Man Stroke Woman: Home and away

[sdbty]

Actually managed to recreate this on the night bus in London - it was the single greatest achievement of our lives that was never caught on video. Also Amanda Abbington is the greatest person.

[keltoid777]

they should have had the bus driver start singing and crash the bus

[annedrodgyness]

Cue the monkey in the fridge.

[McGrathpaul7]

I'm not ashamed to say I cried

[Karanime]

Dude, I love the black guy!

[ChristopherDone]

Great now it's stuck in my head.

[xxJessFactorxx]

Scott Mills and his mate Chris basically made this video what it is. ;]

[Froogleplex]

such a crap show, but a brilliant sketch. haha!

[xMissSkinx]

haaah i thought this was something to do with a man stroke women being on home and away :)

[InYourEmma]

this had hardly any views until Greg James featured it on Radio 1.. just sayin'

[emtabby]

@InYourEmma you mean scott mills!

[wenny94]

@emtabby that's the one! haha

[PassionateMistress]

Cool, I still know the lyrics though I haven't watched Home and Away in over 18 years! Didn't know they still have bus conductors in some parts of the UK O_o

Yeah, if everyone could sing this well I wouldn't mind at all if people burst into song on the bus ^_^

[wikidlover]

fantastic how they all know when to sing and they all know the lyrics just like that

[LatumWay]

Nick Frost isn't that a bad singer actually...

[MrCopperhead1861]

fuck yes!

[OperationSpider]

love it

[S2333]

The funny thing is this could actually happen in the UK. Just get a few people to start singing the tune to Home and Away or Neighbours.

[Rachiejane1]

Oh my God - I lLOVED Home and Away! Not anymore though - not as good now but years ago it was brilliant, Completely forgot about it til I saw this.

[bluegama500]

This joke isn't funny :/. Well at least not according to me.

[MisterTwoPiece]

@bluegama500 - maybe you should jump off something high then :)

[sandufilms]

Dang! Amanda Abbington has a REALLY good voice :D

[The1962driftingaway]

@sandufilms She started out as a dancer, so she probably got her start in musicals.

[sarahv748]

so random..... love it. i'd love to be on a bus when this happened.

xx

[bigtruckmx]

Nick got a great voice i love it

[benjaminprior]

true thats fucking random im from australia just thought it aired here

[gschjetne]

Used to watch home and away as a kid living in Norway.

[nannodg]

the original simphony is from UK no from australia...

[misy49]

soooo much better the the actual show, I never even noticed the theme before and now I hum it....wow, thats power.

The girls are so much better at singing then the boys, goes to show

[Muuuley]

goes to show... that.... what exactly...

[misy49]

@Muuuley I forget now, sorry. I think I cut myself off

[anthpage2]

oh my gaaawd this is so funny! unbelievable!!!

[alfiethemaster]

That was brilliant

[hallicks]

Absolute genius :D

[TemarynnTambourine]

they have home and away in england?

[mwwhahahahahaha]

live in ireland-been watching since i was 10, thats 11 years now!its huge all over the world

[river4ever]

Yeah, and Neighbours. They've been airing here for years.

[j12196]

haha nick frost is a legend :D

[oskar092]

im so trying that in real life

ok maybe not... it'd be so funny though

[FairyGodmoose]

Doing that for real would win so hard. XD

[theGAPkid]

this would be a perfect thing to do in one of those 'flash mob/impov group' situations.

[DustyDangerfield]

Nick Frost can sing man!

[ShivelMoKivel]

There is nothing he can't do. @_@

[ShivelMoKivel]

I've noticed that some British accents sound very American when singing.

[fetusjuice]

i know what you mean. It's like people lose their accents when singing except for sometimes a couple parts of the song.

[err058]

You're right! I haven't noticed that =).

[simonporteous]

That's odd 'cause the song they're singing is an Aussie TV show theme tune ...

