Make Way for Lord Bacon Rind

[@Rory-ic7eg]

This w franken is at once fifty years late and one hundred early, a lone voice in the comedic wilderness

[@marioforetti7258]

Call off the search. Comedy is back!

[@يويفجاسم]

Perfectly calibrated to Will’s talent.

[@HaroldAGoff]

I feel as if Will just went into technicolour. Absolutely perfect vehicle for his abilities. Love is indeed all and it shines brightly here. Well done all!

[@tigerofindia927]

Two minutes silence for all the poor fools who will never see this gem.

[@shahmanarzon7261]

There are many things I love about this but this is a quick summation: it acknowledges elements of the depressing dystopia we’re living through but channels it into a joyful absurdity which leaves me with some hope instead of endless sneery sarcasm or political onerism. Thank you.

[@Malibu1515]

I just thought today. I wonder how Wil Franken is doing. Haven't heard from him in a while. This just made my evening. Thank you good sir.

[@RobbedSoul]

Divertente e selvaggio mi è piaciuto dio ti benedica Will.

[@marcus2336]

A great surprise after far far too long. I can't explain what I've just watched. But I watched it all 👍🏻

[@carlbarker2457]

I watch this every couple of days to remind myself that comedy still exists.

[@gamingwithsehzada9641]

Work of art worthy of praise and recognition

[@as_nirwal_gamrs2223]

There’s no coming back from this.

[@lisabates0810]

Loved it , one of my favourite bits was your Piers Morgan 😂😂😂😂 Brilliant , and i will watch again because i was laughing and missed bits !!!

[@simonestreeter1518]

Just watched it a third time, and still caught stuff. It's a gift.

[@susanforsythe2494]

I think the line “don’t you worry that you’ve lost your mind, make way for Lord Bacon Rind” sums up the zeitgeist better than any pompous poetry could!!

[@hcscofield2601]

will franken performs and he bares me on his wings and lifts me to the Lights Of Heaven.

[@marioforetti7258]

“I thought she was Lionel Blair!” This is my new favourite thing in the whole world. Thank you for the gift.

[@kingdomofcapybaras6850]

This is bloody fantastic stuff! You two have done an incredible job - I'm not even sure how you managed it! I have been raucously laughing watching it and no doubt annoying the neighbours. Among my highlights - although I know there are others too: the wig stroking, the fairy, the inner child, Keir Starmer, the dancing and the sand babies. You two are also the BEST at making up names! Loved the sneaky Jimmy Stewart bit. Fab costumes too. It's a fine life indeed!

[@stevecray8282]

An absolute fuck7ng delight! Nice one Will.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@rogerbrummett325]

This will be a cult classic. Mark my words.

[@appa71_17]

I didn’t know Jack Nicholson talking about doing a cockney dance was what my life was missing but it was.

[@simonestreeter1518]

Low budget, high talent, very timely surreal comedy of exquisite rarity. Utterly nonpareil, dahlings. Kudos. I am so happy to be able to see Will's full frontal physicality and look for all the details in Ms. Prince's set design. Oh, and terrifying Marlene Dietrich makeup/effects. Did I hear Lorenzo at around 7--oh yes, and 57 minutes? Oh yes, it was! Awesome ending image too. I think I could watch Titania McGrath try to deal with a frisbee for an indefinite period of time. I hope to share this a lot, but who is left who has this great of a sense of humor? Astounding artists, both of you.

[@tamilfoodieboys7502]

Thank you from someone who hates “comedians” but loves comedians.

[@scottwhittaker4959]

I’m having flashbacks!

[@smittywarbenyagermangensen4860]

a man in his element doing what only he can do

[@simonestreeter1518]

Sorry, forgot: omg, the Kipling references...soo good. I love the character Timothy Timid (or something like that). Hadn't seen him before.

[@carolynproctor1379]

The words to fine life are wonderful. I can tell so much effort must have gone into this, well done everyone. A rare example of not selling out. 💜

[@proly4492]

Take away the on, you’re left with the drag!

[@LadySquiffington]

Good to see ya Will.

[@16x2-8JAAT]

I cannot explain to my family why this kind of humour is my cup of tea but it most surely is.

[@ernestgardner7439]

This film always makes my day better!!!

[@Donkool-h7v]

I see only enlightenment after this catharsis. God bless America, God bless England, God bless Ali and Will!

[@morganwade9220]

Will does fake sincerity so well, must’ve watched a lot of commercials growing up!

[@marijnguyen1276]

I think I’ve broken my brain. Bits of this film keep floating around my head.

[@playmusicpm278]

I “laughed out loud” more than anything in the last 15 years

[@MahmudKhan_MK]

The fine life dance is the stuff of legends. Fantastically vicious re-writing of a “we know our place” cockney classic!

[@funboxes1991]

Such a remarkable and bizzare brand of humor. Envision the off chance that this were on television. Disgrace on the UK!

