  • 170 women didn't know their limits

  • I'm offensive and I find this woman.

  • Comment removed

  • Paul Whitehouse nails it in this one. His facial expressions are so funny and perfect!

  • i'm a woman and i'm delighted to say we're studying these hilarious videos in english language a.s. class!! making our lessons much brighter with more lols AND writing essays on them with a grade at the end.

  • @gasjam you are more than one woman? Whoa.

  • lol sexism sucks

  • This is comedy, nothing else.

    Nobody should be moaning about this, ESPECIALLY not women considering they have "Loose women", a show which does nothing but slag men off and make women out to be somehow superior. Just stop moaning and see the funny side, Jeezus! :|

  • The ultimate irony of this classic sketch is that it's not quite as ironic as it thinks it is.

  • Very funny and sadly so true how men feel threatened.

  • Way funny!!! :-D

  • Brilliant

  • this is the funniest shit i see in a while.

  • WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA god that is so true!

  • YES..... set upon like "progressives," upon Sarah Palin..... only Sarah won't sit down and shut up. SARAH, KNOW YOUR PLACE!!! (and so, she does.... Heh, Heh!!!)

    Great sketch..... THanks, Luke!

  • i think Carla Mendonca is wonderful!!!

  • The only thing funnier than this comedy sketch is the number of people who can't grasp that it's just a comedy sketch.

  • This IS appalling that many men still do it with some women who support them.

  • Funny to a degree. This IS appalling and many men still do it with some women who support this behavior.

  • @airforcemax

    yep funny to a degree, the nth degree!

  • Why isn't this required in our curriculum?

  • lol

  • Good, then we're all agleed.

  • this added laugh makes me mad, why they do this ffs, it always ruins half of show for me

  • It is truly unbelievable that people take this as real. Hear the laughter in the background? That's people laughing at the comedy sketch which is lampooning ridiculous sexist stereotypes. If you haven't got the brains to work even that much out that would explain why you haven't got the brains to not comment and embarrass yourself lol

  • Oh Harry Enfield, how we love thee.

  • Well damn, maybe I shouldn't have started college this year. xD

  • Lmfao I find it unbelievable that some people on here think this is real!!! It's British fucking humour from a comedy sketch show... Have you heard of the word comedy?

  • Bravo!!!!

    

  • I'm a women - this is so funny

  • Don't worry women of youtube, this video is mere satire and not actually insulting you. I know how your feeble woman minds have trouble telling the difference between truth and fiction.

  • @UsernameCosplayer more insults on women-- is this suppose to be a joke, also--

  • @UsernameCosplayer But Sherlock Holmes is real, and Hogwarts. PLEASE TELL ME HOGWARTS IS REAL!!!!

  • @veraduerga This is taking the piss out of the way women were viewed in like the 1930's, not now. Jesus, some people need to get a sense of humour!

  • Wonderful satire of sexism. Just wonderful.

  • @veraduerga It's men like that who are being made fun of in this video. I know there are always people who cannot understand the concept of satire and take it literally, but in this case it's pretty obvious what the intention of the writers are.

  • @veraduerga It is a joke!!!!!

  • @veraduerga And what are your thoughts on the way so many of today’s adverts depict men as buffoonish idiots who are constantly being proved dumb by women and even ridiculed by their own children? These aren’t even satire. I expect you’re so wrapped up in your own gender you’ve never even noticed let alone objected to them.

  • @0019808 all of what you describe is unacceptable to me-- I hardly watch TV, so don't see the ads you refer to-- making fun of any gender and depicting them as dumb is terrible. I grew up hearing my Dad put down my mother regularly and calling her "stupid"-- it's left a painful scar--

  • @veraduerga i think u should just get over it and let it go... thats just the way it is today! let ppl talk what they want! i for one have always been pretty buff, so anyone thinks im dumb, cant do nothing about it.... just play low and win high...

  • @veraduerga Fuck me women are too emotional. Get a sense of humour.......oh wait you're a woman, you only laugh when sexism is aimed at men, am i right? It's like the andy grey story, he made one sexist joke and women couldn't see the funny side. You're just proving how pathetic women are today.

  • @veraduerga Woah there sista, it's COMEDY. Funny. Get it? Well now you've gone and made people think women are too stupid to recognize comedy. Thanks a lot.

