ABOFAL Real estate agents working at the pump

A very nice sketch from "A bit of Fry and Laurie".
You might not think it particulary funny as ABOFAL sketches go, but on the other hand - you might.. If you've ever had the misfortune of talking to real-life real estate agents... :):)

[@TheThePerson]

Estate agents, you can’t live with them and you can’t live with them

[@sycois]

You can't live with them and you can live without them!

[@SirMordrag]

@@sycois No, it's can't - can't. It's actually from another sketch, Love it or Loathe it i think :)

[@peterclarke7240]

She has an absolutely incredible "natural disaster charity video" voice. Perfectly cast!

[@SacredDaturaa]

This sketch is esellent, absolutely esellent

[@AndrewWeit]

It's a right good bit, too; because the ass-end is clean for me, m'good sir .

[@jintarokensei3308]

Esselent, asolutely esselent.

[@BunkerMonkeyUK]

If fuel prices rise any further. This could be the way 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

[@matthewhendy5785]

Estate agents- if you try to talk to them, you vomit.

[@bozm9961]

Imagine if people actually did this 😳

[@arnatri1503]

Dr. House did some odd jobs in his youth.

[@abehambino]

Med school ain’t cheap!

[@markstartup3349]

Simon flacid…

[@whatonearth9809]

She was fit!

[@bfkc111]

Wtf... You must have constant precum just by seeing literally any woman whatsoever.

[@pineapplepenumbra]

@@bfkc111 Bear in mind that what Lee needs, genetically, to make good babies, will be different to what you would need, thus his tastes could be wildly different to yours. If this wasn't the case, and we all fancied the same type of women then we would be in the absurd, and somewhat disgusting, situation, where some people just never got a partner, and many men ended up fancying the female members of their own family. Vive la difference!

[@nocturnal1147]

Nice revenge ending lol.

[@philipmonihan8222]

One thing you've got to say about Fry & Laurie, they weren't afraid to give their guests the funniest lines.

[@kartikpandey1353]

The "Please, give generously." always cracks me up. Edit: Love the way she looks at them when she says "And, now you are running a petrol station." You can tell how irritated she already is with them and is really thinking of murdering them.

[@grendelum]

What a *_brilliant_* ending to the sketch !!!

[@TykusBalrog]

For some reason i find their way of speaking incredibly satisfying to watch.

[@SnuffIt]

I love that they talk fast (at least that’s what it seems to me English is not my mother language so idk)

[@TheCapedWanderer]

What’s ‘cheaper’ in New Money, Simon? Beautifully priced.

[@cmasseylynch]

Real Estate agents are such shy and humble creatures aren't they ?

[@bace1000]

Did I arks you

[@ScoopMeisterGeneral]

Not sure about "shy" or "humble", but "creatures" is certainly an approproate description.

[@Kasino80]

"The arse end's clean for me"

[@forgive7449]

dont believe i've had the pleasure of having the pleasure 😏

[@cmasseylynch]

Eighties Clubs were often called "Shaggers" "Tootsies" "Chicks and Spix"and other awful names. Good sketch.

[@rouslanbugorskiy230]

In 2022 question about "spending bracket" isn't funny. Full tank of gas is a serious investment.

[@pineapplepenumbra]

1:36 "Conveniently situated in a pump." Apparently not!

[@fisherking7798]

Simon Flaccid 😄

[@rhyssanders9122]

"Do you mind going into the switching on pump number four game because im in a bit of a hurry" burn lol

[@MrAlexsaint]

Never saw it before and was literally thinking: "At this point she really needs a gun" :)

[@xcmodev1558]

£10 for a fill up? That’d be nice lol

[@chrisdavies5935]

He said £10 for 2 pints. 1136ml. £8.80 a litre. 7 times the price at the pump today. If you’re happy to pay that give me your address and I’ll send you some 👍

[@e4ts1mmy]

Simon Flacid ...lmao

[@RedSkyHorizon]

Ended in the same style as the Talbot and Richard sketch.

[@NxDoyle]

There is a moment in most, if not all episodes of ABOFAL, in which Stephen takes a line that on paper is really nothing and he turns it into a bona fide gem. In this sketch, it's around 2:31 Not going to say what it is, as it will be easy enough to spot.

[@tjfSIM]

Yep - I know which line you mean and you're right, it was beautifully observed and executed! Lots of little gems in this sketch alone, let alone a whole episode - just love these two.

[@fyodorseriencha6538]

Three's a crowd eh

[@heygranti24]

Actually, as said by Laurie and Fry in many of their interviews, they write what is funny to them. So, lines might not seem funny to the listeners when imagining it on paper but for them, it's funny.

[@guharup]

whats flaccid doing being a members of screwers club?

[@quintonballenden1436]

Simon Flacid.......excellent.

[@SimderZ]

£1.95 a gallon.. must be closer to £6 now.. maybe

[@nevermindthebollocks1171]

Estate agents working at the garage I think you'll find.

