Harry Enfield - The Playboys

Harry Enfield's superb Playboys sketch from Series 2, Epsiode 2 of his Television Programme series from 1993. Apologies for quality, but its from an old BBC VHS cassette

[@mikegould8215]

To this day, this is still one of the greatest sketches I've seen on TV, I remember this like it was yesterday.

[@oldtintoys]

"Toot Toot" friends are baffled as to why I find this so funny but it's the perfect 70's parody, so many cliche's in such a short sketch...brilliant!

[@agent7947]

Just those 2 simple words make me cry with laughter and bring back the very best of memories

[@jimshelley8831]

It certainly is of Roger Moore and co.

[@robicenco1]

Oh... I laughed myself silly at this twenty years ago and I'm doing exactly the same now - It's magnificent. Harry Enfield's Television Progamme was some of the best television comedy ever made.

[@robjones2408]

A superb homage to the late Peter Wyngarde. RIP.

[@antispindr8613]

And not at all like taking the piss?

[@JamesReadbristolgas]

I wish they had made this into a TV series.

[@waterboy101999]

One of the greatest comedy sketches of all time. Ding Dong!

[@timwright8785]

Another brilliant sketch from Enfield just quality

[@mrspivvy]

I absolutely loved this, every early '70s cliche going

[@noeljames7759]

This is brilliant, anyone who gets it will agree! "Jason Queen" even the xylophone in the opening title shot, LOL!!!

[@TechyMantis]

Akways wanted this to be made into a series

[@richardmullen3155]

A brilliant, well observed (& very funny) homage to all those old ATV & ITC shows. The stock footage of the helicopter as it's taking off is from ITC's the Prisoner. The Comic Strip Presents team also satirise Jason King amongst others in Detectives on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown the sequel to the equally funny the Bullshitters (a send up of the Professionals TV show.)

[@porschepod]

Those 2 comic strip movies are superb - “stop shouting- I can’t!”

[@CunySark]

Boring comment but this along with 'poppet on a string', the casting, make up, hair, film quality etc for these period parodies is really really good, way better than anything else I can think of.

[@bscott77]

Poppet on a swing is still one of the funniest things I have ever seen, ‘get in you bitch!’😂

[@GEricG]

This is one of the funniest sketches that Harry Enfield did.

[@MooMooFutch]

That tickled me in the right spot. Jason King (played by Peter Wyngarde) would be proud.

[@DoingItOurselvesOfficial]

Omg it’s hilarious 😂

[@whonut]

I watched this when it was aired and was rolling about with laughter. After watching it again it had the same effect. Brilliant post!!

[@hotpotato4027]

‘My god, it’s Jessica Dyke’..😂😂

[@Gertilish]

Probably my favorite sketch from any show.

[@svy99n]

Awesome ! Bring back good comedy !

[@reginepoulet]

Fantastic one of the funniest things on KZbin remember watching it first time round

[@tracymurray6840]

I don't remember watching Jason King, but I do remember a few of those British ITV / Associated Television productions that aired either on the CBC or CTV back in the seventies like The New Avengers or The Persauders, most of those crime fighting shows were like that.

[@padraicglynn2657]

Harry Enfield starred alongside Martin Clunes in the first season of Men Behaving Badly

[@antispindr8613]

So, why did they drop him?

[@KarenBraceacts]

Superb then and still 😊

[@johnstairs]

Recorded this first time around and could not stop watching it. Me and my mates still use the quotes today.

[@Jade_holloway]

I also recorded it and all these years later it still makes me laugh like a drain.

[@RiderRated18]

Ah god, i'd fogotten how funny this is. Champagne cork taking out the helicopter LOL !!!!! A nice cliche to those spy tv shows from the 70's, prob one of Harry's best sketches ever :)

[@robicenco1]

And the way that helicopter looks nothing like the one they see taking off five seconds earlier! x-D

[@mrspivvy]

This is a great piss-take of all the old ATV stuff, jason king, the saint, the persuaders etc. "Look out,a mouse!"

[@nsrlegaltech]

Brilliant stuff. In Australia we have Bargearse that’s worth a look. 🦘

[@bonnieandclyde222]

Hahaha yes Jason King , bit of The Persuaders reminds me of. Brilliant Harry Enfield

[@dilshad57]

After seeing this I went out and bought Jason King on video and found it just as hilarious!!!

