The legend of Mrs Badcrumble.
She’s fahkin nuts!
A tale as old as time itself
"Alright, I'll learn the violin but you won't like it! I will make a bad noise!!"- never gets too old. I still laugh my head off!!!
I played the violin in middle school. My younger cousin took it up not long after. But she actually stuck with it. I have always been a much better singer than I was with any instrument not attached to my body.
I gave up flute and joined choir when it came around too.
"Piano, piano!"
"It's not a fucking piano! It's a clarin-art! You weird-talking person."
Never gets old.
I know
"The school band will now murder Oh Come All Ye Faithful" I lost it :D
saaammee X'D
Jordan Lark "Helmets will be worn for this performance"
...GO!
As a former oboe player in school I nearly died from the blowing into a weasel part 🤣🤣🤣💀
I like how Eddie pronounces "sexy tunes" like it's a brand name, as in; "101 Songs for the Weasel, by Edna Badcrumble, published by SEXITUNES © Inc."
Dead 😂
Brilliant
Edna Mode's twin sister
conductor: ... Go!
students: 🎼📯🎶🎷🎻🎵🎺🐹🔺️🥁🎶
no conducting, just "go"
funniest part, hands down.
I LOVE how you got the hamster cheeks in!
I love this entire bit, but the "...GO!!" makes me absolutely lose it every time
it really shows his brilliance that every comment here is about a different joke
So true
It's true - I want to comment on a gag no-one else mentioned!
As a small child, I actually chose the tuba. Because it was three times my size and everyone thought it was hilarious- joke's on them, because no one plays it particularly well and because I can get a clean note out, I'm in about a million orchestras.
That's awesome :D
Maddie Barraclough But u don't get to play the interesting bits
No, the only bass instrument to play interesting bits is the drums.
Not quite. It's just the old lady I imagined when Eddie started talking about Mrs. Badcrumble! She's got a tartan dress and a blue jumper & wields a clarinet.

How on Earth could anyone be so uptight as to not love this? This is great stuff!
Eddie looks fucking stunning here
Clarinet section 🖐 hands.
“The song has been arranged with no real care.” Always funny
This show was eddie on his absolute TOP form :D
Still great too.
all these years later, I still come back to THIS clip when I need to laugh.
He's the best! I do the same... When I really want a good laugh😆😆😆😂😂😂😂😆❤️
Yup... Any of Eddie’s stuff
God I love the old specials one of the best comedians ever (in my miiiind)
Wow this was great, haven't seen Eddie in awhile. Dressed To Kill one of my fave stand up specials if all time! Just beyond smart!
"True story" Eddie said it first!
An amazing comedian
A fantastic actor
The 140 people who disliked this played tuba
For some reason my whole class "learned" the play the recorder
The sounds were something out of a feverdream
the reason you never grasped: ALL kids in public schools learn to play an instrument by starting with the recorder. (duh!)
@@nowvoyagerNEAll kids learn on recorders... But WHYYYYY???? GOD, WHHYYYYY???
@@themaggattack : my, you ARE stupid. because *real* instruments are expensive.
Gotta love me some Eddie Izzard
I’m glad i get to see all him live on all his tours! He is funny af! Never a dull moment,
I thought I was going to come apart at the seams when he said "It's like trying to blow into a weasel." I believe the blast of laughter I let out may have registered on the Richter scale.
Lee Brown I laughed so hard a little pee came out!
I feel you, I had the same experience, but with an oboe
Starting out, it's like a dying duck that sits on a fire alarm
Weasel! Weasel!
As a tuba player, I can vouch for this. On the other hand, I can play a mean rendition of "The Professionals".
That, dear sir or madam, is very impressive!
I love Eddie! Still one of the best comedians EVER.
The kettle drums part is priceless haha
"Oh. My. GOD. We have spawned the devil." 😂😂😂
"WE WILL SHAG HIM AS SOON AS WE KNOW HOW!" lol XD
No matter how many times I see this, and I could recite Definite Artic!e word for word, it still makes me laugh. Every now and then, I will say 'weasel, weasel, weasel' for no reason. Try it, it's deeply amusing. You're welcome.
He knows. Fantastic Artist. He always knows what is seriously joking about. I play the clarinet. That's exactly as he says it is.
"It's piaaaaaaano. It's piaaaaaaano"
"Its not a fkn piaaaaaaano its a Clarrrrinarrrt"
As someone who learnt four instruments and hated all of it not being very good at any of them and part of a choir for 9 years as I grew up, this is possibly my favourite comedy sketch. Ever.
PS. "Weasel Weasel!"
I am like EDDIE and still a hopeless child in spirit.
All of it is sheer brilliance, but that part about the Third Part being 'all the notes left over' is SO true!
1:33 Practising:
YEEEEHYEEEEHYEEEEHYEEEEHYEEEEOHBLOODYHELL
When I was in high school we had a bagpipe band and my neighbor tried learning. It was a hideous noise for a few months, but he eventually got the hang of it.
GO!!
It's a clariNOT!
My sides are so sore-what a hoot!
No matter how many times I watch his routines, he always cracks me up!
