Life In The Year 2000

Life In The Year 2000
Narrated By Mr Cholmonley Warner

[@robwatts9437]

Lol this was made in 2001 good old Harry Enfield comedian can't believe some think this was made in the 1930s

[@foufoufun]

+Rob Watts I wasn't sure at first but it was too accurate with the current future to be made in the 1930s. Also like Crashhandburn999 said, electronic computer didn't really exist until the 50s. The term "computer" is far older though but I'm pretty sure that the term "crash" for a computer was only popularized around the 70s.

[@donutgaming7973]

No this was made in 1994

[@robwatts9437]

*****​ in street at Clarks shoe shop they had a primitive electronic computer that was made in the late 1880s

[@troubledsole9104]

Same here. When they said "my computer crashed" I said "Hey wait a minute...and realized I was being stupid" but this is really funny.

[@JeffDeWitt]

Not possible. They might have had a primitive analog computer but there were no electronic devices until the invention of the vacuum tube early in the 20th century.

[@duckgoose4369]

surprisingly accurate

[@MrCelroy]

+Duck Goose Its a parody, it was made in 2000.

[@thepittstop]

+Duck Goose moron...

[@MrCelroy]

***** That's Harry Enfield.

[@maxwainewright5440]

Quite accurate? QUITE ACCURATE????? I live in Great Britain and I have spent an entire school year (semester) and I use Southern Railways, run by Govia Thameslink Railway, and no train, and I mean NO TRAIN, has run on time in the ENTIRE year. Quite accurate my arse!

[@CadetGriffin]

I live in central Arkansas and the only kinds of trains I see are freight trains with at least 125 cars.

[@bubblinbrownsugar616]

0:50 At first I went "oh they dropped the ball on that one". Then they showed the rest of the woman's body........and I fell out laughing!

[@Halpin2006]

At first, I thought this was a real dated 1937 film. But when I saw the portable Grammophones, I got the joke. Truthful as the trend is, British people in 1937 would have thought this would be completely awkward! Exposed midriffs, yes. But they will be tummies that are tight, toned, and twerked.

[@resilient5557]

bubblinbrownsugar616 ha go to any theme park in the summer time and you will see lots of midriffs that are not toned and definitely should NOT be exposed.

[@sallylemon5835]

private railways and 'on time' women's body display and 'piercing' the brooch music on run computers in every home women's politicians surprisingly accurate

[@hismom760]

There can only be one Lemon person.

[@magnified101]

ripoff!

[@codib26]

dumbass lol

[@spzer2557]

"private railways and 'on time'" "surprisingly accurate" *laughs*

[@m.shyamganeesh7421]

Sally Lemon no its fake

[@Waluigiisbest99]

I laughed so hard at the "My computer has crashed again" part!

[@janetcraft]

I might be interested in expanding the idea of having a section of the city called, "The Splendid Zone."

[@joyhandy74]

+Janet Craft Haha "The Splendid Zone", sounds like a name for lady junk ahahahhahaaaa

[@janetcraft]

Lady Junk? Sounds more like a name for a rock band.

[@rhyanbennett2629]

Or a british remake of the "twilight zone". Though the "twining's zone" would probably be more likely.

[@janetcraft]

Thank you. I can look into this.

[@maxwainewright5440]

How dare you insult the British, old chap! We are the height of excellence! We're tip-top old chum, and don't forget! We still have the Empire, don't you know? Oh? We don't? It's what now? Speak up, old chum, I can't hear you? God save the queen, tip-top and cheerio, old chum!

[@november132]

you can tell by the idiocy that this was made not so long ago

[@Krazycutiegurlxxx]

I wish it was made long ago. It would have been amusing to see something so old and yet so hilarious.

[@Anonymous01959]

You mean they didn't have idiots in 1939?

[@eZU4nQsWN9pAGsU38aHj]

This is obviously fake guys.. Use your brains :)

[@CNCmachiningisfun]

I can't wait for the year 2000, so I can have one of those new fangled computer thingies. Awww, it's gonna be so good :) .

[@MandieTerrier]

I want a portable phonograph

[@CNCmachiningisfun]

Erin Smith Ahhh, you want that so you can use it to download phonography ;) . Now that's music to my ears.

