French and Saunders - Ponies

[CBoone321]

What an irritating laugh tape "nothing funny? no... hit the laugh button!"

[Caedmon25]

This was my childhood, a lot of mud, pony poo and a series of naughty pony. I loved them all

[SexyHaras]

SO FUNNY!!!!!!

[king122007]

very funny

[ThePoeticPony]

Dawn French is now 20% cooler

[ChannelEric06]

I watch this all the time. I love when they say: "Well that was a record,"

"Yes, just the 8 hours."

[MuckMountain]

Just the sort of people I get to teach!!! AGGGGGGHH!!! :D xxx

[STAUFFERMOIRA]

Perfection: British Sense of humour and horses.

[nikkimoo1986]

[ShameAndBlame]

ah, I remember those days. And they were great!

[superjune1960]

This is soooo funny, reminds me when I was a kid riding a dobin like that, fantasticly done, well done French and Saunders. :)

[Dcup91]

"Just the 8 hours this time"

[MITSYGRUMBLE]

This was me and my friend Mary when we were kids. PERFECT and nearly wet myself laughing

[7SCaro]

My horse does a peter pan too often but he does jump though.....he just loves to eat!!!! I love this video!!!!

[sleepybear1]

ha ha ha Peter Pan could be my friend's horse and Jigsaw could be mine LMAO!!!

[Larzabeth]

@deeallen2 LOL!!! She has such control over her horse! When she was eating the feed, well I have to say that sweet feed kind of looks like it would be good. Kind of like granola! LOL That would be me in the end running around without the horse! Thank you so much for sharing this with me! I needed to laugh! ;)

[rhondasmy08]

Priceless--hadn't seen it since the tv series--straight to favourites :)

[eastbrake]

 Totally hilarious. Couldn't stop laughing once I started. Love the accent, luv the 'people jumping at the end! We've all met ponies like Peter Pan at one time!! Thanks for a brilliant clip.

[MsHobbyfarmer]

The jumping at the end was priceless! What horse nut hasn't done that ?

[missysparkelshine]

Just like my horse typical peterpan, my family held a mini Badminton and he did nothing!!!!!!!! Apart from eat.

[Katencantada]

So sweet! I remember being just like that.

[deathroman13]

Hahaha the end XD

[StoakVixen]

This made me laugh :) <3

[ImDaPwincess]

Which series is this from and what epsiode?

[TheSqueenie]

hahaha... Jig saw is like my saddlebred he hats jumping and will avoit it at all cost. :)

[lucyc54]

[georgia00ful]

[lucyc54]

[JBfanforlife]

[WillowviewHillFarm]

[flipflap95]

[icklesquish89]

@WillowviewHillFarm I think it's called A Musical Joke

[WillowviewHillFarm]

Just found this - thx for posting. it's very funny and very typical of live in UK hah

[sophyjophy]

what is the song playing in the background at the start and a little bit at the end??

[WuffWuffOhFlashy]

Classiic! We've all been there.

[TheElvisaka]

Watching these two always gives me such a laugh. A great comedy duo

[eccentricnags]

ahhhh...middle aged chubby women riding like teenagers on red cordial...they dont die of old age, they get killed by brain damaged OTT's on highways :D

[shelby477]

Some things are universal! My young teenage life in California!

[2010liveordie]

its sooo great how saunders knows horses! She is an awesome country girl.!

And French; needless to mention, Brillienty!!!

Two of the great comedic heroes!!!

[Intikama]

lmao makes you realise how ridiculous horse riding really does look to non horsey folk :L (I'm a rider myself before anyone starts)

[tacknup]

ahahaha! It was just too funny for words. I had tears coming out of my eyes from laughing so hard. One horse won't go, one won't stop, they do nothing asked of them, but they're ready for dressage tomorrow! ROFL It makes me appreciate my Arabians and Haflinger even more! Such good horses :-)

[katesatriani]

@tacknup

Hi- just saw your comment and wanted to ask you to give me a detailed description of a Haflinger- what they look like please.

In anticipation thanks

[tacknup]

@katesatriani

Well I assume you have internet access because you're here :-). Why not just do a search for Haflinger? They're large pony sized horses.

[katesatriani]

@tacknup

Well yes I do have internet access but thought that you would be proud enough of the Haflinger breed that you would have taken the time to respond politely to someone;s question?? Thank you soooo much for all your help !!/?????

