American Reacts to Suit You Sir - Johnny Depp

[@penname5766]

Johnny Depp looks very comfortable to me! He’s just a good actor - and don’t forget they would’ve rehearsed it. If anything, he looks like he’s trying not to laugh. He’s a fan of British humour, you can tell. If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t have agreed to the gig.

[@gdok6088]

Johnny Depp lives in the UK now. He has a large country estate in Somerset, England and loves living here. He enjoys going into the local towns and villages, because whilst he is recognised he says, "English people don't go crazy when they see me! They are polite and respectful although they do like to say hello and have a chat when it's appropriate".

[@CaroleEvans93436]

I think he bought a pub in Somerset too. He also had a house near to Hastings. He lived over here when his children were at school. The family divided their time in the UK and France. He often slips into a British accent

[@patriciacarter1147]

Johnny Depp is one of the kindest, most gentlemanly and charitable people and pops up in many sitcoms fitting in with whatever they want whilst visiting hospitals and donating a lot of money to them especially childrens since his daughter was taken to one.

[@alanjones7040]

Johnny depp loved watching this show while working at pinewood studios and really wanted to be on this show ...

[@sparkandflame]

Johnny adores the UK, he also LOVES the Fast Show and british comedy in general, he totally gets it! and hes just an amazing guy and has never forgotten his roots,

[@scouseofhorror104]

"Johnny Depp took it like a champ" did he Sir? Ooh! (Ooh!) Ooh! 🤣

[@1964paulsmith]

🤣🤣🤣

[@antonycharnock2993]

There's a chain of shops in the UK called Suits You. Every time you walk past you have to go "OOH"

[@joannedwyer-bc5py]

Brilliant. I love johnny depp and he does love our humour and has a great sense of humour himself. Hes very dry and witty.

[@gillianprowse]

Here in the UK we pronounce Warwick without the middle w, we say it as 'Warrick'. 🙂

[@modestyblaise5895]

I live in Warwick and that is is how it is pronounced, Warrick.

[@RebornLeveller]

The Fast Show was Johnny Depp’s favourite comedy show. According to both biography books I read years ago he used to take video tapes of the show around the world with him to movie shoots, and would always watch an episode or two in his trailer or hotel to wind down before sleeping. And he’s said in numerous interviews that Paul Whitehouse is one of his heroes (and one of few actors to make him feel star-struck when he met him). He even got Paul some small roles in a few of his movies.

[@AndrewAHayes]

Making someone feel uncomfortable is an act that is enshrined in British comedy!

[@waspotty5417]

Me and the hubby still say 'oh, suit you sir' 😂

[@martindunstan8043]

🤣🤣same here, as well as ' it's brillliant' and Jesse's diets on returning from the toilet 'this week I 'av been mostly eating' 🤣👍

[@carolineskipper6976]

This sketch with Johnny Depp is from a special of the show. It follows the pattern of all the previous iterations of the sketch with these two tailor's shop assistants - it's just all the funnier because it's Johnny Depp being treated this way. Johnny Depp absolutely knew what he was letting himself in for! I's funny because it's irritating - that's the point!

[@lailachopperchops9290]

Depp said that Paul Whitehouse is the "greatest actor in the world" and that he is "obsessed" with him and the fastshow ,

[@mej6519]

I used to work in a menswear shop early 90's. Taking measurements of a gentlemans inside leg was a tricky task, we were told ask the gentlemen which side he dresses on. Because you never want to touch a gentlemans gentleman.

[@isobellahobbs1597]

“You yanks were in like a shot,didn’t do any fighting,too late for that! “Omg so fucking true!!😂😂 love Depp!

[@isobellahobbs1597]

@JohnnyDepp-u9q2nI am now,thanks!❤❤❤❤❤

[@damienkakoschke3099]

Johnny Depp has a very english sense of humour. He gets it on a way that only someone like yourself would appreciate, which is why Brits love him.

[@JohnWhite-mr3ec]

My Mum had posters of Johnny Depp on her bedroom wall up until she died at the age of 95 years

[@ChaseOakley-rw2lx]

Wasn't expecting this reaction. Nice Saturday surprise 👌 Edit: seeing Depp trying not to crack is brilliant

[@captaincorky237]

I get the feeling that this sketch was like a private joke between Johnny Depp and the other guys. I wonder how much of it was inspired by the real life antics of the drummer Keith Moon, together with the guy from the 'Bonzos' and various one legged actors they hired to help them take the piss out of the 'posh'' tailors around Londons 'Jermyn Street' area.

[@timglennon6814]

That is the brilliance of Dark British humour. 😂

[@kakeup]

Ooh watching the fast show are ya sir? Ooh, suits you sir ooh.

[@05Rudey]

Was a big fan of the show at the time and equally a fan of Johnny Depp (I will admit, he is very much liked in the UK - I think it has something to do with effortlessly nailing our accents flawlessly) I rate him as one of the best character actors ever. So this was a delight on first viewing.

