American Reacts to Harry Enfield Women Know Your Limits 

Some people are too quick to be offended where as you see it as a bit of comedy. Good for you.

Hmm careful, you're dangerously close to having an opinion there Lynn.

Bless your comedy appreciation, but shouldn't you be getting your husbands dinner ready or commenting on a funny kitten video or something ;)

Lynn , what are you doing on the internet and who showed you how to use it? :)

I see the Wi-Fi works in Lynn's kitchen

It's also tongue in cheek, it's poking fun at old school attitudes towards women, not at women.

That is a dangerous and reckless opinion of your own.

It's a piss take of men and their sexist, repressive attitudes

In all fairness “offence cannot be given, only taken” is kind of nonsense. It can certainly be given intentionally. One modern-day example of this is where someone demands someone else lose their job, maybe over a Twitter comment they made 8 years ago. That’s intentionally offensive, an intended to be.

@@yinoveryang4246 thanks for the mansplaining 😳🙄😂😂😂

Did you “get your coat”?

Now we know,, oh we know now..

😂😂😂😂well you big girls blouse😂😂

" it’s funny because it points out the prejudice" And because it happens to be true ! Men don't want CLEVER women - they want FEMININE ones................and most would prefer a lady who loved kittens to one who regularly reads the _Financial Times_ . Such is Life !

Yet nowadays the BBC is so politically correct they would brand this as sexist and offensive and it would get cancelled as soon as somebody from the PC mob complained. Sadly the UK is being controlled by a vocal minority of PC nutcases who want anything they deem slightly offensive cancelled and we likely won't see comedy like this made again any time soon.

@@Will831100 " a vocal minority of PC nutcases " Do you think they'd object to a return of _The Black and White Minstrel Show_ ? I appreciate that SOME people would find the mock-American accents offensive, but that's nothing a competent voice coach couldn't sort out ! From what I hear from friends - I chucked my telly out seven years ago - most of today's TV commercials bear a striking resemblance to the show anyway. Or am I missing the point ?

@@marvinc9994 The big issue is what's pointed out on the vid itself. The people i'm talking of nowadays just don't seem to get ironic comedy and parody or if they do they cannot seem to tolerate or understand it. I wish I could fully understand these people's ways but I can't pretend I do. All I do know from experience is you cannot for the most part debate or question them lest you face the cancel culture mob. For what it's worth I gave up TV for the most part myself several years ago also because as I pointed out about the BBC it's being taken over more and more by the woke, PC people and it's either repeats or politically biased nonsense for the most part, precisely why you won't see anything like this now. They're more concerned with making historical shows where Anne Boleyn is suddenly black so they can score brownie points with the woke brigade rather than be historically accurate. If you were ever a Doctor Who fan look at it's downfall thanks to PC/woke culture getting it's hands on it the last few years.

@@Will831100 Thanks for that, Will - I'm _genuinely_ grateful for your observations. What REALLY gets me about the Woke Brigade is their INVERTED Sense of Morality: they inveigh constantly against Hatred, whilst being brimful of malignity themselves; they warble on about 'racism' - whilst calling for the destruction of the White Race; they demand 'diversity' in WHITE societies, whilst being totally mute about the murder of white farmers in BLACK South Africa......................etc etc etc. And as for their Historic AND Scientific Ignorance............................................... The more vocal among their number are Empty Vessels, of course - filled with the toxin of Cultural Marxism (call it what you will). And they are SO stupid, that they cannot even see how destructive they are to the society which has nourished and protected them, how manipulated by (excuse my poetic excesses, here) our Dark Masters - and how (in all probability) despised they are by the same as the 'useful idiots' _de nos jours_ ! Dangerous - and depressing times, Will: but that's even MORE reason for the _awakened_ among us to re-direct _the woke_ towards Truth. It wasn't Wishful Thinking, after all, that won the Battle of Britain for the Forces of Light ! Strength to your arm, my Friend !

Exactly. I honestly don't understand how this could be misinterpreted, not unless you're extraordinarily thick.

@@Palmieres He doesn't know it was made in the 1990s as a parody. The joys of being a teenager in the 1990s is that we would have watched this religiously and gone into school the next day saying all of the jokes, but a lot of other people will not have heard of Harry Enfield or know that this comedy show was a delight and a cultural pinnacle at the time. But he is right, the parody element would be lost on a lot of people in our current climes.

@@Palmieres Exactly. All the more likely to be aired nowadays, as it`s clearly a very feminist sketch.

@@pxr0583 Yes everyone can take a joke, no one gets offended at satire or comedy nowadays. Cough.

@@fuckamericanidiot I said "aired" not "taken offence at". I`d like to think broadcasters can distinguish between the target of a joke and the subject of a joke, even if the woke brigade can`t.

YT didn't like me sharing the link I just posted so I posted it by itself with no comment about it

Loads a money,"I'm considerably richer than yow"...hilarious and "You don't wanna do it like this,you wanna do it like that"...so true and relatable

always find these comments on old comedy sketches/shows and they're complete codswallop. Why have you stopped at Harry Enfield? Go back a few more years and talk about Bernard Manning and then maybe a few more and talk about the Black & White Minstrel show. Society and tastes move on, it's your perception that there's no good comedy anymore and not the reality

Didn't recognize you without your hat 😜

L is for Labour. L is for Lice.

