Eurovision Portugal - Papa Bendi

[ihaaoyt123]

i've found my new song to sing over christmas :D

[telo141]

I just pissed myself. That fantastic..his reaction to winning was classic!

[apollo741111]

@telo141 get yerself the video of tony ferrino mate, great music and comedy!

[gazzza166]

Sheer Genius from one of the great comic minds of all time.

[gentil79]

o "toma" e o bigode sao mesmo Portugueses... muito bem feito... em vez dos homens da luta, deveriam era fazer algo assim!

[itsonelouder1]

His reaction to winning is so damn good

[rprmedei]

And the ironic in all this is that Portugal has never won the ESC... :DD

[supersueca1]

Very funny and he is actually speaking portuguese (although with a terrible accent), which for us who understand him makes it even funnier! Basically he is asking for his clothes to be washed and ironed straight away, when will they be ready cause he needs them today! The celebrations are epic and the typical "manguito" is very portuguese, but unfortunatelly rarer nowadays. Just one remark: papa bendi isn´t portuguese, hardly any words end with an "i" in our language. Great work Coogan!!!

[akava77]

Wonder if that was really Terry Wogan on the voice over, or a really good impression

[MrEurocat]

@akava77 It was Wogan !!!

[migrabino]

Really really funny. There's one other thing that's quite funny, that Steve Coogan slammed Top Gear's people for mocking mexicans and now he also makes humour with stereotypes... even though it was really good humour, even a portuguese guy like me can see that.

[CarlosCMTF]

The typical portuguese "manguito": 1:04

:D

[perfectlovers]

It's funny, but one question. Portuguese is not espanish... it's very diferent.

[KaiserTota]

Caught the portuguese speaking english accent perfectly, though when he was speaking portuguese it was a bit hard to understand even for me, who is portuguese, but I guess it's "Quero que esta roupa, esta roupa seja, limpa passada a ferro, a ferro passada".

[paulmac38]

Tony Ferrino is José Mourinho!

[boomstick28]

Can somebody explain "irony" to rpimedei? Lol!

[itsonelouder1]

His reaction when he hears the result is priceless lol

[rprmedei]

I don't understand the sense of the movie. Can somebody explain me, please????...

[dobbyeyes120]

HAhaha que divertido =D

Tenemos que fazer coisas como él haha =))

Eu quero más de él :))

[oOninaOo]

omg

very funny ahahah

[luciremagazine]

Ferrino was IMO Coogan's most underrated character. I loved the two retro spoofs!

[shebangsthedrums89]

One of the funniest clips of all time!

[Vertex995]

Bendy Bendy!!!

[Andre2010]

We should give Coogan portuguese citizenship quick so we can finally have a real chance at winning the Eurovision contest XD

[Andre2010]

Eu podia jurar que é 1 imitação hilariante do fernando pereira (o imitador) nos anos 80, o visual é igualzinho.

[FrederickThePie]

If this was entered in Eurovision, it would probably actually win XD

[wldnemesis]

idiota

[MrLuke485]

that was the funnyest thing i have ever seen lol shit

[25ghr]

Spot on! there has been songs in Eurovision that have won it !! that are just as Bad as this, Brilliant Spoof

[marcoinengland]

sooo funny love it

[kentwomble]

The funniest thing is - if this was actually entered in Eurovision it would probably win!

[nacht98]

LOL I´m Portuguese and I just can´t stop laugh about this.

[jadvs73]

So do I. In terms of looks he just missed two clichés: the thick golden bracelet and the huge golden ring on the little finger (plus the oversized nail...lol).

At the time (and still nowadays) this was a common sight in concerts performed among portuguese communities gatherings abroad.

[XISatu]

Yes, very funny. He looks like Leo Sayer, who is english.

And why don´t you just give up speaking foreign languages ? It would be nice.

[malmaior]

it's the worst sounding portuguese i've ever heard. Hahaha. Hilarious :D

Great Steve Coogan

[zander469]

Hilarious. Love it! Im also looking for the interview he had (as Ferrino) with Peter Baynham, that was also about 12 years ago but impossible to find.

[DeReAnMe]

Zande469r; Check the special features on the Tony Ferrino disc from the new Steve Coogan box set.

[zidannyblanc]

got the tony ferrino vid and its brilliant! would love coogan to bring him back. agree with ikkleh woman on left is amazing!

[kmfw72]

The brunette on the right is cute!

[frankjlampard8]

Priceless

[ClivClav]

Some people actually think this is real! Brilliant! That's why a lot of people/idiots didn't get Tony Ferrino.

My favourite Steve Coogan Character. Such funny songs too! :-)

[varthanas]

Very well said mate!

[DirkSchooner]

He's not real?

[NixorX]

This is one of Steve Coogan's finest moments. Oh, what an amazing comedian he is.

[Pitz20]

OMG! I'm portuguese but this is way too funny! xD

I just can't stop laughing! Good work Tony Ferrino! You're my idol now! =D

[cumguzzlar]

That's a blast from the past, i remember this.....bit of a shock winner, i think estonia were favorites that year.

[JoyOfSocks]

Genius. I loved Toni Ferrino...only second to Alan Partridge. Big shame the character didn't quite make it big. I had the cd as well...loved it. It got nicked and is now deleted :-(

[ikkleh]

Woman on the left is fit!

