French & Saunders - Awful Art Dealers - Best Funny Voices EVER!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2011
- I love almost everything they've done, but I think this is one of those overlooked sketches, and as I'm a MASSIVE fan of funny voices, especially silly posh ones, I love this one. Just a shame Brian Sewell didn't actually come, with him saying "Can you speak properly, I can't understand a word you're saying!"
Best bit - when they stand in front of the picture that the customer is looking at, Dawn's especially funny ;-)
Sorry about the poor sound, this is the original TV VHS recording; I've since learnt how to clean this up.
Love you F&S thanks for all the funny - Jx 
Приколы
I love the way Dawn French says 'Triptych' 😆
You only work in a shop you can drop the attitude !
".....anything under that they will have to buy them for fiftya pya." Love that line.
I've loved this sketch for well over a decade. I still respond to many things with "oh that's ghastly."
Ahhhh so that's where Kath and Kim got their ideas for those posh women who work in the shopping centre in that Le Cruset type shop ! They learnt from the best !
Was just thinking that! Prue and trude!
I was just about to comment that lol
They got the look perhaps from French and Saunders but their voices and dialect are based on upper class women who are Liberal voters, from Big Girls Blouse.
I thought the same. All are fantastic funny and clever 😍
@@brendanflaherty11 No, it's the voices and pronunciation which are clearly the influence for Prue and Trude. This predates Big Girls Blouse as well.
This reminds me of the Absolutely Fabulous episode 'Death' where Eddie goes into a gallery and tells the pretentious woman on the desk 'You only work in a shop you know, you can drop the attitude' 😂
Samuel Bomorse I am still waiting for my opportunity to say that to someone.... 😉🤪
eddie was rude because she felt stupid and belittled in an art gallery by a lady working there...that says a lot about her ego and complete lack of self esteem if an art gallery is the place to get any, because it's not, and eddie has a wavering, quivering sort of self esteem depending on her mood, hour of the day, season and the drugs she's taking behind Saffy's back.
I came here to find someone make this comment 😂 Love seeing the 'origins' of Ab Fab in French and Saunders
@@salviaofficinalis02 yeh but the shop girl was pretentious too... it was a perfect clash of egos
Dawn in this sketch also reminds me of Patsy's airhead friend from the magazine (played by Helen Lederer)
I can't explain how much I love these two
This often extends to shop assistants, and not necessarily ones who sell anything of any particular worth. Once a very well-off elderly lady I knew, who used to dress very plain, was all but asked to leave a perfume shop, and got so infuriated she told them she could buy and then sell them and their entire shop in the blink of an eye.. Those poor souls aren't even worth fyaftya pyance. Great sketch.
Jane Turner (Kath & Kim) said on a radio interview that Prue and Trude were influenced by the French and Saunders Art Dealers, but were ultimately a parody of the Big Labour/Posh Girls from their earlier work. All four women (and characters) are hilarious!
I often say "six peay eaym" instead of 6pm because of this!
Mel and Sue cameos!
On a par with some of the better Python sketches. I love these women.
Monty python is awful boring crap for Americans to laugh at something British. This is actual comedy!
well...it's an art gallery in the west end...some shop!
It amazes me how this is 100% accurate.
LOVE it! Love French & Saunders! They are the best! Thanks for posting this video.
XD their accents are AMAZING!! The 50p part made me collapse in laughter!! And the way they say "no" XD
The frightening fact is if you walk into almost any "fine art" gallery in London,these people are not fantasy.They are real and think they are incredibly normal.
Ramon Soares It all looks like bollocks so it must be worth something...
It's a dead body, Pats...
Robin Harley yes but is it art Eddie?
No sweetie, it's my father.
looooooooool
4:48 they pounced on the prospective buyer like two rapacious vultures and then saying “ how embarrassing talking money”,
Reminds me of a line in a Kingsley Amis novel where a character had a voice "posher than the Queen's".
Oh sorry for fiftya pia! LOLO
2:13 The funniest and most unintentionally brilliant part of the sketch is when Dawn (apparently) forgets how she's supposed to pronounce "frames" and Jennifer corrects her, forcing the characters to indirectly acknowledge that the way they talk is just something they completely made up
I have definitely felt like those customers in many galleries I have visited!
Wow- very much like Kath and Kim in the fancy shop. Getting a throw for the couch….
I love this sketch!! So happy you posted it. I was having trouble finding it.
Hellio Magarzarn!!! LOL
Spot on and HILARIOUS x
Fiftyah theyasyand peyands.
That's very, very close to the actual spelling, well done!
I say “eoh neoh “ all the time because of this sketch.
So many phrases from this are still used in our household: "You like thet, dyon't you?" "Hyellyo Myagazyine"
The 50p bit 😂😂😂😂
For how much, sorry? For fyif tya pya.
cambridge has lots of these,usually found shopping in John Lewis.Four wheel driver with labrador attached.
Now whenever I see someone put on a ‘posh’ front this episode comes to mind. How am I supposed to take the ‘posh’ seriously now?! 😂😂
OMG SUE PERKINS! she is everything!
Monsters. I bet this is inspired by real people... They know to that are. I noticed Mel and Sue too.
Can't wait to see the ab fab movie x
So weird to see Mel & Sue
Brilliant!
