Original Absolutely Fabulous Skit

[LoveUKtelly]

and THIS is where it all began, the best show EVER!!!

[Psikonort]

Excellent. very clever & hysterical Mother / Daughter role reversal scene.

[KidsWithGuns1992]

Though I love them as a duo, I must say that the other woman who plays Saffy suits the character better than Dawn French. Sort of doesn't make sense that they're the same age, but nonetheless it's still very amusing.

[TrouserOneHundred]

'Aber-bloody-deen! I don't know anybody in Aber-bloody-deen, darling!'

Too funny. I'm here

[musiclikemercy811]

'...they work like buggers and cost flap-all, i dunno.'

[santasxgirlfriend]

dahling, sweetie sweetie dahling - i love eds !

[amiblueful]

Jennifer had the Edina character down from the get-go!

[ThosWmDormanIIIesq]

suis desole, but this show just doesn't work the same in french.

[LoraaSmile]

EDDY MONSOON IS AMAZING(:

[feedback456]

[paintedbird]

This is interesting. Its funny what they changed and what they left when AB FAB became an actual series. Loved watching this!! Thanks for posting it.

[Bellocampo]

Love it! Love the history! Did you catch "Adriana" --- still a nod to Ade, that.

[Montreal86]

So this is the sketch. This is THE sketch from which one it all began... The AB FAB sketch...

Dadadaaaaaaaaaammmm.

[queenjess99]

[GREENHOUSES]

[MsDevilQueen]

The Sketch Is Funny and Then Ab Fab Was Hilarious !!

[zthechainz]

ab fab - greatest show ever

[celinejen]

I agree. I always found it funny that Saffy was more of the adult than Edina. They always seemed to switch roles.

[dasdas009]

Sweety Darling... Sweety :)

hehe!

I love Sweety lol!

ABFAB is the best show ever lmao!

[looker768]

is her mom pregnant?

[idiophreak]

Brilliant. It's funny how Edy started out posher.

[gameon72]

Watch mama dance RIDE ON TIME!! Klass!!

[birdyb24]

socialists can have staff. of course they can, do as I say, not as I do. this is great depiction of the adolescent "adults" of the 60s/70s generation.

[teknikad]

this skit has series potential written all over it! amazing.

[BelgianAtheist]

And that series was Absolutely Fabulous!

[Ocker3]

I'm lost in the layers of Meta

[memageno1]

adriana!!?...Edwina....what is so priceless about these rich, clueless women is they have NO idea how innocently funny they are!!! one of the BEST shows created!!!!

[jeffeastwood15]

What year is this?

[Charmredux]

This original AbFab sketch is amazing: French and Saunders are fantastic comedians. It's a shame no more new episodes of 'A Bucket O' French and Saunders' are shot now..

[fandsfan]

wow never seen this sketch be4 but i always wanted to its realy starnge watchin it with different names and actresses i hate to say this but i preferred the ab fab show not the sketch but i still luv french and saunders

[kunstinflammen]

Haha wow thanks for this, never seen this!

Always did wonder what the original was like

[ToolFan1990]

adriana?! it's so weird to hear edina's name be that! hahaha.

[kalindoscopy]

Adriana?????

[ABBAnirvanafan]

Wow, its amazing to see the sketch that started it all. I love them!

[bubblybolly]

fabulous

[AintNobodyRight]

Thank you! Completes my argument on another post that Dawn French never appeared on Ab Fab. Actually adds to it.

Loved it.

[Dagarvs]

Dawn French played Kathy in a tv bit on ab fab in 1992.

[oftaklost]

haha, it's so weird seeing dawn french as saffy. hilarious though.

[phunkmastergeneral]

Thank you so much for posting this!

[freeloaner85]

i think that you can tell that there is a lot more visible acting input in this skit compared to the other one which was more professionally acted out. However, I like this one too.

[geri74]

Thanks for posting this!

[iluvjennifersaunders]

shes just abosultley fabolous

[rolandreally]

Jen really created such a brilliant character, and the fanny pack just kills me! "It is possible to be a socialist and have staff you know, darling!" I love French and Saunders.

[SiLlyGoOse4321]

She really did. It was such a different kind of character that she created...and in every move she just created something absolutely fabulous. "sweetie, right on time, right on time"

[nightofyaoi]

thanks for posting it!