[katesatriani]

@tacknup

Very funny isn't it? Especially funny if you've ever had much to do with horses- lots of riding or pony club or competitions! The things that happen in this sketch - we've all had them happen to us! I had a 16.1 hh TB and when we first went to Pony Club he bolted straight through about 4 classes- I COULDN'T stop OR turn him- it was so embarassing!! (we weren't too popular that day!)

[theflhowes1]

That was the funniest thing ever!!! LOL!

[markc1234golf]

superbly funny thanks for that :o) they have it spot on don't they lol

[stalliongaze]

omg this was so frickin funny!!! hahaha it made my nerves settle down because i do i have a show today and my stomach it acting up

[96chocoholic]

This is absolutely funny. We are always quoting this at my barn. "The British Team are depending on me. Only Peter Pan's never done Badminton before." and "I love you Peter Pan!"

[stalliongaze]

@96chocoholic haha i didnt know this was you and i thought to myself.... wow this sounds like our barn lol.. and guess what... IT IS!!! hahahahaha

[SAVETHEBRUMBIES1]

god it was like watching my daughters in the paddock bwahahahahaha

[funkychicken49]

fab no matter how how many times you watch it :-)

[nebutron]

I think I've been to this barn. Well, its cousin in the US.

[imnothingbutme]

french's awesome!!!! turns all those days where the ponies dont wanna be caught into laugh ....

[wheelin126]

ROFLMAO!!!!! I found found my monsters relatives...Peter Pan and Jigsaw!! Totally know the feeling of the game "catch me if you can"!! Loved the ending where they gave up and did the jumps themselves lol

[debandax]

hahahahahahahahaha!!!! so, so funny - whaddya reckon Soph? (c'mon peter pan!)

[hallows03]

lol funnyfunny XD

[sarsquirrel]

ha ha love it!

[BoDogGSLee]

haha

[ilovetommy312]

HAHAHA I LoVe this video! I swear to god i have watched this 30 times.... Litterally! This reminds me of my friend and i. (she has a percheron and i have a quarter horse/ thoroughbred.) I know this video word for word! Sooooo funny! XD

[Callipygiancharley]

Ahaaa, I watch this whenever I'm completely and utterly frustrated and feeling like a crap rider.... there's nothing like reminding yourself that it's meant to be fun! I think I'm turning into Jen more than Dawn as I get older... being taken rapidly backwards into a ditch and screaming FOR GODS SAKE YOU BUGGER MOOOOOOVE!... I even tie my coat shut with baling twine cuz the zip's broken. :D If I ever have kids, this will be their childhood.

[VABkWrm]

Oh God, my stomach hurts from laughing so much!!

[trailgrrl06]

is this jennifers farm in Devon?

[revolvigdoors]

i was thinking the same thing, i was aslo wondering if they were her horses..

[leonaxlewisxrox]

@revolvigdoors i was wondering the same thing, jennifer has 3 horses i think

[fanakopan]

i think anyone whos had anything to do with horses or ponies can relate to this lol!!

[fanakopan]

so funny.

[elensell123]

GREAT, just like the old days. They really made a good impressions of how it is when you are riding a pony. This happened so many times. I love it when they are jumping themselfs because we did that to.LOL

[Simpsonfreak1]

hehe Jigsaw u buggar!

love this so much!

[vivvys1]

wen i first saw this i laughed so hard i cried it is soooo close to the truth because i grew up with ponies and you really do get those that have all the fancy clothes and those that dont - hilarious - French & Saunders rock

[equestriansuperstar]

brilliant!!!!

oh god but the worst part is, me and my friends have jumped the course on foot when we gave up on the horses!!

[CluelessPictures]

funny, my horse has acted like that before....not the jumps, i just trail ride.....man those saddles look uncomfortable, i ride western

[MariaSue1]

Cute!

[strawberryjn]

haha my mum says its her lol

[jaxom66]

was this shot at their place in Devon?

[mellyxmorphine]

lmao Jigsaw reminds me of my horse, Thea, out on hacks. XD

[mondiceblacksmiths]

I watch this every time I need a good giggle!

[kath61]

Thankyou so much, this will cheer my mum & me so well

[beckypoo007]

Ha ha! Brilliant!