[@morpar318]

+CNCmachiningisfun ha ha

[@crumplezone1]

Yeah my mate had one and we would walk round with it lol just like Chumley :)

[@Gynra]

It will never happen. Put aside these foolish dreams.

[@KawaiiCat2]

Lol computer crashing...... xD

[@JeffDeWitt]

I hate it when that happens!

[@SaveThePurpleRhino]

Some commenters didn't realize how this video was made (quite) recently. Poor chaps.

[@cpufreak101]

i laughed at the computer crashes part

[@ryant282a]

Lol me too. It caught me by surprise.

[@ravendane3085]

I can not believe people think this was really made in the 1930s!!!

[@casey3916]

Raven Dane it wasnt

[@zaphodbeeblebrox6627]

Raven Dane :- That’s because, it was filmed so well. And people on here are Fucking idiots.

[@free..to..air..]

Yes...true...and those people..generally older..who see an actor appearing in two different TV programmes at the same time...astonished that they can be on two places at the same time...I've even heard someone say ...it must be a lookalike ..incredible in this day and age of high tech

[@Isaac-gh5ku]

This video is not really made in the 30s, is it?

[@MrCelroy]

+Isaac Adam Nope. Around 2000 if I remember correctly.

[@Mike_Oxbig]

+isacc. Really??

[@donutgaming7973]

No it was actually made in 1994 but it's set in 1948

[@UnknownCartoonEditor]

Isaac Adam nope. 1775 during the revolution

[@UK31337]

The reason they're talking about 2001 and getting it so accurate is because this episode was made and aired in 2001. It's a spoof! For those who STILL don't understand: British railway privatisation happened in the 1990s and hasn't been 100% successful. The portable gramophone is poking fun at the Sony Discman and other portable CD players that were popular around the millennium. "The Enormous Turkey" is poking fun at the Millennium Dome because "turkey" is British slang for a loser or something completely useless/pointless. "Jollity" is obviously Ecstacy.

[@oobujoobu1971]

Did we really need this explaining?

[@oobujoobu1971]

***** No I was referring to UK31337

[@HeeBeeGeeBee392]

Another joke is that the railways weren't nationalised until 1948 and this spoof is set in 1937 when there were separate rail companies, just like after the privatisation of 1994-97.

[@YYBWDL]

There should be TV shows like these nows

[@jenniferc.2075]

I can't believe some posters don't realize this is satire....

[@rick_terscale1111]

posters? the ones you hangs on da walls? LOL

[@Lumibear.]

Jennifer Car in fairness they do it very convincingly.

[@whatshisname3304]

some people are just masocist. and they love winding ....

[@melciveng]

Never underestimate how many dumb fuckwits have access to the net

[@stevejohnson9234]

Posters ?

[@ibrake4butterflies]

Great skit. You guys are SOOO funny.

[@lexiobrien1007]

Prediction game strong

[@thaintriguing1]

Wow! this may have been a joke but they sure were spot on for the most part: (navel piercings, cd's, iPods, pc/mac, female politicians, prescription drugs)

[@thaintriguing1]

***** Bruh

[@thaintriguing1]

+Sound Affects not even close.

[@MrCelroy]

+thaintriguing1 It's a chicken stuck on a stick.

[@krashd]

+Darren Gregory How could you not understand his comment, it was crystal fucking clear.

[@krashd]

***** Mate, I have to admit I think the bastard got us :D I can smell a troll at about 14 feet, but this new Internet thing has me fucked. I don't mind admitting that I reckon now he was pulling our leg.

[@UrSammich]

Yep, gotta love dat brit humor~ Sometimes they do it right, other times they do it horribly

[@UrSammich]

***** When it doesn't seem funny at all. No offense, your guises humor can be a tad weird sometimes. XD What do I know, I'm American and even our humor can be..ye

[@UrSammich]

***** No I agree, I don't find those shows funny at all and I mean Friends is old and Big Bang is just...eh. I mean you brits have a unique humor like we Americans do. What we find funny might not be funny at all. To be honest, I don't find most shows on tv funny anyway.

