The weird part is that they were private and noticeably less terrible at the time the skit is set, prior to their seizure by the war government and nationalisation by Labour in 48.
I once was sat opposite a lady on a bus with a piercing in her naval. She was either large or pregnant and it looked dangerously like it was going to fire out under pressure and take my eye out.
I honestly don't think that the likes of the Biased Broadcasting Company would even think of allowing it now - nearly all the"comedies" now are so lame
@@elenite Just " woke " nonsense, and the pre-programmed sheep wet themselves where they are told to do so by enriched unfunny posers wearing the " old school tie ". There are no grown-ups anymore, it seems, who were ready and able to take the piss out of each other without running shrieking and looking for their " safe space."
The funniest bit about 2:04 is the jab about privatised railways. In reality, service has got worse, prices have gone up and many of the companies are foreign owned - by foreign states!
the plastic dome is in reference to the actual Millennium Dome that was build to celebrate the year 2000 and was filled with basically pointless exhibitions. It's now called the O2 Arena, which houses a 20,000 seater gig venue, a shopping mall, loads of restaurants and a cinema.
The biggest issue that made people angry with the dome wasn't the pointless crap they filled it with or the ridiculous cost it was the fact it was deliberately designed to last no more than a couple of decades pretty soon it'll either fall apart or they'll have to spend the GDP of a small country on repairs.
I actually went to exhibition at Millennium Dome and like it said on ticket it was one amazing Day in my opinion anyway, I have happy memories of that day, it annoyed me at time how media were speaking to people criticising the event who never actually attended it.
The railways being privatised and running on time is a piss take because they were privatised in reality and it's highly debatable if anything improved.
They made a slight mistake here (not on improving as that was obviously a joke). But the skit says its 63 years to 2001, so 1938. The Trains weren't nationalized until 1948 when the Government bought the private train companies.
They said they were privatised so that they wouldn't swallow up public funds, the privatised railways now get more funding than British Rail ever had for a far worse service while the "profits " are given to shareholders.
KB, remember on The Inbetweeners, when the lads went on work placement, and Will ended up in a garage? One of the mechanics called him Cholmondley-Warner because he spoke so proper. This is where he got that from.
Yeah, pretty much everyone said it was going to be a waste of money, except Tony Blair and the government who seemed to think it was going to be equivalent to The Sydney Opera House or The Eiffel Tower or something.
@@lmcgregorukactually the Dome was commissioned by the outgoing Tory Government under Major. Labour inherited it in May 1997 and with just two years to the millennium the money had already been largely spent. Its thanks to the Blair Government the O2 arena was born as the Tories had made no plan for what to do with it afterwards.
@@johnatkinson7126I imagine this was filmed before they knew how successful the eye would be, plus, if they meant the Millennium Bridge, I doubt they'd have used the word enormous, and pointed high in the air.
This is a very clever skit satirising "progress". Viewers are noted to observe that what looks on the surface as absurd miscalculation by filmmakers from the 1930s has actually come true, e.g. women working outside the home but still being expected to do most of the housework, cooking and childcare.
I tried "jollity" several decades ago. A jolly massive rave was had by all that evening I can tell you. A hit song came out around that time, which we all played on our gramophones and at all the best balls, and the lyrics went something like: "Js are jolly good, Js are jolly good, Js are really jolly good. Has anyone got any Jollities? Lovely!"* *Look up The Shamen and you'll get my drift.
The Mullinum Dome cost Millions to build and its just a massive Dome eye sore looks like a bowl amd thats the bowls they would eat from tn the 30s my nan still used them when i was a kid very much a British only joke of the year 2000 its where they made the Queen & PM celebrate New Years Eve 1999-2000
There's bound to be a video explaining the Millennum Dome that might be worth a reaction... 2 *must-watch* Enfield sketches: "Kevin Becomes A Teenager" and "Women: Know Your Limits!"
If you haven't seen them the 'women' ones are.... Women: Know Your Limits! Women: Keep Your Virtue Women: For Pity's Sake Don't Drive and there is also The Conjugal Rights Guide ....but I'm not sure how funny Queen Boomer would find them.
If you like these, I suggest watching the Welsh version of piss taking in the form of John Sparkes’s “Barry Welsh Is Coming”. Hilarious stuff from the 2000’s.
Another great vid. Do like watching your reactions to our UK humour. If you want a classic then I would suggest an amazing film called Withnail & I. Although I don’t suggest you play the Withnail & I drinking game!
I have become a bit bingey . The Millennium dome . You have such a cracking sense of humour . Belly button piercing 😮 My neighbour got one done after she had her hysterectomy. She wasn't exactly toned and skinny . But it made her feel good . Whatever. 😂😂 Let's all walk around on eggshells. Get out of fekking town . ♡
The tupperware dome is a reference to the millennium dome in London. Celebrated for being the biggest waste of uk tax payers money in the 20th century.
I actually went to exhibition at Millennium Dome and like it said on ticket it was one amazing Day in my opinion anyway, I have happy memories of that day, it annoyed me at time how media were speaking to people criticising the event who never actually attended it, I found it inspiring especially technically and scientifically view of the future plus I love the architecture of the building.
That's exactly what a friend of mine said to everyone who hadn't gone but thought they knew better. Different argument to whether other things should have been funded instead, or how badly the project was managed etc. I suppose believing the outcome was rubbish helps to confirm you were right if you were against the idea of it from the start.
If you like those little production goofs like with the train... You'd LOVE Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. It's has loads of them and it has Matt Berry from IT crowd.
Watching the Royals from the USA (the "Boomers") is the highlight of my day when it's been a "sh...y" day. King Boomer's reaction to Harry Enfield sketches have me rolling on the floor...
I say to you sir, what's the point in getting married if you have to cook your own food, do the washing and ironing, clean the house, look after the kids etc etc.
Once you hit a certain weight and age imo. I took mine out when I was in my early 30’s as I couldn’t be arsed putting it back in because I was having multiple surgeries also I think it looks tackier after a certain age. My sister is 10yrs older than me and still has her belly button piercing and she’s 57 lol. Mutton
@@travelbugse2829 some tattoos age badly, others don’t. It depends on what you’ve had done, where it is and how good the ink is and if you look after it. Many moons ago I was training to be a tattooist until poor health took hold. My sisters tattoo looks bad because at 57 she had the skin of someone in their late 70’s due to being a sun worshipper. She’s been asked many times over the years if she is my mum which pissed her off and made my day 😂. We don’t get on lol
@@Neenie1976 Well I just scrutinised your profile pic, and you're looking good for 27 and three quarters ;) - if that is an honest representation - but I have to be realistic and say at my advanced age your sis would be more in my league these days! 😜
The "Giant Tupperware Bowl" is a mickey-take out of the Millennium Dome that was built in Greenwich, London. When it opened to the public in January 2020 it featured numerous pointless 'zones' as they didn't really plan what to do with it after using it as a giant party venue for NYE for the Queen and Tony Blair. It's now called the O2 and hosts concerts and stuff (Fun Fact, I've been there a couple of times to watching taping of WWE Raw when it came to the UK)
Hey KB. Could you do my favourite Cholmondley Warner vid on 'Conjugal Rights' (suggested link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5Ivsb79-h90.htmlsi=PQxu95rJvV9T2-Ag) please?
Very curious to know from you if the accents work. As a Brit, I can tell you they are a pitch-perfect pastiche of the ultra-posh BBC accent that dominated TV and radio back when I was a nipper. Just the word "Hello!" becomes comical. The sound-world alone of these clips cracks me up (with the perfect backtrack of wheezing brass bands on wonky gramophone players).
