Top 5 funniest jokes from the Carry On comedy film series in Britain from the 1950s to the 1970s - Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Peter Butterworth and the rest of the team.
A vague memory - I think it must have been a Carry On that contained the exchange: "If you're a pirate where are your buccaneers?" "On the side of me buccin 'ead"
In Carry on Doctor, Barbara Windsor sees Peter Gilmore eating a piece of fruit. Babs: "What a lovely looking pear." Gilmore: "You took the words right out of my mouth."
From Carry On Jack: (On a sailing frigate, 1800) "What's that plaque on the deck?", "That's where our last captain fell.", "Yes, I nearly tripped on it myself."
All classics. My favourite is Hattie Jacques in Carry on Again Doctor ´I´m a simple woman and I want to be wooed´ Kenneth Williams replies ´Oh you can be as wooed as you like with me!` Absolute genius.
What about the gag where Kenneth Williams says " But Matron I was was once a weak man". To which she repies " Oh Doctor, once a week is enough for any man".
Carry on Cowboy "I'm the Mayor" Sid: You better watch out for my horse, hasn't seen a mare for weeks." Best I can remember from nearly 60 ya. Never forgotten it.
Carry On Up The Khyber: Brother Blecher: "I've never ridden in a cart pulled by cows before." Captain Keene: "Bullocks, Mr Belcher!" Brother Belcher: "No, I haven't, honestly."
Fantastic, although can I add these three from Kyber, "...you're a bit of a shot, I hope I heard you correctly!", "Fakir...off", and "I've never been on a cart pulled by cows, Bullucks Mr Belcher, no really I haven't."
May the benevolence of the god Shivoo bring blessings on your house. And on yours. And may his wisdom bring success in all your undertakings. And in yours. And may his radiance light up your life. And up yours.
"Hampton Court?" Had me sniggering for hours. Couldn't get to sleep! I wonder which came first, that or M and W's " Do you have the scrolls? Same punchline.
From Carry On Camping - *Mrs. Fussey [about her daughter Joan and her friend Anthea]:* _"They might think your intentions are honorable, but personally, I've got sore misgivings"_ *Sid Boggle:* _"You ought to put some talcum powder on them"_ 🙃
From Carry on Dick, at the tailors: Sergeant Strapp: There's a notorious inn just as you go into Lower Dencher here. Captain Fancey: The Old Cock, on the right. Isaac: Aha! Well that's where we've been goin' wrong! Captain Fancey: Ye- What? Isaac: I've made provision on the left.
"No, it has to be the bull" makes me laugh every time. "Wear regulation trousers. That is all." "Miss Alcock" "Do you mind if I smoke" "Frying Tonight!!"
Mine is from Carry on Doctor I think. Patient is ask why he's in hospital and replies old war wound. He's asked to explain and says that he was in a trench when a grenade was tossed in and it landed between his legs and exploded and shrapnel went right up his .... rectum fills in doctor Well didn't do them any bloody good.
All that comes to mind are the cheesy ones "I have done it. Put it in... The sugar" and the bit with the elderly husband and the boarder. "That's the trouble. SHE's pregnant too"
recently, at least one news announcer mentioned a local "'shroom bloom"; for some reason, her comment reminded me of the "poison mushrooms" joke. now, a few days later, i see a version of that joke in this video. coincidence? 🍄☠️
The bet in the last clip for "half a dollar" IIRC, that's back in the days when the exchange rates were pretty stable and would be about a half crown (2s 6d)
All the jokes in the Carry On movies were corny, old, and predictable. I just can't understand why I still laugh my head off every time I watch these stupid movies!
