I'll say this for Hyacinth, she never held a grudge about the breaking of the teacups. She was really quite a good person at heart, she just had an obsession with, well, Keeping Up Appearances.
OMG....serving biscuits with no doiley!! ...? Gosh what a calamity, people will talk! :-D Love how Hyacinth has already snatched the biscuits out of their hands before they even have time to react
Hyacinth Bucket: the archetypal, social climbing woman of a certain age. Always talking. Never listening. Always in possession of a list of dreaded tasks for other people to do. Simultaneously hyperactive but completely disengaged. Obsessed with meaningless things and oblivious to meaningful ones. Upbeat and smiling but unable to and disinterested in inducing that feeling in others. Patricia Routledge nailed it.
My favorite scenes from the series are when the Church Hyacinth belongs to is having meetings, and the other female Church members are rejoicing that Hyacinth is not at the meeting. Then word spreads that Hyacinth is on her way to the meeting. Their reaction, going instantly from pure joy to terror, "Ohhh, THAT Bucket woman! Quick, hide!" is hilarious. Also, the Vicar of the Church always goes out of his way, to avoid talking with Hyacinth!
@@oliverscreen2456 lol lol yes, and the correct spelling too, either Bouquet or Bucket. But we can't help loving Ms. Hyacinth. Thanks. Fruitful and joyful day/week/weekend.
00:28 The look Richard gives Elizabeth, he’s thinking “I know Liz, I know, I’ve been married to the woman for 40 years, I know” 😂😂 I loved how Richard could easily sympathise with Liz and Emmet but at the end of the day he still tolerated Hyacinth
Another time was when Elizabeth, at the sound of the phone, accidentally gave an elbow to Emmet, who spilled his coffee on himself and Hyacinth, rushing to the phone, said: "It's alright, it hasn't run all over my furniture, or anything that matters."
Happier times. Golly Golly.... I was just a kid and this LEGEND had my attention across the pond here in AMERICA 🇺🇲 SHE touches the lives of everyone she encounters and her memory will THRIVE in our hearts FOREVER.
I love seeing all these comments from Americans who loved the show. I'm English and watched it with my parents in the 90s, we loved it too. The humour is based on our class system so I had assumed only English people would find it funny but it looks like it resonates with people from all over the world.
Elizabeth is the consummate, neurotic victim, and Emmet truly does not care for Hyacinth. Richard is so patient with his wife, and Hyacinth is the most intolerant, narrow-minded although well-intentioned person. The cast was brilliant in this show, and I can never get enough of laughing at their antics. This is one of my favorite scenes!
Such a good twist on one of the great running gags that ran throughout the whole of KuA! 😂 You just knew in the coffee scenes that at some stage, one of Hyacinth’s Royal Dalton mugs was going to get broken (again!) and/or the biscuits will also go flying. It’s HOW the gag gets there that is just so clever and funny, reaching the crescendo with poor old Emmett who drops it this time. You feel Hyacinth doesn’t feel quite so disgruntled with Emmett though as she would have been, had it of been Elizabeth who dropped the cup (for the umpteenth time - bless her 😂). Yet initially she still blames Elizabeth anyway 😀
Very successfully in presenting the most hatred behavior of any common person in a funny and hilarious side of it. Watched it long long time ago and I still love to watch it again......good gracious, I love .... Hyacinth your marvelous act.
Loved this show. Never fails to raise a smile. The nostalgia! They don't make shows like this no more. Just good light fun, no vulgar language. I felt rather sorry for Mrs Bucket rather than annoyed by her antics. Was quite sad she needed to go to such lengths to achieve status. Must have been draining. If she'd been happy with her lot then she would have found more contentment and would be more likeable to others. To be fair her home was immaculate. A lot would kill for her house like that. She should've been more proud of it. She had a good husband and always dressed well. 🐱👍
Great comments! 👍Good Show, no vulgar language: The loss of the high-quality dishes 🫖and the well-kept furnishings symbolizes the loss of well-groomed language and manners. ☹️
One of the many things I love about the show is how beautiful Hyacinth's house looks. Like you, I'd love to have a house like hers. She makes it so beautiful and elegant-looking.