[@djbeezy]

As soon as you said America didn't land on the moon you lost all credibility. Look at the facts. America was there. I am sorry that you are so angry you were not born an American. It's ok though bro. I am sure your country will accomplish something some day.

[@YAUUN]

***** It's true, it was too expensive to go to the Moon so they went to Mars instead. That's why all the photo's and TV transmissions were in black and white. No-one suspected a thing! The laser reflectors at the "landing sites" were actually set up by Werner von Braun's contacts at the Nazi Moon Base.

[@numbereight886]

Some Americans get British humour because they are British descendants, but large numbers of Americans descend from Europeans many who are emotionally dead... like the Germans. America is a cultural wasteland.

[@UK31337]

This is absolutely hilarious. The comments about the trains specifically... it's unlikely that anyone outside of the UK will get the joke.

[@The_Admiral5]

This show was surpisingly accurate and pretty funny too!

[@Bpg5012trick]

Made in 2001

[@0Curcuit0]

They Predicted the future.

[@valeyach]

It's a satire.

[@MrCelroy]

They were in the future. It was filmed in 2001

[@codib26]

dumbass lol

[@noussimlk1179]

loll the crop top 😂😂

[@rick_terscale1111]

yep that is so funny!! Reminds me of kath n kim

[@JeffersonDinedAlone]

I'm really looking forward to the year 2000! It sounds exciting, and that will be swell!

[@terminatorkid1997]

Close enough

[@jonathangreenyer6516]

Its accurate because it's a recent comedy TV programme from the BBC

[@kerenchadwick6535]

Harry Enfield was A GENIUS !!! An COMEDIC GENIUS !!!!!

LISTEN THIS SONG ON YOU TUBE... LIBERDADE - NACAO NESTA LIBERDADE - NACAO NESTA

[@uncled39]

They pretty much got the future correct

[@brearnegibson1986]

My computer crashed again😂😂😂😂!!!! And the chairlady is still made to do most of the unpaid labour.....

[@allanbyallas7546]

When BBC made brilliant comedy.

[@sonnyblack0870]

Obviously not really from the 30's but hilarious nonetheless

[@WAQWBrentwood]

"portable Gramophone-Men" LOL!

[@Sonjayu]

Oh damn, *walkman* took me a moment to catch that.

[@Thomass7586]

Like in the 2000.s Sucks !

[@cheese8987]

little did they know, 9/11 would occure in 2001

[@cheese8987]

***** daddy

[@geoffupton]

i remember watching this! harry enfield got it so very very accurate didnt he mr chumblywarner! brilliant comedy!

[@esmeephillips5888]

Harry is reading the News Chronicle, which in reality was gobbled up by the Daily Mail in 1960.

[@censusgary]

I didn’t know they have Tupperware in England.

[@kleberg1940]

Congratulations, it's great! Some people even thought it is an old film.

[@SilvertortoisePiano]

The splendid zone 😂😂😂

[@Kirby7601]

Year 2000: Windows 2000

[@gollem3818]

It's a comedy sketch. Not real, for those people who actually don't realise.

[@michaelam9063]

They were on the right track with the belly button jewelry and 'Portable Gramophone Records.'

[@LeoDragon34]

I should think so, considering the sketch was done in 2001.

[@KingofAmerica97]

2000 would have been the perfect year for people with OCD.

[@jzka2012]

This is from a sketch show featuring Harry Enfield

[@butterflyqueen4534]

The 2000s is like 18 for some ingredients years ago

[@lancalotspratt]

Well you have to have a sense of humour what ever year you live in..

[@Blobby192]

the uk really was that huge on the map in days of empire

[@VinusAhboy]

My window 10 still crash again

[@Tekrothebountyhunter]

It may be fake, but they nailed the look and feel of a 50's PSA dead-on!

[@fanatamon]

They were right with the advent of the horrendous and visible gunt.

[@silageheap795]

Let's take a look shall we? Yes Let's take a L-aahh!

[@SkyEFX2]

WOW this was spot on! the walkman! the drug addicts! the computer in every home! discs that can fit on your hands! Women's movement, women working high end jobs! EVEN THE JEWELRY ON THEIR BELLIES! this shit was spot on!

