I remember quite a few years ago they were playing these back to back practically all night , we all nearly died laughing , soooooooooo funny. literally could not breathe.
you wanna watch were your steppin round here boy, you might fall down a hole. where would you be if you fell down a hole ?. lmao. used to watch this show when i was like 12 im now 24 & still laugh at it. imagine stoping & asking for directions in the middle of no were & meeting someone like this lol. mark williams is a really funny chap. & paul white house is a genius :-).
Classic comedy. Even after all these years have passed since the first time I saw it, this still makes me laugh every time. The Fast Show was a brilliant show, and this particular sketch is one of its most inspired moments.
Can anyone help me? I'm looking for a Fast Show sketch with a character that I believe only appeared once. He was played by Paul Whitehouse, and was basically a middle-aged man in a shop, buying something, who kept asking the staff to confirm what he was doing e.g. "I go in there, do I?", "I give you that, do I?", "I walk out that door, do I?". Anyway, it was hilarious, and if anyone knows more about it, please let me know.
This sketch isso forgivingly unknown these days that if somebody latches on to the end of a sentence ''with an owl!' it deserves a freemason type-exclusive wink. Shall we start it?.
As many other posters on here, my absolute favourite skit from the Fast Show. It made me laugh so hard I cried the first time I saw it, I reacted so violently to it I think I coughed up a lung. Friends still sign off cards, letters and phone calls, 'With an OWL!!'. Fantastic situational comedy, timed to perfection; and completely bonkers! With an OWL. I also interject a manic 'That's NO guarantee!' into conversations with friends, family and clients. I am on my third job and sixth family.
your post made me laugh nearly as much as the actual sketch ! we still say with an owl all the time . people think we're utter weirdoes but who cares !!! priceless xx
@letsbeone Intelligent humorous posting is so enjoyable to read! Thanks : ) It makes such a refreshing change to the usual abuse posted on YT. Hope you managed to stuff the lung back down.
@letsbeone Lol! glad someone else nearly coughed up a lung when he screamed "With an OWL!!!!" laughed my arse off then and laugh my arse off a decade or more later. Absolute genius!!
this is one of my all time favourite clips! it's classic fast show, & will stand the test of time. The expressions on both faces is hilarious! but i'm sure just as the vid is cut he is about to say somethin along the line of "well! "" there goes another one"
These "Direction" sketches are by far the whackiest I've ever seen. Absolute genius. Great character, Sinister and lovable at the same time. He's better used here than in Harry potter!
Every single line in this sketch is brilliant.
