The ladies own this sketch. The little 1.5 second bit at the end when the blond is more or less pushed out... She does the best little move of total confusion. Perfect.
i like the way she turns back for a moment
“Ok, I am going to ring your hozbent and he is RRRRRRAVAGING his secretary!” ... always cracks me up.
Tbh, he probably does.
Never thought I’d see big suze, april and james may all in the same room
I had 18 months working in construction on Brompton Rd, Knightsbridge in the 1980`s .This was even on point back then !!!!!!!
I've been living in Paris for a year and the assistant is an absolutely spot on summary of my experiences as a consumer here! You are an inconvenience to them and they are doing you a big favour in accepting your money for their product/service of which you are barely worthy. It's hilarious!
Move to literally anywhere else in France and people are lovely.
@@DrWhom Shop assistants in Bordeaux are lovely, in my experience.
That's just absolute bullshit made to fuel dumb stereotypes about French people.
@@Toghebon I will say that in my experience, it has to do with whether you at least try valiantly to speak French, if you're an English speaker, and if you're French, with what accent. A Quebecois friend who speaks a French I can't tell from metropolitan French and who tells me that she does speak good French, not just Quebecois, says that her accent is frowned on. I always found that even in Paris, my attempts at French, limited as they were, were accepted with courtesy, while people who think that the French speak English if it is loud enough are dismissed - which is as it should be.
@@puffin51 Although I agree on everything you say, my point is that person probably never lived in Paris at all. You might have unpleasant "experiences as a consumer here", just as well as any big city in the world where people are busy and stressed all the time. And that is it. In Paris, just like in any city big or small, people who chose to work as sellers are generally speaking welcoming, even though they might fake it in order to sell stuff. Just like anywhere else.
But more importantly, no well-traveled person ever would only have a negative, stereotypical, blunt, unnuanced statement regarding their "experiences as a consumer" in a foreign city to share. Well-travelled people are positive, they don't fall for stereotypes. They're not bothered by a few poor experiences. And they're way too open-minded to take that litterally a simple humoristic tv sketch.
The best thing of all is that this character is named Listeria.
I am married to a Giselle 20 years. He has the French down to a fine art. They don’t mean to be rude, they just are. I find it quite charming. She really saw me coming.
Yes, justifiable rudeness.
good for you 😆
That's absolute bullshit again.
that's probably the parisians.
On her face?
Amazing how they capture so exactly the French people from the point of view of the English.
Parisians.
I love how he just chucks the customer out, as soon as she's paid for the chair lol. He can't stand her presence for a second longer than he has to lol
Many stores are exactly the same....Got your money/signature now sod off.... Nothing new there, eh?
@@patagualianmostly7437 Yeah true, especially nowadays.
oh that is SO TRUE! Thats exactly what those posh home/organic/designer/bespoke retail market is like. thats the tone they take! nailed it.
Catherine Shepherd is so brilliant ... and plain lovely.
I agree!! its all to easy to see Sophie as the focus of the sketch but it would be nothing without Catherine's timidness....which is done so well in her voice.
What a fine, fine actress. I got carried away and involved and wanted to step in for her.
Which is it? Plain or lovely?
@Miscellaneous Viewing
I know. I'm such a tease! 🥴
@rphrph167
Do you mean Lady Freddie Mountbatten Windsor ?
love the way he shoves her out the door. so funny
I love the names he gives to the women; Listeria, Bonjela etc 😂
Fellatia is another one, and Semolina. They sound like totally believable names said in the right accent. 😂😂😂
Tarantula
Nutella
Jennatellia.
And of course, Thicko. They all met up at R&R (Roedean and rehab).
Peter Serafinowicz found some absolute stars when he had them on his sketch show
This is exactly why I had spiritual enlightenment whilst living in London. Now it no longer matters anymore.
Most polite French person
Reminds me of Reggie Perrin, And his Grot shop. David Hobbs was the writer I believe. The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin. Brilliant show.
