What was so wonderful about her, and what set her apart, was that, however clever her songs were, she never seemed to be saying "look at me, aren't I clever?". There was a great humanity about her humour, which invited us all to share in it. She was very special. R. I. P.
SDhe was a comic genius.I first saw her on a Saturday night talent show,which she did not actually win;but others with influence obviously recognised her unique talents,on an upright piano,that evening,as I certainly did.I swore that she would be BIG....and pleased that I was right.Loved you! R I P
This is wonderful. Never seen it before, can't imagine it'll get past the bed wetting censors now😂That speccy four eyes gag went VERY under appreciated by the audience! My sister was a huge VW fan and got to meet her. Don't think this is PG enough for her though... 😂😂😂
Hard to believe that she has gone at only 62 years old.One of the real groundbreakers for women in comedy."Meatandpotatoepie" will always make me smile :)
The world has just got a little sadder and a little darker. A comic genius who found the humour in everyday things without ever being cruel or nasty. RIP Victoria .
2016 was such a sad year. In only a four month span England lost 3 of it's finest Female comedy writers and performers. Victoria died in April of that year..Carla Lane followed shortly after in May and then we lost Caroline Aherne in July. They each gave us their gift of comedy and luckily we have recordings and places like UA-cam where we can keep their memories alive for coming generations.
Fantastic as always, one of my favourite all time comedian! Such a sad time, taken to soon, RIP Victoria, you may be gone but you're life will life on in our thoughts and memories :)
What a terrible year this is---so many of our great artists dying, and it's only April. I was reading a newspaper columnist who was listing all those who had died; and having been written the day before, and not knowing Victoria's name would be added that very day of printing. I went on line and there was the headline' I was astonished. Victoria was a one -off, unique, and a brilliant comedy / drama writer, and actress--so sad. NOW we here of the death of Prince-- R.I.P. one and all.
Just a huge talent with a wicked sense of humour . unfortunately never to be matched because moderness won't allow, we all now are to be boring that's what powers to be want of us...
That is a good question: she so should be! *checks Wikipedia* She got a CBE in 2008, one rank below the DBE she'd need to be a Dame; it was quite recent so it'll probably be quite a few years before she gets another honour.
A great loss for all. And so young. Condolences to her family. Can anyone give the name of the sketch in which she dances a duet in a spoof of The Apprentice. I want to buy the DVD and have searched fruitlessly. There is a UA-cam clip but it's souped up and not the original at all. Help GREATLY appreciated.
I sincerely wish that we could forget them, but we have to suffer their moronic dogma daily; the use of the terms 'woke', 'progressive' and 'liberal' when describing the loony left must surely rate as some of the greatest miss-applied adjectives of all time.
"His scrotum isn't used to strangers There are no condoms on his shelf When his tones caress and soften When he asks, 'D'you come here often?' He is talking to himself." God, I miss this woman so much.
I truly feel that I have lost a member of my family, I've not ever felt like this before over the death of someone I have not even met..........I suppose that is the true definition of a star...........
I feel exactly the same way! I heard the news of her passing on the day she died, I was so sad I couldn't stop crying! (She's my favourite comedian) When I woke up the day after I just wanted to stay in bed because I was so upset! (Yes you might think that's sad) 62years of age and no one knew she was ill… I just can't get over the fact that she's died! Been watching her sketches and comedy ever since I found them, and will continue to do so… only now it will be bittersweet knowing she's no longer shining her light in this world, but another one instead, and that we only have the fantastic comedy and hilarious memories left :( 💔 xx
+Child0 Music xx1 Thank you for sharing that. i thought i might have been going slightly mad but ive been having a hard time coming to terms with her death and i never met the woman! im still able to get on with my life, nothing has changed except that one of the greatest comedians of all time has passed away. Very sad indeed
I was very very lucky to get to meet such a wonderful woman and she treated averyone with such respect and normality it amazed us all x I still cannot get over her passing at all x
