Constable Savage: Racist Police (Not The Nine O'Clock News) 

"Thank you very much sir!"

with a good script we could even make you look funny.shame these days we got the very imbodyment of unfunny called hannor gadsby you get kicked out of her show after paying to see her for asking where the all the funny.this won awards recently .we "told" her man hating rape jokes are comedy gold ? i highlight the word told as we not sure when the right time to cry is .i rather watch concrete dry than trust a critic.

And he had me on Kidodo.

The point is, he's a comic actor, not a stand up comic. So naturally he delivers the lines straight because he is playing a part, not presenting himself.

The BBC (the Black Broadcasting Corporation) has comedians today?

Thin blue line was very good. Got a real kick out of Grimm and Boyle.

"Karen". :)

Was her name Karen?

Tony Blair wouldn't stand a chance.

@@pk1645 neither would your Dad

Classic line

School playgrounds can recite that is amazing can it do Shakespeare

Similar here. I probably was 15. Constant repetition in the school yard, along with most sketches from Life of Brian.🤣

@@neilfranklin5644 If only they could talk.

I still know every word of every sketch on Hedgehog Sandwich. And I dont regret a thing x

Totally agreed, a must watch back in my school days, be about 14 at the time, great laugh the next day. Great times.

Loud shirt is homaphobic racicst and anti lesbian

Yup im goose steping to the pub 4a sub

you would think it was a crime to exist the way we're treated

I'm here because of that video

@@shanecabbage2187 I never even knew he'd gotten involved in it, now I have to find and watch the video.

Brilliant

Funnier than the church complaining at the life of Brian being a rip off of the life of Jesus Christ sketch?

@@matthewyabsley yet he denys it at evey chance and still told how lucky he is.

@@matthewyabsley it’s the other way around. They were lampooning the talk show where Malcolm Muggeridge and the Bishop of Southwark debated the alleged blasphemous connotations of the Life of Brian with John Cleese and Michael Palin. In there comic version however they were saying the story of Jesus Christ was blasphemous and plagiarised from the story of Brian. They switched it around. That was the joke of the sketch.

It was the same then.

Good point! You could probably be arrested for that now.

A lot of these charges are becoming more realistic

@@nthgth Certainly. Rowan Atkinson himself thinks so. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BiqDZlAZygU.html

You can see where that’s going 😂

@@nthgth "Looking at me in a funny way" "Wearing a loud shirt in a built up area after dark" "Possession of an Offensive Wife" Yep, Public Order Offence could be applied to those

Lol so true

Oh my goodness we are there in 2020/21😳! Coughing without due care and attention

Just ask Marilyn Manson.

Honestly people who don't cover their mouths when they cough should be shot. Also people who open their mouths while chewing.

Anything a Liberal doesn't like gets you arrested now!

He played Inspector Fowler

The quiz championship episode was my favourite.

😑

As any number of RU-vid videos will testify.

Agreed

Or now saying a female Police officer looks like my lesbian nana.

Yes that is a crime in 2023.

Indeed, it seems it is now actually an offence to cough without due care and attention!

​@@RalooRocker Really? Does it seem that way to you? In the 1950s there was a campaign to protect public health with the slogan "Coughs and sneezes spread diseases; catch them all in a handkerchief." Today, who even has a handkerchief? And that's even during and after COVID I think you'll find people today are freer than they've ever been and don't even care. So less of this absolute bollocks about being so oppressed you can't cough or say anything you want.

Strong moral statement ? Transferring him to the SPG (Special Patrol Group) ?

@@philippankhurst6680 Yes, it's starting that when your racism is recognized in the force, you get promoted. In other words, highlighting that institutional racism gets rewarded. It was a satirical sketch

@@philippankhurst6680 it clearly went over your head. The SPG was eventually disbanded

@@philippankhurst6680 'Strong moral statement ? Transferring him to the SPG (Special Patrol Group) ?' - Yes, because the SPG were known thugs and in one notorious case as murderous thugs. Perhaps you didn't know that.

@@bettyss6824 'The SPG was eventually disbanded.' - Its name was changed for cosmetic purposes.

He absolutely carried some mannerisms over to thin blue line!

Yes I believe my school pals and I could pretty much recite that scene word for word the morning after it was aired 😂

Wild? I was livid. David bloody Attenborough. Classic lines.

Definitely agreed. Still at school at the time but it was a must watch so that you could have a good laugh with all your mates the next morning in maths instead of your times tables or Algebra. Lol.

Thin blue line?

