mary hadfad Yes, Des Kay. Little Britain’s creators and the League of Gentlemen used to be good friends and they used to bounce ideas off of each other, hence why other characters like Marjorie from fat fighters and Pauline from the restart course are so similar.
Yes, David Walliams' similar sketch went way too far to be funny imo as he was literally ripping people's trousers down unconsensually etc, really uncomfortable watch
Yes, "alles klar" literally translates to "all is clear". The English equivalent would be "okay" or "alright" or "all is good" or "good, good". And, like in English, you can use it as a statement or a question: "okay? okay!" / "alright? alright". Or it can just be an interjection to show approval: "Shall we go over here? Good, good", "I think I'll have the fish, okay?". It's worth noting that it's a call-and-response here because this is Herr Lipp's catchphrase and everyone's joining in. But, in reality, its usage would be more like what's seen on the TV show, where it's really an affectation. A figure of speech. Like that character in South Park who always adds "m'kay" to the end of every sentence. It doesn't actually mean anything, but is really a nervous tick. You're not really expected to reply to "alles klar" every time you hear it. But this is a comedy show and the character has just dropped his catchphrase, so it goes all Bruce Forsyth - "nice to see you... to see you nice!". Well, it's like in English, when you might bump into someone in the street and exchange "alright?" / "alright?". Neither of you is genuinely asking the other if they're alright. It's just a greeting. An ice-breaker to kick off conversation. Whilst you can explicitly be asking someone if they're okay - and you genuinely expect an answer - most uses of "okay" (and similarly "alles klar") are semantically empty. It's just a general positive thing to say. A different way to say "yes".
Приколы
Steve's absolutely brilliant at improv
It's scripted...
Herr Lipp , the absolute QUEEN of innuendo .
Ah Ja, ist Italian eh? Das ist for this endo or that endo, or whichever endo you are liking hm?
I worked with Steve in the West End. Very much the professional and easy to work with. He didn't crack jokes all the time but he was funny when he did
Steve pemberton is so good!
Quite guuurd soo
Is it terrible that I find Herr Lipp's presence so comforting at this point..
This was "a real good treat" once again.
Herr Lipp is fundamentally a tragic character, and I think that makes him all the more enjoyable.
ERL Yes! Agreed. I'm a little bit in love with him - very wrong but he is utterly adorable
Have you seen the movie? He actually has an important character arc.
Tragic how?
I have to say, Watching this and having seen little Britain live, David Walliams and Matt Lucas don't look very original any more.
they are incredibly unfunny
Fat fighters lady looks modelled on the job seekers woman
They actually all studied together ant they was goin to join these guys but went different ways
@@amandadouglas1304 thank fuck
Des Kaye
One of the most funny characters of all series I´ve ever seen! The League Of Gentlemen really where epic!
I saw the league of gentlemen live in Belfast, absolutely brilliant, Herr Lipp was probably the highlight of the show.
by far :)
Nick hated every second of this didn’t he
"We'rr gonna learn some traditional englisch games, witch is gonna be a reel treet... UNNGH!!!"
Haha!!!
Oh Justin, muh Justin muh very own Justin.
I was at this show and it was brilliant, I was genuinely terrified when he was looking for a "volunteer" 😳🤣
Classic stuff, badly needed in these tyrannical times!
@Alberto it was 2001, my wife was heavily pregnant with our second child and she was worried about laughing too much and going into labour! 🤣
@Alberto ok but I was there and I am certain that it was 2001
Haha. Hence why Steve almost guides them up to the stage.
His character with Herr Lipp sometimes seems to slip into Pauline .
I doubt he ever slips into Pauline. 😏🤨
@@tozmom615 Ross would go mad
The comments he can pull out because of loss in translation are perfect!
I have a gay German teacher and I am so proud :D
1:35 "it's quite gooood"
Nick, if you're watching this, please get in contact!!
Hahaha wonder if this guy watches this once in a while
lol the double entendres
Herr Lipp is a stage show in its own right.
I would love to know the origin of this character, especially the little kick. Sort of 60/40 Larry Grayson/Heinrich Himmler. 😂
Love this sketch 👍✌️😀
Ohh Nick Nick..my very own Nick.
Brilliant as always
His german is quite accurate.
Yes, all league members seem to be able to speak fluent german - They frequently use it in their wor
Steve was going to study German and French at university until he decided to study at Bretton Hall
Herr Lipp is sooo cute! 🤣
He looks like christopher biggins
I don't know why, but this has made me laugh so much
So fucking glad I was born early enough to experience piss take comedy and not be made to feel ashamed.
The 3 gave him away. Call the ss
That guy is so lucky! :)
Love it.
Funny as fuck.
2:25 a German wouldn't use those 3 fingers to visualise the number "3". Otherwise, an excellent performance.
FABULOUS..
Hopcock.
This is great but I was looking for the Herr Lipp German lesson but it seems to have been removed.
More like live at Ian Dury Lane.
Didn't Little Britain live do a almost completely identical sketch with David Walliams as a kid's tv presenter.
mary hadfad Yes, Des Kay. Little Britain’s creators and the League of Gentlemen used to be good friends and they used to bounce ideas off of each other, hence why other characters like Marjorie from fat fighters and Pauline from the restart course are so similar.
At least LOG's characters were actually clever and well written rather than just based on Daily Mail-esque stereotypes like Little Britain.
Yes, David Walliams' similar sketch went way too far to be funny imo as he was literally ripping people's trousers down unconsensually etc, really uncomfortable watch
it means literally "All is clear?" so the response is "All is clear". Like "All is understood?" and the response of "All is understood."

Funnny, on par with pappa (deep voice) lazaroo. Out standing
STEVE....YOURE NOB...LUV ITT
Funny stuff.
it means does everyone understand?/is that clear? i mixture of these .
I thought that young man was going to cry ha on stage ha 😆 lol
Alles klar?! Hilarious!
(also means just: Alright?)
Literally "all is clear". But it's the equivalent of "okay" or "alright", yes.
Hilarious
lol poor bloke =p
Alles klar
At 1:48, what does that actually mean?
Alles klar =is everthing clear?= comprendea?...or.." Understand ?". To wit one replies; alles klar or "understood"
Uber alles is over all.
@TheAnxiousMan And people said Little Britain was funny because it was original...
what year is this from
2000 I think. I was at this show.
2001
The bloke from audience was crap.
Put a complaint in. Andy England
They said they pick people who look shy and don’t want to be chosen otherwise the person might try to take over
No, he’s brilliant because of his nerves and apprehension. Totally makes it.
This is actually disgusting when you think about it... the character is basically a paedophile and everyone is laughing
Dark humour in The League?… neverrr
His infatuation for the teenage schoolboy Justin was too perverted to be funny.
Fantastic sense of humour needed to understand this