I'M SO SORRY I DISCOVERED VICTORIA TOO LATE! I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF HER...SHE WAS SO VERY TALENTED... SIMPLY INCREDIBLE!! I CANNOT BELIEVE SHE'S GONE TOO SOON...R.I.E.P. SWEET LADY. (And thanks so much for posting. This is one of my favorites of Miss Victoria)!
Absolutely heartbroken, only two days ago I had all her songs on full blast, singing along with her and crying with laughter. Such a shame, what an amazing talent. We will miss you, Victoria.
My heroine since I was a kid! Recently sat near her on a train - was desperate to say how great she is, but managed not to so! - difficult self restraint!
Look at her face at 1:09 after dropping 2 racial slurs in her first 2 lines- she was a comic genius! The reason people get in trouble for 'non-PC' jokes isn't because we're all too sensitive- it's because it's incredibly hard to do well, and lazy comedians try to get the shock value without earning it with an intelligent payoff. What a legend.
Spot on, she says words you just can't say in a completely inoffensive way. Absolute genius, I saw her live probably late eighties and she must have performed solid for almost 3 hours, what a talent.
I have to say the first time i heard this, I did a double take at that first line, but it's completely meant in a non-offensive way. Such a terrific song. And yes, I love the word "wanker" too. :)
Couldn't believe the news when i heard Victoria Wood passed away. So very sad, another legend gone too soon but definitely not forgotten. Her comedy and songs were legendary. We will miss you. R.I.P. Victoria Wood.
Helen B, I say what I feel. There is too much extraneous censorship. I'm surprised that some liberal language nazi hasn't had a rant about the first two lines. It seems to me that people like that are far more indignant than those who are actually mentioned. Suppression of free speech has made many people fearful of opening their mouths. Today's "comedians" can only make unfunny, repetitive and juvenile gags about the right-wing in this country and others. The left has no real sense of humour, they can't accept any joke made against them. They take themselves far too seriously, and they seem to think their fame entitles them to lecture the rest of us on what we should feel and say. russell brand, eddie izzard, (lower case deliberate) I could name a dozen more. Waste of oxygen, the lot of them.
What was so wonderful about her, and what set her apart, was that, however clever her songs were, she never seemed to be saying "look at me, aren't I clever?". There was a great humanity about her humour, which invited us all to share in it. She was very special. R. I. P.
The ordinary being extraordinary.
R.I.P. Victoria, thanks for the laughs. Too soon. Far too soon.
brilliant, love her.
And we will always listen to Let's Do it...
Wankers will be thanking her for this song. RIP
I know I do. ;-;
@@vyneaofficial ⁰0
I love how the biggest laughs come when it becomes obvious what the rhyming word will be rather than when she says it. Bit of comedy magic there.
Followed by a cheeky grin. :)
Wait for audience to catch on, pause, grin cheekily and carry on :p
Absolutely. She gets the laugh to the same line twice with only saying it once. She was incredible
i forgot how talented she is. such a skilled musician and singer as well as comedian. and so nice with it too.
She was totally amazing. So talented and always right where the public attitudes were. She is so missed and taken from us far too soon.
An absolute legend!!! Behind me over on the hostess trolley gets me every time. RIP Bren- the bestest dinnerlady ever .
All these years later, and this song is more relevant than ever!
Timeless
+Storybellz Variety got no time for people being "Politically Correct" no need for it
What a rare and wonderful talent. She was just a clever witty woman. One of a kind. 😢
Always a beautiful and wickedly funny lady....the world is a sadder place without you....I will love you until the end of time.....
Absolutely the best ..... we sometimes forget how clever these songs were, SUPERB !
So clever, so brilliant, so sad that you are gone. Rest in peace Victoria Wood.
RIP flower....you will be sorely missed....
RIP to such a talented, beautiful lady
So sad! She was magical. Rest in peace Victoria Wood.
SDhe was a comic genius.I first saw her on a Saturday night talent show,which she did not actually win;but others with influence obviously recognised her unique talents,on an upright piano,that evening,as I certainly did.I swore that she would be BIG....and pleased that I was right.Loved you! R I P
Hard to believe she's gone and the awful thought that we may not see her like again.
RIP lovely lady - Pure genius - the likes of which we will never see again
This is wonderful. Never seen it before, can't imagine it'll get past the bed wetting censors now😂That speccy four eyes gag went VERY under appreciated by the audience! My sister was a huge VW fan and got to meet her. Don't think this is PG enough for her though... 😂😂😂

