  • "D'you know what Lance, your really weird." :L

  • wow

  • That is brill me and dad laugh every time, classic!

  • the best harry enfield sketch ever!

  • This has been in my head since watching the Harry Enfield VHS like 10 years ago. for fucks sake.

  • I'm so gonna learn to sing like that now, go on x-factor, sing terribly just so i can go 'Yea, i am tone deaf but only in english though, not italian.' Then wow everyone with italian singing XD

  • Classic

  • 13 people are tone deaf in english

  • @appa2718 Well that may be so, but nearly 78% of statistics are actually made up.........

  • Brilliant stuff, a comedy classic.

    13 people have no sense of humour.

  • Pure class

  • Quality.

  • this stuff is gold.

  • Harry Enfield's look in this reminds me of Phil Collins.

  • running ding ding ding reminds me of a chant my dad does.

    reading ding ding ding

  • Not sure of the series, but it is on "Best Of Harry Enfield & Chums 2".

  • Does anyone know which series or DVD this is from?

  • Absolute classic

  • Paul Whitehouse is out of this world. The guy is a GENIUS !!!

  • Enfield and Whitehouse: genius.

  • A classic sketch showing the amazing ability of these two comedians.

    Paul Whitehouse gets his Marriage of Figaro perfect too !!!!

    Better than those talentless so called desperate wannabes that are out now !!!

  • @manangel10 It's actually Il Barbieri Seviglia. The barber's name is Figaro.

  • @oshadak Thank you. I stand corrected. many apologies.

  • All these years and I'd not forgotten that sketch. That's a sign of great writing!

  • 'No you're right Lance....you are tone deaf'. Absolutely brilliant. One of the funniest sketches ever made in the history of sketch shows. Enfield and Whitehouse (not to forget Kathy Burke too) are comedy geniuses who were at the top of their game when this was made. The looks on their faces towards the end of the sketch are priceless. This cracked me up the first time I saw it and it still makes me laugh now. Inspired.

  • Annie and Dave should have made a surprise visit to help the guys out.

  • YES!!! I love this sketch, i have been searching for this for so long!

  • this man is quite a performer indeed!

  • I miss the old Harry Enfield sketches. I know I'm going to get flamed, but I don't really like the new Harry Enfield sketches. (Ruddy Hell! It's Harry and Paul!) It just doesn't seem as funny and it ain't the same without Kathy. :(

  • No one comes even close to these two. The recent sketch shows, Little Britain and so on, are all crap.

  • @AICabal Even Mitchell and Webb?

  • @greendaymike You do know they don't write their stuff don't you and when they tried it was shit.

  • @DandeB88 OK mate. I still think they're good.

  • @DandeB88 They do write their sketch show, but not peep show.

  • @yesnt I know! that's what I said! Don't make me have to paste what I wrote in here lad.

  • I always find myself saying this at random.

  • whats that italian song called?

  • Figaro - Pavarotti

  • The best sketch they ever did. Brilliant. IMHO

  • This quality of humour defined the era...!

  • I thought this sketch was funny at first, but when Paul did the Barber of Seville, he turned it from a funny sketch into an awe-inspiring one.

    They don't make them like they used to these days...

  • its no coincidence that johnny depp has been quoted as saying paul whitehouse is the best actor hes seen.

  • Quality always makes me laugh. Bing Bang bong.

  • wow whitehouse has a nice voice

  • brilliant sketch one ov his best nice 1

  • i luv it!!

    it's brilliant :)

  • Ok put it all together ?

    Thank you Harry for the last 2minutes and 27 seconds of laughter!

  • same here man, its fucking genius

  • fuckin gr8 xD

  • lance...you're really weird lmao

  • fukin legendery :P:P:P:P:P:P=P=P=P=P

  • no else has ever remembered this and think im insane when i copy it haha

  • But it was funny 15 years or so ago when it was on. Why don't you hit us with some classic Danish comedy?.....

  • I would, but you wouldn't understand it since we danes have a pretty special kind of humor

  • what absent?

  • huh?

  • yeah an absent sense of humor is a pretty special

  • Lol at the danish git.

  • Well said abestone101

  • the best sketch ever, perfection

  • Top telly! Love it.

  • Watchin Harry Enfield on Thaa Telly Now!

    Well Good Show!

    =]

  • this is taking over the benalamdena costa thanks to us!! we are currently a colony of about 30 ppl that sing this NON STOP lmao its awesome!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • if they did that in one take id be amazed

  • have to have another look so funny

  • 1:44 jeez paul whitehouse can bloody sing!

  • only in english not in italian!!....lmao

  • classic

  • Also, when you think about it, it's even harder to sing poorly and make it sound realistic, when you CAN actually sing. Which is done very well by Paul at the beginning.

  • Damn, they both must be quite musically skilled to recognise and perform those notes. I would never have thought that from previous sketches and their appearance. That is awesome, especially the ending before he does his opera version.

  • i nearly wet my self when i first watched this on tv

  • First aria of Rossini's Marriage of Figaro, "E largo factotum", if I'm not mistaken.

  • OMG!!! =D

  • brilliant, bong bong bong girrllll

    good times

  • Haha my favourite Harry Enfield Chums sketch

  • ive never forgotten this sketch since it was first shown - yoooouuu...bing bang bong...yoooouuu...bing bang bong

  • When he sings italian, that is a very good learned skill.

    Actually, it's an ability, an amazing ability of the highest order, well done Paul :)

  • Interesting fact: Paul Whitehouse's mum was an opera singer.

  • lmao

    paul whitehouse for the win

  • you know what lance, your really weird
