  • "We'll never have a proper democracy here unless we shoot a few people...". Priceless!!!. The only problem with this clip, and I remember when the episode was aired, is that I know and also work with plenty of blokes that say all that Alf's spouting, on a daily basis!! Nothing changes, it all stays the same. Just read the various comments to videos on YT and you'll see. Still, Alf and the cast, through Johnnie Speight's scripts, were bloody brilliant.

  • Alf talks sense most of the time !

  • F.ck that commi political correctness, of this goverment and especially the last ! Long live Alf !!

  • Might be funny but it's so true Socialism/ Communism no difference and the Trade Unions to this day have ruined us with their "Moral Superiority" bollox! I have worked in a Prison HMP Mount in Bovindon It is a right cushy little cat C number! PS2's Xbox's £20 a week they are laughing thanks to Labour and Libral Morons!!!

  • Well I also blame the bloody BBC for encouraging the bloody ABC out here Alf ! Apart from that they can't get enough of The Guardian online !!!

  • Very funny

  • All true

  • UNISON! Listen to this,Jezza Clarkson was only repeating this BBC skit.........run to the cops

  • bring back alf garnett stuff the pc brigade !

  • 2:47...Hes Labour Party has gave it all away!..How Ironic that Tony Booth was to become Cherie Blairs Dad!....Most of Alfs mental rants back then are a facts nowadays...he was a visionary!

  • Looking at the current developments , Alf's right!

  • lol what year was this made?

  • WHY SHOULDN'T THEY GET BLOODY SLOPS! Prison is supposed to be a deterrent.

    I totally agree with that. And lol at what he said after that

    The next thing you know the be putting Billy Butlins in charge of the prisons.

    Again I agree, prisoners get too much luxury these days. How is it going to stop them from re-offending?

  • @Darkstar263 Eradicate poverty and you would need half the amount of prisons.

  • Alf Garnett! Such a shame that these programs aren't on TV anymore.

  • LET ME OFFEND ALL OF YOU,THEN,IF YOU DONT HAVE WHITE BLONDE HAIR AS DO ,I YOUR NOT 100% WHITE !!THAT HOW HITLER FELT!!! & HE WAS RIGHT!!!

  • @thorshammer1348 dont forget the blue eyes and being tall (6 foot 2) which i'm lucky enough to sport as the other 2, that was hitlers full list, white, blonde hair, blue eyes, and roughly 6 foot tall

  • Its like listening a bunch of ol hypocrits,no unions no decent pay for working class,(strike !) they shut downthe factory as a whole and out-source it off to india ,amyway,NO JOBS FOR ANYBODY ! UNIONS WERE FORMED BY WHITE WORKING CLASS,TO GIVE THE LITTLE GUY A DECENT WAGE,NOT BY COMMUNISTS!

  • I'm new to this.Would somebody please tell me what lol means.Bad enough when mixed in with other words but incomprehensible when just on its own.Thanks.

  • @1066atholl Laugh Out Loud

  • Rock and roll Vicar Sex Maniacs

  • if only we had just one politician with the balls to speak out as he did we might not be in the mess that we are in today.

  • @terryxxx1

    True. Most of them are afraid that they will sound racist if they do

  • Classic Brit comedy, shame the whole country's gone to the dogs now, a lot of what he says we ALL think but just to scared to say it,PC's gone mad...

  • IF ALF GARNETT IS JUST AN IDIOT, THEN...

     WHEN THE PEOPLE THAT THOUGHT ALF GARNETT WAS AN IDIOT

    THEY MADE THE U.K. AND THE U.S. AND EUROPE

    UNFUCKINGLIVEABLE?????

    WHO ARE THE IDIOTS?

    D

  • He really jewish Alf is a charactor

  • Comment removed

  • hes not a racist, hes a realist lol

  • Ditto ! Alf was certainly before is time just like Mr Enoch Powell ! I should know i live in Bostonia opps Boston Lincs ?? Yes ask Warren Mitchell if he wants to become Prime Minister ! and yes whos with him in this clip Cherrie Blairs old man , say no more !!

  • If only alf was our prime minister

  • Comment removed

  • this was back in the 70s when people could make racist jokes and people found them funny,not like nowadays when everyone is too scared to offend any one!! fuck em i say!!!

