  • I didn't know Jerry Springer was gay.

  • @Fronika ...he's not.

  • did anyone notice one of the kkk's was black? lol talk about the irony. This show is epic. Needs to come back to the west end.

  • Thubs up if you think the best line was "So dip us in chocolate and throw us to the lesbians"

    ...

    ...

    Also racial hate is wrong, we are all of the human race so groups such as the KKK have and always will be pointless.

  • bought the dvd some years ago....its so fucking hilarious and clever!! stewart lee and richard thomas, thank you so much for this

  • the black panthers are REALLY STUPID.everyone who is a black panther person deserves to die. They suck ass. They are stupid.REALLY REALLY REALLY stupid.

  • @crazyknight2008 This comment was dumb and not witty in the least bit. Are you implying that The Black Panthers and the KKK are similar organizations?

  • Oh tanks a lot, I hadn't caught that there was some latin words in it. About "Him am the Devil" actually my difficulties are from the part where Satan starts singing "Come Jerry gird your loins ..." until the arrival of Baby Jane

    hmm, dare I ask for more? The "every motherf**kerr should go down" is very dull to me.

  • @nicoloco71 I'm sure the lyrics are online.

  • hey, can someone right the lyrics of this song i can't figure out a half of what's sung

    Thanks, just in case i would need the lyrics of the song "Him am the devil" which is a bit later in the second act.

    Thanks in advance

  • @nicoloco71 "He came, he saw, he JerryCam, he came, he saw he Jerrycam. Veni Vidi JerryCam, Vedi Vici JerryCam, adoramus JerryCam, benedictus Jerry fuckin'... bring on the clan..."

    And 'him am the devil' is "Him am the devil (ooh yes I'm evil!), him am not good (the opposite in fact!) in fact him a total cunt (one way of putting it), him factus total cunt, shoot, what a cunt... what a cunt... etc

  • @TRWolf

    Thanks TR, I did not sussed out they used latin words, additionnally I don't get what's sung at 2:10, I got "chew some bats and go to hell", but I'm not sure. Dare I ask for more help about Him Am the Devil? I don't get the line after Jerry claims he got a table book at the Ivy. I got "??? and you walked old, you only got you ???, like the apple on the tree

    you’ll soon to come to gravity. Fall with me!. Thaaaanks, Mancunians rules!.

    "

  • @nicoloco71 I think that line is "Jews and Blacks will go to hell" then "New York Democrats as well".

    The other line is "if you're proud and you walk tall, you only got further to fall, like the apple on the tree, you'll soon succumb to gravity"

  • TR you're just great, Dare I abuse of your patience?, you know I'm actually sub-titling this Opera for foreign viewers. There are I think 20 more lines in a whole show I cannot decipher, do you mind if I ask you for more?

    For example, in that song (him am the Devil) the 3 or 4 lines that starts with "surrender your mortal soul...

    Thanks. I will need few lines in other songs (Every last motherfu*er..., "Satan and jesus Spat", "Where were you", "Behold God and "mariage of heaven & hell")

  • what a complete waste of air and acting talent.....who came up with this crap?? Anyone who wastes money going to see it must be a red neck. Although I did like that he got shot in the end.

  • @usafamom Hardly! Don't judge the whole show by one number. It's a comedy musical, and this number is making fun of the Klan. It's very Mel Brooks really.

    I've seen the show, as have many people I know, and I assure you we're no rednecks. It won all four "best musical" awards.

  • what a complete waste of air and acting talent.....who came up with this crap?? Anyone who wastes money going to see it must be a red neck.

  • Thank you- I thought it looked a bit familiar. I went to one of the shows in 2004. It was delightfully fun.

    I love how the Klan has an educational presentation in the JerryCam video on what their hood is.

  • This is probably the best choreographed Klan group in history ;)

    Which production is this from? I know it's London, but which stage?

  • @MatchGirl Cambridge Theatre, where Chicago currently is.

  • jerrysf.com

  • i am in the west coast premiere of this show. they didn't cast me as a klan member. although, as an african american, it would've have been hilarious.

  • @tonymaddoxmusic An amateur version? Well I wish you the best of luck. Show them all how good the show is even for a community version, and then hopefully the States will get the full version on Broadway someday! :)

  • Comment removed

  • @TRWolf no, not amateur. we made front page news on the san francisco chronicle. we also had articles in the huffington post and were mentioned on good morning america.

