@@OneManRaidOfficial I still can't think of anything so original being written. Maybe a couple honorary mentions. But this is sublime comedy still. Five years doesn't take long.
I remember watching this at the time thinking how surreal! Still one of the most bizarre but funny TV sketches! Armando Iannucci deserves great respect; he is a fantastic comedy writer. The Friday Night Armistice was probably one of the best shows of the 90s; they certainly liked to take the piss out of the IRA/Sinn Fein!
My house was burgled in 2000 and the thing that pissed me off the most is that the tape in my VCR had the full series of The Armando Iannucci Show on it.
about halfway through, i was surprised to find myself thinking that this seemed like a great idea. although now i think about it, it must have a downside.
@@victorkreig6089 Yeah.... but raised in GREAT britain. When u grow up in this country, u adapt to the comedy. No matter what ever you are born out of👍
Vintage Iannucci. Brilliant... Remeber when this was on C4 at about 11.30 before I used to switch off for the night. Parodied so many issues in the UK.... "Quick, quick, quick, quick...Heads down!!"
and brass eye, time trumpet and the thick of it. All very very funny. Also The armando iannucci shows (it has an s on the end :P) has been released on dvd, defenitly worth the investment.
this is the greatest thing ever lol i remember watching this back in 2006 ive tried to find it but never could and now ive finally found it so great i love it does anyone know what its from

Haha love it! "No, I hide. Ohterwise I no sniper." Best part.
"Ur english is coming on so well" hahahah
Still ahead of it's time.
It actually parallels what is going on in Europe right now extraordinarily well! (Albeit it's slightly exaggerated)
Still

"One day I will kill all of you." - I laughed so damn hard!
4 years on from the last comment and it's STILL ahead of its time.
Never thought I'd see such a fresh comment here
about halfway through, i was surprised to find myself thinking that this seemed like a great idea. although now i think about it, it must have a downside.
what's up w/ that audio panning?
God bless the Brits and their morbid sense of humor lmaoo
British sense of humour above and beyond.
Our wit and humour/ OTT borderline style is what global comedy is based on.
@martincrittenden465 except the creator of the show is a Scottish born italian with Italian parents
@@victorkreig6089
Yeah.... but raised in GREAT britain.

No matter what ever you are born out of👍
Sha sha zane thinks they are british.🤔
@martincrittenden465 most of what you think is funny comes from your family, that's a fact
The Vicar gets me everytime. 😂
193 Stormtroopers clicked dislike because Gregory actually hits some people.
"I try to shoot you in your eye, but you moved quickly" absolutely love it, funny as hell
Haven't laughed this hard for ages... great stuff
What a fine example of the world accepting other, foreign cultures with a big embrace.
Ok this was without any doubt one of the funniest things I have seen in my entire life =)
Vintage Iannucci. Brilliant... Remeber when this was on C4 at about 11.30 before I used to switch off for the night. Parodied so many issues in the UK....
"Quick, quick, quick, quick...Heads down!!"
"How is your arm?"
"Oh it's getting much better."
Good. I try to shoot you in your eye, but you moved quickly."
Every year, it feels like this is becoming closer and closer to reality.
i am from croatia and this video is awesome!
Respect to the martyrs of Vukovar.
thank you so so so much, ive been looking for this piece of music for years. ever since i first saw this clip.
Remeber watching this when i was younger. never gets old. "it was funny then and it's funny now"
such a dark idea! "having a villiage sniper puts life in perspective"
This deserves 1 million views!
I can't be the only one that recognised the shot of the sniper as the AK47 sound from counterstrike, can I?
No wonder he keeps missing.
"We Have A Village Sniper"
GO GO!!!
KEEP YOUR HEADS DOWN GO!!!
0:49 The best bit is the Morris Dancers running away. :)
"i try to shot you in your eye but you moved quickly so..."
That was like a sketch from the brilliant 'The Day Today' news satire programme.
***** The guy who wrote this show was a producer on The Day Today :)
bagser1
Ah, that would explain it. I've not seen this clip before.....cheers
No...I hide..
haha classic.
Ah yes. Memories of Hungerford. How nostalgic!
that is absolutely a masterpiece! so funny! ...Village Sniper!!??? ..."how's your arm?"
I this Armando Iannuci peice, its really funny, thanks for uploading it ;-)
One of the best classics
"I try to shoot you in your eye... .. but you move quickly".
thats a Dragonov sniper rifle has the same looks as an AK in some prespective and shoots the same size round 7.62x54 ( 30.06)
Monty Python feel!
i saw a com why he is from croatia ! I think that Video was made short time after the war in jugoslavia. Correct me plz when im wrong ;)
LEGENDARY UA-cam VIDEO!!!!
and brass eye, time trumpet and the thick of it. All very very funny.
Also The armando iannucci shows (it has an s on the end :P) has been released on dvd, defenitly worth the investment.
Wow! That really reminds me of home! Brings tears to my eyes!
We were amused. This was dark humor at it's finest. There was no hidden message involed here.
I know it Dragunov sniper he is holding, but that soundclip which you can hear is from CS, ak-47 single shot.
this is a fantastic video
svd for ever
Quite possibly the best video on youtube!
The village sniper is pretty cool guy he shoots at people and doesnt afraid of anything.
lol santa is dead. ROFLMAO, This video deserves 5 star vote. GOD, this is like the funniest british comedie ever.
this is the greatest thing ever lol i remember watching this back in 2006 ive tried to find it but never could and now ive finally found it so great i love it does anyone know what its from
It's from episode 6 of The Armando Iannucci Shows, broadcast in 2001.
That was pretty damn funny!! "The Village Sniper". LOL!!
A fine piece of British humour you have here
The music is from Handel's Ode For the birthday of Queen Anne 'Eternal Source of Light Divine'
The village sniper.. the unsung hero of any happy community. In the city I live in we have to put up with the city-grenadier... :-(
maybe the bit at the end that says "END OF PART 1!"
Melkvision: Not an internet warrior, an internet troll. He did that just so you would react in an angry but sometimes funny (and internet-tough-guy-ish) way.
This is one of the best sketches I've ever seen. I don't suppose anyone knows the chorale piece please?
I'd like to be Merthyr tydfil's village sniper
My headphones can't decide which side to play the audio from
What's with the audio? It bounces from left to right non-stop.
LMAOOOO "how's your arm" "it's much better" "good...I tried to shoot you in your eye but you moved quickly so"
ahh reminds me of my town.every day at 6 am i get up and start sniping.hard work but someones got to do it.

My town needs a village sniper.
