Women: Know Your Limits! Harry Enfield - BBC comedy 

This line is so 2020...

Nice

@StuArt Ish 😢 the BBC used to be fun sometimes. RIP

Hilarious!!!!!!!!

Political correctness has destroyed good humour like this. Surprised this is on RU-vid

Lecturer you say? She is then in fact a Secretary.. Wonderful profession for women until they come to their senses and return to the kitchen..

Classic partridge

"Not my words Carol; the words of Top Gear magazine." "Sonia go to the static home, I'll handle this...Sorry about her lads." "Minor women's whiplash."

@@gillymac9363 🤣 so funny

🤣

Harry Enfield plays rich gentlemen like no other I know.

I'm still trying to find the one about racism. It's not entirely unlike how people view racial harmony today.

@@mantabond why do they always leave the ĺavatory seat UP.

@@Rockercaruthonyoutube Who, gentlemen of means?

It actually does have a rich authenticity in the production and performance, almost Kubrick in styling if that's not a ridiculous thing to say...!

It's funny because it's true. Giving women the vote started the downfall of Western Civilization. Greeks knew it far before it became obvious to those remaining with sense.

Unfortunately we are now making women third class citizens

Same here, it's 27 years now...:)

I'm glad that I am a man. All that I have been able to assertaine from women so far is that I'm being told off. I'll keep you posted!

And here we are, wishing that we never had abandoned the gold standard and wondering, why many students become woke morons or OF girls with blue hair and nose rings.

itchy witchy oh my! I must agree, it was far too complex! Those kittens where quite fluffy!

Thats why I love you Itchy ! ... glad your name aint Hillary or Greta x

You dear sweet thing

@@TwisterMw , Absolutely , be a dear little sweet thing and we will love you ! , Know your limits !

That's all right, dear, you're so pretty and delightful!

I laike the eccents.

Particularly when the conversation turns to more serious issues.

That look as he turns toward her.

It's just bloody brilliant , and soooooo funny. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Thank goodness for real English humour, best in the world .

Spot on.

Now unfortunately we have far leftist humour inflicted upon us, I feel nostalgic and increasingly saddened by the way our once funny, industrious and brilliantly eccentric we once were

Lol😜

W O M E N K N O W Y O U R L I M I T S

Except the over-education victims.

Only by feminism.

But about 1300 were harmed by watching it.

Now I know why I can't get my hairstyle right! Oh, but I do love little kittens!!

Habitens.

​@@susannamarker2582 That's just the English accent heard with American ears? Harridan: a strict, bossy, or belligerent old woman. "a bullying old harridan" synonyms: shrew, virago, harpy, termagant, vixen, nag, hag, crone, dragon, ogress, fishwife, hellcat, she-devil, fury, gorgon, martinet, tartar, spitfire, old bag, old bat, old trout, cow, bitch, battleaxe, witch, targe, scold, Xanthippe" Look at that last one... Weird

@@mickeydrago9401 why the question mark ? Are you asking me or telling me ?

​@@susannamarker2582He's telling you. He doesn't know if you're American.

Overeducated?

And with no sense of humour.

And beard growth.

🤣🤣🤣😍

Sally Muhl if you have to be sexist to make a joke then ur not funny...

Marcus Maher That's probably why she's your ex.

@@keegan773 Because... banter?

@@monopoly1027 no, because she got ideas above her station and Marcus did the correct thing and dropped her off at the asylum obviously. He's just feeling wistful for the days when he still had a delightful girlfriend instead of an over educated harridan.

@@keegan773 because she didn't get the limits.

Maybe if she did she would still be your missus.

+Derrick Domino hi

***** Lol, calm down kiddo. I don't thumb myself up tbqh either, fam.

***** You need to calm down, tbqh fam.

***** Calm down, kiddo

***** Take it easy, kiddo.

Crikey, the woke mob would go into meltdown - LOL.....

