What's your favorite Mrs. Slocombe drunken moment?

[Dear_Sexy_Knickers]

I won't make this a poll, because I think she was drunk too many times to fit into a poll :lol: Especially since I'm counting both the times where she was visibly drunk on the show and her tales of her exploits at/leaving the pub (with or without Mrs. Axelby) after a few too many. :slocombe:

Off the top of my head, ones that stand out for me are in "the clock," where she says "that escalator will do someone a mischief," and the part in "The erotic dreams of Mrs. Slocombe" when they are at the ballet and she doesn't notice Mr. Humphries putting his hand on her leg because she's so drunk on liqueur chocolates. :drunktest:
The scene before the dance in German week was pretty funny too. Mrs. Slocombe made a great lush :lol:

Her explanations for her drunken state always crack me up too ("the hat must be too tight," "I think one of those crisps must have been bad," etc.)

[Tiddles]

I actually did a poll on this on our old board. It's a fun topic.. I love them all, of course. But I think her staggering down the steps in "The Clock" was priceless. "That escalator's going to do someone a mischief!"
:theclock: :grainger01: :slocombe: This scene required Mollie to use her Lucille Ball talents at physical comedy.

[Captain Peacock's Carnation]

The Clock was a great episode! Best Mrs. Slocombe drunk moment was when she tried to ask Captain Peacock to "Trip the light fantastic". It came out all garbled and when Peacock says, "I beg your pardon?" Mr. Humphries replies, "She wants you to rip her tight elastic!"

[offthefloor]

the clock has got to be my alltime favorite in this category, both of the above ones are awesome. but i also like the scene where gets of the liquor chocoloates in the erotic dreams of mrs slocombe, its not my best eppy otherwise, but i like that scene very much

[Tiddles]

"Erotic Dreams" is an ep that gets the bum's rush round these parts but I like it. It gives Wendy something to do! People forget that. This ep also gets quoted incorrectly quite frequently. It's not "Squirrel NUTKING". Mrs. Slocombe recalls the Beatrix Potter story "Squirrel NUTKIN" in her dream.

I agree with Tiddles on this and I am unanimous in that.:083:

:slochead: "Captain Peacok, looks like we'll be able to trip the tight lanfastic."
:peacock01: "I beg your pardon."
:humphries01: "She wants you to rip her tight elastic."

"The Clock" has to be my very favorite drunk moment for Mrs. Slocombe.

[dazzlestar14]

All of her drunk scenes are incredible, but I think she shines the most in "The Clock". I especially love the part where she stands up to give a speech at the dinner. :emotlol:

[Diana Yarswick]

I like in the Erotic Dreams where she says
I'm taking my slimming pills only I can't bear the taste of plain tonic. That's why I'm putting gin and lemon in.

[Ms. Laurie]

"Cold Store" is great. When Rumbold states that he can smell "rum and peppermint". I crack up when she tries to explain that she thought Mr. Lucas could use it after he "fell" down the stairs and then realizes her thermos is empty!:beerchug:

[Lucas The Tucas]

The Clock ... Set the standard, for her.

Next best is Erotic Dreams, then Greman Week.

And they are all Great ! http://www.boomspeed.com/gypsymuse/HnH/emoDrink.gif

That's pretty much my top 3 too, though I'd rank drunken German dancing over drunken molestation of Mr. Humphries :D

Well darn you picked all the ones I would have and lets not forget on GAF when she got very tipsy after coming back from "stealing" the gypsy cart and the one where they went to the pub and got challenged to a game of darts. Oh yes and the one where they had to muck in together to do all the chores of a regular staff and Miss Lovelock was giving Mr. Rumbold suggestions on how a hotel staff should run and she wound up drinking a very large snifter of brandy. I think I got all the ones where she was very drunk in GAF. I might be mistaken. :love: Oh and for excuses I can't remember which one she said this but she said she got a crisp caught in her throat and had to have a few gin and tonics to wash it down and then the one where she got good and drunk in the store when trying to keep from getting a cold and she gets one any way. Except in that episode she started out with brandy in her cereal and then she draink mint and pep or something like that in a thermos. I think that episode might have been called Cold Store????

You got it. ;)

[Miss Percivale]

I loved the part in "Cold Store" when she says "Hey you little foreign bodies, get a load of this!"

[Sir Humphries]

I wonder why they never gave Mrs. Slocombe any drunken moments in Grace & Favour.:shrug:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

By then she immuned to the alcohol !!! :lol: :lol:

[LovelyMissShirleyBrahms]

I have three favorite Mrs. Slocombe drunken moments and that's the scenes in the episodes of, "German Week." "Do You Take This Man?" and "The Erotic Dreams Of Mrs. Slocombe." They were all hilarious which made me LMAO. :lol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

OK, now that we are on the subject... one thing I've always wondered about. In "Erotic Dreams" in one of her drunken stupors, she makes mention of stepping out to buy a packet of "crissops". What are "crissops" ?? Is she trying to drunkenly say "crisps" ???

[Sir Humphries]

I always thought she was trying to say croissants. But why they would come in a packet is beyond me.

[Lucas The Tucas]

Dear LMSB,

Did you like The Clock ? :mashhead:

That was also very GOOD !

She's over-enunciating the word "crisps" to compensate for the tendency to slur one's words while drunk, trying to convince Mr. Rumbold that she's still sober.

[Miss Whimsey]

Some of my favorite drunken Slocombe moments are the ones that happened off-screen. I love all the falling down incidents with Mrs. Axelby because of "a crack in the sidewalk" or because of shoes "with anklestraps." Both are plausible excuses but we really know it's because Axelby and Slocombe were completely tanked. It's so rich how Slocombe tries to play it off. I also love Mr. Humphries' description to Mr. Lucas about the company coach trips- he says something like "You can see Mrs. Slocombe going home kaylied." I always wished we had an episode that had them on one of those trips.

Me too !!! A Grace Brothers outing (besides The Movie) would have been great !!!!

[Lucas The Tucas]

This is a very good one too. :)

[Lady Stableforth]

The Clock episode was good especially when she had 4 vodka martinis before arriving! and Ms. Brahms saying "i think you've had enough!"

[Queen Pudding]

German Week and The Clock are my faves

[Lady Stableforth]

:wine::slocombe:

[Dean]

A while ago but I agree with Tiddles about Erotic Dreams - that's a good fun eppy

[Bionic Grainger]

I love it when she passes out from drinking chocolate liquers. What a way to go.......

[Melchett]

"I was just giving some to Mr. Lucas. To revive him. Oh... there's none left!" :slochead:

[Miss Humphries]

Even more so would have been an eppy of one of the ill fated Christmas parties! Blemonge (sp?) in Miss Pickthorne's cleavage, all the blowtickling, Cpt. Peacock with the wastepaper basket on his head doing his impression of the Man in the Iron Mask.....

Those are the top 3 for me too in that order. I was always amazed how she could go down the steps that fast!

[cpl.er...Capt. Joe]

It has to be "The Clock" but the prize goes to Mr. Humphries line -- "She wants you to rip her tight elastic."

That line is truly a classic. :lol:
