Just a glimpse of Paul Whitehouse's ears in this sketch makes me smile. Enfield and Whitehouse do approach genius. How they stopped themselves laughing in these programmes, I never knew!
"Go round his house and trick him into contravening article 73 of the UN security resolution so that he incurs the wrath of the worlds major military powers" 😂😂😂
United Nations Security Council Resolution 73, adopted on August 11, 1949, noted with satisfaction the Armistice Agreements between the parties involved in the 1948 conflict in Palestine and then expressed the hope that a final settlement of all questions outstanding between the parties might be achieved soon. Plumber wants to trick the husband into re-igniting the First Arab-Israeli War :D
The funny thing is Paul whitehouse was a handyman/Plasterer with Charlie Higsons when he met Harry Enfield and making it big. Still working as a handyman during the daytime and in a punk/funk band in the evenings, when his first comedy work came in, mostly writing for Harry initially. (They did work for Hugh Laurie's and Stephen Fry's house when they were spotted for their talent)
You wanna wake up really early in the morning and take his dog out for a really long walk so later he tries to take it out and he don’t want to go and he’s flummoxed.
That is exactly how those builders behave, well spoken or not so well spoken. You have a simple problem and they want charge 100x what it should cost you.
Harry Enfield got this to the tee (Big talker and dumb assistant team "professionals") Ah those were the good old days before you had youtube to check what the con merchant was saying was actually true! 😂 Plenty of those builders and plumbers around even now!
no, not really, that punch line would have been seen coming almost from the first. The punch line works because it was her husband AND it gets the hubby killed for doing a lousy job!
They were going to use two polish workers but it wouldn't be funny, because they would have just arrived, done the job really well, & cheaper , then left.
Paint your roof luv? Cor who done that din? We need to replace the tiles, downpipes n all Concrete your drive way luv Change your oil n filter luv Insulate your floor luv Top soil for the garden luv
I got away light with my Builder, he only wanted 6 sugars in his teas. I wonder if a proportionately high number of Builders suffer from Diabetes in later life? I suspect the Bacon Butties and large quantities of Lager doesn't help the figures.
It's just dawned on me that, if what my police friend says about crack heads is true, then Lee and Lance's penchant for sugar surely implicates them as crack heads! My whole life, a sweet innocent lie!
Nah, I'm told builders on sites used to make tea a very simple way. Boiled water, box of tea bags and a bag of sugar thrown together in a bucket. I had a great uncle took 4 teaspoons of sugar in his tea. He was called Eddie the Builder (there was more than one Eddie), but he was never a builder. He worked for the City Council's water & sewage dept.
@@capnskiddies nah a Cement mixer was used; specifically for making the tea. Had to be manned by 6 people one for the boiling water, one for the box of tea, one for the bag of sugar, one to turn on the cement mixer, one to keep the fire lit so it brewed and one to lean against a shovel. I was one of those men. Important job we had. Important job we did. Did we get any thanks? Nope. The cunts drank their tea without a thankyou or a ohh this tea is great.
@@pentuprager6225 Those 6 guys and no foreman to make sure the cement mixer's turning the right way? That's not up to code. Ought to be thrown out of the builder's guild.
@@pentuprager6225 I was at a tennis match once and there were only 2 tea bags and 8 people in need of tea. The 2 Scots present disappeared into the kitchen and returned with 8 very hot and strong cups of tea. Is this how?

Seems like an English class war sketch. You could turn this on its head and ask why a middle class householder would be so inept as to not know how to fix a dripping tap for themselves.
What you want to do, right, is go round to his house and paint all of his lightbulbs black, so that when he turns them on it gets darker and he goes round bumping into things.
Harry Enfield, and Paul Whitehouse, are brilliant,
BRRIIILLLLIIIIAAAAANNTT!!!!
The attention to detail is amazing. See how the simpleton is a Spurs fan? So realistic.
Coming from a gooner I wouldn't expect anything less.