  • 159 women have have been watching.

  • BEAT THEM FELLAZ!!!

    I MEAN NOW!

  • it is hillarious

    funny tho is that what that woman said is just not that funny as i know women that REALY say stupid and embarassing things in such a situation.

  • Classic

  • Harry Enfield - most commendable!

    See how he uses the approach of humour and tomfoolery to make a serious point about the danger of the fair sex overreaching themselves.

    And what with the misguided "women's liberation" hoo-hah of our own age, this warning is more salutary now than ever. Rest assured I will be seeing to it that the lady I am currently stepping out with attends to this cautionary tale!

  • venemous harridans with half baked opinions, chunky desperados with larcenous intent by god what is the world coming to?

  • Looks like this has flushed out a venomous harridan or two.

    A good rogering will fix them up.

  • I watched this at school in HSIE because we were learning about women having equal pay But this fucking thing has nothing to do with it but it is still really funny

  • 155 women didn't know their limits

  • As a well-educated and well-humored woman, I couldn't stop laughing the first time I saw this - hilarious! I love Harry Enfield, and have for years thought he is a comic genius of the rarest variety. I also love small kittens.

  • @Canadian Queer , What the fuck ??? A lot of humour is based on old fashioned views or attitudes , that`s how we progress as a race. We take the piss out of old or outdated mindsets and generate our own.You are a satire of 80`s feminism you twat lol

  • haha! …overeducation leads to ugliness, premature aging and beard growth

  • This is very funny! Canada Queer - get over yourself!

  • BANTER! :')

  • @JiveTalkinJack "Women who do not laugh at this both take themselves far too seriously and have not the intelligence to understand and appreciate good humor"

    You're seriously missing the point. This is taking the piss out of sexist men from 1930s England and their daft ideas rather than the women.

    Your comment about women who don't laugh at this would probably go down well with Mr Cholmondley- Warner and makes you one of those silly sexist men.

  • Comment removed

  • Im sorry im a girl , this is obviously a joke. This is very funny! Everyone has stereotypes in the world. Sometimes you just have to laugh at a few of them

  • @kita631 its true. being a girl myself i did indeed laugh. when it came to the education over-load, I laughed and thought, hmm most think that about men these days. Funny how times change, and clearly this is just a joke. And I can say that it is in fact funny.

  • I realize that whenever a girl doesn't find sexist jokes/commentary funny, she's told that she "doesn't have a sense of humor" or "takes herself too seriously". But there really isn't anything funny about a skit that shows a woman being reprimanded for being too intelligent. Grabbing at all the worst stereotypes about women and spitting them back out word for word is a lazy and unfunny attempt at a comedy skit.

  • @CanadianQueer Agreed.

  • @CanadianQueer It's quite obvious, from their respective answers in respect of the Gold Standard, that the men (and not the women) are the target of the satire. It is their prehistoric views, and those of society, which are meant to be laughable. You may not find the sketch funny, but it is plainly portraying sexism as appalling ignorance and it is frankly bizarre to read the 'joke' any other way.

  • @CanadianQueer Shall I attempt to explain satire to that slow Canadian mind of yours? The thing about good satire is that it is often misunderstood due to its use of irony and sarcasm. People who do not comprehend the satire won't find it funny and will either think it is in poor taste or will see no problem with it, just depends on whether they agree or disagree with what is being ridiculed. Basically, if you don't find this funny and either agree with it or are offended by it, you're and idiot

  • @CanadianQueer "Look at how blatantly sexiest people were back then! Isn't it funny?" Yes, it is. Showing up people for their blatant prejudices and laughing at their completely non-sensical viewpoints is great humour in my opinion. A great sketch, wonderfullly scripted and acted.

  • Women who do not laugh at this both take themselves far too seriously and have not the intelligence to understand and appreciate good humor.

  • That "wild & dangerous opinion" was actually the right answer !!!

  • @Childofthemoon1969 Not necessarily. The gold standard has it's merits.

  • Dare I laugh? xxxx

  • ahh beautiful satirist Mr. Enfield he is

  • 151 women made the mistake of going to university.

  • @iwtmltyb oh for fucks sake don't pollute the harry enfield videos too!!! youtube posters, know your limits!