  • @tonymaddoxmusic You were paid?

  • @tonymaddoxmusic I'm hoping to see you guys in Sept.

  • @tonymaddoxmusic could you possibly get footage of talk to the hand? It's my fav song... and if no the full song, could it at least be "chick with a dick" to the fist part of talk to the hand? (all the way to 'kill all gays')

  • Comment removed

  • THERE'S A BLACK GUY IN THE CLAN! O_O (Seriously, look at the hands at 1:36). XD

  • @gibson22varcelone There's at least 3, as it's the people who play the audience in the rest of the show, heh. Not only are those 3 black, they're also women!

  • aha...i better get my waders on in this room cause its getting deep!

  • Not the fucking clan! lol!

  • C da way the kkk hate jews that big ugly lookin hat  dy wer is f jewish design...Pt that in ur pipe nd smoke it ....They are assholes they dnt deserve to even to live on this planet...

  • kkk is so stupid they must hate jesus because jesus isnt white he's jewish

  • @jamee198 Yup.

  • @TRWolf right

  • @jamee198 WOW!!!! The Klan, their not that smart .

  • Pardon my wankiness but I can´t help but comment.

    The highest rated comment is:

    "KKK is stuipd. REALLY STUIPD. Everyone who is a KKK person desrves to die. They suck ass. They are stuipd. REALLY REALLY REALLY stuipd."

    Aside from stating the obvious, I fear this perfect display of American eloquence does little for the cause of antiracism.

  • @unamiqueta Shhhh, you'll confuse and upset the natives!

  • @unamiqueta No comment on youtube is going to help the cause of antiracism. Eloquence is just going to confuse us hick americans. We need cursing and lots of it. If its not blatently obvious we say screw it. What did eloquence ever do for anyone? I think being direct and getting your point across is far more important. He thinks people in the kkk are stupid. He put it simply so everyone can understand that. And the arguments of people who are for the kkk are never more intelligent then that.

  • @IronManOfficialguy Hahaha, all very good points. I'm afraid you are absolutely right. Indeed comments on youtube will accomplish little for the cause of antiracism or any other cause worth worrying about... The real idiot is someone like me who still gets annoyed by the way things works... :)

  • @unamiqueta We're all idiots. Americans are just the only ones who are proud of it. Ahead of the curve in a twisted sort of way.

  • the KKK robes are worn in spain by preists the clan have used it as a symbol of hate, much like the swaztika was used by the nazis, originally a symbol of peace

  • That's terrible. The KKK is a horrendous part of American history, and the fact that people would use a group of sadistic murders for comedy says more about the people who make and support this play than Americans.

  • @Katiibabii95 Hardly, they're mocking the KKK!

  • @TRWolf

    What a ridiculous comment. I cannot believe that you actually had to explain to someone that they are MOCKING the KKK.

    It sums up the problem with mainstream comedy and the arts more broadly in the States... obliviousness, cultural immaturity and a misguided sense of political correctness.

  • @unamiqueta I know, heh. Ah well!

  • Homage to The Producers...or rip-off? (in relation to Springtime For Hitler)

  • @jewbricator It's hardly a rip off, but it's certainly a very Mel Brooks style sequence! :)

  • WHITE POWER!

    BLACK POWER!

    Wait im sorry....whats the difference?

  • Bought the DVD in a pound shop the other day. Money well spent imo

  • me too - a great buy

  • me too, i bought it in portobello poundland, so happy i did as this is now in my top ten musicals

  • lmaoo i was looking at that today!

  • @DaveOrdref00 haha yer i got the same deal and then some saved loads on christmas presents that year!

  • I just saw this as my final in survay and appreciation of music and it is purely amazing. lots of good songs.

  • (*sniffle*).... beautiful.....

  • This was such a great clever show!Saw it in London a few years back!

  • I love this !

  • @Xear Would you like to come to a meeting to do with journalism at the kings place theatre please befriend me if you want to.

  • is the guy playing jerry springer lewis black

  • No, it's David Soul, but he does look a bit like Lewis now you mention it!

  • @TRWolf:I was thinking the exact same thing; he especially SOUNDS like Lewis Black .... :P

  • this is a great opera though. seen it a few years back, does anyone know wer I can buy it ?