Staggeringly talented-absolutely one of a kind and sadly missed
this is amazing, she is hands down a genius!!!
Wonderful Wordsmith - such Talent! Sadly missed .
Such an amazing soul, you will be missed! Too sad RIP
The world has just got a little sadder and a little darker.
A comic genius who found the humour in everyday things without ever being cruel or nasty. RIP Victoria .

A modern day Tom Lehrer, RIP.
+Drive Easy Excellent analogy, her comedy writing just sparkles. Wonderful person, RIP
Audience with show (1988) was eighties masterpiece. RIP
Always my idol, she was gone too soon xx 😇
It feels like we have all lost a friend x
Just a huge talent with a wicked sense of humour . unfortunately never to be matched because moderness won't allow, we all now are to be boring that's what powers to be want of us...
Loved Victoria Wood. I do one of her impressions on my channel.
unique talent, Victoria much missed. R.I.P
@ThePsychicChickpeas- Re: "Victoria Wood with Tim Minchin would make me so happy"
In what capacity? ;)
Miss her so much she was such an amazing talent
A true one off up there with Alan Bennett,Dickens and Shakespeare
That is a good question: she so should be! *checks Wikipedia* She got a CBE in 2008, one rank below the DBE she'd need to be a Dame; it was quite recent so it'll probably be quite a few years before she gets another honour.
I, myself, love the term wanker and use it generously.
A great loss for all. And so young. Condolences to her family. Can anyone give the name of the sketch in which she dances a duet in a spoof of The Apprentice. I want to buy the DVD and have searched fruitlessly. There is a UA-cam clip but it's souped up and not the original at all. Help GREATLY appreciated.
the year music magic and laughter died :(
Just brilliant.
Crying with laughter here miss Victoria she had a perfect comedic timing
What year was this recorded?
Let’s do it …… beat me on the bottom with a woman’s weekly!
She's a poet...
Brilliant did not know she played piano.
Truly great!
RIP, you will be missed deeply by millions of fans.
RIP Lady! Such a talent..
Loved you! RIP
Oh, where is a talent like hers when we need it?
@Andrew Schneider Do not forget the half-witted "wokes", "progressives", miss-named "liberals" and other assorted lefty know-nothings.
I sincerely wish that we could forget them, but we have to suffer their moronic dogma daily; the use of the terms 'woke', 'progressive' and 'liberal' when describing the loony left must surely rate as some of the greatest miss-applied adjectives of all time.
RIP to a seriously funny lady.
why I loved her x
just to sad 😔 RiP
"His scrotum isn't used to strangers
There are no condoms on his shelf
When his tones caress and soften
When he asks, 'D'you come here often?'
He is talking to himself."
God, I miss this woman so much.
I was listening to this today while walking my dog. Luckily there was no one around as I was laughing so much! 😂
Oh how I miss this genius. She was the best. Thankfully there is so much on UA-cam so we can reminisce as much. This is just brilliant.
RIP Funny lady. The world is a lesser place without you. Thanks for the laughs and sharing them with us. Sweet dreams x
she was supreme.
@@xxLivinginTheLightxx
She was a delight.
Crying with sadness and laughter at the same time RIP Victoria. Thank you.
How else can you describe politicians without this word?
Impossible
C***, vile word, but most of them are, so...
Cockwomble?
Talent of this calibre is rare indeed, Victoria will be sadly missed.
Modern Female Comedians can learn a thing or two from her
Lee evans male counterpart?
This is quite simply a spectacularly well-written song. She was an immense talent.
The rhym-
ing scheme is in the honourable chain from Cole Porter, through Tom Lehrer, and maybe Flanders & Swann.
So sad, going to miss you lovely funny lady! R.I.P. Victoria Wood :(

Wow, that must have been awesome. she striked me as very down to earth and unassuming. Still hard to believe she's gone. :(
Dammit Victoria, why leave so soon, you haven't finished yet.
I'm going on a Victoria Wood binge now, see you all later! :D
+Benjamin Kelly Hope you like the taste of dusty minge.
+Benjamin Kelly Just about to start one. Lovely!

(And thanks so much for posting. This is one of my favorites of Miss Victoria)!
Seen the ballad of Barry and Freda?
@@georgecaplin9075 that's really funny
I feel exactly the same. I've watched everything I can about her or with her in it. Gone far too soon.
Rest in Peace Victoria. I Loved your comedy sketches!
R:I:P Victoria, so many laughs.....another star in Heaven with Wogan and Corbett...bet they will have a great laugh together...
+sweduk Jesus fuck I only just found out that Wogan and Corbett had died.
Having seen Victoria many times on TV it was shocking to many people to lose a great comedian at such a young age.
Absolutely heartbroken, only two days ago I had all her songs on full blast, singing along with her and crying with laughter. Such a shame, what an amazing talent. We will miss you, Victoria.
I live two doors up, we were all concerned as you belted out your ability to handle half the tenors in a male voice choir
“His scrotum isn’t used to strangers” is maybe the funniest sentence I have heard in years
My heroine since I was a kid! Recently sat near her on a train - was desperate to say how great she is, but managed not to so! - difficult self restraint!
Rest In Peace Victoria. Will be missed
RIP Victoria you were unique and I really sad to think you have passed. Thank you x

Do you apply that logic to all spheres of offensive racism, sexism
@@Steampunksaly oh look, one of the boring brigade has arrived.
Love you Victoria Wood....words cannot express how I feel about your passing.
She wove so much magic in her too-short life. Forever loved, forever missed - thank you Victoria.
Couldn't believe the news when i heard Victoria Wood passed away. So very sad, another legend gone too soon but definitely not forgotten. Her comedy and songs were legendary. We will miss you. R.I.P. Victoria Wood.
A great loss for British comedy when she died, but what a legend :)
Only the great Victoria Wood could write, and perform, a song about self-flagellation, and make it enjoyable!
ua-cam.com/video/Qhsj3ZQJoTY/v-deo.html comes close.
A tough act to follow. RIP Victoria.
RIP Victoria Wood. Great comic and another victim of what seems to be 2016 curse. So many superb artists gone already
RIP Victoria Wood. So sad.

back when comedy wad actually funny lol xxx
Rest in peace
"He can toss without a caber" - my FAVOURITE line!!! Absolutely love this song, think it's my favourite of Victoria Wood's :D
Nothing can surpass the Ballad. Though this is indeed very good!
3:24 that line was so funny. The timing was amazing. I also love that Victoria didn't expect it to get the reaction it got.
62 years old...no age to die. Rest in peace Victoria and thank you for all the laughter.
Too, Too young to be taken away from us. Thoughts to your family and friends. RIP Victoria.
We come from the same shitty northern town and I am so proud of my shitty little town because of her RIP Vicky you will never be forgotten xxxxx
she'll have them laughing up there. RIP x
I have just laughed my arse off! Brilliant!
What an extraordinary talent!! A much missed lady!!
R.I.P. Victoria Wood a shy genius thank you the laughter you will be truly missed X
