I hope that whoever came up with the Arnold Rimmer song got a bonus in their paycheck for such brilliance.
He/she did, but then Disney sued him/her and it ended up with even their distant ancestors owing millions.
Howard Goodall, does most of the music for Red Dwarf.
Howard Goodall usually just writes the music but clearly did singing duties here as well!
Gmackematix This could also be called "The Trump experience" Just sayin
J. Macleod Omg they shoud make one about Trump.
And if Lister were to write his own version of the song...
He’s weak and he's spineless, come what will
His level of incompetence is quite unreal
His anecdotes of grandeur are all but spiel
He’s Smeghead, Smeghead, Smeghead Rimmer
Of stress and strife, he is the bringer
He'll wear your patience ever thinner
He will put you through the wringer
He’s Smeghead, Smeghead, Smeghead Rimmer
He’s an even bigger square than Seymour Skinner
He’ll make a frowner of a grinner
He will never be a winner
Master of the phoney camaraderie
He’ll swiftly squash your prospects of joy and glee
How come he’s such a smeghead? It’s a mystery
He’s Smeghead, Smeghead, Smeghead Rimmer
He's also a fantastic fibber
His every remark makes my skin quiver
How I hate to hear him blither
👍
I can't stop laughing. That's amazing! XD
Brilliant
👏
Fucking DAMN you, I had to sing that out loud to see if it fit the song.
And it does. Fucking damn you! :p.
Cat, "100% successful trip!"
Kryten, "But sirs, we've lost Mr Rimmer...!"
Cat, "...100% successful trip!"
Whenever I have a successful vacation or large errand or life event where a bunch of good stuff got done, I always quote Cat when he says "all in all, a 100 percent successful trip!"
We lost them buddy but look on the bright side, We lost them buddy!.
"Mr Rimmer! Sir! They've taken Mr Rimmer!"
"Quick, let's get out of here, before they bring him back."
“There gone buddy, but look on the bright side, there gone buddy!!”
@@MATNJAN1 Watching you guys butcher words and quotes is very cringey
I just found out Chris Barrie was considered to play the Ninth Doctor. Seriously.
Heck, they wanted Tim Curry for the 8th Doctor. Imagine that.
really? he coulda been good
ShadowSonic2 He actually has a good deal of eccentricity that would have been brilliant for the Doctor, would have much preferred him for 8.
RandyPantheGoatBoy Yeah I can imagine him being a smeghead behind the TARDIS console and driving his companions insane.
.
I love how the exit door says Toodlepipski!
"Welcome to the Rimmer experience. A place of wonder, excitement, and.......................wonder."
Chris Barrie is awesome!!!
The sad thing is, if you look deeper past it. He felt he was useless on the ship, that no one really liked him and that he was held back. All the times he tried to better himself he failed and to him that made him feel terrible. So he dreamed that he was impoirtant and smart and brave so he wouldnt feel so sad. Its actually saddening to see such things and even in light of this they still hate him... Poor rimmer
That’s a joke right?
Nah he was a smeghead who blamed everyone else for his own incompetence and failures.
But in light of all that, he can take solace in the fact he was Alexander the greats chief eunech!!
Charlie Calafato, you are 100 percent correct.
Smeghead Rimmer.
He's one of the best characters on tv
hahahahahaha the bit where Lister says "I owe my life to him" and they simultaneously grin is absolutely brilliant!
Breaks me every time lol
Wow you wrote this comment 14 years ago lol
@@albo181 If they were traveling at 0.999% lightspeed they would have only experienced 7 months due to time relativity and dilation.
"He's also a fantastic swimmer" cracks me up laughing every time, I love references to his swimming certificates!
Arnold Judas Rimmer, BSc. SSc.
"& he DOESN'T need a ZIMMER"...hahahaha ;)
And yet he did not know how to swim! Is it a squid induced reality... or is it???
You're about to witness some heroic events, which you may well find impossible to attribute to any living person. But then, Arnold J Rimmer wasn't a living person. He was a hologram.
Stoke me a clipper, I'll be back for Christmas.
Correct version : Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
Superhen - Songs and gaming
I know, that's what Arnold said when he left to be the new Ace Rimmer.
What a guy!
