This week, I will be mostly watching: The Fast Show!
This was from the last series. Johnny had become a fan, then let them know he was a fan who'd love to be in the show and they took him up on his offer. One of the most original comedy sketches shows ever. Just a host of many characters who had their own catchphrases and each sketch either involved the character simply saying the catchphrase or there was a brief situation which led them up to saying the catchphrase. Sounds terrible but, once you had seen each character once and knew what to expect from them, it was hilarious. In the very last episode, they very cleverly portrayed each character in a sketch and, when they used their catchphrase, it was very sad or moving for once. Genius.
I came here to say this, although I think the sketch obviously makes more sense if you see the earlier shows for some context...
@@yammy1000 definitely need to see full episodes in order to really get the most from The Fast Show
Parroted. If you know these two prior, the clip is way better! Context is a powerful thing
Johnny Depp has said on record that he thinks Paul Whitehouse is the best actor in the world.
I recall Depp saying Whitehouse was the greatest actor in the world.
Fair play to Depp for taking part in this very British style of humour.
The Fast Show is full of random bizarre sketches with different characters- the 'gag' is that they go straight for the catch phrases! Paul Whitehouse who's in this sketch is one of the best UK comic actors of any generation.
So says Johnny Depp, except he just said Actor.
I love milk me
@@petesmart1983 arent cows brilliant!?
Superb programme comic geniuses. This week I have mostly been eating ..... was based on a real guy scientifically testing out the native innuit diet.
BLACK!!! BLACK!!! BLAAAACKK!
Your priceless laugh just made a hilarious sketch even funnier. Johnny Depp is a huge Fast Show fan.
I remember this sketch very well, how Johnny Depp kept a straight face, I will never know. But what I do know, and I've always maintained this, is that Depp should have been born English. He's done so many films in the English accent and not many American actors can do it the way he has done.
I forgot to mention that Depp was actually a big fan of the Fast Show and he wanted to appear on it and that's how that sketch came about.
the Suits you Sir is iconic over here, we LOVE it hahaha
As has been variously pointed out, Johnny Depp was a huge fan of this show and may even have asked to appear in this particular repeating 'Suit You' skit. Paul Whitehouse and Mark Williams turned up the comic intensity to eleven in order to try and wind Depp up but he does incredibly well to keep a straight face almost until the very end. Depp was a real trouper IMHO but I think he also enjoyed every second !
How Johnny kept a straight face is the miracle.
An interesting fact.. Johnny Depp used a few of the catch lines from this series in The Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
Kudos to Johnny Depp, would have loved to have seen him guesting in more Brit comedy shows.
Didn't he do a Vicar of Dibley 👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣
He was in Life's Too Short with Warwick Davis and Ricky Gervais 😂
This was based on a character that Paul Whitehouse worked with at Hackney Council, who would regularly enquire about young men's sexual adventures.
Just clicked on "like" which brought the number up to 69.
"Ooh..... suit you sir? ....Ooooh!!!
If you notice one of them is Mark Williams A.K.A Arthur Weasley for the younger viewers.
Or Catering Officer Olaf Petersen for the older viewers.
The clerical detective in the TV show Father Brown.
@@bujin1977 great red dwarf reference.
Watched it from the first episode in 1988.
The best character from The Fast Show for smutty innuendo was Swiss Toni the car salesman. Every experience was "very much like making love to a beautiful woman" 😂
Yes. Swiss Tony was great 👍
Leaving a RUclips comment is very much like making love to a beautiful woman. You've got to be original about your approach, think long and hard about it, and make sure you give it a thumbs up when you're done!
And if you like the Swiss Toni sketches, check out the spin-off show Swiss Toni with 2 seasons, especially if you want to see a former Doctor Who with nuns and goats!
