"That's you that is..." It shouldn't be funny, but I cannot help but laugh even now!
Even now I go "Oh what a Personal disaster" and "Haircut! Haircut!"
You see that gob of spit on the floor that's you're swimming pool that is
@@gingernutpreacher Look theres your mum.
"That's the way aha aha"😂😂😂
i can remember almost nothing of Mary Whitehouse Experience, other than those two old characters and their recurring routine
Alexei Sayle's Stuff was by far my favourite of the 90s sketch shows.
Mel Smith. Gone far too soon, but not forgotten. One of those rare human beings who had 'funny bones' - he didn't have to say, or do, anything to be funny. Tommy Cooper was another.
Big Train is severely underrated, amazing comedy show
The best, i have the DVD's.
Those Staring sketches with Barry Davies on commentary were genius!
@@mirage123451 Agree, they hit the nail on the head.
Prince hunting the jockeys
@@mirage123451 Samuel Wallace vs Pipi Popstopulus was an all time classic
The guy on the toilet in Absolutely was called Frank Hovis.
There was also Lee & Herrings Fist of Fun and an Armando Ianucci show called The Friday Night Armistice - altho I forget whether that one was sketches or stand-up or both...
Wasn't Fist of Fun on radio or was it on both
@@TheCaptScarlett both
The armistice iterations were a kind of ‘magazine’ style show not unlike That’s Life, but with satirical content rather than jolly frivolity. It had ‘bits’ (ianucci prancing bob monkhouse is a classic example), but not so much in the way of sketches.
Big Train was very funny, the best thing on this list by a mile.
The Mary Whitehouse Experience, they all look so young! It breaks my heart to see how time marches on...
Big Train was the absolute peak of 90s comedy
Big Train was quality. So underrated.
So true. Loved the Virginia Plain sketch
Paul Merton was brilliant back in the day…innit marvellous!
In the Paul Merton Show I still recall the joke he said while in his little shop, “A bloke asked me what I had in the way of cigarettes. I said nothing, they’re just there” (points to cigarettes on shelf)
I remember a sketch, in it, where he and another were planning a robbery, and it went into great detail, including having a model of a security guard's head and going into detail of the guard's vision.
The Baldy Man also appeared in the Hamlet cigar adverts in the 1980s early 90s
I LOVED Mary Whitehouse Experience, quoting it at school the next day. I still say "Oh, you've had a haircut.... hair cuuuuuttt"
Lovely.... Milky Milky.
For me the big one thats missing from this list is The Glam Metal Detectives. Everybody up!
Loved that show!
Well that's good, as we're playing there next week.
@@kayemcnab8045 Shame it only lasted 1 series...
Song was awesome
Colin Corleone 😂. 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Gordon Kennedy and Moray Hunter still produce lots of radio comedies on Radio 4 under their Absolutely production company. They haven't lost their comedy edge.
The original Absolutely TV series was genius! Callum Gilhooley and Stoneybridge were personal favourites!
@@Mike_Connor I still recall John Sparkes as Mr Twitch, losing it with some sellotape. Now he does Peppa Pig with Morweena Banks. It’s true, it’s true!!!
@@PHDiaz-vv7yo Yes I almost spat my tea out the first time when sitting down with friends with kids with Peppa Pig on. Knowing how most of his career has been built on fairly scurrilous material seemed like a bold move to have him on children's TV show.
Newman and Baddiel was my fathers favourite comedy at the time. “That’s you that is” was his catchphrase, lol!
M Kahn is bent
The Jim Tavaré Show is one that always seems to get forgotten about. I Believe Ricky Gervais of all people did some writing on that one.
I used to love many of these. Paul Merton, Mary Whitehouse, Big Train, The Real Mcoy were all class.
I loved Absolutely. As soon as Naked Video showed up, I hoped Absolutely would be on here. The Stoneybridge Council sketches were brilliant, and Denzil and Gwynedd were just bonkers 😂
Big Train was a brilliant sketch show
Out of all of them, Absolutely was the best by a country mile. Frank Hovis as you featured is John Sparkes as Siadwell, Denzil (in Absolutely) and... the narrator on Peppa Pig (along with Morwenna Banks as Mummy Pig). You can also check out more of his scurrilous work on an HTV Wales series called 'Barry Welsh', which itself has a section called 'Lookout Wales with Hugh Pugh' where they take old B&W stock footage and work it into a kind of news story. Back to Absolutely.. Stoneybridge!, Don & George (who had a spin off series, episode 1 titled "you can run, but you cant hide your legs"), Denzil & Gwinneth, Geoff the Parky, the Scots nationalist McGlashan, Callum Gilhooly, the old man Bert Bastard, all the Pete Baike musical parodies and characters, the middle class couple... amazing fun. "Remember the golden rule of selling. Do Not. Resort. To violence!"