@@DkSchadow ha ha, totally forgot that one. What a smeeeeg heeeead.
He's a smeee. He's a smeee
matt8220 He's a smee-heee!
matt8220 He's a smeee He's a smeee He's a smeee heee He's a smeg head
A complete and total one.
+matt8220 (Throws up the bird) Swivel on it, punk!
"He's a Smeee Heaaa!!!!"
What a guy.....
Yehhhhhhhhh
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
If you play your cards right, then he might just come round for dinner.
I owe my life to him...😃
S Cameron He just shows up for breakfast. 😂
When I first watched this I was actually crying with laughter, the tears were dripping down my face for about half hour after this.
Me too, utter genius
Actually, I thought the episode Backwards was great.
Lister " where's the cat? ".
Rimmer " you know, in the bushes. ".
Idly looking around suddenly looks at each other.
" We've got to stop him! ".
Lols!!
Still laughing everytime
It's genius, but it makes me sad. Red Dwarf is so melancholic. Very funny, but always makes me think of death.
Screaming and falling off my seat when I first saw it
"I owe my life to him" :| .... :D
Classic xD
Somebody save us before I wet me keks!
“What am I a woodwork teacher”
That is absolute genius. I suspect Howard goodall given the melody and orchestration. What a gift to leave us as fans. I miss ref dwarf.
I remember this series being a bit disappointing for me since Rimmer left the cast and Kochanski got added, which I felt kind of ruined the chemistry the cast had going on. But this episode saved it for me. It was the highlight of the series. The song alone made watching the series worth it.
Yeah, she ruined it
@@iambored2094 Can't hate a bit of eye candy. Not that Rimmer's bulge wasn't spectacular in that bicycling outfit from a previous season 😂
She was the Jump the Shark moment in Red Dwarf
Without any offence to the fantastic cast of Red Dwarf, it was at this moment that we realised the lead character had actually been Rimmer all along. Whilst we were distracted by the overtones of it being all about Lister, we somewhat failed to notice that it was really about the tragic life and early death of Arnold J Rimmer B.S.C. What a guy.
Chris Barrie always had top billing.... What a guy!
Thank you Thank you. I alwas favoured Rimmer despite his attitude, because he was a far more interesting charactr to delve into. He was always the lead for me, giving such interesting stories to follow and such amazing performances! Holo ship and other emotionally charged episodes like it proove how pivotal a character he is.
I guess I'm a weirdo but I always found Rimmer the most relatable character.
And Rimmer's alter-ego... Ace Rimmer : "Throw some kippers on the barbie and I'll be back in a flash."
what a guy
This I believe is when lister admits to krypton that he misses Rimmer and comes out with the line I’ve never forgotten,I miss the way he only uses three pieces of toilet paper ,one up one down and one to polish.
Kryten crated a VR metaphor of toilet paper? I mean that last polish is gleaming!
The sheer fact that Lister knew exactly how Rimmer is using toilet paper...
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
his light-bulb couldn't get much dimmer
His antics really make one simmer
he really is a smeghead!
Lol, yeah, create a parody :D
I'm gonna copy-paste this for joking elsewhere. Hope you don't mind.
(I'm still doing this even if you do. Its too good a chance to pass up. I did however copy out this whole song:
If you're in trouble he will save the day,
He's brave and he's fearless come what may,
Without him the mission would go as-tray
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold rimm-er,
Without him life would be much grimm-er,
He's handsome, trim, and no-one's slimm-er
He will nev-er need a zimm-er.
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold rimm-er,
More reliable than a gar-den Strim-er,
He's never been mistaken for your brin-er
He got bald, and his head doesn't glim-er
Master of the wit and the repartee,
His command of space directives is un-canny,
How come he's such a genius? don't ask me,
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold rimm-er,
He's also a fantastic swimm-er
And if you play your cards right, then he just might cooome back for dinn-er.)
"He's never been mistaken for Yul Brynner
He's not bald, and his head doesn't glimmer."
Also, it's come "round" for dinner.
Thank you. I shall now promptly not correct myself.
Up there with My lovely horse and The lumberjack... Fantastic
I love that line Kryten says at the end "Sigmund Freud, eat your heart out."
