Nick Lyndhurst (who plays Rodney) lives near me and everyone hates him. I used to work in a store he frequented and was told "if he comes in, go hide out the back because he keeps trying to get people fired". BUT, I'm kind of on his side. I've heard dozens of negative stories from people who've met him in the street but ALL of them involve someone shouting "oi oi Rodney!" at him, like geez give the guy a break! He's entitled to a day off just like the rest of us!
Personally I preferred his other show "Goodnight Sweetheart" anyway 🙂
Pinning this for the people who develop parasocial relationships with celebrities & are unable to leave them alone in public because they're so brain-dead that they think they know that celebrity. It needs to be stopped.
@@EmbraceTheSuck21 Exactly. There's another celeb down this way (I won't say who in case people start triangulating my location, which isn't great for those celebs' privacy either) who is in her 90s and STILL gets harassed in the street. I imagine there are times she must feel seriously intimidated, especially as she often goes out alone.
@@EmbraceTheSuck21I actually feel for the man, he lost his only child a few years back, it really, even after the years go by chips at your personality, I'm sure at times he needs to talk to people and sometimes he needs to be left the f... alone. R.I.P. Archie❤️
@@EmbraceTheSuck21 Yeah people think the person is the character of the programme and not a person. I know the woman who played Marlene said that men would come up to her in shops or whatever and pinch her bottom just because they saw Del Boy do it on OFAH.
Trigger was on talksport yrs ago and he was asked how many times a day does he get shouted at in the St with all the various sayings we love and he said 80-100 lol
Can't remember the episode but my favourite Rodney quote is, "I am depressed at the state of my life at the moment. I'm starting to worry that if reincarnation does exist, knowing my luck, I'll come back as me." 😂
I think that is the one with the wigs 😂😂 can't be sure though
Correct! It's in 'Three men a woman and a baby' 😄
A Rodney quote that got me was so silly lol. He was walking in front of the funeral cars and he said to del...I looked like a wand
The best lines ever for me was grandad, his heros for homes talk. It was so out of character for the show that it really did hit home
@@TheLastCrumb. 🤣
Only Fools and Horses is the most loved comedy show ever in Britain ❤ It's part of the fabric of our lives, the characters and actors are so famous, John Sullivan a genius writer (so missed ) and everyone knows the language and catchphrases. It's become part of the culture and history of our lives 🧡
Couldn't have said it better, perfick. 💯
Along with Fawlty Towers
My favorite of all time
Best British comedy of all time bar none
I would say still game is better
@@garygillespie4899 can't understand a word their fkn saying hence not funny 🤣
@@garygillespie4899 I'd say they're both about the same, same format, heart warming and funny.
@@garygillespie4899no
I'm Scottish and no@@garygillespie4899
This show is one of if not the best comedy show ever in England absolute classic . It’s a show I’ve watched multiple times over the years and it never gets old . Brilliant cast brilliant writers .. rip John Sullivan
It gets better the more u go it's like all other comedy programs u get invested in the characters and I think trigger is gonna be the best for you 2 stick with it truly a British classic
Best British sitcom ever. And yes first series is finding its feet but after that it’s comedy/drama genius.
This is the best writing ever, you will cry laughing, make you cry sad tears, its got the fulll emotions
Only Fools, Red Dwarf, Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, Dad's Army and so many more 😂
Guys don't forget to do the feature lengths. After series 4.... feature length: To Hull and Back. After Series 5....feature lengths: A Royal Flush, The Frogs legacy & Dates. After Series 6. Feature lengths:Jolly Boys Outing & Rodney Comes Home. Series 7. Feature lengths: Miami Twice, Mother Natures Son, Fatal Extraction, Heroes & Villans, Modern Man, Time on our Hands, If they can see us now, Strangers on the Shore, Sleepless in Peckham
Heroes and villains 😂😂😂 that scene is brilliant!
To Hull and back is my favourite. My favourite part is when they got lost and look to the stars for help when uncle Albert says "look its concorde" i laugh so much every time.
Anyone who watches Only Fools and Horses is in for a massive treat. It's one of the best TV shows ever.
