The Dirty Harry reference is made twice as funny by the fact the blunderbuss is single-shot.
In all the excitement, they quite forgot
@@jeanpaulsinatra Exactly...how...fortunate are You feelING?!
😂😂oh yes of course 😆😳🔫🎭
I know they were referencing Dirty Harry, but the costume combined with the music made me immediately think of Javert from Les Mis. 😂
How many times have I discharged my blunderbluss. Bachmann makes the show at times, he's hilarious
The way he says "They hate it!" never fails to make me laugh
He's brilliant in the 'Hail Caesar' sketch.
And the Bronze Age sketch
@@TheMijman for Vectron!
"Exactly how fortunate are you feeling?"
I love how Bachman cries "Where are the tunes!?" with more tone in his voice than when he's actually singing.
I genuinely would like to see a Gilbert and Sullivan style opera that takes place in the United Federation of Planets space.
Several amateur companies have done a "Star Trek Pinafore" of one type or another over the years. I think at least one is on RUclips somewhere.
I have always wanted to write a musical based upon Dirty Harry
I was in a choir that did an 'Airship Pinafore' to align with the gas lamp or steampunk sub-genres.
@@peterzavon3012 You cannot tell me honestly that you are truly serious!
The operatic exploits of ship's Captain James Tiberius?
With the exception of some scenes in Iolanthe, all Gilbert and Sullivan operas take place solely in United Federation of Planets space! Specifically on Earth.
"Were very disappointed with you're new opperattas"
a gentlemen heckler
"We're very disappointed in your new operettas!!" hahahahahaahahahahahah 2:26
The internet.
I'd watch No-nonsense Harold
How many times have I discharged my blunderbuss?
Harold doesn't rhyme with anything.
@@FatNorthernBigot Double-barreled?
@@adh0c468 Oh yeah!
@@FatNorthernBigot Christmas caroled?
"How fortunate are you feeling?" 😂
*glass breaking* *thunk* ". . . we're very disappointed in your new operettas!"
I am going to be saying this SO much, now.
hms pinafore 2 and no nonsense harold were ahead of their time
I feel like the writing process for this sketch began with the Dirty Harry bit.
Why is the last sketch repeated?
Why is the last sketch repeated?
Bongobongobongobongo
Under the boat lies a monster of the seas
One snap of its teeth and surely our lives will cease
*Our lives will cease* *Our lives will cease*
If anyone wants to finish Dangerous Shark With Big Teeth than be my guest,
Grizzled captain character:I pray to Neptune that we will stay afloat
Youthful comic relief:But to catch this killer we'll need a bigger boat
Chorus: we'll need a bigger boat yes we'll need a bigger boat
Grizzled Captain: I'll man the boat and you'll load the harpoons.
Drunk Sailor with funny voice: You best be going quickly, the beast be coming soon.
Chorus: The beast, It comes. The beast, It comes. The beast be coming soon!
(The next line should involve the shark showing up and singing a villiainous tune)
Exactly. It would be like playing punk rock to a music hall crowd of that time. They wouldn't know what they were hearing.
Hail the queen of Bongo Bongo land.
"Bongo bongo bongo!"
My favorite G&S collab is of course Jonathan Candlestring.
"I've heard it said you smote my child
Upon his fair and dainty brow"
"Alas my lord, you've heard it true
I struck him and won't hide it now"
"O scoundrel vile! O treachery!
Why have you giv'n my heir your sting?"
"He slew the dog and stole the carriage
Of none other than Jonathan Candlestring"
Finally a tune you can hum!!! Bongo bongo bongo bongo....
i can't help feeling that the writer wasn't a fan of utopia, ltd...
No sensible person is a fan of Utopia, Ltd!
Why, a blunderbuss fired from the wharf, unless I'm much mistaken!
did nobody notice the last one happened twice?
No.
@@lolus8974 That comment was from 6 years ago what are you doing
Edit: 9 years ago
@@cowboyjohnn Hold my beer:
No.
@@MandleRoss what?
@@cowboyjohnn What what?
Oh, it DID!?? I thought I'd accidentally pulled the dot back.
It should of course be: "The question you are asking yourself, is how many times has he discharged *his* blunderbuss?"!
@Sythofin How many times has he discharged his blunderbuss?