[terigower]

[sirhcnehcsig]

[terigower]

[CocaineHabbit]

not quite as hilarious as eddie and patsy "horseriding" on ab fab, but still very funny.

[apollojakenwill]

The memories....

[ponyperson93]

brilliant! sooo funny...

[Mayz14a]

I love it!

[LoraaSmile]

'Neigh, neigh, neigh!'

[bootsandsaddles]

Fanbloomingtastic! These two are geniuses. Thanks for the laugh. Picking up feet is my current problem lol.

More please ladies.

[Holsteiner42]

This is PERFECT!!! Wonder will they do the dressage? Cannot wait !!!

[2829hrcnc]

this is so funny. What would the world be like without horses?  Mine would be awful.

[Holsteiner42]

This is for every horsewoman...It's perfect! How many of us make it to Badminton ~ SO SO funny!!!

[iluvjawnx]

i wonder if these were actually Jennifers horses hmmm

[PixieII]

OMG this is my childhood!!!

[faunava]

Always good for the blues

[mayevening]

I love this. I never laughed so hard in my life. Great video.

[Arwengurl662]

Next time my horse refuses a jump, I'll jump it on foot!! jk

[Lilifer001]

LMAO!!! :D nearly wet meself !! :D

[99horselover]

That music at the start is soo real..I relate 2 it!!!

[Mikemaniax]

How much funnier would this have been if they did this without horses and did the Monty Python thing with coconuts?

[SydSqueek]

hehehe!

[rjbrads]

I almostr wet myself watching this again! Had forgotten how true it was. Catching them with a bit of string after trailing round with a bucket of nuts for hours. I remmeber it well! The funniest thing ever!!!

[grattongirls]

that gets better and better evey time i watch it

[sonnysmoonshot]

Every time I watch this it gets funnier. Reminds me so much of when my sister, cousin and I were kids. Brings back so many great memories!!

[hannah82nz]

OMG that was the funniest thing I have ever seen. I remenber being both those riders at some point. And jumping on foot!!

For those asking Jen does ride and has horses but not sure about Dawn. Best sketch ever!! :)

[linustheferret]

This hit close to home. I almost pissed my pants. I have done more or less all of the things as a kid including jumping on my own. Hilarious!!!!! Ps is her coat held together with bailing twine? They even got that down. I think they covered everything,

[jaymigirl]

That is the funniest thing I have ever seen!!! I can totally relate, and so can most of my friends!!! lol!!

[faaseyn03]

As a lifelong horse owner and endurance rider, I find this video hilarious. Anyone who has ridden or handled horses, especially ponies, will relate. Very funny!

[faaseyn03]

As a lifelong horse owner and endurance rider, I find this video hilarious. Everyone who has ridden or handled horses will relate. Very funny.

[ShattereDreams17]

I'd say this was pretty accurate lol!! Unfortunately I'm more of a jennifer saunders...

It is just a joke and you can clearly see none of the horses are in distress...they don't even jump anything...

[Selmaneiti]

Besides - to those who seem to take this a little bit too seriously: can you see them hurting those cuties a bit?

[Selmaneiti]

Is that really Jennifer Saunders riding on that grey horse? She seems to ride very well to my eye!

Really funny, I liked that bugger you -part!

[langtonhighway]

That was soo funny! I missed seeing that when it was first shown and heard my friends laughing about it. Those two MUST have had ponies when they were little girls, as it is so realistic - just what me and my friend used to do, even down to the "you bugger you" comments!! Very funny and very nostalgic.

By the way FRENCH 1102 - it's a sketch by comediennes!! Not real!

[TheScoggins]

This video had me laughing for a long time, we all talk about how many parts of the video are too familiar, one thing is clear, Peter Pan was loved!!

[dustnrose]

OMG!!! To funny!!!! it is all to familiar!! LOL!!

[FRENCHI1102]

If a horse doesn't want to jump, DON'T make him!  People need to seriously educate themselves on the physiology of jumping and how it affects horse's hooves, ligaments, joints, etc. But, I know, we're all too selfish to do that. It's what WE want, not what's best for the horses's health!

[sazzy925]

Uh ... you do realise this is a sketch right?

[bittyflea]

OMG, I even have the same blue bat!!! But mine has a finger sticking out of it... because I learned to ride, as an adult, on a wiley pony. I related to so many things (particularly the bailing twine as a solution to many problems!!!)