I often, for no particular reason, quiet day maybe, find myself saying 'Fyftay Pyea' - lol indeed ;-)
Yep Mel & Sue (the never were protege's) both in this sketch ;-)
I still find myself saying fyeeftyah pyah every time I have one
You're obviously insane................. Me too 😁
I just love them
In front of that painting, they actually remind me of a couple of witches who want to tempt you into their cottage a la Hansel and Gretel.
That is very true most art dealers are a bunch of snobs! acting as if they no everything
Know.
Kath and Kim did a similar take on this with Prue and Trude.
Cảm giác như mk đang đc nghe 1 bản nhạc chữa lành vậy đó. Giọng hát của đp rất đặc biệt, nhẹ nhàng tình cảm. Xem video thôi đã hay ntn r, ghen tị vs ekip qaa nghe hát live chắc hay gấp 💯lần lunn
Poor Brian Sewell, I'm sure he adopts that voice because his name sounds so common LOL
This is so accurate.
Strangely, I can easily imagine that ;-)
People don't know anything about pyantyings these dyays.
MEL & SUE too ;-)
I'll never say Hello Magazine the same way ever again
I love her already, leeyts duow lauwnch ;-)
Great sketch. Art is great, sadly art people are A soles.
They are a riot
omg just the sound of their voices, I would be laughing at every word, how did they get thru this with straight faces?
emma gallagher Another Americanism. Some people just can't open their mouths without saying" omg or OMG. " OMG, it's so annoying.
Dawn sounds exactly like Trude & Prue from "Kath & Kim".
and that about just sums up the art world
Ahhh yes... the f r a h m s
I never heard so many vowels in my life.
...a juhnalyist ehnd photographyer from "Hellyo" megyazee-en....
"...50 p."
"Fuh heow much.sorry?"
"Oh sorry. Fuh fiftyeah p'yence."
Reminds me of the sales women off Kath and Kim.
sue perkins!
So true..
@ellandelachapelle Where do you get Norwegian from this clip ? As chillmax writes is a fan of funny voices, especially silly posh ones, posh meaning upper class people or people who think they are talk like this in English. If you have a look @ Kath & Kim an Australian show you will find their sketches of two shop owners Trude & Pure talk with a
posh English voice as well, as the saying goes they talk with a plum in their mouth
cambridge kings parade women ...thanks darling
And not a pyennay less!
Sorry, I thought this was ASMR Zeitgeist
Lol young Sue perkins
This is real in reality.
Wow, like "Trude" & "Pru" on Aussie Kath&Kim! (Just pronounce the names aloud, "Prue" & "Trude" & you'll be able to pull the voice, as well ; )
French & Saunders are 2 of the very funniest ladies of comedy of all time. I do find Dawn a more versatile ACTRESS & Jennifer a more able WRITER, but the characters they do they do so well!
Helleyoew everyone. (The accent is über posh.) They each live in a veddy nice hise. When they fall dine its oolways on the grind. Oh, do say it isn't siyouew.
These people are real...I haven't the foggiest idea why. The artsie über posh!
😂😂😂
😊😊😊
😂😂😂😂😂🥰
my great aunt legit sounds like that
F + S really supported Mel and Sue at the start of their career. Forgot therye in this sketch.
They're imitating upper class accents.
✌️🤠
They're so posh I can barely understand them!
Technological progress truly is remarkable. Nowadays you can make a better recording with a telephone.
Lacks the charm though!
@@thebadtemperedbrit If by 'charm' you mean shitness! :D
When do you visit Runcorn WA7
its sue perkins 🙃
hey they speak like Trude and Prue
its mel geldroich
Hyow much iys thee Kyerchyinsky pyaintying?
Who were Mel & Sue before TGBBO?
aveuch They were a stand up comedy duo, becoming known around the mid 90"s, who were taken under the wing of French & Saunders, even appearing in a few of their shows. They tried many different formats, with some success, the stand out being, "Light Lunch" a foody show & arguably a portent of things to come. In short, they wanted to be F&S (probably) but found success eventually in other avenues 😁.
Thank you so much for responding! I know all about F&S and Catherine Tate and several others, but I was only introduced to Mel & Sue through the bakeoff!
Google here I come!
Are those visitors Mel and Sue?
Indeedly!
Hmmmmm Prue and Trude weren't original at all.
Well, very little is original, something is usually inspired by something else isn't it 😁. However, I don't think Pru & Tru v the art dealers are that similar; & if you look back to Big Girls Blouse, the aussie girls have always done silly voices as well 😉.
Have always loved these two but this sketch is particularly difficult to understand with the accents.
They could have done a series of this. Just the two of them talking like that and being rude to customers. Seen a good deal worse!
When was this first aired?
Sam Calvert 1987 i think
Was 1995
dawn and Jennifer.something together soon.Please.
I'm sorry but it's spelt fyiftea pyay ;-)
is it not cozz he's terribly posh?:)
Mel Giedroyc at 3:30?
fyiftea pyea
Their Norwegian is really lousy! :)
Horrendous canned laughter
The BBC (then at least) & most British TV didn't use 'this effect; all productions were filmed in front of a studio audience & it was OB, the audience would be shown a film to react to. You may not like how this sounds, but this is indeed infront of a BBC audience at Televsion Centre, Wood Lane, London ;-)
