Your Funniest Moment

[daft boy]

Which one scene leaves you rolling on the floor laughing so hard you can't catch your breath?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++





When Captain Peacock pulled the horse's reins and got Mr. Lucas in the privates when the tail went up


that'll make yer taters boil over!

[Eva]

I always seem to laugh when, in the Christmas special - The Father Christmas Affair, Wendy Richard begins laughing whilst speaking, and the reactions of the people around her, not actually a moment in the script, but still funny altogether.

[minki]

Usually any scene where Mr. Humphries comes in wearing a costume does it for me.

[Captain Peacock's Carnation]

The one that gets me every time is the expression on Mollie's face as she says, "Will that be all Captain Peacock" after he has just recited his doggerel about the Barmaid from Sale. :slochead1:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

This one here has to be my #2 !!!!!

http://lordgreg.minki.net/images/lucashorse3.gif

And my all time funniest AYBS? Moment is Humphries doing his "HiYa !!!" Karate Chop from "Hoorah For the Holiday." :emotlol:

[LovelyMissShirleyBrahms]

The dinner event scene in Takeover was hysterical. When the first time I saw that eppy, I nearly had tears in my eyes for laughing so hard at it.

[Lmsbartow]

Ohhh. . .there are so many funny scenes. The one that cracks me up is the one where they are learning to dance. Mr Humphries has asked a lady friend of his to give them a lesson. Mrs Slocum and Miss Brahms are in tutus and the men are wearing leotards.

[adamclark83]

One of the scenes that used to make me really laugh at night was the Happy Brithday singing practice in "Fifty Years On", escpecially when Humphries and Lucas come back and Lucas says "We don't think we can get the top 'er."

[froggie]

who can pick just one?!

in Fire practice, when humphries looks up the chute after slocombe is stuck there - the way he laughs!

similar, when they were taking the medical, naked and he peered around the barrier, screamed and ran off

"where did you get these injections, miss brahams?" - "in me bum!"

when peacock was out on the ledge and replied to his wife "what do you think i'm doing out here, silly bitch!"

in the Apartment, "mr humphries!?" "LUCAS!" - "thanks heavens for that!" (and goes back to sleep)

in slocombes 50th birthday, where peacock puts his arm around harmon (who gives a worried look), and asks him for a contribution for her birthday. harmon's response is "i'm not allowed on the floor during opening hours" (and he walks away)

the whole "dick" dialogue about Lucas's real name, especially when humphries keeps mentioning the name

granger's gastric "oh damn!" responses

the whole 'boil on the bum' conversation in the Hero. first, when miss brahams says in a straight tone "i didnt notice any boil on his thumb".. then when slocombe whispers it again, she starts laughing. also in that part, when they're in the canteen cracking subtle jokes about it. especially when Lucas starts bouncing up and down to show how to test the rubber ring peacock was sitting on.

and a last favourite, i think it was in the Apartment, when peacock talks about his throat condition with the high sped up voice. then humphries comes accusing him of taking the piss!

[adamclark83]

Another one would have to from "It Pays to Advetise" where:
Brahms: Wouldn't it be easier if he shouted up her skirt?
Slocombe: No one is shouting up my skirt saying they recognise the face.

[Eva]

Another one for me would be in The Appartment when Mr. Humphries goes to pat Mrs. Slocombes cat, but it hisses, causing Mrs. Slocombe to call out...

"Mr. Humphries! Leave My Pussy Alone!"

It is a hilarious line, but Mr. Lucas' and Captain Peacock's facial expressions make me laugh so much harder.

[luvtrevor]

Probably my single funniest moment was in "Fifty Years On" when Rumbold was trying to teach the staff just how to sing 'Happy Birthday'. Put feeling on the 'you'. LOL

Rumbold: Happy Birthday to YOU. Happy Birthday to YOU. Happy Birthday DEAR err err. And then the grand finale, Happy Birthday to YOU.

Nicholas Smith's delivery was perfect and really makes me laugh when I hear him say all that!

[LovelyMissShirleyBrahms]

The canteen scene in "The Hero" was really funny about Captain Peacock's boil on his bum. :lol:

[Diana Yarswick]

http://www.gracebrothers.net/ChristmCrack05.jpg

This gets me roflmao every time!

[Agent4711]

I'd like to second Diana's opinion. The first time I saw that, I fell off the couch.

[Eva]

I agre with LMSB, that was hilarious, and when Mr. Humhpries spat out his coffee over the table i alwas end up laughing so hard it hurts.

