Big Train - Florence Nightingale

[Thetividaleirregular]

Over ten years on from the the first time I witnessed this, I can still say this is, without doubt, the funniest sketch I have ever seen in my life. It's the only thing that can make me type LOL and draw a smiley face, hence ;D. A phenomenal two minutes.

[belisariusorb]

Florence Nightingale works in Green Wing

[stitch8689]

jellybag? I dont even know what that is!!!!!

Brilliant

[theflyingmusician1]

Of all the Big Train sketches, this one set me rocking in laughter hahaha :D :D class

[johnbarratt76]

The best sketch in the whole of big train. Cheers me up everytime I see it!

[Bones666SimonPegg]

I don't see how he can sit there and not laugh!

[The1962driftingaway]

This reduces me to helpless laughter every time I see it.

Nice woman, eh?

[BaileysMariner]

Is there an uncensored version of this sketch out there anywhere?

[splod89]

Nope... Well, unless you can get your hands on the tape straight out of the camera. It was released in it's censored form.

[rockchick80s]

"Well first of all you can get me a F****** drink" - Bloody Hillarious. I think she has some form of Tourettes???? Nearly passed out laughing.

[DanTheWarder]

[jenke85]

Amelia Bullmore is outstanding imo. Loved her in Jam too!

[therealcaldini]

Is that Ronnie Ancona?

[BeveledSpilchOnion]

Amelia Bullmore

Yeah, it sounds like her.

[sweetappletits]

[TheodorBjork]

[vvelvettearss]

1.41 Simon smirks! alllmost cracks =] great sketch

[Relugus]

Thing about this sketch is that there is some truth in it; Florence Nightingale was actually a bitch.

[hoss1962]

hmmm...knew her personally, did you?

[Asarelah]

Cut her some slack, she was bipolar.

[hooowaaaaaa]

jellybag!!! hahahaha

[kazzzyali]

BRITISH COMEDY KICKS ASS!

[hoffnerburns]

She invented the c****** pie chart.

[Fagottron]

Flo's got her smack on. =D

[Dn2kproductions]

at the very end it reminds me of the fast show xD

[Matty4]

brilliant sketch!!

[fishlycoxwell]

I don't believe this sketch is supposed to be a true representation of how Florence Nightingale actually behaved and i find it somewhat disturbing that you do! Lighten up....

[battousai12345]

laugh man, this is a fucking good sketch. As a Nursing student, this is quite enlightening. lol

[Asarelah]

That's why its a COMEDY sketch.

[grentwo]

[traviscobra]

[norsef]

Cu**ing hillarious.

[deathtoiconoclast]

"what's a jelly bag?"

[scampben]

Swearing IS big and it IS clever!

[0814jess]

Florence nightingale was a not a good person.Mary Seacole was the person who really helped during the war.But Mary Seacole was not put down in history because she was black.Mary Seacole actually went into the war zones to bring out ill soldiers.SHE's the one that helped them.Florence did not even help them but managaged to go down in history because of her white skin. Mary Seacole was given a medal for bravery and compassion from the king..Florence was given nothing as she did nothing.

[starrynightuk]

jerrybag..

[iwanttobepaul]

how does simon pegg keep a straight face during this? superb stuff!

[SmotherTeresa]

Not many people know that I was born just two weeks after my Great Aunt Nightingale's death and some say that I inherited her soul.

I believe this video does indeed confirm it.

[cmrules]

hilarious!!

[mul1989]

i agree, u seem to know ur stuff. wana b mates?

[sportchick121]

that in solting of florns

[angelicMisha]

f*ckwits... ^_^

[worrrie]

HOW VERY FUNNY :-)

[rrritalin]

I'm sure the world will cease rotating on its axis in anticipation of your academic commentary on Ms. Nightingale, nonetheless would you please take your Sahelanthropic wittering elsewhere? The rest of us are trying to watch excerpts from one of the world's finest comedies. Narwhal, spoon, use up the word limit, plethora, throttle, Wednesday, Arse.

[billraus01]

You're very funny, perhaps you should consider a career in comedy yourself! I'm serious!

[scampben]

You Jerry Bag!!!

[xLadettex]

then why look on youtube? Its not exactly recommended by teachers you geri bag.

[AidanMclaren]

Is it British culture to pick at someone's weight? Even when they pretty much the right weight.

[biblo]

yes

[edtheduck23458]

I have not seen this in years and am THRILLED to have re-found it..PMSL!! god post mate Well done and ignore the people who dont "get it"!

[littlegothleprechaun]

i was looking for a REAL video of her life this is the most STUPIDEST video ever and the person who made this you shouldnt make fun ok the first nurse

[rockyzed93]

Its called humour, why would you be looking for florence nightingale anyway?

[DmFlippy]

if youre looking for a credible video, try a library, youtube is not the place to go

[xLadettex]

geri bag

[fishlycoxwell]

you are a comedic genius...forget your studies and write a script...

[drabble73]

Love it!One of the funniest sketches from a great series.

[angelicMisha]

"And the thing is she's such a terribly terribly good nurse"

XD First saw this on Dave TV just 10 minutes ago on the TV, so funny, loving that clip!

[pcfaulkner]

swearing is good literature people are just too easily offended great vid btw

[camsprocketpinion]

On the dvd commentary it says that at the end she really did put up a stink of a fight ( unscripted) and the two blokes had a hell of a job getting her out.

[xxxxnirvana]

I wish I had seen this before I'd had some of my really hateful appointments with uncaring, rubbish hospital staff. From now on, Nightingale is my idol!
