I used to play with our band in clubs like these in the early 70s, they were for real and they were great. Loved every minute of it, even the committees
Absolute joy. You know you've got a good show when the outtakes don't outshine the final cut. They are piss my pants funny, but your also just reminded how damn fun the show was. I mean "how far away are they?" is just brilliant.
4:22 - Ahh, Paddy! F*** off! Just knowing Paddy was in Pete’s line of sight, pissing himself laughing gets me every time. Pete’s struggling to hold it together and just sees Paddy off camera grinning at him.
Peter Kay didn’t want to overexpose is, hence why it’s not shown on TV on repeats often. Like Fawlty Towers, he just did two perfect seasons and left it at that.
It is great. Some comedies write crazy and unbelievable and outrageous antics into their shows which would never happen in real life. Phoenix Nights captures accurately the 'naffness' of cheap working men's clubs in England only occasionally going overboard with some of the stunts. I'm a Brit in America but spent my youth as a bass player in a cover band performing in approx 100 similar clubs around the Midlands. They are wonderfully friendly places but they take themselves so seriously just as Peter Kay's characters do here. Some of the acts are truly appalling, I've seen a few acts who supported us die some terrible deaths and suffer cruel heckling. The show is brilliant and should be more mainstream in the US on hulu or Netflix for example. It's a refreshing change not to have to suffer a laughter track as well. One story from my past: Golden rule of the club #1 NOTHING shall interfere with the BINGO. One place had us 8 to 9pm then 945 to 11 with Bingo between the slots. The manager lectured us for ten minutes before saying we HAD to be stopped by 9 but couldn't leave the stage until the bingo caller started to make sure nobody left the audience for the bingo. We explained it was difficult to time a song to finish seconds before 9 but we'd try. Dude told us there was a red light at the front of the stage that would light up when we had 5 mins to go. 1 minute to go and it would start flashing. If the song was not going to finish he insisted we 'fade it out'. We were a 5 piece band (One Night Affair) drums, bass, guitar, keyboard and female singer. Anyway as soon as the red light came on we were actually between songs and the audience who saw the light started chanting and stomping their feet BINGO!!! BINGO!!! BINGO!!!. The manager waved at us frantically to play another song so we started "The Way We Were" a slow and emotional song. For 3 minutes as the singer sang gently the audience got louder and louder BINGO!! BINGO!! etc... Then the red light started flashing and the singer walked off. I think she was crying. The guitarist started to play an improve rock lead and the rest of segued into a heavy blues jam kinda zeppelinish. It got and louder until the drummer finished a massive roll with a loud crash.... At precisely the moment the manager cut the power to us. Of course we all stopped playing as soon as we heard the crash, drummer too and the manager waved the bingo to start and the audience stopped shouting BINGO and gave us a very polite clap clap clap and bingo started. Backstage the manager came in and we thought we were ****ed. He said that was ****ing amazing lads and lass! How the **** did you time that so well?! Sorry I cut your power its just club policy. Some of the acts we get here show no respect to the bingo, but it's all the ladies come in for. I've got some more bookings for you. See me after your next slot. We were back on stage for 945 and the power came back right on the dot. Never mess with the bingo, never.
Got to luv Phoenix nights but the outtakes are quality from our brilliant Jim Bowen calling Brian Frank to family fun day and the love length pure brilliant comedy 🤣🤣🤣👍
Thanks for posting, TheJimandTonic. I'm watching this during lockdown and it has really lifted my spirits. To anyone else who is viewing best wishes during this trying time.
the likes of the Office and Father Ted truly get the respect and admiration they deserve. Phoenix Nights not, despite being just as good. This is British comedy at its very, very best. Utter genius
@Freddie Krueger I'm not sure if you are joking or not. The Office is frequently vaunted as one of the best comedys Britain has ever produced. Phoenix Nights doesn't get the same recognition. I don't know what else to say to you
True story: about 20 years ago, my mum who lives in Chorley, rang me at work in London to say that she'd bumped into someone at Tesco (just by Astley Village) and engaged them in conversation and that it was only when she got home she realised she didn't actually know this person..... Dave Spikey, what a gent for humouring my "talk to anyone" mother!
Best visual gag, ever, when Max was sat in the van, sticks his head out of the window and looks back, so everyone outside the van looks in that direction, Max drives forward
4:22 "Paddy, F**K off!" 🤣🤣🤣 Sitting here beaming like a f**king Cheshire cat 🤣 I love how Paddy doesnt have to even be in the scene to cause an outtake 😂😂
one of the greatest comedys ever made they really need to make a series 3 and of course a shame poor jim bowen isnt with us anymore his outtakes were hilarious in this always getting his words messed up haha but just watching these over and over again never gets old always makes your day it must of took them hours to do just to get one part spot on with out laughing especially max and paddy lol but i must say that girl in the red dress though she was hot and cute in that when it was made i sure did have a crush on her and still do now when this was made
I think the reason they were corpsing so much during the cheese board bit was because it’s the sort of shit you talk down the boozer with mates. It’s so mundane and stupid!
I saw Dave Spikey quite a few times in Leeds on Tuesday nights at a comedy night…there was Tobey Forester too a lot who seemed to always manage to find me out and take the piss…it was a bargain for the night too, like £7 for 5 quality comedians back in the early 00s. I went every week and always had a great night.
BUT he's the worst for giggling when he should be performing - I feel for all the other actors that have to cope with him!!!! Makes for BRILLIANT outtakes!!
Yeah and he had the cheek to tell the woman who played Beverly "Be a professional" he's one of the last Professional actors ever, especially when Paddy is in his vicinity haha genius comedian and writer though.
Still think The Peter Kay thing is the best thing he's done, that Ice cream van episode is one of the funniest things in British comedy. Although Phoenix Nights run's it close. Max and Paddy is underrated although it's a little hit and miss. Have a soft spot for Car Share. His Stand up is very good. But The Peter Kay Thing for me had a little more bite to it then his other works which is why I like it.
This is almost as funny as the actual show. It’s a shame the show didn’t go on for longer, but it makes sense since the two seasons, Max & Paddy’s Road to nowhere and their outtakes are already perfect comedy.