Can I have two?
Just after Miss Brahms talks herself into Mrs Slocombe's bed, She asks Mr Humphries, "Are you disappointed or relieved?
He: "I'm neither one way or the other."
She: "I'm afraid that's the way you're still going to be in the morning."
That subtle double entendre is my favourite!:emotlol:

[Melchett]

What about...

"Your name sir"

"Ernest Grainger"

From Takeover :D

I really laugh at that as well.

"Ernest Grainger"

From Takeover :D

Spot on, Melchett!!! I think it's so funny too because Mr. Lucas starts cracking up a little when he asks him his name.
And the fact Mr. Grainger's wig is on crooked!! :lol:

MBeryl

p.s. Can you keep a secret, Melchett? ;)

I'm totally in love Stephen Fry :love: Probably not something many women would say, especially since we don't have a snowball's chance in hell..... :)

You know, for years I had no idea about him! Talk about well-kept secrets! :yes:

[Madam Beryl]

Hi Minki,

The minute I saw him as Jeeves.........OMG!!! I went right to the internet to see if he was married. Well, I'm sure you can imagine what I found there... :(
But I'm still smitten! He's a wonderful and talented actor.....not to mention being big and cuddly!
Check him out as Peter Kingdom....

:wave: MB

[Mr Axelby]

"If you are going to prevaricate with me, then I shall kick you right in the middle of the Gentlemen's Department."
--Mrs. Peacock, from "What a Tangled Web" (which also happens to be my favorite episode)

[offthefloor]

my all time favorite's:

Lucas yelling By Jet!!! in hoorah for the holidays
the scene in mrs slocombe senior person when humphries and lucas are meacsuring slocombe for her suit
and mrs. slocombe falling down the stairs in the clock

[Madam Beryl]

Last night, The Hold Up was on...... I can't believe that the two guys who played the crooks didn't get awards (especially the big tall one) for not busting out laughing at Mr. Humphries as Italian Tony.
I almost split a gut last night when Italian Tony grabs the big guy by his lapels and pulls him down to face him (you can see the big guy is ready to laugh his head off) and then Tony pulls out that fan and playfully slaps him across the face with it........"You no speaka to my papa lika that. Otherwise I spread you across the wall lika jam." LOL

[Eva]

p.s. Can you keep a secret, Melchett? ;)

I'm totally in love Stephen Fry :love: Probably not something many women would say, especially since we don't have a snowball's chance in hell..... :)

I know it's not a snowball, but it's similar :lol:

So you may get you're chance. Hey! Anything's possible :lol:

[Evey]

There a so many great moments

One of my favs is in 'Big brother' with Mr Humphries and Mr Lucas

'Are you sure we're safe here?'
'Lower your voice'
(Deep) 'Are you sure were safe here?!'

I love the whole 'Happy Birthday practice' in fifty years on too. I think my favourite part is -

Capt. Peacock - 'So what a we going to sing now, Er, Er Er, Er Er Er, or Er Er Er Er?'
Mr Rumbold 'Er...'
Mr Lucas '- 'That'll do for me!'
:lol:


Btw on the OT discussion, I totally see it Madam Beryl, Stephen Fry is so adorable and so intelligent, I love him as Peter Kingdom and also on QI too. ;)

I didn't mean to bring it up in this area of the forum. I apologize.
But I lost it when I saw the picture of Melchett!!

Maybe us girls (or whoever) can get a thread started in the Off Topic section about which Brits "tickle our fancy!"

A PREVIEW:

My heart never fails to speed up when I see Mr. Humphries,
Edmund Blackadder II and anything Stephen Fry :love:

[Evey]

I didn't mean to bring it up in this area of the forum. I apologize.

I hope you didnt think I was complaining, or trying to offend you, because I really wasn't. :) I think having a thread for Brits who Tickle our fancy is a great idea, I could name a few too! :thumbup:

Oh no, Evey...I wasn't thinking that at all. :)

But there are some forums I used to belong to that were very strict about posting things in the wrong catagory. They would get down right nasty. That's why I don't post there anymore.

Yes, let's get a "tickle our fancy" thread started ASAP........ :lol:

Just did!

[Cat_Lover]

Another one for me would be in The Appartment when Mr. Humphries goes to pat Mrs. Slocombes cat, but it hisses, causing Mrs. Slocombe to call out...

"Mr. Humphries! Leave My Pussy Alone!"

It is a hilarious line, but Mr. Lucas' and Captain Peacock's facial expressions make me laugh so much harder.

