  • whoever disagrees with the gold standard is stupid.

  • Woot!!! =D

  • Me and my sister can watch this a million times over and still laugh every time.Harry Enfield's awesome! I spent a recent week off uni pretty much solidly watching HEaC and got inspired to write to him asking why you can't get it on DVD as it's so good. I didn't expect him to reply but he wrote a really nice letter. He even gave me tips on comedy writing since I mentioned I'd been doing it on my course! Maximum respect for him!

    PS Why do people HAVE to get into arguments on YouTube videos? :(

  • @Angusismyhero Ummm.... no-one cares about what a strong and independent woman you are because you can watch this and laugh...

  • @Ellis01234567890 You misunderstood me, I wasn't trying to make a feministy point, I just love Harry Enfield and Chums.

  • HIL

  • ARI

  • OUS

  • To find a woman you need time and money,

    Woman=time x money

    Time is money therefore woman = (money)2

    Money is the route of all problems

    Money = the square root of problems

    Therefore women = problems

    A+

  • @SpartanStig117 root of all evil not problems

  • LOL at the comments which don't understand the irony of this video, (the thing is, its mainly the sexist comments that don't really get it...)

  • Comment removed

  • Look at these venomous harridans. 

  • Yeah, but they have a right to be wrong.

  • @Indeed999

    you mean...it's not serious ?

    what ananticlimax

    disillusioned

  • Is it bad that Im a woman and agree to this a bit?

  • what a load of pure bulls... is that why the world is so screwed up becos it's a so called "man's world"  war, rape, incests, hunger, poverty, single mothers. Get real!!!

  • @alley7712 ever heard of satire?

  • @MrButtsimpson are the humour directed to women's I.Q or the mindset of men????

  • @alley7712 Alley, no your place- WOMAN! now iron my shirt...

  • @TAXtheAtheist IS THAT WHAT YOUR FATHER TOLD YOUR MOTHER!!! GREAT EXAMPLE FOR A POOR LITTLE DICKHEAD.

  • @alley7712 You are completely out of control. get it together, and stay away from car keys and voting booths...

  • @TAXtheAtheist Is that what your father told your mother after they made you?????? hah haha ha.

  • @alley7712 Get a sense of humour. It's comedy; making fun of the attitude towards women in those days

  • @0xshotgunx0 Let's make fun of the size of men's dicks hahaha now thats comedy. Hey what looks like a rotten pear with a worm sticking out!???HEEEHEEEHEEE SEE I DO HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR MALE CHAUVINISTIC PIG!!! Women and girls still get killed in third world countries for being women and u bastards think its funny.

  • @alley7712 Killings in third world countries? Really? That's what you got from this? It's called irony. The men are being made fun of too, did you not hear what she said before she was dragged away? She's clearly supposed to be more intelligent than the men. I'm all for a debate about sexism, comedy and stereotypes... but looking at your comments, you're not doing your argument any favours shouting about dicks, using all capitals and writing "HEEHEHEHHEEE". Just makes you seem very immature.

  • @p3nathan immature for standing up for my fellow women that's being mocked by students ye rite. Have you heard of Afghanistan have you heard about women trafficking idiot!? Have you heard about Congo? Why was it put on youtube by a man and why is it just about women??? Go back to your stone-age there are better things to make fun of then women standing up for themselves.

  • Comment removed

  • @alley7712 maybe if you calmed the heck down and actually watched the sketch for what it is, you'd see that the men r mocked as well as the women. I'm all for women's rights... these are old English ideas that seem ridiculous now (hence the comedy). If you think shouting at people like a psycho puts feminism in a good light, you're kidding yourself

  • @p3nathan Wow!!! where is u'r sense of humour now, did i hit a nerve. Make fun of men then u'r immature and a feminist, double standard. Omg now I see the humour look at me ROFL did u see how that guy dragged his wife out of there gosh that's comedy at it's best NOT!!! Those stupid women that like this must be potential hookers, blonde or strippers and the men wankers. Should you not go and watch sum degrading porn and stop replying to my comments.FREEDOM OF SPEECH RITE, RITE!!!!????

  • @alley7712 hey hey hey now, I realize someone is wrong on the internet and that sucks, but this is /satire/. It's not promoting the idea women can't have good ideas, it's mocking it. It's mocking the whole culture of it in a non-threatening form we(well most of us) can laugh at. Clearly you're at a place where these things are too close to home because the issues are serious and serious oppression of women still exists, but why not put that energy into not the youtube comment section.

  • Brilliant!

  • LOL We watched this in History Class! xD

  • True to a good extent. I'm not into politics and all, but I still prefer giving my opinion. Something is better than nothing.