[@MrDaiseymay]

Wonderful comedy. Harry was one of those rare talents, that broke new comic ground. But sadly, what it does, is show what crap we have to put up with now. I wish he would reintroduce these very funny characters again--my favourites.

[@jefraymagnusentosa8179]

holy crap!! they predicted the mp3 players and Internet accurately!!!

[@craigmcvay1]

Moden times in the style of the 40s

[@SRD1014]

Love it when he says "My computer crashed" when if fell to the floor! lol

[@pistolg95]

they were right about the girls

[@puritanpro1]

Exceedingly clever - I laughed so much! Eh, Brit's humor always great!

[@drm2566]

He just popped a disco biscuit

[@diasirea]

Actually, a guy by name of Philo T. Farnsworth, from Utah, had first working TV in 20's, from idea he had in 1916.Sarnoff(head of RCA), and his lawyers, fought issue, but eventually Farnsworth was credited with original idea but received virtually nothing.AC power was project of George Westinghouse in late 1800's, long predating Tesla.

[@jordanpeters3746]

In November 1998 a survey found that 73% of people said that they were not planning to celebrate anything more than a normal new year's day on 1st January 2000 ... most of the remaining 27% were Catholics - for them the year 2000 was a Jubilee Year, the last year of the 2nd Millennium. On January 1st 2000 huge celebrations occurred throughout the world with most people believing it was the first day of the 3rd Millennium, the first day of the 21st century.

[@Celestiual]

well... they're not wrong.

[@masacardenas]

"All the trains run on time as usual" An average day in Seattle, WA in the year 2017 "Passenger trains will be delayed today again. Sound Transportation citing freight traffic as the cause"

[@tonyparks9565]

[@ryancamilleri9473]

They were very close to what we had in 2000

[@Lonsoleil]

@Snagglepussify (cont'd) . . . Bernie Mac, Andy Kaufman, Bill Maher, Paul Mooney, Jim Carrey, Betty White, Chris Tucker, Jerry Seinfeld, Soupy Sales, Charlie Chaplin, Wanda Sykes, Phyllis Diller, George Burns, Steve Harvey, Gilbert Gottfried, and Steve Martin, just to name a very small few. Oh, oh there's just sooooooo many. My wrists are getting tired!! Yeah, I worked it out, didn't I? And don't forget how popular American shows like Family Guy and South Park are in your part of the world.

[@Lonsoleil]

@Snagglepussify 1st of all, I've been to all 50 American states, not that it has to do with anything. Secondly, your argument is weak. You're right, Bill Hicks and George Carlin (u spelled his name wrong) AREN'T funny. You used bad examples on purpose! Well, here's some FUNNY American talent for you: Bill Murray, Dave Chappelle, Chris Farley, Howard Stern, Lucille Ball, Seth McFarlane, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Richard Pryor, Phil Hartman, Drew Carey, Rodney Dangerfield, Redd Foxx . . .

[@D0S81]

for all thos ejits that actually think this is a real thing from the black n white days, and ive noticed a few of you, its actually from the comedy show Harry Enfield, btw, this post is actually coming to you LIVE from the year 1922!! isnt technology wonderful, pip pip =)

[@toniquix]

This is completely fake...it was done recently and they added pretty convincing aging effects , there's also a lot of modern humor and references that could've been almost impossible to predict back then ,though for a second there they had me convinced it was from back then. lol

[@UncleFeedle]

I think the only thing we know about the future with 100% certainty is that there will be even more ways to access porn.

[@greekgeek367]

The jewelry in the midriff part is actually on point! LOL

[@jcp100]

greekgeek367 it was made in 2001 not the 50's

[@GeekBoy03]

You don't get this was a gag? Tupperware did not exist back then. And they did not have lingo like that also "my computer just crashed again."

[@kdreamland]

oh ok......i didn't realise this was a parody until I saw the hand pushing the train. The laugh track really should have tipped me off though.

