RIP Ian Lavender... best line in comedy.
When this was first broadcast, I thought the line was a bit predictable and corny. Now - it just makes me laugh out loud. RIP, Mr. Lavender.
Yes, and he is best known for something he didn’t say😊
@@terrybrown4400say*?
He won’t be coming back
‘…I want plaice.’
As a German i have to say that Philip Madoc speaks fluent German with almost no accent. I first thought he would be a German actor, immigrated to the UK or hired for the skit. When i became suspicious because of the accent and so i read the comments and saw his name (and noted it). After a bit of google investigation (without any use of violence, i swear) i found out that he studied linguistic sciences on the University of Cardiff and later German and Russian in Vienna, where he got as the first foreign student a degree as translator. He spoke 7 languages (English, German, Russian, Swedish, Albanian, Hindi and Mandarin). WOW!
Also learned Huron to play Magua in a BBC production of 'Last of the Mohicans'.
And Welsh!
Clever man, I had no idea! It’s very interesting to hear from a native German speaker how well Maddox spoke the language… thank you! Dad’s Army is my favourite sitcom , I can recommend joining the Dad’s Army Appreciation Society if anyone else loves this show. 🇬🇧🇩🇪
Wow!
Being Welsh, did he not also speak Welsh too? I’m assuming he at least knew a bit…
This has been the bane of my life because my last name is Pike and whenever anyone hears it they immediately say “Don’t tell em Pike”
lol
You poor thing 😂😂😂
And you are telling us all now! I hope the irony isn't lost on you Pike!
My name's Bob and I had to endure years of people thinking they were hilarious by saying "Bob the builder?".
I worked with someone who I would call pike,but was far to young to know why,and I wouldn't tell him,one day he was told that it's a character from dad's army,so pleased as punch he tells me,but still didn't work it out....now really confused I looked at him,and yes uttered those immortal words " stupid boy"......it now dawned on him I had been taking the piss....but don't be concerned it was no more than he deserved....
RIP Pike, probably one of the funniest and memorable sketches in comedy.
That's why I'm here
Don't tell him pike.
Uncle Arthur
Laugh? I almost bought my own beer 😑
I like when Pike started singing the German officer trying not to laugh.
R.I.P. Ian Lavender and you`re not definitely not a stupid boy and I`ll definitely miss you so much.😭
"No nasty, soggy chips"
I don't know why I laughed hard at that point.
I love it later on when he collapses and one of them (can't remember which one now) goes "I expect it's those soggy chips you made him eat!" 😂
Well mainwaring made him eat those nasty, soggy chips. That's why he became ill
R.I.P Ian Lavender. This is one of the most memorable and timeless scene of all time.
Classic British comedy. No swearing or smut, just clever writing.
No Black actors and Indian women! How refreshing!
@@binagarten4667 exactly you know what's right
@@evan_harrison8156 lol
@@binagarten4667You when people exist: 🤯🤯😡😡
Grow up.
@@binagarten4667gammon.
Awesome, legendary comedy. Rest In Peace Ian Lavender!😢
The Pike part is often shown. The true masterpiece is James Beck taking the order. Philip Madoc is pure magic too. No smut no violence just sheer good writing and acting. The same goes for the great "Yes Minister".
even as a German i find this interesting.not funny though as i have no sense of humour.
still, I am always amazed that the players cold keep a straight face during this part
@@alwayspooh1588 especially the crewmen. Perhaps they were German and didn't understand English?
@@gregmichael8473 Actually, I think everyone in the episode was British! It is for me the funniest thing ever in British comedy, narrowly beating Only Fools.
Crisp unt light brown 😅
Watching this today fills me with a great sadness knowing they’re all gone :(
I've been listening to the radio re-runs on BBC R4 Extra. Good to hear them all in fine voice. Life after death.
I love that Ian Lavender is trying not to laugh after Arthur Lowe speaks the immortal words!
