Kenny Everett - Barbra Streisand... first time on YouTube!

[THESCHILLDOG]

I subscribed not for the Kenny Everett, or your other 118 videos... i subscribed because of your hilariously witty responses to the stupid people of you tube, keep up the good work

[shariotoflove]

LMAO Golders Green records!

[01mccarter]

i remember watching this as ten year old

its even better now GOLD

[DiscoVinyl]

Loved it!

[ourobourous2000]

0.57 - 0.59 is the funniest fucking thing I have ever seen

[ourobourous2000]

Classic sledgehammer humour from Kenny.

[moominpic]

Can you imagine the guy in the accounts office, "WTF? Who ordered a 20 foot nose...!"

[jrmetmoi]

so wrong xD

[IamTheDeviInDisguise]

Best Kenny character is the punk - Sid Snot (to the Peter Gunn theme)

[donster660]

A classic slapstick gag. The world is a sadder place without Kenny .

[JulesJJF]

omg... hahaaha

[stevebenbob]

I'am sure Kenny did a similar sketch concerning Barry Manilow.

[SoEightiesItHurts]

@stevebenbob I know, I wish someone would post it!

[IamTheDeviInDisguise]

@stevebenbob he did many characters including Elton John (the glasses got bigger and bigger as he lip-synched 'YOUR SONG' - before Elton was knighted)

[Jindypops]

Fuck, he was so funny

[ozzfan1979]

omg! I love the end when he's knocking everything down! What a legend!

[ozzfan1979]

This is hilarious!

[dubczech69]

This is SOOOOOO offensive to all people that need rhinoplasty!!!

Call 212 200 3000

Samuel Goldberg (Plastic surgeon)

[sparky71a]

I've nearly done myself an injury laughing at this, I never thought i'd see it again! Great memories and comedy still not really beaten. Vic n Bob our only modern day equivalent!

[CCF01]

I almost died laughing at this =D

[peskytresky]

lol!!! I wonder how heavy that last nose was??

[rapidgtp]

brilliant - I remember this (and so many others) very vividly from back in the early 80s

[jlmww]

Watching that nose grow somehow reminded me of some of the less sophisticated Dr Who special effects.

[rhythmicginger]

I have to say, for the folks who don't get it, this is absurdist slapstick of a kind Kenny excelled at. Yes, it's childish, but that's kinda the point.

[pjvenner]

i wonder if these "intelligent" people taking a shot at him realise that he is is making a statement along with the other sketches, he is saying 'once you see an imperfection in a person, every time you see it again , it seems so much larger!!!. really....... get a life and a sense of humour.

[FIVECATSable]

Kenny Everett - OMG you've got to see this.....

[EmperorGeorgeVII]

Just when you think it can't get any bigger. Hahaha

[battlestroke7]

Oh man that was funny ! The nose doesn't have enough hook though and its not big enough. GREAT !

[DistantCousin]

The Americans will NEVER get the humour of this, (as is evidenced by many of the OTT reactionary and po-faced comments here) - poor things!

[dobyblue]

Kenny, gone way to early. I was only 9 or so when this aired and I remember it vividly, always loved watching Kenny even if I didn't get all of it at that age.

Great comedian, so funny, thanks for posting this.

[feline1973]

lol

[ivyfield]

Oh Kenny - we lost him far too soon. I think this is HILARIOUS - and I love Babs too!

[Neptuneman07]

Quite a nose there!

[TheGodParticle]

Hahahaha!!! love it.

[jimmicreesti]

:) so Stupid :)

[bindlessMoredom]

Racist fucking crap.

[pinkhighway]

Stupid.

[lewisbreland]

:/ This is REALLY dumb.

[auspete]

@lewisbreland Don't fret about it, I'm sure your next comment will be much more intelligent.

[farmercarl100]

@lewisbreland

[loveuforeverapril20]

@lewisbreland Back then, it was probably funny. Comedy has changed quit a bit since then. and plus this is from England, diffrent places have diffrent sense of humors.

