Your "funniest" AYBS? moment !!!!!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Tell us your AYBS? moment that still, after all these watchings make you giggle like a little girl. We all have many I'm sure so share them with us !!!!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

One of my funniest moments is when Humphries is showing the customer the Japanese robe in "Hoorah For The Holidays" and he HI-Ya's him.... After seeing that scene 1000 times, it still gets me to laugh out loud !!!!http://lordgreg.minki.net/lol.gif

[DuranFan]

One of the funniest moments on AYBS (that I can remember right now) would have to be:

SLOCOMBE "No one is shouting up my skirt saying they recognize the face!"

And all the times when Humphries would walk on last in some ridiculous outift/costume :lol:

CLASSIC!

[frankdicer]

It may not be the funniest but its one of my all time favs:

Mr. Harmon explaining to Rumbold how he is 'oovering up the dust.....
and ending with the quote, "Now, if goblin had been first in the business,
I'd be gobblin' up the dust!"

[mrsslocombe]

I have too many favorties but I would have to say "German Week" when Mrs . Slocombe is drunk is one of my favorites.

[Miss Brahms]

one of my faves was in By Appointment when the royal couple was about to enter Grace Brothers and Mrs. Slocombe knocked off the plant. I think Miss Brahms should have been made a senior right after they found Mrs. Slocobe's body. :lol:

[Very Young Mr Grace]

My favorite is the scene in "Camping Out" when Mrs. Slocombe talks about meeting her husband during an air raid in the war.

"Look out, here comes a big one!"

Classic !! :D

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Another one of my funniest moments is from "Top Hats and Tails" when Humphries and Peacock are dancing towards the camera and Humphries puts the rose in his teeth !!!!!http://lordgreg.minki.net/lol.gif

[Old Mr. Grace]

My favorite moment is at the very end of "Strong Stuff, This Insurance" when Mr. Harman is giving a report on YMG's office furniture with the staff listening outside.

Mr Harman: ". . . a bit of dry rot in the legs, and the knobs going to fall off." :lol:

[missmacinthorpe]

In "Front Page Story" during the beauty contest, when contest emcee Peacock sees contestant E. Slocombe (dressed like Miss Kitty on "Gunsmoke" or something) and asks, "Would you like to tell the judges your name and what planet you come from?"

Miss Jackson

[sonosun]

From the Hero when Mrs Slocombe tells Miss Brahms that today is a special day and Miss Brahms says what's so special about it and Mrs Slocombe says,"Today's the day my pussy comes of age. :shock:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

In "Front Page Story" during the beauty contest, when contest emcee Peacock sees contestant E. Slocombe (dressed like Miss Kitty on "Gunsmoke" or something) and asks, "Would you like to tell the judges your name and what planet you come from?"

That one kills me too Miss Jackson !!!! Especially when she kicks him !!!

[Mr. Harmon]

My all time favorite moment was an obvious ad-lib (obvious from the reaction of the rest of the staff that they had to edit the film LOL).

I can't remember the title of the epidsode, but it's the one where they're experimenting with the early opening scheme.

Mr. Grainger say's "How do arrive at that hypothesis?"
Mr Lucas: "What?"
Mr. Grainger "I wont say that again, my teeth are caught up in this damned custard" http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v185/Amino-X/AYBS%20Emoticons/emotlol.gif

[sonosun]

I like when Mrs Slocombe in goodbye Mrs Slocombe takes on the job of cleaner to stay at Grace Brothers and comes in dressed in a head scarf and with a gigarette dangling from her lip. :D

[Lucas The Tucas]

MMMMMM

Depends which day it is...

There are two:

In Dear Sexy Knickers: at the last Mrs. S and Mr. L. being a Naughty Boy...

In A Change is as Good AS A Rest: the crew in Mr. R.'s office having a heated discussion on who gets to do what with which Toys...

And a runner-up is: the fight between Mrs. S. as the wife and Miss B. as the mistress...

