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.

[@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 😭😭😭

[@noka1979]

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 actually thought that was the worst bit, overkill

Little arms and legs all over the place 🤣🤣🤣🤣

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..

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

[@Daplin1]

I really like that they both keep appealing to the camera.

[@BlackBarney]

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.

[@Rothstein]

When I saw this scene for the first time I was laughing for several minutes, I couldn't stop.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

That unintentional tripping over the hand truck at the end was the icing on the cake.

Tall or short we can all relate to scene where Warwick throws his hands up and goes "FFFFUUUUUCK!"

Did he intentionally trip over the dolly? If it was staged it was the best acting ever. How was this show not a smash hit globally?

"Push the door!"

[@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]

That's the charm of it - we have all met a girl 60% like that before.
