Liza Minelli once went to a gay bar full of drag queens. Entering the ladies' room, one drag queen was putting on lipstick, saw her from the corner of his eyes and dryly said, "Keep trying, honey"
@@laurih.t.8723 oh absolutely, Patsy = UK version of Karen Walker :) Karen was always my number 1 sitcom character ever and now that spot is seriously challenged! I guess they can share the number 1 place ua-cam.com/video/XAF4Csc1BMg/v-deo.html
it depends on ur idea of humour. if u prefer watching people just dancing around with funny faces and costumes, and screaming for no reason just to add a comic effect then of course u will like these. but i prefer actual wit and humour in words and dialogues, like seen in 'Man about the house'
After the very first read through of Ab Fab, Joanna Lumley called her agent and asked them to get her out of the contract. Joanna felt that she was terrible in the read and that Jennifer Saunders hated her. Her agent told her to stick it out because “it’s just a pilot”. I love that story because it’s a helpful reminder that even someone with the comedic brilliance of Joanna Lumley who created one of the greatest characters in television history goes through periods of self doubt and inadequacy. Thank goodness she stuck it out!
Some of my favorite episodes. Anyone remember the house fire that Patsy slept through in the kitchen. When she woke up, half of her covered in soot, I almost piddled on myself from laughing so hard. Me and the hubby loved this show!
Yes I do, she was face down on the kitchen table with her hair looking like jackdaw nest !!!!.. hilarious.. loved this program, i I. Fact I still quote Eddy to my daughter..”help mummy “ !!!!.
As iconic as Patsy is, there would be no Patsy without Jennifer Saunders. I have seen all of this so many times and only gets better. This should be prescribed by doctors as an antidepressant!
Those were all Jennifer Saunders’ writings. The series came partly out of a “French & Saunders” skit (Jennifer as Edina, Dawn as Saffy), and partly out of a Ruby Wax episode where she broke into Joanna Lumley’s house (climbed up the drainpipe, as I recall) and found she had become a decrepit, alcoholic recluse since her young hawt-babe days. You see Ruby credited as “Script Editor”, so I guess she had some input to the writing, too.
DREAM SAFFY: _"Yeah, I'm just going to bum around Europe... Experimenting with drugs. At least as long as it's fashionable..."_ Gotta watch that episode again and see if I have that right...
@@puirYorickit actually is Helena Bonham Carter playing Saffy. I remember the scene and remember a famous female rock star 🎸🎤playing a nurse singing 'can the can' and 'devil gate drive' although I don't remember her name. Alan Rickman (R.I.P.) was playing Saffy's father Justin and the Australian 🇦🇺🌏🦘feminist author Germaine Greer was playing Eddy's mother. For some unknown reason Lady Penelope from Thunderbirds was there too voiced by the same woman who voiced her in Thunderbirds TV show.
@@tomspence8506 Read what we all actually said. The stuff you're describing happened in another episode. Both of us have referenced that fact already in the exchange - 4 years ago. Cheers!
Best line out of Patsy is .... “If models get in younger in a few years they will just be rolling fetuses down the catwalk.Chucking them one after the other.”
“If you wanna talk bullocks and discover the meaning of life you’re better off downing a bottle of whiskey. At least you’re unconscious before you take yourself seriously.”
I did love the clip where patsy said that the hadn’t eaten anything since 1969 … the Edina reminds her about “that crisp” the timing and Patsy’s expression was HILARIOUS!
Patsy Stone she has the coolest lifestyle, she cares nothing, except coke, champagne, shopping, having fun and she always manages to save money because the last time she eats it is in 1972 since it's just liquid meals😆🤣 Patsy Stone my hero for eternity💙
@@atklm1 what the hell are doing here? go back to your boring life, if you don't understand patsy stone it's a character ans not a real person, it's just humor, but by the way your talk I can say you're lack of it ! You're boring to tears!