  • You should still be able to get the DVD on Amazon (probably the UK version) and various websites. Google it :)

  • KKK is stuipd. REALLY STUIPD. Everyone who is a KKK person desrves to die. They suck ass. They are stuipd. REALLY REALLY REALLY stuipd.

  • We know, that's why the show makes fun of them.

  • @TheVasilisas You do know that wishing death upon another for their beliefs is EXACTLY what the KKK do, right?

  • wow!! thats pretty neat i had no idea you could make an opera out of a show like springer..

  • Did they ever do this musical in the US?

  • Yes, but sadly not on as big a scale, so it was a quite scaled down version. Check out Wikipedia though, it tells more.

  • Thanks!

  • OMG this is fucking hilarious :P ive only ever seen clips of the Jerry Springer The Opera. this bit is the best tho :D

  • LOLL i love this...i wanna see it

  • Comment removed

  • The what now?

  • gosh its been so long since the Klan has been on earth, when you look at it from the past. Things have been so much more violent back then than now. Humans and their way of life....how do we get through the day?

  • fuck the klan fhuck all the racist people and by the way that shit was not even funny wen i was little those were the type of people i was scared of an now its a joke? think about it

  • The joke is on THEM. It's making fun of them!

  • ok I see your point. However, isnt it good that a musical has ridiculed these stupid inbred fucks to the point that they tapdancing?.....And I'm sorry, this is hilarious

  • I wish that a theatere in my area had the guts to do this, but sadly it is highly unlkely.

  • Jerry Springer is just great Vaudeville.

  • I just saw this show in Boston over the weekend and it is by far the most fun I've had in the theatre. I've been seen some funny shows, but this was by far the funniest. Go and see it if you can.

  • wait, it was in Boston?!

    Shit, I missed it!

  • I saw this it London back in 2005 and just saw it again last night in Boston. It was amazing both times.

  • jw but what's it abou? thanks!

  • Just saw it three days ago in Sydney, Australia. It was very funny. Nobody should take offence - it had a shot at EVERYBODY!!!

  • One of the most amazing shows I've EVER seen!

  • Yeah, cos it only won all 4 "Best Musical" awards and is moving all over the world and touring. Yeah, good for you.

  • I've been looking for ti everywhere her and they won't order it so I don't now what is up with it.

    Thanks for posting excerpts of it however. I LOVE it! It's great show music!

  • I wish someone could post the entire opera. I saw the original London cast version on here before they pulled it and it was GREAT! I LOVE THE KKK PART. They are soooo ignorant! And so many of them appear on the Springer show as guets...LOL.The Klan tap dancing without tripping on their sheets and busting their asses. LOL! Love it!

  • You can get it on DVD :)

  • They're doing this in St Andrews just now. It was fucking amazing.

  • aaaaaahahahah

    the kkk woot woot!

  • This is very interesting. Umm, I don't know what else to say but. . . . Wow. Uhh. Funny stuff. Racist stuff. Anyone here ever watch the movie Hamlet 2?

  • "y would i be shot?" nice one jerry

  • i want to see this ssoooooo much is it on in the uk or is there a dvd or something out?

  • It was a long run in London, then a UK Tour. Its not here now, but is on DVD if you look for it online :)

  • then i know what im going to ask for 4 ma birthday cheers dude

  • "Kiss a black and go to hell" i lol'd

  • "Jews and blacks can go to hell" isn't it?

  • I like mine better :P

  • you can go to HELL! bitch

  • I'm quoting the play dumbass lol

  • jerry springer " iv'e been shot" lol

  • lol dip us in choclate and throw us to the lesbains??? hahahahaha

  • "dip us in chocolate and throw us to the lesbians!"

    lol.

  • I do like that the KKK r being ridiculed and shown as a bunch of dicks that they r....but something still feels wrong,like it shouldnt be in an opera like this...i just think i'll not watch it again lol

  • i don't see how this is funny at all.

  • Because of the ridicule.

    The Klan come on stage to ominous music, and light a cross and stuff, and you're thinking, "oh god, what's going to happen next", you certainly dont expect them to do a big tap dance number.

  • LOL PAUSE AT 00:36 THERES A BLACK GUY IN THE KKK lol

  • It's actually a black woman, and there's 2 or 3 of them! It's the people who played the 'audience' earlier in the show :)

  • awesome!!!!

  • lol they look like a bunch of candles runing around

  • Good point.