  • I am mixed race and I think exactly in the same way as Alf Garnet....bwahahaha

  • alf stewarts better

  • I don't believe this was on television..

  • Brilliant comedy aside, I think the point is that anyone who shares the same view as the character is as stupid as.

  • hes not racist

  • ITS NOT ENGLAND ANYMORE ITS ENGLANDSTAN 

  • haha this guys funny as

  • Communism and Marxism many elements in the E U and LiB LaB Con

  • Communism is basically coercion and slavery.

    Everything should be Voluntary!!!! The OPPOSITE of communism!!!!

  • they should of never of banned this from british television. i mean back then people were very recisit at the time with the country becoming more open to others. fair enough there is alot of racial use of words BUt it is history and all people whom are black will understand that it was at that time when alot of people in the uk were like alf. i dont see '' this is england'' ( movie ) being banned and lets face it, the use of words in taht is a lot worse than this.

  • To all those people who think Alf was right - do you really think that Chinese take -aways are hot beds of Fifth Column activity?. When this programme was first aired the opposition was from Mary Whitehouse and the Viewers Association supported by that bastion of the Conservative Party the Daily Mail

  • The script is so superbly judged and performed, but it could never happen now- although quasi-Alf Garnetts are still far more prevelant than modern society wouldlike to admit. The modern conservative party would distance itself from such hamfisted bogotry, but this is still what constitutes its base support.

  • Warren Mitchell was a marxist.

  • Todays bigots and ignorants are leftist extremists, how ironic is that. They let people have an opinion as long as it's the same as theirs.

  • @Jeet27 yep

  • I recently found out that the original Else in the pilot

    episode was Gretchen Franklin who went on to be

    Ethel Skinner in Eastenders.

  • I'm astounded that some people don't understand the satire, they think it's serious racism.

  • Bravo!

  • We should be able to all laugh at ourselves, that's why today all the real characters have gone & we are left with a nation gradually becoming sanitised clones. Warren Mitchell was in fact a left wing Jew. Forgotten the name of the blonde guy, but he was Cherie Blairs father

  • @ALBIONTYKE

    There's some truth to that, but this wasn't actually about 'laughing at ourselves'. It was more like setting up a strawman to mercilessly poke fun at.

    It was actually part of a process that goes back quite a long time, starting from being able to discuss race in a frank and open manner, to subtly suggesting that 'everyone is equal', to mocking anyone who held 'racist' views, and finally making 'racism' a criminal offence viz hate crimes.

  • @TomStraub You have a point there with the stawman & I agree to some extent, but to take the point further, I log into your channel & it tells me it is unavailable. Why would that be when you repaid only 43 mins ago?

  • @TomStraub Warren Mitchell was the strawman

  • Can't believe it was on the telly...Now it is all sanitized, namby-pamby PC...

  • Warren Mitchell is a BLOODY LEGEND!!

  • funiest thing is with all his slagging commies, coons and jews, he was one himself in real life

  • This programme was so phrophetic! lol.

  • @Unterscharfuhrer Too right - see the Lima agreement!

  • trade unions are very important.

  • @mistaben2k

    No, they're not. All they do is drive up the price of domestic production so foreign goods are cheaper. Who buys domestically produced goods any more? It all comes from China and India now because it's cheaper. The only jobs unions protect are foreign jobs.

  • I am Scottish and I live in Australia. I have on occasions been the butt of many a joke. Personally I hope it never stops. I work beside 2 Indian guys and they are both top young blokes and perfect gentlemen. They watch the Garnett clips with me and just about roll off their seats laughing.

    I guess Ill just always be politically incorrect! I still believe in God, good fun and common sense

  • I think Alf Garnett is hilarious. Its a shame it was stopped and banned from TV because of so called 'Political correctness'. Sometime we can be too precious for our own good. It's a sad world when we can no longer laugh at ourselves or each other without being accused of being up to something sinister. Alf Garnett exposed & made a mockery of people who really do think like his character. In the process he provided myself and many millions round the world with brilliant comedy and entertainment

  • The real irony is that old Alf wasn't all wrong.

  • fuckin sweet,piss off home paki's and coons lol

  • its a shame with now live in a gagged politically correct society, where free speech is carefully monitored in case we upset various groups of people and radicals. long life ALF GARNETT.

  • ".........................we will never have true democracy here unless we shoot a few people like the Russians". Alf you are a timeless idiot who makes us laugh so much. Shame some stupid people dont reliase that Warren Mitchell who plays Alf is ridiculing such stupid beliefs. Obviously some take him seriously

  • LMAO...."we'll never have a proper democracy here unless we shoot a few people like your Russians".....great comedy....surely everyone gets the send up and irony? Intelligent people really shouldn't get pissed by this!!

  • Warren Mitchell is taking the piss out of bigots.

  • english cunt....ENGLISH CUNT!??

    the man is a fucking ledgend.if u don't like it don't watch it.simple,like you eh.

  • System of a down

    lol

    Hot Topic crap

  • I agree with his views. We as the British are starting to get too soft. E.g. Giving people short sentences and whoever has long sentences such as life usually get released.

    LIFE SHOULD MEAN LIFE!

    And the prisoners these days are treated with so much luxury. It's supposed to be a fucking deterrent not a holiday.

    If it were up to me, I'd put all criminals in an room with just a bed, sink and toilet and maybe a barred window. They don't deserve to have things like tv etc.

  • Define racism, is not allowing your son/daughter to marry someone who is not from the same religous denomination racist. Because that is the biggest driver of division and racism in Britain today.

  • mugwumf666. Watched Peter Sellers in a movie. But still never took the hint... Go back to the Gangese........

  • Hi,

    I never got your reply because you didn't hit the "reply" button. Oh, wait, I get it, you didn't actually want me to see it, you just wanted everyone else to THINK that you had replied to my comment. Brilliant.

    Anyway, I didn't really get what you meant. Was it a verbose way of saying "Fuck off home, Paki"? Or "wog", lol?

    I am an American, I just watch a lot of Brit TV. Don't get the Sellers reference, do you mean "The Party"?

    Guess your bigotry is just too deep for me to get.

  • All this means! Is whatever your politics!!!

    Get involved! State your own concerns.

    Me? I love this guy. But most of all.. I love this planet. And Tony Blair!!!!

  • of course the actor warren mitchell was well spoken well educated and half indian !

  • He was of Jewish Russian descent, though he does look a bit like Gandhi here.

  • I understand that England is right flush with racists and anti-semites.

    If you watch the Indians-in-Britain show "My goodness gracious me", you will see that Britains of Indian decent do not feel welcome even today in Britain. One skit shows locals lighting a cross when they see Indians. I think that England is more racist than America, they just hide it well.

  • @mugwump666 learning nations through watching tv programs real smart

  • Thank you, what a thoughtful comment.

  • He really knew his lines didn't he! Wonder how long it took to learn it all?

  • I was raised on Alf Garnett, when I lived in England.(Liverpool) I came over to the U.S. in '77 and guess what? we had "All in the Family' (Archie Bunker) an idea from Johnny Speight's "til death us do part" Funny, funny stuff(both programs) Both the US and UK are going to hell in a handbasket with PC and Liberal rhetoric. Whatever happened to good old fashioned humor? Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, and the like, all still make fun of their own race. It's humor. Where would we be without it?

  • alf, true legend, thanks for uploading this.

    shame our proper traditional england has gone dwn the pan thnx to Labour.

  • lol absoltey harmless is right. COME ON the whole idea of alf was meant to bring the whole subject of the lazy obnoxious and biggoted attitude,that we were all brought up with and expected to carry on /.MY GOD IM SOUNDING LIKE ALF sorry . just laugh

  • Great!

  • It really is Great harmless comedy...as he talks a (load of bloody rubbish. mate!)lol I mean who Would take him seriously? Yet Political Correctness, Has removed "The Alf Garnett Saga" from sale (Racism) ? Have These people  nothing else better to Do?? 100 percent stupidity!

  • Comment removed

  • Alf is brilliant! Great british comedy classic!

  • This man sounds like a true American to me!!! I wonder why he has an accent?

