Markets of Britain, a short film by Lee Titt (via Serafinowicz and Popper)

[toothsayer]

does anyone else notice how much the opening graphic looks like the carpet inside the Stanley Hotel from The Shining?

[DOitTOtheCROWD]

Blue whales. Epic.

[6775077]

20 people were killed by that murderer

[j0gan673]

@6775077 No, 14.

[MrDeepfocus]

so brilliant

[elihuffman1229]

This video went viral on Sao Tome

[franklinrwful]

Titt is actually a real name.

[franklinrwful]

The man in it is the late Jack Hargreaves and I think the film was taken from Out of Town which used to be on South Today and was based in Hampshire and Dorset here in England.

[lakepalmer]

@franklinrwful Thanks for that. I was born in 72 so only have vague memories of Jack. I remember him as a guy showing us how to spoke a wheel and were to find kindling.

[franklinrwful]

This vid is utterly rediculous. It shouldnt be funny. But it is. The metal nipples were a bit too close together for my taste as well.

[bobokk]

Fourteen men he killed. Fourteen

[Stammer6]

I keep losing it when he gets to "Pencils..."

[mikeyxtwinkie]

Fuck yes best video ever

[normypful]

ive watched this so many times never fails to make me chuckle

[stuporstar]

Please do more Lee Titt films, please for the love of god.

[CrunchBogus]

I've seen this a few times, shown by friends, but only now have I looked at the details. I can totally believe that this was made by the guys who brought us LOOK AROUND YOU.

[Ranturisto]

The murderer again! 2:29-2:30

[Edozu]

Pencils. Giant pencils.

[icete93]

I wonder if google maps works on this piece of paper xD

[1adHoc2011]

"..altough, I'm a bit lost - I wonder if Google Maps will work on this piece of paper" xDDD :D Simply awesome!

[JohanGrunwald]

How do you get an idea like this?

[wowthungsten]

@JohanGrunwald If you're not Lee Titt, you can pretty much forget about it.

[fiftyteeth50]

I'm pretty sure this is the greatest thing i've ever seen in my entire life.

[sherbet999]

Erotic.......

[hsiehkristie9]

[lakepalmer]

[daetime]

[joooolya]

i want this guy to narrate my life

[reelife]

bingo. "we've all made a few mistakes, I know I have."

[cscdigitalgraphics]

This is too funny. I wouldn't like metal nipples either. The sarcasm is almost too much.

[JonnySegment]

I liked the blue whales.

[itsmistersmoke]

My god. This has too much class.

[flappospammo]

looks a lot like the shit you find down the portocrappo road

[joshuaoha]

@flappospammo You mean blue whales, giant pencils and human eggs?

[flappospammo]

@joshuaoha

yes , and that's just on the stalls

don't go in the shops - very royston vasey

[wildefloweruk]

Jack Hargreaves is the man.

[verysmartmart]

Actually Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrCoroto]

[smitentertainment]

One of the best documentaries I know.

[msm450937]

Funniest thing I've seen in a long time! Please make more!

[djouroboros]

'I reckon there's about 20,000 in that bundle'. Robert Popper and Peter Serafinowicz, you guys are geniuses. Genii? Genusieis? Geneodes.

[legionary419]

@djouroboros its geniae

[robobob100]

Best deadpan ever.



[killerlady1955]

That has to be one of the funniest things they have ever written. That and 'bumcivilian'.

[IOYC]

@killerlady1955 I agree, but for the sake of us all, let's NOT forget, about the Helvetica Scenario.

[legionary419]

@killerlady1955 you're wrong

[Shelkybean]

I didn't really know what was going on at the start, thought my brother was having a laugh sending me this...but WOW!! what a jem, that had me in stitches!!! Awesome!!!

[legionary419]

You've gotta kill at least 11 men to get the use of the murderers bell. When you reach 22 you get to bang a gong

[apeshitbeats]

[joereney]

[jafwilding]

Very good. Has anyone noticed how many more shots the "murderer" appears in? I think about four.

[craigdstorm]

I'd like to know what the song is throughout the main portion of the video. Anyone?

[kiljadn]

I could do with a bit of butter. Idiots.

[MrHjalmark]

This made me laugh :)

[jaspatrick]

"I'll just give 'im another rub... heh heh"

Brill. Absolutely!

[gorgolyt]

[choochooherecomes]

[Mahocky]

Every time I watch this I end up with a new favourite bit. Today it's the 'Barking Machine'.

'Mini Emu's' is looking good for tomorrow.

[boffo1962]

Anyone know what this film was originally called?

[danwarning]

@boffo1962 Jack Hargreaves' 'Out of Town'

[boffo1962]

@danwarning Thanks!

[rememberme127]

[apkat]

What's this? A snake?  I dunno...

[FatzoMcUgly]

I want a barking machine..

[schwarzemilch]

Lee Titt was obviously a very gifted documentary filmmaker. I learned so much about british markets today! Hope there´s coming more from him soon!

[danscast]

no arms or legs but it's still usable... MMMBBAAAHAHAHA

[xjohnson42]

This is the funniest thing I have seen in a month.

