Eddie Izzard Star Wars Canteen

The executive transvestite gives us a lesson of the future :D
A clip of Eddie Izzards Comedy special Circle

[@BFagan]

This never gets old.

[@Alunamai]

+Paladin Paranormal So very true.

[@bazcuda]

You're not wrong 😂

[@LiamRStafford]

The fact that this routine got a nod in the Skywalker Saga game makes me so happy

[@miriambanash4188]

Okay now I want to play the game and I do not do gaming.

[@c0mputer]

How? Can you explain the nod it got?

[@The_Brainsturgeon]

And also in the Star Wars Porn Parody.

[@cdst8888]

It's included in the star wars spoofs special on the first complete 6 film blu ray star wars set.

[@kernowpictures2002]

It’s because TT games the developers are British🇬🇧

[@oxyiscool]

My 12yr old son is washing up in the kitchen with his mum, all I can hear is 'This one is wet, this one is wet, this one is wet, why with the power of the death star.....' Good family laughs right there! Thanks Eddie!

[@Jack-ht5oe]

"did you dry these in a rain forest?" I think of this line every day when I eat in the canteen at work

[@alunchurcher7060]

Eddie is a god of comedy and certainly in the top five of British comedians.

[@blue9062]

"This one is wet. This one is wet. This one is wet. This one is wet. This one is wet. Did you dry these in a rainforest?!"

[@ibosquez5238]

💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧

[@ZeHoSmusician]

4:27 _"Why...with the power of the Death Star, do we not have a tray that is fucking dry?"_ A valid point! Though, one could note that (at risk of death by tray) because so much power is dedicated to dealing out death, there's not much left for anything else... :)

[@mariebskydive]

After 10 years this stays in my top 10 youtube videos ever... I learned english thanks to this masterpiece!

[@benholroyd5221]

You learnt English from Eddie Izzard?

[@savannahm5529]

Check out his "dressed to kill" stand up.

[@donnabarronpatreon6733]

So you speak authentic English mumble? 😳

[@mastod0n1]

@@donnabarronpatreon6733 hahaha I love Eddie Izzard but he is not the ideal person to learn English from. Great use of vocabulary, but so absurd most of the time.

[@Me-fo1kk]

And i bet you've learned a bit of history as well.

[@daniellechassang4325]

he is more elegant than I could ever be. his foot movements are perfect. witty, intelligent and gracefully. damnl

[@11calman]

Just love your "Traffic" Song

[@kh7688]

One of the funniest bits from any stand-up...ever. Wholly original and laugh out loud funny.

[@thethirdman225]

It's a classic.

[@assistantmagus5213]

"I'm your boss!" "You're mister Stevens?" "Who's mr Stevens?" "He's head of catering" "I'm not head of catering!"

[@ladymantis]

thatguyyousawinasda lol that's my favorite line!

[@gvjet1]

There’s a Lego Darth Vader canteen film which is brilliant to watch.

[@mnljh711986]

he's very good at rambling, he's actually quite brilliant at it

[@onlinebills9169]

I first saw his video from 'Live at Madison Square Garden' where basically the whole routine was the history of the world. I was laughing so hard throughout. He's an absolute legend and very unique sense of humor. You've got to watch that routine.

[@graemestarkey7524]

Come on, the Death Star must have had a staff restaurant. He realised that and went with it. Eddie stands with anyone in the history of comedy.

[@peterclarke7240]

Well, it was set a long time ago... Before the dark times. Before the dynamic fiscal restructuring in a quest for greater efficiency, otherwise known as "austerity." 😂 In my head canon, the Empire was precisely the sort of twattish organisation that gets rid of it's staff canteen because the boss gets insecure about everyone going for lunch and not inviting him, so rather than just ask, he makes everyone have to eat at their desk in sullen silence. 😂

[@finselbuch]

Dude. I cannot tell you how many times I return to this video, how many times I share this with a loved one. This is an extraordinarily funny and original routine. Hats off to you.

[@SyncJr]

This is still a top tier bit.