[Rich7714]

Great stuff by Steve Coogan!

[hmaxo]

Horrible

[PedroZambujo]

I think it would adjust better to some turkish songs, but the moustache doesn't fool anyone: it's portuguese :')

[Atirpt]

Haha i'm portuguese and this was funny xD

[FatherWarhol]

This music is sublime high art!!

[cheef77]

I think Spain may have ripped off Papa Bendi for this year's Eurovision.

We're going fishing... fishing for girls!

[Neostore]

The Tony Ferino character was genius but not one of Coogands most successful creations. I think it was just too clever for some people.

[Aug1982]

I agree. I recall accidentally recording a ferrino show back in '97 when I was 15 and I found it hilarious. Seen all of his other characters and just recently youtubed ferrino and he beats all of them

[chookter1]

tano866, the eurovision song contest is a contest with songs, and is broadcast on television around europe.

[russaac]

ROFL!!! I'm proud to say I'm portuguese and I find this funny as hell!

It would have been perfect if he'd sung in portuguese instead of spanish...

[tano866]

some one please explain what is eurovision contest.

[18rah]

Most of Europe puts forward a song and then about twenty of these songs are put forward into the Eurovision Song Contest finals where all of Europe votes on the one they like best. Probably the highlight of my year. n.n Next year, Russia are hosting it.

[tano866]

Ohhh nice, well i live in puerto rico and don;t get the europe channels, i wish i did its very cool, ty for explaining.

[CyrusGuitar]

it seems that a lot of portuguese people are lacking a sense of humour. Maybe thats why all the best comedy comes out of the UK...

[emes45454545]

this is funny, right... but the american people never get it right... some think we talk brazillian portuguese... some think we speak spanish. Our language is portuguese. Portugal's portuguese

[starwitness01]

Americans don't even know what the Eurovision song contest is. This is Mr Steve Coogan from the UK and he is an absolutely brilliant comedian. Way ahead of his time here... Borat anyone?

[tano866]

what is eurovision can any one please explain to me? some type of contest in europe every year?

[andy143]

Well... in Portugal we sing in PORTUGUSE! Not in Spanish!

xD

[4pajarracos]

Papa Bendi chiki chiki

[andy143]

LOOL!

El chiki chiki si k ganara la eurovision!!

XD XD

[poland08]

What a load load bollocks

[Supermiranda78]

I am Portuguese and think this is funny!

[calaisbu]

Me too :D

[paulmac38]

sounds and looks portugese to me :-)

[jnshakmaster]

Top Notch!

[twold4this]

Top notch...thank you very much!

[gentil79]

I am from Portugal and i found Steve Coogan absolutely hilarious in this clip. fantastic the way he picked up 2 portuguese entries in the ESC from 1980 and 1982 and created this extremelly funny sketch. For some of the portuguse knobs in here: of course he doesn't sings portuguese in the song, but have you ever heard any one in portugal trying to do a perfect english impersonation? no.

[Tiwaking]

Thank you thank you thank you!

[krryptic]

I had been wanting to record this for years. Love it, love it, love it!

[krryptic]

I've never liked Steve Coogan, but this is the best! Love the dance routine.

[XanaOom]

This just proves how British people can be ignorant (surprisingly). The man does not look Portuguese nor is he speaking Portuguese.

[gentil79]

does notlook like Portuguese? put your glasses on! have a look at the 1980 portuguses entry of the Eurovision and have a look at the back singers.

[garyksousa]

It does not sound portuguese.....what year was this video created....

[gentil79]

i think this was in 1997. he does not sound very portuguse, but for every foreign, portuguese is much harder to learn and to impersonate than spanish or even the Brazillian accent

[garyksousa]

Is his name Coogan...Go Portugaul.....

[korky68]

Supperb,better than any euro entry

[Gaetulia]

Somewhat translate the lyrics!

[hmaxo]

OMG Such a stupid guy

[apaixonadajesc]

Who is this??

Isn't portugal...it's a big clown

[itsonelouder1]

coogan is a genius

[matrixamp]

Kem é este palhaço??? who is this clown?

[OddBob552]

What year was this? I'm trying to figure out which song they're spoofing. "Play-Back" maybe?

[gentil79]

this was recorded in 1997. they are trying to spoofing the lyrics from the 1980 entry and the choreograpy from 1982. see both "portugal 1980" and "portugal 1982" entries and pay attention to the lyrics, choreography and back singers. I am from Portugal and i think this Sketch is Hilarious

[Edam3000]

@gentil79 Nope; this was broadcast on the Beeb back in 1996 (along with 'other' Tony Ferrino related stuff) :)

[agassalho]

fuck in!

portugal4ever

[Svatopluk]

A comic genius!

[bendinelli]

grandissimi papa bendi...er mejo de er mejo

[frenchwannabe]

Man I have always loved this!

[AlexanderGreen2007]

Honestly - I've been looking for this clip for about 10 years! Thanks for putting it up, all hail Papa Bendi!!

[jrwoof]

LOL

[HBK619]

What a Fuck ?! Is this guy Portuguese... .|. ...at least we won !! hehehehehehehehe !
