What a GREAT idea for a real show. Could teach the younger people now how to search their silly brains for words other than the obvious dirty ones. They would actually have to LEARN more words before the show - anyone remember learning words at school? I do.
@laosandburma But it would seem that in order to win, you would have to have a very extensive knowledge of what is and can be construed as dirty, including being aware of anagrams that can be dirty. :)
@1stCainite We must then co-author a guide to smut and how to avoid the odd "slip of the tongue" Oh dear I see this game would be HARD to play. But what a brilliant bit of comedy from these two.
I do remember one time where my teacher was trying to teach me a word that was safe, or a safe that was worded, oh I can never remember. Anyways, right after that the memory blacks out and picks up with me bedded upon some leaves in a forest.
@jackamatyus i am actually glad you pointed out how stupid i am because i have heard the rase word used before but never written and i always found it weird how people said they raise something to the ground xD
"... one of the participants, takes a part of the other paticipants person, into the place where they might more commonly keep... bubblegum, say"!!!! Absolutely CLASSIC line!!!! Absolutely brilliant!!! I suppose you yanks won't have seen Dr House like this.
Just been listening to Stephen Fry's wonderful Autobiography, he talks veryfondly of Hugh Laurie and sketches like this make you see why. They're both wonderful, just a shame to see Hugh on the other side of the pond :(
Well, Hugh's enormous talent is the reason why he's such a hit in "House, M.D." America really NEEDS an actor like that. But a high number of such artists are in England, and it IS, as you so rightly call it, a shame to think that America has more power in terms of the ideas that its TV programmes, music, and such like are able to instil on international audiences, when the truly brilliant and intellectually interesting actors, musicians, etc., are, in their majority, English.
@koektoful He is affecting a Lancastrian accent, an English dialect of the North West region. He may also be immitating the Lancastrian game show presenter Jim Bowen, who was well known for his strong Lancastrian accent when presenting the popular British game show Bullseye.
@Jonnyx2376 Could I amend that? As an American in love with British culture I'd like to raise his status to 'universal treasure'. I'm sure misters Eccelston, Tennant, Smith, Baker, et. al would agree.
A Perfect sketch - I've lived with this for about 15 years and it is still fantastic. Despite the ridiculous premise of the game, they get it so right. I'd love to see another series of this. It's up there with Python, Pete & Dud. It is also why I called my newborn daughter "Mr. Dalliard" with "Mr." being her christian name of course
Laurie on the left slightly looks and sounds exactly like Moss! And moss was also on a gameshow(-ish) on the show IT Crowd. Not only that, they're both UK shows. Coincidence?