David Nobbs.
I didn't get where I am today by not knowing who wrote the series I'm in Reggie!
C.J would be proud
@@timthwaites9478if that chair had farted, they could've got vingt mille balles for it!
This pulled at my heart strings too much!
A mixture of french and German accents. But isn't she gorgeous!
0:25 I love how she responds to "are you stupid?" 😂
Love that Sophie Winkleman!! Beauty and talent is her name...
So true .... fabulous actress.
God she's beautiful.
Rossco77 I like her more.
@@fanatamon no you don't! I love her times a zillion, so naa, naa, naa, naa, naa! 😜
Which one is which?
I must get a french wife exactly like her, wonderful ❤️😊👍
You'll never have burglars....that's for sure.
Mee too!!
Listeria went over to Giselle's place later
Not seen this show before, but it definitely reminds me of Black Books.
Ah, yes - London, such a lovely place to live.
You get the feeling that the actresses who play these parts really enjoy them.
Listeria! 😆
The deadpan voice is not the actress's own voice, she is accurately mimicking that kind of of West London woman.
True. She's even mastered the not-quite-posh, modified vowel sounds ("quuckly", "hulp", "ameezing", etc.) that these women affect (vaguely guilty about their privileged backgrounds, but too timid to embrace even Mockney by way of attempted compensation). These are some of the best-observed of the Harry & Paul sketches, although only somebody who ventures into present-day Notting Hill from time to time can fully appreciate just how accurate a parody of the relevant types is achieved here.
Khayyam1048 You are veryobservant - I hadn't noticed those inflections like 'quuckly' but I think you're right, it's a sort of sub-mockney for the very timid...
Londonfogey Well I don't know, everyone in London now tries to talk like black kids with soft r's (bwuv) and RANDOMLY stressed words accompanied by emphatic hand gestures etc I think mockney is dead.
Nick Harman I think the upper middle class demographic still uses the mockney accent and its sub-variants, to try to appear less posh than they really are. 'Jafaican' is more of a lower middle/working class white accent isn't it? I don't live in London anymore so I find it hard to keep up...
Thanks ever so for pointing that out.
"Oh hi Listeria."
the names of the people that come in to the shop are funny because these people do really have names like that.
Yep, This sums up much of French middle class and some of English as well. Did I tell you about the time I went to France and attempted to order in French!
and can never watch this sketch enough!!!.......the french lass is priceless but wonderfully set against the insecure buyer!!!...great work!!
The French assistant is spookily similar to a guy I met in Grenson shoes in Soho a year or two ago. There seemed to be nobody there at all when I walked in, until I put my head through the staff door at the back and found him browsing the internet on his macbook. He refused to get up, and when I asked whether a specific pair of £450 shoes (which I fully intended to buy right there and then) was in stock he just huffed, shrugged and told me to go to another branch. I went to a rival instead and walked out with a fantastic pair of equally expensive brogues.
ppfff., im too busy to even read this post
That assistant probably has a surname that people who work in the industry recognize. 450 pounds isn't a bad price for comfortable, stylish shoes that can be worn every other day for 30-40 years. I play basketball and I regularly spend over 100 euros on shoes that I know will break after I've worn them for 200-400 times. (Basketball shoes have cushioning that prevents knee injuries but breaks easily.)
He just there to collect his wages , obviously not the owner of that shop ,who would not be happy about it !
William Mayer
Most shops dont need to sell goods...
They launder money by printing false receipts..
Most pribably the rival shop was owned by the same person...
Best way to launder drug money is to set up a series of high street shops...
Who otherwise would start a high street shop..with a huge upfront cost and rental cost ...take on the risk of rivaling with drug money launderers fako shops..when u can sell stuff on ebay...
..could u not have bought those same shoes from the internet..?