There would be so many snowflakes that the entire world would entire a new ice age

and every night for public information

You couldn't AIR THIS, are you kidding? The feminists of today would burn down the BBC.

Reminds me if that skit in family guy when the cave woman finds the caveman's p*rnographic tablets, that bit was hilarious

Quite

Comedy died thanks to a blizzard of snowflakes. Can't even tell a knock knock joke anymore without someone labelling it anti homeless cause they don't have a door to knock.

Gridball 1954 As a big fan of comedy I was particularly talking about the death of sketch shows but sitcoms also seem to be in trouble too now in 2020 for their poor quality and in 1975 for being too hilarious or whatever reason the mob gives. Look at the top 50 sitcoms of all time and the most recent started in 2001 The Office and Phoenix Nights. The only comedy is ageing panel shows like Mock the Week. I still go, pre pandemic, to live comedy where the snowflakes don’t go so you still get a good night but it doesn’t transfer to TV like it used to.

Never to be seen again - thanks to the left-waffe marxism prevalent in western society. BBC are a disgrace - anything it was before with the brilliant award-winning writing of the 2 Ronnies, Blackadder, Not the 9 o'clock news, Harry Enfield, Monty Python, Young Ones, Bottom and the awesome Fast Show is sadly long gone and slowly being erased from history - to be replaced by woko-haram, femi-nazi approved 'comedy'. No need to pay your licence fee any more - unless you want more of this.

John Holmes I thought that was the Jon Holmes then until I saw the extra h. Don’t tease me like that. I used to love the Now Show with Punt, Dennis, Holmes and the remarkably talented Mitch Benn. Bottom I saw live a number of times and still drink out of my bottom mug. I also have all the Comic Strip presents, ch 4 I know. I have not seen anything I would consider comedy on the BBC for a long time. They brought back the League of Gentlemen a few years ago but other than that all panel shows. I go to live comedy a lot pre Wuhan flu and the problem with that is unknown opening acts. This did not used to be an issue and even a few years back you would get Chris Ramsey or someone like that easy going family stuff but last year I saw some weird stuff and one European even said and I kid you not “all this material was sent off to be put through a feminist filter.” That got the biggest laugh of the night. These are normal people outside the London bubble who like a laugh not a lecture. Also go back 10 years and even live lefty comics were funny because their comedy might mention something political in passing but it had a punchline and the act wasn’t consumed by it and there would be lots of other stuff in there too. An example of this would be ex teacher John Moloney who was a regular opening act but even he would not pass muster now as he used to open with “I used to be a German teacher meaning I taught German. I wasn’t taking over other classrooms for no apparent reason.” He’s left wing not not politically correct but when I hear they are taking a Golden Girls episode down for wearing mud masks, not a joke, it begs the question what is acceptable? I certainly don’t know so I will stick with with my box sets of unacceptable material like Black Books, Billy Connolly, Auf Wiedersehen Pet, Father Ted as well as those mentioned above.

The Tracy Ullman show is pretty good, the woke support group sketch was very funny. I'm surprised the BBC were brave enough to air it to be honest.

Where does this science come from? Over educating women somehow leads them to premature aging.

:-))

Oh, how prophetic. They wouldn't stand out in any gender or whatever studies course.

Thats how they look today you see these university wamans and this is how they look shouting black lives matter we hate trump lol

Lol, that was so funny. 🤣

That's the point where I stopped laughing.. Too close to reality

Think it's so cool that Harry never thought he was that funny so wanted to bring along his funny mate Paul for his sketches... Turns out they're both legends! True pioneers

Spoilt by the canned laughter. This is funny. I don't know when to be told to laugh.

EarthIs NotFlat I’ve known a few of them!

Don't think I've ever heard "harridan" used in the US. Had to look it up.

Frantically and absurdly deranged

Gets me every time 😂

I look like that i got an MSc lol

This is one of the funniest comments well elaborated tnx 🤣🤣🤣

L is for Labour. L is for Lice

lol.

If she knows her place, she will laugh for sure...

