There is no laughter track on this, the clips are shown to a live studio audience and their reaction is recorded. Unlike intentionally inserting laughter.
Ya See! THAT'S funny! If this was a SNL sketch it would be at least 3 times the length, serving up umpteen variations of the same gag. The Brits know how to make a comedic point and move on. The Americans get an idea for a sketch, and milk it and milk it and milk it and milk it and milk it and milk it. (There...that should bring us up to commercial).
If you don't beleive me, spend a while watching SNL, Mad TV (shudder!!) and you'll see what I mean.
@TimmyP1955 yes there is. it's 'dry' humor. that's at least more british than american. and that's exactly what monty python is, and such. dry humor. you're just wrong.
@TimmyP1955 AND. this video has a british voice over, and is probably british made. another, small piece of evidence, that this is british humor. you're just wrong.
An unsuspecting herd of Jockey being stalked by the artist formerly known as Prince; that's quite funny. It sort of reminds me of the skits Dave Allen used to do.
This is in reference to Prince's song Little Red Corvette. The verse, "I felt a little ill when I saw all the pictures of the jockeys that were there before me". Fucking hilarious!
Prince should go after the jockeys clothes!!take the jockeys silks away (for his elaborate costume) then leave him facing explusion from his herd (as they no longer recognise him,) to freeze to death wandering the tundra.
to be fair its a plethora of writers and contributors including, tate, pegg and mitchell, and its a little sad you have to differentiate between countries 'sense of humour'
Being a MAJOR Prince fan, I nearly killed myself laughing so hard! This is simply the best Prince sketch ever! So Sexy Motherfucking weird!

A shame there were only two series of Big Train. Nearly as big a tragedy as there only being one series of The Peter Serafinowicz Show.

The Prince is primarily an instinctual creature. You're thinking of a more highly functioning and strategic predator like the Common Garfunkel.
