Peter Sellers: A Hard Day's Night

[Jukanjukanjukka]

Great comedian!



[RichardHell1959]

Next Hallow'een : we should all get Richard the Hundred-and-Eleventh costumes and do this .....

[Instrumentals4Sale]

priceless

[Widgeripoo]

Absolute classic!

[lowlypeasant]

Everyone saying this is genius, but its not even a little funny. I will never understand the appeal of Peter Sellers or Jonathan Winters.

[samisyosam]

@lowlypeasant It's probably because you're a lowly peasant who has never seen Richard III.

[lowlypeasant]

@samisyosam you are correct sir.

[JoeGibsonLP]

Brilliant!!! Does anyone know where I can get that music in the background?

[jcamjcam]

@JoeGibsonLP I'm pretty sure the music in the background was written for this song

[SergentPepper1967]

i didn't even know who olivier was, adn i found this hilarious. now i've watched olivier's rhicard III and i realize per sellers is a genius.

[muneetalks]

This is great! Thanks for the laughs Peter!

[HIVdave]

Peter fucking sellers

[VideosKey]

cesarpolvilho =[ EDU ] Pânico , passou por aqui !

[dropway9]

Never saw this before. This is really fucking brilliant.

[soyarra]

Not only is this totally meta, but I just realized that the boys from Monty Python AND the Mighty Boosh must have seen this somewhere down the road.

Sellers was brilliant.

[kahuna3901]

how on earth can someone dislike this

[janeplant]

Have just turned this up after remembering it from my childhood. Still just as brilliant now as then.

[ttlyawesome444]

When I'm home... feeling you.

...

Holding me.

Tight.

[mensskintightlowrise]

Genius!

[wallofvideo]

this may have inspired sebastian cabot's renditions of bob dylan songs.

[colindaleradiosutch]

RICHARD THE 3rd, woops sorry, its PETER SELLERS, JUST LOVED THE GUY, IN THE NICEST POSSIBLE WAY, DARLINGS... colindaleradiosutch

[MsBkirk]

'Feeling you...' - so suggestive!

[LashBridges]

How do you spell Sellers?.....G-E-N-I-U-S! And probably the biggest heartbreak in entertainment history. This man who barely even tapped his incredible talent didn't even know who he was. His characters took over. In several interviews, he was asked who he was and he stated bluntly that he did not know. So sad. I doubt we will ever see anyone like him again.

[cnutfcucker]

thumbs up if you think he is the finest comedian of all time

[chasspeed]

Does anybody know what TV show this was taken from? I know a lost episode of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's series "Not Only, But Also" with a guest appearance by Peter Sellers was discovered many years ago and was wondering if the clip was from that show?

[Cantabrigidian]

@chasspeed This is from the Grenada TV special "The Music Of Lennon & McCartney", broadcast in the UK in December 1965. The Beatles themselves hosted -- also appearing were Cilla Black, Peter and Gordon, Lulu, Henry Mancini, Esther Phillips, Fritz Spiegl, Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas, Alan Haven, Marianne Faithfull, the George Martin Orchestra, Dick Rivers, and Sellers.

[anasthasys]

... fun is in the eyes of both holder and beholder :)

[troilus90]

Quite apart from the genius of Peter Sellers in this sketch, is the brilliant pastiche of William Walton's music which uses the Beatles' tune. Quality.

[scottadler]

And I'm feeling glad all over. Oh, yes, glad all over. Baby, I'm glad all over, since you're mine.

[sirtinycreep]

Yeah, that's funny.

[TP1988]

A genuine genius.

[MrReallyHard]

Peter Sellers was with The Beatles on several occasions.Partied with them did movies with Ringo Starr and was friends with George Harrison. So fitting for him to do this. Masterful. He worked with Sir George Martin before The Beatles did. I suppose only people of a certain age would know this. Oh well.

[Chongalulu]

Is this where Shatner got his idea for his recitation of Bowie's Major Tom?

[janncam]

That was wonderful! I'd heard an audio of it but never a video. Priceless! Thanks for posting it.

[katethebeatlesa]

I think sellers worked with ringo in a movie at some time. Great guy! And ringo too! Never forgotten as cluseo!!

[orualsbowl]

All right. Love how he widens his eyes all wacked out for a split second, calm as a cucumber, reciting. So funny. Makes me so happy.

[QUEENAbsoluGREATEST]

aaah! CLASSIC STUFF!!!

