What episode or scene makes you bust a gut laughing?

[Dear_Sexy_Knickers]

I don't necessarily mean your favorite, but what made you laugh so hard you just couldn't breathe?

(I just watched the last 5 episodes last night (for the first time- I am kinda sad because now I've seen them all.) Anyway, I didn't love the last few episodes, but they had their funny moments. When I watched "the Nightclub", I laughed so hard it hurt!
Most of the episode didn't really stand out for me (the part where they were shooting the commercial was, to me, too much like all of the other times they were doing commercials and such) But, when the part came where they were in the movie theatre and the naughty movie was playing, and then their ad comes on without the picture, I simply couldn't stop laughing! :lol: :lol:
Even though it was so obvious/predictable, I laughed and laughed till my sides hurt.

So, What scenes or episodes did you guys find so hilarious it took your breath away? (everyone who has seen AYBS surely has had at least one such moment...I know I can't be the *only* weirdo who is so easily amused) :wink:

[Tiddles]

Oh my there are so many...you can view the scenes in your mind:

"Mammy....Mameeeeeeeeeeeeeee......"

"I'd like TWO BIG ONES!!"

"Did you get your minute ste-a-a-a-k?" :lol:

"You'd be under a lot more strain if you had to EAT it!"

"Your NAA-:lol:..AAA..:lol:-AAAME, Sir?!" :lol:

"I've got hardly any bust at all..."

"He looks like a WINGNUT!"

:lol:

[luv_ya_humphries]

[Tiddles]

Scenes I can view in my head?

.

Well no.....the OP is looking for scenes that make you CRACK UP. I listed mine and suggested you can "see the scenes in your own mind" as I list the lines that crack me up.

[amy2375]

Mr. Rumbold: Happy birthday, dear Err Err... (the whole song cracks me up!)

Mrs. Slocombe: These are rrreal boobie-do's! (one of my favorite Mrs. Slocombe lines ever!)

That's all I can think of right now! :lol:

[dazzlestar14]

~"The Old Order Changes" is one of my favourites for bust-a-gut-laughing.
So many funny lines and the costumes speak for themselves! :lol:

[Very Young Mr Grace]

I totally agree. It's one of my favorite episodes.

I also like the whole misunderstanding about the note in "Dear Sexy Knickers." Lots of laughs in that episode!

[Dean]

For me the one is the one that inspired the name of the originator of this thread.

"hello Captain Peacock.... this is Sexy Knickers..."

I must have seen this approximately a zillion and 12 times but it always makes me laugh.

Frank Thornton and Mollie Sugden are great in that scene...

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

From "Horrah For The Holidays" when Humphries does his "Hi-Ya !!!" karate chop on the customer.

From "Top Hats and Tails" when Lucas grabs that dummys arm and dances with Slocombe with it."

From "Happy Returns" when Lucas gets it in the nads with Peacocks horse tail.

[Old Mr. Grace]

In "Cold Store" when Mr. Grainger constantly runs back to the gents. That was too funny. :lol:

[luv_ya_humphries]

In Conduct Becoming when Mr Humphries next door Neighbour comes to the store with a pram and everyone assumes it's a baby inside and Mrs Slocombe saying: "You don't think it's his do you?" and Mrs Slocombe playing Mr Humphries defence 'lawyer' that was funny too :lol:

[jimrose]

Captain Peacock: "I've already put it down in my book."

Mrs. Slocombe: "Well, in that case....pttttzzzz!!!"
:lol:

In Conduct Becoming when Mr Humphries next door Neighbour comes to the store with a pram and everyone assumes it's a baby inside and Mrs Slocombe saying: "You don't think it's his do you?" and Mrs Slocombe playing Mr Humphries defence 'lawyer' that was funny too :lol:

The only 2 saving gracea in that otherwise horrible eppy is when Slocombe calls Peacock "Clever Chops" and Mr. Wagstaff's hearing aide goes off.... :lol2: :lol2:

[mamabear197]

Tough Stuff this Insurance! Every time I see them behind that screen and Lucas looking over at Goldberg and Peacock I crack up! The smirck on Lucas's face.

Oh great one is The Junior!

Goldberg==="I've got it! I've got it! Corporal Peacock"

Rumbold== "This is Captain Peacock who actualy fought hand to hand with Rommel's Army!"

Goldberg==="We always wondered what he did in his spare time"
Mb

[beatlefan]

I'm going by memory here but I think it goes like this

Mrs. Slocombe: My opinon is that those who are retired should leave and not drag it out.

Mr. Humphries: Don't forget your hand bag Mrs. Slocombe

Mrs. Slocombe: Right, FAIRYCAKE :x

Mr. Humphries: Oh, so it's all coming out now isn't it. :evil:

I think these are the lines that make me crack up. I don't know if I got Mrs. Slocombe's first line correct. I forgot which episode. I have a feeling that the episode was "The Junior."

