[Closed] Fast Show

One of the best sketch shows ever IMO

Still makes me laugh to this day

Yes, one of the funniest sketch shows ever. Jesse's fashion tips us classic.

I do like Armstrong and Miller though. The two WW2 aviators talking "street" are one of my favoirites- "yeah blood, random and shit"

Or perhaps the "kkeeeeill them" sketches. 😆

We need more stuff like this!

Armstrong & Miller is very good too 🙂 I'm also re-watching Harry Enfields stuff. Classic!

Two nights ago we exhausted all avenues of viewing on NZ television which is not hard and fired up the VHS video player i found in the cupboard.
We had Series 1 of Trigger Happy TV and some Fast Show videos. Brilliant both of them.

i have just lent my fast show dvd to a buddy at uni, she's only 21 but as dry as a jar of sand, I've instructed her to watch it and report back to me to see if appeals to today's yoof.

True quality.
Is it just me who has Colin Hunt working with them. I don't mean someone a bit like Colin Hunt, I meant the absolute duplicate.

The newly married couple sketches, always had me splitting my sides.

Especially the one when they are moving in to there new home and when the removal guys are bringing the bed out of the removal truck, they are in the bed 'going like rabbits' 🙂

Big Train, Florence Nightingale sketches. Mostly just swearing. 😆

best comedy series ever imo 😀

In't "The Fast Show" BRILLIANT !!

These kind of comedy shows come and go - follows a line from Monty Python, Not the Nine o'clock News, Harry Enfield, Fast Show... when will there be another one. Been a big gap!
Anyone remember the short-lived one with McKenzie Crook? He played a school teacher in one of the sketches - brilliant character "Who pushed air through poo?!"

I thought the last series was patchy - but last weeks new episode of Mitchell and Webb was v funny IMHO - probably still on the iPlayer

when will there be another one. Been a big gap!

I guess Little Britain is the most recent successful one, although relies more on shock rather than jokes and silliness.

I miss Big Train and Monkey Dust.

EDIT: And I miss the Fast Show too of course 🙂

Fast Show is absolutely fantastic.

"Lovely old tree"

Classic. Coughin' Bob Fleming used to have me crying, and Ted & Ralph. The whole lot... Best comedy ever.

when will there be another one. Been a big gap!

Mitchell and Webb?

The 'dog cannon' had me in tears

13th Duke of Wymbourne and Rowley Birkin QC are also classic. And as I'm sure Roper and others can verify, Spanish TV IS Chanel 9. 🙂

I agree, Im 23 and I f'ing love it. Just started playing it all on Dave now too! My mates (slightly younger) have never heard of it...

Chris Waddle!

It shocked me how old it is yesterday. I remember the last series I think was in my first year of Uni (1995).

You ain't seen me, roit?

Big Train is great. The sketch where its "The BIrds" but instead of Birds its Northerners are great, and "you fat-handed ****t" is genius.
Shame it was only really remembered for the staring contests in series 1, which arent as good as most other bits.

Mitchell and Webb is class also. Angel Summoner and the BMX Bandit from series 1 lol.

I'm only 26, but i assumed everybody had heard of the Fast Show, its only when i looked it up again i realised how old it is now.

Yeah fantastic series. Slowly working my way through the boxset 🙂

Hoopers That's Amazing - The world of the strange and the bizaaaarrrre[/url]

armstrong and millar are poo imo.

fast show was classic.
the fast show feature length film episode thingy of ted and ralph was filmed in my village (its not a very big village)

I find Armstrong and Miller to be hit and miss, when they're good they're very very good, but there's a fair bit of so-so stuff to wade through. Similar with Mitchell and Webb, I much preferred their radio show to the TV one.

Ah yes... The Fast Show. Why do you think my two dogs are called Ted and Ralph?

Ted Flemming and friends makes me laugh just thinking about it, as do all the random little sketches they put out in between the regulars.

Time to dog out the VHS I think.

My eyes are pies and yours are lies!

P20 - pmsl, never seen that one before!

Got me going on youtube now.

Seems like a bargain to me.

Dear gods! Just watched the Florence Nightingale sketch. Slightly crying with laughter now.

Last one from me [url=

Fleming's Folkin Classics[/url]

Again NSFW

'All Around My ARSE!" a flippling classic. Kills me every time..

Rowley Birkin... I love it.

But one of the best things about the Fast Show was when the threw a curve ball and suddenly came out with something as touching a poignant as this.

To Cheer you up after that Here's Unlucky Alf's Parrot 😀

Big Train again

this is a peach

Fast Show (and Harry Enfield before that) were utterly fantastic; I guess the only problem is that they were so successful that other series started imitating them, and so they've perhaps aged somewhat.
I thought Big Train was great, although not quite as good; to be honest I was quite a fan of Naked Video on BBC2 back in the day.
More recently, Man Stroke Woman is not bad, but quite patchy

When the Fast Show was at its peak, I worked with an Australian guy who got annoyed at the fact they'd called the get-off-me-show-mate sketch "That's Amazing" as the actual show was called "That's Incredible". Always wondered how close to the real thing it was.

Just remembered [url=

Angel[/url]....

Getchyor 'ands off me you fweak!

Rowley Birkin, the "serious/sad" one. Tear to the eye when you're used to the funny comedy of all teh others.

We crawl on our knees to our doom! Where are we sleeping tonight mother? On fathers grave?

I commend all those fans of Jazz Club to listen to Throbbing Gristles seminal classic "20 Jazz Funk Greats, by the way.

Bula hats for slalom markers? Hmmm? Isn't it? Wasn't it?

Anyone remember another Whitehouse fav of mine - Help!