I was 3rd clarinet too playing three notes 😊
There are two instruments worse than a clarionet: two clarionets." (sic)
- Ambrose Bierce
Stop practicing, I have a bought a hammer!
I love him, so cute and funny
I actually found my copy of A tune a day this week. 🤣😁😜
my boys are hoping to get to play instruments next year this is all I could think about lol hehehehehe
How are they getting on?
Hopefully you let them play guitar...!
@@annmitchell4663 And drums!
Anybody else want a pair of those boots?
My school band were actually good. We went on foreign tours to a different country every 2 years. And we played some large venues like the Dixieland festival, I think it was that one, in Germany.
Damn
I literally lol every time I see this bit....the kettle drum part is priceless !! I fricken love Eddie !
we must dance provocatively ha ha
I can concur as a child forced to learn clarinet because my eldest sister couldn't as my parents couldn't afford the lessons at the time for her.
I wanted to learn tap dancing
Ten years old. Music lessons offered at my school. So, of course, I desperately wanted to play the violin (so romantic?? lol). My parents, both accomplished musicians themselves, said, "No, the violin is far too difficult. It's tenor sax or nothing."
whut? nooo
Well, that sax+case weighed more than I did. So, on "music days," my best friend and I used it as a "bench" while we waited for the school bus.
Right up until I quit those lessons.
Mmmhm...in the third torturous month.
Ah, memories!
When I was in middle school I found a couple of your videos! My friends and I would do the show at school and every where! Now I’m finding amazing ones still to this day lol greatness
I went to the same primary school as Eddie izzard and I think that we all came out slightly odd, xx
I love the clarinet
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Eddy..., my FAVOURITE for ever!!!! Eva, Belgium
The timpani bit... That was so accurate...
His clarinet noises are so wonderful haha
I died at 6:00
"Piarno, Piarno"
"It's not a fuckin Piarno, its a Clarin-art!"
"A Tune a Day" ?! OMG I remember that! Pale blue A4 book. Mine was for the piano tho. Still not at all sexy.
A Tune a Day for trombone - Mum said it sounded like a dying cow when I practised 😂
I picked up playing flute in high school and still play many moons later. And this bit had me just dying! 🤣🤣🤣⚰️
Genius
brilliant
Great stuff
He looks like a cross between Caesar Romero as The Joker and Liza Minnelli.
enjoying his autobiography very much .... amazing bloke/lady. Whatever mode he's in.
clarinart- crying by now
"Stop practicing! You sound crap! I bought a hammer! You may borrow it if you wish!" I'm dead!
This is amazing.
I can relate to this....first recorder, then violin and at the end french horn. I was shit with all of them. But I turned out to be a fantastic engineer. So really happy.
Love that jacket.
My dad believed in learning an instrument.. he got me a saxophone, which was so loud my dad ended up stuffing it with socks
'it's not a piar-no it's a clar-in-art!' HAHA
It strikes me that Eddie is some kind of a British Robin Williams. 😂
"Well, I don't want to learn!! I want to go out and smash things with hammers!!"
Thank You. Pleased to meet you.
True story.
I play the trombone and as he did not roast it I now have the legal right to say it’s better than all the rest thank you for coming to my ted talk
The Auto subtitles writing out gnome brochure made this even better
Love Mrs Badcrumble
"I know, I'll get their parents to listen to this and then maybe they'll kill 'em." 😂😂 As a parent I can testify to the truth of this. School bands are painful.
Ahh man, back when Eddie Izzard was good!
I fucking love playing the tuba :3
The oboe.....trying to blow into a weasel 😂🤣🤣
Loving the pants
eddie is so funny, he reminds me of kid playing with imaginary characters. the acted out call and response is hilarious, and it's always mixed with factual material that's easily relatable.
True Story
i am in fits of laughter!!
I spat tea all over my posh jeans bcoz I was laughing so loudly... kill me...
You know, I never actually became a decent player of the trumpet until my last year playing in the school band.
Just a brilliant take on middle school
Oh its a fuckin Eiffel tower
Always wanted to play the Cello, i got to play a flute, and I was crap on top of that.
+Gustav Hagberg What is up with that, by the way? It's a miracle if we're interested in music to begin with, let us play the instruments we're interested in!
Apparently you had to play the flute for a year before you could choose another one or some shit. Turned me off from orchaestral music until my late teens
+Gustav Hagberg And they wonder why kids drop out of music.
'You weird talking person!'
I use that against people all the time :P
Eddie I play clarinet! It's an amazing instrument 💜
This is my life...
"Where's your fucking triangle!?"
"Oh grow up."
😄
Its like blowing into a weasel....
hahahahahahaha
pmsl mrs badcrumble still funny
I decided I was going to play the fiddle. I borrowed one just to see what it was like first. Watched a couple You Tube videos and went on my porch to practise. I thought my dog would probably howl but she just went and laid on the other end of the porch. After about 15 minutes she came and sat in front of me and just sat there looking at me. I could hear her thinking, "Oh for fuck sake, it doesn't take that long to kill a cat."
L o L !!