I also loved the episode "German Week."
I taught myself the dance. :germanweek:

[beatlefan]

I remember in Coffe Break this scene made me laugh so hard:

Mr. Mash comes in Mr. Rumbold's office with some tea, while Captin Peacock and Mr. Grainger are having a CONFIDENTIAL meeting.

Knock knock
Mr. Mash comes in the office
Mr. Rumbold: Come in!
Mr. Mash: I'm in!
Mr. Rumbold: I wish you waited to come in before I say come in; I'm having a important meeting here.
Mr. Mash: Should I go out again then?
Mr. Rumbold: No no put it down.
Ms. Ainsworth: Should I put that down.
Mr. Rumbold: No, I don't want that put down.
Mr. Mash: Then what shall I do with it?
Mr. Rumbold: Put it down
Ms. Ainsworth: I thought you said don't put it down?
Mr. Rumbold: I don't want you to put down "put it down."
Mr. Mash: Well I got to put it down, and as far as I'm concerned, you can stick it up. :eek:
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[dazzlestar14]

I absolutely love that scene Beatlefan, it's a hard scene to not bust a gut over. :lol:

[beatlefan]

I love it that the British are so funny.


I LOVE THE BEATLES AND AYBS?

[ahkenatan]

I love it anytime the crew goes into Mr.Rumbolds office to "clear up" problems on the floor. The actors work so well together when they do that I wonder how they make it through the scene without dying laughing. For the record I have seen some of them crack a grin on occasion.

I also love it when they are having the beauty contest Capt.Peacock to Mrs.Slocum: Would you care to tell the panel your name and what planet you come from.

Also when Mrs. Slocum ( the club episode) opens her makeup case and there is carnival music playing. Saw that last night, yet again, and died laughing.

[beatlefan]

I just love those scenes. I also love it when Mrs. Slocombe talks about her cat. Those scences make me laugh.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

:lol: :lol:

As many times as I've heard them, Pussy jokes will always get me to chuckle !!!:lol:

[dazzlestar14]

Me too, they will never get old.

[LovelyMissShirleyBrahms]

I love when Mrs. Slocombe talks about her cat too!

What had me laughing hard is the episode "Takeover" when they all had to participate to act like different people at end. Captain Peacock with his outfit being too short. Mr. Humphries with smoke all over his face. Mr. Lucas not knowing how to pronunce the name Lady Weeble Abel Smith. And Mr. Grainger with his wig. That was VERY funny! I actually had tears in my eyes. :lol:

Fabuloso eppy LMSB !!!!! One of my favorites !!

[beatlefan]

My favourite eppy is "Fifty Years On." I love the part when thier rehearsing the Happy Birthday song. Especially when it got to the part of Dear er er. I laughed so hard it almost made me cry. :lol2:
I also like Takeover.

[frankdicer]

In Mrs. Slocombe Senior Person.....Mr. Rumbold is sick and says he
has glands coming up behind his ears....Harman says, Its a good thing
you mentioned that, cause we might have missed it (OWTTE).
That always get me.

[Pamela]

Have I already said the farty sounds in Camping In? that drives me nuts every time.

Ooh, and I love the whole Takeover thing-fab!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

One for Miss Brahms.....

From "Conduct Unbecoming" when Humphries is late for work, to attract Peacocks attention...

Miss Brahms - "Oh dear, my suspenders gone !!"

Peacock - "You're not wearing suspenders."

Miss Brahms - "That what I mean, they're gone."

As silly as that one is, it does get a chuckle out of me everytime.

[dazzlestar14]

Me too!
More the fact that Mrs.Slocombe doesn't do anything for him when she tries. She has that disappointed look in her face. :lol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Slocombe (to Brahms) - "You try." :lol2:

[spoonme]

Anytime Mrs Slocombe is drunk is just hilarious and any of Mr Lucas' sarcy comments towards her are just ALWAYS funny.

[Jeff Humphries]

Anytime Mrs Slocombe is drunk is just hilarious and any of Mr Lucas' sarcy comments towards her are just ALWAYS funny.

My fav Mrs. Slocombe drunk moment is "The Clock".

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

:slocombe01: "This escalator is going to do someone a mishchief !!!"

[dazzlestar14]

:lol:
I entirely agree, Mollie Sugden played an excellent drunk!

[John Inman Fan]

"The Hero"-The canteen scene where they all had to keep from laughing concerning Capt Peacock's boil and being somewhat successful and of course Mr. Humhpries losing his coffee! :lol:

Another one that I had to laugh hard about was "Top Hats and Tails" where Mr. Grainger has trouble getting started to dance with Miss Brahms. Classic! :lol:

Marlies

[larsen525]

The sound effects in "Calling all Customers", especially (ahem) pulling the extra-long pint.

:brahmhead1:: I'll bet you were dying for that, squire.

:peacock01:: I was!

- Erik

[Goldie]

Another one that I had to laugh hard about was "Top Hats and Tails" where Mr. Grainger has trouble getting started to dance with Miss Brahms. Classic! :lol:

I think that is so funny. It's like he is stomping his foot and that's all he can manage to do. :lol:

:peacock01:: I was!

