Roger Lloyd Pack was a seriously underrated actor. He was actually super smart. Only a smart actor can play as a stupid character. Legend!!! RIP Roger Lloyd Pack
Agreed. RLP was also a very well respected Shakespearean actor.
@@DavidLPeel He also trained at RADA.
He was also excellent in the vicar of dibley
Agreed . He was a great actor. Rip trig
His timing and delivery were absolutely impeccable.
We have an old saying... 'Look after your broom'.
'And your broom will look after you?'
No Dave, it's just - 'Look after your broom'.
Great writing. Great acting.
Trigger's Broom is now considered a classic example of an ancient philosophical paradox.
he deserved an MBE at least for maintaining that broom!
If only he were around to realise this, if i were in his shoes i'd love to see how my character became the face of the paradox
(Not sure if that makes sense, if this comment is still here tomorrow then it probably does)
@@Ben-ht2cv he was around to realise it. It wasn't that long ago he died.
@@Fireglo He passed almost 6 years ago, as far as i'm aware there are no "trigger's broom" references in relation to the Ship of Theseus paradox with any sort of noticable publicity before he died
@@Ben-ht2cv what do you consider "noticeable publicity" exactly? It was mentioned in most obituaries as it was already a popular joke and was voted number 10 in Top 10 Only Fools and Horses moments well before he died.
20 years, a long time dave. Well it's 2 decades ain't it? I wouldn't go that far LOL
Love it
Believe it or no, I learned English watching only fools and horses . Loved it still love it 😊
Classic trigger
Trigger was such a legend I wish I had a mate like him lol
@@kosovaisalbania3720 that's awesome
Two decades, if that doesn't kill you, nothing ever will. Pure genius, RIP Trig
I wouldn’t go that far Dave
@@thehulkster2434 cheers mate
I had privilege watching all british comedy in Yugoslavia because yugoslavian national tv-broadcaster bought everything from BBC and never dubbed anything, that shaped my sense of humour...
I can only assume you have a great sense of humour then.
Which country now?
I loved this show , especialy this scene
Elmar Jukic tako je Elmare! Pozdrav iz Tuzle.
Ron Irvine now Bosnia and Herzegovina, back than Yugoslavia! Only fools and horses, Alo Alo, You rang milord, Monty Python’s flying circus, ....
I could watch this scene a million times and it would still make me laugh. Brilliant writing and brilliant actors,
I know, I'm actually laughing before the punch line.
Its comedy gold
Hi dave 🤣🤣
Total, total, total, classic.
RIP John Challis. He's in heaven drinking wirh Mike and Trigger listening to his broom story
And Uncle Albert's navy anecdotes.
@@geoffpoole483 during the war 🤣
Eating grandads terrible cooking
I love how the old paradox “The Ship of Theseus” has now been replaced by “Trigger’s Broom”
To save anyone else googling! "The Ship of Theseus" is a thought-provoking philosophical paradox and a famous topic of discussion in metaphysics. It raises questions about identity and change. The paradox goes like this:
Imagine a ship, known as the Ship of Theseus, that over time has had all of its wooden parts replaced with new ones. Eventually, every single part of the ship has been replaced. Is it still the same ship, or has it become a completely different entity?
@@AM2K2 I couldn’t have said it better myself!
Could also use The Sugababes as an example too
They just don't make em like that anymore, the last of good old British comedy, R I P Trig, you was absolutely brilliant mate 👍 ♥️😂🇬🇧
I second that, never be another. RIP mate. miss you
Inbetweeners is up there too
@@GoIdenApple Why must every youtube video have some triggered conservative losing his shit over something lol
Eh... Little Britain? IT Crowd? Mighty Boosh?
@@cov9290 Yep Inbetweeners, The Office and OFAH are quality mate.
Also, RIP Roy Heather (20 May 1935 - 3 September 2014) - well remembered for playing cafe owner Sid. Even though the roles offered were sadly small, Roy showed versatility and displayed screen presence - such as the assassin Lowe in the 1985 tv series Edge of Darkness. Thanks for the memories Roy.
I absolutely loved Sid especially when he had a cig in his mouth when dealing with food.
@@AmberPandaSid: “‘Ere, why didn’t you ask me to do the sandwiches?”
