“FORK IT!” Is my favourite remark, but Withnail taking Marwood’s side about the sink after arguing is so funny, “don’t attempt anything without the gloves”
This is one of those films I watched like mad for a couple of years, lost my copy of it, didn't see it for ages and then when I finally did manage to get hold of it again I realised I'd been quoting chunks of it without remembering where the quotes came from. Lost count of the amount of times I've declared "the fucker will rue the day!" without linking it to Withnail. Not to mention the mock outrage of, "how dare you!"
you know i haven't really appreciated this scene until going to university and actually being face to such a pile of dirty dishes supporting its own ecosystem .... :) ahh
i've seen sinks in worse condition than that. the one i had to clean out once i'm sure was used as a makeshift toilet more than a time or 2 and the dishes in it were sitting in water that had mold and bacteria growing on the surface of it. in the end bleach and other industrial strength cleaners werent enough to get the dishes clean enough to be used again
As a stoned student I took a shit in the kitchen sink once because I had to use the toilet in someone elses room but they were in there with a bird. So I was too paranoid to knock on their door and just pushed one down the kitchen plug hole instead. Funny shit.
"Listen to me! LISTEN to me! There are THINGS in there. There's a tea bag, GROWING! And you haven't slept in 60 hours. You're in no state to tackle it. Wait 'til the morning: we'll go in together."
@Matthew Singer my dear chap: What are you doing on RUclips on Christmas Eve? Get you a mince pie, a glass of liqueur and watch an old Christmas movie.
there are actors born to play certain parts that only they could play and no one else. I am thinking of DeNiro in Raging Bull, Geroge C scott as Patton, David thewlis in Naked--and Richard Grant in Withnail and I
In 1971, just a couple years on the recent side of this film's setting, I showed up at Heathrow, a 21-year-old Canadian who knew nothing of the outside world. I ended up renting a room in a tiny suburban cottage from two straight bachelors, both engineering professionals about 7 years older than I was. They taught me how to party. One Monday after an especially sordid festivity, where the young professional women were the equal of their male escorts, I awoke to the devastation of what the weekend had wrought. I was the only one without a day job, so I got busy giving our little house, “Prune Cottage”, a stem-to-stern cleanup. On their arrival home from work, one of the guys said to me, “Been doing a little tidying up?” I knew this was the closest I would ever see a British guy to saying thanks, so I just smiled and said it was nothing.
withnail is the kind of film certain people like myself consider not only funny, brilliant, etc, but a certified masterpiece and yet when they reccomend it to other people, who then take their advice to actually watch and then say: whats so funny?
100% I knew a girl who had always wanted to watch it, had heard it was funny so I let her borrow my dvd, she said afterwards couldn't see what all the fuss was about! Could've chinned her
...... “ what is it, what have you found?” - “ matter!” cracks me up every time.

I spy with my little eye... someone else who's read the script! How else would you know he's called Marwood?😂

This! I've been saying "you beastly little parasite" and "it will die, it will die" for years without remembering why.
Every time something bad happens to be I shout in my head "how dare you!" and it is Richard saying it....I need to find a copy of this asap
I lose count of how many times I've yelled _"MONTY, YOU TERRIBLE CUNT!"_
@@sirandrelefaedelinoge And of course perhaps the most eloquent prelude to rape I've ever heard.
"I mean to have you, even if it be by burglary!"
But that wouldn't wash with Jeff. He'd like a bit of pleading. 😂
" Ive been i here too long. I feel unusual " Corona lockdown 2020
LOL!!!!!

So do I, so does everybody 😂
2021
Dark times indeed. At least we can go back to the old normal again now.
I Know this scene word for word! So many great quotes in this film.
Just about to do some hideous washing up. Thought I'd watch this first to feel some kind of support. Haven't found any matter yet.
"Jeff Wode" is the most perfect name ever. Bruce Robinson is a goddamn genius
You wouldn't say that to his face!
Withnail's line whilst Marwood is tackling the sink - 'Matter, where's it coming from' is absolute genius.
"...and start tossing his orb about!" Just brilliant script writing.

