8 Short Funny Stories - Taking The Biscuit 

I love ‘Taking the Biscuit’! 😂😂😂😄

For anyone bothered by the ads Skip to the end of the video then watch the 4 second ad then hit replay it removes the ads for you Xx

The Story about Bernie was simply hilarious and diabolical at once. What perfect revenge.

I have listened to these little gems numerous times over the past few years. Wonderful performances and great sound effects.. 👏 👏 *Edit: what a shame the ads have now become excessive and invasive, totally ruining the enjoyment*

Just love the Gertie story - the young mother is just adorable. . . :} The last one was hilarious - almost worthy of the situations of Wodehouse.

This last story is great ☺️😜

i just yelled bruh so loud at the first one

The story with the biscuits appears in So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, the fourth book of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams. It was written in 1984. It is based on a true incident that happened to Adams in 1976 at a station in Cambridge.

One should note the full meaning of "humour," as in "the" humours, and that the insignia is, after all, and 8 ball, as in, "being behind the." But exquisite short stories, notwithstanding. Thank you.

I'm listening to this as I eat a kit-kat with my left hand.

I liked the first story

Loved the first story

I listen to them every night bc they put me to sleep 💤😴

Enjoyed every minute, MangoHead Likes

Loved the furs story

I knew there would be a catch in the first story lol.

Aaaahhhh... karma, hilarious 😆😆

First one was great

Looking for more stories like these

The story about the kid Edward was hilarious to me I definitely can relate to that story when I was a kid I had a friend named James and we played hockey together now I'm an African American so playing hockey was interesting I love the sport always was the only black kid though but that's another story LOL but my friend James played with me he was a Caucasian kid we're still friends till this day but I remember when I first went to his house and we have a sleepover and then he came to my house and have a sleepover then about a year later they were going on a vacation and they wanted me to come and of course our parents knew each other so I went and that's when I found out that they were nudists and I definitely wasn't it was just so strange to me that they we're comfortable seeing each other naked but I went along with it and the reason I did was kind of the same reason at the end of the story I saw that they didn't I think it was weird or embarrassing it was like they didn't even notice they were naked which kind of made me feel comfortable and also he had a sister that was 4 years older than us and she had thingies LOL and I enjoyed seeing them and Mommy has some nice thingies to LOL I end up dating his sister when I got older in college we hooked up for about a year-and-a-half but we're still great friends me and Jimmy AKA James are still best buddies we are 40 years old now we have children we see each other every year he is still in Minnesota and I move to Atlanta 4 years ago but he still my best buddy talk to him at least five times a week our kids are great friends for some reason this story triggered a lot of memories just now I think I'm going to send this to my buddy so he can listen to the story hopefully he won't read the comments and see that I thought his mom had nice-looking thingies LOL.

These remind me of some of Raol Dahl's stories,. Excellent performers. So much irony. Just discovered your channel.

The KitKat 😂😂😂😂😂 Been giggling all afternoon thinking about it! Thank you for making me laugh ... Been a long time 😂

I'd forgotten why I had previously abandoned these well read stories and then ....the sodding advertisement interruptions🤯 began!! Abandoning them again.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Can really picture mark Corrigan from peep show in the first sketch lol

1st story is reminiscent of The Cookie Thief poem

😊🧡

There are wooshing sounds in the background , the story with Mrs. Bell with the plant don't know the name, then I realized the reader was near waves. How relaxing!!!

I've seen a couple of RU-vid videos re-telling the first story, "Taking the Biscuits." I don't know as they credited where they got the idea from.

The first one is a poem, The Cookie Thief!

If these are too risky for some of you delicate souls I recommend Disney Short Stories...or grow up ..either one

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

i've heard the first story rewritten in various ways - i don't know why it's done so much ? it's a good one if you haven't heard one before. the post card one, i don't get at all - she wasn't a 'bad' sort. i love the boy at the beach story - thank goodness the kid knows this family :} (i know it's a story, but still.)

