Have to agree, pitch perfect. Charlie Higson is a fantastic comedian, pity he was overshadowed by Paul and Simon (who are both world class comic actors) on the Fast Show as he's excellent in his own right.
@@roberth1322 I don't think he was "overshadowed" as such, iirc he has stated that he was more interested in writing and being behind the camera than acting in front of it. Have you ever heard his old band The Higsons?
"Quare together when cameras aren't shooting and wives aren't looking like a couple of probable quares" - my absolutely favourite line from these skits.
Absolutely no word of a lie, David Cameron has seen my boyfriend (an incorrigible quare) in the nude Story time: this was on the evening of the day that Cameron had announced his resignation as Prime Minister. My partner, a part time quare, had a girlfriend at the time who was from a rather wealthy rural Oxfordshire family. They were at her house doing exactly what you would expect when the girl's parents got home earlier than expected, with a dinner guest So my partner goes to the bathroom to piss. The door isn't locked. It opens. Stark bollock naked, they turn around... and see David Cameron staring back at them So about half an hour later there's my partner, very much not a Tory, is eating dinner across from David Cameron, on the most embarrassing day of Cameron's career, having just accidentally flashed him
@@brendandmcmunniii269 if the anecdote is worth anything, it is as evidence that Cameron is not a quare, for he was not happy with the sight of an unexpected cock and balls
stephen noonan Well.....if Bunny's married and he's a quare....? Yes, so, this Stewart person...he has the hair of a quare. He probably sounds like a quare although we haven't actually Heard him. He's married and Bunny's married and Bunny's a quare....so I should put him down as a "closet quare" - is there such a thing?
@@dr.2335Now listen... if I may interject.....if one of the pare of you is married and looks like a quare and the other sounds like a quare but isn't married and is probably a quare I dare say Bunny who is a definite quare would conclude that probably the pare of you are definitely quare.
This stuff was just as good, maybe even better, than the classic Harry Enfield And Chums series I grew up watching. A very creative and extremely funny "second wind". And Enfield's talents as an impressionist really seemed to have blossomed over the years.
You are absolutely still allowed this stuff on TV. It isn't making fun of queer people, its having a go at posh gits. It's punching up, not down. Your inability to distinguish between tasteful jokes involving queer people, and jokes attacking queer people paints you as a bit insensitive.
@@decam5329 , He should have came out in the days when being quare was not socially accepted,Then he could have some credibility. He waited until no one cares wether he is quare or anything fckn else , Deffinately NOT brave, total wanka
The other night I randomly thought of this when I was telling one of my friends on messenger about someone who had upset me, and my friend said the person sounded "like a c##t", I sent my friend the link and we were laughing our heads off! Now we have this conversation, but replacing Quare with c##t whenever someone upsets one of us... Hilarious. We have SUCH a laugh! 🤣
Funny of you to pick up on the ‘Roberts radio reference’ Robert. I’ve no doubt that’s because you’re probably a Quare. Please post a picture of both your hair and your clothes, to confirm it.
The real question here is did they get those ears from the LOTR/Hobbit sets, "Leprechaun" or from Billy Crystal and Carol Cane's outcast Jews in "Princess Bride"?
Besides copy-write infringement, why would this be removed? Your comment suggests to me that you didn't understand the joke in the sketches, so let me explain for you. The joke isn't "haha this person might be gay", the joke is actually "haha look at these silly old fossils speculating on who might be gay, isn't homophobia silly". In my opinion, the joke is obvious, but to those who try to find "things that might offend snowflakes", it may go over their heads.
Over in Northern Ireland "quare" means quite, in some countryside localities, and is used in general polite conversation. Although this might probably just mean it's secret chat to account for them being all quares, especially all the Protestants in Ballymena. All 20000 of them are frightful quares.
@@tomvandaalen273 Tom, to be fair to Big Ian, he hasn't looked at much in a while. Unless you mean his son, and he's probably in Sri Lanka, where he can't see any Catholics at all. Anne Heseltine's a very attractive woman, isn't she?
@@tomvandaalen273 I think the Frightful Young Quares' second album, "Quaring for Britain" suffered from Second Album Syndrome. Pity, as their first was so quaringly good. To be honest even the title was a bit try-hard, no wonder it was a failure. I think three of the members, guitar, bass and drums, went on to form Blossoms, so at least a happy ending ensued. The singer, a jumped-up country boy, is in LA now, and is an embittered racist.
The huge ears, the pronunciation of queer as quare, like the B B C always say ' yaar ' for year. Someone in the production team has been to a club in St. James's .
Does anyone know if there's a copy online of the final sketches in this series, where they make fun of their real life personalities? ("Have you heard of Paul Whitehouse?" and "Have you heard of Harry Enfield?")
"This Sadiq Khan, is he a quare?" "Well he looks like a quare and sounds like a quare" "Well if he looks like a quare and sounds like a quare then I'd say he's probably a quare!"
What brought me here was someone using it as a voice over recently for footage of Rees 'Cheaper food, clothing & Footwear' Mogg, the frightful Quare speaking in the commons

The giant ears get me every time.
Ooooh yes ☺️
What giant ears? 😉
Inspired by HRH Charlie
The expressions, the accents, the body language, the dialect. So funny time after time, never fails to make me smile.
They've probably been a quare for ooh, 40, 45 years 😁
Absolutely brilliant
Probably 40,40, 45,45,45,45,45,40 years
Michael Heseltine has hair like a quare and wears flamboyant double-breasted suits like a quare.
But he's been married for about 40 yares, 45 yares, 40 yares, 45 yares...
Yes, he's married to Anne, who's a very attractive woman.
Never gets boring, watched it dozens of times
Watching it now for the umpteenth time like a probable quare
@@starwarsroo2448 you probably look like a quare and sound like a quare and watch it like a quare, so probably a quare- Bunny

Probably a partmtime quare when your wife isnt looking and the cameras arent rolling.
Thats because you're probably a quare.
"She's very happy for me to quare away like billio." Perfect.
Its "billyo" you quare
Can I have Bunny's 'televishhhun' as a ringtone? Priceless.

It was ad libbed at some point, thats comedy, say stuff and then see if its funny, adjust and repeat

I love bunny's answers and delicious use of language xx
"He's married, of course" - fell out of my chair.
I think Harry Enfield actually steals this one!

Those sort of people always seem to have gigantic ears.
Thank you for a great compilation of hilarious clips. Quare. Why is it funny? It just is. Fabulous comedians.
Perfect comment. It just is.
Comedy gold. Also, what makes it even funnier is that the famous people they mention sound and act like they do!
And they looks like they do
So I feel like the funniest part is how even Barney doesn't think Sir Elton John is a quare!
He must be, he has Covid-19. Doesn't sound like a quare on the wireless, however.
Wonder if they suspected Philip Schofield as a quare?
A rank homosexual!

A quare, but stunning and brave.

Everytime they turn the newspaper around to show a benign photo of a guy they think is a quare is hilarious
3.07....the best ever "quare" pronunciation of the word "television" ever!
This is very funny, brilliant actors
You quare!
What i love about this is its feels so beautifully observed but ...it makes no sense at all 😄
Not had much experience with the elders of the British "establishment", I take it?!

How on earth do they carry on without completely cracking up...🌷
We all know poeple like the Bucket woman, and these chaps
Hilarious ! Love Bunny too.
I always thought his name was "Barney"!
I shall put you down as a probable quare
I love how they took they extra mile with Michael Gove. Who according to Bunny is a quare,
And he should know, he quares away like billyo.
"Right well I shall put him down as a queer, and add an asterix here saying footnote: wife's breasts gropable." XD
