favourite expressions...

[amy2005]

I thought i'd create this thread to discuss the funniest facial expressions the characters have made... (I don't think there's a thread like this already, but i could be wrong...)

anyway, two of my favourites are:

the old order changes - mr humphries' expression as he finds out mr lucas's first name
german week - mrs slocombe's face as she is saying that mr rumbold is out of focus

[Lady Stableforth]

Fifty Years On - Captain Peacock's expression when Mr. Rumbold is singing Happy Birthday Dear er er!
Mr. Grainger's face when Mrs. Slocome says You Two Faced Old Crab!

[Peanut]

Captain Peacocks face when Mrs Slocombe is telling Mr Rumbold on the phone that she is 22 with long blonde hair and a 40 inch bust :lol:

[Mr. Rust of Audio-Visuals]

Grainger saying "I reFU-USE!!" in "Shoulder to Shoulder".

[Melchett]

Mr. Humphries face when he hears the recording asking if he would like a real He-man in His and Hers.

[Diana Yarswick]

Mr H when he doesn't think he can afford that...

[The Green Man]

Anything from Mr. Lucas. He always had that nervous, confused look. Despite this he still was able to make humorous comments.

[Mr. Rust of Audio-Visuals]

both Peacock and Lucas in "Mrs. Slocombe, Senior Person" when Peacock says: "Mr. Lucas, that was very naughty."

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Mr. Humphries face when he hears the recording asking if he would like a real He-man in His and Hers.

Classic !! :thumbup:

This one here is my all time favorite Humphries expression.

[larsen525]

Mr. Lucas and Captain Peacock, when they hear Mrs. Slocombe saying, "Mr. Humphreys, leave my pussy alone!"

- Erik

[Bionic Grainger]

My top 2 Mr. Grainger's facial expressions:

1) when he is doing his impression of an Eton educated shareholder. It looks similar to a dog eating peanut butter.
2) when he is trying to remember the words to Mammy.

[LoveAYBSForever]

my favorite is when Captain Peacock says that "visits to the toilet will also be recorded..." in Coffee Morning and Mr. Grainger is appauled. hahaha!

[Dean]

Mr Lucas's look at the end of the show abt the note when Mrs Slocombe is telling him "I'm not promising anything".

[Oh, That DOES Suit Madam!]

My favorite is Mr. Harman when he closes the door to the basement in 'Is It Catching?'

I smile every time I see it.

ROTFLMAO !! :emotlol:

[Sienna]

My favourite is in Conduct Unbecoming, when Mrs Slocombe asks Cpt Peacock whether he is Cpt Peacock and he says: 'No, I'm a rice pudding maker at Epping Forest.' :lol:
I have a picture of it but can't seem to copy it in here. Sorry folks :roll:

[Bionic Grainger]

Mr. Lucas' expression in "Fire Practice" when he is asked if he would like to save Mrs. Slocombe is priceless.

Earlier when I was listing my favorite Mr. Grainger's expressions I forgot probably the most unusual - The look on his face outside Rumbold's office when he hears the cuckoo clock.

[Mr.Free]

Wow, there's just so many good ones.... but Grainger's forced smile in 'Christmas Crackers' is another classic.

"When they come to the store with their offspring, I will give them my usual warm and welcoming smile".:lol:

I like when Mr. Humphries is warming his hands in the drawer (and Mr. Lucas' look as well) in Cold Comfort.

[Melchett]

[Cat_Lover]

The expression on Mrs Slocombe's face when she finds out how big the "bustenhalters" are in German Week.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

You're very welcome Sienna and Melchey.

Aussiehpnut is this the face you're refering too ???

http://lordgreg.minki.net/AYBSCMgw.jpg

[sonosun]

I like that one Wibby.

[Cat_Lover]

That's the one.

[Melchett]

"They're well built these German girls."

[Diana Yarswick]

Don't forget the stunned expression on Mr H and Lucas when they see Mrs S reading... Dear Sexy Knickers ;)

[Bionic Grainger]

In Top Hat and Tails, the look on Peacock's face when Mr. Humphries moves Peacock's hand to Humphries bum and says, "This too would be wrong".

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Lucas's expression at the end of "DSK" when Slocombe is telling him that she "should have known the note was from him."

[Dean]

Lucas's expression at the end of "DSK" when Slocombe is telling him that she "should have known the note was from him."

yes that's the one I meant on the previous page! :)

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Totally my bad ....:oops:

[Carrie Anne]

In 'The Junior', when Mr. Humphries starts crying after Captain Peacock told him he's going to be the new senior.:)

[Dean]

what a good list - they really do have some great moments, these actors

[Sienna]

And also in the Junior, when both Mr Humphries and Mr Lucas start crying when they see their new wages. :lol:

:rumbhead:"A pound is not to be sneezed at!"

[Melchett]

:rumbhead:"A pound is not to be sneezed at!"

"I said, Is there any more money?" :humphries01:

[Lady Stableforth]

Mr. Spooner's expression when he sees Mrs. Slocombe coming out of the dressing room in a girls dress and she is riding a scooter.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

:lol:

[Fun Time Freddy]

i think its from "cold store". where mr. lucas is fishing for his chalk that dropped down the lady's skirt.