"Biscuit" means different things upon in which nation one finds oneself. I've never eaten a woman's biscuit that was covered in chocolate. But I am willing to try. ♥ ♥ ♥

The first story was so British that I physically felt a cringe fog over me.

My guess is these stories did not write themselves. Authors' credits?

#3 "what"

I was cringing all throughout story five until the end. I love happy endings.

please! what is the name of the music

Why is there no progress bar?

First story Cheap

It would appear the Brits are a bit more relaxed about naked children than we are on this side of the pond.

Who wrote these?

the story are too good. plz can put the text of stories. Thanks

Douglas adams

please give me English subtitles...

Please subtitles for the deaf

Great stories but far too many ads.

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Subtitles please with out subtitles it is difficult to understand English accent . 🇮🇳

Could you please upload subtitles. Cheers.🇷🇺

im on the 3rd story...nothing funny

1. The first story's great. It was quite funny, the twist was hilarious :) 2. Not really a deep story and not 'family friendly'. All her fears were also quite ungrounded, and it tells the listener that if you do something out of spite, you'll end up happy. Quite a shitty message, actually. 3. This was a sad story if you think about it. The kid's background and the shame surrounding his dilemma were quite tragic. I'm glad this had a positive ending. 4. I can't empathise with such a nasty character. The 'twist' at the end was stupid. Feel free to skip this. 5. The writing was really good. I am just so disappointed that the ending was so...abrupt? Yeah, we get it, you regret what you wanted all along. The ending could have been wittier. 6. I won't call this story comedy per se; but, it's an interesting story. Did the story just insinuate that the woman was a whor- you know what, I think I can conclude this on my own. I would also like to believe that this renewed their feelings for each other because there is so much more beneath the surface of their marriage. 7. I feel bad because it felt like it was being set up to something greater and the ending just fell really short. That punchline was stupid. I get the 'moral' of the story, just that it could have been presented better. 8. Long winding and so many irrelevant details for a short story, this story could have been cut by a third. I saw the ending a mile away. The shenanigans were quite funny, but really unbelievable. Anyway, I really loved the first story. Shame, majority of the other stories did not live up to the quality of the first. Great narration for all of them, though :)

3rd one was kinda perverse and disturbing xD (was it thus that made it funny??) 🤔

perhaps there may by strange people, ie. americans listening.

This in corne

Perhaps the presenter of these fine stories might remove, "for the whole family" from the details, as the presenter's family is of higher intelligence than those 'adults' who have little.

You lost me with that "zanie!" Music at the beginning. Very jarring & 😬 idk. ..too much. But thx for the effort 👌. To each their own

The first couple of stories were without adverts, then so many ads interrupting the stories it wasn't worth listening to as I tried to drift off to sleep.

Way too many ads!!. They are a constant interruption to the stories. Would be much better if they placed them in between each story.

Ad block plus - We must oppose insatiable corporate greed, even though they own everything, and we their prey -What else are we to do?

What is it, and I am not being negative, what is it with tea. Every single story and show from England, has tea drinking. It is part of the story and must be a part of English life. So what is it, the attraction, or the habit, or whatever. Tea tea tea.

I say this as a review, not necessarily a criticism. But the first story was funny. The second one was not so much, maybe in a dark bitter way. Hardly appropriate for the whole family. As was the third story which was also actually kind of sad and with an almost disturbing feel to it. I didn't listen past the third as none so far had been funny, save the first.

Loving this so far 👍 😀

The ads are rediculous. Spoils the whole thing.

adultery and homosexuality so accepted in Britain this "humour for the WHOLE family?"

Was I the only one to find the child's story odd and very disturbing?why were mothers and daughter in such a state of undress,did they not notice his discomfort??

That second story was awful. How about trying to work out your differences and let your partner know your feelings before you just drop them like a hot rock? Sure she didn't love him anymore but, at least try.

If you’re gonna do audiobooks of sorts, don’t monetize it. The commercials ruin it