Go round his house & paint all his light bulbs black so when he turns 'em on it actually gets darker...
That has kept me laughing for years..!!!

Nice
This sounds very familiar. I'm sure I've heard this in a comedy sketch before.
How much do you normally charge for a flummox?
This is what builders are actually like
When the BBC aired great comedy. This is pure comedy genius
They still do, you just don't watch it/your tastes have changed.
This is hardly "great comedy", either. It's a sketch show.
@@johnmartinez7440 Oh dear lol. You work in the canteen there yeah?

Theres absolutely no decent sketch show comedy anymore. I'm sure Little Britain was the last one.
its like everything. you dont realize what we had until its gone. its almost impossibe to find comedy anymore. funny is a thing long gone pal.
There's a lot of funny people doing their own comedy sketches on youtube so at least there's that.
Oh bore off
....yeah, there's always somebody offended these days, or it's unfunny woke stuff.
That was when a belly laugh was guaranteed!
I was waiting for her to say actually it’s the tap upstairs that’s leaking
She is so fit.
This is spot on. Just what my plumber told me.
Best sketch show ever
"Look at that lance...it's just come off in mi hand.." haha
It reminds me of the Father Ted episode.
15 sugars for me but don't stir it i don't like it sweet
Cowboy Builders, great show.
Who done that?!
So to hear, they are Americans
That is exactly how those builders behave, well spoken or not so well spoken. You have a simple problem and they want charge 100x what it should cost you.
Sam 2014 car mechanics too.
They don't charge you what a job is worth they charge what they think they can get out of you.....thieving bastards...
British comedy best in the world
I wish they would make a comeback show?

He's not - Lance is. Who is a thick cowboy builder.
It's been four years since the first comment and still no silver.
you mean the spurs that just lost to Liverpool?
Ohhhhh dear, dear old BBC. What did you do to your selves
As someone whose house actually had that problem ("had to redo the whole fing") because of a leak, this triggers me.
Writing down info on your cig packet, dont know why but that sent me back
yep there is an outside
I had one of those Raiders hats.

Ah classic cowboys on the job.
Miss these comedies. So where are the Harry Enfield & chums dvds.
Alrite love is your husband in? No! Good! Classic 😉

If you will not bankrupt on builders, you definitely will on tea cups.

Really funny this love it
You can tell they were on the tools before the telly
2:03 best part
Aaaaabsolute Maaaadddness! Love it.
Anyone think it was gonna be them that did the tiles?
Punch line should have been "but you did it last year"
no, not really, that punch line would have been seen coming almost from the first. The punch line works because it was her husband AND it gets the hubby killed for doing a lousy job!
That joke is in the sketch already.."Who done that? It wasn't us by the way, was it?"
They were going to use two polish workers but it wouldn't be funny, because they would have just arrived, done the job really well, & cheaper , then left.
*Fail*
Fun because true
and not paid any tax on their earnings
Must be two rare hard-working Poles then cos the two at my workplace are lazy cunts
If you have the right tools you can do it yourself. Just change the valve.
These two are actually originally builders aren't they? Met on a job...
Yes
Didn't they do Fry and Laurie's house once? Might have been only Charly and Paul
@@rbzvncnt Didn't realise Fry and Laurie lived together in a house.

Paul yes harry no. Distinctly a middle class boy
Paul was a plasterer
Hard to believe such great comedy ever existed on the BB woke C
I always wonder if Harry's reference to his mate "Gripper" was referencing Gripper Stebson
Love the Spurs shirt. COYS!
Paul is wearing his true colours a spurs fan
That was me when my bro was born "I mean oo dun nat "
I have dealt with these people
I mean OOO done that I mean OOOO done that.
Those were the days, when real comedy wasn't banned under UK speech laws
Presumably these are still the days, since most of this is on iPlayer
Jesus that hammer came dangerously close to Paul's mouth!! 1:29