Well if she laughs she has a brain ! , even though maybe its a little overloaded with this much information

@sos sos As in the meaning the comedian on the video says it, I guess.

She is laughing politely to appease you, as the powerful man in the relationship.... and that's ok.

@@VenturiLife wtf

Irish comedy is better.

List some to watch.

No.

Kevin Mallen Or they don't exist.

Why Not? It's true I agree, Irish comedy takes its cues from you brits.

This was late 90s I believe... A different age.

@ British humour is generally more edgy than American.

@@stephenjones9746 You may have flattered us once with that compliment, but these days I'm not so sure. Most of what I see on our TV is bland, safe and predictable. 'Edgy' is just too risky for mainstream.

@ Maybe we just watch different programs.

J T G Have you not seen 'White Gold', 'The Inbetweeners' or 'The IT Crowd'?...

It's sad when only a fifth of a class room understands humour.

Maybe because u showed it in a sociology class ? Like when someone goes into a class they aren't expecting to watch satire and unless this was part of a greater conversation about sexism in the 1950s or something it's odd to play. I think most people understand this isn't legit saying woman are stupid it's a joke. But I find it odd so many cancel culture concerned, and legit sexist people seem to be in the Comments of this video. Your students may have also found it odd that u focused on this video specifically especially if it didn't fit contextually with the lesson

This film should be shown at all schools to show the effects of education on woman

​@@strictlykev311You wouldnt laugh would you

Your wonderful and selfless act of kindness for the less fortunate, and able, brought a tear to my eye. I apologise for crying like a damn foreigner.

She should be grateful to have a considerate husband such as yourself.

You are a kind man , she should be eternally grateful , you saved her brain from overloading

Now, she can happily cook dinner and polish your shoes

Sadly my sister went to university and hasn't been the same since, even little kittens don't help.

TheGonzaPoker Thank you for the compliment.

Heather Ritz You delightful, fragile creature, you! ♥♥♥

*flutters eyelashes, and skips into the kitchen to bake cupcakes while the men talk politics.

Faith Hope Love​​​​​​​​​​​ ...The men had begun talking about politics... Thus the lady of the house decided to go and fetch the cupcakes - They were about to finish baking anyhow. Waiting for the cupcakes to reach perfection before taking them out of the oven, she overheard the men disputing each others' political views with ever increasing voluminosity and decided to turn on the radio. "The boys are awfully loud today", she said as she briefly went over the topics she recognized from overhearing her husband's evening television sessions. She turned up the radio with a chuckle to mask the sound of the men vigurously banging on the table. From what she gathered, her husband was the one spearheading the debate, which cast a smile upon her face... The cupcakes! She almost forgot them. Thankfully she hadn't missed the moment the cupcakes reached the height of their gustatory pleasure. The cupcakes were quickly prepaired and garnished with strawberry slices. She couldn't wait to have the boys try the new recipe she'd learned at her last meet up. "The cupcakes are ready!" she loudly exclaimed in excitement..... She turned off the radio. Walking up to the cupcakes... she turned back once more and turned down the radio's volume. It was quite a shock to her the last time the radio was turned on while it was set to its loudest. The debate had also dialed down, it seems. Something about the president? Anyway, she rushed to the living room, cupcakes in hand, opened the door with a swift motion of her elbow and dropped the tray of cupcakes. Before her lay the bludgeoned corpses of the men, among them the twitching, bloodied remains of her husband. A blood-covered man holding a blood-smeared golf-club erupts in maniacal laughter before quietly kneeling next to one of the corpses and patting it on the cheek. In a tone that infrequently alternated between pompous and almost breaking out in laughter that blood-covered man said: "Sir, I disapprove of your opinion on the withdrawal of our troops!" Taking in the maddening hellscape unfolding before her eyes, the lady's body caught up to her shattered mind and she screamed at the top of her lungs, but what left her mouth was her half-digested dinner accompanied by unintelligible gurgling noises. She felt tears run down her cheeks and noticed vomit splatter onto the cupcakes she had poured her all into making. The man stood up and resumed talking about politics. She didn't want to hear it. Her eyes and ears closed, the disturbing sound of bones being violently shattered - to pieces - it penetrated the hands covering her ears - it penetrated her soul. Her lungs were torn between expelling and taking in air, so she could do neither. The man proceeded to pulverize the fractured skulls skulls of what were once his colleagues. colleagues. Strength left her arms. Heavily breathing he spoke exhaustedly, yet almost monotonely - one or two syllables with every expiration of his breath: "Boy, " "polit" "ICS" "sure are" "HARD!" , he spoke monotonely. She couldn't move her limbs. Weak. She couldn't feel them. He dropped the club. He turned his head to the lady of the house, calling her by name, she couldn't think, and asking her if she had an opinion on the matter. she couldn't answer. Her head was frantically shaking -she had no control- , witnessing the man calmly wiping her husband's blood and flesh from his face with a handkerchief , she fell unconscious This is a story of a woman's life being saved by the simple act of knowing that she has no say in complicated political matters.