[@donmackay7610]

This is class And the Persuaders were very entertaining. Have the box set od DVDs and the banter between Tony Curtis and Roger Moore is a scream

[@reginepoulet]

How can this have so few views compared to some of the shit that passes for comedy today there's no comparison

[@Jayfive276]

Oh fuck off with this. There was shit comedy when this came out, there's good comedy now.

[@Jayfive276]

People were saying that about this show when it came out.

[@AICabal]

@@Jayfive276 No, it's all left-wing trash.

[@dopiaza2006]

KZbin algorithm cleansing the world of incorrect comedy

[@shaunfisher9292]

Comedy today is sterile woke crap.

[@Jade_holloway]

So funny, especially the exploding helicopter! I well remember watching this when it aired.

[@elprawn]

Brilliant sketch.

[@ChrisCreamUK]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@vanillaorchid]

I love the way they run.

[@johnwheeler5211]

Just absolutely awesome stuff!

[@Gulftastic]

Filton Kingswood is a brilliant name.

[@chocsal]

I used to live in Kingswood (for those who don't know, it's a district of Bristol, as is Filton).

[@richardconnold5207]

@@chocsal There should have been a character called Clifton St. Pauls.

[@_killbill]

Been after this for years! Nice one.

[@simonf8902]

Needs to become a series. Klassy.

[@jamesbussey2911]

When I was a '70s kid, this was the man I wanted to grow up to be. Then the 1980s came along....🙄

[@8teillumin]

Utterly brilliant ….. this with Top Gear’s Inteceptors bloody brilliant

[@robicenco1]

The way the openng triptych comes together from 0:03 - 0:07 is sensational. I know the laughter's canned, but this part is so funny, it could plausibly be real.

[@enjaysee750]

Thanks for posting, got this on a ropey old video somewhere, but you've saved me the bother of trawling through them...amazing how I can still recite this after all these years!

[@oldtintoys]

Fantastic!

[@bruxyb]

O'Toole, Harris and Reed... 💕

[@JohnMcCartan-ge1cl]

Pitch perfect parody.

[@Mors_Inimicis]

So glad I had this recommended, great memories. I searched out and watched Harry Enfields ‘Leslie the barman’ character last week and this forgotten gem pops up this week.

[@mrspivvy]

the old purple gas ploy!!

[@simonwillis1529]

Comedy gold

[@petyrkowalski9887]

The Persuaders meets Jason King with a hint of Bond. Very funny. Top gear copied this on the show later.

[@paulstanley518]

A real treat,

[@TB.....]

This happened to me on Thursday.

[@charabotte1]

That's not Harry Enfield that's the Persuaders !

[@jimkrb]

Excellent. See also "The Interceptors" from Top Gear.

[@andrewcostin3297]

Rest in peace Mr King...

[@TheUTubeTeamSucks]

Its funny, i only just noticed Clunes mouths "Purple Gas Ploy" just after Harry Enfield's character has said it off shot and then cuts back to them!

[@3BoomtownKat]

It's the signpost at Junction 3 of the M32 on the outskirts of Bristol. Still a class name though!

[@nohaylamujer]

"I'll show the world that women are stronger, more intelligent!" "Look out! A mouse!" "Where! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!"

[@antispindr8613]

But if anyone was brave enough the call this out for the hopelessly dated and sexist comment it is, would not others gang up to attack and insult them?

[@GlowingTube]

The aerobatics sequence is from episode 2 of Department S, the Trojan Tanker.

[@TheUTubeTeamSucks]

Just for info, Amazon UK now list the complete Harry Enfield TV shows being released on DVD in the spring - there have been flase alarms in the past, but lets hope this is genuine - one of the greatest comedy series not available on DVD IMO.

[@judgeyourself7206]

[@mkrbrtsn1]

Lady mud wrestlers in need, that's my favourite charity!

Why have these never been released on DVD?

CLASSICK!!..

[@anthonyleighton4754]

at least martin clunes got to hide his ears - with the hippy wig - early harry enfield was great

[@ACNC1]

Well funny, and well before Austin Powers!

[@robneal6476]

Both were based on "Jason King"

[@garymorgan3314]

The actress is Jaye Griffiths isn't it? Very pretty when young. Saw her in "Ashes and Mettle' at the Court late 2021. Only okay but she was good as a banana Republic president.

[@andrewspyer71]

an excellent sketch. anyone know who were playing the two 'lady mud wrestlers'? mmm. the straight haired one was rather nice. Everything about this sketch is perfectly observed. Ridiculously badly choreographed fights were a staple of these kinds of series, and the mud bath fight here manages to take it just one extra notch up into complete absurdity. classic.