Del always comes to his brothers rescue. A great episode is when Del takes a beating for his brother.
When you get into the series further you invest in the characters and start to love them.
This show is classic British comedy
As others have said, this sit com turns into a British classic - stick with it. Season 1 starts slow, but it becomes a work of genius. Funny, heartwarming, emotional at times, but every step of the way, you just want them to succeed!
Only Fools is one of those rare shows that just gets better with each series. Series 6 onwards are my personal favourites. Be prepared, it's SO full of heart so have a box of tissues ready!
It did get a bit overly silly at times towards the end and while it may not quite have jumped the shark, it was definitely circling the pool.
Can't wait to rewatch this and follow your journey with The Trotters, pure gold gets better and better.
Best British show ever! Watch the whole lot chaps! You won’t regret it!
the writer wrote every episode by himself - genius
Yesssssss finally!!!!! I’m here for the long run!!! It gets even better as the seasons run on.
Most English have never heard of Still Game as it was a Scottish show. What gets transmitted in Scotland does not always appear on English tv. Another good Scottish show was Rab C Nesbitt
Rab C Nesbitt, they will need sub titles for that.
"Most English have never heard of Still Game."
Absolute nonsense!
My favourite show of all time its weird seeing these so young
This is a rabbit hole that will not disappoint, fantastic series, always funny, absolutely brilliant.
There are several reasons why this became a hit: 1) excellent actors and story writing 2) us Brits love rooting for the underdogs 3) It's one of the only sitcoms that can make you both laugh and cry within the space of 5 minutes. It's an emotional rollercoaster, full of drama, while also being hilarious at times. It's much deeper than your average chuckle-a-long sitcom.
Whattttt? Can’t wait for this. I’ll be here daily as you post them
Remember boys, good things come to those who wait ! In this era UK sitcoms were allowed to take time to develop the characters and this first series was very much everyone finding their feet. John Sullivan wrote some superb sitcoms ( Just Good Friends as a good example ) but this really is his piece de resistance 👌
It gets better and better. Glad you guys are giving it a shot. America tried a pilot of the same show but it didn't work unfortunately.
So excited you’re doing only fools. It’s the best British comedy of all time. The further you get through the episodes the funnier it gets so stick with them. It gets much better after the first season. It gets even funnier once you get to know all the characters as well.
The more you watch it the more invested in the characters you become and the funnier it becomes.
it just get better as it goes on. some of the episodes had me rolling on the floor in tears, and that was when i was younger and didnt understand half the jokes
The greatest comedy of all time. You will fall in love with these characters. You’ll laugh loads but you will definitely cry also.
Au revoir. This was voted in a proper poll, I believe conducted by channel 4, (back a few years ago when you could trust such a survey), OFAH was voted as the greatest British sitcom of all time. Bonjour.
It really is the creme del a monf 😂
This series will make you laugh out loud it will make you cringe anf it will make you cry. This is by far the best TV Britain has ever produced from all genres.
I remember as child in school in the uk when talking to all veterans from World War one and two. They used to visit the school at least once a week and the stories they told us was amazing scary but amazing.
No-one's done 'Auf Weidersehen, Pet' yet. British brickies working abroad in Germany. You guys will love it. Guaranteed.
Aye it's a belter
Great show 👍
Oooh, yes! Though the plethora of accents may be challenging!😊
It won’t translate. Americans will find it so depressing!
Can't wait to see how AI copes with the subtitles for that one 🤣🤣
Finally... only the best British comedy ever made💯💯💯💯
Rodney (Nicolas Lyndhurst) is now starring in Fraiser 2023 playing Professor Alan Cornwall, Frasier's friend from Oxford University
Great that you're doing Only Fools. With every season, they get stronger. Season 6, they started going up to 50 minutes, so they have fuller storylines. Welcome to OFAH
🇬🇧
This show is full of laughs, but it also makes you cry. Be ready fellas. 😂😢❤
We watch it every time it comes on. Just a great show.
It only gets better as it goes on. Fantastic show.