Oh my... Politics is not for women. Women are much safer staying in the kitchen and not voting.

bbc today would too piss weak pc to do this now

The Urban Gentry I knew you got ideas from your most recent video from somewhere!

Social media opinion rules all, and not just the bbc. It's impact upon the media is just too great, regardless of true overall public opinion. Having said that, the bbc does voice some opinion that questions this way of thought through critics such as jonathan pie, even if on a whole the bbc try to avoid being 'controversial' to the sjw generations largely born post 1990s @@stoneartisen4216

Funny my history teacher showed this when we were covering actual feminism not feminazis and this is a comedy sketch

I thought it was originally a documentary?

Lmfao, got me 😂

I usually wait for the whimpering and sobbing.

Similar story here, old chap. Seems this lovely woman was banging on my front door, most of an evening. Finally got up and let her out.

Wins the internet today

I wish Harry Enfield could still make comedies like this.

+audacity It's from 1990-92.

Talking about something sensible at last

Genius? I guess if you can drool you are a genius these days. You are probably a genius too Keith.. Wow I am so impressed.

Indeed. The good old days where offending people was a funny thing, which the offended could also laugh at.

@DaToNyOyO Good point. Sort of what I was getting at really but in a badly communicated way. Like Alf Garnet, where he said all these offensive things, but the joke was on him, not the people he is offending.

These days you can’t even write racial abuse in excrement on someone’s car without the politically correct brigade jumping down your throat.

@@shelbyvillerules9962 lol

sakor88 They do cross the line a little too often though.

And proud of it. I'm a woman with a lot of agency after getting my degree in science and becoming a full-time clinical laboratory technician. (Wouldn't have it any other way)

But this excellent film shows the dangers of too much education for a woman! Stick to fluffy kittens and ladies duties

@@stephenholmes1036 Hey, I love fluffy kittens as much as anyone else. And I'd have dozens of them if I could. Lol But there are no "dangers" in being an educated woman. (Only benefits). And for me that's being able to pay my own bills and make my own decisions. Guys just see that as a danger because they're threatened by it. Well? Boys obviously aren't the only ones that grow up to have purpose and responsibility in society! 😎👌

+deirdreofthesorrows The answer my friend is blowing in the wind

It's making fun of feminists. Enfield was clever to give it a double meaning. A triple meaning, since going off the gold standard has lead to the ruin of the west.

Thanks for the 'mansplaining' ;-)

@@chippysteve4524 I'm sure it was his privilege.

@@davebellamy4867 *"since going off the gold standard has lead to the ruin of the west"* Perhaps some day you'll even meet one of the very few economists that agree with you. The Tea Party conference would've been your best bet but it's been dead for 5 years or more.

@THE NEW HOUSE Were these sketches not from Harry Enfield and Chums? I didn't think they were as new as the show he did solely with Paul Whitehouse.

Lol!

Bearded too?

