As an Irish person I can confirm that when I'm having family dinner and someone finds a fly in their soup, we have the irresistible urge to destroy the table.
Today the wokies would be complaining about racial stereotypes and BBC would be scared to show it for fear of offending people who believe they are flies.
I think the fact no one can keep a straight face makes it pure genius. Still one of the funniest things I have ever seen. I keep coming back to it at least once a week.
The German one....oh god, I had pains under my ribs and tears in my eyes from laughing....I was not expecting that one at all. Wonderful comedy when we were allowed to laugh at what was obviously meant to be funny.
@@Jasmineofarabia88 Each of Spike Milligan's BBC series was call Q followed by a number. Q5, Q6, Q7 and so on apart from his last series which had a totally different name. I Assume this sketch was from Q8. In the opening titles he did a play on words with Q8 translating to Kuwait. I assume this is why it says Kuwait on the back wall. Very clever and very subtle.
We are amazed this was uploaded ten years ago, and it managed to survive on YT this long, considering. But then, we have other Spike stuff up, so maybe anybody who'd likely get their knickers in a twist, just hasn't noticed it yet :)
Jesus... people like you are worse than people who get offended by everything. There is LITERALLY still comedy like this. Offensive humor is alive and well. The Shivering Truth for example has plenty of jokes poking fun at race and other sorts of edgy jokes.
Dangerous stuff !, watched this in NZ on first day of the new year, and laughed so much, i actually fell out of my bed. I,m 72 and lament what "they" have done to my world 😂
Not one dislike! After at least FIVE YEARS! The social just-as zombies must either be clueless, or are so offended they left it alone! There is a God, and one of His angels is Spike.
England: -Wai'tuh, wai'tuh, there is a fly in my soup! -Oh yeah! France: -Duai'te, duai'te, zere is a flÿ in my zoup! -Do not worry zir, the zspider on the bread ruoll will get in! Deutschland: -Vaïter, vaïter, ther- is a fly in mÿ zzzzzoup'eh! -JEWISH FLŸ! (REVOLVER SHOOT) Israel: -Väitêr, väitêr, the's a fly ima soup'ah- -That will be a paund-extra sîr! Ir'länd: -Wai'r, wai'r… -Yes, yes sir? -There's a floi in moi söup! -Don't worry sir, i'll save him!
There a fly in my soup. " be quite or everyone will want one. Wouldn't it be great if someone started up a channel that was entirely and completely anti-PC. the PC brigade and the wokeies would be so busy blasting it they would leave us all alone to get on with the fun lives we used to enjoy before those bastards came along.
Spike Milligan, a comic genius. Read Adolph Hitler, my part in his downfall and you’ll see that, in the zany world of Milligan, even national service was a riot.
Yeah, it's crazy. It's hardly a surprise John Cleese and Rowan Atkinson, now appeared to have thrown their hat at it now, suggesting good comedy is no longer possible if you have to check out who may be offended by your routine.
