Morecambe & Wise: Breakfast Sketch

Shame the writer never gave credit to the original written and performed by Benny Hill some years earlier.

Re: All Time Classic Comedy Sketches

Though Morecambe & Wise were big TV stars, it was the live act that was still their bread and butter. This segment from 1973 is from a rare (and the only known) film of one of their live performances, in this instance at Fairfield Halls in Croydon. It's a glimpse of the live act that they'd been doing and perfecting since the '50s in variety clubs and other venues throughout Britain. Sadly, the stress from years of constant touring -- as well as a three pack a day smoking habit -- would take a massive toll on Eric, a consummate workaholic (as was Ernie, though he was better able than the more high-strung Eric to take the pressure in stride). A toll that would eventually lead to three heart attacks (the first one at age 42) and his untimely passing at age 58.

Here's the complete film in six parts:

2) From Blackadder III: Edmund Blackadder after being told Dr Johnson has written every english word in his dictionary: "Leaving already Doctor? Not staying for your pandigestatory interludicule? etc
3) From Blackadder Goes Forth: Baldrick's Charlie Chaplin impression. Captain Blackadder - "So your Charlie Chaplin costume consists of that hat? etc

Re: All Time Classic Comedy Sketches

I liked just about everything Monty Python ever did, and in the eighties was a big fan of "A bit of Fry & Laurie". Together those two guys were comedy gold, creating some of the most razor sharp comedy on British television, yet miraculously overlooked after having gone on to bigger and bolder things, with Hugh Laurie having played the role of "House" for some time now, and with an impeccable American accent.

In recent years Paul Whitehouse and Harry Enfield have hit the mark, and especially with these great comedy sketches:
