Pappa Lazarou's return - The League of Gentlemen - BBC comedy

[Humbledingify]

Finally, a Christmas special that can pull double duty as a Halloween special.

[Groblinfull]

mummy

[sloppyjoe246]

ive just fucking shit my pants

[iamnotcoolandproud]

For some reason, I can't think what, I was changed after watching the first two series and this of TLoG at the age of eight...

[Daniel27051]

HELLO DAVE!

[66fiveandahalf]

OMG! I love these guys soooooo much! They are laugh out LOUD funny! They are hands down the funniest and best there are!!!

[MrBigolnuts]

I think......that her mum was abducted by a home intruder.......then she was abducted by the same intruder.....

[finnie]

Much scarier and intense than a lot of horror films but then so funny, this is definatley one of my favourite scenes from the League ><

[daveshow2]

GET THE ADVERTS TO FUCK I PAY MY TV LICENCE BBC

[donnat86]

jesus i dont remember it being this scarey!! fuck me :-O

[gerardwfreak]

I've seen a couple of sections he was in, and he seemed wierd but wan't overly creepy; this for me is like the only time where I was like 'damn this guy's scary!' xD

[TheVideoMenace1]

why do people find it so wrong that Id like to meet him?

[wheresolive]

The acting is so good here, it's easy to forget Reece is playing opposite himself. But then I always forget Reece plays Papa Lazarou; he genuinely seems like some crazy guy they found and decided to film.

[ThatChrisGrubicShow]

I rember watching this when it first came on TV. I shit my pants coz I was only young!!

[SaharaChan95]

I didnt find P Laz scary in the slightest when i first saw him. You're all a bunch of pussies lol <3

*HI 5 for Reece's performances* <3

[TheBumbledown]

How could the BBC get PAPA Lazarou's name wrong?

[marginallymental]

Gross!  Terrifying! BRILLIANT!

[motherofallsins]

Sinister as f***. Love it ;)

[mfcastillo1980]

I've seen this so many times, but it still sent a tingle down my spine!

[elmattomagico]

Absolutely nothing short of terrifying!

[PureZOOKS]

I'm not a fa of the League, too dark for me, but PL is fucking awesome.

[teenonator]

If I could find a Father Christmas outfit here in the States, I'd love to spring this on the frigging carolers. Papa Lazarou as plain old Santa would be fine, but the Father Xmas outfit makes it. I've already got the pegs and rings, and need to find some "little people" that would be amenable.

Papa Lazarou's not just for Christmas, but for all year!

[KisameOwnsYouAll]

If I ever saw this guy irl I'd shit myself.

[TheWinterfyllith]

Papa Lazarou is the stuff of nightmares. Genius.

[fullofroubles]

First bit of league I ever did see, walked downstairs as a 9 year old after having a bad dream, and see this on the screen. It did little to alleviate my state of mind.

[GBzclan]

He looks like al jolson on drugs!

[FergusTV1]

that bit at 0:44 had me shit the bed for at least a month

[steerpike66]

That hideous monotone shriek that he makes as he runs towards her with his arms outstretched: what is that a reference to?

[JimmyColls]

@steerpike66 Invasion of the Body Snatchers I think. In the 70s version of the film and pretty much every version following, whenever one of the pod people discovers an unconverted human they point and shriek in monotone to alert others.

[steerpike66]

@JimmyColls Good call, dude, that's it indeed.

[MyKnf]

"Hello Dave".... this guy should interview Cameron... lol

[sunonthewindow]

That laugh at the end. Absolutely fucking genius!

[MeManMk1]

That shit is horrifying. Hilarious, but horrifying

[ma049]

There is a point in the League of Gentlemen when it stops being comedy and becomes pure horror.

[sculli722]

this shits just fucking terrifying.

[88johnbarnes]

Funny real funny! Dam I'm so hard...

[redmenjuice]

Thumbs up if most these comments came from 100 most scary moments

[fraoulakiable]

Papa Lazarou? That's a greek name! Judging from the austerity mesures back here, I can understand his hysterical atitude. Greetings from Greece!