It takes 3-4 episodes to get into the concept of the Fast Show. The premise is having very short, to the point, sketches which have a theme and/or catchphrase. It comes over a bit strange at first but, as another commenter has said, once you get your head around how it works and used to the characters and theme/catchphrase, the scenarios they come up with are brilliant. The show only ran for 3 seasons of 30 minute episodes making only 11 hours of show but what a great 11 hours! There are extras like the series of three 'last ever fast show' episodes where the characters get a chance to shine once more before going out on a poignant or hilarious moment. There are 3 live stage shows which were brilliant also. Definitely worth the time watching. My personal favourites include "Chanel 9" - a foreign tv station (think Mexican TV to a non-Spanish speaking American) where the language is familiar but clearly not English, "Ted and Ralph" - Ted is a groundskeeper for Ralph. Ralph is gay and in love with Ted but is too socially repressed to say it but tries his best.", "Unlucky Alf" - a pensioner who things seem to go wrong for. At the disastrous climax, his catchphrase is 'Oh bugger!', "Monkfish" - a character in various TV shows playing a 1970s/80s tough guy with all the attitudes that go with it, and "Rowley Birkin, QC" - A drunken attorney who tells a story which is largely unintelligible apart from the occasional word of phrase (driving the imagination as to what he's talking about) finishing with a punchline 'I was very, very drunk'. Plus so many more. I think we'd all be interested in hearing who your favourites are after watching them all.
Kudos to Johnny Depp for joining in with it.
The Fast Show was brilliant. 'Rowley Birkin QC' was a favourite but the 'Ted and Ralph' scenes were the best for me.
The Fast Show is one of the greatest British Comedy shows of all time. Watch more... Even if you don't post reactions. But I hope you do some reactions.
"Unlucky Alf" is my fav character ...
I saw the notification and had to come and see your reaction. These guys were amazing.
As quick as if it were Loadsamoney!
The old drunk guy used to kill me off when I was a kid 😆
@@MaNNeRz91 Oh, he has to see some of him. There are a lot of reactions to be made about these guys. Top drawer.
@@rickybuhl3176 we were spoiled with their comedy.
@@MrLooking4laughs 100%
Check out the Ted and Ralph sketches from Fast Show. So good
The idea of the Fast show, was Paul (the one on the right of the screen) saw an advert for another comedy series he had co wrote with Harry Enfield, and it was all the best bits. And he said “the show will never be as good as the advert for it”. So he had the idea to make a comedy show, that cut out all the boring bits, and only showed the best bits, the bits that would normally be shown in a trailer.
Yes Johnny was a fan of the tv series, and he was pleased to be on there. We Brits have a 9pm time threshold on such comedy, and it's up to their parents after that.
Glad you liked it. There's more of them, on here. Johnny was a fan of The Fast Show, and asked if he could be in a 'Suit You Sir' sketch, and they said yes. :o)
Pmsl - 'glad you liked it' That is exactly what they would have said lol
From the end of The Fast Show run. Better to see the earlier ones to set the scene and see why Mr Depp became a fan.
The Fast Show was sort of spun off from Harry Enfield’s show as prior to a season if it coming out, they’d put together a teaser reel which was basically just the catchphrases from the show. Paul Whitehouse and Charlie Higson (both long time Enfield collaborators) saw it and thought that would actually be a good format for a sketch show and put together a collection of actors and comedians and created one of the best sketch comedy shows of the 1990’s.
Which was nice
As has been previously stated, Johnny Depp was a huge fan of The Fast Show, and allegedly once described Paul Whitehouse as one of the all time best actors. Of all his characters on The Fast Show, my own personal favourite is Rowley Birkin QC...I recommend you seek out one of those sketches. Best wishes from North Yorkshire
The Fast Show is BRILLIANT! Please react more!
But then....I was very, very drunk at the time. Rowley Birkin, QC
Great reaction. JD struggling to not smirk, obviously influenced him in his later career 😂
By far the best "Ooh suit you sir!" the last one with Johnny Depp.
Do some more Fast Show please. I fuckin' loved it in the 90s. Ted and Ralph was my fave, bizarre, odd, awkward but so clever
Ted and Ralph, yes!
The fast show is one one the greatest British shows ever made. Eh fefefefe, Scorchio fefefefe, Chris Waddle.
If you know, you know
The Fast Show was the only show I'd wait in to watch before going out on a Friday night. Soooo good.
Fast Show is something you should be watching a lot of.....IT'S BRILLIANT!!! 😉Alas, this week you are mostly only be watching one clip.