Its honestly something you would never expect someone to say ever.
it's really a testament to the actor and writers that Rimmer comes off so bad at the end of this... but you still kinda miss him. "what a smegger" is all I can think of at the end of this video.. but with a smile.
Good thing he is back
Aw man I met Chris Barrie today, such a friendly guy! :')
What a guy!
Asome
Smoke me a kipper, i'll be back for breakfast.
Lucky! Hopefully I’ll be meeting him in s September!
Stoke me a clipper, I'll be back for Christmas
Best britcom ever.......long May it reign.....
lone wolf 12 IS HERE!
Most of the Britcoms that started in the eighties were/are at the top of their game - just look at Red Dwarf, Blackadder, Bottom, The Young Ones
only fools and horses.
Still watching it on Netflix as we speak!
I am now irresistibly compelled to dig out my old dvds now.
Curse you, nostalgia!
These were one of the few DVDs out of dozens I converted to MP4 to have on my Apple TV. You never know when you have to share RD with someone who's never seen it.
I'm glad they brought him back. "I hear they're throwing the book at you Listy, followed by the bookcase, followed by the library, brick by brick."
Someone needs to make a VR version of this!
I’d buy a VR headset just for that.
Sweet. Jesus.
what create more nightmare fuel?
It would end civilization as we know it.
I would imagine that the motion sickness alone would kill most people lol
One of the best shows of all time.
“He’s not bald and his head doesn’t glimmer”!
Ironic
Happy 60th birthday 🎂 Chris Barrie 🎉 🍾
I was first introduced to British comedy in the early 70s, via Monty Python, across the pond here in the States. Red Dwarf is one of my favourites. Thank you, GB! Your style of humor has no equal! Highly entertaining.
black books could be something you may like as well
You should watch bottom.
Why thank you! We are proud of our ridiculous comedy
I always thought Monty Python wasn't that funny, it became very popular in America but its not hahaha funny, its more like ha funny.
@@Mike--Oxmall Red Dwarf was HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! funny for me, in any location.
Still one of the best Red Dwarf sequences.
The official BBC youtube and 240p is the best you could offer us on this piece of history?!
Yeah - I was just going to comment that the version I recorded on my Mac Quadra in the 1990's was better than this!
Lister? Don't deny it: you know you enjoyed that little jingle. Your cute bouncing was proof enough LOL
This, this and Mr Flibber with Arnos in the gingham dress.
Proper comedy sci-fi. So beautifully written and then accurately realised by a great cast.
I remember watching this as a kid and laughing hard at this bit.
+Richard Strong I remember seeing this with my dad and he was laughing his head off.
I really loved red dwarf when I was a kid too.. just started watching all the episodes again. It's a shame the video quality isn't as good as we're used to these days but it's still really fantastic and enjoyable to watch
I remember watching this on RUclips three minutes ago
My brother and I laughed so hard that we fell both eventually fell off the sofa 😂
I am a kid and this made me laugh TIL I was dead
>the ego?
Says the Cat.
Sang this at school for about a week
Uncle Arnie is quite the singer ain't he boys?
If I say no will you get cross
The real question is..... "...who will clean up the mess?"
The King of the Potato People agrees.
He did't sing it. It was sung by someone else and Chris lip synched it.
Heidi Myers I knew he was a smeghead.
As an American who was blessed by this show on public television: I love this show, I love it so much.
It's always a pleasure to hear about our brothers across the ocean getting as much enjoyment as we from Red Dwarf, I am still of the mind that, generally speaking, the comedy and writing is a touch too "British" for a wider appreciation over there, but it makes it all the more special whenever I do meet/speak to someone such as yourself who cherishes it.
As a brief aside, if you haven't read the novels yet, I highly recommend them, not only are they exceptionally funny, but (and this may not be particularly important to you, but it is to me lol) they're also (for the most part, there's a brief dip in quality in one of the books) exemplary science fiction books in of themselves. Something that they could have easily not have bothered with and they still would have been as popular.
If the notion of reading them is a bit too daunting (they're quite large books), I have good news, Chris Barrie provided the narration for all the audiobook versions, and be it that his first interaction with the media world was as an impressionist, you can be rest assured that all the boys from the dwarf are suitably voiced.