Yes! Absolutely is still one of my favourite sketch shows!
McGlashan “POOFS!!!!”
@@PHDiaz-vv7yo Also McGlashan: "Be courteous, be polite, you want them to buy your stuff. Remember the first rule of selling. DO NOT RESORT VIOLENCE!"
Some very kind people have uploaded a lot of Barry Welsh on RUclips
The Hugh Pugh stuff was definitely my favourite along with Geraint Pillock and the challenge of his coracle
@@A-small-amount-of-peas - I just watched some Barry Welsh - dear god, is that funny! Fishguard film festival made me cry with laughter. I love Fishguard, but it's a tiny place.
I liked big train actually. this sketch is genius in it's absurdity.
In his autobiography, Paul Merton said he hated doing stand-up, and those bits with him as a newsagent were pretty much his entire act, every bit of material used up. I actually went to see him live in the 90s, wishing I'd known that, as there wasn't a single line he said that he'd not said in the TV series.
that was the problem with tv from the 50s. People who did the music halls for 30 years went on tv and did their act - now everybody had seen it
One from 2000, was Bruiser which was an early vehicle for Mitchell and Webb & Olivia Colman. Also featured the IT guy played by Matt Holness before he moved to The Office, Bob would’ve been proud!
Bruiser was ace. Back in the days when BBC3 was called BBC Choice! T T T Touchy!!!
"Do you sell poison?"
The skit with Robert Webb asking various places if they sell poison (not that his character wants to kill his wife or anything), is dark comedy at it's best. Also, the annoying surgeon who implants squeakers into patients whilst doing regular surgery, is wonderfully silly.
Mary Whitehouse Experience and Paul Merton were two of my favourite shows at the time
Fist of Fun was another belter.
So glad you mentioned Absolutely. It's my life's ambition to retire to Stoney Bridge 😂❤️👍
...with its Stoney Bridge?
Loved "Paul Merton The Series" and Mr Don and Mr George from "Absolutely". Also "Stoneybridge!" from the latter.
"....... and over here we have a bus shelter!!"
Absolutely was brilliant Denzel and Gweneth were brilliant
Llandudno neck for all
Big Train is in a different league to everything else on this list. Phenomenal show.
Welsh poet Ciadwell was on Naked Video, not Absolutely (John Sparkes was in both, but was really only on NV as Ciadwell). The man on the toilet (also Sparkes) was Frank Hovis.
Mary Whitehouse Experience was brilliant! I watched Punt & Dennis and Newman & Baddiel live after season 1, so saw most of the Season 2 gags before they were on telly! History Today was genius! That's your mum, that is!
Paul Merton had a sketch I think of often. A Colditz setting, where the inmates have laboriously recreated a German Soldier's uniform to perfection. Secure in the knowledge that he will blend in perfectly, Merton marches out into the compound heading toward freedom... The look on the faces of the Japanese Prison Guards is classic.
There was a "Whose line is it anyway?" spin-off sketch show called "S&M," starring Tony Slattery and Mike McShane.
Big Train was absolutely fantastic. Far better than many others on this list. It was essential viewing in our house, and my missus loved it, too.
I think about the Mary Whitehouse Experience regularly, because I still use so many of its catch phrases. Lovely.
I think you're wrong, Big Train was very good. Yes, some sketches didn't really work, but that's the case with every sketch show. There were some really inventive sketches played by talented comic actors. I watched it all a couple of years ago, still good stuff.
Bit of a stretch to say Nick Frost was part of the Big Train ensemble. He was in 2 sketches, in the background.
naked video was the first great sketch show of the 80's. Rab C, that posh blonde and others. even the theme tune was great!
R.I.P. Felix Dexter and Robbie Coltrane.
Big Train is an amazing show - the stare off sketches are still some of my favourites of all time.
I used to watch all of these.
Stoneybridge!!!!!!
I remembered that “Milky Milky” character. Brilliant!
Certainly wish I could remember that last one now, but think the Fiona Allen clip at the end will be etched into my mind for a long time! I had such a crush on her in Smack The Pony, along with Sally Phillips!
yep Sally Phillips is worth of song!
Smack the Pony just qualifies as the 90s (1999-2003)
@@hadz8671 for myself it would definitely fail the "not thought of recently" part though, as I've just finished it on BritBox. Still as good now as it was back then.
@@rikrob - my favourite sketch is the ladies drinking water in the office.
@@hadz8671 brilliant sketch. I love some of the songs they did. 😄
"The Mary Whitehouse Experience"'s Punt & Dennis had their own, far less remembered, spin-off sketch show. In fact, the only specific thing I remember about the Punt & Dennis show was a recurring cold-war action movie spoof where the hero would exclaim "Damn you, Krapotkin!!!"