[sproggdaddy]

y odd? thts wat makes it funny cos home and away is/was fairly popular in England.

[purpledino64]

This sounds better than the original

[krazybadger78]

Yah Thats weird. It reminds me of Arnold Pinada or whatever his name is. hes the current lead singer of Journey and hes also from the Philipense but when hes singing he sounds like an american

[jardidge]

not to sound gay or nothing. but i really wish people broke out singing like that more often in public.

[pgl0897]

LoL, ditto.

Really that is the premise on which this sketch works, because all things considered it's not actually that funny, but I defy anyone who has ever travelled on a London bus to watch this and not think "damn... I wish that happened on my journey to work".

I'd join in anyway.

[kaniblurous]

@jardidge seriously w/o the background instrumental it'd suck

[brownreclusespider]

@jardidge GAY

[amccaughtrie]

@jardidge

Gay

[Think4Yourselves]

@jardidge you're definitely gay bro

[cassiopeiatasara]

@jardidge You're bluffing.

[cassiopeiatasara]

@jardidge You're just living in the wrong society. Look up Papuan Highlander House Building video- People do just burst out singing y'kno'. It's just not acceptable in an uptight environment

[MissYummyMummy07]

@jardidge it would most certianly make the day more interesting.

[scrumpyjackflash]

@jardidge Why does that make you sound gay???????

[xXBboyiceXx]

the bus driver is on the second floor. Whose driving? O_O XD

[JamieKearsey]

I think he's a conductor. AKA the guy that checks your ticket.

[xXBboyiceXx]

OH LOL my bad

[JamieKearsey]

No problem it's an easy mistake to make because at first I thought that until I realised.

[PedanticAndWhimsical]

I love it when this happens.

It seems to happen alot to me :)

[TheGreatBritishAlex]

watch food court musicle by improveverywhere, i think ive got it on my favorites

[vortexguyz934]

omg i would love if this happened

[mattomlinson1]

It does work, waiting in line for a kebab shop in Yorkshire, however, everyone has to be drunk and we have to be singing about people from Lancaster or Germans.

[dergeier117]

If only that worked in real life.

[CKLS42]

Look up 'If life were a musical' and watch the videos by The Chaser.

V. funny.

[robinbanks999]

I did this with some friends in a queue for a kebab van in Bath. Some squaddies threatened to beat us up.

Great video though.

[strictlygal]

OMG I love this clip!

[makpappy]

I love this clip.

[CH4PP4Z]

I thought writing comedy would be easy, but after watching this it's hard to beat/top it.... what legends.

[gossieuk]

punchline unrequired

[nickfromni]

I was looking forward to a punchline of some sort...

[fanofhomeandaway]

This really made me laugh

[unclekevo]

The curly haired girl is actually really good

[Matthiby]

Best clip I've seen in age. Rewatched it for hours.

[Matthiby]

...hours is a bit hyperbolic. Why is it so damn funny?

[drunkirishscot]

why are you such an ass?

[bobtheduck]

I don't think it's funny, but it's one of the best clips from the show... I just like everyone in the bus breaking out in song.

[nino0057]

Nick Frost is actually a singer, according to Wikipedia at least.

[jAnEmArtin02]

are you sure?...

[nino0057]

Yes indeed.

[jAnEmArtin02]

and were is it?thanks for the reply though

[snowy1617]

this is so funny :)

[WorkingClassHero6474]

If only it was like this on the bus to work, that would brighten up my day !

[kensington25]

I work as an extra and background actor on the show and I love this version. What a genius of an idea. Brilliant!

[YESitsZOE]

LOL! they should do this with the current h&a characters it would be so funny :)

[ScullySayer]

I actually prefer this to the current H&A theme.

[butterflyeleven]

They all having amazing voices!!!

[CHamboga]

RFOLOLOLOLOLOL

[jessyc1]

I'd love it if that bus went down Tower Hill and took the roof off by a low hanging branch at the point they started singing... that'd be worth watching!