[burnleyboy01]

@fraoulakiable yer the character was based on a greek landlord two of the writers used to have and he would always ask for a steve or somthing haha

[Redmist2000]

I don't see why people find this funny, it's The League Of Gentlemen it's hysterical!

[lippy170]

scarier than the exorcist

[papalazerus22]

hello Dave !!

[Mancy]

Jesus christ that scary! i had to turn the light on, couldnt watch this is the dark

[triangleshapedcheese]

My wife would like to use your toilet.

Dont worry dave she wont do it in the sink again

[schuberttweakle]

I once went to a fancy dress as Pappa Lazarou, I scared the shit out of the kids.

[cowoffate]

@schuberttweakle my brother did that, with alot of people going into hysterics :p

[Krathor18]

Hello Dave? My Wife would like to use your Toilet.....My Wife Says their is a block in your toilet Dave.......I'm going to the toilet dave, but i be back in moment LOL!!!

[ispitthetruth]

he is actually very scary

[Ascaithe]

Are those all his other "wives" on that sleigh? Lol.

[rehovbograshov]

Could you imagine being a kid again and seeing the scene at 1 min??!

[TheAccountOfDarkness]

Quite possibly one of the greatest comedy moments of all time. The way it is revolting to the extreme, is what makes me laugh, this is true comedy it takes down social opinions and exploits them for hilarious pleasure.

[AmayaPapaya40]

i think i just craped my pants LOL HELL NO I WOULDNT

[TheCyberToad]

who played the mother in the flashback? I'm sure I've seen her somewhere before

[BomazXD]

i always thought the women were made into the special stuff =/

[leontrotsky108]

I want to be like papa lazarou when i grow up

[MrJasonSmarts]

@leontrotsky108 you sicko lol

[TimeDigger]

The first time I saw this I didn't know if I should pee myself from laughing so hard or run screaming in terror.... I think I did both LOL

[MickeyLove01]

@TimeDigger That's called pissaughing

[tankisdeath]

YOUR MY WIFE NOW!!!!!!!!

[KrazySpydrLady]

Merry Christmas Royston Vasey! It's lovely how everything in that little town is twinged with evil! Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy!

[stripedblood]

Well spotted Jon Plowman, a genius!

[theunusualsuspect]

The flashback is disturbing yet hillarious

[loverroll]

so its about a gay guy obsessed with another gay

[MrSnoopybunny20]

omg, that's actually really scary!! Still luv papa lazarou tho. I used 2 call everyone dave 4 a while! He's a bit disturbing in this 1 tho...

[TheKlimes86]

Very scary but brilliant!

[iiLoveBillKaulitz]

freaky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[robotwarsfan03]

You're my wife now!!!!

God, one of my fav characters in TLOG of all time

[houndsofroses]

hehehehe sooooo funny imagine that happening on christmas eve!!!! hehhehehee

[7lartceps]

The best christmas special ever, but why has it only ever been on twice? sort it out BBC.

[BeJustInTime]

my dad and i would watch these when i was little.

i would recite the hello dave skit.

seeing this now im wondering why it didnt scare the crap out of me then, its scary now. ha

[guitarh3romaniac]

i watched this wen i was little it scare th shit ot of me now its just funny

[starfishnan]

I dont get the joke whenever he says" You are my wife now"?!

[MyPinkElephants]

It's easier to understand if you've seen the "Hello Dave" skit.

[MrBb100000]

that disturbs me in a good way.i just love black humour and sick jokes it's just me.

[daveabh]

man the xmas specials were f'in crazy!!!!!!!!!!!

[PoorDeadBat]

o.o

[dan32113]

send Papa Lazarou to Afghanistan, imagine the echo round helmand province "hello Dave!" they"d shit their pants...

[Wozzlegog]

im sorry but that is the stupidest thing ive ever heard

[Doctor699]

@dan32113 lol he'd win the war for us in seconds!

[ArthurHilty]

There is definately a hidden message here of the horror of having a strange black man come to your door.