[tallgalzz]

Brilliant! A classic for all of us riders out there! Truly a lesson in empowerment and asertiveness!! (we all get humbled in the end..............) TallGal54

[nbgwho]

This is brilliant! Been there, done that (for a livng, actually) got the tee shirt (and the shite on my bottom) to prove it! Thanks for sharing these brilliant two comics with this yank.

[thecloudpainter]

Oh my gawd -

I remember playing with my horse buddies doing stuff like this...

Thank you for posting this!

[herecumztrubble0]

Just makes me cringe!!

[snoopsincharge]

OMG.....ROFLMFAO!!!!

This was so funny, it made me CRY!!!

[Doric444]

OMG even a dressage rider can do this jump course. Can we send these two crops and grass reins or just sign them up for Parelli lessons. Great laugh for the day!

[eringl529]

love this!!! i have totally been there!!

[0rangehoof]

that was soooo funny!!

[xxmigglesxx]

Haha!! Loved It Soo Furnii!

[SonnyLees]

Hahahahaha! That sad but I know people could relate to this! LOL! It's the modern version of Thelwell Ponies! :)

[milliesos]

hahahaha oh my god thats so funny

[bucketpony]

Love it! Been on one myself, own a horse like the bay! Funny, funny, funny!

[barncat]

Been there, done that! How cute!!!!

[chefcandi]

[Pfinn582]

too cute!

[GlockGal27]

This is priceless...all of us have been here one time or another!

[friesianfan69]

Brilliant!!

[eringl529]

i have totally been there!!! soooo funny!!

[1RILEY3]

That was my childhood! Love, loved it!

[dustybootsga]

This is priceless! Best part is a toss-up: sharing the grain bucket in defeat, or completing the course on-foot, refusal and all. Ha ha ha ha!!!!

[Haflinger96]

Haha why is that so true?? It reminds me of myself! Haha five stars and a favorite!!

I think I've been there WAY too much haha.

[andwhoa]

so funny! i've been there hauling up a piggy's reins on the grass. i can't wait to see a dressage one.

remember the monty python dressage one?

[nizz9]

ahahahaah I loved this!!! I've so had days like this with my horses. so perfect

[k4morgans]

LMAO!! We've all been there ;)

[saddlebred25]

omg that is like hiliarious lol

[jtrockingt]

I can only hope we get to see the dressage sequel

[imemylee]

Is it sad that I can relate? hahaha

[Equestrianjumper567]

OMG THATS SO FUNNY

[SaddlebredfreekX2]

omng funnny!

[crazyeventer123]

haha this is hilarious

[kiana596]

[elisegaetz]

Kids? This is like every ride for me in adulthood!

[KonTiki13]

Lmao!! =) Great skit.

[keokukco]

OMG! i think only horsey people would totally understand! so funny! i think we have all experience this almost everytime back in the day of childhood!great video!

[Bonnerific]

Beyond funny: who *didn't* experience this as kids with ponies?! F&S just *nailed* it...oh, kids today with their video games don't know what they're missing....

[thefather1961]

I am in tears!! That was so funny!! The jumping course was the best! I about wet myself well done. Great skit HAHAHAH

[Bladesinger6640]

Ha ha that was great, there jumping coarse is better than the ones I started off with, heheheheh I remember riding around the property looking for fallen down trees to jump over. Heheheh brings back many memories that I would nto trade for the world

[ThundersRose]

Omgosh, I have always had horses but I remember myself and my sister racing around the field jumping logs and sticks with skipping ropes around our middles whinnying. *sigh* Good times

[justcamelot]

LMAO! Growing up in UK riding every horse we could lay our hands on this brought back so many memories! Loved the theme tune clips used in it too- The White Horses (raced home from school to watch that), The Horse of the Year show at Wembley (when they are catching the horses) & the TV Series Black Beauty. Perfectly done from the Pony Club tie to jumping on foot!

[TeaAnLemons]

"jigsaw you stupid bugger!" so funny!

[lilysj]

it's ace lol x D

[callewag]

"do you think we should have a go at dressage tomorrow"?! maybe not!

[lucie776]

does anyone no if this is jens house cos that is definatly dartmoor?

thanks

[ahopelessdreamer]

nah this was filmed in the 90's, too early for the move south for jen :)
