- The full run of Hugh sketches from The Armando Iannucci Shows. Each week, Armando would gently cajole Hugh into reminiscing about his past.
Sadly, Hugh - full name Hugh Cecil - passed away on February 11, 2004. Goodbye, Hugh.
"It was called jungle then, not drum and bass" Quality haha
Armando Iannucci is a genius
A work of sheer genius...
'in those days the internet was in black and white, it was only on for 3 hours a day...we used to get dressed up in our sunday best to log on to it'
It was, I remember it well
17 years later and I'm still laughing at this sketch
RIP Hugh (1913-2004) Absolute legend.
my favourites:
"You couldn't just jump into bed with a lady back then. You'd go along to her house and ask her parents if you could knock her up, and get her on crack."
"We never had Feng Shui in those days, so we put all our cupboards in the wrong place, and as a result all our businesses went bust. And that was the start of the great depression."
cheeseburgers were a penny then...
"Chris Evans...till he disappeared up his own arse" about frigging right!
Twice.
For an old boy he knows how to memorise a script.
There's one missing?
"Concordes! They were great planes! We used to call them "Cracked tubes of death!"
I think it was cut out of the C4 showing coming so soon after the first ever (and last) Concorde crash but it's on the DVD..
Well spotted.
His demeanor and accent is just perfect
I particularly like the idea of a coin with Jabba the Hutt on one side and Queen Victoria on the other... I'm told Doctor Who has one...
Jesus I still piss myself at this, I've watched it dozens of times "We'd sing peter Andre songs and show off our pecs"
R.I.P Hugh
Iannucci... " I suppose it was very exciting in the Old Days, when new things came out..."
Love those dead-pan, polite,questions... the TONE and content is great!
Just magnificent. RIP Hugh.
reminds me of the brass eye sketch about theft, the old woman remembering that "back in the old days locks were made of a sort of....paper"
Today I listened to a radio interview on the D Day celebrations & there was a chap speaking who sounded exactly like Hugh. Every single word!
i can't stop watching this
"1942 was my gap year" pure genius
Divine isn’t it
1942 was my gap-year. Quality!
I've suggested the armando iannucci shows to every American reactor I can find on here, because its so good and underrated. Still no ones picked it up unfortunately 😕
Village sniper
Haven't laughed so much in years. Absolutely brilliant character that Hugh. Too many classics in there to mention.
...you would take her along to a Junglist Mash-Up.
It was called Jungle then, not Drum and Bass, that came later.
Thanks a lot for compiling these MisterSix. This was unforgettable comedy!
Cheers MisterSix! These sketches are absolutely brilliant, now I can email this to all my friends. Every day.
brilliant
For the love of all things sacred, do not scroll down below this comment.
Hugh Smells of memories..
Hugh Cecil can also be seen in the background in several episodes of Dad's Army and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
i love my grandad
The internet was in black and white - spat my bear out.
Damn I was here seven years ago.... just saw my old comment
The big question being : why did you have a bear in your mouth?
@@shugmchugh5107 And 6 years later someone finally corrects me on my spelling gaff 😂
@@ArcanePath360 I preferred life when I thought you had a bear in your mouth
I've seen this tons of times but never noticed the 'Lily Savage and Kirsty Young' joke. Lmao.
Absolute Genius..
Absolute class!
10 on 10
I LOVE his hat.
it was jungle then, not drum and bass, that came later
Hugh was in The Rocky Horror Picture Show!
And if they said yes, you'd take her along to a Junglist mash-up. It was called Jungle then, not Drum 'n' Bass; that came later.
Good work, MisterSix. Aaah . . . but what about, "Well, we never had feng shui in those days, so we put all our cupboards in the wrong place. As a result, all our businesses went bust. That was the start of the Great Depression."?
"my mother would make some sushi out of corned beef" hahahahahaha
Because he'd been getting shot at a wall three times a week in that episode.
speechless
"Oh Hello Hugh.. I was just wondering if we are all drowing in Porn" -- Laugh time.. 2 minutes at least... some barking noises.
This is the level of elder wisdom that I aspire.
"Back then the internet was black and white"
hello hugh!!
He wrote The Day Today / Brass Eye!
Maybe he's remembering lines! If you can believe that.
I wonder how Hugh is doing now
0:37 Those early computers.
Oh... I thought it was Uncle Junior on the thumbnail.
