American Reacts to Benny Hill "World of Sport"

[@livestocknetwork320]

Miss this programme. Btw, been listening to a Jamaican radio station, and someone was singing about a 'snow white honkey'. It was quite hilarious!...

[@kevintodd1222]

Jay it's your homie from Delaware. I appreciate this dude I grew up watching the show with my grandfather Thanks for taking me back

[@poppypalais3108]

That was Henry Mcgee.

[@markgomez3688]

In Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) Benny Hill was the toy maker...

[@benbim540]

Grew up with these 2 legends Benny Hill and Dickie Davies, rest well guys

[@eyesofisabelofficial]

It was her necklace dangling between her wotsits !

[@scottwebb1978]

I could see how you could mistake it for a penis between two pair of boobs as the balls lol😅

[@Strange_Club]

It was beautiful growing up with both Hill's Angels and Hot Gossip! 🥰

[@andywrong3247]

Different times,but I know exactly what you mean,jay did well too see the giant dick drawing I've missed that for 45years.

[@eyesofisabelofficial]

They are wearing mini dresses more in keeping with 1971 fashions rather than this clip from 1976, where it is done more for comedy effect.

[@TheBergmark]

When people understood the difference between a joke and reality. The west have become a sad place.

[@glennfryer1539]

The good old days...

[@Andrea-lj4jg]

It'd be impossible to make a show like that nowadays, the woke police would instantly stop it

[@mlee6050]

I wish I was rich enough to make a TV channel or streaming service or both that for all non woke and non snowflakes which get past stupid ofcom so we get decent quality comedy Also maybe a social media that allows more freedom of speech and what post than others

[@jesterschameleon1862]

Proper comedy, superb stuff.

[@666kinski]

Benny is God

[@sharonellis8776]

The guy you thought was John C, is Henry McGee. The little guy is Jackie Wright. Love Benny Hill xx

[@sallywalton5375]

A necklace😂😂😂

[@leehallam9365]

I think this was a pretty uneven effort from Benny. The World of Sport was a real show that ran on ITV on Saturday afternoons for several hours, and its host was Dickie Davies who died quite recently. One of its features was the host appearing in front of people working at desks for some reason, and also that it covered some pretty obscure sports, because the BBC had the rights to all the big sports.

[@tonybennett9964]

For those that don't "Pony and Trap" means "Crap " in Cockney running slang

[@jaycee330]

And Bristols from Bristol City, which means...

[@LUISACAIN-db5vn]

Hey jay thanks for this love your laugh ❤❤

[@edcliffe2988]

I do miss Benny Hill. There is another sportscast skit done by Ronny Barker, where he has to provide the commentary for a series of reels that get mixed up. It's brilliant.

[@jessicapayne8622]

It’s on one of the obscure sky channels, that’s tv I think. Proper funny. Still watch it

[@trappenweisseguy27]

The swallowing the pill through a tube gag was stolen from the 3 stooges episode “Scrambled Brains”.

[@goannaj3243]

And then there was Love thy neighbour. 1972-76.

[@CupidStunt72]

Hey id love to come and meet you, im from the UK, where abouts are you in the US ? Love your channell

[@splishsplashtv9765]

Yeah need to go for a beer...born 64 so this is awesome

[@andrewmclachlan4053]

Wont see this on tv anymore 😂

[@bobo1972-h7o]

You should also react to Benny Hill Show "When Things Go Wrong". Every season they did that on the show and they were so hilarious. If you type Benny Hills Show When Things Go Wrong it will pull several different years of when things go wrong.

[@richardmiller3839]

Paul Hogan did a similar skit. Aussie

[@mikefoster6018]

A joke or two using East London cockney rhyming slang there. "Bristols" means "ti**ies" (Bristol City) etc. Almost all Cockney slang works like that. Basin = baby (basin of gravy). Bees = money (bees and honey. Box = noise (box of toys) etc. It's very obscure. Almost no Londoners know much of it. But "Bristols" is a common one, as it Trouble = wife (trouble and strife) etc.

[@mlee6050]

That as area that does cockney rhyming slang is very small part of London, forgot landmark but was like all within half mile of it or something

[@mikefoster6018]

@@mlee6050 It's most associated with the "East End" of London - an area including the borough Tower Hamlets plus and usually Shoreditch, and often others (depending on who you ask - it's not official). So maybe about 9 square miles. Aldgate Pump on the edge of the 'city of London' big business district is considered to be where it begins. Shoreditch doesn't seem cockney to me nowadays, as it's hyper-trendy and artsy (at least, around famous Brick Lane high street) with plenty to look at and plastered with amazing graffiti and sculptures etc. It also has a strong south Asian community. But I haven't explored all of it. As an aside, I got punched by a 'gypsy/traveller' kid in the back of my head at Shoreditch only two weeks ago, for photographing his horse and cart in Brick Lane!

[@mlee6050]

@@mikefoster6018 okay unsure how cockney and cockney rhyming slang differ but heard Jay Foreman talk of that for cockney you have to be born within earshot of the Bow Bells from the Church of St Mary Le Bow in Cheapside, the East End of London Also I love if he made an interactive map with the maps he showed of London and the ULEZ zone, basically by telephone or postal and so on the London border is different

[@mikefoster6018]

@@mlee6050 Yeah the Bow Bells thing is a tradition and perhaps a pride thing for that area. But they're miles away from the further parts of the East End which, as far as I know, can still have cockneys but maybe fewer of them (the Bells themselves aren't even in the East End).

[@johnnorris1128]

Brilliant 😂

[@wotdoesthisbuttondo]

That one was a little patchy though everyone loved it at time because he did a great impression of Dickie Davies, here's a good one, Benny Hill - Cagney and Lacey but check the original Cagney and Lacey so you've you a map of comparison and it becomes 50x funnier.

[@cristianruiz1972]

6:26 I think it's a necklace.

[@seeker1432]

I grew up watching Benny Hill. To appreciate him you have to watch more. But the lady's in his shows where so dam fine.

[@paulmccarragher4106]

This was a time before everyone became triggered by everything and we could laugh at our selves and others, great times and 100% better than now. As for that "penis' if you look closely it was his finger.

[@jerrynash7886]

Henry McGee.

[@andywrong3247]

jay it wasn't john Cleese, pony&trap is cockney rhyming slang for crap.having a crap.poo poo.

[@ratatat9790]

I grew up watching this ..tbh there's a lot of things in the humour that you won't get onto - even Brit kids these days wouldn't, more's the pity. Eg: there's a couple of rhyming slangs in there...Bristol Cities is Titties..Pony 'n Trap is Crap (as in having/ taking one)

[@hr35rasmus]

Pony & trap = crap or poo……..😊

[@andywrong3247]

Jay benny hill wife swap.

[@JayPeezy]

I reacted to that like a year ago

[@RealinDealer]

Why?

[@Steve_P_B]

Benny Hill is incredibly tame compared to Dick Emery

[@johnhehir508]

Pony and trap double meaning rhyme with crap ,meaning going to the toilet ,lot pf double meaning word play ,

[@MIck1-10]

Pony and trap = crap.

[@mcfcguvnors]

Henry Mcghee not John Cleese
