Ah, yes. You're right.

[blueboorulz]

eat beef - best skit ever

[diskomannetjie]

kak!!!

[zygimax]

I love it!

[firekreve2j]

the kelsey grammer version is CRAP, the swedish version is even funnier than the american version, in general americans aren't funny.. this is the best version by far, love it

[helsbels79]

My family and I have been singing this for years and this is the first time I've actaully seen the clip!!

Thanks :o)

[qqq123qq41tw]

^Q^

[OhElvira]

The American version of this is crap. Just like The Office they hijacked a perefectly good TV show and ruined it.

Kelsey Grammer should stick to playing Frasier the rest of his life.

[hailruaidhri]

i have to dis agree even though i am a scot. Kelsey Grammer is a great actor and even though it may not be better it is still class. No hard fellings.

frakie mcguire

[OhElvira]

They should stop americanising things just so american audiences will watch it. I guess things have to be americanised for them to understand it.

eg. The Office, The Sketch Show, Kath & Kim.

It's quite sad they don't understand the original English or Australian format.

[Iscanniya]

hmm...i like the version of kelsey grammer...

[EagleKammback]

That was funny!!

Too bad most Americans, like me, don't care for most British Humor.

[XgenArea51]

I loved that one too.

[rubanigirl]

this is so wierd

[iamatrekkie]

I've been looking for this clip for a while - smack the pony was a very funny series!

[redaktionsleiter]

lol, this clip came from The Sketch Show which was shown on ITV1 in its time.

[sneakysouns]

Man, even if it is predictable, its still really funny.

[Rpureblood]

SOOOO FUNNY!!

[kiwigal36]

the mama's and the papa's sang it....Mama Cass!

[artem101]

can anyone plz tell me what this actual song is called?

[babyswitchblade]

"California Dreaming" and it's by the Mamas and the Papas.

[artem101]

cheers man

[beermilkshake]

Did anyone esle find this sketch pretty predicable? Saw all the jokes coming from a mile away.

[anarchist316]

the u.s version with kelsey grammer is better

[CoolRusty]

You're kidding, right?

[PhredLevi]

Yeah, Kelsey does a better job of getting angry and making them sing the song wrong.

Or maybe I just love Kelsey Grammer's voice.

[whitehousegirl]

Yeah, I think so too. You're right Kelsey does a better job.

[mruss1]

he's not kidding, the US version really is funnier. :)

[redaktionsleiter]

I reckon if the US version had Tim Vine in it, it could have been so much better, so in that case I prefer the UK version. Could be because that was the first one I saw.

[xXxXxcozzaxXxXx]

i actually had this song stuck in my head erlia XD

[bluebeat01]

they did it to the office too, its just flogging old ideas cause they cant think of anything new

but nothing beats the original

[Yangkee]

So? Its called localising (I think)Americans have been doing it for years. Theyre trying to localise an Aussie classic right now I believe

[marsflamesniper]

Kath and Kim, Americans have no sense of other cultures. As a majority I mean. I do understand that some people might.

[animekid200]

lol great show, did you know the fag off frasier did a 100% copy of every epsiode of this show? except with a lower budget

[rutes0806]

yeah im with you on that, he wrecked all of the sketches. Except they kept Lee Mack on it. they majorly screwed up.

[Wurschtle]

it's great

[Shoe]

love it

[cheesein951]

it probably doesnt amount to much, but my sketch show tried to replicate this. we are lousy singers xD

[artesea2000]

The video ID for the US version is jXLM-05vjII (can't post links) it's about 2 minutes into the clip.

[obiwan84265123]

ROFLMAO

[CKru8789]

Someone should add the kelsey grammer version also.

[thedragqueen722]

Hahahahahaha it's so cute. I don't really like kevin21boston not liking the video either because I can't understand that but I guess everyone's entitled to their own opinions. Just don't be so blatant next time, eh? Try a little politeness.

[TaffyGood]

the third recording of it killed me, haha, never tired of it.

[sckma]

oh god, this is the funniest sketch i've ever seen.

[CKru8789]

The U.S. version of this had Kelsey Grammer doing it.

[thedragqueen722]

Hahaha yeah I've watched that one. I've never seen this before hehe.

[netvidfacl]

one of the funniest sketches ever!!

[jimmypaddy]

that is really funny, people who don't get the humour must be really stupid

[Patrick6740]

it's so FUNNY !!!! :D:D:D

[nickex66]

hahaha a classic!!!

[kevin21boston]

i didn't think it was that great. the only time i laughed was when i was thinking to myself how i wasnt laughing.

[3728790]

then kevin21, all i can say is you are a moron and have no sense of humor. ps you are a moron

[Sargjaeger]

u are obviously wrong. I bet this was funny at the time, and might still be for some viewers today. but I saw it the first time, and it was COMPLETELY predictable. How funny can a joke be, if theres NO surprise at all?

[xxXLichKingXxx]

Anyone who doesn't laughing at it is moron,a nerd...it is the funniest video i ever saw ....

[SickFoetus]

Oh my god, I saw the exact same sketch in the Sketch Show from Quebec, I didn't know it was originally from the UK, love this show

[A350cid]

absolutely hilarious! Great Post!

[Crysifio]

I LOVE THIS ONE !!!

It's my favourite too :D

[chelseayouthfirm]

[maddiswhale]