  • @franciman2 yeahhh i found you mr wright...the internet truly is a small place

  • THIS IS ALL TRUE

  • This show is pretty funny.

  • KNOW YOUR LIMITS!

  • What half-baked drivel!

  • Laugh track took away from it, otherwise it is a class act of comedy.

  • Comment removed

  • classic

  • "but oh dear, whats this...one of the women is going too embarrss us all"

  • This would have been much better without a laugh track.

  • I don't know why people were laughing. It was all the cold stone truth.

  • @dalevans1 Yeah, the woman had a sane idea and the men shot her down without even considering it.

  • 149 women are venomous harridans

  • Nancy Pelosi obviously didn't watch this video

  • I know this is supposed to be an ironic joke, but when does an ironic joke turn into a thruthful joke.

  • @ThatOpinionater Hey! Know your limit!

  • @tjyff Hey! I don't have one.... BEUASE I AM EFFING AMAZING!

    No, in all seriousness, I know my limits... about a bottle of vodka then I'm out.

  • Yes with the proper level of liberal education any one can achieve a level of stupidity few can surpass, Male stereotypes of stupidity eat your heart out there's a new standard for stupidity in town those of the liberal arts and dumb will never be the same. We must now all prove willfully ignorant if we are to compete with the rising standards for incompetence. Yipe! No more morons or half wits with PC we can all be complete idiots.

  • lol kittens.

  • What the fuck are you on about, can't you cretins just enjoy the sketch for what it is! Comedy. What the fuck have Muslims got to do with it.

  • @kazlennon This is YouTube, where every video is sure to remind someone somewhere to complain about THOSE GOL DURN IMMIGRANTS.

  • nowadays women think they are as clever as men....these informatials show the TRUTH

  • 145 people suffer from ugliness, premature aging and beard growth.

  • A billion Muslim men? Really? Are saying that nearly one sixth of the worlds population are Muslim men? Thats quite an alarming statistic...

  • @Samthepianoman36 "a billion muslim men" is obviously just a turn of phrase, and not a literal statistic he was trying to reference.

  • @mphello it's ignorant and xenophobic comments like this which are even more sad

  • @AZeh90 Yeah, riiight.

  • @mphello soory but why it's a billion muslim men that are not being offended by this video WHY DI YOU GUYS choose muslim people muslim men are not all like this i showed this video to a lot of men muslim and they sad that it is unfear so sorry i dont agrea whit the first sentence :(

  • the good ol' days when you could get a sandwich at the snap of your fingers

  • my teacher showed this to my class. HILARIOUS :D

  • classic!

  • Women - know your limits.

  • Looks like 140 women don't know their limits....

  • @syed4832 LMAO, you wonderful smart ass you.

  • Comment removed

  • "overeducation leads to ugliness, premature aging and beardgrowth"!!wtf

    that MvsF info absorption illustration just cracked me up..but yeah i'm a girl and some close friends say that I comment too much..oh well..and I love kittens))

  • heres one to rile up the fairer sex

  • Wait - I got that backwards in the other comment I left here.

    Government SHOULD return to the gold standard. The men ARE right in this instance! Oh well. No biggie!

  • PMSL! D'oh! What a dick head!! Obviously spelling isn't my strong point! Hahahaha!

    Thanks tenwhoweretaken! "satire" is of course the correct word! I made myself laugh at least! :-P

  • funny.... and very true too.

  • This is even funnier when you know she's completely right about the Gold Standard XD

  • @username666ization ROFL! ROFL!  I couldn't have said it better!

    I'm forwarding this to Max Keiser!

  • HAHAHAHAH XD so true collage leads to beard growth lmao.

  • Brilliant and hilarious! How the heck could someone take offence at such obvious satyr?? Women, grow a sense of humour! (for those that were offended) I am a woman and I went to university, plus I look like one of the mental asylum women :-D

  • @abi7627 Totally right. I mean, I love Greek mythology. Satyrs may be a bit misogynistic but that's just how it was back then!

  • @TenWhoWereTaken hahahahaha! What a plonker I am!?! :-D Sense of humour makes up for my beard growth!

  • this deserves every one of those views

  • brilliant!!

  • Isnt it the other way Round? :L

  • The auto captions don't make sense - please add real captions. Thanks!

  • Women know you're limits - even you can't make your men have wise, well thought out opinions on things that matter.

