Crystal maze spoof

[littlesmew]

The legend that is Richard O'Brien we salute you. How he managed to tolerate the half-wits they dredged up each week is beyond me. He'd be there gently mocking or playing his harmonica while some big-haired mortgage advisor or accountant got all flustered over the simplest of challenges. Classic TV.

[keith23uk]

I remember seeing this back in the day I thought it was great how at times some contestants were really dumb and make you shout at your TV. Watching all the episodes again on challenge at 6pm Thanks for coming back to freeview Challenge!

[johnyjonyjohnjon]

This was from the Mary Whitehouse Experience, great show!

[MissRandomIsRandom]

"I wrote a successful West End musical. I don't think Andrew Lloyd Webber had to put up with this crap!" lmao!

[TheReddwarff100]

Qualit Tea

[MyAdam91]

making a cup of tea game lo,

[joetri10]

xD hugh dennis ftw ;D

[witchywoman2008]

Crystal Maze is a legend! I watched it constantly as a kid. ANd this is BRILLIANT! It's just like it! haha

[brhodes0]

Punt and Dennis - about as funny as a 4am phone call. Hugh Dennis on his own is occasionally OK.

[TomRWiseman]

Isn't it ironic that, whilst commenting on the intelligENCE of the contestants, you misspelt the key word yourself :) Just a friendly observation

[DaBigA1]

was the contestant that went into the game Hugh Dennis?

[BlindfoldedParrot]

Did he say "Duffield Zone?"

[cameronboy18]

@BlindfoldedParrot "Industrial zone"

[Venga1]

Milky milky

[kbtreturns]

"i can't see what i have to do!" haha this is great!

[XxLi3rose123xX]

HAHA this was funny! :)

[sam99998]

hahaha i have not seen this for a long time i remeber watching this and i was in histarics

[InstantMix]

I love hugh dennis :D

[EscapetoSunrise]

One of the funniest television moments of the last 30 years.

[reddragon8]

Brilliant!

[gculloty87]

Was this from The Mary Whitehouse Experience or from Punt & Dennis's own show? the appearance of David Baddiel makes me think it was on the former.

[amberarmy1969]

Yes, it was the MWE. Whatever happened to Rob Newman? He was by far the funniest one on that show ... loved the 'History Today' sketches & his Jarvis character.

[JackReeve]

@amberarmy1969 Newmans now become a weird mix of political activism mixed with stand up he seems like a pretty good stand up he was in the 100 greatest stand ups list that was on channel 4

[PlasticHandz]

@SinfulPWN And could you also say what country this word comes from?

[z200poz]

is that hugh dennis trying to make the tea

[alanporic]

Yes, lol. The man is a god!

[residentevilgoddess]

hehe

my mum says i was the only 6 yr old she ever knew that would watch the crystal maze, takeshis castle, gladiators and fort boyard

haha still love them all to this very day

[DaBigA1]

@residentevilgoddess yeah they are brilliant. I haven't seen them for a while though :(

[multimann2]

at first, I thought it's the real show, but when I saw the team members jumping like monkeys I noticed the word "spoof".

Thanks for uploading

[pisartist]

The Crystal Maze use to have some rite divvies on it.

[race1717]

What's a spoof anyways?

[flankspeed]

I think my wee brother had the same shellsuit hugh dennis is wearing...

[misterlorik]

Even I have trouble making tea sometimes! Poor bloke, i know how he feels...

[chindleymuffin]

I've got this on VHS tape somewhere, it was off the TV show 'The Mary Whitehouse Experience.' A classic series which I watched avidly. Just wish some channel (like Dave) would repeat it.

[resonance2001]

HA HA I remember this first time round...

[davelpo]

its a testament to how incredibly popular The Crystal Maze was in the early 90s to be parodied like this.

Kudos to Punt & Dennis, they always made me laugh.

[seeyouintheeighties]

i love the cheesey music!! haha

[PHILJONES432]

I havent seen this for years,ha ha magic

[therealKINDLE]

BRILLIANT!

[Leak000]

I CAN'T SEE WHAT I HAVE TO DO!

0_0

[VJoe10]

haahahaah

[dylandior123]

LMAO

I loved the crystal maze, but this is bloody funny!

Top shelf mate

[Ultimusprime999]

i agree Andrew Lloyd Webber doesn't put up with this crap. he just puts up with Graham Norton.

[DaBigA1]

@Ultimusprime999 Putting up with graham norton would be difficult though. (jks)

[EnormousHuntBall]

"I once wrote a hit west end musical you know..."

[exoneuk]

LOL! I totally remember this clip!

[Arbobug]

Spoof? Isn't this just a clip from the original TV series? Haha seriously though I loved the Crystal Maze

[Catherine3234]

Is that Hugh Dennis?

[helmsly2010]

yeah

[ConanCnutKicker]

and david badiel

[Kingsland111]

lmao, brilliant.

[makotok3n]

hahahaha :)

[thebeatinginthedamme]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH i remember seeing this when it came out sooooo funny

[wisteela]

I remember seeing this for the first time, and thinking how spot on it was.

