I have to agree with you about this being the best Unluky Alf sketch. I remember my brother and I almost suffocated with laughter when watching this. Genius!
Seem to remember this was the very first sketch off of 'The Fast Show'. Still my favourite comedy sketch of all time. Love the way Alf deflates as the parrot let's rip. #twat.
Is it Charlie doing the parrot voice? I love this sketch, remember driving up the motorway with a mate doing it and we were both howling with laughter!
The genius of Paul Whitehouse in making you laugh at and feel for these characters at the same time. (Oh, and convincingly playing an old man in his 20s.)
I remember the first time I watched this on TV I laughed so hard I thought Id die but I always remember it being way much longer does anyone know if theres a longer version fit ?
Personally I think that The Fast Show and Little Britain are brilliant shows. People shouldn't compare because The Fast Show was similar to Harry Enfield and Friends in some ways and Enfield. The only truly original sketch show is Monty Python's Flying Circus. Everything since has just been about bizarre characters and the situations they get into. So all that matters is whether the characters make you laugh or not. If anyone hates Little Britian, that's fine but don't talk about it here.
LOL. Only in Britain could you get such mean-spirited comedy. Does anyone else feel an undercurrent of tragedy to lonely old Alf and his monumentally depressing life?
Oh, no DavidTL, it's painfully funny. What I was saying was, no other country could produce humour like this or Fawlty Towers or the original Office. So much of British comedy is about a theatre of cruelty. Fast Show had some of the meanest humour like Competitive Dad who used to cajole his soninto playing games he could mercilessly trounce him at. Miss this show.
Paul Whitehouse is, of course, a product of the English class system. A way of life that all can enjoy: the lower class looking down at the lower class in lifeless pubs. Now all shut, sadly. Whilst I, am an Eton bully.

I love the way they eye each other up when he takes the cover off. The parrot looks as if its thinking, 'you have no idea!'
I cried with laughter. "Twat. Twat. Twat. Twat. Twat. Twat. Twat." Never has that word sounded funnier than in this sketch. Sublime.
That Bird should have thrown in a “Someone’s sitting there, mate!” for good measure!

I love the way the parrot just stares at him when alf is looking at the parrot.
Paul Whitehouse is one of the world's best comedy (& straight) actors...what a talent!
I think Johnny depp said that about him
Brilliant in ‘Death of Stalin.’
HAHAHAHA! Its just the fact that the parrot over does the whole Twat thing! This is so musch funnier than Little Britain!

#twat.
The Fast Show........BRILLIANT !!!
Never really got in to it.
I'm on a Whitehouse kick lol can't stop 🤣
One of THE best sketches of all time ..pure comedy gold.
I find it funny that a parrot can swear.
I laugh every time, that's how good it is...
Funniest Unlucky Alf ever! I watched this over at a friends place and we were both pissing ourselves.
Never seen this one, what a delight.

Hahahahaha i just can't stop laughing
One of the funniest sketches ever.

Best sketch on the fast show ever lol lmao
A scene that manages to be hilarious but also terribly sad. Paul Whitehouse was so good at fusing humour with pathos.

Total classic!!!
The Fast Show, the best comedy ever.
I wish this would air on Hulu / Netflix.
He calls him twat soooo funny!!!!
After Johnny painter this is my favourite
Is it Charlie doing the parrot voice? I love this sketch, remember driving up the motorway with a mate doing it and we were both howling with laughter!
Yes the voice is Charlie Higson.

I agree entirely old chap, which is why I consider it my onerous duty to point out to you that "grammatical" has two M's in it.
Paul Whitehouse was always a class above Harry Enfield in the comedy stakes. funny as f**k
Its "grammatical" lol!

Little Britain is not comedy.
