What this sketch is about, what is the pertinent underlying comdeic value, philosophically or otherwise speaking, differs noticeably between the two main protaganists of this period piece of social commentary vis a vis: the making of the teleV.
The thing he underestimated was Rowan Atkinson, 1000 other people could have done this and it might not have worked. Rowan Atkinson can make me laugh with just the movement of a few facial muscles.
This makes me think of Rowan Atkinson's car accident (again a tree was the culprit!). Luckily, it was soft enough like this to prevent complete disaster. What amazingly versatile talent he has!
They really must release the complete Not the Nine O'Clock News series on DVD!
"Not The Nine O'Clock News" is widely considered to be a classic British sketch comedy series and rightly so....
With a talented quartet of four young unknown and up and coming comedic performers (Rowan Atkinson, Griff Rhys Jones, Mel Smith & Pamela Stephenson), the series was a smash hit with viewers and many of the jokes and skits still stand up and are damn funny 30 years later........
The setup with Rowan walking into a tree is so simple and so utterly hilarious!
Love the old dear in the right corner with such concern on her face... and then a smirk and a chuckle. Mr. Atkinson is so good at playing the "Dork on a Walk" routine!
on the point of it not being funny, it aint what u do its how u do it i could be fed through an earpiece jokes by jimmy carr while being on stage and i gaurantee id get no laughs why because "guy walks along cerb sees camera stares at it and walks into a tree" not that funny ill admit by just reading it but its funny when u seeit (jimmy carrs reaction to an audience member he doesnt say much but what he says is brilliant
Just watched the program on tv. There was a song in it which i like, but don't know the name to. It's one of those songs i've heard many times, has a woman going awoooo ooh! lol plz somone help.
To be honest, if I saw this on paper I'd think it stupid as well... leave it to Rowan Atkinson to make even the smallest thing funny!

What I love about this sketch is that the bump into the tree isn't a huge, comedy pratfall, it's very natural. Makes it ten times funnier!

I loved NTNON as a kid and it still stands up today. John Lloyd is one of the great unsung heroes of British comedy.

@Weeble68: Was it the one where Rowan, Griff and Mel dressed in leather and danced with backup dancers to the tune of Atomic by Blondie?