A great legacy for his family to know he was involved in probably in one of the iconic moments of British comedy ... Don't tell him Pike
It’s been reported that Ian Lavender died today, aged 77yrs. May he RIP and is best known his role in Dad’s Army. So another well known Actor leaves this World having brought us great humour and amusing insights in his hapless portrayal of Pike. 0:40 this line will ensure that he is certain to remain an icon of British humour for ever more
I've seen this episode dozens and dozens of times ,and I still laugh at it now.
R.I.P Ian Lavender 😢💔 Will never forget how much you made me and so many other people laugh over the years x
Nearly 50 years and this stuff just never gets old.
{:-:-:}
What I like is at 0:48, you can see the strain Philip Madoc is under as he tries not to laugh at that line!
I always loved the pettiness of this. I find the idea of them taking an order for fish and chips from the enemy hilarious. Even better that they're being so fussy about it, as if they're in a position to make demands. XD
I live in Germany its so funny bc Germans dont put vinegar on their chips and they...I mean if they werent nazis they would be all like FISH AND CHIPS YUM YUM WHICH IS BETTER COD OR PLAICE
Still going on to this day with the boat people only they get to stay in 4 star hotels, fed and clothed and are given pocket money.
That's what makes them sour krauts
@@alexmorgan3435 If you think they have it so good why don't you volunteer to swap places with one of them, I'm sure they will be extremely enthusiastic to do so.
It is not petty, the whole point is that the instinctive reaction of the bloke is to take the order treat them like human beings. He would probably fiddle the change though, a tenner was a lot of money.
One of the best pieces of comedy ever!
It's astonishing how good this is.
Couldn't agree with you more.
All brilliant but Philip Madoc steals it.
Nah Mrs. Browns boys, Fawlty towers, Father Ted, Keeping up appearances, one foot in the grave, Last of the Summer Wine and Only fools and horses is better than Dads Army
Ah you'd have to be dry as a bone to not burst yourself laughing at this! Pure comedy gold!
@@cunorobrien8420 I agree with all of them being great, except Mrs Brown's Boys has gone right down in the last few years. I prefer Killinascully myself!

UK French fishing dispute
2:00 "I vant plaice." Genius. Best ever! My dear Mum and Dad always referred to this as the 'No soggy chips' episode!😅😂🤣
Rest in Peace Private Pike.
Dad's Army was excellent and this particular episode was a gem.
Undoubtedly the most famous phrase in sitcom history.Always makes me smile and recall this fabulous cast of actors the likes of which we won't see again😂😂❤
Four Candles ?
For anyone interested what U-boat captain says to his men is "Also, wenn ich so tue als ob ich Magenschmerzen habe, sollt ihr alle aufpassen. Aufmerksam sein. Verstanden?", which roughly translates to "So if I pretend to have stomach ache you should all watch out. Pay attention. Understood?"
Thank you l was wondering what was said.
Thank you! I was actually scrolling the comments in hope that someone had translated it.
Certainly one of the funniest ever clips in comedy history from one of the funniest shows ever in comedy. As well as the classic “don’t tell him, Pike!” “Pike- thank you!”, this has so many other absolutely unforgettable lines as well, like Pike saying to Wilson “He (Captain Mainwaring) said much worse things about Hitler” and asking Wilson if Wilson if he could have a nice word with the German captain and ask him if the Captain could take Pike’s name off the list, and Wilson replied he would indeed have a nice word with the Captain!”
As long as civilization survives, this clip was always be remembered fondly as indeed will The Whole series of Dad’s Army.
They must have had so many takes at this scene but Pike is still smiling . One of the great lines in a great all time series.
All done in one take. Ian Lavender said he had to bite the inside of his lip to stop himself laughing. He said he bit so hard he drew blood. Most Dads Army was done in one take and you can see things going wrong such as Walker knocking Mainwarings phone off its base whilst talking and in one episode an entire prop coat stand collapses onto the floor of their lookout post leaving Jimmy Beck looking totally bemused. They just ignored it.😅
“Don’t tell him Pike!” RIP Ian Lavender you will be missed 😢
on a par with "You started it no we didn't yes you did you invaded Poland".
Goodbye mate - you made the whole family laugh.
The only complaint I have about this video is that it leaves out the part where the German officer says 'I like mine crisp und light brown' 😂😂
and Mainwaring's response too 😂
Probably because the woke brigade would regard it as racist.........