  • @Mariahiqbal3 Not true. Better to remain silent and look like a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt. Having an opinion on an issue that you know nothing about is plain foolish. Take care.

  • This is the funniest thing I've seen in a while!

  • yeah i dont find this amusing at all...

  • @ihave90days Are you a stupid American? This is a comedy sketch, not a documentary.

  • @badbob12345678 actually no I'm not American. And yes, i am fully aware its a comedy sketch, not a documentary. I merely do not find it amusing, just my opinion :)

  • @ihave90days Then go and travel the world, develop a sense of humour and only then come back online to participate in our exchange of witty stories and anecdotes.

  • @ThemeIshere I apologize as I seem to have offended you by offering my personal opinion on this video. I actually consider myself quite well-travlled haven lived in three different continents. I would still love to hear your witty stories and anecdotes though :)

  • taking de piss ha ....

  • all women need a good hard cock up there arse ......hhhhhmmmmmm ha im going to give my wife a good spanking now ...haha you shit hole feminists im going to beat her bare arse red just cause i have controll over her ha ..

  • @krdand yes, we men should definitely come to THING of it. oh and surely the best at grammar as well I may add!

  • western idiots)))

  • Please show me more instructional videos! I need training videos for my wife. She has been diagnosed with opinions.

  • Comment removed

  • Shes an alien.

  • Ahaha, why don't we make a video saying 'Black people, know your place' - but no, everyone treats sexism as a joke!

  • @ladyxluckxrulesxok Well, it is. You see videos these days which show men to be invariably incompetent and women having the solutions. Films these days often show male characters to be incapable of surviving without female characters, or they are continually outsmarted by them (case in point, Zombieland, Kick Ass). If you live in the UK, Boots TV adverts are particularly guilty of this. If you don't, I'm sure it applies to adverts in your country. Women are just as guilty of this as men are!

  • @ladyxluckxrulesxok The difference between sexism and black people is that women weren't whipped and treated like dirt because the colour of their skin, you cannot compare

  • @1tribune1 - Saudi Arabia anyone?

  • @1tribune1 No, you cannot compare, but not because racism is or have been worse than sexism, but because it's simply two different things. In some way, people of colour have had it worse, because the opression and violence against them have been more open and direct. In some ways women have had it and still do have it worse. So let's forget the whole what is worse- argument and agree that racism and sexism is shit.

  • @ladyxluckxrulesxok We could also make video about women having no sense of humour, but I doubt you would get it :-)

  • 230 women had an opinion of thier own and disliked this video

  • @SwagnumMcManCannon But why!

    Enfield has many characters - all the same. Seems he forgot the stick-out teeth in this one.

  • @SwagnumMcManCannon Shut the fuck up.

  • As God intended.

  • 1:35 <3 :D

  • All the best jokes and scetches are the ones closest to then truth.

  • as funny as this is.. there is a subtle truth to it.

  • @ZeeGooner ...erm...nope

  • that was bloody hilarious.  hahah.

  • It's funny but reflects the way that women were treated at that time. I grew up in the 60's in a little country town in NSW. In my experience girls were not expected to have an opinion, or disagree with adults, particularly men. In our home we were exposed to comments like "Women's brains are smaller and lighter than men's, therefore they aren't as intelligent". It was a stifling way to live.

  • lol fynny

  • LOL

    

  • I Still think this is funny even today. Easy for it to be taken out of context though if you are a bit thick!!

  • duuude

  • Women who can't understand that this is satire have clearly been deranged by too much education!

  • Comment removed

  • @teresahamiltonkoch Civil Engineering is fine, as long as you know your limits!

  • i'm a woman but i don't find this offending at all. girls you have to understand that the comedic element of this video is actually mocking the sexual double standards of the 50s and 60s, not promoting or encouraging it at all. in other words, people are laughing at how stupid we were to believe that men were better than women. don't be so quick to judge and easily offended, instead, try to understand the appeal of humor to the audience.

  • wats so fuuny in dis..offensive!

  • WOMEN KNOW YOUR LIMITS AND GO MAKE ME A FUCKING SANDWICH YEHHH !!!!

  • Nice way to show how stupid and sexist people were back then... thank goodness we live in enlightened times!

    PS: A message that needs to be taken from this. The woman was right- the men were wrong. ;)

  • @jazzzyy13 Who let you out of the kitchen?

  • @jazzzyy13 YET, why did you left?

  • one of my favourite sketches of all time … love British irony …. what a load of tosh most of these comments are … if you can't see Enfield is patronising sexist gits you need to get an education yourself! (from an arch feminist) :) who is pmsl at this sketch.

  • I flipping love this!

