knottlawhites This and 'The Four Yorkshiremen' [Python/ALT1948 Show] are amongst my favourite bits of comedy ever - I don't think that's all that unusual for a Yorkshireman. I don't know if it's peculiar to us, but things so proximate to one's native domicile are particularly stimulating to the ulnar nervous receptors. Is it the same for those shitey southern poofs?
knottlawhites it's an extreme stereotype, obviously, but I doubt any true Yorkshireman would be offended by it, we used to be very straight talking people, you bluntly said what you thought of someone new, they just as bluntly did the same back, now you understood one another, no offence taken and no bull, and you got on with life, 'twas t' Yorkshire way. Shame it's dying off.
0.28: "Ey up son - You'll never play for Yorkshire" - how very true with current events at Yorkshire CC. Amazing how Harry Enfield got this spot on 29 years ago.
Back then, to play cricket for Yorkshire you had to be born there. Up until the 1990s they wouldn't even accept outsiders from other parts of England - never mind overseas players.
@Tom Brown About 55 years ago I had a black work mate, we used to do the racial banter bit all the time " Good morning black man, Good morning White man" was typical so I've never seen any harm in banter because it's the intent that matters
@@steveforest8385 ...but that's the whole point of that part of the sketch. A racist 'plain-speaking, it's only banter' Yorkshireman saying that a black player can't play for Yorkshire, purely based on skin colour, automatically based on the assumption that they're not from Yorkshire. In reality, in the 1990's, there were tens of thousands of black and Asian players that could have played for Yorkshire based on the old 'born in the historic county boundary' rules.
Do you know the one about a girl that brought her boyfriend home to stay the night? He had to stay downstairs and not use the toilet upstairs as not to wake her parents. He said what do I do if I need to go to the toilet? she replied, use the sink. later that night he shouts, wheres the paper!

I'm a lancashire lad and I honestly have to say that I like Yorskhire and the people. They are good humoured folk and they were hard grafters in the coal mines and in the stone quarries. Some real tough guys too. There are some beautiful sites and breath taking views in the dales. Lovely place to visit on a hot sunny summers day. I like the heritage of the small villages. Sorry southerners - but the Yorkshire folk get my vote everytime :)
Not just saying it but at 77yrs and raised and lived them in Leeds I have always preferred Lancashire folk. I have found them more disposed to humour ,sympathetic and cultured in the everyday sense..but that's just me...
Im a londoner, was in a pub in Yorkshire, on the dales. This character, was giving it the large about southern poofters. His misses came in. "George! yu dinners on't table! HOME!!! "Okay me duck. We ripped the shit out of him!!!! Love Yorkshire, and the folk that have kept it as beautiful as it is. And always be.

Its so subtle, signs of how subtle Harry and Pauls later shows could be. In this context though the sheer self delight in the fact that he had indeed travelled all the way to Leeds away from kith and kin. Beautiful, comedy this good is a dying art. Higsons pony tail is worthy of mention too, detail that just makes the scene.
I'm a sophisticated Yorkshire man from Leeds and i find this totally hilarious. I did 20 years ago when it was on tv and i still do now. Slightly disappointed with any fellow Yorkshire man who can't laugh at this stereotype.
Watched this 20 years ago but never understood the " ....sophistication l been to Leeds joke. Assume it is about stereotypes but could someone please explain???
kingelvis Leeds (my home town) is seen as the cosmopolitan, big city capital of Yorkshire. We've got a Harvey Nichols, tha' knows! People from Sheffield will dispute this.
Yeah some places are big heads. Go to Liverpool, "it's the best city ever...." go to Yorkshire "It's God's country!" At least in Birmingham they are used to taking the piss out of themselves.

I think that what really separates this from other skits is the subtlety with which the characters interact. Cunning humour interwoven with insightful dialogue makes the scene really shine above most others. It's not just funny, it makes you really think about what it means to be from Yorkshire. You are taken into the mind of an advertising executive and after a few moments, you realise that you can't just go back to how your own life was before you saw this. "Profound" is the word I'd use to describe this scene. It's not just a silly skit, it's a cutting insight into the Human condition. It holds a mirror up to our lives and makes us look at ourselves. Simply brilliant.
