This is the caricature image of Scousers from the 1980s being a bubble perm, a moustache and a shellsuit. It was based mostly on 2 characters from soap opera Brookside, Barry and Terry, but as with all caricatures while it was an exaggeration of reality it was also true to some extent.

I’m a scouser, it’s a great comedy sketch by Harry Enfield, It featured a set of stereotyped Liverpudlian characters or Scousers, "Ga'", "Ba'" and "Te'" (Gary, Barry and Terry) played by Gary Bleasdale, Harry Enfield, Joe McGann, and Mark Moraghan. The original inspiration for the Scousers sketches were Barry Grant and Terry Sullivan, two characters from the Channel 4, soap opera Brookside, set in Liverpool. Bleasdale, McGann and Moraghan are actually from Liverpool. Bleasdale actually appeared in Brookside in 1995 as a character called Donnelly. The Scousers were usually depicted with Kevin Keegan bubble perm hairstyles that were popular in late 70’s & 80’s,and bushy moustaches, wearing shell suits, usually top designer ones that Scousers got on their football travels in Europe , and speaking in exaggerated Scouse accents. Common catch phrases they came up included "Eh? Eh? Eh?" "Dey do dough don't dey dough" ("They do though, don't they though"). "Calm Down!" edit Most sketches saw two of the trio develop an argument, with the third member stepping in to break up the argument (and frequently finding himself pulled into another disagreement). Whenever a potential problem or dispute arose, this would result in The Scousers repeating to each other their most famous catch phrase: " Eh! Eh! Alright! Alright! Calm down! Calm down!" This catch phrase was Bleasdale's input as he changed the scripted original, which was "Break it up 'ey, come on, break it up", during the first rehearsal. McGann brought "Dey do dough, don't dey dough" to the sketches. The characters had allegiances to the city's football teams with "Ga'" being an Everton fan while "Ba'" & "Te'" were Liverpool fans. This leads to even more disagreement. During the holiday in Spain, Ga wears a Liverpool football shirt showing their fluid support. But tho I didn’t like brookside I did love Harry Enfields piss take

Joe McGann (Barry) and Gary Bleasdale (Gary) are both genuine scousers. McGann, who has three acting brothers including former Doctor Who Paul, was replaced by another scouser, Mark Moraghan in Harry Enfield and Chums sketches. The man in the pub/first Doctor in the hospital sketch is writer Charlie Higson who starred in The Fast Show with Paul Whitehouse.

The tracksuit ( or shell suit ) came from us Scousers in the 1980’s - because we had massive success with our football teams in European competitions , we got to travel a lot in Europe - and we came back with the latest sports gear before the rest of the UK. For some other reason , permed hair and moustaches were also a big thing in Liverpool :-)

[@martinconnerty1201]

With this being comment no.621, the question of the hair has probably been answered, but here's my answer. Scoucers are from Liverpool as you read. It was fashionable in the early 70s for footballers to grow their hair. By the mid 70s, nearly every football club in the English 1st division had the majority of players wearing long hair. Examples include Billy Bremner from Leeds, Charlie George from Arsenal, George Best from Manchester United and Kevin from Liverpool. Depending on genetics when most men grow their hair long, it goes wavy but Kevin Keegan's went curly. Phil Thompson also from Liverpool decided to copy Kevin Keegan's hair in 1976/77 and tidy it up a bit by going to the hair dressers and ended up getting a perm. By 1977/78 other Liverpool players had followed suit ... Terry McDermott, Graham Souness and then Kevin Keegan had a go. Upon seeing what their heroes were doing with their hair, Liverpool football fans started to copy them, starting the adults and then the children. By the time we get into the 1980s, the perm had become a stereo type for Scoucers because by now men, women and children were wearing a perm and were portrayed as such on TV shows ... all because of Phil Thompson.

There used to be jokes mocking scousers. A two quick examples. "What do you call a scouse bird in a white shell suit? The Bride..." "What do you call a scouser in a suit? The accused " The permed hair- just take a look at Liverpool or Everyon's teams in the early 1980s, and the tracksuits came from Liverpool being successful in the European Cup so every away match there would be a couple of thousand or so scousers acting like a hoard of pillaging Vikings as they shoplifted the way round Europe, nicking designer sportswear. The week after matches a mate of mine at work (in Liverpool) would be flogging his weekend away booty! That said Liverpool today is a very different place to the one where I spent my teens.

The Scousers was a parody of a long running Channel 4 soap opera called 'Brookside' based in a new build housing estate in the suburbs of Liverpool, with ludicrous plotlines including a body buried under a patio, a lesbian kiss and in the first episode the husband in a newly married couple being carried out dead by an ambulance crew. The shellsuits were a reference to a 1980's class of people designated as 'Chavs', being ignorant, uncultered and having no fashion sense. The popular image of Scousers outside of Liverpool was that all Liverpudlians were workshy, petty criminals.