  • He's got a typical "cockney" accent from London, he has nothing to do with America

  • The point is, although he is English, he has very American views. The truth is, although most Britons may be repulsed by the thought, most American culture is British in origin.

  • hmm, could that be because most of us have family trees that lead partly back to england? My daughter is daughter of the mayflower which is a club of descendents from england,,, but she is also daughter of the American Indian ...we ARE a melting pot ...more now then ever and PROUD of it!!!!!

  • That is because Archie Bunker is based on the character created by Johnny Speight from the UK. And you Americans got your character shaped by Archie Bunker.

  • this guy never stops for air! lol

  • omg alf garnett is my hero lol he is so funny and he actually speaks the truth :| lol

  • Uh oh, I am Alf.

  • "We'll never have a true democrarcy here until we shoot a few people - like the Russians!" -classis Alf ! :>

  • You cant be, I am

  • not racist but he his speakin da trust

  • i dont see the problem, alf is this countries treasure, he has the balls to speak his mind,

    i think he's the funniest man in britain, and we should take pride in knowing a man from this country has the courage to speak his mind for humour,

    all hail alf garnett

  • Comment removed

  • I'm black and I love Alf Garnett, he's my favourite comedy character. He's racist comments are just echoing the thoughts of alot of closet racists in this country.

  • @Mastertime00 good for you mate,i watched this as a kid and i didnt see any harm,im still watchin it,but as an adult i can see what is offensive,but surely we have grown bigger than this take care

  • @Mastertime00 my god at last someone that can see the whole point of it all

  • @Mastertime00 That is true, but the laughter at the 'jokes' make me feel so uneasy. Seem to be laughing with him rather than at.

  • @Mastertime00 im white,some times im ashamed to be white british,but good on you mate.it makes me laugh when they talked about being english and proud,lets send them home they crie. ok start with the royal family,or do germany and greece want them

  • @eatmypies Thanks for the compliment. Brilliant point you make about the royal family, their half-German from Queen Victoria's husband Prince Albert. You've gotta laugh really. We don't rule the 3/4 of world anymore. The USA and China are now the dominant forces. Alf Garnet is ignorant about many things racial, but politically and socially he's very intelligent.

  • @eatmypies u talk shit

  • I notice Alf is the only cunt going to work.

    What makes it funny is that niggling grain of truth

  • England is dead, this is only a liberal parody of the racist english. load of balls.

  • if England is dead then it should be buried in the backyard just to the west of Wales...FOOL!

  • anyone notice the gollywog on the jam jar

  • has these programs ever been put on dvd,?,i would love to own them, garnett 4 p.m,cannot stop laughin at these clips cheers

  • Yes mate. I saw one goin in Asda for £7 the other day. Cheers

  • cheers 4 that uk28skinhead m8,sat up with my 15 year old all night , he sat there in fits converted him in 1 night , he loved sir alf!!!!!!!!

  • ALF GARNETT FOR PM!

  • Prisons are to soft

  • Italk like this all the time. Bloody coons.

  • ALF GARNETT FOR PM!

  • I guess you're too thick for satire. The real joke: people like you who take this seriously.

  • It's no longer satirical. Look at Britain now.....full of wogs and niggers and an ever expanding criminal influence in society. And with Labor in charge over here, it will soon be the same in Australia.

  • Yeah those damn immigrants are almost a 30th of the population. Do grow up!

    This Labour government happens to be the first in British history to place 'economically-viable' rescrictions on immigrants.

    God, its one thing to be anti-immigration, its another to be pig-thick ignorant. Oddly thats the point of Alf Garnett, but you didn't get it apparently.

  • That is why Johnny Speight was disappointed with this comedy. Public sentiment was very positive towards Alf Garnett and what he said. It's a bloody funny comedy because of the character and he does what most of us don't have the guts to do. Freedom of speech is non-existent because of people like you Jape!

    The intention of this comedy backfired on all of you looney lefties!!!

  • Thanks to our "wonderful" Liberal views over the last 45 years have led to the following:

    When I grew up in the heart of South London it was 99% White/British.

    Now?? When I return I'm when of a minority of 15% in many,many areas in the WHOLE of Inner London.