[@mardroidmk1393]

I found the episode where they turned it around highly amusing. One of them tries it on with a customer who turns out to be as bad (if not worse) than them. He responds in kind... and they become all shocked."Careful, we've got a live one here!" So funny.

[@TheCornishCockney]

Johnny ASKED to be on the show,he loves Britain and loves our humour. Little bit too basic for American audiences? Well we liked them,at the time in the UK,everyone was saying aww,suits you sir.

[@citizenVader]

Are you really that timid in America? This was light banter

[@chrisstainsby614]

Now hopefully that scene in the Royle Family makes sense to you now where Anthony got that Sovereign Ring for his 18th birthday. Him and Darren were saying the phrase and Nanna went "Of course he wants it, its his birthday present."

[@davidrowlands441]

Bet you wouldn't see that on American TV.

[@PhilipTait-oi2hm]

Johnny Depp also appeared in a Comedy Relief Charity sketch with the actor Dawn French who played the title role in the brilliant ‘Vicar of Dibley’ BBC series. It’s really worth a look and less naughty than the ‘Suit you, Sir’ sketch!😅

[@YuliAliciaGiuliano]

Love Johnny Depp because he is so kind!!

[@juliedavies3660]

Fast show is brilliant had look to meet mark williams and got autograph asked for quote " this week I've been mostly eating".... he added "scouse" x absolute legend amazing man so funny kind and this show how i no him best ❤❤

[@Rhianalanthula]

"This season, I shall be mostly wearing Dol chi a Gabban a."

[@free..to..air..]

Sounds like Gregg Wallace chatting to a male competitor offstage on Masterchef

[@jeanneale9257]

Hilarious timeless classic British humour 😂

[@annirvin6555]

Brit here. I ❤ Johnny Depp.

[@jennybee4870]

The blonde guy is the wonderful Mark Williams who plays Father Brown.superb actor and a lovely person

[@stevebinning977]

He also plays Ron and Ginny Weasely's dad in the Harry Potter movies.

[@Rhianalanthula]

​@@stevebinning977Arthur Weasley.

[@kaibroeking9968]

For context: this is just the culmination of the series from "The Last Fast Show". There were about two dozen instances of this in "The Fast Show", and they started more gradual than this, but always escalated very quickly.

[@comawhite39]

Johnny played guitar several times with Marilyn Manson live

[@brianhepke7182]

Loved the "daft".... wonder where you got that from?😄

[@lukewallace12]

love Johnny Depp as well bro

[@msamuel1964]

Lol! You were almost blushing. It's a pity times have made people too delicate, this, as with many other comedy sketches would probably be seen as offensive now.

[@danmayberry1185]

Akin to Monty Python's 1971 sketch, "Nudge Nudge." The cringe factor is the point.

[@lachlanmain6004]

One of the more extreme excerpts dialled up because it was Johnny Depp who was game for it ( ooo sir) Yes smut is always lurking there somewhere. For a complete change, try Rollie Birkin from the same show.

[@FuriKitten]

Me, Alone, watching the fast show? with my reputation! what in the Sminky Pinky were they thinking?

[@juliedavies3660]

😂😂

[@chelliebellie4443]

Now for a deep dive into the fast show.paul whitehouse was a painter and decorator and happened to work where stephenfry and hugh Laurie.i believe they encouraged him!

[@leehallam9365]

And it's Mr Weasley from Harry Potter in a very different role.

[@StefanTravis]

"Took it like a champ". Ooh, sounds a bit... suggestive. :-).

[@felixthecat02]

Great post....I was a student in the 90's and the Fast Show was necessary watching...Please do Rowley Birkin QC😁

[@johnloony68]

You need to react to the whole “The Fast Show” series. Lots of epic characters and catchphrases. Don’t just watch individual sketches, because there are long-running themes which develop.

[@juliedavies3660]

Love fast show lol and Johnny Depp requested to go on the show for that as he loved it so much and we got this brilliant sketch x ❤❤😂😂 and it was early 90s I think 🤔 ❤❤ loved your face lol 🤣

[@Hayden1969-ws4vy]

it was in one of the 3 special episodes from Dec 2000!

[@Michael_from_EU_Germany]

The second suit maker ... is Mark Williams, Star of the Father-Brown-Series from 2013.

[@billyhills9933]

To explain any British actor to an American audience you have to relate them to either Python, Potter or Downton. Mark Williams of course was Ron Weasley's father in Harry Potter. However, I still see him as the thug from Alexei Sayle's Verbal Badinage skit.

[@Michael_from_EU_Germany]

@@billyhills9933 Thank you. I hadn't even thought about Papa Weasley.

[@stirlingmoss4621]

Depp has made some excellent movies, so why not like him as an actor.

[@rexduffy7881]

Your look of incredabilty as this BBC sketch runs🤣 Try Jethro; he was on the same level for years.