[TheEvilLepracauns]

This is some scary shit, imagine on halloween opening your door and hearing "trick or treat dave!" o.O

[RoadKillFever]

Thanks for the idea, Dave

[trafficlights1]

dress up as him, doitdoitdoit!!! xD

btw, damn evil leprechauns, they stole my pegs T.T

[tgrwp42j12]

i cant watch this its the way he suddenly says

".....Hello dave"

"who?"

"IS THAT DAVE??"

"no"

"its nice to see you again,all grown up"

[socarulz]

shit just got real

[kaisenji]

XD I agree with this observation.

[jmckaskle]

Dave's not here, man.

[jampaste]

Fail.

[MushroomMai]

I used to want to marry Papa Lazarou :)

[teenonator]

Between Papa L as Father Christmas and Dom Joly's Trigger Happy TV Santa clips, it's easy to feel the Xmas spirit year around........."You're my Elf now!!"

[chipsandketchup]

hello dave

my wife wants to use ur toilet dave

[chipsandgravey09]

your my wife now ha ha

[rurbert]

I don't know what kind of show this is...BUT IT HAS MY ATTENTION!

[bombbasticluva]

He's as demonic as a Dalek.

Instead of exterminate, it's Hello Dave

[TheEditingShop]

That's some fucked up shit, right there.

[simbat1989]

your my wife now dave

[VantiveMan]

Anybody want any Orange juice?

[jolowilliamson]

ur my wife now, dave! lol classic:)

[lucilius54]

The world would be a safer place if there were more Lazarous around!

[scottyj141]

I feel it's not christmas until you have watched The League Of Gentlemen christmas special. It scares the crap out of me!

[joshliamdunne]

woah. scary shit man. i've got this on dvd and when i first watched it i could sleep for two days! best character in the show.

[nath909]

you mean you found it boring and fell asleep for 2 days, champ

[Kirki86]

haha, classic

[lostmangos]

This is so funny , i love Bernice shame shes not in series 3 after this special!

Also prefer her bitter and angry not nice!

[tevs93]

She is the series three. At the very end of the sixth episode, you can see her in the background inside Papa Lazarous Elephant.

[finsam98]

your my wife now!

[tellyisrubbish]

What a brilliant comic creation. Pappa Lazarou reeking havoc on the stand-up circuit would be great - some of the material would write itself.

[PartyGnomeStudios]

woah which season was this in? i have seen seasons 1-3 and dont remember this lol

[BrassVaz]

It was a Christmas special.

[mattyrm]

Most of them are funny but that fucker is genuinelly scary!

[finsam98]

init

[Maz1789]

Hey look! It's Slash

[woooowoooooo]

Oh no you didn't!

[JAMELROSE]

Papa Lazarou's scary in this one, but still funny

[stooshmc]

aha halleriousss =) xD

[alfaromeogtv1986]

Just awesome! Like something out of a Nick Cave song.

[LadyEmilyElizabeth]

Is it me, or does Papa Lazzarou look far more terrifying here than in any other of his sketches? :(

[limberbimbo]

It is NOT just you -- usually he's just unsettling and random. This time he's sinister and definitely has a plan. Shudder!

[mistermajestyck]

he's more sinister cuz the xmas special was supposed to feel like an amicus/hammer horror movie anthology.

So everything that was creepy to begin with is cranked up to 11. It's hilarious.

[dogpup4]

Nope, he was really funny in his other sketches but in this he's SCARY!

[lawrargh]

makes me proud to be a brit =D

[KuutamoMoonlight]

"You're my wife now" :D how many wives has he got lmao xD

[ISeeNeonLights]

Im scared:(

[funnyman200]

so scary! But so funnY! AHHA

[sambo7648]

Disturbing but extremley hilarious, whish they they would do more of him

[cocobadgirl]

it's so scary but sooo funny.

[DMEB]

was so happy when they brought papa lazerou back in the 3rd series!!!

[domh10]

in australia, none of my friends have heard this show and when i did a pappa lazarou impression every1 is rly baffled by me

[podriaserpeor]

Weird, disturbing and unsettling.

I have a hangover and seeing this didnt help out at all.

Fuck it.

[MightyBooshObsessive]

i saw this then i was young and it was late at night,

it scared the shit out of me.

i had a re-occurring nightmare about papa lazarou.

i was TERRIFIED

[aedw2]

hilarious

[Stefiism]

this comedy is so wonderfully dark ^^

Its like marmite though.