[mynameismark25]

the best part is from 0:00 to 3:32

[Shawnibus]

@mynameismark25 what's wrong with the last second?

[NocturnaLucid]

Reminds one heavily of Look Around You.

[maxkroller]

@NocturnaLucid 'Cause they are made by the same people! :)

[gorgolyt]

@NocturnaLucid same writers

[YRJAY]

Mini Emus...

[privatetune]

i could do with a bit of butter.....idiots...

[jmsoanes]

@bjevansca1 Maybe they were four attempts at being a douche, but sadly, that position is already took up by you, I'm afraid.

[bjevansca1]

@jmsoanes wow....you utilized three post to confirm how gay you are. You could have just said, "Yes, I am a douche, and an obnoxious one at that!", but you want to try to match wits. "Trying to convey your informality through a computerised insult just makes it laughable, and no-one will take it seriously." You seem to take it seriously enough to actually put some thought into composing a drawn out statement that makes you look not triumphant, but as a lonely, anal retentive, nerd who...

[bjevansca1]

@jmsoanes ...spends his time trying to make himself look "educated" and "more literal" by spell checking YouTube posts. Not to mention your adamant need to defend the spelling of your boyfriend's name. Douche.

[jmsoanes]

@bjevansca1 ....of a word as a native pronounces it in their local area? Please, however smart you may think you are, you shouldn't presume that whoever you're insulting isn't educated. Then again, your arrogance is just so typical. Maybe those variations of the words are "accepted" around the internet, but yet again they are just pointless here. Trying to convey your informality through a computerised insult just makes it laughable, and no-one will take it seriously.

[jmsoanes]

@bjevansca1 Oh what a shame, you were so, so close to making a good comeback, but unsurprisingly, you made some shameful mistakes yet again!

For a start, knowing how to spell his name does not make me gay, just more literate than you. Even the people that hate him most know how to spell his name you idiot. Second, I realised that you misspelled the word 'shit', but it was so pointless. Misspelling doesn't make it any more effective. Colloquialism? You mean the varied spelling......

[asmitty1979]

I'll give it another rub hehehe...

[sacrimentu]

idiots

peed my pants

[greaserleo]

This is comedy genius!

[boffo1962]

What was the original version of this film called?

[skint24]

"There he is, ringing his murderers bell."

[TheGeekEvan]

So glad they finaly posted this, I nearly cryed laughing so hard when they played it at comic-con

[jmsoanes]

@bjevansca1

*Bieber.

*Shit.

*Jumping.

*Cleaning.

Four spelling mistakes there. Not bad, not bad...

[bjevansca1]

@jmsoanes LOL Here we go:

1) You're gay for knowing how to spell his name.

2) I misspelled "shit" on purpose

3) "Jumpin'" and "cleanin'": colloquialism (kind of a big word you; look it up) and less formal speech/type is not only the norm, but is highly accepted among the cyber community. Obviously you understood what I was saying.

4) You're actually spell checking a post?

Four successful attempts a being a douche! Not bad, not bad...

[JamWtree]

@bjevansca1 give up you wanker..

[bjevansca1]

@JamWtree suck a bag of baby dicks...

[TwoGiantPaintBubbles]

his laugh at 1:16 is classic

[ringtond]

arghahahahaha thats class...

[MovingPixTV]

Peter you absolute legend... more! I WANT MORE!!!!

[snipz]

@sdaonline...it's Jack Hargreaves (OBE), Southern TV legend. My dad knew him well and as a kid I was starstruck whenever I met him. If still alive today he'd crack up at this, he had a great sense of humour...

[franklinrwful]

@snipz such a shame he never saw it.

[mangercratie1]

a couple of blue whales.

[AgujaAzulMD]

This looks like it would be so fun, going to do an everyday activity, filming it, then narrating it to make it completely ridiculous.

[scrutley]

My God. I have not genuinely cried laughing from a video in a very long time

[abbath1586]

These two lads are in trouble. Been caught stealing apples, about to be crusified. Get on with it.

[Punchbear]

I saw a dog looking up in this one. Ace.

[faltat2]

thumbs up if Rainn Wilson sent you here :)

[Jarren202]

Just thought of something. Imagine Peter & Robert collaborating with David Firth (fat-pie).

ITCOSTSNOTLOTS

[Jarren202]

man's not looking...

i'll 'ave these

[KoolDudester]

this is amazing

[GasFlash]

Its sad. Sad to think that the BBC feels that Peter and Popper don't have anything to offer the world of comedy and demonstrated as much by not commissioning a new series of The Peter Serafinowicz show, which was one of the best comedy sketch shows out of britain for a long time! This short skit, Markets of Britain, is down right, pound for pound, absolute gold!

Come on 'the Beeb' and Tv in general, have a go on a sex robot!

[Jarren202]

@GasFlash Yes, especially when you see the amount of tripe that the BBC actually DO commission.

It's been said so much already that it's a cliche, but not everyone wants to watch repeats of "Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps" (not that anyone wanted to watch it in the first place).
