Something a little different this year…. Not that I’m running out of songs… but I thought this might cheer a few folk up.

classic comedy sketches from either Christmas editions of shows, or something nostalgic that is always shown on tv at this time of year.

First up…. The absolute kings…… it wouldn’t be Christmas without them…

Another classic. And one line in particular from this sketch repeated on this very forum a great number of times.

“Goodbye from him”……. And a goodbye from me”

Something Scottish today.... Rikki Fulton from his Scotch and Wry videos from when i was a teen.
My dad would get always get a 18+ comedy video... whether it be this, jim davidson, jethro or something else. Me and my brother would have it opened, into the machine and being watched. My mother, every year without fail, would come through from the kitchen and say the immortal words;.....

"Pit that rubbish aff afore yer granny gets here!"

This was mentioned on another thread i was reading, so i thought id include it.....

And this one crops up every so often when one is talking about 'the good old days'

littlespark · Dec 6, 2023

Much newer now.... like in the last 20 years rather than 40.

Peter Kay.... but not the "Garlic Bread!" bit.....Its the misheard lyrics.

Woops... missed a day... But i did have a good reason...

So, 7th... and another one mentioned on the forum not so long ago, but from a sitcom, not a comedy stage show.

....and the 8th... The late great Victoria Wood....

littlespark · Dec 9, 2023

Im sure everybody knows this... Taken from "An Audience With...." ITV programme.

A little dated now.... just replace every mention of Queen, with King.

Missed another day.....

Could not find this one on youtube for love nor money.... but everyone knows it

littlespark · Dec 11, 2023

and todays....

Relatively modern. Also gave us "The Coopers"... (Kapurs)

littlespark · Dec 13, 2023

I'm putting forum technical issues down as the reason i missed yesterday again...

12th December... Return of the Pythons

littlespark · Dec 13, 2023

13th. The Return of Rikki... And a double bill!

First one.... Did he know something we didn't?

And Second.... One of his situation sketches. He did several "last calls" sketches from a vicar or reverend character sitting in a chair... but this has to be the funniest.
