Fave sketch of theirs... - French and Saunders (1987) Discussion

[–] thanatosmur 17 years ago

I guess at this point I have two favorites:

The one in which Jennifer claims to have no leg bones. Hee. Totally cracks me right up. This is the first sketch of theirs I ever saw.

And the contraception sketch.

Too too funny.

Pretty much everything they've done has been worthy of favouritism as this thread shows.

One that hasn't been mentioned (I think) is the one where Jen and Dawn are modern artists or something...the part where Dawn's being spoon fed baked beans and a boot is kicking her in the head, and the giant boob she hides in ..."she can't draw fingeeers!"

Also the Making of the Titanic is great as well, especially J. Lumley's role in it.

The expatriate wives sketch is absolutely hilarious.

"Four years I've been registered."
"Disabled?"
"No, no, with the dating agency."

Some that haven't been mentioned yet:

LeeAnn and Jackie planning their wedding (2 million pounds....each!) with the punchline: First....get some boyfriends.

The two extras in the war hospital movie, Carmen, or the sports news show.

Womanly World magazine

Rock Stars and Their Toilet Seats planning meeting.

I also like how they have the real people burst onto set to break up the spoof, like with WatchDog and The House of Idiot.

My favourite by far is the Bjork rip-off. Every single word in that sketch was hilarious, Dawn pulled it off with aplomb, and I split my sides every single time I watch it. "Normality. I hate normality. I like FAIRIES!"

Many other favourites, but close second would have to be Star Wars Episode One: "Milk, milk, lemonade, round the corner chocolate's made!"

The Star Wars parody - Yoda made me laugh out loud

The Guns N Roses parody was freaking hilarious. But, if you look at it from another perspective, it was actually quite touching

1) The Fellini Sketch (I think thats the one the they take off 8 1/2; the one with that funny dance on the beach in black and white)
2) Kill Bill (can't beleive no one has mentioned this)
3) Titanic
4) I like most of the white room sketchs, but the best one is big brother!!
5) Hopefully Haunted (again cant beleive no one mentioned this one either!!)
6) Jordon and (I think it was Katie Marsh, I havent seen it for ages!)
7) House Of Idiot
8) Star Wars

Pretty much every music spoof would have to be on my list. Particularly the Shakespears Sister, Boyzone and Abba spoofs.

My daughter and I quote the Bergman spoof all the time. Brilliant!

And the Florida retirement episode with the giant foodstuffs and "Rachmaninoff AKA 40" left me in tears! "OOH! Show 'em the milk!"

Star Wars was a scream, as well as the Harry Potter and Mama Mia spoofs for Comic Relief.

Gah, it's impossible to pick just one ... so, in no particular order:

- The House of Idiot - "You just caught us in the middle of our Upstairs Downstairs sketch...!"

- Titanic - "I want you to draw me like one of your French girls." "What? On a bicycle with some onions".

- Getting Your Ears Pierced - "Listen to you! Up on all the jargon about it! That 'they don't use needles anymore'. Well, what do they used then?!" "It's a sort of gun..."

- Thelma & Louise - "Three hundred, thousand, million people have seen this film! Just shut up about it!"

And about a thousand others.