Glad to see someone picked up on the historical accuracy of the Gold Standard issue of the 1920s.

Yep, you got it.

Yes, the gold standard was finally abandoned in the 70s cos it didn't work. So the woman was right

The book "The Creature From Jekyll Island", by G. Edward Griffin, has the most comprehensive explanation of the whole "federal reserve/gold standard" issue, that continues to control our society to this day. Some of these comments may not age so well, on reading it. Also, I too love little kittens.

However, since leaving the gold standard, our money has had no value at all and we have had regular recessions and depressions like clockwork almost every 20 years. It's a ludicrous system and we should have adapted with the gold standard rather than abandoned it for make-believe money that is increasingly worthless.

That's so great to hear and I agree I hate when people end up arguing , some people you talk to just seem he'll bent on being annoying and love to argue. I love HE & C too. 👏☺️💖

@@Salena905 no they don't 😊

oooo, thats mean.

On behalf of the population of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the civilised parts of Scotland, I would like to express our sincere gratitude for your warm statement, obviously coming directly from your heart (your weak female brain being too occupied with thoughts of kittens). We Brits are indeed lovable and not a little freaky, setting our hats at jaunty angles with a healthy disdain for authority (except that of royalty). Being a proud Brit, I would willingly leave you my portable mobile telephonic device number so that you could contact me and eventually become my wife (if I feel affinity for your sufficiently attractive womanly attributes).... but I can't seem to be able to "upload" (whatever the devil that means) the photograph of my visiting card. What a shame for you, dear sweet thing.

@@joepublic3933 as a civilised Scot, I concur.

We’ll said old chap jolly good old show may i say indeed.

You have splendid taste Madam.

Hmm, let's see, I went off to college and majored in science, got myself a gainful career as a clinical laboratory technician and make bank. Own a motorcycle, a pickup truck, a fishing kayak, 2 hunting rifles and my own living space... What "limits" are we talking about exactly? 🤔Lol

@Rafael Acosta - I loved that clip showing a woman's brains getting scrambled, when bombarded with too much information! LoL! Perfect examples... Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Nancy Pelosi, and Ilhan Omar!

sos sos you’re not living on planet Earth if you think that

@sos sos I neither accept the label of right or left wing, two broken wings on crippled bird. When I take the political compass test my result is just left of the centre which would make me a nazi by far left standards. I am writing to say that as a left leaning centrist that you are very wrong, most left wingers are absolutely pathetic nowadays and the far left are absolutely intolerant of anyone else who is right of Chairman Mao. The far left are the most diverse group of intolerant people that ever existed on the planet.

Sounds about right

I love a good Shakespearean insult. "You beef-witted applejohn!"

Are you saying a gold standard is destabilising or stabilising?

@@Imperial_Boltgun Maybe it's why the dollar is so strong - Trump prefers pussy...

@@bluegtturbo - Strong? You won't be saying that when the interest on your debt alone surpasses your tax revenue haha!

Fixing your exchange rate via a gold standard is a surefire way to destabilise your currency because it leaves it open to speculative attacks. That can't happen with floating rates.

@@djtim06 That's not a problem for countries with their own fiat currencies. Currency-issuing governments haven't been financially constrained in that manner since the last gold standard (the Bretton Woods agreement) ended in 1971. They can always service their debts and every other financial obligation irrespective of the tax take. Spending always comes before taxation, not afterwards.

can i move to New Zealand?

Quite right too!

femini/wooosh

Did it? All I see is men whinging about feminism

@sakor88 That's the trouble with Enfield's sketches. The people he's making fun of are too stupid to realise he's making fun of them. They don't understand satire, so they think he's agreeing with them. They bemoan the idea that "THE BBC WOULD NEVER BROADCAST THIS NOWADAYS", when in reality if they did make a new show, they'd whine about it being "too SJW/woke/left-wing".

@@johnmartinez7440 A midwit in it's natural habitat. Tread carefully; they shed a wall of text at the slightest provocation.