[FordPrefect23]

@loveuforeverapril20 Yeah, in England we have humour, in America they have "humor" which is neither spelt right nor funny :P

[whogoderetedigo52]

@FordPrefect23 I couldn't agree with you more. I lived in Hampshire for a bit and I have to say there's very little in our comedy to like. Never did, never will. And as for this being anti-Semitic, that's ignorant. Critics had a Field-day making fun of W.C. Field's nose. Did that make them anti-alcoholics? Of course not. No one is exempt from mockery, most of which is done with affection. Laugh at yourself before others do it to you.

[mikemeiners]

lord this is lame - tired joke, lusy delivery.

[MollyTurbin]

this is so fucking funny!

[KINGofWORLDmj]

@MollyTurbin YES IT IS.... LMAO!!!!!!

[Brennboy]

Lame

[pointreyes6]

i never laughed so muchm tears rolling down my face, so funny LOL

[pointreyes6]

i never laughed so muchm tears rolling down my face, so funny LOL

[TheHarecat]

jesus christ, what a funny geezer. A laugh at someones expense, rich and talanted.

[lustreboy]

wow!! does that set remind anyone of "the Smell of Reeves and Mortimer"?

i love the way he did his impression. with the beard and all!

ah christ! I laughed so hard at each new bit! that's pure gold!

[inconceivabledark]

pure bloody GENIUS!!!

[StoneyEnd444]

fuck you kenny. dont ever make fun of the godess.

[Howardsend88]

its only comedy

[chazza234]

Kenny was such a funny guy,his sketches will always be remembered as pure genius!! this is just one of the very very very funny ones,there are lots more!!

[rankine2000]

Sfdickens: You're the type that stirs up trouble in an empty room! Of course it's crap though very funny, as xoffender74 states.

[mikesterSTLMO]

Alrighty then; guess you had to be there. If you want to laugh your ass off, check out Halstead's many videos of Babs.

[samvid23]

classic - God bless you Kenny why can't people be funny like this anymore BTW Barbra Streisand can't sing for shit he done her a favor ...............

[sfdickens]

I reckon I've got a pretty good sense of humour, but this is just crap! .. and is it possibly a touch antisemitic too?

[xoffender74]

Of course it's crap.... it plain stupid.... I still think it is hilarious. As for it being anti-Semitic, I think you are possibly reading into something that isn't there.... Barbara does have a long pointy nose and it has nothing to do with being Jewish in my opinion and I do love Kenny being stupid for the sake of it.

[moominpic]

@xoffender74 I agree. If this is antisemitic, then what is the Rod Stewart big-bum sketch or the Mick Jagger lips sketch? Is there an ethnicity which that offends?

[geoffr25]

Unfortunate that you obviously never watched the late and lamented Kenny Everett. In context, and in the light of his humour, this is a cracker. Watch his Rod Stewart 'take-off' (literally) and you'll see what I mean.

[lustreboy]

yeah, that's an all time classic!

[whouster]

This sketch isn't anti semitic in the least. You can agree or disagree about whether this sketch is tasteful, but to say that making fun of the size of someone's nose is possibly anti semitic is ridiculous. Whether or not Barbra Streisand has a jewish heritage has nothing whatsoever to do with it. If you knew anything about Kenny Everett, you would realise you're making a ludicrous suggestion.

[xoffender74]

i think it is fucking hilarious.... he can milk it even more as far as i'm concerned

[secondaryactons]

lame

[saladdogger]

hes milkin this one to death

[greateststar15]

this is kinda lame. the only thing he had on her was that she has a big nose.

[heatflash888]

I wish somebody would upload the flying rabbi everett sketch.

[25curry]

The first time that I saw this on television I watched it with my children & we all cried laughing,. One of the things that amused me was the bra showing on the backless dress & now girls actually dress like that.

[switchest26]

PFFTFTFFTFF HAHAHAHHAHA!

