The League of Gentlemen - Legz Akimbo Intro and Play

[TheIrish39]

When I grow up I want to be like Olly.

[alsa1980]

brilliant. One of my favourite sketches from TLoG. ".. and if people don't like it, they can go kill themselves like mum did."

[modsheff1]

[mozzersquiff]

[karaloca]

I don't remember the canned laughter.

[silentpigeon1]

@karaloca it's an audience...

[karaloca]

@silentpigeon1 It wasn't presented live.

[LizaLips1]

No thumbs down, good stuff.

[HoosierMF]

What does Ollie say when he picks up the chair?

[notdrivingaminimetro]

I'm not!

[randypan71]

olly plimsolls.beaut!

[DeathAndroid]

Dykes on the other hand are evil.

[PonyboyInNewZealand]

LOL "living with a female Geoff Capes"

[gray499kcw]

What about AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDS!

[handybaggy]

My friend is in this sketch... and he really is gay LOL

[Lauralovesquche]

I love Reece Shearsmith.

[mtheadedwally]

The thing is, we used to have people coming round to schools, They would come in, present some absolute crap about a 'topical issue' and we'd sit there squirming; there were never the on stage arguments, but I used to hate this patronising rubbish. We had one about drink driving once and the whole school was in uproar, not because they told the true story of a young girl dying through getting in a car with a drunk driver, but through the iditioc way they told the story., The LoG got it spot on!

[CountFerodo]

"i bet you...there are some gays in this room!"

[MushroomMai]

I love these guys... I've adored these guys for years, they will always be my favourite comedy writers.. and actors, the league of gentlemen, the guys have this atmosphere to their work, and style in writing that just.. ag it's just perfect. I love it.

The only show that's really come close for me is Black Books, but the League still top that for me. I have a special place in my heart for Reece, Steve, Mark and Jermey, and all their weird and wonderful creations. :)

[seafortha]

fuckin class.. don't think i've laughed so hard in my life until i saw these lot.. bloody hysterical..lol

[Davross]

Legz Akimbo. Based on the theatre company Cragrats.

[seafortha]

really? where were they based?

[Davross]

Huddersfield. Went bust last year.

[PeteGeeza86]

In modern Britain we have homosexuals teaching our kids...scary...

[myothernameistaken]

@PeteGeeza86 Yeah, and emptying your bins. And serving you drinks. And driving taxis. And running companies. And being MPs. And pretty much doing fucking everything else too.

[PeteGeeza86]

@myothernameistaken

I know my friend....it's disgraceful how much input these gay homosexuals have on the lives of us straight,normal folk who don't choose to engage in the acts those men perform on each other.Many of us don't wish to see it!

[myothernameistaken]

@PeteGeeza86 You're really missing the point there. The point is a lot more people are gay than you think, and a lot of the time, you'll never know, because it's none of your business what other people do privately.

You know the computer was invented by a gay man? And that Stephen Fry is gay?

[acdcrock93]

And if people dont like that they can go kill themselves like mum did.

:D

[bvsmyth]

hang on, i dont remember TloG having canned laughter. Is this from the DVD or something?

[LetsDrawTheProphet]

youve been watching season 3

[seafortha]

no it always has. i've got the vids and it's used on them aswell..

[peepfromsheff]

[Mouse2113]

[jordanmcpartland]

Thats filmed in my school, the science room and our drama studio and my older coision is the fat school kid LMAO !

[0Apothecaries0]

Guilty...not guilty...oh why are you judging me!

[HelloPancakes]

I'd love it if Legz Akimbo came to my school

[joshliamdunne]

i agree wezzipooh. it was exactly like that at my school. especially the way ollie goes over-the-top in enthusiasm.

[Wezzipooh]

I always hated this sort of shit at school. its scarily accurrate

[Mounhas]

Ah, found it at last, imho the funniest sketch of the prog, along with the Job centre sketches. Tks for the posting...

[Emmie45678]

I love Reece as Ollie

[jtjcp88]

The whole scene is fantastic. Completely flipping out in front of a bunch of 14 year olds, ranting about dykes and lezzas and screaming "DONT TOUCH ME YOU POOF!!". Brilliant

[christschinwon]

Reece is doing the Edward voice when he's the judge. How do you plead?!!!!!

[0898007]

[SERVANTOFSET]

I think this is even better on the radio version. I won't say why because it would spoil things but I urge you to get the raido disks.

[Brindle91]

It's a big fat lezza, wearing my slippers, smoking my pipe!

[sandfordmill]
