What i always found fascinating about the Fast Show is that many of it's sketches are funny while simultaneously are sad. Like this one, for example. Sure, some are silly but most are very realistic.
Ted and Ralph. It's funny but it transcends comedy and becomes something much more. Because you want them to just be happy and themselves. Also, that one with the drunk old guy, I was very very drunk. There's one incredibly sad one. The fast show is absolutely amazing. I saw a few sketches as a kid when it was on channel 4 but I watched them all last year and it's brilliant. Pure genius.
I like it how it throws the cameraman off. He's geared up to zoom in on the saxophonist then has to abruptly cut back to the drummer for the third time.
For the young who may not get these sketches - well back in the 60's (black and white TV) we had shows on TV like this (obviously meant to be serious about jazz). From my point of view, being a child of the 50's (also a lover of jazz) find this absolutely hilarious. Wish they did more.
If you look for Jazz 625 on youtube you will see a lot of clips from the times in black and white. Also when the Old Grey Whistle Test first came on air (BBC) you can see the style of introduction.
Now Now Rich....don't be like that...I just started a new job with a new van with DAB so can listen to Jazz FM again. When it gets like that just turn over to Magic Soul or Absolure 80s like the rest of us. 😁😁 Have a cracking weekend Mate.
I went to a club called the Ceasefire Jazz club. What a load of rubbish that was! When I went in there bullets were flying all round the place! I just managed to get out of there in 1 piece!
When this first came out (Jazz Club) I hated it because it was too close to the truth. (I was a working musician. All styles and all genres, especially Jazz) Everything about every band featured was musically correct, but exaggerated to create the comedy. The names of the musicians and artists and bands. All too close for comfort. But now, after many years of seeing how good and funny it is, it is actually the reality of the real world of jazz that is weirdly hysterically hilarious.
@@wtglb The trouble with this is, you are effectively making fun of someone who has memory loss/partial dementia due to aging. Is it normal to laugh at dementia now then?

Paul Whitehouse's absolutely stellar "just being there, absent/present" demeanor at the beginning and then thawing/unthawing. Brilliant.
The Fast Show - best British comedy ever!
I love the fact Louie has to smoke outside in 2014
hilarious and so detailed, every moment is a gem
Rumour has it the drummer is still being introduced
Yes, and inventing a myriad of new riffs every...single...time...
@@elainebmackYou mean fills?
The “jazz” hair is spot on. I knew a brilliant sax player who sported exactly the host’s style.
I saw a bass clarinettist in London years ago who still played at 80! Standing ovation.
Formidable!.........is my all time favourite.

Comedy is ultimately tragedy
@@Inthemixmedia
Yes..
Absolutely. That's why it was so good. Everyone could relate in some way.
Never on channel 4@@thatoneguychad420
I heard that Tony Bennett said that he loved this sketch. Then he said that he loved this sketch.
It was five minutes and 5 more vids before I got your line. Nice.
I would soooooooooooooooo love to see this done as a complete song

What channels were they on and what were the names of the shows?