British humour is the best. Also check out BOTTOM and BLACKADDER
What a smeee..What a smeee...What a smeee-heeee!
The Cat to Lister : " Face it man...they're gone buddy. But look on the bright side...THEY'RE GONE BUDDY!!!"
I was not expecting this while watching the show, I was laughing so hard i didn't even hear the song properly. This scene and Ace riding the crocodile through the aur are my Achilles heel scenes, i could be on my deathbed full of depression and I will laugh at this.
What a guy...
What a guy!
“Is this going to work Kryten?” Rimmer “LIE MODE ENGAGED, OF COURSE SIR!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
When Chris left the series it was proof he was a huge part of it's success as he was missed terribly. Thank god he came back for 8. He left as he was happy doing the Brittas Empire, but he started to hate that show and missed Red Dwarf & which of the two is still talked about today? I tried re-watching Brittas and it has not stood the test of time at all.
They way they wrote red dwaf was amazing, it was all about wit not what's happened in the past week
I like both of them
Chris was missed terribly, and so is Rob Grant. When he left the writing staff the quality of the scripts went down quite a lot.
giles852002 red dwarf just wasn’t red dwarf without rimmer. Like sheldon makes the Big Bang and Gibbs makes NCIS.
I stopped watching red dwarf once rimmer left. It just wasn’t the same without him.
Britass was a inane and diabolically bad show.
Arnold Arnold Arnold Rimmmmed! He's also a fantastic swimmer...
One of thew shows that redeems bbc for short while
2:08 Fake Lister: "I owe my life to him." Real Lister's face - HILARIOUS :D
2:18 Lister's expression - PRICELESS
LMAO
This is the best ever, Red Dwarf was, and still is pure genius and nothing will ever come close to exceeding its ability to make you laugh your head off.
I liked Red Dwarf as a kid, but some of the episodes used to scare me. I remember waking up from a nap and 2:25 was on the TV screen. I have never been filled with such mortifying fear, I was so terrified of puppet Rimmer, especially when there's loads of them dancing across the screen. Looking back at it now I think it was the way they moved
As a fellow Rimmer, I always enjoy singing the song and replacing his name with mine xD
lol had red dwarf nights years ago with a few friends where we were each a character as nominated by the others i was nominated rimmer
That could be taken as extreme innuendo. :P
Does Mr Flibble know about this?
Smeg head
Rimmer's song is pure genius!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 So funny!
It's...beautiful.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast!
What a guy...
That's Arnold J Rimmer!
We're lucky to be alive!
**Dies**
I don't even want to think about how long it's been since I first saw this. So many years. I had hair and no gut, and the world wasn't yet a total disappointment. And it's still one of the best things ever.
That song and puppet dance at the end is the stuff of nightmares.
the grin on kochanski's face at the end is great!
Chris Barry (Rimmer) was such a part of the show that Kochanski character couldnt really fill the gap when he left; was a shame the actress was good. Red Dwarf remains one of my fave shows.
Such a long time ago.... yet still makes me feel as if I was a child again.
Classic theme. Was humming it to myself at work, nobody has a clue! I guess there is no explanation for it, they had to have been there to witness this great show.
Awesome.
Lookit him..
in the right little tiny puppet boots, he could be marchin' into little tiny puppet Poland.
This is the perfect summary of my brain during lessons
Classic, this will last forever in the halls of great British comedy moments.
2:57 Craig trying so hard not to laugh
The Rimmer munchkins will forever live in my nightmares.
Watched this 3 days ago and still can't get this song out of my head.
i never noticed the exit door says toodle pipski! :D hilarious!
this was buried in my mind for over a decade. I remember my dad had the video and song saved on his phone in probably 2007? and I used to ask him to put it on all the time. recently started watching Red Dwarf and my brain made the connection. really good show so far (just finished episode 3)
Gazpacho Soup! Lol! Hands down one of the best shows ever written, acted and produced.
2:15
In case you want a replay button for just the song.
In 2:58, you can see Craig really losing it
What a guy.
My morning wouldn't be complete without this.
You know not how long the arnold rimmer song has been stuck in my head.
It has been years since i last watched this show.
