@watson800-i hope you are not talking to me, because I never said anything about gays. I love Laurel and Hardy, and I thought Brokeback mountain was a well made film, but if you combine the two, I'm sorry but that's just dumb. No gay bashing here, this skit is just a bad joke and I'm bashing that.
@Kingdragyn18 Sorry about that. No, I wasn't talking to you. I just got kind of pissed off by the whole Anglophobia and homophobia of the previous comments. But yeah, thinking back on it now, this sketch doesn't do Harry and Paul any justice. The Peter Serafinowicz version is way funnier. Feels like actually watching Laurel and Hardy strangely enough. But yeah, sorry about that.
I think this is actually more parody of the Brokeback Mountain than of Laurel & Hardy, they've just chosen to make it to look all more ridiculous having two guys getting it on and succeeding very well at that.
The funny thing about this sketch is the very fact that it makes Homosexuality look embarrassing and to be frank as a 28 year old where it has been since the 80's thanks to many musicians and evening tv stars on prime time television is now Fashionable to be gay! Yet as we know Homosexuality among men usually turns into Paedophillia which after nearly 40 years has been covered up! Laurel and hardy were of a generation when it was illegal and thus should have remained so!!!
As much as I like Paul whitehouse, He and Harry Enfield aren't fit to wipe the Boots of Laurel and Hardy. Will their Comedy last into the next century? I don't think so.
Saw this last night on dave when u switched the channel at the 'anal' part and actually thought to myself "can't remember this part in the box set lolz

i love when people say "we" kicked their arse when
a. was before "we" were born so theres no "we" nubnuts
b. they clearly couldnt kick the average british girls ass
c. the victor writes the history books, actually look up what Britain was dealing with at the time - uprisings in India and parts of africa and the very real threat from the French, and yet they still sent troops in to America, REALISTICALLY it was either take America or keep thier empire.
I'm a life long L & H fan, and this didnt bother me at all. You either find it funny or not. Whats all the pointless arguing? I wish YouTube removed the ability to comment.
not even really that funny, but as a big L&H fan... at least they are being introduced to a new audience... hope the youth gets it enough to check out the real comedy.
@jiledenie04 No, I don't think it's calling L and H homosexual at all. It's a spoof and showing what Brokeback Mountain would have been like if L and H had played the leads!
have to tell you... Stan and Ollie would not have thought this was funny... and actually... it wasn't... english comedy has come nowhere since python and the goon show.

ps You say that RETARD was used twice in one sentence. Don't you use punctuation marks as the end of sentences in the United Kingdom?... It is called English...lol.
but I like tony's explanation better RETARD RETARD!
@kingarthurup You would like Tony's explanation better as it obviously backs up your petty viewpoint. I can see you both now, holding hands and giggling at how clever you think you are with your little retard comments. Do you feel by typing it in capitals that it has more of a meaning.
Tony you didn't need to come back on and explain your retard twice comment.
Bit wrong but painfully funny! For those who think it's an insult to L & H then stop reading into things that much- it's a simple cross generational combination to knock out a quick laugh. Plus have you noticed all American humour these days is just shock value? At least in England we still know how to make trully funny comedy: Harry an Paul Rule!!
Love this sketch -- very funny in itself and it gives a proper taking down to a rather over-inflated movie. And it doesn't besmirch L&H in the slightest . . .
If I felt that I needed to write and perform a L&H parody that was both blatantly disrespectful and poorly executed, then I would at least go to the trouble of devising a half-way clever premise. This is a two-and-a-half minute gay joke that substitutes shock value for comedy, and apparently fools many people in doing so.
I still like Paul Whitehouse, but I have now lost a lot of respect for him.
I don't think it's the sheer juvenile stupidity of the concept -- surely one of the easiest and cheapest ideas they could have possibly done -- but rather the complete lack of understanding of how L&H's comedy actually worked that bothers me. The mannerisms and timing were off, the filming style was completely inaccurate, the one reference to an actual film of theirs is from something made several years after silents ceased to exist, and so on.
they're not getting at L & H being gay for real. its just funny trying to do a L&H adaptation of a film about gay cowboys. theres no more reading into it.. jesus christ people get a grip! enjoy it for what it is. or go find something else to do with ur time...

