I think this is one of the most brilliant sketches ever done: at least by these two but possibly anyone....
Pure hilarity
Preach .
Brutally funny. "He'd gone... because he'd had to go.". I have quoted this skit so many times...
He was in Bahrain, which is a pretty bloody place to be.....
Good morning.
Good morning.
Eton? No.
Harrow? No.
Oxford? No.
Cambridge? No.
Homosexual? No.
Good morning.
I use that line as well- it's just brilliant and devastating on the recipient :)
@@Johnny-sj9sj retains his dignity lol
This is almost my favourite one. My mate brought these tapes from the UK in the mid 70s or so and they blew me away. So ever since he has become 'The Ant' or 'Ant'. Great stuff by these great comedians.
one of their best. The world needs more of Squatter Madras.
Classic! A great duo. I really miss them
A bootleg of this album turned up at my college radio station...I think it was in '74. We listened to it multiple times. (Although Monty Python was already a hit on American Public Television, it took a while to suss out some of the more obscure English slang.)
One of the DJ's played Squatter and the Ant on his evening show, and the telephones lit up with stoned-out people, almost gasping with laughter and asking to hear it again. He probably played it three times that night.
We must've dubbed at least a dozen copies of the album on audio cassette for student council, theatre department, and college newspaper people. My copy disappeared sometime back in the 80's.
Good thing all their stuff is released on cd then. I have some vinyls and 15 years ago I got the 3 cds..
Best conversation ever!
Love these graphics.
5 years laters!😆
five years laters... Five years laters? Yes, five years laters.
This is the extraordinary thing about squatter....
“Exxxxttttrrrrrooorrrdddinaaaarrrry…”
I would enjoy Squatter's biography
How Peter Cook didn't lose it around 4:28 I don't know. I think he had to repeat the joke to stop himself laughing.
"Equipped only with erm, you know, a hydrogen bomb" always cracks me up.
“God… urrgh… god… urrgh.. yes… urrgh”
So pretty bloody menacing position for Squatter.
5 years laters...
at 1:59 when PC says 'extraordinary' it still makes me crack up to this day.
"...enormous..." at 4.45 is a contender
stupefied too
I used to listen to this whole recording when I was in my late teens 😀👍
This stupified the ant
Biggest laugh EVER hearing Derek and Clive for the first time! 🤬😭
Eloquent and articulate in the extreme.
Who could possibly take issue with this?
An ant with issues? Hmmm, hmmm?
Fucking GOLD.
Absolute classic "Squatter Madras"
It's Dud who makes this sketch so brilliant... as is the case a lot of times.
" some sort of ..... understanding ...".
"The tragedy about Squatter is that ...one of these days.... he's going to let fly the most enormous fart!"
Who saw thst coming?
He kept his dignitaah
The extent of stupidity can be, at times extraordinarily stupefying, indeed to the extent of making one quite insensitive to the rationality of the sensible world, and, not enough with that, it can quite overwhelm one´s ability to assess the level of the perspicacity of oneself.
Beautiful parody of the character of paranoia, Heaven and Hell - the colorful coincidence between the two of them is they are one and the same in paranoia.
Squatter should have been at Rorke's Drift in 1979 to fight The Zulus but got the Century wrong. He turned up in 1779.
Turns out it was slap in-between in 1879 hence the non-appearance of Squatter Madras.
Apparently Ronnie Pickering was there though..
He was at the 'Drift, with John Stitch, Mrs Coletart and that fucking bird on her roof - plus - Barry McDermott from the Glamorgan Testicle Ward (Ward 3). He'd gone because he'd had to go.
@@XXSkunkWorksXX One of my former neighbours(about 6 doors along) had a good friend who had a cousin who went to Glamorgan from Kent in 1968 and met Malcolm Nash in the street when Malcolm was buying a periodical.
As you know Malcolm was a spin bowler for Glamorgan that year.
Small World..
@@XXSkunkWorksXX you forgot to metion how he was taught by Ms. Badcrumble to play sexy songs on the clarinet, like Snug as a Bug in a Rug... 😎
@@XXSkunkWorksXX Was Stitch involved in the fighting, or was he there purely for morale? (given his career)
Classic. Same here. A mate gave me the tapes a few years ago. Still funny to this day
He regained his dignityheyhu
Squatter Madras? I recently spotted him in Chelsea.
One of my faves...
Clive:And do you know what he did?
Derek:No.
Clive:Nothing.
Derek:Good God.
Clive:He immediately did nothing.
Derek:Yes.
Clive:And this stupified the ant.. 😁
“Ssshhhhhttteeewwwpiffffeeyyyeeed!”
This part is like something out of Samuel Beckett
God
flatleythebard One word and makes me howl 🤣
Yeas.
Yeuugh
I dont know if Ive ever told you the story about squatter and the ant ? Have I told you about Squatter and the ant ?

*CLASS IN A GLASS.*
'Only equipped with hydrogen bomb.'
I recently heard that Squatter was resident in a....well, I can't really say where
They were ecwels
the ant crept in the ....hole...and Squatter was gone! (by the way, that was five years laters)
Funny, i always thought it was Squatter the doss.. But it's Madras everywhere i look. What's interesting is doss is a makeshift bed it says. So same thing basically. But it also means being idle and that makes a tonne of sense. He immediately did nothing.. That says it all 😁
God....
This one legged one eyed ant lived a surprisingly long time 😃
Stupefied
He immediately did nothing
I have used that expression many times since.
The thing is, there’s a lot of people out there who really do speak like this. I don’t think the accent is an exaggeration.
Yeeers ? Mmm
God bless the little people ?
There are sounds here that have no equivalent in the alphabet......
Apparently’Nothing’ is a liturgy religious quote from the letters of the pricks in Palestine or Jerusalem or some samey shit.
Dudley tried to somehow make 'Derek & Clive' just go away !!
Not possible 'fraid Dud 😁😆😅😂😱😫🤪🤭
5 yeara laters
fucking lit
Bahrain.... which is a pretty bloody place 🤔 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Louder I say

Effing irreplaceable, especially in PC madness
ageless . . .
A far cry from Santa Claus the Movie, Mr Moore?
If only John lithgow was involved with squatter
And the ant 5 years later
LaterS
5 years laters, always laters.. Isn't it right Clive ?
Yes, laters, 5 years laters.. 😎
Oh dear. This hasn't really stood the test of time has it? I used to almost worship Cook and Moore and listened to everything they broadcast. They have produced some of THE most outstanding dialogues in the history of comedy - listen to the surviving 'Not Only But Also' - but D&C are almost 180* opposite. This is five minutes of ....nothing.
What? This is arguably their funniest dialogue
You're 5 minutes of nothing pal. It works as well today as back then. I met people in record shops that listen to this before going out on the town. It's a regular thing she said. So you're wrong with that assumption pal.. 😎
