Ernie The Fastest Milkman In The West - Benny Hill

[boredwithusernames]

Fantastic, true humour, this guy was a genius and we will all miss him. This bring back so many menories...

[spongebo13]

I blame PC on the damn liberals, they go hand in bloody hand

[digitalbroadcaster]

I knew him as Alfie when he was alive as he lived in Southampton (I looked after his alarm system at the time). He was kerrrrrazily funny even as Alfie too (he was only Benny, on stage). He'll always be remembered regardless of the stupidity of the PC hellish world we live in today. One day, it will be illegal to laugh or smile if these PC knobheads have their ways!

RIP Alf. True humour.

[soupdragonuk]

I agree, comedy has been strangled and buried in the last 20 or so years. Benny will live forever.

[SenhorBundy]

How is this so un-PC?

[bedfoxx1]

mad but brilliant

[ElyDeadpool2010]

you could hear the hoofbeats pound.

as they raced across the ground

and the clatter of the wheels

as they spun round and round....

classic.

my brother bought this 45 in pettycoat lane in 1971 along with Jeepster by T.Rex.

it was number 1 for about 6 months, i think

[HRHooChicken]

This is on David Camerons desert island disc, true dat.

[Adeybaby100]

And he didn't half kick his horse.......Classic.

[MsFanmail]

God bless benny hill he was a genius

[TheOnlyStell]

Whata song! I remember listening to this when i was younger :D

[NeilTheFerret1]

2 facts, Frazier beat Ali on the day I was born and this was number 1, I was born on a great day.

[TheEctomorph]

@NeilTheFerret1 Sir: I do not mean to be pedantic, but I think I am correct in saying that big Joe Frazier beat the great Muhammad Ali in March 1971. Benny Hill's comedy hit "Ernie (The Fastest Milkman In The West)" was at number 1 in the charts some nine months later - in December '71.

[93DOL]

RIP Benny Hill a true legend

[49marl]

Some people have no sense of humour Always one of my favorites

[LeeRoy5804]

@AssSprinkle

Ok Ass Sprinkle HAHAHAHA. No seriously cool name.

[TheForza1000]

32 people who need to realise that life is short, once the twentys are over 40 50 60 70 if your lucky will be here before you know it...lighten up.

[Angusismyhero]

When I was little I saw this on a Comic Relief TOTP2 special and it really disturbed me! I hated the ending ... and I heard it for the first time since then on Radio 2 the other morning. I don't know how I felt about it then! Blast from the past.

[Toran3D]

32 people were laughing so much that they hit the dislike button

[yorkie6687]

@Toran3D They are tossers mate, Benny was a comedic genious, end of!

[123456789333444]

nice one ernie pete uk

[wmh1968]

omg i have not heard this for over 15 years or longer and its still great

[dave21031963]

Didn't realise Ernie was a guitarist? " he rushed out in the street with a gold top in his hand"

[iloveniggers1000]

worst song ever

[Nemesis7293]

@iloveniggers1000 We all know that was the noise your mother made during your conception.

[TheBexi66]

dont this bring back memories i must of been about 6 wen i first herd this pure and utter classic

[shanaellis80]

Absolute classic!

[YaoiAddict127]

Made my dad's day today by playing this to him :) Reminded me of listening it when I was little.

[pharmcat]

I was 6 when this came out, and I loved it, used to sing along every time it was on the top 40

[TheDavidjoy]

Probably the funniest song ever. Benny was a great comic. The P.C brigade put paid to his T.V show. It was harmless fun and considering the filth that they show today, pathetic to stop it.

[myPodation]

brilliant...brilliant...was when I 1st heard it in God Knows When (i was 8) and still is ...

[webbj11]

How can any person dislike this, there are some strange people around that's the only reason i can find as without a doubt this is the best funny song EVER.

[krakenwave]

I got no time for Benny Hill's humour as per his endless-seeming Thames TV programmes.

But this is a great song - I remember when it came out, I was 6 yrs old and I loved it then, and I still do. Without going into a lot of music-theory bollocks, it is just about perfect .