I love that line. I watched "The Apartment" last night. It doesn't matter how many times I watch that episode; that line never fails to get me laughing. :emotlol::emotlol::emotlol:

[larsen525]

I can't decide on just one. My faves are (not necessarily in order):

* discussion of Captain Peacock's boil in The Hero;

* the radio sound effects in It Pays to Advertise;

* the whole "Ballet of the Toys" from Happy Returns (my grandmother enjoyed that bit also, especially Mr. Lucas "flashing" with his black plastic mac);

* and the discussion of retirement from Shedding the Load:

:slochead1:: Well, I think those who are closest to retirement should leave now, instead of just dragging it out.

:humphries01:: Don't forget your handbag, Mrs. Slocombe.

:slochead1:: Right, FAIRY CAKE!

- Erik

[Tiddles]

"If you are going to prevaricate with me, then I shall kick you right in the middle of the Gentlemen's Department."
--Mrs. Peacock, from "What a Tangled Web" (which also happens to be my favorite episode)


My fave ep and one of the best and most clever lines ever written on the series! :lol:

[Captain Peacock's Carnation]

Mrs. Slocombe in The Clock HA nobody plays a drunk like our Mollie! :)

[Eva]

I love when Mollie plays drunk! They were som of her best moments - German Week with the slapstick comedy was one of the best.

I know Miss Brahms doesn't get many funny lines, but the few she got I found incredibly funny, my favourite being (from The Appartment)...

"I've had four proposals between here and the bus stop and they wasn't marriage"

"OH! its all coming out now!"

[Cat_Lover]

So many fantastic lines; I'd be here all year trying to name them all.

[Tiddles]

All the ones mentioned are fantastic. I think all of Mrs. Slocombe's "pussy" references always get a laugh from me, too. :lol:

[Diana Yarswick]

How many quotes a day do you yourself say? I know mine's at least 10.

[Madam Beryl]

How many quotes a day do you yourself say? I know mine's at least 10.

You mean if someone at work calls my name and I say "I'm free!" Stuff like that...

Well, I worry because I watch so much British comedy, movies, talk shows and even the BBC news that I have to be careful when I'm talking because I'm libel to break into a british accent and people will think I'm mad!!! :crazy:

[Punch_N_Judy]

Ok, so I realised that it's time to start watching AYBS again (yes, I have been neglecting my watching duties)...

So, here are the faves I remember:

The German dance (especially when Mr. Grainger gets knocked down)

"Little Boy Blue's" costume malfunction

From "The Punch & Judy Affair"
Capt. Peacock: Why don't you steal the sausages?
Mr. Humphries: You're not going to say it like THAT are you?

From "Big Brother"
Mr. Mash knocks something down and Capt. Peacock says something like "look what Mr. Mash did".

More to come... :)

[Goldie]

One of the funniest moments for me is during Fire Practice when Mr. Lucas picks up Mrs. Slocombe along with the chair. Also, the look on his face when he's told to pick her up.. Priceless!! :lol:

[offthefloor]

thats a good one goldie...I also like the part in pays to advertise when Mrs. Slocombe getts up to dance with the stool stuck to her but

[froggie]

From "Big Brother"
Mr. Mash knocks something down and Capt. Peacock says something like "look what Mr. Mash did".


i also love the bit where Brahams is on the camera and she says "just checking the stock Mrs Slocombe!" (as she was stuffing her bra) :lol:

[Goldie]

OTF, froggie, good ones! :thumbup:

I also enjoy anytime Capt. Peacock gets called out for something and quickly looks off to the side like he doesn't know what they are talking about. :lol:

[larsen525]

You mean if someone at work calls my name and I say "I'm free!" Stuff like that...

I've been known to do just the opposite. If I need to get a coworker's attention to deal with a customer while I'm busy with another, I'll ask "[So-and-so], are you free?"

No one's ever yet replied with a Humphreys-esque "I'm free!" fluted an octave or so over middle C.

- Erik

[Melchett]

OTF, froggie, good ones! :thumbup:

I also enjoy anytime Capt. Peacock gets called out for something and quickly looks off to the side like he doesn't know what they are talking about. :lol:

Can you give an example Goldie?

[Goldie]

Can you give an example Goldie?

