  • Jennifer looks exactly like Meryl did in the movie!!

  • Comment removed

  • Is it me or does Dawn French look a lot like the the man who played Dennis is Jurassic Park in this - Wayne Knight. Especially here 4.20 I love this Parody - better than the film for me. Everyone else I know loved this film I just couldn't bring myself to like it.

  • Can someone explain the "burr burr" thing? I get that Pierce is an awful singer, but is the "burr burr" because he slurred his words in the original?

  • omg they look IDENTICAL TO THE CAST

  • genius 2

  • Proof, if it was ever needed, of fantastic female comedians! I absolutely loved it! Thank you for posting!

  • "the sheer acting of Meryl Streep"

  • HAHAHHAHAAAHAHHAHAHAHAAH!~

  • Joanna Lumley continuously pushing up her boobs is actually making me cry ='D This will NEVER get old!!

  • The facial expressions Dawn has at 4:18 are amazingly hilarious.

  • Joanna is hilarious in this!!! xD

  • Joana lumley will always make me laugh no matter what she does ! shes so whacky ! I want her to have a main role in a movie!

  • What does the director say at 2:59?

  • @ZeY00T00b "Loving it!"

  • 2:35 I think this was the moment I fell in love with Joanna Lumley.

  • 'im going to sing'

    'Noo! Speech'

    'Music'

    'Noo!'

    HAHA

  • 'Im going to sing'

    'Noo! Speech'

    HAHAHA

  • 8 people don't know good comedy.

  • "i cant find the way out"

  • Alan Carr :') 

  • "The pure genius of ABBA" indeed.

  • halfway through you can envision the guy or gal making the flash screens breaking down in tears; 'why.. why?!!!'

  • 2:29 and 4:55 the best bits i nearly peed myself when i first saw it! XD

  • @IndieRockChick101 Same!!!

  • funniest thing ive seen in so long. made my day. LOVELOVELOVE

  • This 6:29 has been the best worth of time in my entire life. COMIC GENIUS :D

  • "No speech","No", i nearly creased up and then to top it off Berr Berr that was me finished

  • alan carr shouting NO made me laugh lol !

  • 4:39-5:30 is the best bit but not by far!! It just beats the red scarf in my opinion! I love the original and I love this!

  • Wish French and Saunders would do more sketches they are so funny

  • 2:31 -- Constipation?

  • @SeddieTennant14 nope. Joanna Lumley :)

  • whats the song that alan carr sings?

  • @hlshaw21 Our last summer but in a Comic Relief way... :)

  • i love matt lucas xD

  • Joaana Lumey <3

  • aah how sienna miller is a babe!!

  • "How Dare you assume im straight!!"

    Lmao

  • God, this is brilliantly funny! I'm in tears, lmao. I love it. I was a bit saddened during the first part when I realized it wasn't really the actors making fun of themselves, but this is loads better! Fantastic!

  • "im going to sing" NO SPEECH!!!

  • NO SPEECH XD

  • I really love this :) . Jennifers impersonations of Meryl Streep are fabulous, she sounds and looks like her loads. On Comic Strip The Strike, she does another impression of Meryl Streep and its as if it was actually Meryl, its really weird but amazing. Jen has Meryls characteristics spot on. Love it. :) .x.

  • @ratsRfab Oh yeah, I totally forgot CSP: The Strike was funny and her obsession with oranges

  • Jennifer Saunders looks and acts just like Meryl Streep!!! She is an excellent mimic.

  • Dawn French gurning 'take a chance on me' and Phil Glenister's ber berrr had me crying with laughter!

  • "i'm going to sing" just that one line had me crying with laughter

  • 02:58 is the best part!!!!

  • I think Joanna's version of Does Your Mother Know is better than the original. What a wonderful rendition:)

  • 'The winner takes it all' and 'Bur bur bur' had me clapping my hands to my mouth, desperately trying not to wake up my neighbourhood xD These women are amazing.

  • @Minty210 same i think they were the two things that got me crying with laughter, along with Joanna Lumley's dancing in "Does your mother know" and Matt Lucas' dancing instructions

  • Is the actor playing the gay dad well-known in the UK?

  • @jeffeastwood15 Yeah it's alan carr, a comedian/ tv presenter

  • @jeffeastwood15

    Yes Alan Carr is a well known comedian :)

  • Jennifer should do a full version of the winner takes it all, and mamma mia it would sound amazing <3

    I Love Saunders <3

  • Joanna Lumley's dancing is truly amazing. Jennifer is such a brilliant actress, singer and comedian.

  • I love it when Joanna says "I dont know what we're supposed to be doing.". Dawn "No neither do i, just do Patsy that's all you can do". Its hilarious. Jennifer, Dawn and Joanna are amazing love them all. .x.

  • I love it when Joanna says "I dont know what we're supposed to be doing.". Dawn "No neither do i, just do Patsy that's all you can do". Its hilarious. Jennifer, Dawn and Joanna are amazing love them all. .x.

  • I love and respect Pierce Brosnan as an actor, but I agree that he's not a great singer. haha

  • "The actors would like to make it clear that the actors depicted bear no resemblance to anyone living—OR DEAD." LOL.