LOVE IT!

[jimbo5631]

he is hilariously disturbing

[SaitanMar]

Pappa Lazarou is a legend.

[Xeohelioses]

What exactly does he do with all these women when he abducts them?

O.o

[NanoNinj2100]

makes them his wife.

[hysteria666]

puts them into animals bodies

[hanson666999]

hahahaha lol absolutely bloody terrifying! Papa Laz is such a bloody scary guy.

[brokenbrolley]

i'm genuiney afraid!

[sweetandsourgerls123]

Ello Dave

Omgg!! I love the league of gentelmen... Its scary and funny at the same time...

btw

Your my wife now!!!

[RoyalBlueMersey]

The only comedy that is genuinely more thightening than most horror films, excellent.

[RoyalBlueMersey]

how the hell did i spell frightening wrong? lol

[jamamathon]

brilliant video

[DarklingPig]

Duddes

Its The Leauge Of Fucking Gentlemen

Laugh

Or

Go

Away

[SoMuchLoveWins]

The cool about YT is how you can send stuff to pple and they often send stuff to you... sometimes the conversation topic winds up having nothing to do with the video... not a crime; just goes to show how "thought provoking" art really can be !! i am laughing; LOVE this video

[rocknrollcody]

Hello Dave

[SoMuchLoveWins]

my only real critique for this; is that they got it slightly wrong... the desperate housewife only screamed for a couple of shock filled minutes before looking deep into the crazed eyes of Saint not Nick, to realize her true destiny; she then leaped face first into that dirty sleigh and never looked back; the elves r thrilled and santa's teeth have never looked better cos she makes him brush daily

[Hannasaurusvideos]

its meant to be a comedy. dont take it so seriously, its hardly wrong- its a laugh :S

[SoMuchLoveWins]

??? ... u make no sense cos my comment was meant in a tongue in cheeck way... you know; comedy... you thinking i was taking the clip itself seriously is your own misperception

[Hannasaurusvideos]

erm, i dont quite understand the way you speak. use easier and simpler terms maybe?

[SoMuchLoveWins]

my comments ARE simple; they are meant mostly for the person who sent me this vid; exclusively; i really could care less if you cannot see that as it's pretty obvious and SIMPLE

[Hannasaurusvideos]

alright alright. you could be a bit calmer. for all you no i might have a learning difficulty. luckily i dont, im just the the brightest of people.

either way. calm down

[SoMuchLoveWins]

you are dumb; stop trying to put me down; stop looking for an angel... you couldn't make me look bad the first way you tried, so now you're telling me to "calm down" when all i did was basically tell you to go away? Truly bright people are able to admit their own errors INSTEAD of trying to make others look stupid when THEY fucked up; get a grip and lay off already

[Hannasaurusvideos]

lmao. i laughed alot at that.

i just dont understand why you were getting so caught up in the comedy that you have to explain it in some stupid way

nobody givesw a fuck

goodbye

(oh and incase your not that clever. dumb actually means you cant talk, not stupid)

OHH WOUNDED

:l

[SoMuchLoveWins]

still on my case eh? sad to bump into pple like you who never made it past the 3rd grade recess mentality; cheer up though... there's bound to be others out there like you who will pat you on the back for trying to make someone else who's comments had nothing to do with YOU or your peceptions; dumb or stupid; whatever degrading word of the day you've chosen to use or define

[Hannasaurusvideos]

oh thanks mrs fancy pants :D

i actually dont no what your talking about now. but i no its a load if shit.

sorry to rain on your parade. whats 3rd grade im fucking english :D

now shutup please

[202free]

is it true tht ur a witch ?