[@fonziebulldog5786]

These days they are everywhere. Blocking the traffic while trying to find the fastest lane, the supermarket queue and arguing over outdated discount coupons, the hospital waiting room screaming they are most sick and on the beach trying to convince you to buy their place who is closest to the ocean and sometimes in the ocean and on and on ... Lets get a free from estate agents day to charge our lifeforce from further tempting deals who just gets you back to the start point. LETS DO IT. 😄👍

[@newtonwhatevs]

I have to call my estate agent tomorrow... just trying to gather enough strength.

[@nbartlett6538]

£10 worth of petrol would barely get you off the forecourt in 2018 :-(

[@JohannesWiberg]

Might force you to take the bus. But it's the first, small, step towards saving us from a global catastrophy. So it's a pretty good deal, I'd say.

[@RUBBER_BULLET]

When I pour £10 worth of petrol through your letterbox and flick a match in, I reckon you'll be glad that the local fire engines all have internal combustion engines and that the firemen aren't all waiting at the bus stop.

[@ridanann]

bullets were cheaper back then an assault rifle lmao not on the civilians shoping list now. an 50 quid not even if u had the licence maybe in the us or russia but not here when brexit comes remember to grab a gun of a copper lol.

[@RUBBER_BULLET]

@Herbert Erdferkel I'm guessing that none of your family or friends own a car or are they all fat ass morons too? Just another self-righteous, hypocritical prick who is compelled to preach to the rest of humanity because he is blissfully ignorant or wilfully denies the impact that his own pissy, little choices will have on this planet. From the building materials in your house filled with wholly unnecessary consumer goods, the food that you eat, the children that you bear, the water that you use, the electricity that you use, the oil/gas/wood that you burn to keep your smug, little arse nice and cosy to the smelted metals and plastics in your shitty, little, overpriced bike and your ridiculous lycra suit. So unless you live in a mud hut, are wholly self-sufficient fed, never use heating, hot water or national grid electricity, haven't borne some grotesque, little bastards that you hope to rear in your own fuckwitted image and your bicycle has a bamboo frame and tyres made from your own turds then maybe you should remain quiet and avoid embarrassing yourself any further. I hope that you like the taste of petrol because I'm going to pour a couple of gallons down your throat, and I think I've got a couple of matches left.

[@dkemp292]

@@RUBBER_BULLET I dunno why ur freakin out and writing a paragraph to someone who will never read it. You clearly tried to 'inflame' this conversation :) (im proud of that one). Also... do you think that if we can't get everyone in our immediate lives onto the same plan as ourselves we should all just give up? Also... dont get too used to living in hate and anger cause it can be a habit that is hard to give up.

[@aybgim3850]

Welcome to 2023.

[@christiangoossen563]

02:36 , improv phone flip 👍🏻

[@Oscuros]

We don't have "Real" Estate over here. Basically, here in England where English was invented, our Estate Agents are also free to even sell fake estate too, like a cardboard home, and if you don't use a surveyor to find out, it's your fault, innit?

[@CristiNeagu]

2 quid a gallon? How times have changed...

[@ianbrewer4843]

So funny

[@davegonnaway6007]

Brilliant these 2 underrated

[@redstrat1234]

Wonderful

[@MusicFanatical1]

Wow another unexpectedly dark ending!

[@samtaylor7279]

Is that .... Cassandra???

[@PlayNiceFolks]

Tsss...but where are they fake estate agents? Tssst.

[@patrickdoolan9527]

'The Crumpet there is first rate....Classic!

[@LazySillyDog]

Unfortunately relevant right now on the east coast of US

That took a dark turn!

[@derkaiser7968]

Shoot Stephen Fry first. He do not even want to make a arrangement at Friday 11:00 o clock because ''it does not suit him'' Yea sure Bang, bang and he is dead.

[@clairefm1497]

wow the ending is America sadly

[@thesturm8686]

She's not a person of color, so, not american enough

[@dudanunesbleff]

@@thesturm8686 Of course she is a person of colour! I mean, she isn't transparent, is she?

[@atklm1]

50 pounds for an assault rifle? Where, in Somalia?

[@MerkhVision]

I know, right? I’d kill for prices that low! Lol

[@nemo-x]

@@MerkhVision But you can't. Cuz you don't have an assault rifle!

[@andrewbaumann2661]

What accent are they trying to do? It's like they tried to be more street and ended up being australian.

[@SunnyIntervalsORG]

Yuppy.

[@tonyhedgewolf]

I was at school with guys like that. They had serious trouble with the word 'water'... always came out sounding like 'warder' 🤣

[@SunnyIntervalsORG]

@@tonyhedgewolf How did they pronounce the word 'toast'?

[@tonyhedgewolf]

@@SunnyIntervalsORG not much noticeable difference really, perhaps more like 'toste' if that helps.

[@marypridham3823]

Andrew Baumann definitely not Australian 😆

[@cheatsenabled1662]

The woman ruins it at the end. Such a spoilsport!