And then went to R4 and The Now Show
Don't forget it launched Newman and Baddiel as well
@@shauntaylor9251 Sadly it did not launch Baddiel into the centre of the sun. Rob Newman has gotten very preachy too of late.
lovely milky milky!
At the time, Punt and Dennis seemed so uncool compared to Baddiel and Newman who were the height of early 90s studenty, pre-britpop indie band cool.
Paul Merton: The Series is great. It is on All 4 and is well worth a watch.
" Gwyneth, why do the Hoover suck"?
" I don't know, Denzil. Why do the Hoover suck"?
" Because it has no teeth".
Still my favourite joke.
So many memories. I was sure Mary Whitehouse Experience lasted longer but I think it's because it scissored into 2 different shows that also imploded quickly despite one of them selling out Wembley Arena which was unheard of at the time.
My mate even had the annual back when they were a thing which had possibly the best bad taste piss take joke on inept sports reporter Gary Newbon I've ever seen.
Because Gary asked the most simplistic unoriginal questions ever they had a picture in the Mary Whitehouse Experience annual of the secret service agent trying to help Jacqui Kennedy after JFK had been shot, it's quite a famous photo but they superimposed Gary Newbons head onto the agents body with a microphone in hand and a text bubble saying "Jacqui, you're husband's just been shot! How does that make you feel?"
13 year old me nearly died laughing. I'm sure Coogan based parts of Partridge on him
Another wonderful trip down memory lane 👍
Most of these are awesome and nobody has forgotten them, we still quote from them.
I actually went to see an episode of Absolutely filmed, I loved that show.
somebody invent me a time machine I want to do that!
Milky!! Milky!!
Commented this as soon as I saw the thumbnail!!
That's you that is!!
Absolutely, class show!!
Thankyou this is exactly what I need.. Im in Australia and can't remember the names of all these shows we briefly enjoyed growing up in Oz.. Can you do more please ? Mainly 2000+ TO today ? Trying to find these on RUclips to enjoy again ☺
See if any of this lot jogs your memory: ruclips.net/p/PLF2Ysx_IA3rnCfheARDVsgkXZEdIk_4sU
Big Train was the best of the bunch!
Some freaking GREAT shows.
Loved Mary Whitehouse experience and Real McCoy (think ive still got some of them on video tape) also have Big Train on dvd (brilliant show)
RIP Felix Dexter
I remember all of them!
My favourite Absolutely sketch was Stoneybridge Town Council. Sean Connery will eternally be Seen Conn-erray because of that. I suspect many a community council is scarily like Stoneybridge Town Council.🤣
"A bus stop to rival any other"
Actually the Baldy Man sketch accredited to Naked Video wasn't used on the programme but the character was used for a Hamlet cigar advert in the case of that clip.
@Longrodvonhugendon yes, the sketch was recreated for the Hamlet advert
Still quite regularly watch naked video and absolutely, few there id forgotten about for a month or two 😅
9:15 Didn't realise that Morwenna Banks married Davis Baddiel until I Googled her....
Gordon Kennedy from Absolutely is the voice of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares
Milky Milky and Thats your mum that is were catchphrases of the day in my school. Lol Big fan of Naked Video too. Such a great period for sketch shows.
Lovely Milky Milky was all I heard at school, and the bickering old men XD
So much good comed but yeah, Absolutely was defo one I hadn’t thought about for a long time
Dare to Believe - Agua Moose.... Moose Moose Agua.... Yes I remember the Aguamoose.
So glad you mentioned We Know Where You Live at the end. I thought I was the only person who remembered it.
Also I always got confused between Jeremy Fowlds and James Fleet for some reason.
Gotta do the 2000s!...Morgana Robinson...We Are Klang..Lee Nelson..Mark Wotton?(the guy from Nativity?)...Titty Bang Bang...all of them were lil gems!
The Idi Amin sketches from Titty Bang Bang always have me in stitches.
"Have you tried a spatula?"
"The king will not scratch his frittering arse with an omelette wand!"
or
"Get me some of the yogurt in the tiny pots with the creepy crawlies in them! The _ooooooh danone_ stuff!"
true fact. i came very close to smacking lee nelson in his face. then i told him the next time i saw him :D
Loved 'The Real McCoy' and 'Absolutely'. Even my hard to please father loved 'The Real McCoy'.
Paul Merton was Fantastic!
Some of the stuff I used to laugh at, the mary whitehouse experience came out when i was a student we thought it was amazing, looking at it now im 49 yrs old, oh my days, what happened? :)
I loved Big Train! Absolutely and Naked Video were staples in our house. The Paul Merton Show was fab, liked it when he did the monologues from a kiosk. Wish I’d saw the last one, that was back when C5 tried out different things and late night content was comedy and soft core porn.