[minki]

Mine is anytime Mrs. Slocombe looks angry :)

[Dean]

Like "right, fairy cakes!" What an expressive face Mollie Sugden has.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

How about Grainger's face when he walks out of Rumbold's office after hearing the cukoo ??

Yeah, I stand corrected, this mug is the best.

[Bionic Grainger]

:agreed: This is by far the very best expression in the whole series. :yes::yes::yes:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Makes me think of that commercial ...
"Do you know where you're going to be when your laxative kicks in ?"

:emotlol:

:emotlol:

You can only hope you make it to the loo before The Clock runs out! :theclock:
(Pun intended) :D

[Oh, That DOES Suit Madam!]

After watching Shedding the Load, I enjoy the face Mr. Tebbs makes when it is revealed that the person who dared write that Mrs. Slocombe was a 'crabby old cow' had written it in blue pencil.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Sooner the clock runs out and not something else .... :shock:

This one ???

[Sienna]

That is one lovely screencap Greg. I love his face there. Especially with the blue pencil in his pocket :lol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

:D I'm here to please Sienna.

[Melchett]

That is one lovely screencap Greg. I love his face there. Especially with the blue pencil in his pocket :lol:

I love how the blue pencil is sitting high in the pocket to make sure we all see it... :D

[sonosun]

http://lordgreg.minki.net/tebbssmile.jpg

That's great Greg.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Don't you just want to pinch his cheeks ? :lol:

[Cat_Lover]

I sure hope you mean the ones on his face. :p :lol:

[Melchett]

I sure hope you mean the ones on his face. :p :lol:

This conversation is quickly going downhill... :lol:

[Dean]

I have a soft spot for Mr Tebbs - I wish he had stayed till the end of the show, would really have boosted the latter shows.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Don't most of our conversations ??? :lol:

[larsen525]

I agree completely. Those people at Kipling's Cakes were "thoroughly obstropulous" about not wanting him to play Mr. Tebbs any more. Bunch of baskets, the lot of them.

- Erik

[Melchett]

It really would have been a completely different dynamic if he had stayed on through Season 10...

[sonosun]

I have to agree with Dean. No one could have replaced Mr Grainger, but Tebbs did a good job trying.

[Lady Stableforth]

How about Captain Peacock's face when Ms. Belfridge is coming out in her bikini, she just can't make up her mind, while he is holding a frozen treat....

Here it is, an older wallie from my site.

http://lordgreg.minki.net/limpice.jpg

[Oh, That DOES Suit Madam!]

I have two from The Junior.

The face Humphries makes when Mr. Beaucham is discussing his career.

The shocked look Capt. Peacock gives once Mr. Goldberg reveals that he's Corporal Peacock.

[Dean]

The face Humphries makes when Mr. Beaucham is discussing his career.

I've never really understood the joke there - every other time anyone seems to be gay or hints at being gay, Mr Humphries welcomes it!

[Sienna]

I've never really understood the joke there - every other time anyone seems to be gay or hints at being gay, Mr Humphries welcomes it!

Maybe he was the exact opposite of Mr Humphries' type.

[Oh, That DOES Suit Madam!]

I think what they are trying to imply is that Mr. Beaucham is flamboyant and 'colorful'....essentially, a very similar version of Mr. Humphries.

And the joke is that Mr. Humphries is saying 'Oh we don't want people like THAT here', and since Mr. Beaucham is a kind of carbon copy of Mr. Humphries, he's backhandedly implicating himself in his statement.

Does that make sense??

[Oh, That DOES Suit Madam!]

BTW, thank you Greg :)

Another expression I like is when Mr. Harman makes a face after Mr. Rumbold calls himself 'The Crawler' on the phone to Mr. Grace in Gambling Fever.

[Sienna]

The 'hand in front of mouth' thing Miss Belfridge does in The Pop Star after telling Rumbold 'There'll be millions watching you, waiting for the slightest mistake!' :lol:

Ah you think he doesn't like the idea of competition to his place at the store?

Yes that makes sense. :)

[amy2005]

ive just been watching coffee morning, and noticed quite a funny one...

it comes about 5 minutes into the episode, when they are discussing the recording of tea breaks. the one i'm talking about is mr grainger's expression when he hears that visits to the toilet will be recorded! it was just so randomly funny, and so i decided to share it :)

Either that or Humphries doesn't like the competition. :lol:

[Oh, That DOES Suit Madam!]

Here's one...

In A Personal Problem, when the hobo 'out of work musician' starts playing and singing his song, Mr. Humphries makes a great face!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Yes that Greg, I just like how she was saying that just to get him nervous! :lol:

Mr Grainger does look a bit shocked. :lol:

[Sienna]

Captain Peacock in 'Front Page Story' when he says to Mr Spooner 'Have you ever heard of the dole??'

[Oh, That DOES Suit Madam!]

Mr. Lucas' expression when Capt. Peacock tells him that if he continues to be rude to Mrs. Slocombe he will not be allowed to sit at the senior's table in The Father Christmas Affair.

[Bionic Grainger]

Just watched The Nightclub and Mrs. Slocombe's face (& hair standing straight up) when she is watching the French Foreign film is priceless.

Did a wallpaper for this one on my site. :D
