Chinese Take Away*.....
Hyacinth is the only Actress I know
with the upmost superb skill of
keeping her dignity while acting like, a
Complete fool.
Superb Actress& there will NEVER
be one like her.

Do I sound like a Chinese takeaway? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Richard: What's he saying?
Hyacinth: I don't know but I can feel every syllable.
I love her shes amazing i love hyasint
Grew up watching this with my grandmother. Now she’s gone and these are such happy memories 🥹
