NTNOCN: "American Express" (1980)

"Put your head between them and go bbl bbl bbl with American Express". This part of the sketch is probably the most well known, after it was used on the "Hedgehog Sandwich" album, so it might suprise some to find this is actually part of a larger sketch with a different punchline. Starring : (in order of appeareance) Rowan Atkinson, Mel Smith (the hand), Pamela Stephenson, and Griff Rhys Jones. (Who also does the voiceover) Incidentelly British Rail's changed a bit since...

Note that this got 260 views within the first 5 minutes of it's posting, probably due to YouTube thumbnailing the midpoint of the vid, which just happens to be when Pamela Stephenson is in full "bbl bbl bbl" mode...

This was a favourite with my husband, sometimes I would whip open my top and say "American Express"?

Pamela Stephenson has to be one of the most amazing triple threat women of all time. Gorgeous/sexy, intelligent and funny. A high point.

@Cool2BCeltic but it's exactly the same sort of thing we see today with the iphone/ipad/kindle: people looking down on other people because they've got the newest piece of technology.

@IndyPendantGames Wouldn't say timeless. Relates very much to 1980s issues.

@stevebritgimp She's also a no-nonsense personality and a hard-line apostle of clean living.

Timeless and brilliant comedy :)
