Your reaction to that joke had me in tears for 5 minutes. Reaction vids like this are the second best thing to experiencing it for the first time again. Love it.

[@JohnAnderson-ss9vn]

that's a pure muttley laugh

[@CEP73]

This was always comedy gold. Such chemistry between the actors! Flawless comedy acting 🤣

[@rogershore3128]

If there was ever a British version of Sidney Poitier it's Don Warrington.... Good to see he's still going today.

[@redf7209]

Yes, but not sure American's are aware of his current tv series 'Death in paradise'. Probably nothing on KZbin.

[@rogershore3128]

[@SpuddySpud]

Your reaction to this was a joy to behold 🤣🤣🤣

[@paulhanson5164]

Being able to pause TV is such a blessing, we used to sit down as a family to watch this in the 70s and by the time everyone had finished laughing we'd missed half of the episode.

[@Uvray]

I have seen all these shows so many times and still laugh every single time. It's a perfect comedy, as you say - such great writing.

[@flucazade]

Your reaction to the Himalayas comment was superb

[@trevorberridge6079]

Dude, you make my day. You have such an uninhibited joy when you laugh. Also you prove that American and British humour is not so different. Of course there are specific references that you won't know, but the humour clearly translates. Your reaction to "I know where the Himalayas are..." is priceless.

[@maudeboggins9834]

Rising Damp was genius, highly intelligent, well written & beautifully acted. The 70's in Britain was a wash of fabulous comedies.

[@davebirch1976]

I know it might have been said before, but Richard Beckinsale is brilliant alongside Ronnie Barker in Porridge.

[@sporkfindus4777]

There must be heavy copyright with Porridge, because no-one seems to be reacting to it other than to very short one-off clips. A shame, because it's one of the greatest by far.

@@sporkfindus4777 BxKid7 did the entire series of Porridge and the spinoff series Going Straight.. He did the intro on KZbin and linked his reaction to the entire episode on Daily Motion.. Funny enough now you mention it, I quite fancy watching his reaction all over again..

Ronny: Cops! Richard: You mean like a wooded glade Ronny: Yeah, a wooded glade full of bleeding cops. Just a brilliant pairing.

This show was like lightening in a bottle, perfect cast, perfect writing.

Your laugh is so contagious 😂😂😂 I end up laughing along with you rather than what we are watching. 👍 you cheer me up

[@andrewjones575]

This is the only time that Rigsby defends Alan.

Hello there. Your laughter is so contagious lol. Cheers

[@damianleah6744]

Fabulous reaction, really cheered me up. 🤣😂🤣😎

[@bloodyliar]

The concept of 'Reaction Videos' is ludicrous ... until I see how much you love this series... and now I love this series Superb !

[@VintageForYou]

Rising Damp what a classic you got to watch more of them.😁😀👍

[@dorkarama3135]

I walk past the ITV studio where they filmed Rising Damp in Leeds, every day when I go to work.

[@andrewdoubtfire4700]

Roll on the Grey Lady episode. The funniest of them all.

[@terryblake9531]

You might be aware but the guy who plays Alan is Kate Beckinsales father

[@greg9871]

Hey 👋 They we’re just the best! 😊 i miss all the old comedy today! there is nothing to compare the Genius of those British writers back in the day! I’m British and live in East Anglia, so i’ve watched all the best of British comedy all my life, Monty Python, Rising damp, Two Ronnies, Carry on films, Les Dawson, etc,etc,etc. it’s so sad now. Thanks for your channel buddy you make scream with laughter 😅 Cheers 🍻

[@BigyetiTechnologies]

Jesus I thought we'd lost you there 😂

[@frozengamer3030]

I am glad you are reacting to this show again.

[@jimbutler4303]

The one liners are a stroke of genious, there will never be programs thike this again

[@stephensmith4480]

You just don`t get Magic on Tv like this anymore. Alan, your laughing reaction to that remark was Priceless. Great stuff Brother 🤣👍

[@lenaanne9778]

This is bringing back memories, used to what this growing up. Just as funny now as back then. x

[@alexcuthbertson9808]

Please please carry on watching the rest of rising damp & gimme gimme gimme Siri love your reaction to both of these 👌

[@bigbird2100]

Great video 👍 Enjoy the reaction to word play is key to so much British comedy.

