French and Saunders History of Dance

[iamthinandgorgeous]

jen looks so cluless

[Midori165]

Missed the interpretive dance one

[RabbitHeart12]

ohhhhhhhhh French & Saunders......just Hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!

[perciful1]

the 20's flapper dance is the charlston

[BeaglesHP]

@Xtinadisciple they did a lot of sketches together in their own show (titled French And Saunders) hope it helps :)

[MrJak925]

at 1:31 I actually think those looks suit them :P

[XTINASDISCIPLE]

two of my fave comedians, they need to do somthin together, even if it's just a xmas special !

[truediva18]

I wish the 80's dance with strobe lights was in there

[lilemi98]

not one of there best sketches but good

[wolfmanagr]

The 20s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and then whaaa?! CELTIC JIG? HAHA!

[truediva18]

I should have figured out the hippie song. They sing it in Spiceworld!!

[truediva18]

I love Dawn's outfits for these sketches!

[charliecooper24h]

love it! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahaha

[Lucyderidder]

How do they do this!

Everytime i see one of these video i lauch my ass of !

Gotta love theme !

[truediva18]

Songs I got so far:

Shakin' All Over-Led Zeppelin

Shout- Lulu

I'm The Leader of the Gang(I Am)-Gary Glitter

I am missing the Irish song at the end and the 20's flapper song at the start.

[wmg93]

@truediva18 : scroll to the top of the comments, and you'll find the answers!

[charissecoal]

@truediva18 "Shakin All Over" by Johnny Kidd & The Pirates, not led zeppelin :)

[Sassyscottishlassy]

@Madonna123123LG Im The Leader Of The Gang-Gary Glitter

[fuhoney]

Would love to see the continuation with Disco, Punk Rock, New Wave, House Music...

[MsRustySpoon]

my friend and i danced like this today on Danube hahahahhha

[Zanite]

that irish one is so creepy.

[shmuli9]

@Zanite I actually knew an Irish girl who did the EXACT same thing that Jennifer did in a talent show (running off the stage), though before she did she frantically hissed to someone offstage "but I don't know any more!" (And yes, she was named 'Sheila', had red hair and freckles, and wore a green velvet dress.)

[danzelled1]

the 16 people that disliked this....God doesnt love you

[silvershields]

love the irish dancing at the end

[HSMiyamoto]

For the late 60s, it would have been extra funny if they danced to "Wheel's on Fire."

[mumsdrunk]

0:59 point and Dawn's littlee jump- cracks me up every time!

[effusique]

16 people are Americans with no taste.

[Ruhejungehaut]

@effusique I'm in America and these women are two of my favriote comedians

[boxykimbolton]

So funny in hesterics

[victorianvampstudios]

The sad part about this is how damned accurate it is. :3

[Xenagabri]

the dance from the 70s LOL the way jennifer walks off in those shoes..Epic!

[kirstyasher2]

i love all the first two songs :D

[ell3en]

Cor, French looks just adorable :)

[cujpeter]

Come on, come on, come on, come on. Lol hilarious!!

[MarshalHopalop]

What is the Irish-sounding song at the final part?

[StarryCastastrophe]

Better than Evolution of Dance by far.

[greenyeyes77]

They are both hilarious!!!!!

[MsLollipop30]

Lol, I love Jennifer's heels and how she walks in them on the hippy one.

[singasongful1]

Oddly enough, Dawn French isn't a terrible dancer.

Oh, and EDDIE!

[singasongful1]

Eddie!!

[Alzthegr8]

Dawn French makes an awesome hippie

[kayllo15]

I see london i see france i see jennifer saunders underpants!! haha at 2:04

[Boeddha71]

Absolutely hilarious!

[2ndhandcondom4sale]

bahahahaha i love how jen jumps into the dance at 1:33 ! :D

[TheBlackndwhitepictu]

1:28 lol

[TheMissBou]

I think that Jen and Dawn are not wearing any underwear during the Irish dance !

[MOGGA1945]

lol ! Wow I feel honored they included Irish dance ! :D

[maudibjr]

Is Jen not wearing any underwear at 3:28

[MateoJFR]

I think she might have really hurt her knee on that one because it didn't look intentional. What supports my idea is that for some reason she got so surprised that she lifted up her skirt. I love those two, they've always been able to make me laugh and their skits are timeless (most of them are)

[helenethorup]

Everything they do is intentonal. Jen is the clumsy one, she HAD to fall, ske always does... Ever seen AbFab? She falls or slither or stumble or somthing in every episode.

[amandaevoy]

Haha! Jennifer's gesturing to the no fly zone!