If you get into The Fast Show, try to avoid the final episode until you are familiar with the characters. The makers of The Fast Show didn't just keep running until the interest waned and another series just wasn't commissioned. They ended the show when they felt it was right to do so and therefore the final episode was written and recorded with that in mind. Because of this, the final episode includes some surprisingly poignant final moments for some of their most loved characters, often involving a dramatic subversion of their comedic catchphrase. The final moments for Rowley Birkin QC sticks with me to this day for it's unexpected emotional switch and stunningly heartfelt acting.
Was a great sketch show. I remember a Latino sketch were they kept saying "scorchio!"
lol so chuffed you dig the FastShow vibe
Paul Whitehouse, a guy with no formal acting traing whatsoever, has been lauded by Johnny Depp as one the greatest actors in the world.
The drinking game sketch is a great one to watch. Takes a while but is worth it.
"As you pull your old fellow old sir n give it too some dirty bit off rough under a bridge ohh" 😂😂😂...The term "Ohh suits you sir" became part off British culture after the tailor sketches came out this being most famous one...people everywhere said it and still do can use it in almost any situation just like if somebody is just showing you the bottle off wine they just bought you cam say "Ohh suits you sir" and you will get the saying back from the other person good fun lol..
As I understand the point behind these characters was based on the creators experience with how personal and familiar tailors actually get.
EB , you did say you'd ask for the other assistant sir , and there he was lol........Might be Depps finest performance , how did he keep a straight face ?
He nearly didn't a few times! 😂😂
And….. “You ain’t seen me, right?”
This takes me back. Also a lot of truth in that American soldier joke., "over paid over sexed and over here" was a saying for a reason, what with all our young men being away or dead, my old man one was of the bastards that was produced from the era.
Cant exactly blame me gran, basically no men around and a good looking, you g and very rich (compared to the locals) solider makes a move. Unfortunately for her it meant being kicked of of her very good grammar school and sent to a "school for wayward women", and she couldn't get a job after that.
Having a bastard child was not looked kindly upon at the time.
and the saying "She's got American knickers, one yank and they're off"
The American GI's replied "You are underpaid,underfed and under Eisenhower".
Somewhere online is a photo of a British tank in Iraq with"Shoots You Sir" painted along its main gun barrel, this show was huge in its day
The Fast Show was one of the best sketches shows ever made. I don't say this lightly as I love this sort of thing, I say it because the writing was top notch, they had a mixture of styles which allowed a little something for everyone, and they managed to throw some thought provoking stuff into the mix. As always the sad reality is this show could not be made today on most mainstream outlets because it would be considered offensive. Yet we can always rely upon our friendly Eclectic Beard to expose a new audience to this material.
I hope you had a most excellent Christmas and New Year.
Absolute comedy. Love it.
The Fast Show broadcast as 'Brilliant' in the US.
You've just walked into the catchphrase capital of the world.
You ain't seen me, right?
Depp was a great fan of the show. And Mr Weasley before he found magic... Worth checking out the other sketches.
Try The Fast Show Jazz Club sketches, especially Jeremy Kwee
It’s hard coming into a sketch when the characters evolved over years. Great job btw
Can't beat the creativity of British comedy 🤪
If you are doing The Fast Show, EB, I'd recommend the "Swiss" Tony sketches, Rowley Birkin. QC and also Bob Fleming, as being among the more memorable and (sort of) accessible bits.
birkin was genius, especially that one time it was a very sad story.
ARSE!
Unlucky Alf and his parrot was one of my favourites
@@scottythedawg Yes that was actually sad. You could see a tear in Paul's eye.
“Dad’s home!”
I'm glad you found The Fast Show it's MAD but The League of Gentleman is the most sinister dark deeply weird comedy if you've the stomach for it, happy viewing . I love your channel and especially I liked the Victoria Cross one, I didn't know any of that but it was enthralling.
Brilliant show Dave your my wife now. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good morning jobseekers oh look it's half past 9
Are you local?
Check out more of their sketches.