Omg finally, you're reacting to the goat of UK comedies. You won't regret this rabbit hole
Best sitcom ever
Guys so, so glad to see you finally start OFAH the UK's favourite sitcoms. You've done excerpts, but now you'll get to see the whole thing in context. Enjoy some of the best writing and funniest gags you'll laughs out loud to. BTW, the writer John Sullivan sings the theme song and he wrote an earlier sitcom in the 1970's called Citizen Smith about a would-be revolutionary in London. When he was thinking of a name for his (then) new sitcom, he took it from an episode of Citizen Smith called 'Only Fools & Horses'. The chandelier gag & open bar flap fall you've already seen but there's plenty more to come. In its later years, it used outdoor locations in Bristol - love to show you the real-life Nelson Mandela House, the spot where a certain 3 wheel van breaks down with its occupants in fancy dress.
This show was a slow burner. If I remember it wasn't until the third series that it really caught the public's attention.
Congratulations you are about to watch the most loved, best written, best cast, greatest sitcom of all time.
This show is the greatest comedy series in the world it gets better and better,please watch ...everyone.
My fave series are 1 and 6.
1 isn't really the show we all came to remember, but every episode is a gem, i love it 😄
Only Fools is the by far the most hilarious TV show ever made in Britain! Enjoy! Really picks up in S2. Make sure not to overlook the Christmas specials too!
Oh, I am locked IN! I'm 33 but I grew up with this show. If you need help with any slang or references, just ask and us fans will help you out ❤
Also, please please do not skip episodes and don't miss specials 😊
The series just keep getting funnier and funnier, hope you get to see them all over time.
John Sullivan not only wrote the episodes, I believe he also wrote and actually sang the main theme tune. Very much the one man band! Colour me impressed - it is a very, very British show with an awful lot of jokes and humour that might not translate easily across the pond. Love this show with all my heart, and am looking forward to sharing the journey with you.
You guys have no idea how funny this show is. Wait till you get to the Chandelier episode or the axeman in the cottage episode.
Or the blow up doll episode lol
Britain's greatest ever tv show.
I have been waiting for this. I have watched it for over 20 years and I still notice new bits I missed the first few times. Great job boys 😂😂
Yes this was voted the best British comedy of all time, I'm glad you're watching only fools and horses, it gets better as the seasons progress, happy watching 💪
Bravo guys. Only fools only gets better and better. I look forward to the next upload
Early 90's , Bristol, where they did some filming , Me and mate came out the Newquay Steam pub ,slighty drunk , around the corner came Nicholas slightley worst for wear too ... Rodney i shouted ... 'Piss off' he said .. Fair play to him .
Wow. What an anecdote.
Can confirm he's not changed at all lol.
You've finally got to the best ever.
Stick with it, guys. It gets better and better.
the best tv show in history. its grows and develops and gets even better! trigger is a great character, hes one of loads to see!! rodney always tries to do right.
It started as a bit of a slow burner, but trust me, it gets sooooo much better!
Can't afford patreon but I'm happy that you're watching this. Enjoy.
You guys have reacted to inbetweeners, Father Ted, Peep show etc now your going to find out that none of those can get near or touch Only Fools and Horses a sitcom with Comedy, Action, Drama, bit of horror even all rolled into one a national treasure you'll love 😊
Don't forget the 16 Christmas specials which weren't included in the series proper.
S1E1, just the start, finding it's way. It gets much better as the series go on. I think it holds the record for the most viewers ever in the UK for a Christmas Special.
Just a slight correction to the synopsis you read, Spencer. Del Boy, Rodney and Grandad are the Trotter family from the beginning. Uncle Albert doesn't appear until much later.
It'll get better as you become more familiar with all the recurring characters. You're gonna love it!
The first episode was introducing the characters it gets better with every episode. Sanford and Son was originally a U.K. series called Steptoe and Son.
Phoenix Nights would be great on your channel, probably Peter Kay's magnum opus!
It gets even better as the the series goes further, it has everything , the writer got lots of his lines from the city of London market barrel boys
Another great series, where you will pick up even more British catch phrases.
I think Sanford and Son was a remake of classic British sitcom Steptoe and son. Also, Grandad was trying to play draughts on the electronic chess board, which I believe you guys call chequers.
You’re about to embark on a wonderful journey with Del and Rodders. Enjoy!