Lucas :D

[wolf_fire186]

Let's see, I have a lot too.

The scene in "The Takeover" where the souffle goes out of control, the Yorkshires go flat, the eel is as stiff as a board, and Mr. Humphries has a blowed up hat.

A lot of scenes from "A Change Is As Good As A Rest."
For instance, "My name is Jasmine and I have just been to the potty." The great fun that Mr. Humphries has in Wibblywobblyland. When the small mechanical dog climbs onto another mechanical dog.

I also like the classic scene in Anything You Can Do" when that frog appears in young Mr. Graces's soup.

That's all I can think of for now.

I like the aftermath of the fracas with Bertie The Bulldog as well. :lol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

The special effects guys were pretty good at doing some of this stuff, weren't they ?????

[sonosun]

The BBC Props Department did a wonderful job. Particularly in making the CDUs look kind of cheap.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I think that was to be part of the charm... How about the "Pussy Boots" display with a cat bigger than a German Shepard ?????? :lol:

[sonosun]

I love all of the CDUs,but PussyBoots is my favorite.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

The funniest to me would either be the "IF You Want To Get Ahead Get A Hat" display OR "The Cami-shirt" OR "The Sensi-Touch".

[sonosun]

The funniest to me would either be the "IF You Want To Get Ahead Get A Hat" display OR "The Cami-shirt" OR "The Sensi-Touch".


The Pussy's head popping up and the smoke still kill me.

[wolf_fire186]

Concerning the CDUs. That cat from the Pussyboots display was THE UGLIEST cat I have ever seen. Harmon & Mrs. slocombe inferred that it had once been alive and is now stuffed. If so, I'm glad I never got a chance to meet it.
The charm of the CDUs was that they were always defective. Remember when the CDU playing the Nutcracker Suite goosed Capt. Peacock? That was hilarious.

[sonosun]

The one that used to have a soccor boot on the end of it ???? :lol:
Yes, you are right... That was hilarious !!!

[Very Young Mr Grace]

Who could forget the store display of Young Mr. Grace tipping his hat?

"Welcome to my Store"
"Welcome to my Store

Then the display pulls off the entire head !! :lol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

O.K. VYMG... You got us on that one... That was HILARIOUS !!!!!

[mrsslocombe]

One of my favortie CDU's was the Santa who said "Ho-Ho Ho Little Boy ,have I got a surprise for you " and opened up his robe and was naked underneath . I loved when it did that to Mr. Humphries and he fainted.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

That was very twisted indeed... but still funny !!!!! :lol:

[sonosun]

I roll on the floor when Rumbold and Peacock get into it. Rumbold: I may seem a good-natured person but I must warn you I'm capable of blowing my top.
Peacock:Judging by the appearence you've already blown it!
:lol: :lol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

One of my favorite funny scenes was one I just watched and would be #2 on my list !!!!
From "Happy Returns" when Peaock (as the soldier) pulls the reigns of his horse and the tail lifts up to hit Lucas (Little Boy Blue) right in the ...well... you know.....
I HOWL at that one !!!!!!

[sonosun]

I love that one myself. The silly looking prop horse and Mr Lucas in those tights and then wham right in the Gentlmen's department. :lol: :lol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

The way Lucas jumps up and screams is the topper !!!!

[sonosun]

It's as if the horse had really hurt him. :o

[Lucas The Tucas]

Mr. Rumbold and Miss Belfridge in bed in Friends and Neighbours in front of Mrs. Rumbold...

Lucas :D

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Miss Comloise calling Mrs. Slocombe a "Silly Old Bitch" as she walks out the door gets a laugh out of me !!!
So does Miss Comloise saying not to clean your glasses with the twoels because you'll get "frosted lenses" !!!!!http://lordgreg.minki.net/lol.gif

[dazzlestar14]

It's so difficult to pick the top funniest moment, but one of my tops would have to be the Coco Club Commercial bit. Mrs. Slocombe and Capt. Peacock are dancing with a barstool attached to her rear, Mr. Rumbold is making obscene noises with his accordian, and Mr.Grace is spilling champagne all over the place. Lots to laugh about in that scene for sure!