@@nickm8874 this is because Kay doesnt want to over-expose his show and such, be less funny over time. Thats also why its rarely on TV.

The four eight niner! Fooking slayed me rotten
Paddy's screaming laughter when Peter Kay says ''stone bastard cold!'' absolutely cracks me up. I just have to keep coming back.
Same here 😂😂👏
The outtake where Peter is on the phone ordering a watch is brilliant.
12:30 “just put scalding hot fucking water in that Pete will you next time” gets me every time.
You know if your feeling really crappy , then just watch this , make you feel so much better !! 😀😀
Best visual gag, ever, when Max was sat in the van, sticks his head out of the window and looks back, so everyone outside the van looks in that direction, Max drives forward

Especially in that deep voice he does lol 😂
What bit
fuckin love that bit!
4:22 "Paddy, F**K off!" 🤣🤣🤣 Sitting here beaming like a f**king Cheshire cat 🤣 I love how Paddy doesnt have to even be in the scene to cause an outtake 😂😂
I love it when Peter sticks his fingers up at the ducks
''...I don't think Jive Bunny will be comi- GOODNIGHT!!'' lmao
How did anyone ever get out a line with peter kay either giggling like a schoolgirl or constantly messing with his tie in character 😂
Made us clock off at...... our normal time
It's ridiculous how funny that is for absolutely no reason whatsoever 😂
And.....hahaha
I like how that part of the scene didn’t make it in the final cut after all that
Love the two old ladies in the back not even cracking a smile or moving.
If you are from the Midlands and upwards, and you are 35 and over, all these people are real, we all know people just like this.
We do arr 😂
Definitely! 👍
Not just 35 and above shagger. About to hit 30 and I know many a man and lady like this. Its pure class. Never will we see their like again.

Jesus wept - Jim Bowen. Can’t breathe
How you ever got this show made is beyond me ,but I'm so grateful you did ..brilliant
I often think that
The cheese board scene never made it in the end......
I think the reason they were corpsing so much during the cheese board bit was because it’s the sort of shit you talk down the boozer with mates. It’s so mundane and stupid!
Because it was rubbish, probably the only bad dialogue in the whole show.
Kenny bit with the burger, fuck me I laughed to tears 😂
Bloody hell, Peter Kay is the writer and HE'S the worst one for giggling!!!!!!
Dave spikey wrote most of it mind.
The writing on Phoenix Nights was evenly split between Dave Spikey (Jerry), Neil Fitzmaurice (Ray Vaughn) and Peter. Phoenix nights was not just him.
I don’t blame him. I know it’s not wise to laugh at your own jokes, but the material is so funny that I can understand why he’d crack up.
I grew a six pack whilst watching this.

Pheonix nights & The Peter Kay Thing is the best work he has ever done . His stand up is average , but his characters is where the true magic lies.