  • Were they criticised for this sketch?

  • @ET740 No. So far, the suing culture has been held back just enough to protect our subtle love of sarcasm.

  • @ET740 nope, people back in early 90's were less P.C. Shame their not the same now

  • It's funny because it states that people on the internet have the same train of thoughts that they used to have in the 40's.

  • Women are silly at the most crucial of times, what exactly is not educational about this.

  • Best clip ever!!!

  • We watched this on our history lesson. Everyone found it hilarious. So funny , HAHAHAHAHAHA !!!

  • 0:40 bitch please look

  • Really really funny, but I'm not sure things have changed that much !! Hahahaha!!

    Although some of the comments here are a bit strange Hahaha!

  • We watched this in our GCSE history class, everyone was laughing

    The sexism is ridicuous but I cant help finding this brilliant :'D

    The kitten excuse is mine now for when I don't know something x'D

  • the dislike bar is the size of justin beibers penis

  • its really offensive!

  • @ahwanjoshi1234 Get over it.

  • Yea know your place bitches lol.

  • My history teacher told me to watch this :L

  • *Snicker* Loved it!

  • WIMMIN - don't drive!, it is bad for your complexion.

    See this video,

    watch?v=HT2eECKvdTc

    See? WIMMIN - know your limits.

  • i hate feminists

  • :'D

  • I always found this hilarious and I'm a feminist. So stop with your generalisations please. Also comparing radical feminists to Nazis is an insult to the victims of Nazi persecution and their families. When radical feminists start to slaughter 11 million people based on their ethnicity, religion, sexuality, physical or mental ability or political leanings, then we can talk.

  • @stuckupcow90 You have that username and you ask to not generalize? Whatever, cool story sis.

  • @stuckupcow90

    FEminists are too stupid to slaughter people effectively. They are FEMALE after all.

    Oddly enough, the only REASON people haven't gotten angry and violent against feminists was because... they are "only female." Any other group of people, black, whites/ etc would've been involved in a war.

    A feminist is more likely to slaughter someone in their sleep, and claim it was "self defense" like tey do against hteir husbands.

  • i dont think enough people have seen this video

  • I bet if this was "Men: Know Your Limits" Feminazis would be dancing on the streets.

  • @TheLongestUsername93 Ah the term "Feminazi" a term made famous by that overweight, conservative imbecile Rush Limbaugh. Watch Bill Hick's diatribe against him.

  • SHUT SHO MOUTH.

  • The woman you mention probably has no problem letting men do most of the dirty and dangerous work in the military and civilian life. Speaking of feminazis, Why do sumo wrestlers shave their legs? So they don't get confused with feminists!

  • 218 Women don't know their limits!

    and if you want to bitch about equal rights then men should be able to punch you she bitches, then rights will be equal you lesbians!

  • @224937 LOL no, it doesn't work like that. First of all, violence against anyone when not in self defence is unjustified. Second, when you hit your spouse because you believe they are your property, it's an act of control and power and thus discriminatory. Third, there is nothing wrong with being a lesbian.

  • @stuckupcow90 Lesbians, mmm - yummy!

  • But the real question is: "Should the government return to the gold standard?"

  • @SpunkySkunk347 Yes. We are all agreed. It's only the silly woman that thinks otherwise and look where her silly idea has got us.

  • @SpunkySkunk347 Yes.The men are right in being upset. Devaluation would enrich exporters but that would come at a cost of impoverishing everybody else because people would now have to pay more for imports and domestically produced goods would go to exports. Also, the gold standard prevents large expansions of credit/debt that, according to the austrian theory of the business cycle, cause recessions. I wonder if the creators of the video had this in mind because then it has a whole new meaning.

  • This is hilarious, but honestly, it's also pretty damned good advice. Seriously women, KNOW your limits!

  • 218 women don't know their limits.

  • Anyone who gets offended at this needs to grow up and realise that it's parodying actual public information films that existed in the 40's and 50's.

  • @Simple1Jack Is it so bad for people to have their opinions? If some people think this is offensive, isn't that up to them?

  • @jazzzyy13 I didn't say they couldn't be offended, just that they should go take a look at what this was inspired by. It's making fun of sexism and its absurdity, but unfortunately some people just can't see past the surface layer.

  • @Simple1Jack I accept that, but at the same time, people are allowed to criticise it. They might just take it in a different way, and that's OK. This kind of thing isn't for everyone.

  • @jazzzyy13 People are allowed to criticise whatever they want but I think that if you're criticising this for being sexist then you're completely missing the point of it.

  • @Simple1Jack And that's your opinion. All I'm saying is, respect other people's thoughts on the video.