I will, Melchett. I just checked in for a moment, but I'll be back later and post some. :D

[Goldie]

Melchett,
Shedding the Load is one of the eppys where Captain Peacock makes that jesture. It's while they are casting their secret ballots of who should go. Capt. Peacock chose Miss Brahms for no compliance at the Christmas party.. and she said she wondered who wrote that and gave him a knowing look.. he then gives the "look" I'm referring to as he tries to act like it wasn't him. :lol:

[Eva]

You mean if someone at work calls my name and I say "I'm free!" Stuff like that...

I've been known to do that - people turn to me and by the looks of it, think I'm mad, because I sometimes reply Humphrie-esque :lol:

[Madam Beryl]

I know exactly what you mean!! :yes:

I was just thinking of the episode (shoulder to shoulder?) when the ladies have to share the counter in menswear. When Captain Peacock was "molested" by the decorator who looked like Larry Grayson. Then when the decorators were all leaving and Captain Peacock was just glaring at him from behind. His facial expression in that scene was hilarious!!

[Eva]

^ I love that scene - hilarious :lol:

Now I can totally picture it! Hilarious!!

[dazzlestar14]

I love it in "The Pop Star" when Harmon pronounces the song as: Chan sun dee aye moore, lol.

[Tiddles]

Go to 6:40 on this one...and keep going until Mrs. S. is "lowered" by "Fred". It kills me every time! :lol:

The "bye-bye" in her usual tone always gets me :)

[Madam Beryl]

The "bye-bye" in her usual tone always gets me :)

It's hysterical how she shows up everywhere and drives Mr. Rumbold crazy!!!!!

[amy2005]

One of the scenes that used to make me really laugh at night was the Happy Brithday singing practice in "Fifty Years On", escpecially when Humphries and Lucas come back and Lucas says "We don't think we can get the top 'er."

i love that scene! that line, and...

'from now on, i shall always think of mrs slocombe as dear er er!'

along with others

[offthefloor]

Another one I love is when Young Mr. Grace is having his eyes tested by his nurse and she tells him to read the "bottom" line, and instead of reading the bottom line on the eye chart he reads the label on his secretaries skit as she was bent over across the room :lol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I thought it was from her panties. :brow:

[Red Shadow]

One of my favorite scenes of all time is the "trial" scene in "Oh, What a Tangled Web." I think that whole scene was written beautifully. The jokes are plentiful, witty and funny, and they are well timed by the actors. I always laugh out loud when watching this.

Absolutely!!
When Mrs. Peacock put her head on the table and sobbed uncontrollably when she found out it was the young woman who C.Peacock is supposed to have had an affair with.... and Mrs. Slocombe said something like "She didn't react that way when she thought it was me." And Mr. Lucas (sitting higher up behind her) leans forward and says, "Funny that."
:lol:

[Red Shadow]

Mr. Lucas (sitting higher up behind her) leans forward and says, "Funny that."

Yes, that is a funny one! And the look on Mr. Lucas' face when Mrs. Slocombe is talking is hysterical as well.

I think my favorite joke from this scene is when Mr. Rumbold tells his secretary that he has no right to ask her questions, that she doesn't have to answer them, and that no one will hold her answers against her. Young Mr. Grace then looks at his secretary and says, "Hardly seems it worth her coming..." That cracks me up every time.

[sanna_o75]

Funny lines that I really laugh out loud at is

From Fire Practise:Mrs Slocombe: "Any minute now they're gonna get their heads chopped of"

From Oh, what a tangled web: Mrs Humphries: "I didn't think people talked like this anymore"

From Fire Practise: Mr Humphries: "Where did they say they came from?"(Best line ever in the show, I think :D) and "I'm not even a believer!"

Almost the whole episode of The Holdup

And alot of lines from Young Mr Grace that I can't remember now :lol:

Oh, and of course the whole afterwork talk in 50 Years On.

And I actually laugh every time Mr Humphries asnwers the phone with that dep voice "Men's wear" Every time, even in season 10. *Low voice* "Men's wear. *high voice* Oh, hello mother!" :D

And one that that didn't get many laughs, but I think it's hysterical. I don't remember the episode but Mrs Slocombe is telling them about when she and Mrs Axelby(I'm a bad fan, I can't remember her name now!) went and iceskated because if they fell "somebody was bound to pick us up" :lol:

[luvtrevor]

My funniest moment in "Tangled Web" was Young Mr. Grace looking at Mrs. Peacock and saying 'sooner him than me.' It seems like ever since I saw that scene, when I see a woman with her ugly or sloppy husband/boyfriend, I think to myself, 'sooner her than me!' ;)

[Greg WibblyWobbly]