Great reaction! 😄
Johnny depp actually said Paul whitehouse (first suit man) was one of the finest actors he had worked with. Remember this so well loved the show but like other comments say it took a few episodes to get into. Love the channel keep it up mate
Johnny Depp is a 100% Anglophile - and he 'gets' us completely. That's why we love 'im..........................
You'll love this show it is still brilliant to this day.
Best sketch show of all time. Can you react to Fast Show - Chipp Cobb Deaf Stuntman please? Comedy gold.
Absolute golden oldie 👌
So many characters in the fast show to mention but all brilliant..must watch!
Oh my God… If you only just discovered the fast you are about to undertake a rollercoaster ride
Johnny Depp in Lifes Too Short was an absolute scream aswell....
One of the TOP 5 comedies made,along with yes minister/prime minister,dads arm and the good life.
There are so many unique British catchphrases that emanate from this programme 😂apart from “suits you sir” accompanied by a lot of suggestive ooohs, we have “….and I was ver ver ver drunkkkkk…” “scorchio!” “I’m a little bit shwooo, a little bit swayyy..” “like mekkin lurve to a beeyotifall wumman” (said in a Swiss accent ☺️😆) and “competitive dad” 🤣🤣 and Caroline Aherne (RIP funny lady) on the checkouts serving a customer with his “one person meal…” that was cringingly funny! 🤣oh yes, the Fast Show… excellent viewing but not for the easily offended! 😱🤣🤣
welcome to The Fast Show , IT'S BRILLIANT , but, this week I aremostlybineatin prunes.......................................watch and understand lol
Was on BBC 2 in the nineties. Basically comedy sketches, it was sooooo funny.
the fast show was a great tv show these 2 and johnny painter used have me crying with laughter and unlucky and jazz club cooool, niice ,groovy
Paul whitehouse is a genius
The whole thing of the Americans going straight for the women was also referenced in one of the episodes of dad's army.
My favourite from the 'Fast Show' was Rowley Birkin Q.C. along wth Ron Manager.
"The Fast Show?! BRILLIANT!!"
When you watch the rest of the shows, you'll get that one...😁
And if you thought that sketch was a touch risky, wait until you see the Channel 9 Ground Force skit (although, for reference, you would need to watch a 25yr-old UK garden makeover show to get the "Nice Dimmocks" reference).
seen Mark Williams a lot as he lives in the town near where I live. The fast show was classic, especially jazz club or inspector Monkfish
Johnny Depp famously said that Paul Whitehouse, the dark haired guy here, was one of the greatest living actors due to the many different characters he played on The Fast Show.
The Johnny Nice Painter character and sketches are bizarre but hilarious and get more so with each episode.
Rowley Birkin QC was the best character in the Fast Show, he was awesome 😎
Those Harry Potter actors turn up everywhere, don't they? "Banged anyone yet sir?" Sayeth Ron Weasley's dad.
Johnny is a big fan of the fast show & he loves our British sense of humour
In the uk there was even a suit shop called ‘suits you’
You really need to watch more of these sketches and more Fast Show in general.
Johnny Depp was so good looking on this sketch 😍 🇬🇧
Depp loved the Fast Show. He practically begged to be on it.
The best Fast Show character was Johnny the Painter. You won't be disappointed :-)
Love the fast show after watching the whole clip the beast cupping fits well lol
Absolutely brilliant EB .Happy new year .
The Swiss Tony sketches are a must
The Fast Show is very, 'silly.'
'Today, I'll be mostly eating....'
Yet again, another superb reaction, please, keep up the good work. Love from Scotland!.
Oh you will love the Fast Show, so many amazing characters. This is the tip of the iceberg! 😅
I'm not Pissed is my favourite.
You must watch their sketch from The Fast Show called Ted Your Wife’s Dead 🤣🤣🤣
Love Depp getting involved!! OHH OH OOOO OOOO OHH 🤣🤣🤣
Thankyou so much for this british comedy gold
The fast show was absolute genius. May I recommend any 'Unlucky Alf' compilation? I've cried buckets laughing 🤣
Watch more of the fast show. It is a classic. Depp loved it apparently
The fast show is absolute comedy gold.