  • @jazzzyy13 Dude, this is YouTube. If you're going to go around berating people for not respecting other peoples thoughts on different videos then you're going to be here a very long time.

  • @Simple1Jack I realise that, being the intelligent person I am. But if more people respect others on YouTube, then that's a start, isn't it? It'll improve someone's day.

  • @jazzzyy13 Well in that case I look forward to the day when everyone respects each other on YouTube while making people happy and visiting the Magical Man from Happy-Land, in a gumdrop house on Lollipop Lane!

  • @Simple1Jack Oh, the cynicism. It is possible.

  • Sad story!

    Man: Make me a sandwich.

    Woman: No.

    Thumbs up if you cried!

  • Comment removed

  • They showed me this in history. :L

  • thanks to this

  • holy bloody hell! funniest thing I've seen in ages.

  • so 240P, we meet again

  • SOFT AND FURRY!

  • This video is hilarious. You know what's less hilarious? Fuckheads down there actually taking it at face value. You know who you are.

  • There's nothing to "get", the jokes here are obvious and blunt. Just because she got angry doesn't mean she didn't "get" the humor.

  • This is brilliant.

  • @tonester09 hahaha, yes you like that, dont you! lol lol

    I must admit i have been watching it more than once. I think its brilliant. too!! lol

  • hahaha i think you're all stupid and mad trying to discuss this as a serious topic! it's just a joke! wake up! :D

  • That is teh funny shitz

  • Wow!! Fantastic! Ironic and sarcastic!

  • hmm..yeah it was a joke..but women even though they have education most of the time gossip..thats what they like..they will never start a conversation lying outside gossip...they dont give a shit about complex issues..thats what i noticed...gossip fill their lives with joy..lol

  • @bitethis47 Don't be so ridiculously stupid. 

  • @MegaWinnieGirl this is what keep seeing at work at home everywhere...they gossip all day cz they like it..the the other kind of convo..they dont really give a shit...they do it just to go with the flow...most woman.

  • @bitethis47 Both men and women gossip. Neither does it more than the other; it's just more noticeable when women do it because you already know it as a stereotype.

  • @bitethis47 both gossip...but saying that man do it as much as woman is completely false..sometimes my mom talks on the phone for hours..all day..i dont spend more than 5 mins on the phone..and they gossip more at work too.

  • @bitethis47 Actually, from what I've seen, women talk about more serious issues than men, who have their own kind of gossip about pointless stuff. Different pointless stuff though. But nobody's going to have the same experience. It depends on the people, I guess. We shouldn't group everyone together into these categories. I'm female, and I and most of my friends definitely don't match your description. Shallow gossip is often hideously tedious.

  • @FreelanceAngelGirl women talk more serious issues than men??...funny cz where i work i've been hearing about cream products, clothes, shoes, food, children, bff, bfs, wat x said, what y replied..etc etc....& that most of the time...im nt saying that men dont talk nonsense..like football, and alcohol...etc i think women cant live without this...thats a fact..these kind of pointless convos make them happy..intellectual ones make em less happy..lol..lot of truth in that.

  • @bitethis47 Men talk about as much pointless stuff as women, from what I've seen. There was a survey on what men and women prioritized and for men, Sky Sports was in the top three, whereas women had put "gas bills". Both genders are capable of discussing all kinds of topics. But I guess so what if either gender wants to talk about something happier? Not just women, serious topics make everyone less happy. Global warming isn't exactly happy fun time. But we still care much more about it.

  • @FreelanceAngelGirl serious topics may be less interesting( depends on the person)...but changing the topic of a conversation from time to time would not be a crime...serious topics can be interesting...lol

  • @bitethis47 Fair enough, But both genders do this I think. Any variation is very subtle. Anyway this argument is pretty pointless...we're not getting anywhere...but nice talking to you!

  • @FreelanceAngelGirl yeah both gossip..lol but its a different style...women talk like chicken fighting...lol

  • @FreelanceAngelGirl HAHAHAHA FEMINAZI

  • @bitethis47 All women wear green pants.

    Well, at least it's as true as your comment.

  • @Lioyd1rving its not as true..i know what a generalization is..and what i stated above is not one.. i do know most women like gossip...i said MOST...not all.

  • It is a joke...calm down ;-)

  • keep passing the 3 bottom like if it works

  • Palin has limits but that is nothing about her gender...stupidity goes beyond the female-male :S

  • It turns out the men were right...they should have returned to Gold standard...

  • Guys... it's a joke. Don't be so hard up for an argument.

  • you are being sexist man, those are false information

  • I'm a male and to be honest I'd rather talk about kittens than government stuff.

  • @Sthrudel You might be gay.