[@BOT101st]

Either people are just stupid for believing this "oh this is inaccurate" etc, or are just catching onto the latest internet hype of trolling. Moving on... Can't beat Mr. Cholmondley-Warner!! Comedy genuis of Harry Enfield! :D

[@madeinuk68]

I am a fan of a lot of things American,they do a lot of things brilliantly.But they do not do satire and irony anywhere near as good as the British.I know comedy is subjective,and I may be biased being Irish,but I find the British comedies to be a lot funnier than most American ones.There are exceptions of course,but on the whole the British do comedy better.I think it is because we don't really mind laughing at ourselves and our peculiar ways. Saying all that,one of my favourite comedies of all time is Curb your enthusiasm.

[@MisterTalkingMachine]

but they´ve really maked some gramophone records that can fit in a hand and mini record players, and that was before year 2000!

[@identchannel]

they didn't think about MP3 instead of palm-sized records...

[@MrGuyJacks]

This isn't from 1938 is it? It's a parody.

[@Poodleinacan]

Computers started in the 50s or something.

[@Poodleinacan]

***** Hold your insults, buster! You should have understood that I wasn't talking about mechanical computing machines, but electronic computing devices.

[@randywatson8347]

The only thing that was a flaw is the vhs like tape wear. A bunch of overexposure speckles and jumpy filmroll effects would be more accurate for this film :-)

[@r3d0c]

@rhn94 because if it was shot with "Film" and converted to digital they wouldn't have static that is usually found while recording this on a vcr from the TV

[@chrisoffer3074]

Love the portable record player

[@Mattoropael]

The computer crash part is true and will still be true.

[@deanbr6ndo70]

Absolutely spot on predictions.the massive turkey is a must to visit

[@chippysteve4524]

Uncanny.

[@ellcavedweller8301]

Okay.. I don't get how the fact it's a comedy sketch from a TV show is going straight over people's heads. Don't you at least hear the laugh track?

[@diasirea]

The reason why US "invented" most things was because inventors, many of them immigrants or children of immigrants, were allowed the benefits from their ideas.A good example was the Frenchman that perfected photographic techniques in 1800's.Concept was appropriated by French government and inventor merely given a pension by the French government.In US, a person could become very wealthy from patent or selling patent.This important fact overlooked by both sides in this debate.

[@diasirea]

Mosques out number churches in London, men will no longer need women if they want to marry, walking tours of the entire British empire can be accomplished over lunch break, the UK subject needs no longer to concern of any adult responsibilities since the nanny state gives them the carefree lives of infants.God bless Mrs. Ethel Shroat!(A pre-emptive atta-person for the first who figures that out.)

[@Mithrasboy]

75%? Are you sure about that? Let's look at some of the big stuff. Steam engines - that was down to the ancient Greeks. The printing press - that was us Europeans. The battery - Mr Faraday, a Brit. The light bulb- no not Edison. It was Joseph Swan, another Brit. Who developed the internal combustion engine, The Germans. Radio, the Italians. Electronic computers - The Brits- a man called Tommy Flowers a GPO Engineer in 1943.

[@TheLkvoice]

nope. One of the earliest examples of what we might call satire, The Satire of the Trades, is in Egyptian writing from the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC. The text's apparent readers are students, tired of studying. It argues that their lot as scribes is useful, and their lot far superior to that of the ordinary man. Scholars such as Helck think that the context was meant to be serious.

[@ChuddleBuggy]

@rhn94 That's what I thought at first. But thinking about it makes me realize that the actors aren't contemporary, and if they are, they are relatively unknown considering their acting ability. Furthermore, no professional outfit would spend money on the creation of this film without marketing it out, and yet it is inarguably too well made to be of amateur origin. Granted these actors aren't identifiable from theatrical history as well but until it is proven otherwise, I'd stick with authentic.

[@HotCuppaCoffee]

Well, here I am... Living in The Future. I've got a telephone in my pocket, a powerful computer on my lap, and I'm eating a burrito cooked by radio waves... All very nice, but... Where is my JetPack? I was promised that we'd all be flying around with a jet engines strapped on our backs, by now! The Future lied!

[@TheSuzane27]

people did think it would be funny that if people listened radio when running. today, how many people exercise without ipod? how many sit in train without playing with the phone whole journey? how many customer servicers hardly even notice when customer comes to their store because they are busy with fb behind the desk? kröhömm..quite few...