@@GeekyFandomslover and then Walker writing down 'soggy chips' on the order!
@@lukewolsey couldn't agree more
😂This litteraly had me in Stitches 🤣
Philip Madoc could speak fluent German. He studied at a German University. Brilliant all round.
" the Germans have absolutely no sense of humour" from Wilson cracks me up !!
Will you have a nice word with him?
Good comedy requires good actors - which is why British comedy is simply the best!
The clip missed the best line: "...I vant mine crisp und light brown" 😂
My all-time favourite comedy sketch..for obvious reasons!
Quite simply, the greatest comedy moment ever!
This is insanely funny. Best comedy writing ever. Acted as always , to perfection
Hello George how are you doing.

"I like mine crisp, und *light brown"*
"Dont tell him Pike" Is the greatest comedy moment of all time!!!!!!
@nw8000 that's the correct quote. The title has it wrong.
@@5CGQ I Guess BritBox's name will also go on the list lol
this clip always makes me laugh , RIP Ian Lavender, you brought me a lot of joy in life with just this clip
RIP Private Pike 😢
My late grandad loved this comedy.
Rip to him
I’m sorry
God rest him.
what a great grandad he must have been, thats awesome
Thanks to all of you for the kind words.
Whistle while you work, Hitler is a twerp, classic lines, RIp Private Pike.
RIP Ian Lavender also phillip madoc spoke 7 lanquages and was into learning a few more in the 60,s he dated my auntie for a while may they all RIP !
RIP Ian Lavender.
"I want Plaice" is an under-rated line
That line, "Don't tell him Pike", gets me every time l see this clip from the classic comedy Dads Army, it was one of the greatest sitcoms the BBC produced. Looking at the faces some of the actors in the clip l can see they are trying so very hard not to laugh. Dads Army was a well written comedy series🎭
RIP Pike.Thankyou for the laughs
1:17 he's saying "when I pretend to have stomach ache, everyone should pay attention, understood."
Another cowardly Nazi trick..
@@dechips
Never trust the Boche!
@@Wotsitorlabart Nor the Welsh! LOL
RIP Pike (Ian Lavender). Last of the original cast 😢
This is epic RIP to the great actors who stared in this 👍😂😢🙏 don’t tell them pike 😂
Remember watching this for the first time when I was a kid. I just come out of hospital after an operation on my nose. I laughed so much I nearly split open all my stitches so funny 😂
Can't beat a bit of Dad's Army
Rest in peace Ian Lavendar (Private Pike)
Say, "Don`t tell him, Pike" to any Brit and they will fall about laughing. 🤗
Or "Your name will go on ze list".
"I vant plaice" killed me
No matter how many times I have watched this, it always still cracks me up. 😂 RIP Pike.
Never gets old, although I'm always bugged by the missed opportunity to have the captain say "Venn vee vinn ze vawr"
RIP pike
RIP Ian Lavender
Even the German officer was fighting back a smile. RIP Ian Lavender, the last of the platoon. 😞
I love watching dad’s army
I remember when Ian Lavender and Rick Wakeman were on Celebrity Mastermind. When John Humphrys--following the usual format for the show--asked Ian Lavender his name, a voice rang out from the darkness, "Don't tell him, Pike." I'm pretty sure that was Rick.
Philip Madoc OWNED this peice of comedy gold!!
Philip Madoc was Fantastically fabulous as the WarLord in Doctor Who The War Games, he looked a bit like my dad did during his role in Doctor who. Lol
@@seanburns4168 Was your dad in Dr. Who? ;-)
@@georgebuller1914 no my father was not in Doctor Who. When I had first watched Doctor Who War Games starring Patrick Troughton. The way that Philip Madoc looked in The War Games. He looked like a younger version of my dad with the closely cropped moustache and beard.
@@seanburns4168 Please forgive me, my comment was made due to how your sentence was written! Blame British humour/Alcohol if you wish! :-) I know what you meant. Please, do not take offence. :-)
@@georgebuller1914 none taken I actually liked the War Games it was one of the best episodes in the long history of the show. One of the TimeLords The War Chief had colluded with the War Lords in a scheme to conquer the galaxy with an army of humans that were subject to mental processing.