[jprp83]

It's missing the best part with the contemporary dance lol

[KidsWithGuns1992]

Hahahaha I love the hippie sort of dance.

[firstdutch]

simply the best !! 

[W0WDungeons]

I love it when saundes falls over

[parapluierevel]

Dawn in the jeans is freaking hot. And she's the superior dancer.

[krackhead80s]

i really want a hemp jacket like that

[georgia00ful]

ahaha

[kayllo15]

wats the song thats playing when they are dancing on the 70's part

[Lemming2002]

@kayllo15 Leader of the Gang by Gary Glitter

[kayllo15]

@Lemming2002 yup i know that now. i listen to it all the time

[kayllo15]

ahaha i see london i see france, i see jennifer's underpants!! lol its on 2:06 shen she gets up.

[kayllo15]

@firstdutch hahaha i was thinking the same thing! but u can totally c them. they look like white undies with blue flowers on them. :D i have the same kind!

[kayllo15]

haha the dance from the 70s was the funniest one. jennifer was hilarious

[dasmysteryman12]

Hilarious!!!! I wish the "Evolution of Dace" video was like this....

[firstdutch]

yes yes  :-))

[MrVoyeurdave]

I love these two..my favorite dance sketch though is Dawn as Cyd Charisse in the Band Wagon chase the girl sequence, in the bar with the gangsters...I've never seen it on youtube...

[MVKUtrecht]

She can sing. I would witness to that

[aveuch]

What dance are they dancing during the 70's! It looks like Jennifer is having a seizure!!!

[rockchick80s]

Bloody Hillarious - the part at 1.31 - nearly fell over laughing Ha Ha

[Lived29]

hahahahaha I LOVE THEM AbFab are better but this is AMAZING I just pied...:-)

[suckerupper]

haha yes and her falling stops it xD

[Gissedk]

love it when jennifer "jump" starts the third dance.... lol.

[firstdutch]

megalol :-))

[FashionSmeg]

I love the 3rd dance and the hippy dance.

I've notcied that, Dawn is actually more convincing in these.

[princessgabz95]

I love it wen she falls :p

[HighHeelWoman1975]

Amazing! Straight to my favs!

[firstdutch]

@HighHeelWoman1975 ist so du hast recht ..

streng dein kopf an und du verstehst sogar deutsch.. german language english  ass is from germany .muhahahhhahahha if you will ore not .. it is german .. :-)

[HighHeelWoman1975]

@firstdutch Sorry, I didn't quite get what you ment, but it seemed to be hilarious anyway... ;o)

[oldolds53]

Thank you so much for a good laugh.

You need that sometimes in these worried times.

[nealphobe]

My fave. Please come back to television, ladies!

[stokie683]

I agree!

[labelfree904]

what are the first two songs, the 20's and 50's skit? i really want to know

[Wancheseblondie]

the fist from the 20's is "the charleston".

[MilwaukeeMeg]

labelfree904, the second song is "Shakin' All Over" by Johnny Kidd & the Pirates... and it;s from 60's, for all I know.

[sunlightguy75]

Not Scottish, IRISH!!! Arms down!!!! *lol*

[janajswe]

@sunlightguy75 Hi, I am not British, Could you tell me why it needs to be with arms down ? :-D I am mostly interested. Thanks

[sunlightguy75]

@janajswe Hi, I am also not British... but the joke in that scene is that in Scottish dance you raise your arms while in Irish dance you keep them down... so when Jen starts to wave her arms Dawn is shocked because they are supposed to dance Irish style ^^

[janajswe]

@sunlightguy75 Aaaaa, haha Thanks a lot.

[Jessieboo1991]

Where's the best one? When the lights go out and they're wearing sunglasses! xD

[DirkjeA]

Oh boy, this made me sitting behind my pc laughing so loud my dog barked with me..... it is just so hillarious, they are great.

[Sarcy93123]

Could anyone tell me what series the first dance (the charleston one) is from?

[AbFabFan09]

christmas special 1988 I think

[missgraceoc]

are they best friends

[bombbasticluva]

Yes. BFF, soul mates, the lot.

[WoPUn]

It's scary how much Jen looks like Patsy in the 60's dance. ._.

[SuperClaire1981]

I love everything about this sketch!!! It is really funny.

[obtyropil]

I want to see them do flamenco :)

[vernon1979s]

DOES anyboby pLz KNOW

[kag427]

It's Shakin' All Over, I think it's version by The Guess Who.

[vernon1979s]

[DirkjeA]

Yes, this is The Guess Who, and the original version if from Vince Taylor I think.

[unflavoured]