[Catherine]

I have two STAND-OUT favorites among hundreds, and they are when the men have to undress for their insurance exam in Strong Stuff this Insurance. When Lucas glances down at Captain Peacock's "equipment," he grins maliciously and quite obviously relaxes and is quite proud of his "equipment" in comparison. Add to that the hilarity when Mr. Humphries comes in and has to undress, and then Miss Brahms and Mrs. Slocombe come in and threaten to take a peek! :lol:

The other favorite is when the staff are all down in the basement "decorating" for The Club. That whole episode is wrought with funnies, especially when Mr. Harmon loses the tea tray three or four times, and also does the "spin trick" with that two by four on his head.

Catherine

[Very Young Mr Grace]

Who could forget when Young Mr. Grace gets stuck and the lift and comments to Mr. Rumbold "You've got odd socks on" during the birthday song? :lol:

[Lucas The Tucas]

Mr. Lucas with his hand full in Cold Store...

Mr. H. in Bliss Girl in a coat and high heels...

Lucas :P

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Mr. Lucas with his hand full in Cold Store...

Mr. H. in Bliss Girl in a coat and high heels...

Lucas :P
Two great situations !!!!! I'd like to add from "A Bliss Girl" when Humphries is stuffing the dummy's bra, and it pops off !!!!:lol2:

[Very Young Mr Grace]

We can't forget during "His and Hers" when the tape recorded voice of the man comes on, advertising the scent, and Mr. Humphries sits up and takes notice! :D

[I'm free!]

My favorite is when a woman customer couldn't decide which fur coat to purchase so she asked Mrs. Slocombe and Mr. Humphries to model the coats for her. The way Mr. Humphries walked in the coat makes me laugh every time I see it! :lol:

Yes, that's exactly what I meant! Too funny! :D :lol: :)

[Miss Whimsey]

The moment in "Tangled Web" when Mrs. Slocombe says, referring to Mrs. Peacock's jealousy, "I noticed she didn't react that way when she thought it (Cpt. Peacock's bit of fluff) was me." And in a fabulous camera angle over her shoulder, Mr. Lucas deadpans - "Funny that." Brilliant!

I got a great Wallie of that one !!!! :wink:

[Goldie]

Please forgive my ignorance when it comes to remembering the names of each eppy... :shrug: Old age I guess.. Anyway, my favorite moment is at the end of one eppy where Miss Brahms asks Mr. Lucas if he still fancies the unsatisfied virgin, and he says that he's game if she is.. :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

[sonosun]

Old age I guess..

The longer you hang around here the younger you'll get! :mrgreen:

[Dick]

Ah yes, good old "Big Brother" with Mr. Rumbold's surveilance camera fixation. Miss Brahms spots the suspicious gent in the trousers section, remarking, "Ooh, I wouldn't want to bump into him in a dark alley." To which our dear Mr. Humphries replies without missing a beat, "Oh, I don't know..."

:lol:

Dang!!! I was just about to put that in myself.....I liked the part when for the
second time, they blow the wind up Miss Brahms skirt and Mr. Tebb's let's her
have it on the bum with a paste brush......giggles....

That one would make a fantastic "Is He Or Isn't He" entry !!!!!http://lordgreg.minki.net/thumbup.gif

[sonosun]

That would make a great scene. Mr Glegg being taken by surprise by Mr Humphries from the rear.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

That one would make a fantastic "Is He Or Isn't He" entry

That would make a great scene. Mr Clegg being taken by surprise by Mr Humphries from the rear.

