Go Johnny Go Go Go Go | The League of Gentlemen | BBC Studios 

"It's a cross between Hoover and 8 men down" it sounded like Pemberton was making those up on the spot lol

As a person who doesn't know how to play cards at all, and I mean, at all, this is perfect and accurate 100%

Easily one of the best television series of all time.

Me and a friend tried to pull this off with a 3rd unsuspecting victim but we kept laughing too much and he figured out we were trying to pull his leg lol

The Doc is me every time I play a card game.

Steve Pemberton's 'Ya doooo' line at 0:57 really cracks me up.

For gods sake. OK one more bloody time: Jacks are worth 10, Kings are worth 3 apart from one eyed jacks which are wild cards. Round one you get a hand of 9, round two you get a hand of 7. 2s are wild cards apart from diamonds which retain their face value except the king of diamonds obviously. We play in sequence unless you can match a pair or play a card in ascending or decending order. If you can that's a 'Go Johnny Go Go Go Go' Stand up put the cards on the table and shout 'Go Johnny Go Go Go Go'. The winner is the man with the most tricks after 15 hands.

watched this so many times that i think im starting to understand how to play it

This is how I feel when playing cards. "It's so easy, you'll pick it up". By the end of it I'm sweating

"This is Go Johnny Go Go Go Go, not Fam A Lama Fizz Vag!"

Its s cross between hoover and 8 man down...

One of the best comedy series ever created

Stand up, put your cards down, and shout Go Johnny Go go go go!!! Then the winner is the man with most tricks after 15 hands 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wish they'd put the other part of the same sketch on here. "Now name you pairs"..."YOU CAN'T LOOK AT THEM!" 🤣

This card game is an analogy of life! One is forced to take part (with the rules only marginally explained to them) whilst being flanked by those who all seeem to have the inside track! (Reminds me of some of my old family dinners!)

Doc doesn’t know slippery Jack Mike, don’t know slippery Jack Doc🤣😂

I really want to play bamalamafizzvag

“This is go Johnny go go go go not bamalama vis vag”!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Just brilliant. I moved house recently and went into the local pub got the cards and crib board from behind the bar and asked if anyone wanted a game of go Johnny go go go go and no one did

Where's the bit where one of them says " Very interesting Mr Bond." After a card gets put down? Always cracked me up with the daft voice he used.

I want to play "Bamalamafizzvaj!"

2 people thought it was Bamma Lamma Fizz Fadge

Bam a lam a fizz fadge is clearly the best card game

Surrounded by all the corpses adds to the weirdness

I'm so happy to be here with my people, the"starts sweating blood when cards rules are explained" gang. I thought I was alone!

Go Johnny go go go go is awesome!

Classic series brilliant come back and do another series 👍

I did something similar with my dear old mum in the late 1960s, long before LOG. I made up a couple of card games and she didn’t complain. She just laughed. Nothing in the same league as this sketch of course. 😂😂

its like a cross between Hoover and 8 men down

Go Johnny Go go go, all my homies love bama lama fish faj

I want someone to legitimately try to make a guide on how to actually play this game.

But we'll come to those in a moment...

They recreated this skit on their current tour

This sketch is now Legendary

Reminds me of a scene From Python's, The Meaning of Life, teacher giving his pupils an unintelligible instruction. HUMPHREY (teacher at a Public School played by Cleese): Entering the classroom where boys are throwing scrunched up paper balls at each other, etc. All right, Just settle down. Settle down. Now, before I begin the lesson, will those of you who are playing in the rugby match this afternoon move your clothes down onto the lower peg immediately after lunch, before you write your letter home, if you're not getting your hair cut, unless you've got a younger brother who is going out this weekend as the guest of another boy, in which case, collect his note before lunch, put it in your letter after you've had your hair cut, and make sure he moves your clothes down onto the lower peg for you. And it continues where only one boy doesn't understand and asks a question. 😂😂

Legendary show

Every time someone is explaining game rules to my ADHD brain...

apart from one-eyed jacks which are wild cards

Absolute class.

Mike Kings Time machine. :)

It's actually pretty simple if you learn the instructions word for word

2 versions of that part too,one was" you used to bets on buckaroo!" and the other live show was "you used to bets on hangman" lol always loved this sketch.

Thinking of the word 'hoover' brought me here 😂

This card game sketch is a lot like a sketch in the Dutch comedy show Debiteuren Crediteuren called Stiften.

Quality scene this laa

Funny as hell. I'd like to see the same scene except Jeff takes Steve's place. He gets angrier and angrier at Mark, bursting into angry tirades until Mark finally pushes him over the edge and Jeff is screaming like a mad man, pulls out his 38 and shoots Mark dead. Then Reece and Jeff yell out Go Johnny Go Go Go Go. Maybe even a guest player like Papa L. So many possibilities! Cheers from Syracuse, NY! Lord Robert Douglas

this happens after every northern family meal

Thumbs up if you tried to memorize the rules, but failed. Epicly...

I don't usually mind canned laughter, but if ever there was a show that didn't benefit from it, it's this.

They never did explain the rules for Bamalama-Fizz-Vadge...

this scene wasn't,it was filmed on location. some,eg the dentons scenes,were in a studio with an audience.

This is the jojo comment u were looking for

classic comedy

We used to do this all the time to people. Best when at the drunken cocky stage cos they're trying to impress and win the game. The key is to wait until there just getting the hang of the game and then throw in another rule and just keep doing it. For some reason we always called it Afghan Biscuits. 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂

Johnny: 👨‍🦽👨‍🦽👨‍🦽

Why is the right side of Mark Gatiss’s neck bright red?

everybody know's how to play go johnny go go go go! C'mon!

No it obviously didn't, but plenty of their other sketches were and they needed to keep it consistent. And before you go on about not needing to be 'told when to laugh', The League of Gentlemen started as a stage show, they probably loved having the audience there for instant feed-back.

1st round is 9 cards and the 2nd round is 7 cards, but then he says the winner is the player with the most tricks after 15 hands... but what about the 16 hands that have been dealt is what I want to know 🤔🤔🤔

Isn’t this the first sketch they wrote together?

Jiskefet had the same kind of sketch in the 90s, but in a "the Office" setting: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hZBHkJFcYII.html Anyhoo, after the League of Gentlemen and it's successor Psychoville, there hasn't been any really good humour on TV :(

The canned laughing ruins it

Doc doesn’t know how to play slippery jack mike

A 3?! 😂

they dropped it for the last series, and i am not talking about a stage show, or a live audience, and plenty of sketches is overestimating it a bit. I do agree that they enjoyed having an audience for a live show.

yes but it was still added later and to what end?

Ah, the bbc before it was shit.

Five...

bamalama fizz fadge

the Denton's was shot in front of a studio audience,

BB Bibb

wait are you telling me that this scene was shot in front of a live studio audience? i'm not sure about that

LOL! ... give me a thumbs up if you wanna learn how to play GO Johnny Go Go Go Go !

do think this scene has a live audience?

The guy in the middle looks a little bit like a young Edward Norton.

How dare they steal from the creative genius of David Walliams and Matt Lucas?! Rotate the board!

that was put on after,,,, why bother

How I feel about gang rape.

Its like a cross between hoover and eight men down