@@atklm1 Point is they were making a comedy not a documentary and exaggeration is a principle element of comedy. It's like Beavis and Butt-head: no kid was ever dumb enough to actually stick a pencil a friend's eye because he watched it done on TV, though some people thought it was going to happen.
Joshua Splawn He has a point. One can only take so much of this ludicrous show. Just as in real life, drunkards and addicts repeat themselves and make the same idiotic mistakes over & over again. It’s not funny after the 5th or 6th EPISODE, let alone season. I’m guessing continuing to watch this show for much longer than that would probably be about as much fun as the parties to which you’re referring. Snore. I’m happy for the actors’ & writers’ success. They’re all multi-faceted, talented performers. But good God, a few episodes is plenty, thank you very much!
I absolutely love this show. I fell in love with these witches. They were the best biaches ever! I have watched the reruns over and over and they have never gotten old. They are so timeless and hysterical🥰🥰
The Patsy character is funny because it's a parody. A parody of an AWFUL, feckin' terrible, horrible, wretched person. You'd really want to be like that?
When I was around fourteen, I stumbled across Absolutely Fabulous, in the dead of night, while spending the weekend at my father and stepmother's house. They had a lot of channels that were unknown to me at the time, since the had satellite instead of cable. I had become rather disillusioned with the satellite service once I discovered that even with hundreds of channels, there still seemed to be nothing on worth watching late at night. Within a matter of minutes I realized that I had something new to fanboy over! Despite being extremely, fanatically anti-alcohol and anti-drug, I found Patsy and Eddie to be absolutely delightful! One of my favorite moments in the series was when Patsy was unable to remember her real age! It became just slightly less funny after the same thing happened to me a few years ago! It is a good example of knowing when it's high time to end a bender/binge! And now, many years later than I care to think about, Absolutely Fabulous remains one of the only shows, ever, that I still love just as much as when it was still new to me! I wish that they would commit to a few more seasons! While I can think of numerous duos that would have been better role models for my sister and I, none of them are nearly as fun! Cheers sweetie darlings!!! 😘
The relationship between Patsy and Saffie has to be the highlight of this series... They both hate each other with a passion but both deathly afraid of the other.
@@justschr He's just a random autistic guy who has got on a "I'm going to hate Ab Fab because it will make me look edgy" rhythm, he's posted like 10 comments, don't worry about him.
American here...I wish I could remember when I discovered AbFab. It was years ago. I honestly cannot remember one plot of even one episode, because I spent the entire time laughing hysterically!!!
What happened to the line where Edina tells Saffy that she knew she loved her the moment she first saw her (I can't remember the exact set-up), and Patsy says, "However, the day after..."? For shame!
There are certain programs that stand out for their brilliance and this program is one of them. Just a shame the modern sitcom doesn't measure up in today's world.
My favorite moment wasn’t a line. It was Safi saying “it comes back,” and the swing knocking Patsy down. I’ve thought about that so many times since I was a kid.
If you've seen her documentaries, you will know what an adorable person Joanna can be. But the disturbing thing is that Patsy is lurking just below the surface! It also makes me wonder what the REAL Joanna Lumley is like. I think we only see what she wants us to see. An enigma.
I'm reminded of something actress Damaris Hayman once said about genuinely good people are the best at playing monstrous characters as they aren't afraid that there's any of that character in them.
I think Ruby Wax has to take the -blame- credit for bringing out that side of Lumley. Ruby had a show where Joanna was supposed to have a regular spot as a chef, but she spent more time moaning about the wreckage of her personal life (as a former celebrity) than actually cooking anything. It was hilarious. And I think also a form of preparation for what became Patsy.
I'd been watching this , for quite a while, starring Miss Joanna Lumley , ...then Lo and Behold, she was cast as one of the Wicked Aunties in " James and the Giant Peach " in 1996. I recognized her straight away, and other people were asking themselves " who she was ". .... she was perfectly cast for that Role. ... I don't know if people realize she's been in many movies, including Wolf of Wall Street ; Ella Enchanted , as well as " Absolutely Fabulous ", the Movie in 2016. She's had a long career, I even saw her on " Are you Being Served " ... ( I think she might have been married to Jeremy Lloyd at the time, not sure .) She's very talented, playing one of the most humorous and great Roles in this Show .... I'm glad she is still gracing the Earthly Plane . Of course, Jennifer Saunders was given a Role that suited her, as well.... so talented, the both of them.