@@ChuckieFinzter No, it's Not The Nine O' Clock News. It's some years before Thin Blue Line. Rowan Atkinson is younger in this. But if you are asking Rowan Atkinson as Inspector Raymond Fowler, yes you are correct. That's Thin Blue Line.

@@chandrashekharv9824 Yes I recall a very pretty Indian girl. Constable Habib.

@@ChuckieFinzter Yes Mina Anwar

@@chandrashekharv9824 Yes, Maggie Habib... That the lovely lady

yes. well kind of. the oldbill can now use a person looking at them in a way that is "suspicious" as grounds to stop and question the person. as the copper will then try to "calm the situation down and deescalate". yah its going to get you arrested 9 times in 10. :)

You're 100% correct.

* it's * * it's *

The irony is that it was and was for many years after indicative of the police, being institutionally racist as the McPherson report concluded following the botched murder investigations after the killing of Stephen Lawrence in Eltham, SE London.

Yes, all the "offences" apart from "caught in possession of curly black hair and thick lips" could apply to anyone, irrespective of race, creed, colour etc. The sketch would have worked equally well without the racist overtones to Savage's allegations - a general hatred of "the public".

@@Mortimer50145 if you didn't understand the pouint of the sketch that's fine, but making that public here was a bit silly really 🙄🙄

@@vincepeterbilt3450 I understood the point of sketch perfectly well once the thick lips were mentioned. My point was that the racial component wasn't essential - and indeed some might say that if it was remade nowadays, the whole sketch could be reproduced without the racial reference and it would still be funny from the "police hate the public" aspect. Do you feel differently? Would it have worked substantially less well for you if the thick lips line had been removed but otherwise the sketch was unchanged?

Sums up many terrible RU-vidrs

@@Megaspartan23 not to mention the whole of west midlands police force.i was stopped and abused by armed police walking my dog .apparently my crime was being on the doll.i should of took his name and badge but he had a gun and was very threatoning .you might be able to take offense of what i just said.accept we not on facebook.

It's the reason people join the police. You have to be some kind of psychopath to want to join.

I think the sketch was in 1980 since you have Griff already playing Savage. He joined in the second season and replaced Chris Langham who is part of the original 1979 cast.

Sadly a hell of a lot of dyed in the wool racists also fought bravely against the Nazis and their hideous regime, and yet saw nothing unusual about going back home and continuing in their racist beliefs, there just was not the education or backlash against it back then. My parents generation is mostly casually racist to this day, not a bad bone in their bodies except they are programmed to think of any one coloured as Pakis, Coons, Golliwogs etc, if you bring them up on it they just look at you as if your from outer space.

I really cant make it in the end what he saya at 3:48

@@viktor.madarasz s.p.g, special patrol group. the violent police mob sent in to crack heads

Absolutely, but don't forget Hale and Pace. Or Dave Allen.

@@viktor.madarasz He says ''Is this your hedgehog Sir?''

@@viktor.madarasz.. is this your hedgehog sir ? ( And that refers to another sketch where a hedgehog gets squashed ) 👍

One big thing has changed, most people have a mobile phone to record this ongoing injustice. So much of it can now at least be exposed for the whole world to see. The American Police can attack reporters and cameramen but not every witness with a phone.

@@MrDiddyDee because you have a gob. Gobs are the most dangerous idiots in the world. You.opened yours, you had to spoil it. How old are you? Attacking reporters? Why would anyone do that? To think of that tells me youbare an idiot first class, you are rare thankfully, thank God!

Erm, alot has changed actually, as this was about 6 years or so, before The PACE Act 1984 came along.

Agree. It's as funny now as it was then.

@@MrDiddyDee The American police,don’t have The PACE Act 1984 & Britain does,so over there,if a cop hits someone,its harder to get them prosecuted than over here. Look at 1980s police actions on camera & you’ll see multiple-baton strikes to the head & torsos as well as vans driving into people.

And "Smelling of English food in a town centre fast food protected zone"

Group. Tactical Support Group. Not Unit.

@@samfyfe2949 👍

Think most of the PC brigade would say the Police in general these days. LOL.

I was down South Bank a few weeks back, and bizarrely TSG officers were on routine patrol. Maybe they expected the ‘living statues’ to kick off.

Not the 9'oclock news took piss taking to a whole new level, there has been nothing like it since except maybe blackadder goes forth.

At a railway station in Brisbane, Australia, there is a sign. No Loitering. Hmmm, Loitering with intent to Board a Train???

@@roberttorvalds3571 For God's sake , have You really seen such a sign? "No Loitering." ? Brisbane, Australia?When? Please tell me , even if it was 40 years ago now. Best regards Dimitar

@@dimitargetsov9690 1995, Dutton Park

and the outro?