  • I know this is presented as a joke, but it would behoove women to act this way.

  • @mbucari1

    It's "behove".

    You, my good sir, are oligophrenic.

  • @anonUK

    Comments on spelling, the rebuttal of a weak mind. By the way, behove is the British spelling that you would be familiar with, behoove is American. Feel free to reference Merriam-Webster to confirm your error.

  • Many men does it take to clean the toilet ?, - None cause its a womans Job.

  • BAHHAHAHAHAHAH

  • We watched this in English. I thought it was hilarious. Everyone was staring at me cuz I nearly fell out of my chair laughing. Sadly, I was the only girl laughing. And very hard.

  • @xIwillNotBeSilenced we watched it in history. and i was the only one laughing. cause no one in my class had any sense of humour. but it really is so, so funny!

  • @xIwillNotBeSilenced - I am glad you realise your limits. :-) hehe.

  • @xIwillNotBeSilenced See woman, you didn't know your limits.

  • @xIwillNotBeSilenced You were therefore the only woman who actually understood it; we are obviously the exception to this rule!

  • @xIwillNotBeSilenced No you wasn't I thought this was funny too

    and Im a girl

  • Women should shut up when they should be listening.

  • @SteelTendons AMEN

  • @SteelTendons Oh yes?  Where do you live?

  • @kenavo2103 1947

  • @comanchio1976 ah ah! well and I pretty close!

  • Frigging HILARIOUS.

  • Ahh the good old days

  • One drunk male will insult the other drunk male and he will respond with a fist/weapon. Women, do you really want males to treat you exactly the same?

  • Ohhhhhhhh ..... duuuuuuuhhhhhh ..... sweet stupid helpless me.

  • In light of the current economic crisis, the woman advocating coming off the Gold Standard was plainly a dumb bitch.

  • @whitekuduone

    That is exactly what I was thinking.

  • Comment removed

  • when he said beard growth, i fell off my bed..laughing ofcourse

  • Yep, women are equal now and have the same rules and don't get special treatment. or we can all live in the real world. Take from that what you want.

  • Ohhh heck! To those of you who think that Britain is or was actually like this... nope. British through and through here ... and can tell you that this clip has been taken from a British Television Comedy series. It's a sketch, just a comedy sketch, and all it's done is to put some of those old fashioned values under a microscope and enlarge upon them - make them bigger and brasher, - in order to make people laugh. It's not serious folks. It's a comedy sketch! Totally just for laughs!!

  • @Guineepoohs not trueeee :) My life is just like that

  • At 1.33, you can see my mum in the middle. I'm so proud of her and her brief acting career!!

  • No one should really be offended by this, it's just gently ridiculing the social mores of Britain in the 1930s and doing it in the style of the old BBC news reels. This was a patriarchal age when women were viewed as being mere supports for their husbands. Check out the other clips in the series such as "L is for Labour, L is for Lice" which mocks attitudes towards the working class in Britain. As well as parodying the chauvanism of the time, these clips also highlight the old class structure.

  • @steviekan210 If people DO get offended by this and don't know it's a joke then they don't really deserve to watch any of the other videos in my opinion...!

  • "look at these venomous harridans"

  • Superb video.

    Contrary to common belief, this clip actually makes fun of the feminists, by satirising their misconceptions about men.

    Most people just don't get the point of this video.

    Classic. LOL!!

  • Excellent, I loved this show. Thanks for uploading.

  • @klamath2048 that film was not made in the 50s it was made around 1988! And it was a comedy sketch made to make fun of how the women had less rights in previous history of every country. I'm not some guy who will get pissed of around a single joke about there country all the time (in fact us Brits are known to be always taking the piss about our selves!) just so you know.

  • This is good for a laugh.......but far from funny!

  • @MariaStellaNash That doesn't even make sense!

  • @voodoodanny Once you come up to the female standards and capabilities you will be able to make sense of it. For the moment, don't try and multi task like breath and think. It would be better if you just breathed and leave the thinking to women

  • @MariaStellaNash Haha, do your research on men's and women's achievements throughout the history of MANkind and the huMAN race and then come back with your silly lady chatter, K? ;)

  • Hilarious and has a point - it's scary that Britain 50 years ago was like the Taliban, with regards to attitudes ot women