My mother, bless her soul, rightly told me that the Invergordon mutiny,between the world wars, was a knock on effect of coming off the gold standard. She also laughed at Harry Enfield's wit. She was first married in the 1930s.( All I have commented on in the past has been in the name of Patrick Sinclair)

I loved Mr Chumley Warner playing football smoking a pipe...brilliant

@@helenbailey8419 Yes, 1930's England team vs 1990's Liverpool team. Another funny sketch.

​@@helenbailey8419 Have a look for their old footballer video where a woman is trying to interview them after a game. Can't post a link, YT deletes the comment. It's called "where's the bloke?"

He was not "mocking" life in Britain in the 30s; it was a parody of the old Public Information Films. Suggest you look up the meaning of 'mocking'; it would not be funny, mocking never is.

Absolutely right sir!

Exactly right, it is mocking men

Yes.. and so many miss the obvious joke about the ageing and beard growth since so many scholars certainly then and still are perceived to be old men that have big beards etc

I agree. It would still be fine today, given that it's just a lampoon of 1940s upper-class attitudes.

After 41 years of driving since 1980 in London covering nearly 700,000 miles, mainly in short journeys, I am not at all sure I am laughing quite as much s the Women Driving one as I once did :)

So what does she call you when you say or do something equally as daft, @One Man And His Zebra?

Ivor Hugeknob A number of things. Prat is a favourite of hers as well as gooley.

@@onemanandhiszebra, it's at times like this that I'm overjoyed that I've always been single.

@@Phil_A_O_Fish Amen to that

@@Phil_A_O_Fish Is this the "Fantastic username convention"?

Ah for the good old days, @feraljim, when ALL of the housework was called " women's work " and men were forbidden by social pressure from doing it otherwise they'd be classified as not being real men, wouldn't they? The implication behind your comment is also that if a man's capable of doing it then ANYONE'S equally dumb enough as him to do it, aren't they? ✌️😎✌

We all knew women couldn't really do it.

was it ever about capability, really? Or do women just enjoy doing the housework - satisfying nest building instinct- but not letting on.

@@redf7209 I hate housework ! I blame my mother who said that when she died she would hate to be remembered for having a kitchen floor so clean, you could eat off it. Instead she wanted to be remembered for her abilities as a writer and for any good personality traits she might have.

@@marieravening927 my mother always said she hated ironing but years later as a pensioner she admitted she enjoyed it as meditation time and liked the satisfying feel of smoothing things out.

Because your generation have started to get offended by everything unfortunately.

Modern, if you could ever think of 1992 as modern! This is legitimately "Grandad Comedy" these days! But yeah, nearly everyone watching this will immediately understand the context of the joke. Only 1930s dinner party guests wouldn't get it!

@@CountScarlioni Apart from most Americans 🤣🤣🤣

I'm 57 and I don't remember them. This is a parody of the public information films that used to be shown in cinemas in the 30s and 40s. There were public information broadcasts on tv, in the 60s and 70s but they were nothing like this. There were ones aimed at children... don't talk to strangers, unsafe places to play and how to cross the road etc. Those aimed at adults seemed to be about wearing seatbelts and drink driving. They still exist today but look different again. The anti speeding ones spring to mind. :)

Your comment made me laugh out loud. Top marks and Thanks!

I say what I like and I like what I bloody well say!!

It would "pass muster". The funny thing is, with so many things like this, that there are always way more people saying "you couldn't say that now.." (the implication being that PC has gone too far) about a given joke than there are people who actually object to it. Basically, the 'oppressed victim' status that some people on the Right try to claim is in their imagination. They love the 'you can't say that anymore' line, when in reality you can say what you like. There are still lots of satirical comics who use this exact style of deadpan irony to point out the ridiculous, and they do OK. Bill Burr for instance, often uses apparently face-value sexism to flag up the idiocy of sexism, and he seems to be doing just fine. A tiny group of irony deficient morons take to Twitter to complain and the VAST MAJORITY of reasonable, liberal, perspective-having people ignore them. Burr is uncancellable because he's a brilliant stand up, and his ticket sales seem to indicate that that tiny group of disingenuous, virtue signaling idiots have no effect at all, other than to give him more publicity and more fans. These fake liberals and their 'reactionary-for-effect' counterparts feed off each other. The one side loves to be outraged, complain and accuse while the other loves to offend, provoke and pretend to be oppressed. Here's the thing: A lot of second rate comics trade on PC, or the perception of it, for their act. Roy Chubby Brown simply uses the words 'Paki' and 'Queer' (even n****r) on stage and his fans scream with laughter and talk about how 'brave' he is to rail against PC. Ask yourself how brave he really is, when he knows his audience are a 100% white, straight monoculture who hang on his every epithet. The truth is, if there was no PC then those words would have no shock value and he'd actually have to write jokes instead. PC therefore works in the interest of the deliberately offensive, not against them, but they keep on claiming to be victims of it.

Yes!!

Trump is finished, Thank God.