- Erik

When Spooner says "I'll pick you up and put you on the straw over here ... Ooohhhhhhhh" (as if he's lifted something heavy)
That one always gets me roaring !!

[Cat_Lover]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Goldie]

One of the things that gets me laughing everytime is in Fire Practice when they tell Lucas to practice picking Mrs. Slocombe up from the chair. First, the look on his face is hilarious and then the whole scene where she is on his back is so funny.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Agreed Goldie !!! :lol:

[MissRnR]

There were a lot that made me burst my guts laughing. I think "The Club" was hilarious.

[Punch_N_Judy]

From "The Junior"

"It was you, wasn't it?" - Mr. Lucas

[Eva]

I just love the whole canteen scene from 'Is It Catching'

:peacock01: I don't like the tone of your voice
:canteenhead: Well, I don't like the colour of your moustache but I'm learning to live with it

And the whole sitting on the table bit :lol:

It was probably the best bit of a terrible episode :)

Hear hear, I agree. Even the worst eppys do have a tiny ray of light beaming from them.

[MissRnR]

The scene in Strong Stuff This Insurance when they are all in the nurses office stood behind the screen and Mrs Slocombe and Miss Brahms walk in and laugh at them.

I find that bit hilarious because that is so true to real life - all women (in Britain) would stand there and laugh at the men when they are walking around naked or in that kind of situation the staff were in. We just find it incredibly funny.

[Very Young Mr Grace]

The meeting scene in "The Old Order Changes" when they're all calling each other by name....

"I like you Stephen"
"And I like you too, Cuthbert"

The rolling of Capt Peacock's eyes, and Lucas being "Dick", and Mr. Humphries reaction are all priceless! One of my all-time favorite scenes.

[cpl.er...Capt. Joe]

Good Call!!!

The Old Order Changes when Mrs. Slocumbe scares off Cynthia just by saying her name.

"Cynthia! Oh, I do like you Cynthia. I really do like you..."

And that one and Front Page Story when she comes out in the green stripper outfit and garters.:D

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

:slocombe01: "aren't you going to barder the merchandise ???" :lol:

[amy2005]

there are loads of bits i love, but my favourites include:

pretty much all of the 'dear er er' scene in fifty years on, especially this line...
lucas - we don't think we can get the top 'er'!

i love the bit in a change is as good as a rest when they go to mr rumbold to complain...

slocombe - i have no interest whatsoever in your wibbly wobblies!

and the other one i can think of off the top of my head is the end of the dreams of mrs slocombe, when they're at the ballet...

humphries - i can't do that to mrs slocombe!

What does this say about British men??? :)

I love the last scene in this show when they are listening to the discussion about the furniture. Very funny in my opinion.

:lol:

[Eva]

I love that bit to, I can't help but laugh at the false knockers, rising damp and saggy middles :lol:

[archdelux]

There are so many lines on Are You Being Served? that are hilarious I crack up everytime i watch the show but one of my all time favorite lines was in the episode called It Pays To Advertise when they were in the middle of shooting the commercial for Grace Bros. when Captain Peacocks line was "Your face seems very familiar" and Mr Harmon couldn't hear him so he had to keep repeating himself then finally Miss Brahms says "Wouldn't it be better if he shouted up her skirt?" The look on Mrs. Slocombe's Face was priceless and her reply was "Nobody is shouting up my skirt saying they recognize the face" i bust a gut laughing everytime i watch that scene it gets funnier and funnier each and everytime i see it

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

That one always gets a chuckle out of me as well Archdelux !!

[adamclark83]

One that recently stands out for me is the staff doing the CB Radio advert in "Calling All Customers." i was really laughing hard with that one.

[amy2005]

i dont know if its just my weird sense of humour, but i love that bit in the apartment when the staff gradually start arriving. the first bit i love is where mr humphries flips over the the arm of the sofa when he hears the door. the other bit is when captain peacock thinks mr humphries is sharing the bed with him, but calms down when he finds out its mr lucas

there are loads of others, but this was the ep i watched most recently, so it stuck in my mind

[Assistant 134]

The scene that really gets me is in The Hero during the canteen scene. The best bit is when Peacock and Goldberg are talking about the Great Train Robbery and Goldberg says, "I don't think they'll ever get to the bottom of it." The staff giggles, then Mrs Slocombe says, "Oh I expect they will in the end.", then Mr Humphries does a spit take with his tea. :emotlol:

I'm laughing now as I write.

Of course we all know that The Hero was about the boil on Peacock's bum which made the eppy all the more hilarious !!! :lol:

[archdelux]

I just finished watching that scene on The Hero where Mrs Slocombe says that and Mr. Humphries does the spit take it is too funny for words everytime i watch it i bust a gut laughing and have to watch it a second time it is so hilarious thanks for reminding me Assistant 134 (http://www.minki.net/aybsforum/member.php?u=32)
