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 !!!!

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

CLASSIC!

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!"

Default favorite scene

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.

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 !!

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 !!!!!

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."

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?"

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.

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"

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.

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...

Default Your "funniest" AYBS? Moment

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.

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