    Has anyone got a flamethrower?

  • i just realized that kkks look like garden gnomes, sort of.

  • lmao, ok I love you, lol.

  • @joerules22 HAHAHAHAHA Gnomes Trolls!!!

  • The Jerry Springer show- The Jew openly laughing at the Southern whites. Disgusting Ashkenazi behavior.

  • If they're anything like the character in this video, wouldn't you laugh?

  • What's not to laugh at?

  • Can i buy this like at best buy or something ? i must have it

  • When this was broadcast on U K TV

    Complaints came in, in the thousands,

    Fuck Them, Windge bags This was cool we want more.... Borat the opera, hell yeah!!!

  • wtf

  • i think america has alot to learn from britain in that an opera dosent give in to bad media by Catholic nuts. America took one look at this show and said no way will that ever work. LOL look whos wrong now. New York loved it LOL

  • Technically it's not an opera. Having spoken lines. That said,I agree that the Christian Right in the US is out of control. Though,it must be said that there have been many American musicals containing controversial or what could be called objectionable themes. (Dancing Nazis in "The Producers", a 20 year run of OH! CALCUTTA!). Broadway has a long history of pushing the envelope on what is acceptable. The show has never met with protest in the US. While 9 theaters backed out in UK protests.

  • he did they make a borat opera

  • i would love that - Borat the opera - entrance in mankini

  • Have you even seen the show, before you make that judgement?

    And it did make it to the US.

  • I seen parts. And it only made it to the U.S. in Regional or Ameteur Productions. It never premiered on Broadway.

  • I recommend seeing it all before judging. What exactly do you find offensive?

    Also, its had Harvey Keitel in it so far, not quite so amateur, but its testing itself in the US before doing Broadway, but I dont doubt it'll get there.

  • I'm appalled by your extremely bad spelling.

  • I was born in Hungary. What's your excuse?

  • Excuse for what?

  • The Way you talk. Ouch!

  • ...WTF? Idiot.

  • Do you have something against the fact that I am Hungarian?

  • Nope: I have something against the fact that you are a Catholic.

  • Now you'v gone over the line!

  • What you gonna do? Get your local priest to touch up my kid?

  • No. Catholic priests need no encouragement!

  • Lol, that's certainly true.

  • that looks stupid lol id rather watch the programe its much better lol...

    And i dont like the opera or anything but i dont think its right to use fuck in it lol ha lol..

    america makes me chuckle i wanna go there one day..

    Xxx

  • i was singin this all day :L my little brother keeps singin it nw !!

    yu get sum strange looks thou !!!

  • This is one of those scenes where if you were flicking through the channels and saw this, you'd double check your tea hadn't ben spiked.

  • lol, what a great and thoroughly British response, thank you, hehe.

  • LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • whats with all the ghosts and why are they tapping?

  • they arnt ghosts there people dressed up in the kkk costume

  • those arent ghost you dumb shit its the KKK

  • now explain why they're tapping

  • comedic relief

  • hahahaha

  • this is an opera and so they have full artistic license to say anything they wanted. Besides Jerry Springer is about white trash for white trash and those who want to see their filth.

  • This whole scene is kinda like the "springtime for Hitler" scene in Mel Brook's The Producers.

  • why are people always attacking religion? very sad :(

    religous people and atheists should get along w/o making fun of eachother

  • This Is Fucked Up !!

  • I love the musical. This is clearly a massive piss take - why on earth was it banned?

  • It didnt get banned

  • the Ku Klux Klan are complete idiots.

    they commit violence againts Jewish people, saying they hate all Jews, yet their "Saviour" was Jewish.

    pretty fucked up to me

  • Yeah, we know the Klan suck, hence the show making fun of them.

  • oooh~ cross burning!

  • uh... I beg your pardon?

  • could you type i dunno in english maybe like a normal person using double i's and 3s for es doesnt make you cool it makes you look fuckin retarded

  • Hahahahaha...what?

  • I'm gonna attempt a translation here:

    "It's sad. How the fuck is this okay? Now if somebody made something like this yelling 'black power,' it would get deleted off of MySpace."

    Please speak ENGLISH in the future. Thank you.

  • Is that lewis black?

  • no. it's some pop singer from teh seventies. he is the only charactor in the musical who dosen't sing.

  • Brilliant!Amazing!Fantastic!We­ll Done!