"This IS the morning! Stand aside!"
"Look at him, look at Jeff Wode!"
You've got soup,why didn't I get soup.
"The fucker's head must weigh fifty pounds!"
"I'm going to pull your head off because I don't like your head"

Imagine the size of the balls on him

''Offer him, yourself!!''
No one says "How dare you" like Withnail.

I imagined this story spoken by Withnail. It would not be out of place in the film.
No No No we are ethnically English, the ethnicity of British doesn't exist it is a political term of identity. 😉
That was very well written. Fire a comment here again if you ever attempt a novel.
Sorry but English people say thank you all the time...when they like you. This was not thanks. It was passive aggression.
Brilliant. Truly brilliant. Well done Sir.
The dark Side of the '60's. That kitchen mixed with the sleep deprivation and general paranoia makes the Manson murders look like a carry on film.
Hahahaha best comment
Look at him, this thatched head and ear lobes and cannonball is ready to step back into society and start tossing his orb about.. classic
Withnail's voice is so soft here
It's sped up
COVID free kitchen. Seriously though, one of the funniest films ever.
Fast forward 32 f*cking years , and FINALLY , he gets the Oscar nomination. Arse !
Rob Crabtree. I wish you were still here to watch this again. RIP. Love you
This is unique, just beyond compare.
I feel this sink struggle on a spiritual level.
I like to imagine they're one person having a conversation in their head
The Shakespeare of British Comedy.
"How DARE you?!"
As a perennial procrastinator I enjoy saying "wait until the morning" when it is the morning.
Do they ever tackle it though or do they just go to Uncles cottage in the country?
There's a teabag! Growing!
The "this IS the morning" line is just so perfect
This is like a more serious Bottom.
I'm surprised no one else has said that, it's a great comparison!
Holmes and Watson helairious
There's a teabag growing!!
FORK IT!
"i told you, you've been bit!" omg this film hahah
2:20 Me, every time I get enough energy to tackle my piled up dishes!
The Soup Joke! 😂 1:55
Oh but Richard e grant! Ooo errrrrrrrr so fabulous just getting fabulous errrrrr lol!
Matter? Where is it coming from ?
Paul McGann!
.. we'll never be able to use the dinner service again
Awesome film, great clip from it, thank you, lmao!
My heart's beating like a fucked clock!
This must be the most quoted lines in any film Ever.
its a strange thing, but i always think about Jenny Agutter with Richard, they have that same accent and delicacy of speech.
"...sinew and nicotine based..."

Tell them you're going to pull their head off, because you don't like their head.
100% I knew a girl who had always wanted to watch it, had heard it was funny so I let her borrow my dvd, she said afterwards couldn't see what all the fuss was about! Could've chinned her
don't be cunts to people who don't like things you like, that's my advice
@jackiwannapaint: I understand. I get so depressed sometimes and I think about scenes in this movie and smile so hard that my face hurts. 😁
Why didn't I get any soup!?
This is definitely going to be my house next year when all the real work starts
That cooker burner needs a service - it’ll kill them if left alight with the windows closed- they best keep on uppers 😂❤️from hordle
MATTHER ,were is coming from?2022
Withnail and I - the story of my life.
And after all that, it's Marwood that ends up washing up.
Look at him!!!!!! Look at Geoff Woade!!!
"Why don't you use a cup like any other human being?"
"Why don't you wash up occasionally like any other human being?"
XD
3:31 Proof that the writers of Red Dwarf watched this film
THE FUCKING KETTLES ON FIRE
"There is a tea bag growing"
Such a great movie
the kitchen rocks 😂
Was expecting them to start hitting each other with pans
Definately worse than compost. Owh i love this, thanks One Love :)
Bully for you Goeff Woad

The Heart Of The Matter

That wouldn’t wash with Jeff!
My heart's beating like a fu$ked clock