I can’t believe you missed out my favourite ever line from the Isotank episode regarding the Romanian babies: “Just sell ‘em on. Mark ‘em up, sell ‘em on” gets me every time I see it.
It's missing two of my favourite Patsy moments. During the morning show episode with Dawn French: "And later we'll be speaking to our Sports Personality Of The Year..." "... a contradiction in terms..." And in the car with Eddie (not sure of the episode): "What's your star sign?" "Aqua Libra." "It says Uranus is in a good position this year." "I'll be the judge of that."
Patsy's best line ever was, when they found Eddie's dead father hidden in the room with all the paintings: Eddie, "It's my father!" Patsy, "Yes, Eddie. But is it art?"
Had she not taken part in children in need we wouldn''t have known how fabulously funny joanna is. Ab fab 1 of our best tv comedies. Thanks for posting 🤣
@Lord Debrick - beat me to it! In my early teens I had such a crush on Patsy and secretly hoped to marry someone with her looks / style (if not her temperament and vices).
Somehow, I prefer the award winning, exceptionally talented actress Joanna Lumley delivering these brilliantly written lines rather than just re-reading them seconds later by people that have literally copied them underneath and wrongly assuming I’ve got amnesia.
Now there is a real woman of the world and so stunning .Wish we had more of this genre of comedy today .Role playing in comedy its so hard to it perfectly as Joanna does .A true pro at top of her game.
@@ronnie7075 Indeed she is, I was hoping to not incur the wrath of one who is professionally offended by the use of masculine or feminine pronouns. LOLZ. Seriously, I wanna give her a hug!!!
I've been watching Jennifer Saunders since she was in "The Young Ones" with her future/now husband, "Adrian Edmondson aka Vivian." Then The Young Ones pointed me in the "Absolutely Fabulous" direction. I watched AbFab as it debuted. May Patsy Stone & Edina Monsoon live forever!
So happy that someone has finally done Patsy on Snatch Game! I always thought it would be Katya (because let's be real, Patsy is pretty much her entire aesthetic), but Viv did a good job with her! Maybe she'll become a repeat Snatch Game character in the future.
Someone told me a few months ago that AbFab “hasn’t aged well” - that it’s “problematic” *All comedy is problematic. That’s the point. The humor is *in the problem!
Phah, to those people everything is "Problematic". They haven't got enough genuine problems in their lives so they go around finding problems in the things that other people enjoy to forget _their_ genuune problems. If that makes sense.
Fishfarm from series 4 had the best first 10 minutes. The part when Patsy says the part about time being like an elastic band. Or when she said that rockers should die with a needle in their arm, not a hook in a trout. Best one line "she tried to crowd surf, but the tide went out". 😂😂😂😂
Favorite line?
'Worst eight hours of my life' and 'I'm not wearing any panties'.
"Abort Abort Abort!!! I said chuck it down the pan...

Had she not taken part in children in need we wouldn''t have known how fabulously funny joanna is. Ab fab 1 of our best tv comedies. Thanks for posting 🤣
I love the small opening episode where they are watching the play and Patsynis screaming out like that
These bits are absolutely fabulous!
Patsy is a knockout diva... She is feckin gorgeous!
@Lord Debrick - beat me to it! In my early teens I had such a crush on Patsy and secretly hoped to marry someone with her looks / style (if not her temperament and vices).
@@edwardcatt2399 her looks , sure. but really nothing else
@@BlokeBritish Nobody cares what you think. I'm assuming in real life as well as on UA-cam
She was a Bond girl.
I had no business watching this show when I was younger 😩🤣🤣🤣
Patsy is my spirit animal!
ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS‼️ PERIOD. 💚😂💙
Somehow, I prefer the award winning, exceptionally talented actress Joanna Lumley delivering these brilliantly written lines rather than just re-reading them seconds later by people that have literally copied them underneath and wrongly assuming I’ve got amnesia.
Manufan, that comment is worthy of Patsy Stone.

That’s because I was pissed when I wrote it. 😉
People are just saying what their favourite quotes are, don't worry about it.
Love this show. Used to watch it with my Mom. RIP Mom😢
I LOVE patsy on this show lol or any show for that matter! 😊 wonderful actresses both of them. i wish they would bring AbFab back!
Now there is a real woman of the world and so stunning .Wish we had more of this genre of comedy today .Role playing in comedy its so hard to it perfectly as Joanna does .A true pro at top of her game.
Genius acting and lines
I’ll bet Joanna Lumley is the sweetest and most wholesome person in real life.
Joanna does a travel series. Sorry can't remember the name of it.
Anyway Joanna is a LADY. Where as Pats is not.
@@ronnie7075 Indeed she is, I was hoping to not incur the wrath of one who is professionally offended by the use of masculine or feminine pronouns. LOLZ. Seriously, I wanna give her a hug!!!
I miss this show. Loved it🤣
Priceless and unbeatable!
They should release a dvd with only episodes where Patsy is featured 80-90% of the time. Simply fabulous
Joanna is so amazing
Nah, ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS
She’s that one that turned you into this POTATO that you see before you!? I’m fucking dead 😂😂😂
My spirit animal. PATSY STONE. GODDESS.
Best show *_EVER!_*
I've been watching Jennifer Saunders since she was in "The Young Ones" with her future/now husband, "Adrian Edmondson aka Vivian." Then The Young Ones pointed me in the "Absolutely Fabulous" direction. I watched AbFab as it debuted. May Patsy Stone & Edina Monsoon live forever!
Edie: to Saffy about her birth: I knew I wanted you the moment I saw you.
Patsy: The NEXT day however.
You really messed up all of that 😂
- From the moment you were born I knew I wanted you.
- HOWEVER, THE DAY AFTER.
Patsy Stone is such a mood.
Great deliveries every time. ❤
So happy that someone has finally done Patsy on Snatch Game! I always thought it would be Katya (because let's be real, Patsy is pretty much her entire aesthetic), but Viv did a good job with her! Maybe she'll become a repeat Snatch Game character in the future.
"A knitting needle!!!" 😂
What was the ep where she briefly appeared as Purdey? I died laughing at that bit. 😄
"Sell it off. Mark it up... and sell it off..."
(When Eddie said
"What am I going to do with a Romanian baby?")
From Philadelphia and Patsy & Edina are Goddesses! I miss the show so much. ✌🏼
Someone told me a few months ago that AbFab “hasn’t aged well” - that it’s “problematic”
*All comedy is problematic. That’s the point. The humor is *in the problem!
Phah, to those people everything is "Problematic". They haven't got enough genuine problems in their lives so they go around finding problems in the things that other people enjoy to forget _their_ genuune problems.
If that makes sense.
Fishfarm from series 4 had the best first 10 minutes. The part when Patsy says the part about time being like an elastic band. Or when she said that rockers should die with a needle in their arm, not a hook in a trout.
Best one line "she tried to crowd surf, but the tide went out". 😂😂😂😂
Water. It's a mixer Patsy. We have it with whiskey.😂
I dedicate this to my friend and mentor Vita soul RIP! We were like these two. And just didn't care. Holland USA
Thanks for showing just a few of Patsy's stuff. A cougar with a sharp wit, and is easy on the eyes.
sharp wit ?
gimme one example of sharp wit in this show and what do u mean by 'Sharp wit'
@@BlokeBritish You spent a lot of time commenting about a programme you don't like.
joanna was a model IRL. Actual fact!
Patsy is so cool!! Great one liners.funny old gal lol
Pats is my spirit animal