Methinks gilbert and sullivan were amnesiac time travellers.
@Schnorbs That was a blunderbuss though, not an arquebus.
They should do a take on Rodgers & Hammerstein as well 😂
'As we say "Bongo, bongo, bongo, bongo,bongo !" in bongo, bongo,bongo BongoLand ! '
This operetta, "BongoLand", has potential. A combination of the story of Pres. Omar Bongo of Gabon and Pres. Bob Mugabe of Zimbabwe.
2:24 a perfect summary of marvel and dc in 2023
I'd watch bongo bongo
Why is the third sketch repeated?
see! M&W is comedy for clever people!
Is it just me, or did it repeat itself?
Bongo, bongo, bongo, bongo....
intentional or not, I like the reference to the very odd scenes in Star Trek Insurrection... nice commentary on how Yellow face is acceptable in Makado but is clearly racist by today’s standards.
What, you mean other than the clear reference to the Albert Popwell scene ( six shots or only five ) after the attempted hold up? Not sure what you're getting at.
@@andrewlockett4569 Thanks. I’m not sure what I I was referring to I probably wrote that at 3 o’clock in the morning using Siri dictation
. The point I was making was that the skit about Bongo bongo land is smart in that it refers to The debated racism of the Makado through today’s lens. I think I was wondering if there’s a smart subtext to the Dirty Harry sketch that I missed or whether it’s a just straight up riff.
Kind of reminds me of Horrible Histories.
What is this FROM??? This is hilarious! Gilbert and Sullivan are funny in the first place. but to add STAR TREK?? And all that other stuff. I wanted to see the one about the giant shark.
'That Mitchell and Webb Look'. There are four series, all can be found on RUclips.
Owen Davies has uploaded the entire show to RUclips in 4K.
'put the white man in the pot and eat him' lol
As a G&S fan this makes me chuckle 😂
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
You know, I actually saw Starship Pinafore. No joke, thats actually something that got done, and it really really sucked.
hazface - if it was a question of English you'd have a good point. But, it's not a question of English. The *whole* point of the sketch is that Gilbert and Sullivan are presaging 1970s films - in this case, Dirty Harry. And the scene being parodied was the police officer (Callahan) speaking to the would-be robber and saying "I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five? ....".
That's what I think, anyway. ;-)
I don't understand. Why at 3:30 does it go back to 2:20 all over again and repeat itself exactly?
And the girl with the demon inside that was discharged by a vicar
Why do so many sketches in Mitchell & Webb Look revolve around people centuries ahead of their time?
The brick should instead be a dog with a note attached
Of course, if it had been "arquebus" instead of "blunderbuss"...
Assuming the blunderbuss one is meant to be Pirates Of Penzance? 😂
Dirty Harry
@yourverysilly You're very silly.
If you give the public the same types of plots, characterisations and attitudes they are used to, you have a greater chance of success. In Victorian times, musical operettas were the "comfort food" entertainment of the (upper)-middle classes. Giving the public proto-versions of 20th century entertainment would have been so mystifying to them that they would have become hostile. Giving them colonial-type racism mixed with all the other attitudes they grew up with would have been far more popular.
And now the "comfort food" is garbage reality TV and terrible sitcoms with laugh tracks, not sure how much we've progressed.
Sullivan would have said:
"I just don't know what the public want anymore"
not
"I just don't know what the public wants anymore"
Old fashioned grammar was certainly more restrained.
And certainly more plural.
"I just don't know WHAT the public WAnts anymORE."
"CUT!"
I might just be wanking off my brain here, but I think it's partly due to the excellent blackadder performance. Edmund Blackadder was a contemporary man in ridiculous times and that narrative sounds very inspiring. You have the whole history of humanity in which to plop down some contemporary people and from the following interaction between the ages, so to speak, hilarity ensues.
UKIP would have liked the third play
Sean Bateman soyboy alert
Aye, they would.
@@spo666tty Another Trump heiler I see. Thinking that anyone who criticises the far-right is somehow pathetic, even though its not our side who screams Trump is always in the right as he does it.
@@MrThorfan64 Thinking everyone remotely right of you is literally Hitler is equally pathetic
@@zenksren8206 I don't think so. But UKIP are a pretty racist party undeniably.