perhaps I should, but help me out here, what term did I use is exclusively British? I think 'Fags' refers to cigarettes in Brit lingo, trust me I wasnt talking about cigarettes, (which by the way are an American invention) I was referring to fudgey peckers, hikers on the Hershey Highway (ie: sodomites)
For the record by all accounts both Laurel and Hardy were exclusively hetero sexuals, Brits just cant imagine that I guess
And I agree with a poster who said the BBC will not show L&H because of "non-pc" scenes and themes. Their willingness to show this against them truly stinks, and reveals their hypocrisies. How non-pc and offensive can you get?
L & H were NEVER about homosexuality. Sharing a bed was about the poverty of their time. They were invariably in hotel rooms/digs or whatever they could afford in their situation. In the 70's, on bank courses in London, you were sometimes sharing the same double bed as someone else - because the bank were too tight to pay for separate ones. Times have changed, but sex has to enter into everything. I love the comedy of Harry Enfield, and the Fast Show, but this is no tribute to L & H.
Brilliant and well done! You have hit on the essence of Laurel and Hardy's humor. It was always homoerotic in that they were usually in some domestic situation, often in bed, albeit fully clothed. Hardy's "wife" was always complaining about the time he spent with Laurel. In those days, it was funny; nowadays, it's political.
That was Hilarious! Especially when Ollie got stuck inside Stan. That was so Very Very Wrong! Always love a good sick twisted Comedy. Perversions always make for Great Humor.
Brilliant! I love Paul Whitehouse, he´s the best actor in the world (greetings from Finland!).
And of course this is a tribute to Laurel&Hardy, don´t let the homofobics spoil it. Laurel&Hardy has always been a gay icon, you´d be a fool if you don´t realize what they´re representing. Nice catch Enfield&Whitehouse, combining a modern classic Brokeback Mountain with the old classic, Laurel&Hardy. And with a laugh. Thanks!
i'm all for pushing boundaries but this is so shit it defies belief. if you're going to send someone up, the idea is to be funnier than them, not less. a cheap shot.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The thing that pisses me off about this is not that its very offensive towards one of the worlds best every comedy team but that it sends out the wrong message to people that have never actually seen L & H before. Shame on Harry and Paul for sinking that low :( Im 14 btw:
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what a load of fucking shite,a disgrace to the funniest people in histroy.still laurel and hardy are ledgends and in 70 years no ones going to remember this piece of shit.
Lighten up fuckwad and get a sense of humour.This is without a doubt the funniest thing I have ever seen.The way they are stuck together like two dogs rooting then that "pop"as his dick comes out is priceless.
i covered up my face at most of it. those of you who said theyd prolly never watched ollie and stan are prolly wrong tho cos i seen they had added some of their mannerisms in.
also, when ollie dipped stan it kind of reminded me of when stan kissed ollie in march of the wooden soldiers.
of course im sure they never would have done anything like THIS.
This is far from being the best harry and paul sketch. However I don't think they made this sketch to humiliate laurel and hardy - they were just making parody of it, that's all. It is relatively funny compared to some of the stuff that you find on BBC three nowadays that's for sure.
its not a sideswipe at past comedy legends. Its not really funny but the concept is great. Not everything comedians do work but it'd be a sad day if they stopped trying anything a bit different, risky or potentially offensive
I'm making the point that Stan Laurel came from 'shitty little Britain' as you put it. It's humorous on various levels. Comparing the sanitised pap turned out by modern. Hollywood to the innocence of Laurel and Hardy. Poking fun at the fact that they used to share a bed and it's making some of you feel uncomfortable about homosexuality. I'm sure in the 1930's people objected to Stan Laurel dressing as a woman and his knickers falling down or the scene where they get the wife of the judge drunk.
thanks for the lecture but i was talking about little britain, the shitty sketch show, nothin to do with stan laurel being from uk. or anything else you mentioned in your essay.
Perhaps it would help if you used capital letters for the name of a TV programme? Or, failing that, make it clear you are referring to a TV show. I'm not a mind reader ;)
I can appreciate that some people find this disrespectful to two comedians whose work will live on long after Enfield has been forgotten. Indeed, I find it a bit unpleasant myself.
However, the main point here is this: that sketch simply isn't funny.
Harry Enfield used to be excellent. Now I think he's washed up and, in my opinion, this clip confirms that.
How is it disrespectful?? Its only a bit of fun, god i hate it when people take these things too seriously. Political Correctness gone wrong! Its funny, end of! Paul Whitehouse is histerical haha! Just his face makes me laugh :)
This is typical of the bbc, which is run by a bunch of left wing pathetic liberal wankers. To allow this so called humour to go on air, and yet they never ever show those classic shorts from the 1930's by the boys.
That is definatley one of the worst things I have seen in my life. I could only watch 2 mins of it. Why would they want to do that to Laurel and Hardy? Who ever told these men that they are funny are sorely mistaken. They need to get a job that they are fit for, shoveling horse manure.
whitehouse & enfield scraping the barrel! how can this shit get on tv nevermind youtube? there will be a time when they'll be forgotten but stan and ollie? NEVER!!
I pride myself on having a loopy sense of humour, but that is just NOT funny; if anything, it is an insult to two of the greatest comics we have ever seen. YouTube should ban this trash: Enfield and Whitehouse have plummeted to new depths in my estimation.
Utter shite,two has-beens(yeah i liked them twenty years ago)trying to shock to make up for the fact they cant write a decent comedy sketch.Just really,really poor!
I'm disappointed. I grew up watching Harry and Paul, and they did have their funny moments. But even when I was 14, I can safely say I would have deemed this crude, school-boy humour. The concept could have been potentially executed humourously with a little subtlety, but such is sadly absent here.
I just can't fathom how anybody with a sense of humour can find this funny. I admit that my opinion may be linked to my deep love for the work of the late Mr. Laurel and Mr. Hardy, but nonetheless the hat joke was the only thing that even bordered on slightly funny. I viewed past comments and almost spat at the computer screen whenever I saw a comment saying that this is hilarious. Laurel and Hardy were innocent geniuses; their memory should not be pissed on like this.
Its sad how far humor has gone...Keep it classy folks, like Laurel and Hardy. A simple Stan-like cry or Hardy's tie wiggle is hilarious enough whether its 1930 or 2007.
@watson800 hey, don't worry about it I wasn't mad, I was just like...okay? Haha no problems here! But thanks for replying your awesome.

