Harry Enfield - Christmas Tidings

[CoolDudeClem]

Now defective goods have the words "Made in China" on them, whitch is pretty much everything.

[shinminsong]

haha i knew that was gonna happen at the end! or BOOM OR KABLOOWEY! XP

[roystonsaxon]

R33racer: that's the whole point. It suggests how arrogant the upper-middle/upper classes of Britain were just before the decline of The British Empire, which fell into terminal decline after WWII. The British aristocracy/ruling class believed themselves superior to every other nation, hence the disproportionately large British Isles set against other 'lesser' countries of the world.

[munter100]

...with this handy whiskey pick me up...

Class.

[R33Racer]

Has anyone else noticed how out of scale the UK is on that globe?

[wheelman2kill]

Simon Shoots The Smiling Sambos lol

Hahahahahahaha

[nejipwns28]

@wheelman2kill what is a smiling sambo

[ColonelAllan]

"slaughtering them and stealing their valuables - glass house old Boy! Mass murder and wholesale thievery."

Oh dear me. What have you been reading old chap? What valuables? Elephant's tusks? I'd wager there were few examples of craftsmanship there worth merchandising. Certainly the diamond mines weren't seeing much work. We instilled much needed work ethic in the barbarians in exchange for any knowledge they may have gained from our our superior insight old boy.

[Woolfcom]

@ColonelAllan Oil; iron ore; diamonds, copper,uranium and so on ad infinitum - still ignorance is bliss dear boy - memory getting a bit foggy - nice to know that not working diamond mines means that on can simply help one self old boy! We gunned them down - enslaved them and then without a hint of irony called THEM "barbarians" - eh. I say all that advanced technology and we used it to find more elaborate methods to murder them - one's chest is swelling with superior PRIDE -

[ColonelAllan]

@Woolfcom Well, we actually put all those commodities to good valuable use for the benefit of all mankind. What what what. With the locals failing to actually see any value, much prefering elephants tusks and beads and things. One can hardly state that utility of these commodities is "stealing their valuables" when, had they been left to their raw state of nature, they would probably not even understand their importance today.

[Woolfcom]

@ColonelAllan Oh quite right that excuses us thieving them and then calling ourselves civilised! I agree old boy, - our violent thuggery was aided tremendously on the back of our superb use of commodities to produce guns, bombs & WMD. Yes - I have my eye on my neighbours land - the soil is rich and he doesn't use it - so I will steal it - I'm making "civilised" decisions you see and its legal for me to take it if he isnt using even though he owns it - ahh I'll tell him its civilisation - Hussah

[Woolfcom]

@ColonelAllan True True Dear Boy Land grabbing [or Thievery as it's otherwise known] is bit like elephants tusks and land is not especially valuable in all honesty! One can recommend an excellent Janet & John Do Colonialism tome which talks extensively about valuing Elephant tusks and juxtaposes that against Elephant tusk valuations! It sounds like you've already read though - and let's face it simply working land is 9 tenths of ownership - Splendid Whato!

[JamesDBlanc]

that petrol&matches game looks like fun

[theinfidelz]

Wish I'd found this in time for Christmas.

[briefboyz]

In this time of financial hardship should it not be incumbent on the BBC to show this film to help all the poor people out there?

[ColonelAllan]

@briefboyz My dad read them and has told me about them you see. They're like rockinghorse shit these days....

[DMBKristen41]

Does anyone know if "Simon shoots the sambas" is available for my NOOK?

[Kahuna3886]

Comedy gold it is.

[djfryer2002]

this is comedy gold.

[tomboz777]

"but don't let dad get hold of it" pmpl!

[tropdars]

Petrol and matches was my favorite game growing up!

[DMBKristen41]

That dashboard attachment sure looks like fun LOL

[lunchisreadyfool]

CANNOT BELIEVE IVE FOUND THIS. Im the baby just after 1 minute, man i was an ugly babby

[JSJ07]

@lunchisreadyfool really? wow

[Conway79]

I want to play a petrol and matches game! :-D

[Laqez]

@Conway79 I would to but unfortunately a court order says I mustn't.