[@petersp63]

Had to turn down the Red on my Computer as you Blushed more and more!

[@lmcgregoruk]

A cornucopia of cSuit you sir.

[@robpalwrites]

It's the same awkward feeling in comedy that Ricky Gervais leaned into with The Office, but with a tad more sophistication. Either way, it's the awkwardness that makes it funny, and it was funny to watch you feel the awkwardness while you were trying to figure it out in context with the generation in which you were raised.

[@lynette.]

This was a weekly sketch show. The sketch ideas were repeated . Suit you sir was one of my favourites.

[@MichelleBerry-c6u]

Now watch Depp in the show called Vicar of Dibley 😅

[@cobaltmale]

😢 You have to watch more of the Fast Show. One character even got a spin off sitcom. His meme was everything was 'like making love to a beautiful woman' but was a cheap car salesman

[@pendorran]

You actually turned red, gradually, as that video progressed.

[@andrewstretton8282]

BBC The Fast Show is from a good (1990's) few years ago , but may not be made today non--PC. It was a a good, popular show in the UK in its day. Plenty of BBC Fast Show vids on You Tube. See Bob Fleming's Country Favourites. Still makes me chuckle even now. Bob Fleming with a bad cough (Charlie Higson) and Paul Whitehouse (Jed ) Arse!/ Mark Williams / Simon Day (Murtagh) etc.

[@Lin.J333]

Wouldn't be able to get away with saying that in today's sketches .Well we don't have comedy sketches anymore and tv shows like this .

[@waynetaumata]

Your biggest reaction was when Depp swore. American humor in the gutter with no subtlety 😂

[@bastonor]

JP, one thing you're not is daft. EU here.

[@facelessnomore]

I believe Johnny Depp actually requested to appear in this sketch.

[@lewisharper3353]

The problem with Americans (as an observation, not a criticism)...is that they try to evaluate and think too deeply about humour before realising that it is just humour! Which is probably why British comedy shows never really translate well into American copies. They can't successfully do carcasm and wit, as they should be spontainious.

[@opabinnier]

I must apologise to you for this. You are a nice, decent young American and Suit You was pure smut- which I now find hilarious even though at the time I found it annoying and repetitive... just like you. Maybe some of us only get to appreciate the outrageous cheek of it with our advancing years! But you hung on in there like a soldier: I am proud of you, young sir! Good for you.

[@andrewredfern8811]

Do you recognise Mr Weasley, unless you havent seen the Harry Potter series?

[@angelahawman4263]

I forgot about that sketch. Thank you.👍It was a bit smutty. We know, you know. And those that don't know, you know, don't know you. From Yorkshire

[@hughmuir3063]

It is not normally that bad but i think they wanted to see Johnny Depp's reaction, if they could get him tobreak character.

[@ShelleyOtter]

Not my cup of tea either, but your reaction was worth watching! Well done!😂😂😂😂

[@rosey-19]

[@danschofield5068]

That particular version of the suits-you sketch was a lot more on the nose than the others I remember. Generally a little more subtle. Was it a charity special or something? It’s worth checking out the earlier, regular, episodes.

[@frglee]

I think it was the last ever episode.

[@alansmithee8831]

Hello Joel. Shocking! Not the video, but just how York has rubbed off on you! Not that daft, eh?

[@ade1963]

Betty Swallicks, Sir?

[@uncleoldman9639]

Unfortunately, you've jumped straight in at the deep end with The Fast Show. You really need to watch complete episodes, and watch from the beginning. I'll be honest, when I watched the first episode, when it aired, I wasn't sure. I didn't get half of it. Second episode you understand a bit better. Third episode you're in stitches. Even then, some sketches completely miss. But, when one hits, boy does it hit

[@showmoke]

Paul Whitehouse is one of the greats as far as comedic actors go and I MUCH prefer him in other roles that he does. This is ‘over the line’ far too cringe for my liking.

[@adrianhempfing2042]

It gives me uncomfortable vibes like Royston Vasey , League of Gentlemen which Jps watched on Patreon

[@StuartwasDrinkell]

Disclaimer are you 12

[@alanhitchings5841]

I'm sure you would enjoy the fast show Joel. Tons of sketches per show with recurring characters. This particular version of 'suit you' isn't one of the best. The original ones in the series were funnier and more subtle and without so much shouting. On your random Friday night surprises please try Bottom with Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson. 🙂

I always thought the Fast Show was weird and had weak, forced comedy that appealed to child student types that just liked to say catchphrases in the playground. This was distinct from something like the Harry Enfield show which was actually funny.

I couldn't stand harry Enfield show but love the fast show weird how they were both done same time for different people.

[@chrisf8021]

@@juliedavies3660 Not all of the Harry Enfield sketches were good. But the ones that were good were gold-to the extent that movies were commissioned from them. The same can't be said for the shallow, catchphrase centric weak comedy seemingly appealing to the lowest common denominator that was the Fast Show.
