Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French Acceptance Speech | Women of The Year Awards 2016 | Glamour UK

[@shannonb082905]

Dawn French was so pretty all her life but now at 60 years old she looks totally amazing! I hope in 5 years I even look half that good!

[@zaasfromparis]

DANNY DIRE the fact you think surgery cost millions show how ignorant and mean you are

[@sabrinaphillips916]

I had a bestie like this, a partner in crime who was brilliant and funny and all that. I lost her to mental illness and there’s nothing I can do about it other than pray for her. However, whenever I see these two I’m reminded so much of my old friend, the laughs and how we were. These two are so brilliant, and it was nice to see Jennifer mention about friendships and how rewarding they can be

[@Cozybelle30]

Nothing beats out French and Saunders. They are the greatest comedy duo ♡

[@survivor648]

CM G yes I admire their friendship I agree with Jen that she has promoted female relationships ❤️

[@survivor648]

CM G yes love them but I love Edina and Patsy more

[@laminage]

I know I am Canadian and I would fall out laughing at their skits. The Prison Visit was hilarious as well as The ABBA Group. Them and Little Britian are true legends. They could give the folks on Saturday Night Live in The US a run for their money.

[@localgirleh]

I honestly can't think of anyone more deserving of this award than Jen! Both her and Dawn are amazing!

[@mckavitt13]

She and Dawn 👓🎓💼

[@survivor648]

As well as wonderful role models for women, long term friendships, loyalty and commitment

[@mothbean1777]

"Come here, stand here! Don't stand behind me you fucking twat, come here!" I love these two so much ^^

[@baitedlol6972]

I absolutely love these two and the friendship they have. Flame each other to bits and still nothing but love

[@peopleddiagram2920]

Dawn French looks absolutely stunning!! And to top it off, she looks better now than in her 20's !!!!!!!! Dawn and Jennifer have achieved so much over the years, kudos to them both.

[@survivor648]

Jen is one of the most talented hard working women as well as a good friend she shares the wealth I truly admire her for all of these attributes.

[@tooleyheadbang4239]

She's also vaguely funny in comparison with the appalling Dawn French.

[@linrob1312]

I love Jennifer and Joanna Lumley together. Not so fond of Dawn altho love her as the Vicar.

[@survivor648]

@@linrob1312 totally agree Dawn is to bubbly for me you should check out Oxford by the comedy club where they got their start Dawn plays a serious role and is quite good Jens role is stellar!

[@trixyminx]

Oh grow up, they are both ducking awsome . You bunch of Karen’s

[@timwthornton]

I seriously watch this about once a year just to check it's still brilliant and it never disappoints

[@lekkki1]

I freaking, FREAKING LOVE Dawn and Jennifer. One thing people forget is that Dawn was one of the main writers and producers on AbFab. Her collaboration with Saunders was made in the heavens, or someplace akin to that. A place for outspoken, incredibly funny, intelligent, irreverent women. These two belong in every film hall of fame out there, like Lucille Ball they re-wrote the book on how women can present themselves; humor, and wit. HUGE RESPECT!!

[@sam.jones89]

lekkki1 dawn didn’t contribute to writing/producing Ab Fab tv show. She did the original sketch with Jen for French and Saunders

[@DistantCousin]

She didn't write anything. She came up with the original concept with Jennifer, and was an executive producer of the series "Saunders and French Productions" :)

[@C.Church]

Pretty sure Saunders did most of the writing. And Ruby Wax approved the scripts (or however her job duty was called)

[@janelliot5643]

YES! Our post-modern Lucy & Ethel

[@TheNerdVoice]

My actual comedy parents. They helped me get through so many things as I was growing up and I appreciate them SO much.

[@laminage]

I live in Canada and some of their performances had me on the floor laughing. I loved the parody of Abba or a Boy Band or the Prison Visit. How some of their backing performers kept a straight face is beyond me.

[@ivarlundberg2320]

You are not the only one:-)....

[@vashnanerada8757]

@@laminage prison visits is one of my favourites. CONTESTANT YOU HAVE TO MAKE A 7 LETTER WORD FROM THESE 4 LETTERS. ZPQA. 😂 I CAN'T. TAKE IT ANYMORE THE PUTRID SMELL OF CABBAGE THE BARS ON THE WINDOWS. IV JUST GOT TO GET OUT OF HEAR. 😂

[@raeturner8711]

Yeah, they were probably growing up themselves to at the time of them being in their early 30s. Lol but yes, they are and were so funny.

[@theaussiebackflipboy]

So sweet that she dedicated the award to Victoria Wood - another amazingly funny woman.

[@elleesse824]

Champions! Jennifer saunders, dawn French and Victoria wood. legendary. thank you!

[@misterhoeflak]

Best. Acceptance. Speech. Ever. Go Jennifer.

[@BobbyManford]

National treasures. One of my happiest memories as a child was watching french and Saunders with my parents and us all laughing hysterically. Their comedy brought the family together Thank you ladies

[@vashnanerada8757]

What was your favourite sketch

[@survivor648]

What a life Jen has led she is an amazing, beautiful, smart and talented woman that I love and admire!

[@joshaw9565]

Just wonderful! ;-) Jennifer's relaying of the conversation in the cab...priceless!