  • Simply adore Joanna Lumley's bit of "Does your Mother know"!

  • huh!! AWERSONE!!!!!!

    berr berr berr....

  • ah watching this just made me excited to see the film, then realising it wasnt gonna happen. quite depressing.

    i'd watch this if it came out as movie!

  • Fuck Jennifer can sing.

  • And Matt Lucas is in as well! French & Saunders and Walliams & Lucas is the best thing that has ever happened to British comedy the last ten years.

  • Jennifer Saunders is more Meryl Streep than Meryl Streep herself!

  • this is hilarious! Hope they do another spoof this year :)

  • I'm going to sing now."

    "No, SPEECH!"

    LMAO :)

  • love this and phil is ace

  • love this and omg Phil you rock huni

  • I fucking. love. patsy

  • take a chance on me....dawn french ftw

  • all the people swaying happily while "buhh buhh. buh buhh" XD

  • This is a perfect example why Comic Relief is so much better than Children in Need!

  • "oh hello" LMFAO ALAN

  • jennifer should be credited more for this, she looks so much like meryl and acts ike her is amazing :L

  • Jennifer is much better than Meryl Streep.

  • i speek french ubidubiuduba daba nes pa? gets me everytime lol

  • Alan Carr's offscreen "NO!" was hilarious.

  • Better than the actual film...

  • "Duz Nbody Want Any Moooore"!!

    "no nobody wants any more"

    LOL that made me laugh so much haha

  • bur bur, bur bur, bur bur bur.

    love that bit :L

  • I really think Meryl Streep and Julie Walters are brilliant, but the parody on their mannerisms, are spot on. Is the guy with the 'buh wuh' part that starts around 4:58 supposed to be Pierce Brosnan or Colin Firth (I saw the movie, but do not remember that).

  • @CF1975 Pierce Brosnan,its the song at the end 'When All Is Said and Done'

  • "WORDS IN BETWEEN."  "KEPT IT TO SUMMERTIME SPECIAL 1978". Just two of the brilliant quotes. Joanna Lumley parodying Tanya....love the clueless director also. Jennifer and Philip Glenister....could go on forever. This was brilliant. And I love the movie.

  • This is probably a stupid question because it's meant to be funny but if anyone can actually understand / hear what she's saying in "French" what does Sienna Miller actually say?

    I know it was probably nonsense but if it wasn't I'm curious. I can speak some French but she was speaking too fast for me.

  • Oh god, I love Philip Glenister! He is too amazing in this

  • Glenister is a fuckin ledgend, nuff said!

  • buurrr burr buuuuurrr buuurr buuuuuh buuuuurh bbuuuuruhuuuuuuhhhh......

    BAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAAH!!!!!

  • 'berr berrr berrr berrrr berr berrrr'

    PAHAHA

  • Thanks very much for another hernia

    Stop making me laugh so hard godammit!!!

  • Jennifer's "Winner Takes It All" was f-ing brilliant!~

  • Take a chance on me.........

  • I just LOVE British humor. This had me in stitches...I can't believe I am crying...Love these women...I LOVE Dawn French, she is a wonderful actress...The movie Mama Mia sucked so bad...this was a vast improvement.

  • PRICELESS!!!!!

  • can't beat the humour of phillip glenister. especially in Life On Mars (british version, not american)

  • @sebra1818 I totally agree!

  • Jennifer Saunders has Meryl Streep down to a T, haha love Jennifer, Dawn and Joanna, they're hilarious!

  • Jennifer's impersonation of Meryl's hand gestures was hysterical. I especially love "Meryl Streep's Sheer Acting"

  • the drunk song at 5:46 hahahahaha

  • i meant 4:46 :L

  • the winner takes it ALLLLLL *spazz out*

  • LOVE joanna Lumely doin her dance and song!! hehe 

  • I didn't realise Gene Hunt was in this when I saw it first time round.

  • i love meryl streep and i love jennifer saunders... jennifer playing meryl= perfect

  • Love Saunders singing The Winner Takes It All..actually nearly in tears :D

  • anyone else think that lady gaga was inspired by Joanna Lumley's dancing in Does Your Mother Know? :D

  • i actually love jennifer's voice compared to meryl's in the movie.

  • "BBBRRR BBBRRRR" LOL

  • Philip Glenister would have been a much better singer than Pierce Brosnan In mamma mia

  • " Does anybody want anymooore?

    Wooo, can't hear ya!

    I said DOES ANYBODY WANT AANNYYMOOOOORE?"

    "No, nobody wants anyore."

    LOL XDDDD

    I LOVE FRENCH AND SAUNDERS!!

    

  • I love how Colin's character has the rainbow striped guitar strap.

  • NO SPEECH

  • i always thought philip glenister (i think thats his name:P) would make a good BILL in mamma mia. even though he was being sam

  • they are so funny

  • Beeehhhh,beeehhhh, beeehhh......BEEEEEHHHHHH,beee­hhhhh!

    Is there ANYTHING Phil Glenister cannot do?! Brilliant, LMAO!