Well remember, Humphries said he wouldn't mind meeting Mr. Clegg in a dark alley !!!!:lol2:

[Miss Whimsey]

Several moments here, but in general, it's always a blast to see Mr. Humphries and Mr. Lucas humming or singing together. Think of the two of them humming in "Tangled Web" to divert Captain Peacock's suspicions or in " Mrs. Slocombe Expects" when Miss Brahms comes in as the mystery shopper -they hum a stripper theme for her. And of course their wonderful part of "Happy Birthday" in "Fifty Years On." I think there are others, but I can't remember them all off hand. Even when they say or do things in tandem it's terrific - looking up from the floor in "Diamonds" - "Are you being served, Sir?" , or "'Heiling' Mr. Grainger in "Forward, Mr. Grainger." Too funny!

Miss Whimsey

[Very Young Mr Grace]

We still don't know what Mrs. Slocombe's birthday gift was in "50 Years On." It shall always remain a mystery...... :shrug:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

From "The Hold Up" when Tony and Ma Gumby are dangling the Inspector out the window by his feet (the dummy) and all they are left with are his legs !!!!!!! :lol2:

I think David and I like that one too. "Well!! Whaddayahknow!! He gotta falsea legs!" :lol: And carrying on from The Hold Up my fave is:

"Why don't you come down and see me?"

"Don't you mean come UP and see you?"

"No...I live in the BASEMENT..."

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

From "No Sale" when Slocombe is doing her 21, Blonde Hair, blue eyes bit on the phone to Rumbold and Peacock is standing behind her. That scene just had me laughing out loud...AGAIN !!!! Especially when she hangs up saying... "Goodbye Ethel !!! "

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Maybe Mrs. Axelby's first name ????? :shrug:

So sad we'll never know who Ethel was.

It was just a name of a friend or even a random name Mrs. S. pulled out of a hat to cover herself when Peacock caught her on the phone. The name "Ethel" isn't the most attractive name in the book, which added a laugh. Also..I have a theory the writers may have been using the Lucy/Ethel connection....with those two acting as foils for one another. Having Mrs. S. with a friend named "Ethel" was a gentle reminder that misery loves company when you're in hot water, in a sitcom. Back on topic, one of my fave moments takes place in the canteen:

:lucas01: SUGAR...Mrs. Slocombe??

:slocombe01: I'd like TWO BIG ONES!

Verry Verry well!

THere are just so many funny bits in AYBS? Every episode. That's why even a dog of an episode(pick your favorite...dog that is), there are some who find much to be amused about.

But this one is one of my favorites especially the Londonderry Air part.

[dazzlestar14]

I know this isn't one of the funniest bits, but in a very early episode, "The Think Tank" I think, when there is all the commotion about bowler hats and seniority. At the beginning, Mr.Humphries goes to take Capt.Peacock's hat to the lost & found, but the man in charge of the lost & found had lost the key! :lol: It's such a minor thing, yet I found it so funny!

There nothing wrong with that Dazz. I find the little stuff the funniest sometimes myself. The way Humphries acts so flaming sometimes gets a chuckle out of me. When cast members simply roll their eyes, the expressions on their faces when responding to another cast members comments. That's what makes the show so great. It doesn't have to be in your face to be funny.
Going back to the "Ethel" scene with Slocombe. When she is doing the "long blonde hair" bit and Peacock is standing behind her... it's hilarious just to look at his facial expressions. The way his eyes goes up and down her body and get real big. It's just funny !!!

Both Captain Peacock and Mr. Humphries have great eye work, and I was going to put Mrs. Slocombe a distant third, but the more I thought about it, I've have to give her equal billing, some of those close-up of hers are priceless.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I love Slocombe's "Rhino Face" when she gets ticked off. That is hilarious !!!!:lol2:

[dazzlestar14]

I have to agree there! My favourite is in "Oh What A Tangled Web", when she gives that priceless look when Mr.Lucas says "Funny that!" :lol:

(Thank you to Tiddles for the episode correction!)