[SoMuchLoveWins]

no, i've met pple who call themselves "wiccans" that are nice and some that are really not... pple have fears and i myself am a weary person about any organized group of pple claiming to have "answers" above & beyond what daily living asks that we find in life... i do love meditation and i do love shamanism and Reiki; not "wiccan" things; but some Wiccans would say otherwise; you gotta make up your own mind

[SoMuchLoveWins]

Wiccans are hilarious cos on a fundamental level they are no different than religion... some of them are fake and some are genuine human beings just reaching for god and light in their own way...but new age things (including wicca) can also be a "crutch" and can also be used in manipulative ways; judmental wiccans are very disturbed...i believe that INTENTION is everything regardless of gender, sexual orientation, culture or faith versus doctrine

[202free]

luk r8 lol ive not got my brain cell in today lol so cud u plz put tht in more simple terms ?

[SoMuchLoveWins]

cannot apologize for my dialect ; it just is what it is; i suggest; ONLY if you're genuinely interested in what i say; to look up any wrds u don't understand in a dictionary... don't mean to make u work that hard, but i've done it many times myself when pple use wrds i don't understand... lol ya happy loony

[202free]

WTF LOL ? anyway y r we discussin wiccans / witches on a leaugge of gentleman video on youtube ?

[SoMuchLoveWins]

cos mr. unusual brought it up and told pple to ask me about witches and then you did... so i offered up the best explanation of my perceptions for you...i hope it's clear for you and i wish you all the best in your travels in life; be they spiritual or otherwise good intentioned

[RoboOmega3]

Eh, I noticed an inproper use of the semi-colon.... "Google it before you do it!" <-- This is my quote for everything. Period.

[SoMuchLoveWins]

i hear ya; but here on YT which is all over our many languages and slangs world; pple need to grow and relax ; sometimes we just gotta look up words in the dictionary cos the english language is such a nasty maze; other times; we gotta just ask when we r unsure how to interpret something; AND account for typos (nevermind spelling errors)

[unusualsuspect71]

Word to the wise Hannasaurus..........somuchlov­e is wired to the moon, step around her!! I didnt and now she follows me around YT......real hard to shake. And you know you cant be cruel to the mentally ill!! Thats not right!! But if you want to really piss her off call her a witch. She dont like that!!!!! Ha ha ha ha 'A witch has told you'..........aint Youtube a hoot!!!!

[Hannasaurusvideos]

huh? i was a bit confused by that but ok.

the witch :D

[SoMuchLoveWins]

i don't mind that you are a witch or "wiccan"... i must admit initially when getting to know you i expressed much dislike for wiccans... it's all silly really... cos i've met some really wonderful pple who are wiccans but i've also met some nasty pple who are wiccans... it's just the same as being in a Christian social circle; some are really nice and some are not

[202free]

thts obviusley u tlkin nut ur "inner teenage boy " lol u loony

[SoMuchLoveWins]

u may not realize it; but i am a very "NON CLICK" person...i roam where i want to roam in life; and i sit in any social circle for 5 minutes minimun to hear what they got to say cos no ONE singular school of thought EVER has all the "answers"

[SoMuchLoveWins]

I dislike "manipulation" itself... i've met some nasty wiccans (there IS a dark side to wicca and half the wiccans i've met don't even realize they are involved in it)

[unusualsuspect71]

Do you wanna buy some pegs??? After first seeing this on the telly it instilled such a fear of gypsies in me, that I moved out of my caravan into a house with a pool and had all my gold teeth replaced with platinum. Oh and I ate my donkey and bought a racehorse!

[SoMuchLoveWins]

U sent me this 1 a while ago; laughed my ass off then; I dunno; maybe the wife was unhappily married; maybe her life was unfulfilling and she "needed a change"...hee hee hee

[SoMuchLoveWins]

ok, if yer gonna eat asses, by all means enjoy it fully... but at least brush your teeth; gold or platinum; who cares really...but are they brushed regularly and do you floss ?

[unusualsuspect71]

This here gypsy brushes his fangs regularly, twasnt sugar that destroyed my teeth, something much much sweeter......and bitter! Still gold teeth are all the better for eating donkeys!! When I die they can pull them out of my head and pay for my funeral with them. You see theres method to the madness!!!

[SoMuchLoveWins]

brush them with mine, my madness... x

[unusualsuspect71]

In time.........in time, I shall floss them with your pubes!!!!! AH hahahhahahaha!!!

[unusualsuspect71]

Happy Christmas!!