Del: “ Well, the answer is perfectly simple, Sid. We intend to eat ‘em.”
Sid: “ fair enough.”
@@limpet7r63 LOL....
Without a doubt one of the most iconic sketches in British comedy history. Right up there with Four Candles and the Dead Parrot sketch. Trigger called Rodney Dave for over 20 years and it never got tired. The quality of the physical acting is also at the highest level. Roger Lloyd-Pack could say more with an expression than most actors with a line of dialogue. Same of course with Del Boy falling through the bar. If you look back through the greatest British comedy shows it's often the physical acting that stands out. John Cleese in Fawlty Towers, Rowan Atkinson in Blackadder, Joanna Lumley in Ab Fab, Fry and Laurie in Jeeves and Wooster. You can watch any of these sketches a thousand times and they never get old. RIP Roger.
It's like 'cwyin' ....you know it's coming....but it's still hilarious 😂😂😂
" how the hell can it be the same bloody broom then.....Well here's a picture of it, what more proof do you need " 😄😁 trigger was a legend .
@@lfc945 thank you 🙏
@@lfc945 yes I’m UK
@@lfc945 no I’m Ayrshire Scotland
@@lfc945 lol
@@lfc945 what you mean ?
This scene is pure comedy gold. So many good lines in just 3 minute. I wouldnt go that far line still cracks me with same intensity like first time i watched it. Just brilliant.
Yip.Comedy gold for sure.
Roger Lloyd Pack was an absolute legend, a comic genius. Can watch him over and over again, brilliant! R.i.p Trigger!! ⭐
Only Trigger could pull the broom scene off.
John White fantastic comedian, for me he made that programme. What a loss.
*Alright, Dave?*
@Richie Summers
Fuck off you miserable little turd.
Actually, Ronnie Barker pulled it off around 5 years PREVIOUS in 'Open All Hours'......more or less, word for word!
Barry Allen but it took a while, as Arkwright stuttered. 😂
The Trigger's Broom paradox. Also known as the Sugababes paradox.
also known as the ship of theseus.
"Then how the hell can it be the same bloody broom then?"
lol Sid.
British comedy at its very best.
The funniest sitcom of all time, everyone talked about it at work/in the pub the next day, week, month and went over the best lines again.This is one of the best ever scenes, and to this day people of a certain generation still refer to 'Trigger's broom'.
yep, more people know what "triggers broom" means now than "ship of Theseus", even though its essentially the same question.
0:17... See..thats me!
Rodney: Oh that's you is it Trig? I'm glad you cleared that up 🤣
Boycie's insult and Trigger's respons is hilarious
Trig was a superb actor. RIP Roger. We have kids that are sometimes moody teens. To snap them out of it I always put this clip on. It turns the mood to laughter straight away. Thanks Trig and the other extremely talented cast. Also to John who was the writer RIP
Trigger was an absolute genius! He didn't even need to act. His expression and body language said it all. Poor Linda still crying because he didn't invite her to the hotel with him🤣🥳
“How the hell can it be the same bloody broom then?”
"Trigger": "Here's a photo of me, with Councillor Murray, what more proof do you need" ?.
Ship of Theseus paradox
Twenty years that's a long time Dave ....... yeah that's two decades ......... I wouldn't go that far!! 😂😂😂 Pure comedy genius.
“Well, here’s a picture of it! What more do you need?”
Probably the most ticked off Trigger’s ever sounded!
I love how Del sits there trying to figure out Trigger's Logic but Sid just questions it XD
Wandavision: "are you familiar with the paradox of the ship of Thesesus"
Me: _Trigger's Broom_
This is exactly what i thought of when i saw that scene and came here....
@@scapingby Yes! Same with me, I would be hard pressed to find an Englishman who didn't think of Trigger's Broom during that episode.
I came here looking for this comment, lmao.
@@TheGuruOfNothingness o m
He was one of the funniest characters in comedy.
Brilliantly played.
Roger Lloyd-Pack was a classically-trained actor; he'd appeared in many Shakespeare plays. Comeic acting is difficult for all sorts of reasons, one of which is the subjectivity of the audience. roger Lloyd-Pack was a master of his craft.
Totally! What a legend he is and was.