  • i love this part 3:35 XD LOL so funny

  • Its so funny at the end when julie person is singing to swede

  • french and saunders make my world.."if I can dance with you honey" LOL

  • I wish that American comedians were as funny as these 3!

  • "Please donate to comic relief, that was the point."

  • This was a joy to watch. British comedy is BEST !!!!!!

  • Jennifer sounds like Meryl Streep

  • Everything is great but Joanna Lumley just knocks it out of the park. (And I remember her as Purdey in 'The Avengers'). And - who's the guy as Brosnan, singing at the wedding? He's sensational.

  • @jjarndyce Philip Glenister, known for his role as Gene Hunt in British television series Life On Mars and its sequel Ashes To Ashes. hes the best one in both. First time seeing him in comedy though, thats half the joke.

  • Spot on! Jennifer has a wonderful singing voice; and she nailed Meryl Streep.

  • Julie Walters must have been unavailable

  • "oh- HALLO!"- "How dare you assume I'm straight?"

  • I never thought philip gleinster wuld do sommet like that. i wont be able to take him seriously in ashes to ashes now lol

  • so brilliant! i love Jen S sooooooo much

  • I love the irony when Sienna says to them they were too old for the role...and their reply "cut her out", love the crotch grabbing - they got the moves so right it is hilarious.

  • this is hilarious i love mamma mia nd this is so funny

    i love dawns face when she sang to the sweed,

    and when jennifer saunders with the red carf and also joanna lumley doing tanya's scene-absolutely funnny

  • Thank you! Leave it to F&S to give that awful movie what it deserves.

  • Philip Glenister is great in this!!! <3

  • ber ba, ber ba, beerr ba, ber ba, lol!!!

  • LOL Joanna Lumley dances like Lady Gaga, no?

  • "how dare you assume i'm straight!!" hahahaahaahah love it :DD love the movie and i love this!!! one of the best of french and saunders :D they're hilarious!!!

  • omg this is so funny

    i could not stop laughing :P

  • Listening to the original soundtrack, you can tell the subtle difference between Jennifer and Meryl. Still, Jennifer's sublime.

  • this makes me want to get out my ab fab dvds, love joanna in this ♥

  • love joanna lumley.

  • Omg, I love Joanna Lumley

  • I love French and Saunders!

  • 'just closed in cinemas near you'

    amazing!

  • I absolutely LOVE Joanna Lumley in this! I just burst out laughing when she sings "Well I can dance with you honey...". They're all so brilliant but Joanna Lumley is stunning in this and shows how phenomenal she really is!

  • Joanna, Dawn and Jennifer are the best comedy act ever!!!!!!

  • I Like Boats

    Could You Be My Father

    This Is Riddiculous

    Don't Worry He's Massive In Scandanivia

    LOL :)

  • Oh I love Miranda Hart! xD

  • :| they look so much like them.

  • How dare you assume I'm straight!

    LMAO!!!!

  • Is Matt Lucas the choreographer?

  • @RanjiniN Yes!

  • BUUUUUUUh BUUUUH! Buuuuh buuuh, BUUUH BUUH.

  • I loved that "Winner Takes It All" scene in the original movie — Meryl was genuinely good in it — but boy does Jennifer do a good impression of it! Haha.

  • Saunders definitely is a great singer, much better than the actress from the movie!

  • 3:35 makes me laugh soooo much :)) "My little baby got married" "no you got married mum" "oh yeah *pushes away ":') another great part ;D

  • the best part is Joanna dancing and singing Does Your Mother Know

    LOOOOOOOOL

  • I love French and Saunders! I wish it was on in America!

  • IT the must funny thing i have sense

  • Lol. The part where Saunders sings 'Winner takes it all' is priceless!

  • @crazysouthie she does a great impression, that was meryl/donna down to a tee:))))

  • oh this maks me laugh aeverytime i watch it! Saunders rocks she looked and sounded just like meyrl!

  • 'The actors would like to make it clear that the characters depicted are no resemblance to anyone living... OR DEAD.'

    XDD

  • HAHAHAHHA. i LOVE this sketch. the funniest women in showbiz.

  • this is brilliant these woman are fabulious. ii love the film mama mia and they do a great job spoofing it. brava ladies brava

  • Awesome!!! Mamma Mia is one of my favourite movies and I love the part with Pierce Brosnan,he can't sing and they do it hilarious here!!! Jennifer is awesome as Donna,Joanna is perfect as Tania(she's like Patsy Stone!)and Dawn's style is like Rosie's!!! Fantastic parody,great!!!

  • Great fun. I've watched this a few times but have only just realised that Dawn's elderly waitress bit is possibly a parody of Julie Walter's waitress in Victoria Wood's "Two Soups" sketch.

  • I thought it was more Acorn Antiques myself but there we go!

  • @GrimeyBottom It's actually a reference to Julie's Mrs Overall character from Acorn Antiques.

  • I've never seen anyone imitate Meryl Streep half as good as Saunders does. Hilarious!

  • 4:48 LOL

    ber ber ber ber!!

  • "I'm going to sing"

    'NO. Speech."

    "Music"