[1234breakdancer]

ROFL THAT IS BRILLIANT

[BumbleBeeInABluebell]

You are missing the point; he was OTT and FUNNY; he didn't do satire, he didn't do cosy sitcoms, he didn't deal in dry wit. He just messed around and made people laugh. And he was wonderful at it. It's actually tragic, that there are people on here solemnly analysing this for Funny Points and giving marks out of 10.

[unspecifieds]

And now Goldersgreen Productions bring you! couldn't get away with that one today.

[TheDangerousdoug]

I believe he took it up the shitter you know !

[dirtyjew1974]

keep that broad away from my cocain!! lol

[blackpoolprince]

As a jew, and a friend of BS, I should find this offensive - But U just can't - it's Kenny

[BumbleBeeInABluebell]

Wasn't he husterical? How can anyone find this offensive if they've got a sense of humour? I'm crying with laughter!

[alfie4472]

You just don't look at it unless it is worth to look at it

[BumbleBeeInABluebell]

In your rather tedious, pedantic and humourless opinion, you mean?

[alfie4472]

Bumblebee...you really took this personally, didn't you...so you like the guy's work, cool...i think it sucks. You said it yourself before, You can't take this seriosuly, now move on.

[BumbleBeeInABluebell]

Then don't watch it, and don't comment, if all you can do is criticise. I'll move on when I'm ready, thanks; you can't actually order people's behaviour any more than you can analyse humour. And I've still got a couple more comments before I catch up with you.

[ScareMeSexy71]

The HUGE nose at the end is the sniff of Nightmares

[RabuHina]

LMAO!!! I love how the nose just gets bigger and bigger LMAO!!

[ahorwood]

Asinine, peurile, hysterical. You have to love him, even though he was sillier than anyone else over 12.

[Neonbloodinmyeye]

alfie4472 you have completely missed

the point!

[alfie4472]

pretty bad...:-) he doesn't even have the manerisms, ...deff not the way Babs dresses and what's with the gloves? she doesn't wear any eitehr...

[BroodingARTist]

its about the nose...not the gloves

[alfie4472]

I think it's a pretty bad impersonation...seen others doing way better

[deanyorks]

It's not supposed to "resemble" her. You claim to have "seen others doing way better". Who do you mean. Please name them? If they are on youtube, we can all watch!!

[alfie4472]

Correct, other impersonators doing a far better job as far as imitating the looks, accent, voice, gestures...

Halstead

Jim Bailey

Steven Bringberg

Alex Serpa

[scottreadsyou]

You piker.

He's not trying to give you a skilled impression or a deep/ironic/satirical deconstruction of the woman. He's just being daft with her nose. And yes it's funny.

What kind of person lists Barbara Streisand impersonators when they've got time? An utter dweeb.

[alfie4472]

I can see it's not a skilled impression or even dconstruction of the artist...I still think it's pretty poor and I am entitled to an oppinion...You think it's funny? enjoy it!

[BumbleBeeInABluebell]

How do you get through life when you can look at this and ponder it as a serious impersonation? God forbid you ever have to watch anything serious - you'll top yourself!

[LICKAMEBOTH]

I will never forget the first time I saw this. I laughed so fucken hard that I fell off the couch...!! Being a teenage boy at the time, there wasn't anything funnier than a stupid sight gag like this... We can be extremely thankful for this wonderful media, for bringing back such great memories..

[ellinoz]

Teenage girls too! I had exactly the same reaction and being a sight gag it has stayed with me forever! Yay for You Tube. :)

[bertielis]

When this first aired on TV i wet myself silly. How on earth did the young Kenny get away with it. Babs would be mightly upset if she saw this.A million thanks for posting this.

[StoneyEnd444]

this guys a bastard.

[tjscycle]

very funny

[Charger425]

0:58 is a scream! haha :D

Much missed. RIP Kenny.

[Jcow25898]

loeny? check me out!

stop fighting on youtube xD Ov

[Suggs74]

From what I recall it was disclosed that before this sketch was even filmed Kenny approached Bans with the idea and she actually approved it and recommended the song to use so all of you that are whining that it was an insult to her. GET THE FACTS BEFORE YOU MOAN !

