I loved Spike's running gag of leaving the tags from the prop department on all the costumes.
In case you missed it snowing on him and being very cold "By morning thou could strike matches on them" Them being his shrivelled up bollocks caused by the cold😂
Thankyou ! After listening to that bit again I was still thinking what the ... !
I'm a massive fan of Spike Milligan and I've loved the Goon shows since being a kid. Love your videos too. Keep them coming. All the best from Yorkshire, UK.
I met him in a pub beer garden in Eastbourne once in the late 90s. I thanked him for making us laugh, and I had recently seen him receiving an award, which he chuckled at.
I recommend you watch 'spikes lifetime achievement award' speech. It's possibly his last great tv comedy genius moment, and the laughter at one particular joke is quite literally, 'a show stopper'. Bless him.
My mum was taking a walk around Beachy Head (south coast white cliffs near Eastbourne) while Spike was filming a scene. She heard him say that it was the most fun he’d had for a long time throwing an old woman off a cliff with everyone laughing. 😂
'An Evening with Spike Mlligan ' is well worth a watch which was a performance later in his life i play it often . I was performed in front of an audience of celebrities which included his old Goons mate Harry Secombe plus a German ex paratrooper who tried to shoot him during the war so Spike asked him out for a meal....of course he did that's Spike.
Since being a young teen I have been a great fan of poetry and this is all down to receiving Spike's poetry anthology A Little Pot Boiler as a gift. A silly little book like that was my gateway to a wonderful world of poetry appreciation and I can still recite many of those verses word for word.
Some of Spikes funniest interactions are when he appears on interview shows. There's no telling in what direction he's going to go. The stuff he comes out with is amazing.
Don't remember seeing this sermon piece before. It's typical spike, but reminded me a bit of Ronnie Barker doing similar stuff. Enjoyed it.
If you want a real laugh, get hold of Soike's war time autobiographyis. They are quite brilliant.
Treat yourself to the audiobooks of his autobiographies - Spike reading his own books is something to hear - he sings, laughs, sometimes cries as he relives the war time friendships, jokes, losses etc.
"And in the morning, thou could'st strike matches on them"!!
(Frozen bollocks!) 🤣
if you get the chance, read Spike's war memoirs. they start with him as a gunner in the Royal Artillery, his service in North Africa and how he got wounded during the fighting in Italy (which gave him PTSD) and how along the way he started a jazz band then a concert party which was the precursor to the Goons
I was lucky enough to see Spike live in Johannesburg back in the 80's, bloody hilarious, especially when he cracks up as well. Nice one Squirrel! (Older Brits will get that reference)
What show as he doing in Johannesburg?
@@papalaz4444244 I can't remember what the show was called, but it was just Spike telling stories. Brilliant stuff.
"Nice one Squirrel" - yup, I'm old enough to remember the bread advert and the Cockerel Chorus.
@@cousinjack2841 sure
"Nice one, son!"
He was a comic genius of his time, brilliant in the telliegoons with Michael bBentine and Harry Secombe.
These days, Spike's military trauma would lead to a diagnosis of PTSD and some serious long-term therapy. It was painful for him, but a blessing for us, that his mental suffering encouraged him to create humour that has stood the test of time and has been a huge influence on British comedy.
I love Spike, but I am not sure his blackface Hitler has stood the test of time...
The labels are said to be a protest by Spike against the head of the wardrobe department, who was said to be a bit of a 'jobsworth' and demanded that every costume and accessory was accounted for. So Spike left them on a even added more.
Spike's ace 👍❤️🏴
Verily I say unto you Squirrel...I enjoyed this. 😃
Legend! 🏴
You're getting more British every week! Well done!! This stuff is so far ahead of SNL!!!
Spike had on his tomb stone the inscription "I told you I was ill"
He has on his headstone " I told you I was ill " that was what he always said he'd have on it, and yes his bipolar was well documented, he'd talk about it publicly
You can’t beat a bit of Spike.
Ronnie Barker did a very similar thing, using Rhyming-Slang, about a small brown 'Richard the third'!!
Depending on whether your imagination thinks he means 'turd' or 'bird', will determine how much you enjoy the sketch!!
It's a classic funny, from the legendary Ronnie
The man was a genius.
I did enjoy it, Squirrel, muchly so! Spike is my all-time favourite comedian, he was just so original (which is hard to tell in retrospect because so many have copied, or been "inspired" by him - such as Monty Python - that he looks run-of-the-mill today, a bit like the guy who went to see Hamlet and said "it was rubbish, it was just full of cliches") - there's no-one quite as original as Spike. They say genius is close to madness. This guy proved it.
At the beginning the vicar says the third Sunday after pontefract. Pontefract is a town in West Yorkshire
Spike was either a comic genius or completely off his head, or perhaps both.
Spike wrote a poem for the lonely it went like this hello that was it
More of Spike please, check ouy his series Q. It is brill!
Spike was in the Army in WW2, and one day he approached his Sergeant asking him for a new uniform. The Sergeant screamed at him "Why Milligan, what's wrong with the one you've got?" Spike answered "Oh nothing Sarge, it's the Germans, they keep shooting at it it."