[masterspeed16]

its ashame i actualy tried to with my mate and everyone on the bus stared at us like we were retards

[cuzzbin]

im gonna try it now haha!!! u need about 5 people tho

[robinbanks999]

Clearly it was they who were retarded.

[jaberwocky12]

Also love how the guy is still checking someone's ticket at 1:04!

[jaberwocky12]

There's something about this song!! Will always love it.

[GoldenView88]

aaw thats really cheery and happy

if only every bus ride was like that or at least once in a while lol!!

[Jamesarcher89]

The girl who sang "Just to know" ... "You are there" actually sounded really like the real thing lol. At least it sounds that way to me :D

[LadyPessimist]

They should use this sketch as their theme tune XD

[ungentlegentleman]

Amanda Abbington has a great voice

[dummeh]

were we listening to the same thing?

she hits flat notes

[ungentlegentleman]

fair enough

[andygo27]

SUPERB!!!...I'd KILL to be part of something like this!!!!...Kind of reminds me of 1980's Kids from Fame "Hi fidelity" when the guys in the music insturmet shop spontaniusly combust into an 80's music fest!!!!... FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!

[MaizChan]

hahahahhahahaha.. oh.. no...

[kendrascat]

Elusivefish are you from Portsmouth? That happened on our last bus home from town more than once and the bus driver used to let everyone off at the depot to have a wee before carrying on.

[verdantabyss]

Damn, 1:02 to 1:04, she is so fucking hot.

[kittykat1111111111]

sure its a she?

[Boostinpulsar]

Hahahaha Im Aussie, i have no idea why youd wanna do that song! :P

[MaizChan]

Yeah... i agree

[brightonduder]

it shows our sense of humour as a nation. Self depricating whilst gently mocking you Aussies

[elusivefish21]

this is freaky! we used to do this on the last bus into town on nights out in college! home and away was always the best song to do. its like they heard about it or its somehow lodged in a collective bus consciousness. I cant stop watching it!

[elementa]

Amazing, I've always wanted to do this.

[kidaz]

best thing since chairs.

[anicetune]

Yeah, this happened when the other day when I was on the bus.

[Loziwig]

hahahaha

[shuds]

this made me laugh out loud - and I keep on laughing every time i re-watch it.

[Savillefish]

Me too mate

[PDIVAD]

I used to go out on a night in Grimsby when i was younger. Everyone had a sing song then (and that was going).

[jennjenni8]

ha ha can u imagine tryin 2 do that on a bus you'd get jumped!

[Deanocfc]

wish all bus journeys in london wer like that.

[ssbnick]

Thats so cool :D

[hippymaximan]

Once in Manchester we got a Bohemian Rhapsody going on the top of the night bus

[WestEndDream]

omg i wish that really does happen...then life would be like a musical!!!

[malmalthekiller]

Nick has quite a nice voice, actually.

[lizmov]

he does, i really couldnt tell, im tone deaf, nick adn simon should do a musical pardoy to continue on their movies, like their horror comedy, shaun of teh dead, and their action comedy Hot fuzz!

[LTJLover334]

what an idea that is, brilliant my friend!

[lizmov]

Thank you. Brilliance can only be recognized by the brilliant.

[jAnEmArtin02]

its the first fuckin time i heard nick singing..by the is this the last episode right?

[cruiseylee]

Makes me think even more that they shud play music on public transport lol!

[katie343]

Next time I go to London I'm gonna try this

[loop123]

This sketch is so heartwarming! My god, if I ever need to cheer anyone up, I'm showing them this

[Fanco15XXX]

Cool !

[BEClovesJENSON]

lol! That was halarious! London loves Home and Away! It reminds me of school trips when everyone sang in the bus!

[FrancescaLouiseM]

I love it....est laugh i have ahd in ages... I. love that show...and its great. I really want to do that on a bus..but I am a wimp. :D

[andywall101]

[masterspeed16]