[@lextex3280]

Gotta love Rising Damp.

[@bobhead6243]

Hello my Friend , Every Town that I have ever lived in has had a " Rigsby " lmao.😂🙂

[@paulwillard9687]

Ditto , literally grew up on it and Alf Garnett no wonder I turned out the way I did 😂

[@CMDRRustyDog]

Great to see Rising Damp back on the channel. Your reaction to the Himalayas line was epic! :D

[@vallee3140]

absolutely love your reactions best on here, only thing is I laughed so much I hurt.

[@stephenfox8685]

Yes! Yes! Yes! Thanks for this, bro! Trust me, they get funnier and funnier. 👍👍

[@thisiszaphod]

Made my day, Alan 👍

[@eileentaylor1691]

your laugh is infectious

[@stevebrown5160]

Best British comedy ever, Leonard Rossiter is just pure genius as Rigsby and it gets better.

[@tonyturner1811]

the funniest tv series ever. amen

[@MerryOlSoulGigglesmith]

Got to love the moment when Rigsby defends one of the boys. The disfunctional family may argue a lot but if anyone else picks a fight, they be in big trouble.

[@markchambers3833]

Series 2 is where Rising Damp starts to hit top form. Series 1 is pretty good but the programme's on another level from here on in. My favourite episode is Stage Struck with Peter Bowles in Series 3. One of the all-time great sitcoms.

[@emmahowells8334]

Always loved rising damp, I saw reruns as it started before I was born. Always made me laugh, still does, man my ribs hurt from laughing so hard & that Himalayan joke lol, that always gets me every time.👌😂😂😂

[@Bobmeanstreak]

You are hilarious. Your belly laugh cracked me up. Great to see your getting you mojo back...

[@thereunionparty]

Great to see you reacting again to Rising Damp, even if it is a slightly truncated version. Your reaction to Alan's "Himalayas" quip was hilarious in its own right! The writer of the series, Eric Chappell, died in April of this year at the age of 88. In my opinion he is a genius of British comedy but he tends to get overlooked, possibly because he worked mostly for the ITV channels (commercial) rather than the BBC. His output, mostly in the 70s, 80s and early 90s was enormous. Eleven different sitcoms, usually 3 or 4 series each. Rising Damp was the jewel in his crown of course but some of the others, eg Only When I Laugh, Duty Free and Home To Roost, are not far behind in quality.

[@bpfromowc]

This show is comedy gold. It’s right up there with the likes of Blackadder & Father Ted.

[@lyndarichardson4744]

I love that episode, especially the joke about the Himalayas 🙂

[@antonybrent6232]

[@elaineshakeshaft2830]

well that was just fantastic👍😂😂😂❤

[@richardnewbold6155]

And about time🙂👍love Rising Damp.

[@twatsack]

I dunno if anyone has recommended it previously but might enjoy a show called; Goodnight Sweetheart. -Sitcom about a TV repair man who travels back in time to the 1940s and lives a double life. Well written and really funny.

[@IANNEIL77]

Good Choice

[@rosuobs3972]

Ahoy mate, I had been thinking the same thing. Thought you had given up watching this show. Great to see you laughing out loud again. You have to watch the FILM which is on KZbin, same cast except Alan is a different actor unfortunately. Great reactions from you and the gaming, three cheers to you thanks

[@MrSinclairn]

Yes,sadly Richard Beckinsale had died the year before,so they replaced him with a new character,although Alan is briefly referenced.

[@stewartcohen-jones2949]

Probably my second favourite sitcom from the 1970’s, behind Fawlty Towers. Your observation about the quick fire dialogue is spot on.