William Mayer lol good job you didn’t buy Grenson shoes for 450. I’ve been in that store and found that the service was fine.
great acting
@Dungarth Right on bro. She's a stunner
Something tells me that Harry isn't happy about his wife's spending habits.
Listeria 😂😂😂
Harry enfolds best series ever! Funnier than
Enfield.
Bless her.😥
I found this incredibly sad. ☹️😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭
It’s still funny now, clever👍
Sometimes laughable things may gradually surface into reality..! Godspeed..
Thanks
Listeria ! 😂😂 its all shabby chic shops now ...bits of Tat with peeling chalk paint !!
There are stores in Austin, Texas with this exact approach to customer service.
Upmarket car salesman are similar.
Its a comic study in the way that the upper-middle classes get ripped off by rude tat shop owners...This is one of a series and takes it to an extreme where the nice but dim rich lady get ripped off and abused by a member of her own sex who is herself a parody of a rude upper-middle class Parisian.I love it.....
Listeria 😂😂😂😂😂
Magnificent!!!!....
Big Suz’s love her !
Money doesn't talk, it swears.
John Holt & The Paragons - I've Got To Get Away
Man Next Door by Dennis Brown, originally a cover of I've got to get away by John Holt, also covered Horace Andy as 'Quiet Place'
The Paragons?
I watch these for the excellent class reggae track at the beginning
Plenty of shops like that not just in London but in and around the countryside ..
Especially Chipping Norton ..
Well, Jeremy and his girlfriend need to shop somewhere.
@Rudadiz ....but the attitude was spot on
Is that shop still open😅
I want one.
A Giselle, not the ugly chair ;)
Think Samantha Cameron.
+Neil Kerr Nearly typed that! 1st thought!
Brilliant
Poor lady; I feel so sorry for her and what's her husband going to say when he finds she's paid £10,000 on a chair? Life is so unfair. 😂
Listeria, great name. I also like Glaucoma.
"Sorry!..." 😢
customer service pre covid love it lol
Catherine Shepherd ....wow
Is that the blonde?
Oh yes ...
@@MrDallman wow
@Redtaghauer So you never saw the previous "I saw you coming" sketches? Yeah, I thought you probably didn't. ;)
Don't you just absolutely hate it when someone disturb your reading.
Cause, aye aye XD
So true
Listeria!!
I like how English people pronounce 'perhaps' as 'paps'
I hold the opposing view.
We dont.
The shops that are in frome Somerset aren’t far off this 😂
That's the girl who did the voice of the vending machine Lister hit on in Red Dwarf X
That's me at Kempton market.....i sold a cabinet there to paloma faith....basically the same deal....
@merton8181
When the point i m making is about the actress's unconvincing accent for the character she is portraying, this is the point.
Catherine Shepherd
😍😍😍
@@jasoncha1973facup You need more emojis!
What is that song that plays at the beginning of all of these
"Man Next Door" by John Holt/ The Paragons (1968.)
..."she's even more rude than I am"...LOL
Hi Listeria LMAO
so brutal lol
Listeria LOL
What's the intro music lol
Paragons, Man next door.
Don't suppose anybody knows what the song at the start is?x
@Rudadiz i thought it was supposed to be polish
Who's the actress playing the sales assistant?
Fulham?! Do you think Harry lived in Fulham at one point?!
What’s that reggae song at the beginning
Hi Listeria. Giselle..even ruder than me
I get treated like this
Was anybody else thinking about Drew Pritchard ?
James May?
Hi listeria
She's a real see you next tuesday isn't she?
She's a real see you every bloody day of the week 🤣
Who is the girl who plays the blonde listeria in this?
Little do they know she's buying the chair so she can switch it for a replica she can return for a refund.
@Rudadiz Must everyone agree with your opinion?
beautiful client
Big Suz is simply gorgeous, with those big brown eyes I'll watch her in anything, especially when she's being posh.!
priceless
Listeria, you can come with me anytime
High. Larry. Ooze.