@@nicholaslawrence6926 Oh I know. I wish houses still had that elegance. Hyacinth was an excellent housekeeper, utterly spotless. Just a shame friends of hers couldn't enjoy it. Hyacinth always strived for better without realising that what she had was perfect enough.
The timing is perfect, notice how she doesn't deliver the line all in one go, like the last line... 'eventually' . It is not only very well written, but also so well timed.
😂I love the way that character Richard wasn't going along with the art critics in the room at the time while not trying too hard to hard to hide his amusement at the time concerning how put upon those art critics in the room looked there at the time.
I love me some Hyacinth, Mrs Buckét (Bouquèt) #Keeping Up Appearance. Poor Elizabeth and Emmet, I would dread to be Hyacinth's neighbour, lol lol I would dugged a under ground tunnel just to not encounter Hyacinth, but I love her, remind my grandma, she will correct, be critical of choice of clothes just to pick up the mail a few steps from the house, you better polish up she say if you want a husband, always stay sharp is her motto; God bless her heart, I say.
And your Grandmother was the generation of sharpness and very little of idiots that existed..unlike post December 25th 2019 15+ years old. Teach em young your Grandmother and my father’s generation of people did and attention to the children was pretty good. They were better people even if they were at times too heavy handed in punishment (well I can for sure vouch that my father was and being an alcoholic was an evil facet in his parenting abilities) as they mainly didn’t open threat a punishment. It was executed more due to no one telling others how to parent and not to physically punish your children. Only to have wayward children and ones that are thick in the head as two brick in the brains lol 😂
I always told my sister when watching this that I would LOVE to live next to Hyacinth! She's always trying to do something, get people involved, contribute to society. I think she's fun. Would I be another Elizabeth? Uh - no. But I would def hang out with Hyacinth and Richard on occasion, plus - get to live in a beautiful home in a relatively safe, upscale, lovely neighborhood full of old monied people where something is always going on.
I’m soo sorry Hyacinth I can’t join you for coffee this morning, I’ve got a dreadful bout of diarrhea and I’m afraid I’m going to be engaged with the loo for the rest of the day. 😳 Oh we..we..well these things do happen. Perhaps when your inner workings decide to be a bit more cooperative you’ll join us for an evening tea and bon bon in the lounge. Yes.. Perhaps.
He just tossed the cup and right away Hyacinth assumes it was Liz. “No doily” oh no, who cares! Always with her china..I swear she’s like my last mini schnautzer…always hyper.
NO DOILEY!!!!! Hyacinth really shows her stuff in this one......what a great actress for British comedy;
I'll say this for Hyacinth, she never held a grudge about the breaking of the teacups. She was really quite a good person at heart, she just had an obsession with, well, Keeping Up Appearances.
She did give someone who broke a cup the short end of the turkey. LOL!
£40 each and irreplaceable! 😆
👌🏼
As she says, accidents _will_ happen.
@@enthusedtosing9655 as long as no clothes were ruined she was pretty chill
I don't know how hyacinth manages to say everything without laughing
I think it would take a couple of takes.
We only see the successful takes!
"Oh my god"... "no doilies"... and abruptly she takes the biscuits from their hands... LMFAOL.
What if they had put in their mouths? 🤔🤔🤔
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
i just love elizabeth's reaction. she's like "now you know how it feels." xD
Exactly right 😟
😃
Elizabeth is terrorised by her dear next door neighbour Lady Hyacinth Bucket. 😂😂😂😂😂
Emmet smashing the cup instead of Elizabeth was the greatest plot twist of all times! 😂
Hyacinth is an icon.Absolutley love her I have watched these episodes so many times and never tire of her.💜😂
OMG....serving biscuits with no doiley!! ...? Gosh what a calamity, people will talk! :-D
Love how Hyacinth has already snatched the biscuits out of their hands before they even have time to react
One MUST....Keep Up Appearances!