[novicethe]

The world today thrives on sick humor.How else could anyone possibly DREAM of making PINK PANTHER films without the greatest film comedian GOD ever created?

[47train]

DM hearts PS. Way less than he hearts AH, but PS is pretty dang cool. This proves it. Unless you're ignorant.

[duckgeezer]

legend has it that studio recording time was almost up and this HAD to be the last take.

[pioneermci]

How can one listen to the Beatles perform this song with a straight face ever again?

[willszmans]

Sellers' impeccable comedic timing has never been, nor shall it ever be surpassed by another comedian... Ever.

[PURPLEBEATTIE1]

The wonderful wonderful Peter Sellers,inspector Clouseau.Loved the man.Loved the legend.Thanks for posting this wonderful video

[a3poify]

it has been a hard days night

[dajohnthomas69]

uncomparable to anybody in the present sphere of comedy!

[AliyahAlia]

I LOVE mp3iiffy it WORKS just google mp3iiffy.

[carlosbuscatore]

He looks like John!

[amazingblur]

Incredible

[The64200]

great, awesome and funny...

Comedy at it`s best....

[RockinWithNoStoppin]

I luv him and the song

I'll remember his as clusoe 4eva

[thallassocracy]

EMI didn' t really know what to do with the ferociously talented George Martin - so they put him in charge of Parlophone: an ailing novelty label covering mainly Scottish interest and British comedy talent.

Comedy records were undergoing a minor revival with the likes of Alan Sherman - so Peter Sellers and George Martin revived the English comedy record as a form.

Meanwhile George Martin had signed the Beatles to his new label - all the major labels had turned them down .....

[Lancer67]

Classic Sellers. Miss him dearly. One of the greatest minds of comedy.

[QUEENAbsoluGREATEST]

@Lancer67 well said!!!

[missgreeneyes56]

Just a bit of instruction for the young people there. So spoilt by laughter. Try and get a recording of him doing this in the studio. He was a genius IMHO.

[missgreeneyes56]

This is a parody of Laurence Olivier in Shakespeare's Richard III. Oh, darling, darling Larry.

[folkrockm14]

it's a shame he's gone.he died way to young.god bless him.

[wwillow1]

god the man was so funny....

[saintmirrenmalky]

Peter Sellers is one of the funniest men that ever lived. What an honour it must have been to parodied by man of his genius. This sketch is a timeless classic.

[VideosKey]

@saintmirrenmalky Cesarpolvilho =[ EDU ] Pânico , passou por aqui !

[otoolejw]

Hi-fuckin-larious.

[iamtheblackcrowking]

its like blackadder VS william shatner

[Superman4ever]

Man, I love Sellers!

[sallyfieldrequired]

any one who had ever heard of the beatles would know the phrase 'hard day's night' this is comedy genious

[JeffZHigs1]

if they played this now on tv. People wouldn't really get it. cause you'd need to know the song. kinda sucks in a way.

[Tolstoy111]

People probably wouldn't get it because they would not be familiar with Olivier's Richard III.

[cactaceous]

Consider yourself part of an elite club and fuck all what the new brainwashed generation finds appealing. Works for me, I seek other elite members and laugh at the Sheep.

[563421094]

Pure comedy genius..............

[whatevarrr]

Never get bored of this! Lmfao.

[SeannFitzzy]

Sellers, Cleese, Laurel & Hardy ,, they don't make 'em anymore **

[Charbax]

Awesomeness

[twiggystick]

After more than 40 years, still funny and an amazing take on the Beatles' number. Thanks for post.

[austinbeat]

I think this is an example of humor and timing. Most of England at the time was familiar with Olivier's performance as Richard and Sellers was nailing that. As time goes on the context is lost. Monty Python episodes are entering that category and someday the Simpsons will as well.

[telectroscope]

Thank you for that insight into Sellers' performance ... especially regarding Olivier's portrayal of Richard ... throws an envelope of context around the clip.

Regards

[kcg5000]

they dont make em like sellers anymore

[purelyxperimental]

bwahahahahaha

[softshoes]

ok, that was brilliant.

I always knew the Beatles didn't just write silly pop songs. It just took the genius of Sellers to deliver it properly.

Pffft....Shakespeare ain't got nothing on John and Paul.

[palitodepan123]

hahaha yay!!

long life the b.. the rest of the beatles :)

[xtalmpls]

I don't know why this made me laugh so hard, but it did. Excellent video.

[shuki69]

hilarious.

[fisheyemovies]

comedy genius!