[@kuribayashi84]

"I can kill Catering with a thought." - Darth Vader

[@markjones2818]

Love how the guy who joins the que later is Welsh. The accent just makes it funnier 😂

[@AtlasBlizzard]

Welsh is the funniest of the British accents.

"...Alright, I'm Jeff Vader." Just brilliant!

[@ZeHoSmusician]

"Can I have your autograph?"

[@AriefLeuvenardi]

There better be a Death Star canteen in Rogue One

[@DanielVerberne]

I hope the CGI representing the Penne Arrabiata is well executed.

[@flibbityfloo1779]

Arief Leuvenardi sorry there wasnt

[@anousjka5295]

Eddie, you're bloody awesome. I can't count the amount of times we've watched this, STILL makes us laugh.

[@theemmjay5130]

I still remember the time I got a damp tray at Subway, and this one was running through my head.

[@startrekmaniac]

This guy is a bloody genius, and I think he is mildly mad. (crazy)

[@vardellsfolly5200]

Mr Stevens, head of catering, the most influential figure in the entire Death Star, more powerful than God himself.

[@griffoneye1]

I want a Mr. Stevens, Head of Catering action figure.

[@vardellsfolly5200]

You really do not want to have anything to do with Mr Stevens. He will hit you with his +2 frying pan.

[@smith077906]

"This isnt a game of who the fuck are you" Gets me everytime when someone thinks they're amazing

[@exsappermadman25055]

10 years ago, when I was 9, I heard this damn joke in a Lego stopmotion video. I can't believe I stumbled on the source after so long XD

[@rodneyadkins6850]

The Great Gamer I remember that video it was funny

[@roohamm2456]

Apparently he swooshed over the top of alot of heads. Love you Suz...❤

[@SaiaArt]

Lol Eddie is such a nut, I love it. He'd be so much fun to just hang out with day to day and see this material evolve from bits & pieces into something worth a ticket. I bet folding money that canteen stuff started out by him fumbling around making dinner and talking to himself in a half rant. He's a great actor too. Loved him as Long John Silver.

[@mikehennessy2798]

"No fuck off! Or I'll kill you with a tray" still cracks me up to this day.

[@JohnM...]

michael Hennessy I just cracked when he said: " Oh, fuck it - gimme a tray."

[@lindaj5492]

“Head of Catering” 🤣

[@Olsen65]

Seen this 3 times and every time this sketch kills me with a tray. Brillant!!!

[@freddypowell7292]

The bit where he goes "this is the death star, we are in the death star", I thought we were going to have a play on the anarcho-syndicalists from monty-python and the holy grail.

[@benhramiak8781]

I want there to be a canteen scene in a star wars film. Maybe eddie izzard could be mr stevens.

[@mrblue8439]

This was hands down his best joke yet

[@FutureAbe]

Death by tray! Lol classic Eddie bit

[@sunitaraokueng1879]

never fails to make me laugh! 😂😂

[@patrickpalmer3374]

I just found this guy yesterday and he is the real deal. As active as I am on KZbin even with comedy I can't figure out how I missed him. I listened to him most the night last night, while I was making chord progressions and have to say he kept me from it a lot great talent.

[@Pedrovarni]

One of the most famous comedians in the UK.....

[@maggiewalsh9418]

You now have the pleasure of devouring all of Eddie's work with fresh eyes and ears....oh, how I envy you ...

[@TheEyez187]

My Ace Comedy playlist might have something you've missed!

[@logosfabula]

It still cracks me up after all these years.

[@robertmcpherson1617]

Only Eddie Izard could bring such brilliance to what is essentially a rambling bit o' nonsense! 🤣🤣🤣

[@OceanbornAngel]

For those of you keeping track it goes 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9.

[@alexnewman8793]

MonsterHunterRoon Yeah but then for flow of story if you go 451236 it works as a story that has a beginning middle and end. But regardless you forgot the cartoon movie and 3.5 (rogue one)

[@axellevp7544]

I can never order penne arrabiata without cracking up everytime... :D

Liar! You have never ordered it!

Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?