Just HILARIOUS 🤣
Absolutely adore this show 💚

It is so funny how Elizabeth and Emmett always manage to break hyacinths china. The look on Elizabeth's face is priceless 🤣
Hello, Danielle,
How are you doing today?
Emmet was such a great character!
Oh yes, you could almost feel how genuinely terrified of Hyacinth he was!
Emmet was horrified by Hyacinth
I love how Hyacinth, Mrs Buckét (Bouquèt) pulled the nerves ends of everyone with such ease leaving them on hedge before, during and after
It's Bouquet...
It’s Bouquet lol poor Richard and Elizabeth,she can hold a cup anyone else but hyacinth.
You remembered the ' accent on the second syllable' in bucket
@@Ezyasnos
Good day, thanks for correction.
Fruitful and joyful day/week/weekend.
@@oliverscreen2456
lol lol yes, and the correct spelling too, either Bouquet or Bucket. But we can't help loving Ms. Hyacinth.
Thanks. Fruitful and joyful day/week/weekend.
"it's not the only thing that doesn't strike the right note!" 😂
Ha ha ha ha ha 🤣😂
2:07 - such a fantastic actress. just seeing the anguish in her face at her faux pas.
This show is so brilliant.
Remember it is not a Show,it is a Comedy
Shows and Comedies are totally different from each other
I will say this for Hyacinth. She seems to be happy all or most of the time
Now Emmet knows how poor Elizabeth feels 😂😂😂.
Liz was like now Emmet how you feel😂
00:28 The look Richard gives Elizabeth, he’s thinking “I know Liz, I know, I’ve been married to the woman for 40 years, I know” 😂😂 I loved how Richard could easily sympathise with Liz and Emmet but at the end of the day he still tolerated Hyacinth
Richard has the patience of an elephant.
"OOH NO DOILY!" 🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Emmet's facial expressions crack me up
Another time was when Elizabeth, at the sound of the phone, accidentally gave an elbow to Emmet, who spilled his coffee on himself and Hyacinth, rushing to the phone, said: "It's alright, it hasn't run all over my furniture, or anything that matters."
Love how Josephine Tewson (Liz) couldn't contain her laughing at the end 😂
Me too 🤣
That was scripted
Absolutely loved this show, particularly when Hyacinth family came to visit 😂😂❤️❤️
Hello, Geraldine,
How are you doing today?
An absolutely epic show ❗❤️❗❤️
Which episode was it please
Elizabeth is dying laughing lmao
Hello, Sean,

Hyacinth must have had 3 dozen cups seeing Elizabeth broke at least one every other episode 😂
Imagen how much fun these people have before shooting the scene. In real life, they love each other
I love how liz and emmet always drop hyacinths china and she always somehow makes them feel bad
The doily part shocked me also 😂 why are you taking my cookies!.
1:57 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Patricia Routledge is a comedic gem
British Comedy is SO MUCH BETTER THAN American. Anyone agree with me?
In the 1970s and 80s and early 90s. These days comedies are woke and plain stupid.
@@viewfromeastnwest Yep
@izabellamchrath: It all depends on the show. FRASIER, MAUDE, CHEERS are American and superb.
Absolutely!!!!!!!!
Yes alot better

Don’t naval Commodores like flags ? We’ve only got a Chinese one ‘ wasn’t that Siamese ‘ ?
No that’s South Pacific ! Brilliant ! 😂😂😂😂
Hyacinth is a national treasure...
'Oooooohhh, no doily' I don't know why I find that so funny

lmao i love how into her singing she is. absolutely nuts.
ELIZAB...!
Loved this show, never missed a show!
Yeah I am the same. Sitcoms today are nowhere near as good. You can't even laugh at them.
More like what's this rubbish.