@@jeanettesamuel5437 I presume the "625" referred to the new High Definition TV standard? :D
@@ian_b you have it in a Nutshell - Nice!
So sad! 😞
I've watched the actual gig about 20 times over. My chest hurts.
Same here!!!!
Genius ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice...
Better days,sadly passed . . Comedy genius
Love this but I'd have liked to have found out who was playing the drums.
Paul Whitehouse is a great singer.
That shiny pudding bowl hairstyle sported by our compere is just spot on revolting. Accurate and repulsive simultaneously, cooool.
This was brilliant!
Never ever fails…Brilliant
Absolutely brilliant!
Jazz FM is still like this
Now Now Rich....don't be like that...I just started a new job with a new van with DAB so can listen to Jazz FM again. When it gets like that just turn over to Magic Soul or Absolure 80s like the rest of us. 😁😁 Have a cracking weekend Mate.
Bring them back..pls
Was that Clam on Bass?
Looks like the bassist from Madness
naturally
@@tjtanner500 beat me to it 😂👍
@@paulkielty3800 clem fandango was doing promo
He was following that A-A-B-A structure. Contemporary...
Subbed. Love the fast show.
Hello Joe
Met Paul in he bank once - lovely bloke
You could have asked him to do a sketch for you.
Mark Bedford of Madness on the bass there!
So let's hear it for Matt Penrose, on the drums...and on bass....😢
I think it's Joe Zawinul.
Shout out to Clam on bass. Back where he belongs.
Just think about it, imagine, empathise - stuck in a never ending 2 bar solo....
"on the Drums Mr Nat Penrose",rest of the band what the ......!lol
...Uh.. I didn't catch the name of the drummer...uh....????
Herbie Jackson singing Corn Pop.
Jazz fans -- "What's keyboards legend Joe Zawinul doing on bass?"
God it was good.
Pause at 2:32. An ARSE production for BBC2.
That looks like Joe Zawinul on the bass!
Nice!
I always find this sketch uniquely funny. Maybe I shouldn't have drank from Herb's glass....
Nooooiiiiccceee
Nice.
Nice! Great!
Yeah, but who's the drummer??
Great!
Is that Bedders on bass, wearing a wig and false moustache?
The host, look at his hair !! 🤣
where can I get a copy of Herbie Jackson's latest album? Is it still 9.99 on the Shopping Channel?
In a turquoise mood....
Brilliant comedy
Suuuuuuperb
I think that drummer should be given more credit.
I went to a club called the Ceasefire Jazz club. What a load of rubbish that was! When I went in there bullets were flying all round the place! I just managed to get out of there in 1 piece!
In the 60s the cameraman would have panned to the bass player
I’m sure I recognise that geezer playing the drums, but for life of me I can’t remember his name.
RIP Jazz
Jazz .... If you play a bum note , play it again . ☺
Was Frog deliberate, or a slip by Thomson?
Fuckin hilarious this.
Thank goodness they got rid of the laugh track
Taking the piss out of dementia is something you either love or hate...........or think is kind of ok
Going Ga Ga in a nutshell. Love it.
The intro music sounds like Lee Morgan
Grrrreeat!
Who is he parodying?
Well not bad for a former President...
The Joe Biden of jazz... grrreat.
Let's Go Herbie Jackson !!!!
Braydon Harrington too or are you seriously that dense ? It's a stutter
Sniff sniff
😂🤣😂
Best comment😂
Nice
NICE
They edited the ' great Clam on bass'bit

Says a fucking nobody.
It looks like a Phil Collins gig.

Visionary, Joe Biden on vocals!
Comment of the year so far. Oh and EpStein lives in Israel now. Also Biden stole the election from President Trump.
@@airwolf5826 Sore loser alert.
Hahaha, all I could think of when I saw this was Biden 😆🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who??

Good to see the Joe Biden Quintet going strong into the 2020's.
If Joe Biden did Jazz crooning....
Accurate impression of Brandon 20 years earlier
Never meet your hero's.
It's Joe Biden
You know, Alzheimer's is no laughing....
...erm, what were we talking about?
hilarious. still
"The Velvet Frog"?!
This sketch is pretty dark it's all to real.
It’s Joe Biden.
This is too close too real life politics.
Well this sketch goes dark pretty quickly.
Back when we could laugh at life?
Wow, Paul Whitehouse doing an excellent Joe Biden impression!
The velvet frog😅😅😅😅
Lol!
joe bidens jazz pioneers
😂
The velvet frog
If Biden was a jazz singer.
Joe Biden, anyone?
An obvious dry quip at Alzheimers but very apt.
Lol...
Basically joe biden
You misspelled 'Trump'. Has he been dancing on the stage again for the better part of an hour?
Paul Whitehouse is like an early Joe Biden
Uncanny Joe Biden impression!
Unfunny arsehole.
Herbie Johnson has Alzheimers.
Very insightful ...
