Life's Too Short - Washing Machine Scene (Ep 6)

Funny scene of Warwick Davis from the mockumentary BBC show Life's Too Short (Episode 6). Created by Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Warwick Davis.

[@conr1633]

“I promise, I won’t sue you.” “That’s not legally binding” 😂😂😂

[@nickruckdl]

Delivery man “read the small print mate..” 😂

[@tormid100]

That was so so funny. Warwick is a giant of a man.

[@johngilmore697]

He played a little bear in Star Wars, he keeps going like he's a proper actor

[@edstraker8451]

They make a great team, those two.

[@darrenagnew7098]

The look on her face when he starts lifting the new washing machine is brill

[@RodCornholio]

Those stairs on the back of the door are pure genius. And I had no idea that Warwick had such comedic talent.

[@glaw73]

That trip at the end is comedy gold, tears streaming down my face 1st time I saw it, still hilarious

[@ryanpeters6937]

That definitely looks like an unscripted fall they left in 😭😭😭

[@noka79]

Best bit, I can imagine Ricky laughing

[@davidmcallister8858]

I read this comment before watching the video so I knew the trip was coming, but I *still* cried laughing when it happened.

I live in the US and I stumbled upon this show when I was like 14. This shit was hilarious. Wish more Americans knew about it, really thought it was genius

[@HK_Musician]

Doesn't have a laugh track, don't think many Americans will know when to laugh

Warwick is one of the most underrated physical comedic actors. Up there with John Cleese.

[@thehangmancometh1813]

I wouldn't say 'up there' but there beside, maybe.

@@thehangmancometh1813 I was gonna say the same thing then I saw your comment 😆

Yeah. He's pretty much like Cleese's leg in Silly Walks..

[@chaoticprogress]

Competing with Cleese is a tall order, but yeah he is pretty much the height of physical comedy

This has me in stitches every time i watch it. pure comedy gold!

[@briannarodriguez9719]

When Warwick tripped the first time, I could hear Ricky Gervas laughing in my head and then I started laughing. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Warwick is funny

[@mistofoles]

I love how Warwick has steps attached to the door :D

[@daverage4729]

Gotta love Warwick's door mounted stairs. The way he nonchalantly just stands there as the door swings shut then tells off the delivery guys. Talk about making an entrance.

[@Psybo]

If it’s too much of a good thing and brings too much joy then the big wigs cancel it because they want to push and promote a culture of degeneracy and artistic stagnation which makes people a lot easier to control so yes very intelligent awesome things are shelved for stupid things Which is the theme of Idiocracy

[@superfluidity]

@Peter T A periscope is just mirrors, it changes the directions but it doesn't make you closer. You'd still be looking at the peephole from 2ft away and you wouldn't see anything through it. Unless you put the periscope lens at the bottom of the periscope and a full size window at the top.

[@trojans1453]

This is not that far fetched. There are actually people like that girl out there in real life. Love the way she just says "I was wondering why you were dumping that one" after 20 minutes of helping him move the machine and throw it down a hill. And how Warwick storms away with his arms in the air. That has been me in the past (minus the short legs).

[@jenniturtleburger3708]

That’s like my gf. One time I closed our hatchback after snowboarding and after driving down the road I noticed it was wide open and my boots had fallen out and she was like, “I told you you didn’t close the trunk all the way.” But I didn’t hear here and she obviously noticed I didn’t get out and secure the trunk. I was like WTF! Lol crazy girl.

[@theblackwhisper]

Yep, once had a friend in the back seat on a drive down through Europe. Pulled over at a petrol station and said “I think I’ve just gone through a speed camera but they look different over here” and he said oh yeah you’ve gone through loads of them.

[@joewhite22]

There are indeed people like this but what's more far fetched is why you'd keep employing someone like that as your assistant/secretary when they are clearly dumb and useless, and in fact more a hindrance than a help.

[@barrysmithhy1583]

@@joewhite22 the joke when warwick gave her the job was nobody else applied for the job so she got it and keeps it by default. of course in real life even the simplest of jobs will have tons of applicants as the job market is a 'sellers market' with more people looking for jobs than there are available. but you know its a comedy show so some liberties are taken.

[@ianinkster2261]

Such a brilliant scene. I feel like the entire thing was built around the visual joke of him just having a super small washing machine, which is never even referenced. Love it.

In a London flat that size is pretty typical.