This isn't taking the piss out of old people: it's not as if this guy really thinks those things, I'd wager there's no-one in the entire world who actually thinks anything like what Hugh says is true.. This is scripted. It simply portrays an articulate, interesting, funny, intelligent old man and an excellent actor. I called you an idiot because you are the one belittling the aged- you would deprive us of 'Hugh's' fine performance. P.S. I don't know what subscribers are.
amazing what wiki can tell you but lets get back to the upright base video and how sad it is to watch one on the internet,whats your take on this i need your feed back please?
As aforementioned, it's called a bass. What exactly about it offends you so much? I'll relay your creative suggestions to the person who made it. What have you made recently, apart from a fool of yourself?
whys the talk show dudes face all messed up in like 3:30-3:40?
Gotta love Hugh!
one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success....so we all celebrated by killing an ostrich.
thought so...
Gas masks and a pound of tripe :) those were the days.
@pstm1 I know.
corned beef sushi
in those days the internet was black and white.... lol! ...(actually black and green?) :-P
I wonder how old Hugh really is?!?
I remember when Britain still had mostly Britons living here!
Had to finish with that eh?
Still does
"Some quote from the clips we just watched which I hope will make me incredibly popular and get the most likes." Sigh.
not drum and bass, tat came later
jabba the hutt lol
bass plural of bass (Noun)
Noun
A voice, instrument, or sound of the lowest range, in particular.
The common European freshwater perch.
It's a same Iannucci went woke. One of the best comedy writers of a generation.
Waaaaaaah
When you work out what you are talking about let us all know.
lmao cardboard upright base video's lol come on man get outta here haha
wait until your in your care home lol and your 3 subscriber friends lmao billy no mates ha
You really should not be allowed access to the Internet with your half-baked ideals of comedy and what is offensive. Please leave the web. Your view is more offensive by far.
"It was very different...we never had sushi, I mean we had to improvise; so we would go to the fish shop and used to say 'don't bother frying it', or my mother used to make sushi out of corned beef".
@filmnet it makes absolutely no difference to me whether he was or he wasn't. he wass an extremely old man who played it perfectly
@panasonicyouth1985 arse
Hugh threw the brick that started the riot in the young ones.
I'm literally going to have to find that now
I know this already.
I've just found it out.
brilliant
i love the way he says "junglist mash-up"
Timeless - and it gets more relevant the older I get! 'Someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success. So we all celebrated by running out and killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit'
brilliant
This is becoming real.
Hugh smells of memories
I remember when it was still Jungle :'( Those were the days !
Yeah proper dark, old school and hardcore stuff, before the polo-neck wearing, trendy, Hoxton set took over and made it all “conceptual” and “ambient” and lame sounding.
It's a little bit scary seeing comments posted 18 years ago. That's my entire life up to now
Haha bloody brilliant
Wasn't there a Feng Shui one where he said people putting their boxes in the wrong places made their businesses go bust?
"hugh smells of memories" pahahaha
haha, how come he had blood on his face just randomly?
Hope man's still alive he was well funny
According to video description, he passed away in 2004.
"Turn all of the lights our and chew polystyrene" Bahahahahaha bloody brilliant !!
order a gas mask and a pound of tripe lmao
Hugh - a legend.
Isn't there another one where he talks about going everywhere by concorde?
We called them 'cracked tubes of death'
As aforementioned, it's called a bass. What exactly about it bothers you so much? I'll pass on your tips on creativity to the person who made the bass. What have you made recently? Apart from a fool of yourself.
@penchanskii I think I recently saw him in the 'audience' as an extra in 'The All New Alexei Sayle Show' show from '94. It's quite hard to tell if it's him but probably is... pointless info or what :)
Huzzah, well said. Hugh Cecil was a superb comedy actor for many decades. I think you're right about it being profound in all of those ways. It'd be a disservice to older people to treat them like they have no bloody awareness, that they always have to be stoic and defiant. They're people, not another species. Stories make the news because they're the exception not the norm. No less disgusting, but I think you'll find there's more repsect than the Daily Mail narrative likes to present Whitney...
in the episode that that part of the clip comes from Armando had been beaten up i think...
the internet was in black and white and only on 3 hours per day. ha ha
he was very good...
until he dissapeared up his own arse!
GOLD!!!
its the upright cardboard base king bling bling baby bling bling!
Classic - Thanks for the compilation
ahahaha gap year
So, by your logic, we can never ever show old people having a laugh, they can only be filmed if they are in 'profound' scenarios. No old people in comedy. Do you cry out in indignant rage when ever Last Of The Summer Wine comes on. Further more, even if I agree with your old people/profound material rule, this is still okay because I think it is profoundly: profoundly inventive, profoundly imaginative, profoundly interesting, profoundly fun and it challenges our preconceptions.
Junglist Mash-up!