@@corkygobshite9941 Well said. And the fucking awful music.

Dean Wilkinson do you mind? That's the Pet Shop Boys. Oh yeah, I see your point.

@@corkygobshite9941 And the middletro?

RealityCheck6T9 It’s Electronic, actually. It features Neil Tennant, but it’s not The Pet Shop Boys

..and with the reputation of being yobbo’s

or a glaswegian hamster

They got disbanded with allegationd of their officers making racist comments about pakistanis and using radios and axes as weapons if they lost their batons 😂

@@user-sc9oy1kz8g so, they got disbanded for actually doing their job and enforcing the law against illegals?

@@pteppig 😂😂 arguably. They scared the shit out of everyone and their mere presence was iften enough to make people flee, so yes they did their job well in a sense.

Hmmmm.. I'd have said it was far more reality at the time personally. When did you last read or hear about a black person being arrested for ANYTHING? Never mind on petty trumped up charges.

the police will arrest anyone for so much as breathing nowadays. Fancy a dance at a pride parade?😂

It had always be reality, it's just not taboo anymore.

@@frankbrodie5168 happens every day now. thats how out of touch you are

Agree hello iz homaphobic anti lesbian and nazi properganda

Same here 🤟

same

He looked like he had a baton up his a...

It's a cockney walk. They all walk as if they have a small fallus wedged between their buttocks.

It is not quite as bad as walking around with an offensive wife.

In the 1950s, when TB was rife, it was an offence to spit in the street.

@@u.v.s.5583 You are correct. You never know when one of those things will go off. Very unstable.

@@u.v.s.5583 "It is not quite as bad as walking around with an offensive wife." Maybe that is the reason why Diane Abbott's husband decided that he had to divorce her...

It is now.....

LOL

I find it really funny that black parents named their sons Winston back then because they respected Winston Churchill I think. Never met a white Englishman called Winston LOL

@@punanny123 not aware of John Winston Lennon then?

@@ianmcnally7755 Well I need to hear about white men with Winston as a first name not a middle name. I can't think of any but I have known about 10 different brothers in my life with Winston as their 1st name though lol.

I'm not sure that's irony

@@RealityCheck6T9 You're right. Not ironic, but very telling

Although he's only generally known internationally for playing an autistic semi-verbal man, he has in fact played many policemen and vicars as well.

"6 years down the line".. That show was 42 years ago.

????? . 😂

Not enough police like this on the beat .. we need them now. As a old fart I remember the respect for the bobby on the beat or you got a beating . Not much street crime in my time . remember our local bobby sorting out a drunk beating his wife . Didn't happen much with our local bobby about . Ex military man. I can just imagine someone of ethnic background with a knife ?? Telling you our local man would put down three drunks. Even if they were sober .. as for the park keeper with his war medals on ,gammy leg war wound chasing a man in a brown coat out of the bushes . This man offered me a florin to play with something ,told parky . Man in hospital with a cracked skull . Was he prosecuted ?? Trying to claim compo .no he kept quiet because he would have been floating down the Thames .. bring back more old farts of ex military walking the beat .

Your point is somewhat blunted by the knowledge that committing some of these actions, while unvaccinated or not being sure the other party has been vaccinated, can ultimately cause the severe sickness or death of yourself or the other party. You know….the virus and all that.

@@CapKaboom then sharpened again by Boris and his cronies having parties while the rest of is suffered

@@jimmymcguire8217 The harmful actions taken by others does not invalidate or erase the productive actions we take ourselves.

@@CapKaboom it does in some cases I think you'll find

@@CapKaboom can ultimately cause the severe sickness or death of yourself or the other party. You know….the virus and all that......... can , might , in some cases , could possibly. now if it was a 50-50 chance of catching or giving the virus , i'd be worried. but with the millions of people in this country , who go about their daily lives and do ' not ' catch anything , the " can ultimately " drops to a very slight 1 % of catching or passing , with a smaller % actually becoming ill , and a smaller percentage dying. it " CAN " but that does not mean it " WILL " .

PC Gone Mad was on the beat while this all went down.

Could it be that the offensive wife is a colored person?

@@u.v.s.5583 Mrs Kodogo? Mmmmmmm. Possibly. Did she look at Savage in a funny way?

@@andydudley1775 2 weeks.... I think not.

They do the same with poor people, regardless of color.

Like Humberside Police want to criminalise people for "giving you the ick".

It's not. It is from "Not the Nine O'Clock News".

I think there is now 😂