[pch058]

Not long after this song came out, an "alternative lyric" version was spread by word of mouth..... and todays' numbnuts think Benny was "un-P.C". Ah well Benny had the last laugh, i mean here he is today ......ON YOUTUBE!!!

[SuperDvsmith]

31 PEOPEL DON'T KNOW GOOD COMEDY

[26highstreet]

Ernie i be happy if it comes up to me Chest:)

[MrJOACHIM1961]

Mr. Benny. You were and you still are, THE BEST.

[zub1964]

@fossil1753- Me,too ! But it can't possibly be that long ago that this song came out...Can it ??

[fossil1753]

Sad to say that I not only remembered all the words but also all the nuances! Still a great laugh.

[thelessum]

So unPC!! It should be-milkperson or milk distribution officer. Jamei Oliver, (another pom)in his latest booklet asked for; eggs-large,preferably higher welfare! Benny you got a lot to learn. DONT!!!!

[fcluddski]

Benny Hill, a true English legend!!

[BigKwell]

@fcluddski True, so true. So naughty... but so nice!

[chocky222]

..........ernie got 'is cocoa there three times every week

[Crissytina100]

TRIGGERRRR !!

[elmstone1]

All those uncivilised countries that have never had door step deliveries of milk will wonder what all this is about.

[caliburn50a]

National Anthem for all milkmen

[MrWeller92]

this reminds me of my old man. and we all miss ernie!! x

[lenamartyn53]

Benny Hill a true English genius, a legend, I agree with Sabatinitennis so called pc has killed this country this is true English humor at it's best. Benny will live forever in the hearts of all who knew his comedy. ENGLAND IS DEAD, LONG LIVE BENNY HILL.

[cosworth6nut]

@lenamartyn53 - completely agree. My Father used to look like to Benny Hill - had his same humour too.

[4thkyustu]

@lenamartyn53 well said..this reminds me of when i was a kid...happy days.. :)

[ChromaAurora]

Don't forget that milk is the fastest drink in the world, because it's pasteurised before you know it :P

[TheRealDNB]

fuckin JOKES

[xiGzRECON]

i knew all the words to this when i was like 8 :L

[glaswegian55]

bring back benny

[Sabatinitennis]

Sadly the PC brigade put paid to him - what a crap country I live in, as I can never find these folk who are allegedly offended .... do they really exist?

[hawickman]

@Sabatinitennis screw the PC brigade. There is still some of us who find Ernie fucking hilarious

[Yogamartial]

@hawickman Yeah bit of old classs cant beat it

[TheEctomorph]

@hawickman Indeed there are, sir. (I believe that the great Clint Eastwood - 'Dirty Harry' himself - is a fan of the late, great Benny Hill, btw.)

As for that all-encompassing and pervasive phenomenon known as 'Political Correctness', it was unheard of when Mr Hill was @ number 1 in the charts, exactly 40 years ago, with his amusing little ditty: "Ernie (The Fastest Milkman In The West"). There are many people of my generation - and older - who genuinely believe that 'PC' is

[TheEctomorph]

@hawickman [Continuing on from my previous 'post' about Mr Benny Hill].

a seriously over-rated virtue (if indeed it is a virtue at all).

[yottskry12]

@Sabatinitennis No, it's always these people who are offended on behalf of others. The sort of people who say things like "You can't say that - black people / women / Jews will find it offensive" yet the black people / women / Jews never complain!

[caliburn50a]

Respond to this video... Supposedly I'm in this easily offended category as I'm a disabled person. Well guess what Not only I'm NOT offended I loved watching Benny Hill I watched every series he had on all channels in the UK. This man was and still is a great comic genius unmatched by the present bunch of trolls we have today pretending to be comics

[speckyprick]

@yottskry12 EXACTLY, at some point in history it was decided that everyone is a bunch of pussys that the very mention of something they are/have and they get so offended it must be banned. True comedy comes from being able to laugh at yourself and others.

[yottskry12]

@speckyprick You mean like calling yourself Speckyprick, mate? :)

[speckyprick]

@yottskry12 Forgot I was a walking example! Exactly! Usernames that are self derogatory are plentiful when you first join YouTube and can't think of a unique name lol.