    30% of all London Bithrs, 2009 are to Women born overseas and when you add all the 2nd/3rd/4th Generation Births of British Women then White/Brits births are around 15%..!!

    ALL IN 45 YEARS!

    Can you imagine the next 45 years!!

  • I think the series was made to show how smallminded your think is...

    not as a support

  • @soniccage of cours. They are missing the point

  • right so what you're saying is that the english wouldn't do criminal acts as much as the wogs & niggers would.....lol nice logic lad and you're not even english to make that comment. I wouldn't sincerely think australia will be the same since it is very multicultural.

  • It's funny because it's all true! Alf for PM!

  • tony killed england a fag is a faggot and will all ways be a fag i dont care what laws they have passed your still a fucking fag go back to ur fucking closets so i can lock u all up

  • A great comedy written at a time when the British people had a sense of humour and we could laugh at each other. Try laughing now !

  • here here rob.things have got to serious,what some people fail to see is that warren mitchel is jewish and he loved playing the biggoted,rascist alf.The joke was on the thick brits who couldnt see the joke and took it seriously.

  • Got to say some of the things Alf says is spot on!!

  • Alf for PM!

  • inbreed, retarded right winger

  • The simple fact is that now in the UK there are far too many people on a small piece of land!

  • "We'll never have a proper democracy unless we shoot a few people!" That sounds like something Frank Burns would say on "M*A*S*H".

  • The overiding impression I get from the comments contained herein. Is that, the people from the UK who have trouble following the dialogue are demonstrable to the fact that anyone born in the UK after 1960 has no concept of what it means to be British. The mores, idioms & customs, evolved by the people for the people have been eroded by the nouveau facist element that has insidously invaded UK society.

  • born 1978 and i am not british i am english england forever

  • lmfao!

  • "We'll never have a proper democracy unless we shoot a few people" LOL

  • Hi to all fan's of, In Sickness & in Health

    Just to let you all know that.

    In Sickness & in Health is on DVD

    The complete series 1

    The complete series 2 (released 22 sept 2008)

    The complete Christmas Specials (released 03rd Nov 2008)

  • I honestly couldn't understand a word in this video...

  • Well this is proper English.

  • Speaking with an accent doesn't make it proper english, half of what he says isn't in a dictionary.

  • the old geezer Alf Garnett is a Cockney (somebody born within the sound of Bow Bells, in the East end of London) they talk like that, not like Dick Van Dyke does in Mary Poppins, the one with blond hair is supposed to be a Scouser, someone from Liverpool (not a very good accent he's doing though) so there you go just two of the many accents that make up this green and pleasent land.

  • it's called cockney, not all of us speak the queens fucking english that u yanks presumably believe.

  • One word: majority

    Second, this is not a common dialect, which you already know.

  • Question: majority of what...u yanks or us english?

  • Which bits did you have trouble with?

    nick = prison

    slop = gruel

    anything else?

  • People like Alf put the GREAT in Britain.

  • You simple idiot; he's meant to be a satire of the bigots who actually believe this sort of bilge.

  • Funny, isn't it

    Do they generally miss (as in, it going over their 'eds) satire ?

  • people who come to our country should abide by OUR laws etc,if they dont like it they should LEAVE and stay away.not much to ask,they come here and then slag off everything about our values..but do they leave?do they fuck.simple fact being they couldnt live in any other country and bite the hand that feeds them without being punished one way or another.

  • well said mate.

  • My dad was an imigrant around the time of Alf Garnett. We were in absolute stitches when we used to watch this back in the day. God Bless Alf!

  • Brilliant :D xx x x

  • Walk into any Social Club and Working Mens Club and I can gaurantee you they'll be an Alf Garnett off on one and they'll all be sat around nodding in agreement. And do you know what I say.... Good! Alf Garnett may be a Mickey take about rascists, homophobes and bigots but I'm starting to agree with him! Good old Alf, bloody hilarious!

  • theres a lot of credability in alfs words...

    the best comedy always clashes with politics and race! theres really no better jokes then the british slaggin the british off...well this is the isles, and if you want to be british! take it on the chin as alf would say.......if you cant have a larf at yourself and the world in genral, whewre all doomed!

    good comments crooks' i so wish the workingmens clubs where still open

    reg ST
