i think the reason not many laughed when Paul said ''i remember you, you're the one with the short, fat, hairy legs'' to Eric was because they were a little embarassed for him as they thought he had made a mistake.
@MaskedMan66 It's common to get John and George's voices mixed up I think. I used to think it was George that sang Anna ( go with him ) but I found out it was John.
@MaskedMan66 Yeah, I don't make that mistake much anymore now that I've become a bigger Beatles fan than I used too. I just thought their voices sounded a lot alike during the early years not so much the later ones.
The greatest ever! And those four guys from Liverpool did OK as well. Morecambe & Wise were just a fabulous comedy team although credit must be given to their writers over the years who helped enhance their fabulous talents with some great sketches.
@333br ME TOO!!! I'm a 'Paul Girl' but John's look at 0:47......It just makes me melt (I'm just using the word melt, cause what that looks does to me.....let's just say some people wouldn't want to read that)
Only got a little dad have you? Priceless brilliant comback joke. Back in the day when we had Brilliant musicians and comedians. Those days are now gone :(
AWWWW i love how proper paul is. and at 0:29. haha. Paul is like "i remember you, your the one with the short, fat, hairy legs." ha. why didnt anyone laugh at pauls joke. i thought that was hilarious.
@beatlepaulandjenn79 Eric Morecombe ( the taller once with glasses) always accused Ernie Wise ( The sorter one) of having short fat hairy legs. It was a long running joke
i love how Paul tries to say something funny with the "short hairy legs" (God love him for trying and nothing against him) and everyones kinda like"oooooo kay...." the host tried to go along with it, but George manages to get the laughs. The quiet ones usually are funny ones :D
the ironic thing is that john lennons dad had a diseases that made him only 5'4'', so he does have a little dad, maybe thats why john found it so funny.
This is the first time I've actually seen this skit, after having heard it for many years. With the 'are the Beatles gone?' part, I assumed that he just had his wig over his eyes during that moment.
"well, you got a little dad, don't ya?" lol! i watched it 12 times and laughed every time! i showed it to my brother and he just smiled(?)guys... they just dont get them!
@cqsteve1 That's the beauty of Morcambe and Wise, every celebrity that went on didn't take themselves seriously because that's what Eric and Ernie did, they made people relax and just have a laugh, two set's of geninus' right there!
I reckon John's 'your day' line is the right one but he completely changes the delivery on the night for a laugh, then he completely messes up the 'dad' bit and Eric brilliantly saves him.
This. Is. Bloody. Awesome. It takes a lot to out shine John Lennon,. And Eric Morcambe does it for that one brief moment when he says, "Oh you have a little dad, do you?" It's wonderful stuff. Thanks so much for posting!