[dim432]

good thing thay didnt take the mick out of ed tutor pole

[EnormousHuntBall]

That would be far far too easy.

[svraju84]

great spoof...

[feckingbillgates]

I remember this from the mid nineties. It's a pretty obvious gag though and the real crystal maze is funnier! I don't like Hugh Dennis' version of Richard O'Brien where he thinks everything's rubbish and he hates his job. It would have been better if he'd loved it and thought the game was amazing.

[innit27]

no it wouldnt

[VelvetKisses1986]

Steve Punt was Richard O'Brian...

[poopiheimer]

nice to see crystal maze still being funny. love the video shows how much the contestants knows. i give it 5 stars. bring back crystal maze

[axelsteel21]

omg hugh dennis lol legend

[g000we]

Excellent! :)

[ProgressiveAngel83]

I remembered this clip but i wasn't sure if it was 'Punt and Dennis' or Mary Whitehouse. Looking back i guess the fact that David Baddiel is in it knida gives it away :)

[dmcfee]

I think someone might have already said this, but it wasn't "Punt & Dennis". It was the earlier "Mary Whithouse Experience'.

[ProgressiveAngel83]

Thanks for putting this on. Steve Punt really really makes this sketch! I especially like the bit where he comes on at the beginning. Also the crap 1980's shell suits :)

[alienfingers]

Fucking epic.

[helix254]

lol this is real comedy. do you think there should be a new crystal maze which is bigger and better. with dominic wood presenting. i think so

[captainwungf]

@helix254 no way! they'd never do it justice, and the early 90's shellsuits would be sorely missed along with richard o'brian

[johnjnukemsheridan]

@helix254 Sooo true! I can't be arsed with british comedy today. If it doesn't give you plenty of belly laughs, what's the point tuning in!

[XxLi3rose123xX]

@helix254 I think they are making a new series except with Amanda Holden :( On ITV soon, i think. It could be rumours but you know, I wish David Tennant was hosting :( x

[helix254]

@XxLi3rose123xX I hope its only rumours, dont think amanda holden would be good at it. David tennant however is another good example of someone who would be good.. :)

[XxLi3rose123xX]

@helix254 I agree :)

[Lostfaith1980]

@helix254 No it has to be Brian Blessed ^_^ "OH for fuck sake team! You really are fucking stupid aren't you!" ^_^ At the top of his lungs.

[helix254]

@Lostfaith1980 now that i would love to see XD

[AmyBbzx]

LMAO! It's not as good as the spoof on Dick and Dom in da Bungalow called "The Crystal Muck". Type that in on the search thingy and watch it! ITS HILARIOUSSS!!!!!!

[xLizziePhoenix]

well, to be honest, some of the contestants (not all) but some can be quite... well... slow at figuring out some of the games, lol. A funny video nonetheless.

[sarahwithstars]

Is that Neil Mularky as the contestant?

It is you know!!!!! woop woop

[009090]

Unfortuantly I find this funny and EXACTLY on the net as well...its like irl i'm talking to babies and chimpanzees....

[GoldmansNephew]

If anything, the spoof contestants are smarter than the real thing.

There was one episode where a lass was doing the colour-coded house break game (from Industrial Zone) and it took her a minute just to get in the house!

[gimmeabba15]

That is funny when they take the piss out of the contestants! LOL!!!!

[dmarriner21]

Yes it was Hugh Dennis - This sketch is from the Punt & Dennis show

[tau000]

but it also had David Badiel in the crowd,

[mostyn0707]

Actually it was from 'THe Mary Whitehouse Experience' from 1992

I was a huge fan don't you know!

[SteadyBob]

One of the funniest programs of the time, even more so now.

It's a shame they can't repeat the two series because of the row of royalties (or something like that)

[mostyn0707]

Incredible programme, still splits my sides watching it now.

Milky! milky!

[brakie1978]

I got them on dvd from ebay afew years back!!

Money well spent

[bneas05]

i didn't know you could buy crystal maze dvds? i didn't even know they had made any videos/dvds... How did you manage to buy them? It must've been something that someone had put together, cos i've spent ages searching the web trying to find vidoes or dvds and found nothing!!!

[brakie1978]

No not Crystal Maze DVD's.

This is from a comedy programme called "The Mary Whitehouse Experience".

Thats wot i bought on ebay.All the episodes. Realy funny , well worth checking it out.

[bneas05]

oh shame...you had me all excited there for a second!! i thought you'd discovered something amazing!

its quite ironic, that spoof of Crystal Maze isn't that far away from what it was like. the contestants were really that daft!!

[brakie1978]

Yeah i remember seeing afew contestants who were......erm not the brightest lets say.

Everyone at home is screaming at the tv

"C'MON ITS EASYYYY"!!!!

LOL loved that show.

I remember at Blackpool years ago they had "The Crystal Maze Experience" thing u could do.  Always wanted a shot on that , reckon i couldve been good lol

[jonowaller]

There was one at the bowling alley in Maidenhead, it was a big hanger type space, and you ran around and tried to win crystals... ahhh, those were the days...

