"By removing all barriers of communication between cultures, the Babel Fish has been the cause of more and bloodier wars than anything else in history"
"There are centuries of strife" 500 years ago: "Say, my cousin wants to marry your sister" "Poor fool, he's welcome to her!" [inter-ethnic Statler and Waldorf laugh]
I'm sure I've heard the instrumental in a really strange fever dream at some point, suitably eerie if you ask me, which adds to the comedy of the lyrics and the expressions of each puppet, especially here, are so much more detailed than in the show's reboot for example. Brilliant, cheers for uploading this. I wonder why it is missing from pretty much all online lists of Spitting Image songs, considering that you'll often find 'We Were Only Following Orders' on such lists, which imo would be seen as way more offensive?
Yeah. Just like how the ‘war’ between Nazi Germans and the Jews who held an uprising in Warsaw ‘44 was just a silly little ‘war’. The most wankerish thing is trivialising all wars as stupid an pointless. Was Spartacus’s war just another conflict, no different to WW1, say?
This is the bottom line, whoever's right - Israel or Gaza Ukraine or Russia North Korea and the United States And maybe some wars in 3rd world countries nobodh heard of The mere act of killing out of anything but self defenss should is absurd

"Let's Call The Whole Thing Off"
Jesus.... how did you manage to get the clip uploaded. As ITV in the UK seem to be the the gestapo when it comes to old spitting image clips
Can't seem to upload any more unfortunately
I've a few more on my Tiktok if you want to check it out
vm.tiktok.com/ZMNaRLmFF/
And thus the lesson was not learned
Sadly true
Thanks for uploading!
Thanks for watching! 🙂
aged like fine wine...🚬
Sad but true eh?
Nothing much has really changed unfortunately.
Does anyone have ”Only obeying Orders” and ”Essex is crap” saved?
I'll be uploading Essex is Crap to my TikTok soon. Can't upload here anymore www.tiktok.com/@90stvfromvhs

I haven't got the videos... just audio uploaded.
@@hermanthetosser4219 I have Obeying Orders but unsure if I'll be able to upload. Let's see!
@@90stvfromvhsWhy?
Finding this after the Israel/Hamas thing.....some shit never changes 😬
I hear that. Nobody seems to learn...

Brilliant satires
Thanks for watching 🍿😎
Turns out a lot of the sketches you recorded were all from the same episode (S14 or 15). Can you upload a clip of Tony Blair next?
I'll throw up whatever I have. Sadly, some of the other clips I have from the same season can't go up. Will keep at it though!
@@90stvfromvhs Have you ever tried putting your VHS recordings on Google Drive or Internet Archive?
aged like wine
Yep, sadly.
This song didn't just age well, it shows how little our planet has changed. :/
Sadly quite true :-/
Of course this continues to sadly age well… 😢

Does anyone know what they mean by being boring and what it has to do with Germany?
No idea, the two germans were suppose to be nazi skinheads. Perhaps thats the only thing they could come up with that rhymes with ”Goering” 😁
@@tagekoolander seems legit
germans are boring lol
Germans are stereotyped to have no sense of humour and be modest and boring.
@@tagekoolanderAnd being serious and boring is a German stereotype
This is the bottom line, whoever's right -
Israel or Gaza
Ukraine or Russia
North Korea and the United States
And maybe some wars in 3rd world countries nobodh heard of
The mere act of killing out of anything but self defenss should is absurd
Right on dude
I think this is still valid today 😢😢
A million percent! Plus ça change 😞
Which song had the line "you'll never get a better bit of buddha on your knife" ?
It was "I've Never Met A Nice South African", and the line was about Botha, not Buddha