Times have changed, but sex has to enter into everything. I love the comedy of Harry Enfield, and the Fast Show, but this is no tribute to L & H.

My only complaint is that Stan's hat is all wrong. Couldn't they find a genuine bowler is all of Britain?

Brilliant and well done! You have hit on the essence of Laurel and Hardy's humor. It was always homoerotic in that they were usually in some domestic situation, often in bed, albeit fully clothed. Hardy's "wife" was always complaining about the time he spent with Laurel. In those days, it was funny; nowadays, it's political.

That was Hilarious! Especially when Ollie got stuck inside Stan. That was so Very Very Wrong! Always love a good sick twisted Comedy. Perversions always make for Great Humor.

Brilliant! I love Paul Whitehouse, he´s the best actor in the world (greetings from Finland!).
And of course this is a tribute to Laurel&Hardy, don´t let the homofobics spoil it. Laurel&Hardy has always been a gay icon, you´d be a fool if you don´t realize what they´re representing. Nice catch Enfield&Whitehouse, combining a modern classic Brokeback Mountain with the old classic, Laurel&Hardy. And with a laugh. Thanks!

You kinda have a problem really if your going to try and take the piss out of the founders of comedy (in my opinion).

i too think it laurel and hardy could have seen this then they too would have laughed.
2 different types of comedy merged by 2 of the greatest double acts. :)

put it this way, would laurel and hardy have laughed at this is they could have seen it?
i think yes. and for that reason, its comedy. lighten up and laugh.

The thing that pisses me off about this is not that its very offensive towards one of the worlds best every comedy team but that it sends out the wrong message to people that have never actually seen L & H before. Shame on Harry and Paul for sinking that low :( Im 14 btw:

i covered up my face at most of it. those of you who said theyd prolly never watched ollie and stan are prolly wrong tho cos i seen they had added some of their mannerisms in.
also, when ollie dipped stan it kind of reminded me of when stan kissed ollie in march of the wooden soldiers.
of course im sure they never would have done anything like THIS.

Azthatlovestherock 3 years ago 5
This is far from being the best harry and paul sketch. However I don't think they made this sketch to humiliate laurel and hardy - they were just making parody of it, that's all. It is relatively funny compared to some of the stuff that you find on BBC three nowadays that's for sure.
winoguitaro 3 years ago
its not a sideswipe at past comedy legends. Its not really funny but the concept is great. Not everything comedians do work but it'd be a sad day if they stopped trying anything a bit different, risky or potentially offensive

how is that relevant?
nobrakesukspeedway 3 years ago
I'm making the point that Stan Laurel came from 'shitty little Britain' as you put it. It's humorous on various levels. Comparing the sanitised pap turned out by modern. Hollywood to the innocence of Laurel and Hardy. Poking fun at the fact that they used to share a bed and it's making some of you feel uncomfortable about homosexuality. I'm sure in the 1930's people objected to Stan Laurel dressing as a woman and his knickers falling down or the scene where they get the wife of the judge drunk.

thanks for the lecture but i was talking about little britain, the shitty sketch show, nothin to do with stan laurel being from uk. or anything else you mentioned in your essay.

Perhaps it would help if you used capital letters for the name of a TV programme? Or, failing that, make it clear you are referring to a TV show. I'm not a mind reader ;)

I can appreciate that some people find this disrespectful to two comedians whose work will live on long after Enfield has been forgotten. Indeed, I find it a bit unpleasant myself.
However, the main point here is this: that sketch simply isn't funny.
Harry Enfield used to be excellent. Now I think he's washed up and, in my opinion, this clip confirms that.

This is typical of the bbc, which is run by a bunch of left wing pathetic liberal wankers. To allow this so called humour to go on air, and yet they never ever show those classic shorts from the 1930's by the boys.

I'm disappointed. I grew up watching Harry and Paul, and they did have their funny moments. But even when I was 14, I can safely say I would have deemed this crude, school-boy humour. The concept could have been potentially executed humourously with a little subtlety, but such is sadly absent here.

intonostalgia 4 years ago 2
I just can't fathom how anybody with a sense of humour can find this funny. I admit that my opinion may be linked to my deep love for the work of the late Mr. Laurel and Mr. Hardy, but nonetheless the hat joke was the only thing that even bordered on slightly funny. I viewed past comments and almost spat at the computer screen whenever I saw a comment saying that this is hilarious. Laurel and Hardy were innocent geniuses; their memory should not be pissed on like this.