The deadpan delivery... 👏😏
Yeah, it’s 2 decades!
Well I wouldn’t go that far 🤣
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 🇬🇧
A thousand years from now, archaeologists will discover Trig's broom, still intact
A hundred decades!
@@Hannah-cf4ev I wouldn't go that far dave
😂😂😂
& well maintained too.
With 25 heads and 43 handles
We're sorry to see you go Boycie.
Roger Lloyd-Pack, such a brilliant actor, such a tragic loss. RIP mate.
I love this - still laugh, however many times I watch it! 17 heads and 14 handles 😂😂
A classic scene. It takes nearly three minutes to set up the punchline (much like Ronnie Corbett's monologues) where there are 9 other smaller jokes to keep the viewers engaged. Even though we all know the joke is coming, it's still funny. So much so that I'd love to be able to go back in time and watch all these episodes for the first time.
“Oh, that’s you, is it, Trig? I’m glad you cleared that up.”
LOL! Love Rodney’s sarcasm!
" see.... that's me"
" oh that's you is it" that's got me weak 😂
😂😂😂😂
Look after your broom.
Remember that.
Red Squirrel Rodney King of ruined that part. There should have just been silence
And your broom will look after you ...... No Dave, it's just "Look after your broom".
My father's favourite bit from Only Fools and Horses. I miss him and I love this bit too.
No matter how many times I watch this it still makes me laugh
“Maybe. But I still feel proud.”
Good on you, Trig! 😉👍
This helped me understand a key conversation in the finale of WandaVision.
Yep, me too!
Thought the same thing
Won't be surprised if it was Paul Bettany's idea since he's British 😁😁
Came here to post this comment 😂
@@TDKiller415 Paul didn’t write the script though did he
Only fools and horses never dies 😍
Something that always gets overlooked is the fact that Boycie, who clearly has money and some form of success, is still hanging around the same pub and cafe as the likes of del and trigger. Part showing off, part he doesn't fit in with the upper classes as much as he wants too preferring to be the one above everyone in the group.
I wouldn't say he was rich he came from the same background as del did, owns a second hand car dealership of witch most of the cars are Dodgy and has some very shady associates, yes he has a bit of money but no he was never "rich" he just liked to act as if he was
well yeah, a liquid millionaire working class guy is always going to end up in the same street and pub., just lording it. He wont fit in anywhere else. Michael Caine and Tom Jones tried moving classes with money, they failed. Loads of birds though.
Sullivan said in his books. Del and Rodney always had aspirations to get rich, but never forgot where they came from. Boycey on the other hand was just a working class snob, who looked down at his old friends.
Boycie, like all the characters in OFAH, were true to life.
bootstrap businessman, we used to call them.
This never gets old. Simple but brilliant.
"Maybe, but I still feel proud" LOL!
Triggers come back was to a t. 👍
This series is nothing short of genius!!!! I was born in 1982 so was fortunate to to have watched early repeats, shows that were on and some classic specials!!!!! Had some great family moments all sitting round howling at only fools and horses..!
Pure genius!!
All this time after and I still laugh as if it's the first time I have seen it.
Anyone here because of Wandavision? Theseus ship? Nah, Triggers broom.
What an absolute classic clip. Even after all the time the show had been running, they could still come up with this gem. Hilarious :D
"This old broom has had 17 new heads and 14 new handles".👍🤣😂 brilliant cracks me up every time and I have watched it millions of times.classic.😁
That reminds me I need to get a new head for me broom I might get a new handle while I'm at it! Look after ya broom!
Make sure you get fork handles....no no no four candles
It wouldn't be the same bloody broom afterwards. xD
Hilarious
The whole cast fit together perfectly lovely junket long live only fools and horses 👍👍👍
I meant lovely jubley not junket dip stick 👍👍
Andrew you plonker! Lol
Barty Crouch Sr. was just keeping it safe for Harry!
"Well how the hell can it be the same bloody broom then".
sweet
Love how he points at the picture and says "See, that's me!"
Genius writing and acting!!!,,Roger Lloyd Pack is sublime!!!...Will we ever see comedy like this again???... Rather doubtful sadly...
Brilliant actors, brilliant logic, brilliant series ...
How do I know it's the same broom?