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I have to agree there! My favourite is in "It Pays to Advertise", when she gives that priceless look when Mr.Lucas says "Funny that!" :lol:

Mrs. Slocombe: :I notice she didn't burst into tears when she thought it was me!!"

Lucas: Funny, that.
:mrgreen:

[LadyAppleby]

I love all the little moments. What a great thread! :mrgreen:

One of my favorite little chuckles is when Mrs. Slocombe is Little Alice Age 8 and is crawling into the cot, and Mr. Lucas does something rude (I can't remember if he makes some wisecrack or tries to boost her in), and she tells him "I'll smack your legs in a minute!".

Or, from the same episode, where she comes out in the LAA8 costume, explaining that she couldn't fit into the Miss Muffett costume, and Mr. Humphries asks her "what makes you think you fit into Little Alice Age 8?".

:lol:

By the way, does anyone know if script books are available anywhere? I want to try an experiment, by taking funny scenes and replacing character names with characters from other TV shows. I want to see how funny it would (or wouldn't) be to have, say, the guys from CSI discussing Mrs. Slocombe's cat's pregnancy. But I need the complete scripts.

He pushes against Little Alice age 4's butt to hoist her in the crib then makes the comment that "That's how they trap hippopatumus's.

Not that I know of and I don't understand why. Other BBC shows have them. I have an AYBS? book called "Camping In and other fiascos" that novelizes a few of the stories but that's as close to anything like a script that I've come across.

[dazzlestar14]

That would be amazing if they would come up with a book like that. You can't always remember some of the lines, and it would be a lot easier than having to grab the dvd's each time you want to hear them.

[Very Young Mr Grace]

One of my favorite episodes is "The Old Order Changes".

"I like you Stephen."

"And I like you too, Cuthbert."

VYMG, that episode was blasted full of hilarious lines. I can't go for 2 minutes without rolling on the floor with laughter while watching it!

My personal favorite:
Mr.Humphries: "Sweet dreams Cuth!"

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Miss Brahms - " We don't have to kiss you do we ?? "

Mr. Rumbold - " No. "

Mrs. Slocombe - " Thank Heaven for that !! "

a favourite line for me was in the hold up...
Slocombe: Just dangle it out of the window! :)

Don't move, you man you. Cover your body with me. You're sophisticated and dangerous. You're slightly aloof...

Mr. Lucas: Bald as a coot with only one tooth.
Male voice on tape: Stay just where you are. Don't move a muscle.
Mr. Lucas: She's wearing a tin bra and starch in her bustle.
Male voice on tape: If you want a real "he-man," you'll find I'm a killer.
Mr. Lucas: With a face like yours, you'll end up with Guy the Gorilla.

Young Mr. Grace: Well it sounds like me.

Mrs. Slocombe: There you are, madam: I hope the garment gives every satisfaction! :D

Corset Customer: And you really think this type of corset will keep my figure under control? :oops:

Mrs. Slocombe: Well, the stiffeners are the best quality whale bone! :P

My favorite moment is at the very end of "Strong Stuff, This Insurance" when Mr. Harman is giving a report on YMG's office furniture with the staff listening outside.

Mr Harman: ". . . a bit of dry rot in the legs, and the knobs going to fall off." :lol:

I love that whole scene - I think it's very very clever writing. That scene always makes me laugh out loud.

one of my funniest moments actually comes in an eppy that doesn't have grainger. i absolutely love the final scene in strong stuff this insurance where the appraiser reads off the descriptions of the furniture and the staff thinks its their results from the physicals. their facial expressions and the mental pictures you get crack me up everytime time.

another one is in hoorah for the holiday when rumbold says the water is just forty minutes away from the hotel and lucas shouts of BY JET!!. with that grimace on his face, it gets me lauging to the point of tears.

but my favorite is from camping in when mrs. slocombe describes being thrown flat on her back in clapham common, thats a classic