[brakie1978]

Bring back the crystal maze i say!!!

I reckon a celebrity version with think Z list celebs would be great!! lol

[retroglide2000]

Lol it would be funny to see them twits with inflated sense of ego's be brought down to earth with a bump!

Then again we already have too many of them on the gogglebox - perhaps 'Z-list Celebrity Suicide' could be a bigger hit?

[brakie1978]

Yeah forget my idea. That would be a fantastic show.

We could vote on the best way for the so called " celebs " to die.

"Press Red on your remote if u would like to see Jodie Marsh run over by a train , Yellow for her to throw herself of a skyscraper and Blue if u want her to shoot herself in the head........ vote now"

LOL

[brakie1978]

Did u try Ebay?

Its amazing the things u can find on there.  Random tv shows that people put on dvd and sell.

[tidey12]

lutonlutonalltheway, this is spoof! omg! >:-@

[SonicIngram]

I must admit. This may be a spoof, but my goodness, it's funny.

[pulnulsh]

lol spoof's are meant to be funny

[gftyh]

You wouldn't catch me having to put up with that crap either. 'Frankly that's rubbish' I'd be saying the same

[DarkDrifterUK]

Wasn't that Hugh Dennis?

[lutonlutonalltheway]

wots funny is this is exactly wot crystal maze is like. brilliant.

[ryanwilliams479]

haha indeed you'd sit at home shouting "fucking just do this you knob" and some inbred twat would be scratching his head trying to work it out. The real show that is not this spoof lol

[Bulldan]

whats up wif the contestants? r they retarded or somthin?...most likely yes...LOL!

[pinkymarchietta]

dumass......ITS A SPOOF!!

[Bulldan]

i know, im just sayin...

[mcroper]

How many crystals have we got? One

YAY!!!

Frankly thats rubbish

Lol great spoof!

[schweitzer006325]

"I was once in a West End Musical...you don't get Andrew Lloyd Webber getting this crap, do you?" LOL! Priceless!

[KoAham]

what program is this from?

[Tsietisin]

The program was an early 90's sketch and stand up show called "The Mary Whitehouse Experience"

[memassivbeast]

very good

[LoafOfPint]

Stevechard shaking his head at the camera with the music playing in the backgroun was probably the funniest part of the video. You could usually tell Richard wanted to just mock the contesants almost all the time on the show, but was always diplomatic enough to let them off.

[DarkMunns]

this is v funny hehehehexXx

[fatmike01]

LOLOL amazing

[babyrahma]

ll00ol funny

[DiseaseShaker]

Great stuff!

[LeahSade]

God i love the panicked cry of "I'M COMING OUT!" and "Richard" jsut staring at the camera.

BRilliant.

[therealtimshady1983]

so true

[Axelwater]

"This is the make a cup of tea game"

"I don't see what i have to do!!"

Hilariously funny.

[cbraxxas]

Haha, brilliant!

[antster1983]

Hahaha! It's funny because it's so true! :o)

[cheRRymanJ]

bloody genius!

[Porsmond]

I did see this when it was orginally broadcast, but I havent seen this for a while, so it was good to watch it again, very very funny indeed

The Crystal Maze Rocks

[slappzz]

Classic material

[SonicIngram]

Oh, this is funny!! :-)

[marquisdemcbride]

This stuff is brilliant. I'm only discovering MWE now, but I'm glad I did. This is probably one of the best sketches I've seen. Heres hoping for a DVD release.

[roughquest28]

A star vidoe so funny

[cjs1492]

VERY funny stuff! The music and annoying contestants are perfect! I saw this sketch when it was originally broadcast - I feel old. I've got a stack of VHS full of Crystal Maze taped from years ago. I really must transfer it to DVD before it dissolves into nothing...

[Nickuk1987]

Your making me wish I recorded every episode as well... I miss this program as well as Knightmare, Catchphrase, Big Break, Bullseye. All the classics

[leroybrown777]

It would be awesome if you could get those up onto YouTube somehow... :)

[neiluk2006]

Yeah that would be great if you could, I wish they would bring them out onto DVDS!!!

[KatziiYataki]

This spoof is absolutely amazing! I love the Crystal Maze and this just parodies it awesomely!

[remjet]

So true it hurts! Sadly missed, telly aint been the same since, lol!

[LAXED]

LOL Classic.

[KrazyGal]

LAWL... friggin' hilarious xD

[Tsietisin]

That would be Steve Punt.

[wimbourne]

brilliant, and true.

IT WONT FITT

so funny so true

geneious =]

[Nickuk1987]

Brilliant. Perfect in every detail. I miss that show and richard o'brian playing the Harmonica LOL

[TheRealMizz]

Yeah, Richard made that show. I always loved his little musicical moments, lol!

[evil666togepi]

I CAN'T SEE WHAT I HAVE TO DO!!!

So true...

[loserkid76]

haha classic! it really was like that, way funny.

[FirstCymru]

hahaha quality!!!

[TheRealMizz]

Lol, that was exactly how it was though!
