French & Saunders - Fellini Creepy Dance

[creepingdeth141]

Dem French whores

[Aprilstrum05]

to me I thought Dawn was pretty hot in this haha

[shelly10538]

A Fellini reference is always a welcomed treat.

[LauraSK22]

God, the scene in which she kicks the sand - genius!

[maadox05]

hey guys i.m looking for the specific version of sarangina rumba....if anyone knows...

[tomipful]

lovelyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!



[mylesaway85]

really @crazy tree its Fellini...not rocket science

[willsand11]

LOL, That's a damn shame. As the world's biggest Fellini fan, I gotta say, this is a stone trip! But if you've never seen the film, does it work? Doesn't matter, love Saunders and French like I love Il Maestro. They can do no wrong in my book.

[skyerune]

@willsand11 It still works but on a WTF level. The only thing I know of Fellini is the reference in Under the Tuscan Sun. Shame on me.

[blugeagua]

Dawn is a MUCH sexier Saraguina then the one in 81/2.

[surrealismario]

hahahahaha French version of Sarghina?? jajaja

[chefmikehenry]

Dawn French is a perfect satirical Saraghina! Diva....DIVA!

[Caradog93]

I watched 8 1/2 last week, and automatically thought Seraghina looked like Dawn French! lol.

[MajesticAngelX]

So funny. F&S were amazing at parodies.

[kfalala]

This is what really happened to young Guido (via French & Saunders) on the beach the time he "danced" with Saraghina!

(a true great Fellini-esque parody!)

[PrettyTigerlilly]

OMG 81/2.. Brilliant!

[cofpaddy]

Parody of Fellini's 8½ Lol

[sylvie510]

2 funny i love it love fellini, now love this show this woman is awesome

[aveuch]

OMG this was Fergie's scene in Nine!?!

[YannikGraef]

when i saw this i thought, whey it reminds me totally of saraghina, just too discover later, thet it is a spoof of 8 1/2, which later became the musical nine. i was right, yay ^^

[guiguipokpok]

Wow -when I saw the original clip on here I thought it was Dawn French!!!

[Morphindel]

i think i would rather do Dawn than the original girl :p

[worldbeat99]

Reminds me of Bjork.

[pianolasociety]

this is so self-indulgently stillborn stale as a parody.

[Shiflis2]

La parodia es un género que la mayoría nde las veces resulta facilón y chavacano,la mayoría de las veces carece de auténtica creatividad, de hecho parte de una creación original. Este video es una parodia sobre una parodia; la que hace Fellini de sus propios recuerdos... me parece muy mala, tan mala que necesita de las risas sacadas de una biblioteca de sonidos... nts, nts, nts. ¡pésimo!

[shortyzan]

Does anyone know where this was filmed? it looks very much like Berrow sands near where I live...

[henrydarthenay]

J'en suis encore tout émoustillé!!!!!

[yerayo]

sometimes it looks like its reversed... is it?

[4barrj]

dawn is absolutly mad...which is why she's my favourite comedian

[kikiteka]

Ha! That's actually really close to the original scene!

[LoraaSmile]

Dawn has a thing about moving her eyes like that. :)

[AxelQC]

8 1/2

Mi piace!

[SerpentGoddess]

Granted, it is not the original Rumba...but it's close enough that the ref. is totally obvious lol. However, as with all F&S parodies, it was perfect lol I loved it

[keithrai]

I tell a lie, its "Fiesta" by Walter G Samuels & Leonard Whitcap. (The original that is.)

[crazytree]

I wonder if even 1% of the audience understood the reference.

[qadmos]

very good point...

[wiredtojupiter]

u shd never underestimate yer audience

[proGoalie88]

@crazytree the beauty of French Saunders is that you dont necessarily have to have any clue of what she's doing. Just enjoy her acting.

[ydubther]

@crazytree The movie 8 1/2?

[SissterOfSinisster]

@crazytree u mean 8½? it's pretty obvious, isn't it? Rumba! :D

[TheEmmaDarling]

@crazytree i did

[xoGorilla]

@crazytree Actually probably a lot more than 1% did. No need to be pretentious!

[luckyd0m]

@crazytree explain to me? :o

[turbo1964]

sooooo good!

[CynicalHippie]

I love this sketch! One of my favourites! The music is brilliant.

[keithrai]

Verrrry funny!!!!! Pity she didn't use the original tune from La Saraghina. Its Cuban aparently but sometimes attributed to Nino Rota. Does any film student out there know its true provenance?

[jackhackett80]

ah yea from 8 1/2...SARAGHINA! SARAGHINA!

[ssarryo]

Dawn is freaking awesome! Hehe!

[ssarryo]

She reminds me of my mom. LOL.

[lebasilah]

Dawn has the cutest nose!  <3

[L1ZZ1771]

I heart Dawn French :D

[Botero1982]

am i the only one that think dawn french looks quite good in this- certainly more alluring than saraghina

[miasma9]

no i think it's a good look for her as well, both French and Saunders look great in these sketches

[planenut321]

I love the eyes lol!

[luciandryan]

I love french and saunders, and i love this sketch, but what is fellini?

[AsaNisiMasa7]

You're not serious, are you? WHAT is Fellini? Why, it's a typical Italian dish, a main course from the North-West! How could you not know that, you philistine. Har har.

[gaivoron]

she is so hottttttttttttttttttt

[ssarryo]

This is so awesome. LOL.

[AsaNisiMasa7]

To the twit who posted this vid: there's nothing "creepy" about Saraghina's dance in 8 1/2. God, whoever wrote "creepy" is so populistic. Have you ever actually seen the movie and the scene in context? By the way, French & Saunders greatly admire Fellini - this is an affectionate poke at him, not a downright parody.

[cocochanelleke]

F&S should be sued for making people convulse with laughter, and not being able to repair there from.

:))))))))).....

[Sunkelk]

OMG i can watch this over n over!! i like they way she moves her eyes from one side to another.. crazyy!!! hehehehhee

[AsaNisiMasa7]

Rather than a parody of Fellini, I think this is a homage to his genius, though without taking things too seriously. Fellini would have loved this, I'm sure. In the same way, Woody Allen pays homage to Ingmar Bergman, whom he notoriously is much inspired by. Doesn't mean you can't poke fun at something or someone you admire. It's a way of showing appreciation for them as well!

[jenshine]

Hahah! I just watched the original and I love her even more!

[jenshine]

Dawn is GORGEOUS and has the cutest button nose! I love her!

[jcastelyn]

which felini film is this a parody of.... or just general felini? very very funny!

[financehipflask]

hi type in 8 1/2 fellini you will get it up although it is in the related videos section on this page entitled 'la saraghina dance from fellini's 8 1/2' hope this directs you there.

[financehipflask]

it is very strange after watching the original you may wish that only the french and saunders one ever existed, altho then it wouldnt be a parody.

[DrkOne633]

haha it's perfect. we just finished 8 1/2 in film class and this made me laugh side-splittingly.

[photorocco]

it is a parody of "Felinni 8 1/2"

[Sisoto]

I love it when she flails her arms in circles XD.

[Jeromeo1980]

Thanx, everyone, for the cute comments!

[skruttis07]

the film is really like this haha very funny!!!

[kalindoscopy]

this was great!!!!

[AxelQC]

This entire skit, a send up of Fellini, is hillarious.

I love the Saragina dance from 8 1/2. So bizarre!