[@rocketrabble6737]

'uncultured'

[@lloydevans2900]

If you're at all interested in the origin of the term "scouser" itself, it is related to a centuries old, simple and cheap to make recipe for meat stew, which itself was originally developed in the Royal Navy. The bare minimum recipe uses the most common forms of long term food stores aboard ships, which was some kind of dried and salted meat (usually beef or pork), hard tack or ships biscuit (very hard unleavened wheat flour biscuits, with variable proportions of weevils depending on age and storage conditions), and onions. The meat would be cut into small chunks and any fat carefully trimmed out to use for rendering and frying the onions - alternatively the onions would be fried in butter if it was available. Then the chopped meat would be added, along with enough water to re-hydrate it, and simmered slowly until the chunks of meat were soft enough to chew without breaking your teeth. The hard tack biscuits would be smashed into crumbs, soaked with water, added to the stew and simmered enough to soften it. This bare minimum, basic recipe was known as "lobscouse" on Royal Navy ships and cooked at a large enough scale to feed the crew. Sooner or later the name got shorthanded to "scouse", and crew would take their knowledge of how to make it home with them when discharged from the navy or on shore leave. Liverpool was an important west coast port for the Royal Navy for centuries, so the recipe would become popular in that area. It was versatile too, since almost any meat could be used (whether fresh or dried), any sort of bread or even potatoes could be used instead of ships biscuits, and it could be bulked out with whatever vegetables were cheaply available for feeding the maximum number of people at minimal cost. So this "lobscouse" or "scouse" would become a traditional staple meal in Liverpool and surrounding areas. People who regularly ate it would sooner or later become known as "scouse eaters", which itself was eventually shorthanded to the term "scouser", which persists to this day.

In the late 80's perms (not Afro's) became the thing at school in the UK , footballers and pop stars led the way ..... they were also seen in sitcoms , Brookside was a very popular sitcom based in Liverpool ..... The perm was seen much in Brookside , a lot of fighting was in the story lines ...... the Scousers by Harry Enfield was more a general piss take rather than football based .....

[@tecnogof]

Permed hair and shell suits were the style that spread across the whole of the UK, back in the day.

Hi king boomer love watching your reaction videos. For more scouse humour watch ken dodd. Phil from Liverpool UK

[@alexhuxley3355]

It's Scous-er as in House er

[@travelbugse2829]

Those kits were called shell suits at the time. Only the shiny ones, if memory serves me right. Great video!

[@SillyUncleAndy]

Oh and yes Kimg Boomer you have seen the Old Gits before cos it was a reaction you did for me of my suggestion but ages ago

[@legend9335]

Peter is delusional.

I'd like to add that the haircut is the Keegan permed style which used by a famous liverpool footballer in the 70's. Very funny ...especiallly the robotic body movements.

[@wez2008]

You need to see the scousers sketch when they go to That London, it was hilarious 😂

[@videogamesandfilm6821]

You missed the best Scousers skit where the boys goto London for the FA Cup final at Wembley. It's a lot less formulaic and has a bit of narrative too.

[@MartinFarrell1972]

It's from a soap called Brookside which had characters like these guys in it. Calm down calm down became a catchphrase.

[@iany8230]

Its Scouse Sir...not scowsers. Also known as Mickey Mousers. This tyoe of comedy is now lost owing to woke folk. If you Google search theres a mock up photo of curly haired men at Anfield. 😂

[@rossini55]

You dont pronounce it River "Mercee" or "Mersay"though, its actually pronounced "DA FOOKHIN' MAAAIR-ZEE!!!" 😅

[@pool-of-life]

Yes vey much stroetyping,...but still hilarious Sadly... Back in the day, I'm guilty of both the curly perm AND the tracksuits.. Not to mention the tash! 😊😎 YNWA

[@paulguise698]

Hiya King Boomer, it was like this every week, Scousers trying to calm each other down, say King Boomer you were right they get to the tip of the iceberg and then they all calm down, when I went to Liverpool with my brother in law (his name is Dougie) and his son (Jordan), Jordan wouldn't shut up, so I ended up saying "CALM DOWN,CALM DOWN!" Jordan didn't get it, but Dougie did, could you please do a reaction on the Harry Enfield skit called The Slobs, Callie would love it, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England

[@FrowningIke]

Mersey pronounced Merzee. The second S in Scouser is a hard S. My family moved to Warrington when I was a kid which is almost exactly halfway between Liverpool and Manchester. I would constantly be corrected in my high school years when I said "Our Mum/Dad/Kid" which just confused me as I thought saying "My Mum/Dad/Brother/Sister sounded weird! 2:44

[@markgillespie8842]

Brookside in the 80s had a character called Terry and he looked like that lol. The shellsuit was just a thing that got tagged to a scouser.

[@simsimsim4722]

I came across your channel last year and did watch few of your reaction(s). One thing I noticed looking at this now you have put on so much WEIGHT .....you are a handsome young lad, don't let yourself go. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@marcusmaher-triskellionfil5158]

As someone from Liverpool the Harry Enfield 'Scousers' sketch became repetitive after a while, it was just the same tropes, fighting, the dole(welfare) drinking, crime... Liverpool's deep history with Ireland 🇮🇪 was how the British establishment saw Liverpool, a city in England but not of England so like the Irish denigrate them.

[@tonymorgan9533]

Hello KB... hope you and your family are well... check out Harry Enfield doing the Slobs...hilarious.