Absolutely love Only Fools and Horses
Guys this is a rabbit hole that you definitely want to go down....its a beautiful journey!!
U will like this one!
The writer John Sullivan was amazingly talented to have the ability to make you laugh and cry
I recall it was going to be cancelled after the first series, but they had already started filming the 2nd series.......and the rest is history.
Best comedy show ever. Each series gets better. It is not just a comedy though there is also sadness. Del is not dumb he is streetwise and operates on the edge of the law - Rodney is more honest
First Episodes are often not typical, but the writing here introduces the characters and back story quite well. Also look out for the walls and furniture as they seem to change
It just gets funnier and funnier as it goes on.
You're in for a treat!
**IMPORTANT** Boys keep the accounts Rodney is doing and the items he lists in mind. It is of HUGE significance way later down the seasons!
Stick with it , it gets better and better
Sandford and Sons, is an American copy of the British Sitcom "Steptoe and Son" so perhaps that's why it has a resonance with this.
So many reactors - especially from the US, watch short compilations of Only Fools and it really doesn't hit, it's the kind of thing (as I'm sure you know now) that builds up and you need the whole context and back story for which adds to the impact of the comedy. As you correctly notice at the end, it's the kind of show that is fun but has a lot of real wholesome moments and sometimes deals with very serious issues. For us in the UK, Fresh Prince was a bit like that.
It finds its feet as it goes on and does hit a very high standard
Much sadly will go over your head with the references of the time and some of the language/slang
One of if not my all time favourite which set the standard for comedy writing. Don’t forget when this was written and accept what can’t be said today could then, shows society progression
Pleased though you’re doing it
yay Only Fools and Horses what a classic guys you won't regret it 1 of my favourites :)
Keep a close eye and ear to Trigger. He is hilarious. I love his blank looks😂😂
A great series which allows so many actors to show off their comedic skills. The funny lines are widely spread and Trigger became a national treasure for his stupidity. The writer of the show was incredibly talented, also writing the hit comedy shows Dear John, Just Good Friends, The Green Green Grass, Rock and Chips, Citizen Smith and Roger Roger. Sadly he died too soon.
Grandad before Uncle Albert, most loved British comedy of all time. Hush Puppies are a shoe brand but there is a lot of Cockney rhyming slang in it, however Cockney rhyming slang is cut down to one word so you will hear Del Bit saying “Ruby” fairly often which in cockney Rhyming slang is Ruby Murray which means Curry, Del usually cuts it down to one word you really have to keep up. Don’t mistake Del for being stupid, Rodney is just more straight laced and honest than Del that’s all Dels a trier lol Good luck lol
What a cute dog....!! I didn't think I could like you guys anymore and then boom you got a dog!😂 great content as ever 👏
Great series, you'll enjoy what's to come
Still Game is No2 after Only Fools
You guys do know that Sanford & Son was just yet another remake of a much better UK comedy? Steptoe & Son
If I had to give a quick synopsis of OFAH to a US citizen, I'd typically describe it as "A kind of British version of Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy".
Spencer, you mentioned "Sanford and Son", which is based on a British comedy great called "Steptoe and Son".
KorkytheKat" UK
The dodgy paint one is good
One of my favorites yes
OH wow i glad you doing these i will be here to watch please do not abandon these believe me they do get better you will enjoy im sure :)
If you're only going to watch the first episode of each season. You will be missing side splitting classic moments. Only Fools is a cult classic in the UK. Generations will watch it for years to come.
Love you guys content, always makes me laugh 😂
The first series wasnt well received but came back for 2cnd series and was a hit rest is history
It's a proper classic over here. It gets much better. It's a bit like Blackadder. The longer they did it, the better they got at it.
7 series but 8 specials, To Hull and Back, Royal Flush, Jolly Boys Outing, Fatal Extraction, Dates, Mother Natures Son to name but a few!
Sanford and Son. You need to watch “Steptoe and Son” the original series it was based on.
One of the three comedies that always make me laugh years and years later. Porridge, Fools and Horses and Dad's Army. These three and the radio show Sorry I Haven't A Clue is enough for anyone.