[TheEctomorph]

@yottskry12 I think that the people that you are referring to are, for the most part, PCZ's (Politically Correct Zealots).

[gandelf1967]

what can i say, the man was a genius. just listen to the lyrics.. a stale pork pie caught him in the eye and ernie bit the dust...

[chrisboi08]

Ernie lives on in the milky way!

[funkybandit]

legend

[0zzy257]

(sniff)

the greatest song

[butterworthpa]

A brilliant version. I'll bet we hear more about whoever made this!

[cardtrick1966]

@butterworthpa

I dont know how old you are but this song is 40 years old, so i doubt we will hear more as benny hill died in 1992

[TheBbabes]

Good old days, Sad song tho :( x

[mandy999100]

it is a sad song x

[kenny6387]

funny really. always worked for was bloody bakers. me chat up line years ago was I put buns in ovens. but thats what I did for a living lol

[crazyolba]

The song makes me think of 'On The Buses' for some reason? Like all the characters are taking part.

[grengale]

David Cameron's favourite song!??!!

[bananaship17]

Old comedy never gets old we can always remember the best comedy's back in the days now today comedy i cant even remember any of them what was funny

[Andreyka282]

Бенни Хилл навегда !

[colonelofcork]

I was a milkman in Camden and Islington for 8 years in the nineties. Best fooking job anyone could ever have.!!!!!!

[ivyidiot]

@colonelofcork did you see granvil?

[colonelofcork]

@ivyidiot Course I did. Everyday. and twice at weekends, ya daft boostard.

[MrCriticOfAll]

@colonelofcork My uncle Lou bought a milk run in Canberra during the 1980's and my sperm donating so called father drove it and yes his name is Ernie and so no doubt the combie got named Trigger.

[cocochanelleke]

@colonelofcork

Fooking?

I hope you, your customers and yours fared better than that ...

;)

Rumour has it that Benny Hill wrote this when he was 16...............

And another little known fact, he wrote his own part in The Italian Job.

Thanks for sharing and thanks to sessnazx for sending.

[Tryzon]

This reminded me of that Father Ted episode :D

[batesy1996]

this song is wonderful. i remember my father giving me a cd of this on, along with two little boys by rolf harris, they are two classics. both songs make me shed a tear or two in remembrance of how my dad was

[Wildstar40]

I miss Benny Hill and his great sence of humor. I remember seeing his skits ,poems and songs for the first time and most of the time I laughed until my stomach hurt and tears rolled down my cheeks.Rest in peace Benny,we love ya.

[cernuous]

I don't think you Brit's fully understand the real emotional connection we in the United States developed with Benny Hill and his outrageous brand of comedy. Benny had a wonderful sense of self deprecating humor which allowed him to connect with almost anyone.."been there done that". If anything I don't think Benny truly exploited his dollar Box Office impact and popularity here. It was so sad that this remarkably gifted man should decline so rapidly. Evidently Ben Elton was not solely to blame.

[sunshineuklondon1965]

@cernuous We Brits hold our comedians very highly and yes, while tastes changed in the 80s there WOULD be no Little Britain, The Young Ones, Black Adder or any other number of comedy classics if not for the foundation laid by the traditional slapstick simplicity of British Classics like Benny Hill ...

[cernuous]

@sunshineuklondon1965 , Benny was the perfect blend of slapstick, situational and stand-up comedy. One of his sketches was a Chinaman who bred cow's returning to the Isle of Wight from the "United States of a Miracle". Henry McGee and Bob Todd were the Custom Officials. Bob was the Indian at Immigration who announced to Benny " I'll be with you in a minute soon moment". He then asked "What do you do"?. Benny said "Bleeding Cow's". Bob answered "No, thats where", " I asked you what"?.....

[cernuous]

Although difficult to follow and understand because of the speed of the banter, this was farce at it's highest level and Bob Todd "fed" Benny Hill beautifully. The chemistry of the entire cast including little Jackie Wright seemed to work so well.

[cernuous]

Antenna TV features the Benny Hill Show here each Saturday night. He's on for three hours. I think the World misses the superb humor of Benny Hill; we need more like him.

[yorkie6687]