[bob555555]

they said "merry Christmas"! someone call the PC police! It's "Happy Holidays"

[paulliddle100]

@bob555555 no.happy holidays was ten years ago.now its "happy winter festival" cos not everybody can or wants to take a holiday

[fearofclowns1989]

@bob555555 Go fuck yourself.

[mwojm]

If the picture wireless hadn't been invented yet, who are they talking to?

[grange6818]

The day I killed one-thousand fuzzy-wuzzy's, a heartwarming account of one mans spiritual journey though Africa--- Brilliant :D

[Rachiejane1]

HILARIOUS! This never dates - British comedy at its best. Love Harry Enfield

[jezadude]

Well Funny!

[seangrie8]

A word of caution..

[BeNjI6576]

"At this time of year one should remember the poor."

"Yes, they might try and break into your house while you're out at church."

LOL!

[Superpeer]

Always picking on Belgium. :P

[Kimpermaans]

maar toch nog grappig :p

[Angelicusdiodorix]

@Superpeer

long live the governmentfree country of Belgium!

[BumbleBeeInABluebell]

Are you INSANE???

[ThylacineAli]

I want a lion cub! :D

[APriceProduction]

My mum bought me a lion cub in 2007, by Christmas 2008, my mum became the lions christmas dinner!

[ThylacineAli]

Aw how cute! :3

[kakifry]

WARNER IS CORRUPT!

[fordlandau]

I find I will prefer the British wireless with pictures..wonderful British technology..certainly not Made in Belgium

[lukeycc67]

practical gifts for the whole Fami LEE made me pissmeself with laughter. enfield is a fookin genius.

[Bluesteel750]

The worst part is I find Mrs Grayson surprisingly attractive.

[gspete1340]

....er, me too Bluesteel750!! D'you think it's the glasses?

[ColonelAllan]

Anyone know the auther of "The Day I Killed A Thousand Fuzzy Wuzzies" ? The staff at my local library have never even heard of it.

[jim8202]

I think you will find this fine book was the work of the Reverend Aubrey Bagshot.

[zeldalicious]

The author of 'The Day I KIlled a Thousand Fuzzy Wuzzies' was the Reverend Aubrey Bagshott.

Good luck finding it Sir! A very Merry Christmas to you.

[AngryOfMayfair]

Hard to find those classic children's books nowadays, thanks in no small part to the loony lefty PC brigade that run our local library, but you can still find "Simon Shoots The Smiling Sambos" on Amazon.

[briefboyz]

@ColonelAllan - If you're looking for Fuzzy Wuzzies try Amazon

[ColonelAllan]

@briefboyz There's a few I'm after. Washing of the spears is supposed to be an excellent book on the zulu wars, they've heard of it but haven't seen it for years...apparently. And any Mike Hoare stuff. Very rare. He was a mercenary in the congo. UnPC but still...I'm sure he wasn't lying. There was a mentally disturbed chimpanzee the people of the congo used to throw prisoners to. It was kept in like an arena with a chain around it's neck. It's initial tactic was to tear the genitals off anyone.

[Woolfcom]

@ColonelAllan Well Dear Boy one doesn't mention that sort of thing nau! We repeat ad nausea about hau we're all terribly "Tolerant" and "multi-cultural" and have thet sense of "British Fair Play" nau and skip over that frightful beastliness in the hope that no one remembers. And in any case our rather splendid chums rule the auld country again and since those dashed libraries fill the working classes with far too many ideas - so we're closing the socialist buggers. FABULOUS. ToodlePIP!

[ColonelAllan]

@Woolfcom Well we're all going to be really tolerant in the near future. No one's going to remember if no one can read about the buggers.