"up do something" with Shane Richie and a load of other recognisable faces is a sketch show and is something I can't find for love nor money. if you can get anything about that I'll be mega impressed!
This Morning with Richard Not Judy.
Which was Peter Kay's big break.
Watched the Mary Whitehouse Experience yesterday. lol....
History Today.......classic
You 100% sound like someone who wouldn't grasp Big Train
You thought Brasseye was real didn't you?
Anyone else remember "The Glam Metal Detectives"?
I've got the single! Music produced by Trevor Horn (among the long list of stuff I own that he has produced lol). Best bit? The Colin Corelene sketch always opened with him and Phil Cornwell walking along a bunch of flats, low camera. children shouting at them, then one slings a rubber brick from the 2nd floor and smacks Phil in the head. What a shot!
Loved Mary Whitehouse Experience. Milky Milky and History Today (plus Rob Newman's Robert Smith impressions)
Completely agree about Absolutely, wonderfully silly stuff.
Oh come on, The Mary Whitehouse Experience was brilliant!
I've got the Absolutely Boxset. I'm currently re-watching it.
The trouble is there's very few sketch shows I've forgotten about.
Milky Milky. Mary Whitehouse Experience. The last thing of note I remember Gordon Kennedy was in would be Trainspotting 2 as the Headmaster who was blackmailed by Sickboy.
The Mary Whitehouse Experience transferred from BBC Radio 1 the year before it went on the box.
Frank Hovis. Guy on toilet. Loved Absolutely. Cymdeithas coed cymru (Welsh institute of wood) =Siadwel.
The Stoneybridge Olympic bid, "With a bus stop to rival any other". Very well written.
I remember watching each one on this list..
Naked Video essentially spawned 2 successors in Pulp Video and Chewin’ The Fat.
And Rab C Nessbit
And there was a childrens TV version of the show called Fast Forward if memory serves me
In what way is Chewin' the Fat a successor? Greg and Ford had nothing to do with Naked Video.
@@krashd Never said they were but they did appear in Pulp Video and same production team did all 3 series
Loved big train and Mary Whitehouse experience
The RUclips ads begining at the thing in the corner sketch was pretty good .
I never saw "mistero buffo" with the late great Robbie Coltrane. One sketch I remember from The Real McCoy was a guy who was being turned away from a nightclub because of the dress code. By the time he's properly attired he's turned away because the club had closed. A couple you missed out were "Newman & Baddiel in Pieces" & "The Imaginatively Titled Dennis & Punt" both of which came from "The Mary Whitehouse Experience".
Alfresco. An early & funny outing for Coltrane & chums....
Big Train is the only one that still stands up.
Are you joking????? Big Train, 'not that funny'??? THE best show on this list? Whaaaaat?
If you do another 90's Sketch Show vid, please don't forget the excellent Fist of Fun.
back when Stuart Lee was funny. I thought about writing to him about his boring repetitive business about pulling on his glasses, putting them on, pulling out a letter, reading it sarcastically, putting it away, taking glasses off, putting them away, but realised he would just... pull out his glasses... etc etc etc etc etc etc
WHAT?
How could you say that about Big Train?
Go to your room and think about what you just said.
Seeing a neonatal Hugh Dennis after watching him age on Mock the Week is very strange.
The Classical-music themed radio4 sketch show "The Miles & Millner Show" did try to transfer to BBC Two. It starred the guy who did the music for "Jerry Springer: The Opera."
Ones that come to mind are:
The Day Today
Bang Bang It’s Reeves & Mortimer
Adam & Joe
Alexi Sayle
Brian Connelly
These were well known.
@@evonneokafor so are most of them on this list
Naked Video had the violent carpet salesman, Mr Carter as a character. His catchphrase was always on the lines of:
"And that's what foreplay/customer service/getting a drink in a busy bar, is all abaaaaht!"
Real McCoy was class
90s sketch shows? Well Russ Abbot and Hale and Pace were still going, There was The Day Today and Brass Eye as well as Bremner, Bird and Fortune. Adam and Joe started on TakeoverTV before getting their own show. There was also Harry Enfield & Chums, French & Saunders and eventually Armstrong and Miller. I couldn't let it lie. There was also The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer. Jam and Monkey Dust feel old enough but aren't. Smack the Pony started in 1999 though so that counts.
By the way, another Big Train fan here. Does that just leave you and the inevitable miserable git at the bottom of the comments who found nothing funny? 😉
Does anyone remember Get Stuffed? It was a spoofy cookery show in the early 1990s.
I think that's on here somewhere ruclips.net/video/u69eWU-Bwc8/видео.html
the start of all night tv, cheap as hell. We used to do the voice for anything random 'get a cheesburger!' 'get aids!' 'get petrol!'
@@AdjustableSquelch Haha, that's hilarious. 😂