Well there is a picture of what more proof you need! Omg honestly
RIP Boycie, John Challis was a phenomenal actor.
its amazing, if you read it it doesnt work, but to listen to it... fantastic and the punchline "here's a picture, what more do you want"
i feel so lucky to of grew up watching this
Watch Steptoe and son. Its funny too
Trigger and Boycie were both awesome characters👏👏👏
Triggers line ‘yeah but I still feel proud’ makes me cry
PURE G. O. A. T... what's brilliant about this and all of the series is the facial expressions of all the cast that makes this programme the best sitcom in British history, b possably the world.
I thought Trigger's best scenes were the ones about calling Rodney Dave at the tenants meeting and for the baby name. But this is unbelievable! My new favorite
Love how proud and impressed of him they are until it all sinks in
RIP Boycie. 😢
It ranks as one of the funniest sketches of all time, just in front of "Don't tell them Pike !"
Along with Fork Handles, along with Don't mention the War, along with Playing all the right notes but in the wrong Order, along with That's another fine Mess you got me into!"
Along with the 4 Candles sketch, by the 2 Ronnies. I love the Christmas specials of the 2 Ronnies.
The picture was just bloody brilliant Lool
British comedy in its golden age
I love how he pointed himself out in the photo! 😆😆
0:37 Trigger face in the picture is sooooo funny 🤣.
Trigger's suit in the photo is priceless.
I still watch it to this day, so funny
The backstory behind Trigger constantly calling Rodney Dave is as follows: It was never meant for Trigger. However, Roger Lloyd Pack in his early days suffered from rare mental condition that kept him forgetting names of characters around him. At first it really was Lloyd Pack unintentionally doing that, but in time his condition has improved. But, since Dave thing was simply perfect for Trigger, it was simply kept afterwards. In the first episode of the show, when Trigger and Rodney appear together for the first time, Trigger calling Rodney Dave was actually an ad lib by Lloyd Pack. This was confirmed by John Sullivan and Lloyd Pack.
This is my all time favourite scene from only fools and horses!
There is an even better one. Look for the clip with the blow up doll!😂
The Dave bit gets me every time 😂
John Challis gone but never Forgotten Boycie
Thank you for making us laugh
RIP
This sketch is just perfect comedy in every sense. Brilliant!
I was swept away by that broom joke :-)
Rip 😂
Ba-dum-tsh.
@@SpiderVenom12905 ...22 likes say the opposite :-)
I remember watching this clip as a kid.. still brilliant some 20 odd years later!
This and the one where they go on a trip to the seaside in a coach and it breaks down and they say along the lines of “how are we going to get there now” and trig says to hitchhike... “but there’s 27! Of us trig”
Good old Trigger. 😊
It takes a wise man to act the fool.
Absolute gold, I wish they gave Sid more screen time...he was brilliant
Roger Lloyd Pack superb timing and delivery.Rest easy Roger and thanks a million for the laughs.
Just imagine the amount of takes they must have done to keep a strait face incredible comedy
I reckon this will get much more popular after the WandaVision finale
Hilarious, RIP Trigger and Sid.
Just had to watch the classic scene again.
Wow, hadn't seen this for years and my memory of it was a very short scene with few lines.
However there are lots of good lines and the buildup to the punchline is slowly but brilliantly paced.
It shows what a fantastic cast of actors they had .Just wonder if David Jasons reaction to the punchline is him losing it or not,
that's how great he is!
Class! You never stop laughing when see this time and time again. You probably know the
words.
1:18 😂😂😂😂
“Maybe. But I still feel proud”
Trigger has to be my fave character...he's bloody hysterical!!
Anyone else just watch the WandaVision season Finale and think of this?
Yep, first thing that popped into my head,
Why how was this referenced in Wanda Vision ?
@@jackhamilton9604 when Vision discuses with Vision about the ship of Theseus in the final episode.
You could never have a scene like this, unless you have great actors.
Timeless Brit comedy at its very best!
Roger Lloyd Pack was a wonderful actor and very talented. Like Rik Mayall if Roger was in a serious drama in a serious role he pulled it off perfectly. That was truly a sad year since both died a few months of each other
My god after theses years I’m still laughing
See that's me... absolute classic!
😂😂
so many gems in this scene