[Woolfcom]

@ColonelAllan True, True Old Bean - hence why we believe we're so "tolerant" despite not being in any position to be the best judge of that! Another thing Col. one must remember that whilst our history as WE errr skip over it and tell an incredulous world that we ruled the globe converting folks to English using a series of lecture tours - many victim countries rather unpleasant treatment - will reflect a somewhat NASTIER historical experience. Still stiff upper lip and all that! Marvellous!

[ColonelAllan]

@Woolfcom Poppycock! The barbarians are liars. We simply blessed them with a proper religion and basic rules of civilization.

[Woolfcom]

@ColonelAllan Popycock indeed - whilst slaughtering them and stealing their valuables - glass house old Boy! Mass murder and whole thievery - So much for being civilised Old Bean!

[Woolfcom]

@ColonelAllan Poppycock indeed - whilst slaughtering them and stealing their valuables - glass house old Boy! Mass murder and wholesale thievery - So much for being civilised Old Bean!

[Woolfcom]

@ColonelAllan Poppycock indeed - whilst slaughtering them and stealing their valuables - glass house old Boy! Mass murder and wholesale thievery - So much for being civilised Old Bean! Nice to see the sense of pride we superior beings still hold on this - Tally Ho!

[ColonelAllan]

@Woolfcom Yes, basic rudimentary moral values too. They threw many a fierce spear in retaliation to this transitional period. Luckily no one was eaten.

[BurnSpangler]

@ColonelAllan reverend Aubrey bagshot

[nejipwns28]

@ColonelAllan weird i saw this same guys comment on a different website. same words and all. and in both websites nobody laughed at his joke which makes u wonder.....maybe cuz it's not funny!

[ColonelAllan]

@nejipwns28 Bloody idiot mate. Trying to make me feel bad about slavery. Which I obviously had no part in. Thought I'd play with him anyway :D

[ketmaniac]

Much to ponder here whilst chewing the Yuletide goose. I'm particularly enthusiastic about the pick-me-up for tired drivers in the form of a dashboard attachment. But it occurred to me that cars with heaters are the coming thing. So this year my wife and I have anticipated that development and presented Uncle Reginald with a hose attachment that fits neatly over the exhaust-pipe of his Armstrong-Siddely and feeds warm air into the interior via the rear window. Happy motoring Uncle Reg!

[zeldalicious]

Your post is inspired! Chin Chin Old Bean.

[witchfinder73]

Brilliant!!!!!

[TheRockybalburke]

@ketmaniac dont try to be british

[DragonSporks]

"Made in Belgium"

[EntityofSolace]

Marvelously entertaining! However since the day has passed for me allready, at least now I will know how to plan my Christmas for the next year. . . How frightening.

[Richiepookinshoo]

I'm gonna buy you the Croydon Aerodrome Game next year :)

[EntityofSolace]

Bless your heart, hehe. :P Mayhaps you do deserve a baby aligator in return then.

[jim8202]

I also have three baby aligators which I could let you have at an attractive out of season price.

[benzone50]

this was a wonderful christmas tiding-most enjoyable. glad the film was saved from the gasoline & matches game LOL!

[onlyed87]

I actually did Laugh Out Loud. Now my neighbors suspect me.

[jim8202]

I have six tiger cubs and four baby elephants for sale if anyone is interested.

[mrspivvy]

Rofl @ "simon shoots the smiling sambos"!!!

[jim8202]

[ultramarinegoat]

[jim8202]

[blackpoolbarmpot]

"Remember the Poor - they may try to burgle your house whilst your out at Church".

Wonderful - this is absolute classic. I would love to see a DVD dedicated to the Mr Cholmondley-Warner and Grayson sketches, with the adverts and public improvement films...!

[BZPeru]

absolute fucking genius.

[weholdparties]

When did the English start using Happy Christmas if they don't use it in the video? Is it a regional thing to say one over the other?

[swingingmonk]

No, they're both said everywhere in England, both meaning high spirits.

[qarton]

informatatative!!!!

hahaha hilarious

[ironjohnlad]

remember the poor at christmas they may burgle your house when you are at Church ! Very funny John T

[GustavG10]
