Bruiser - Husband & Wife 

Chris Bakewell is a ride or die friend. We all need a friend like Chris.

"You've got to work on your communication skills you stupid bitch." Brilliant quote.

Olivia Coleman does a really good job with her character here, I keep forgetting it's her.

"I've only been gay since last Tuesday" tears of laughter!

I can see why Olivia Colman has won so many awards. Her talent is without end. The number of characters that she can take on is amazing.

"No..Not up the ass. I wouldn't do that to you, mate." ROFL

'Can I have my beads back?' 'No, I like them'

Thing is they actually seem like a real british couple

This is one of my favourite sketches. There's no gimmick to it, or like a punchline or joke as such, it's just dialogue between two characters. I have met people exactly like the husband and wife, a very certain kind of British person that these two portray perfectly, not just with the London working class accent, but their mannerisms and idiosyncrasies. The kind of language they use and the way they lay out their ideas and thoughts is just so fucking accurate to that certain type of people you meet in London, the UK and probably elsewhere in the world. And it's just them talking and the writing is just fantastic because while it's very funny, plays out like it could be an actual real conversation a couple would have.

Martin Freeman is one of my favorite actors ever. He is also just an amazing actor.

This is a strangely accurate depiction of a very particular type of English couple

Lol. That's the greatest reaction. "I haven't enjoyed sex with you for the last 8 months." *next episode* "I"m gay."

No, not up the arse. I wouldn't do that to you, mate.

No wonder these two went on to have the successful careers they have. Brilliant as these characters 😂😂😂😂

20 years later...DO YOU DO POISON?

"I haven't enjoyed sex with you for the last 8 months." "I have." LOL what a chad

I've watched this so many times, and I've just realised they have the sofa in the middle of the lounge and facing away from the TV and coffee table.

"Who was that, then?" "That was uhh... gay. ...gay chat line."

Martin Freeman and Olivia Colman on the same screen is just.... ahhhhh.

a bit of gay chat. Fucking brilliant.

"Being married to an infidel ......" - Best line ever

Brilliant. "well, I hope he's brought his flag" bahahahahahaha, you gotta sympathize. And Martin Freeman, he is just ridiculously perfect at anything he tries.

“I saw it when it was worth looking at” Savage..😂😂

"You're supposed to be obedient and dress like a sort of under-cover nun"

I love how they behave like a normal couple, it adds to the funny bits, makes everything he says all the more absurd, and she plays the harried wife excellently.

"ohh that is such a load of venutian shit" is fucking genius

I'm loving all these Americans on Bruiser clips that only know Martin Freeman for The Hobbit. Bless!

"Gayity gayness" my new favourite saying

In my opinion these are amongst Coleman's best performances.

"Where in the koo-ran?"

Martin Freeman AND Olivia Colman IN A SKETCH SHOW why haven't i found this before

"I looked into his eyes, and I saw murder."

"No not up the arse mate, I wouldn't that to ya!" hilarious.

*doorbell rings* "That'll be Chris, come to kill me." "I hope he's brought his flag." Hahahaha :'D

I don't know you guys, but this is probably the single greatest collection of actors with the best deliveries on the planet. I mean every clip is just a banger it's ASTOUNDING.

Gary is an emotional roller coaster I love it 😂😂😂😂

What a great find. I know Colman worked a lot with her comedy buddies Webb and Mitchell, but I've never seen these. Thanks for posting So funny!

Martin Freeman is a national treasure

This is actually a perfect example of a stable relationship. Communication is key 👌

"You're supposed to be obedient and dress like an undercover nun" 😂

Olivia is awesome in this sketch!

Olivia Coleman is such a good actress. She was always under appreciated in mitchell and webb and Peep Show

Martin Freeman is such a great actor. He can do anything from comedy like this to dark-humored intelligent shows like Sherlock. Not to mention the many date movies, fantasy movies, and various other comedies he's starred in. His talent is truly something to be reckoned with.

Olivia Coleman actually won an Oscar for this, it just came late

Somehow the Spurs shirt was the perfect touch

i first saw olivia colman in this video and i'm so glad she's come so far, winning an oscar and all

Fucking awesome!! These could almost be actual people. This could almost be an actual reality show. They've got everything down to a tee. The slightly tilted lampshade, the Sun newspaper, the furniture, the clothes, the characters. Fucking wonderful.

"You're supposed to dress like a kinda undercover nun"

This is genius. What a lost gem this series was with some absolutely top-notch writing and star talent. Can we see this re-released on a major platform please!

dress like an undercover nun hahahahhahha

I love Olivia Coleman, and oh my, she looks fine here.

I'm American, but I've seen every episode of the The Royale Family, so I know this is a spot-on real life British marriage.

Freeman’s little fake smirk of incandescence at 00:20 ish is just perfect

I have a friend who is genuinely 100% like this.

"No I don't!" "SEE! You didn't think that through"

I loved Bruiser and Big Train. Both under-rated.

Olivia Coleman is an amazing character builder

"I've only been gay since last tuesday". 😂😂😂

2 of the best actors in the world. I am currently watching Ms. Colman in Flowers. I recommend it highly.

Olivia is brilliant :)

I keep replaying this and still laughing 😂😂😂 I love Martin Freeman!

we neeeeeed outtakes of this

Wowza. Olivia is really cute as a blonde.

no offense, Martin Freeman but someone's got to say that Olivia Colmam is hilarious! hands down.

does anyone else think he started to act gay to get back at her for saying she didn't enjoy sex lol?

gary it's hardly gonna titillate me

Dunno what I did to get the algorithm to bring me to this but for a change I'm overjoyed.

This is so brilliantly acted by both of them. :)

Bilbo just hasn't been the same since he went there and back again.

I absolutely love this sketch. I've watched this over 10 times...perfect performance from both of them.

Every time Martin says "dirty" whether here or The Office, I crack up. dirty bertie. lol

"gimme my beads back" "no I like them"

Pam and Mick had a rough start in their marriage, I'm glad they're okay now.

That Chris Bakewell is bad news

And now she has an Oscar... 👏

This is brilliant. Can't believe it didn't catch on as a show.

Oh my god. Tears. Sides. Lungs. Funniest sketches I've seen in a long time.

I know someone who is just like the husband - even has the same hair and dress sense. And he lives in Essex...

I never knew I could find Martin Freeman so insufferable 🤣 Brilliant acting, the both of them

Martins delivery on "I av" was so perfect.

this is fucking brilliant all the way through

God I fancy Olivia's character here

She looked great in that wig.

I like to think this and his part in Ali G are just prequels to Sherlock.

Why am I so fascinated with British accents?

That wife man, true love right there.

it’s so funny watching this having just watched olivia coleman in the crown

"I'll be very surprised if it catches on" xx

I have definitely been a panturist for the 9 months of lockdown.

This is quite possibly one of the funniest skits I've ever seen, ESPECIALLY the gay bit.

"Where in the Kooo-rahn!?"

Oscar winner Olivia Colman

Poor Chris Bakewell! 😂

Olivia Coleman and Martin Freeman are such treasures...

Martin Freeman does that look when he has to point out something, he did it in the office and the hobbit, funny😂😂😂

Winners of An Oscar, a BAFTA an Emmy and golden globe nominees

I knew a Garry shockingly similar to Martin Freeman's character in this!

“I’ve only been gay since last Tuesday”

Bilbo Baggins arguing with Sophie Chapman. Could it get any better than this?

"you're supposed to dress...like an undercover nun..." Love it!