One of the best classic comedy lines ever, absolutely fabulous and also sad that all the original cast have now left us RIP
"Don't tell him Pike" is my nomination for the best comedy line of all time.
Fun fact:- The U boat captain is played by Philip Madoc, who was married to Ruth Madoc (Gladys Pugh, of "Hi-Di-Hi Campers" fame)
I hope she never made him soggy chips.
@@MOGGS1942 He he! Well, Ruth and Philip Madoc did go their seperate ways, so it is quite possible she did make him soggy chips.
RIP Ian Lavender who played Private Pike
RIP Ian Lavender…what a show this is ❤
Rip Pike
This episode was used for a proposed American version of Dad’s Army - only Pike was called Henderson!
The Bit Where Walker Takes Down The Prisoners Orders Makes Me Hungry For Fish & Chips.
The German Captain actually tells them: When I act like I have a stomach ache,
you should all pay attention, be attentive. Understood?
Just heard the sad news of the passing Ian Lavender (Private Pike) Friday February 2nd 2024
Rest In Peace, Mr Lavender
You had one job: the quote is “don’t tell HIM Pike”
Just brilliant, I shall remember this to my dying day.
Rip Pike..
RIP Ian Lavender the UK’s last cast member of dad’s army.
Absolutely brilliant !! They dont do comedy like this any more, worse luck.
Best bit of british comedy
RIP Ian Lavender ❤❤!
God bless you Ian….RIP ☹️☹️
Dad's Army one of the greatest sitcoms in history, I was born in 1964 and i remember Watching Dad's Army with my late mum and Dad, then when my brother came along in 1970 when he got older he also watched Dad's Army which became one of our family favourite's. I just loved the cast they were just amazing. Even today it draws in younger members of our society, it is timeless and will never die. Many British sitcoms have gone to the vaults but Dad's Army is not one of them and still attracts fans today. The actors, actresses who play all the characters will live on and never die. 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Best of British 😂 from Glasgow 👏👏👏👏👏👍😊🇬🇧
Pmsl litteraly watching the Great Philip Madoc in this hilarious scene 😂😂😂😂R I P Arthur Lowe the cast of Dads Army and Philip Madoc as the U Boat Captain ,Only Ian Lavander is still with us as Dont tell him Pike 😂 ,Hard to think that was 50 years ago this episode aired 🤣🤣🤣🤣Had me falling down in fits of laughter 😂😂😂😂
The guy playing the German captain stole the scene 😀
Philip Madoc.
Absolutely - he made this scene one of the best from the whole series - and the one that everyone remembers from the past.
The comic timing is brilliant. Related to Ruth Madoc who appeared in 'Hi-de-Hi!' ?
@@user-wp8vy8le3y Related via marriage.
Rest In Peace Ian Lavender!!!!
RIP Pike UTV 💔
One of my favourite series. The regular actors were excellent but it was great to see Philip Madoc.
“He eventually spoke seven languages, including Russian and Swedish, and had a working knowledge of Huron Indian, Hindi and Mandarin. He worked as an interpreter ...”
Of all the quality performances Philip gave through his career this is what he's mostly remembered for.😮
Part of my early teens watching dads army with pike's daftness & mainwaring saying stupid boy & also don't tell him pike pure classic comedy r.i.p ian lavender (private pike .)
RIP Pike 😢💔😭
RIP Pikey ❤❤❤
Ian Lavender tried not to laugh so hard at the "Don't tell him Pike line" he bit a hole in his cheek and his mouth was full of blood.
Rip Ian Lavender
Hilarious! One of the funniest clips ever!
Saw this episode when it first aired in our local club.The place erupted in laughter at "Dont tell him Pike!".
There's an ice cream van that comes around where I am using whistle while you work as the music and everytime I hear it I start singing this version everytime!
Rip Ian lavender
brilliant wilsons line after all the commotion is class to pike "you must realise by now the germans have no sense of humour"
oh yes we do
Can't say that these days or we'll end up in jail.