[SockBoy65]

Thank you :) I do know that he got permission from Barbara Streisand. She was actually supposed to do what Elton John did at the end of his spoof and be there saying "dreadful" or something like that, but the filming schedule didn't permit, and she had to return to the USA. - Kenny Everett is missed. :)

[jimmyfourchannels]

Funny because it is about as subtle as Hiroshima. I do miss Cuddly Ken

[MisterDonnieDarko2]

Fail.

[sillyjenniepenny]

oh shut up man

he is takin the piss have some humour

ya borin bastard

[neil73]

At least he only did the same joke 3 times. Little Britain (thankfully over) did the same few jokes for 3 series.

[matlivo]

(yep. i appreciate little britain somewhat, but that statement is entirely true. i actually stopped watching.

computer says no.))

[evertchris]

Its more the extremes it is taken to than just picking on someones appearance, I think. I dont think that Barbra having a big nose is funny, but this sketch is funny because it is so ridiculous in itself

[officialphilbrooks]

you gotta remember this was back in the 80s thay really didnt do this much stuff back then

[secondaryactons]

how orignial. I wish this was funnier.

[auspete]

That's OK, we wish you had a sense of humour. I'm glad it's not funnier or I may have actually died laughing, instead of figuratively.

[BumbleBeeInABluebell]

This actually COULDN'T be any funnier; without going right off the scale!

[kenfig]

Kenny was unique wasnt he ? Such a shame he got sick & passed away ; we needed people like him & Peter Cook during misereable times like these !

[punisher21200]

You bastard!!! Barbra is an american icon!!

[burlearth]

so fucking what? so she's exempt from piss taking, Kenny was a genius.

[bardbulky15]

Its not about Babs:

the material is simply not funny , (not to mention clever or orignial). Like doing Elton John or Billy Joel losing their hair and getting fat.. Wheres the humor..?

Sorry....

[deanyorks]

Maybe the reason you can't laugh at it is because you are either American, Jewish, or perhaps both (not that there is anything wrong with being either of those).

One thing which makes me really proud to be British is that we can laugh at ourselves and not take everything to heart.

For goodness sake, try and lighten up!

[Gefilta]

Stop picking on it! If he did Michael Jackson it would be in reverse.

[juleeluvs]

me and my 14 year old son are crying with laughter here. Oh God, this is hilarious.

[robertoproz]

ew..it would be easy to pick that nose wouldnt it :P XD

rofl funny man XD random and wierd...but wierd in awonderful way :D

[evertchris]

I just noticed the beginning intro "Golders Green productions present..." a bit cheeky that..its an area of London that is known for being full of Jews!

[auspete]

AH! Very well observed. I've wondered what the significance of that was. Thanks for enlightening us!

[zzebowa]

@evertchris yeah, bang on

[evertchris]

I had to close the laptop midway through this I was laughing so hard. It is ridiculous, childish....but taken to this extreme is just hilarious

[blushersthegreat]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I fell off my chair - I love how he just gets more and more ridiculous

[jeffbazell]

The nose joke is no longer funny, not since 1963.

[auspete]

In the hands of Everett, anything is funny.

[deanyorks]

Don't be such a sissy. You're either jewish or need a sense-of-humour transplant if u cant find this funny LOL

[jeffbazell]

"You're either Jewish" comment just shows your ignorance, not sense of humor.

[deanyorks]

Believe me, I have many wonderful jewish and muslim friends - all of whom have a sense of humour. Anyway, we'll have to agree to differ ;)

[firestarter72]

It just doesn't get any funnier than Kenny Everett. Absolutley wonderful to see this again after so many years. Thanks auspete.

[terrijane61]

ROFLMBO!!!!! XDDDD

[Ridenaude]

I remember Kenny was the biggest thing on U.K tv back then.I recall the Streisand sketch & noted that the Camera crew were always heard laughing!.The Thames shows were the best & deserve a Dvd release.