Blue is one of my favorite episode from Season 7. I've seen it so many times and it's so funny.
This must have been the hardest scene to film in red dwarf.
Red Dwarf was always funny but sometimes they really hit the spot. So good.
This will be stuck in my head for weeks now.
More reliable than a garden trimmer.....
Arnold Arnold Arnold Rimmer without him life would be much grimmer.
Victoria Grace, How much?
A lot. Red Dwarf needed Rimmer so Kryten started stealing Rimmer characteristics but Rimmer mixed up with Kryten inside Kryten is a toxic mixture. Kryten has gone insane.
Victoria Grace Well, that's true. Rimmer's sole purpose was to keep Lister sane. I guess that went for Kryten as well.
Ruth Rene And Victoria Grace.
Not quite correct. Both the Cat and kryten's appearance on Red Dwarf, was beyond Hollys control.The Cat was already on Red Dwarf albeit it took 3 million years to become what he is now. (holly had no control over him) (call it evolution if you will) (the Cat is A Cat) Kryten was found/rescued from the Nova 5, a crashed space ship, again Holly had no control over Kryten coming aboard Red Dwarf( not that holly would ever object anyway, It wasn't in the script) Rimmer's hologram however was generated by holly and as you correctly say, to keep Dave Lister sane. You should also remember that continuity is not one of Red Dwarf's strong points and why should it be? The best way to watch Red Dwarf is not to ask questions or try and make sense of it but merely watch what you see. Although it may help if you actually watched Red Dwarf from the beginning to part understand who is who and why. after that? who cares and what does it matter anyway?
can't believe how young craig charles looks here when was this from 1998?
12 years and in absolute hysterics!!
The one scene i am trying to find, is the complete scene to lister fighting the knight!
does anyone know where i can find it?
LISTER OF SMEG!
@@renlentlesstourist7574 - dailymotion has all of the episodes 🙌
I ran into Craig Charles in a bar when I was a van driver in the 00s. Absolute top bloke.
Any reference to Yul Brynner immediately brings me back to this song. It's up there with Rory Calhoun being that guy who is always standing up and walking around
I wonder what it looked like before scaled down the ego
Found myself missing old Rimsy. After watching this, I found I'm not missing him so much anymore lol. No, I'm kidding; I'm actually missing his snobbish smeg-head even more :)
FeistyGreenSnake this episode helped you filled up on Rimmer until the next season
The man, the memories, the personality, the ego lol 😆 😂
God this brings back memories from when i was a kid with my red dwarf tapes
Did Chris Barrie ever done a audiobook? He sounds like he can narrate a story very well. I’ve heard Chris’ voice in the old 90s and 80s adverts and he sounded very charming.
He actually narrated the Red Dwarf books the show is based on. It's fantastic because he does all the voices brilliantly. They're on RUclips.
He is an incredibly talented impressionist! He read the first few books of the Red Dwarf novelization (which is possibly even more fun than the show btw) and did such an excellent job, he makes the subsequent readers look rather pathetic.
I love this scene. I laughed so hard the first time I saw it that I had tears running down my face! :-D
I love how the exit door says "Toodle Pipsky" hahaha.
The delight of first seeing this masterpiece
This & the grave of his past, are just brilliant Rimmer moments & fab dancing. I also like the white teeth smile- sooo funny
This also reminds me of Harry Hill to
Red dwarf was one of the most brilliant comedies in history
Red Dwarf is The Best sci-fi series ever!
"You are about to witness events you may find impossible to attribute to any living person, but then again Arnold J. Rimmer was...
*a hologram for most of the show's run*
Wish they’d release an official Arnold Rimmer plush doll, that would be cracking 😂
I dont know why, but Listers face sets me off every time at 02:57 😂😂
He's trying so hard not to laugh.
The song with the graphics is absolutely brilliant.
I think this scene alone made Blue one of the best episodes in my opinion.
Blue is definitely my favourite episode.
this scene and the Hitler speech from kryten at max volume XD
+Erik A Oh god that bit 😂
My Fav episode was The Western
This is probably one of the best scenes of series 7. While not my favourite series (that would probably be 6), it does have some great moments. The bit with Kryten in the tank is also great.