Thank you 💕🤣
We all loved Spike and Peter Sellers from the Goon Show. Prince Charles was a fan of the show from an early age so watch the clip of Spike at an awards show where he takes the piss out of Charles! And watch Spike's comedy series 'Q'
He was brilliant.
pssed as a newt - (most likely) In the royal navy, lower ranks were called 'newts' and were probably not used to rum rations :)
No. I don't know either, why we say that drunk people are "as pissed as a newt". 😄
You've clearly never partied with a newt !
Spike did a track called 'Ning Nang Nong', but it's Parlophone/EMI, so it might not be allowed...
It's on youtube: ua-cam.com/video/szz14WWlo5A/v-deo.html
Also, the Ying Tong Song: ua-cam.com/video/g2Xfiw0sEcY/v-deo.html
@@philipr1567 thanks...
Spike was a wonderful caring soul living through his issues of mental issues who financed restoration of The Elfin Oak in Kensington Gardens that is a story of its own. He lived through being a soldier to grow as a comedian with a family he loved as life as the Elfin Oak her personally helped to restore repainting parts of it himself. A very complicated haunted loving man
With bi polar who was magnificent on his best days
The Elfin Oak is a 900 year old tree 🌳 that has carvings of mischievous elfs in Kensington Gardens in London unfortunately is now locked away behind a cage to protect it from idiots
If you can find a copy, Spike did a version of The Old Testament.
And God said “let there be light” and there was light and God saw that it was good.
Then he saw his electric bill and it was not good
for many years he was referred to as Spike Milligna the well known typing error all his own invention of course the "registration number RU12 translates to are you 'one' too an early jab at Gays
got to see First Irish Rocket To The Moon
You should check out Spikes 100 m standing still race
Oh Mr D H Squirrel! Please react to Spike in Mr and Mrs AAARRRGH at the Doctors!
Hey Squirrel, I enjoyed that, don`t think I had seen it before. For some more of the Goons try :- (The Goon Show: The Whistling Spy Enigma ) although it is 26 mins 22 secs long. :) For some other `60`s comedy try :- (Peter Cook And Dudley Moore - The Missing Sketches - C4 Documentary 2016 but be warned it`s 47 mins 30 secs long. :)
COMMENT 1
Have you seen Spike's famous speech on the inaugural British Comedy Awards? (Or the uncensored version of Julian Clary's speech).
COMMENT 2
*Number-plate RU12 - "are you one [a homosexual], too?";
* There was an earlier version of the sketch in which passers-by saw the robbed man and sayeth unto themselves "he must be Brahms & Liszt, therefore they speaketh not, nor dialleth 9-9-9";
* Watching this roused some dormant memories/grievances:
It's true that many police/magistrates impose stiff fines for outdoor urination, but speaking as one who's been rough-living-homeless, more than once, I know that many towns have "unofficial pissoirs" where you can get away with it - a necessity because so few towns nowadays have 24-hour toilets. (Those used to be widespread but, because homeless people use them overnight as places to warm up and/or sleep, councils started shutting them down as part of the criminalisation of "vagrancy" that comes with gentrification)
Please consider watching 'Idiot Scouts' four perfect minutes of Milligan madness.
A nice bit of schoolboy smut with the donkey (better not call it by the name he gave it in case I'm censored) having the registration number RU12 (are you one too?)! Anyway, for an example of Spike displaying outrageous politically incorrectness, bad taste and national stereotypes (and being falling-over funny), I recommend his take on the Eurovision Song Contest in which he does "Waiter, there's a fly in my soup" in the style of various different countries.
Read his war memoir s you will howl with laughter and at the same time get some understanding of the man
There was or might be on YT about a sexy female in under wear and bra going to a cash machine and the cash machine became very excited and got a lot of money out. so when spike went to the cash machine dressed as a police officer he thought he would try his look and striped down to the waist and only later on got arested by a police officer.
I would recommend you read his book, Adolf Hitler, My Part In His Downfall. Basically his war memoirs.
I love his story of his first meeting with Harry Secombe, I will tell it to the best of my recollection, I haven't read the book in decades...Spike was a gunner, his large artillery gun had been placed at the top of a hill, the British army was camped at the bottom of the hill. Spike fired his gun at the Germans but he hadn't put the brakes on. The huge gun weighing several tons shot backwards down the hill toward the camp with Spike in hot pursuit, the first person he saw was Harry and the following brief conversation was like something from a Goon show.
Spike..."Did you see my gun pass this way" ?
Harry..."What colour is it" ?
Spike is NOT PC. He was brought up in the 1930's in India. His colourful language would not be used nowadays.
If you want to know a lot about Spike's life, get yourself the audiobooks of his war memoirs, all read by him.
Not for people of a nervous disposition though :)
In this vid PC does not refer to political correctness but to Police Constable.
@@philipr1567 Yeah we all know that we just saw it.
Just wondering - has anyone suggested any Jethro ? Very funny Cornish comedian
His sheep stuck in a hedge is a classic.
I've never liked spike Milligan
But he was ahead of his time
Alternative comedy 20 years before alternative comedy
Spike had an undisciplined manic style that could be quite disturbing at times, but at his best he could be magnificent.