[@pondermatic]

Such fun watching these along with you. :-)

[@harpothehealer]

Next you need the box set of Porridge Ronnie Barker and rising Damps Richard Beckinsale

[@watchreadplayretro]

Three quarters of the way through this, my day was made. Thank you! :D

[@paulmasters9306]

u got me laughing with u lol rising damp is gold the best of british humour

[@Billyg215]

Eclectic i have NEVER laughed so much watching you taking a look at a British series so much. The tears where RUNNING down my face as you where laughing at Rising Damp which i loved to watch over here in the U.K.

[@ggenie7489]

So bloody glad I watched this, not only a brilliant programme but your laugh is the tonic we all need. Although I shouldn't watch it when I'm trying to get to sleep as I am mow giggling too much.

[@VincitOmniaVeritas.]

You laughed so hard I honestly thought you were starting to have a nose bleed. I laughed along with ya 3 times an I’ve watched Rising Damp on repeat, got the full DVD Boxset. Nice one mate really enjoyed that

[@annbottelli5682]

I doubly enjoy it because I enjoy your reaction, too!!!

[@1Farmrose]

My favourite episode of a brilliant series, "I know where The Himalayas are but I've never been up them!" brilliant

[@cgmat7804]

The 1970's was a Golden period for British comedy, from The Good Life, Fawlty Towers, Are you being Served, Ever decreasing circles, George and Mildred, Man About the House. Quality writing, with peerless comic actors. The interesting thing about Leonard Rossitor was he was an absolute perfectionist and hard to work with, quite intimidating, but the results were outstanding

[@maggiebeee66]

Richard Beckinsale was actress Kate Beckinsale’s (Underworld/Van Helsing) father, who sadly died in 1979. He was only 31 and was in lots of tv shows, Porridge, Going Straight, The Lovers. He was so funny without even trying and it broke a lot of hearts when he died!

[@mariahoulihan9483]

I had a crush on when I was at school when he was The Lovers.. 'Percy filth!' .. lol Yes.. I remember when he died - far far too young and let Kate Beckinsale and her Mother, both so young as well.

[@bernadettemurray8260]

Wait till you see the one, where Miss Jones tells Rigsby to extinguish his stick. 🤪🤪

[@alexcuthbertson9808]

This is the best video I’ve ever saw you done mate your reaction to the joke had me in tears I nearly fell off my chair lol keep the content coming

[@jamesgornall5731]

So many references to 70s England, must be tough if you're unaccustomed to them. Also, a cup of tea really is a British trope, doesn't matter what sort of tragedy has occurred, the first action is to put the kettle on, even true in the army

[@eamonnclabby7067]

Unless you already have you need to watch the hilarious episode where Rigsby thinks he's incinerated his cat, Vienna.. and the one where he gets into Boxing.. absolutely hilarious.

[@MonaichFother]

I think there's a documentary somewhere on 'KZbin with interviews of the makers. The show writer said he didn't know how to write for a woman so asked Miss Ruth Jones, Frances de la Tour, to improvise which she did brilliantly. :D

Good evening Mr Simmons....Yes I was laughing my head off watching you're reaction to the Himalayas joke.....Keep The Faith

Rigsby was a character you ought to hate but Leonard Rossiter’s magnificent performance made him somewhat lovable.

It is a great pleasure in life to watch laughing at a vedio and thione is the bbest so far. Thanks for making my day better.

When I left home when I was 21 I had lots of jokes in the job i was leaving about 'If your landlord in London is like Rigsby.. phone us and we'll come and get you and bring you home again.' lol.. He wasn;t - he was a right twit but not like Rigsby. lol.

[@martindunstan8043]

[@calvaryapologetics]

This was a good episode but wait until you see the "bump in the dark" one. "Quite firm".

[@aboutthemetal8783]

This has to be one of the all time great sitcoms to come from 70s great Britain , I loved it as a kid and still love it when I watch it now . It wouldn't surprise me if some snowflake think the people who enjoy the show are racists , mind you it's not like snowflakes and their kind are known for having a sense of humour . So glad you have found the show. Don't waste your time with the movie , it's just all the best lines of all the shoes put into one film , the young white lad died shortly before the film was made , it doesn't work without him , Richard beckinsdale , at least I think that was his name .