[@melindafischer3172]

Brilliant duo these two!!! We don't see them enough!!

[@kaleahcollins4567]

I grew up in America and my mom was a brit com fan so I grew up watching French and Saunders and Ab Fab

[@pandorafox3944]

French and Saunders are goddesses. Period.

[@mbaysden2747]

I absolutely adore these two!!!

[@emmaroman4274]

I love how you could hear over Dawn's speech Jennifer say THANK YOU haha

[@wsw360]

Dawn French's brand of humour always makes you feel warm and happy inside.

[@msteaguer1908]

I love the comedic talents of both women; a great fan of Absolutely Fabulous!

[@Foreverfree4444]

Jennifer Saunders is an absolute Genius and a gift from the gods to bless us with the best entertainment.

[@scouser2010ify]

I love these two I always have I’ve watched them for so many years

[@megansalt]

Why all these comments about their looks? Who cares, these are some of the brightest most creative creatures on our planet! Praise them while they last!

[@terrimoore8879]

I will watch her in anything!! But I will always miss the Vicar! I adore Dawn French. Thank God, Thank Britain, that sceptered isle,. "This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England!"

[@673mclover673]

Terri Moore same! I'm so happy about this comment!😄

[@WelahHomo87]

Such a beautiful gesture dedicating the award to Victoria Wood

[@RogueWJL]

Amazing lady. Inspiration to nen and women, to everyone. Such a legacy or work and incredible memories we all have our own special connection to. That rakes not only talent but something far beyond.

[@survivor648]

She is the most amazing woman!❤️🥰

[@david_zau]

Two fabulous women!

[@AK-ql8yp]

I love Dawn & French and Dawn looks amazing with all the weight loss 🤗

[@673mclover673]

Dawn is my absolute idol

[@deebeedaydreamer]

1:51 Jennifer going "yeah, yeah, yeah"❤😂

[@donna8]

Haha. Brilliant

[@miladydewinter7770]

I LOVE French and Saunders. (and Joanna Lumley) -- have the complete set of Ab Fab DVDs - and I watch "Let Them Eat Cake" whenever I'm in need of cheering up.

[@pw6160]

I swear i always wanted to move to London so that i could live next door to Patsy and Eddie!!😂

[@lauramackenzie1157]

Genius!! Absolute genius partnership!!

[@simonhbrooke]

Reductive I know, but Dawn French looks terrific.

[@lisaleone2296]

I never thought she looked bad, but she looks really really good! For once I think Dawn looks better than Jen!

[@amyg4983]

+Lisa Leone dawns always had a stunning face and brilliant hair, her weight just took centre stage in many people's minds

[@dizzydowdall8140]

jeez can us women stop focusing on how us women look ffk. and we complain about magazines defining us by our looks? live by example - two fantastic comedy geniuses is what i see!

[@quadbox]

You could discuss their talent, intellect, friendship or a multitude of other things rather than discuss their weight - which, to be frank, is none of your bloody business.

[@kajakkille]

quadbox get over yourself, it's KZbin. Of course you can appreciate Dawns weight loss and good looks as well as French and Saunders amazing career, inspiration and talents.

[@brittanijohnson5744]

I wish we had a show like French and saunders in the states when I was growing up, maybe it would had made a huge difference in comedy and women writers in general.

[@sheilaburns8977]

Love both Dawn and Jen. Big laughs from these two always!!! Congrats to the ladies who squash the stereotype that women don't get along .... friends for decades!!! .... PEACE to ALL.

[@beatnickblanket]

I love how Jen makes a joke about the phallically shaped award being "not sexual" but Dawn doesn't know and thinks she was saying that THEIR relationship was "not sexual", taking the joke and running with it. That's comedy magic in action right there.

[@BHAKTIBROPHY]

Cheers, Eddie!!🍾🍾🥂 (Thanks to PBS for airing ABFAB over here in the States in the 1990s! Oh-- and I LOVED The Young Ones, which aired on MTV in the 1980s... was so excited when I learned Jennifer is married to Ade! Two comic geniuses!)

[@ednaconlon411]

Love Dawn and Jennifer they just the best

[@MrDavfit]

Perfect intro.... Perfect speech.. Lov u gurls

[@Scathingly]

There will never be another Dawn French--brilliant comedic actress who also happens to be a stunning beauty at whatever weight; still, her loss of weight will help enormously to keep her with us for a very long time.--with the proviso that she eats plenty fruits and vegetables. Sheeesh, I love that woman!

[@dbertobis]

They are two geniuses and make my life much better ❤

[@megansalt]

I wish this kind of creativity and originality was still around!

Two Queens 💛💛

[@fasteddyuk]

Legends.

[@ursie1986]

These two are just such heroes. Funny, like properly unashamedly themselves funny, able to call out any kind of bullshit with wit and intelligence rather than clumsily wielding the axe of "feminism", and MOST IMPORTANTLY they give me hope of being fucking gorgeous past 40.

Those ladies are so brilliant at Comedy. I live in Canada an when I saw them do a Parody of Abba I almost fell on the floor laughing They ha those Four down pat that I had to do a double take and realize it wasn't them. Also the Prison Visit was also a classic.
