The lawn mower scene will always be a classic and I have never laughed so much in my life. 🤣 Norman Wisdom was a very funny man and I liked it when he shouts MR GRIMSDALE!!!

[@paulacol2142]

Absolutely 💯 ,and in the film A stitch in time Mr grimsdales in hospital due to swallowing his gold watch and chain ,of all things ,Mr grimsdale turns to Norman ' I'm sinking fast pitkin ,I can hear the Angels singing ' .. as Mr grimsdale falls asleep Norman bellows in his ear ' Grimsdale you dropped Orff !! ' and they both decide they want to work in the said hospital ' you could be a surgeon Mr grimsdale ' ..' that's feesable pitkin ,sign us up at once ' 😅😂

[@rtaylor7384]

[@airzulu2733]

This is excellent the lawn mower scene hilarious.

[@sirbarnabyst.johntoffingto9017]

Certainly up there with the top ten lawnmower scenes!

[@rtaylor7384]

It was hilarious. I think the early bird was one of my favourite of Norman Wisdom films.

[@mickmcdonagh1557]

Norman wisdom is a legend

[@danielwilkins4748]

Yep, that doesn't even begin to describe him to be honest, complete one off

[@stevethegreasemonkey]

I work repairing lawnmowers. Whenever we get a large cyilinder mower in for repair i think of this

[@christopherbusby1726]

Jerry Desmonde was brilliant.....

[@miriampopa5436]

[@trevorkeyes1639]

Classic norman wisdom

[@MegaDarryl1]

It's the mansion at pinewood studios that houses the admin, used in many films to my mind was the british residence in 'carry on up the Khyber'.....

[@darthdmc]

Yeah, you can recognise certain it from numerous films, including From Russia With Love, and several Carry Ons.

[@sirbarnabyst.johntoffingto9017]

Think they might've also filmed exterior shots of Confessions Of A Window Cleaner , top window on the left.

[@umergulmuhammad9756]

I can't believe that one man ruined the whole garden and destroyed one car

[@alanhill16]

Brilliant scene John

[@brianmarshall4753]

Sir Norman wisdom make me laugh 😆😆

[@stewdapples267]

Hilarious, it's the models of him on the lawnmower that ruins me

[@philtasticmultiverse5998]

I think i remember this on VHS.

[@garethjudd5840]

This is like a typical day for me. 🥴

[@zak3663]

I bet that mower is still in service somewhere, we have a 1953 Atco with a little 2-stroke kick start engine, made in the days when 'Made in Britain' meant something..

[@raymondwaterson4657]

Love Norman

[@Thepalpatineboys77]

Modern day Allett (ATCO) Mower can do this...!?

[@acceptableandbornind80s32]

[@Huskyboi_]

If only lawnmowers where that powerful today.

[@rtaylor7384]

Well he got one of his guy to smash Norman milk bottles so Norman ruined his garden and got him to destroy his window and Norman didn’t intend to. 😂

[@martinidry8154]

The Germans really should have opted for those lawnmowers instead of Tiger tanks. Hilarious mayhem here!

[@talcumpowder1000]

Poor Hunter

[@Huskyboi_]

If only lawnmowers where re that powerful. I mean that didn't stop when it was ounder water or when it went right through a green house. It smashed through bricks and didn't stop.

[@tyrionlannister6769]

Probably an Allett Mower...!?

[@Huskyboi_]

@@tyrionlannister6769 yep

[@None-zc5vg]

A Panzermower.

[@sallyjoan]

Why doesn't the man just run indoors and pull the plug out?

[@DrMarcusKane]

0.11 That looks like the US Embassy place in WHO DARES WINS where the SAS did their op against the People's Lobby!! Now, back to The Early Bird . . . one of Wisdom's funniest, sometimes for the wrong reasons, you have to clock the awful SFX in this movie which add to the comedy value!!

[@None-zc5vg]

The imposing building (seen at 2.37) is the Pinewood Studios main building seen also in "From Russia With Love", made in 1963, in the scene where Rosa Klebb has arrived by helicopter to receive her instructions.

[@bryanhead2670]

And the old boy still did not sack him,,,,must have enjoyed arguments with wee norman!!!!

[@RJSRdg]

'The old boy' wasn't his boss - he was the boss of a rival dairy who was trying to put them out of business.

[@FrostFrost-ql2sr]

How do you stop it. Just let go of the fucking thing, that should do the the trick

[@sallyjoan]

That won't stop it you berk