Does Hyacinth have to keep buying new cups? It seems like one gets broken in almost every episode.😂
Poor Richard and neighbors! What did they do to suffer the bad luck of Hyacinth?
Ah! I just love her! :)
Imagine if they all ran away one day. What would she do? Lol
Eliza... Looks to see Emmet has dropped it haha 😂
I love Hyacinth!!!
Poor Emmett!
She sang at him!!!
Hello, Janet
How are you doing today?
"ELIZABpfffff". Brilliant!
This is one of my favourite scenes by far.
Hello, Hannah,
How are you doing today?
A real pleasure to take a cup of tea with Hyacint. 🤩
I'm told by many that I'm this woman all over again LMAO 😁🤔...
Am sure the stains will come out, hmmm then the pause..... the bomb is dropped..... eventually!!!
In true Hyacinth style. She’s so passive aggressive as 😎
I’m going to hurt myself from laughing so hard. She is an awful character, but I find it endearing in a way.
😂 I just love Hyacinth
😂I love the way that character Richard wasn't going along with the art critics in the room at the time while not trying too hard to hard to hide his amusement at the time concerning how put upon those art critics in the room looked there at the time.
Love it when she sings. Hilarious 😂💯🇬🇧
"I'm afraid to see Hyacinth! She'll sing at me!"
I just love this show 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
1:04 lol... david Griffin was outstanding here, never fails to make me laugh
That clip is from my favourite Keeping Up Appearances episode The Commodore
Where’s the press ?? 😂
"KEEP DRIVING VICAR...KEEP DRIVING!" 😆
This was my favourite show back in the day always watched it with mum also a show called BREAD was very funny I loved it
"Shall we put a few flags out?"
Lovely Evelyn Waugh reference, Hyacinth is a very Evelyn Waugh type of character
2:39 the actress playing Elizabeth starts to laugh here and tried valiantly to hide it.
The fear on his face is priceless. 😂
Who knew coffee could cause. PTSD?
Hello, Maureen,
How are you doing today?
Richard, Emmet and Liz huddle together for moral support 😂😂😂😂😂
Elizabeth: She's got you! You'll never lift a coffee cup in that house again!
🤣 I forgot how nervous Elizabeth was
This one of the best!! 😂
My aunt is like this but not where she shrieks and you can't drink coffee 😂🤣😂
Just as long as wasn't the Royal Doultons with the hand painted periwinkles 😅
One of these days, Emmet is going to strangle Hyacinth and nobody will come to her rescue
What a fantastic actress, a great show
Not the hand painted periwinkle royal doulton...😢
The British sea is in my blood too. 😅😅😅
❤😂🎉 one my fav episodes!!😅
This show was priceless. I miss it tremendously
I love me some Hyacinth, Mrs Buckét (Bouquèt) #Keeping Up Appearance.

Hello Sarah
Merry Christmas
These shot ..or short film always put me in the right mood ..... Just great Thanks a lot.
Omg my aunt is exactly the same except she puts a coaster down even if there's a plate of biscuits 😂
Had a friend like that. Miss her
😂 Poor Elizabeth!
At the end when Jo is laughing, I can't tell if she's breaking character or if she was supposed to laugh. Either is possible!
Любимая актриса, любимый сериал 😍👍🌹🌹🌹
That was South Pacific…. hilarious.
Anyone with common sense would run a mile away if they saw her.
The actress who plays Elizabeth had so much trouble keeping a straight face at the end. lol
If you get your china out for any old occasion, you're kind of asking for it. I'd be requesting a thick coffee mug and Pyrex plate.
Always love how is goes Eliza then quickly stops herself. As she used to Elizabeth breaking the China.
you missed the part where Elizabeth said “she’s got you you’ll never be able to hold a mug in that house again“
Too funny 😂😂😂😂😂
I doubt any lady is like hyacinth these days . Nobody tolerates it like richard
Hahaahahahaha oh my days so so British!
Emmet always tried to hide from her!
Poor Richard was a nice old Dude