[@alfiesims6783]

This is exactly what I needed to cheer me up during the “coronavirus pandemic”

[@SebastianKottayam]

You should make a documentary on the making of this film because I would watch it

[@borisjack1164]

I could go to Edinburgh and see needy crustaceans inflict their slimy career climbing desperation on me with “I’m just saying what we all think” cretinism. Or I could watch this film and laugh at something actually funny without feeling like I need to take a shower afterwards. The authentic story is the best one!

[@charlotroest5938]

This sort of work/imaginativeness is uncommon, and when, on occasion, it happens, as in this amazing work, it reestablishes certainty.

[@rozershefer7128]

Will really came into his own here, ooh misses!

[@ffwarriorszone9652]

This was such a massive surprise and absolutely made my day!

[@perrygrimes4297]

No matter how many times I watch this I find myself pressing replay. As Whitesnake so prophetically exclaimed: “Here I go again”

[@Hl5i]

That “don’t you worry” song so poignantly sums up England for me. It’s beautiful yet tragically absurd and it haunts my nightmares.

[@snackcool8949]

I’m forwarding this to everyone I know, even outer-space ones.

[@mkjason7808]

This should be shown at a cinema like Rocky Horror with everyone dressing up as different characters and shouting out punchlines: “YOU LUCKY BASTARD!”

[@chrisscofield5663]

Love you will. This has the feel of "we're only in it for the money"

[@pgonzalez7745]

This would be so hard to explain to someone but if I had to I would say it’s Rocky Horror, Rock n Roll swindle, Bottom, Head, Carry On and Python for starters. Highlights for me: Mr. Egg, Argument with inner child, Al Pacino and the skilful shoehorning of Fra Alberigo into a Mellencamp-esque American anthem!

[@jassica5001]

This is just beautiful. I love the existential suggestion that we are all one and doing this to ourselves (Barbara = Limbard)

[@nandezification]

HE HAS RETURNED! ALL HAIL WILL!

[@keniiilmarinen6964]

Absolutely top banana Will, loved every minute of it and respect to your Director Alisha j. Now we need the outtakes.

[@markhowes5923]

Glad to have you back Will!

[@marthalaberge6857]

In a perfect world, that would be the UK Eurovision entry 2023. Alas, we are in an imperfect world.

[@marioforetti7258]

Ali is a beautiful person and a gifted writer.

[@raishhoon3973]

This is one of those things which conflicts me because I know it deserves universal circulation yet I want to guard it jealously like a people’s princess prickly pear.

[@willyg.sdystopianfuture5947]

Your work during the 'pandemic' is among the depressingly few examples of comedy and comedians doing what they should be moved to do in a free society. The Emperor has no clothes, and Will, you shout that from the rooftops.

[@RodolfoJAubry]

The authentic story is the best one!

[@lupes.weldon3032]

Great video

[@Tom-kt8lu]

Marlene hahaha

[@poppyparkinson6008]

I was actually crying at the lion mask.

[@fadumowolbers6529]

Congrats and my most profound regard.

[@ralphrobinson751]

Bacon Rind 2 please.

[@alexandera.wright9876]

“MAKE. WAY. FOR. LORD. BACON. RIND!!!!!”

[@phileineramkisoen2692]

My favourite free-speech guy, Voltaire.

[@duyke7887]

Lord Bacon Rind made me think of Abbie Hoffman putting up a pig for presidential candidacy!

[@besert22-uk8yx]

Barbara reminds me of my aunty so that was quite disturbing.

[@necksugar]

You are a special gift to this world. Thank you for understanding what is happening against our children. It's a Heartbreaking Situation. Staying Human is an ACTIVE struggle. But as usual God told us that this would happen. . You are a fantastic reminder that there people acting all over the place! That part on Ghost busters when they opened the tank with all Hell inside? This UNLEASH of the longamed Flashmobbing cocaffany societies.aLOOSED upon the planet all Over the place with replicating capillaries in panoramic space. radiation in attempting to mutate the psychological cognitive behavioral and neurology of our most important people. Our kids. But people say that I'm l"ooking too far into it ." Thanks for relecting the actor agents back to them. It's brilliant. born for such a time as this! Thank You ! "Brain so light , You can even wear it as a Broach!" Hahahaha lol 😆 I adore it.

[@mattp.2409]

I think it was named “Pigasus!” We could certainly do with an Abbie Hoffman.

[@prasanthe7236]

Is this what an acid trip feels like?

[@janicewebb6794]

I love Britannia pouring pasta back in the bag and the upside-down Plato book, emblematic of the arrogance and gravitas they give to a glorified 4chan prank.

[@marione.thomas1151]

IT’S YOUR BRAIN!!

[@luckyluke3484]

What's title of the song in 18th minute please? Cheers.

[@jasonpaul2736]

Just say the word ‘Tibet’!

[@jardenc]

The sublime and the ridiculous. Thank you for making light of all the bullshit

[@Christopher-rq6di]

Al Pacino approves this content 👍

[@davidfenton6682]

I think Norm Macdonald was the funniest man alive. Did you like Norm Will? Love your work!

[@gamingwithsehzada9641]

I’ll stop now lest I spoil the cat with over analysis!

[@betulmoerdijk9039]

It took me a while after to think through that this featured a man in drag as a woman telling a man in drag as a different man that the man he’s in drag as is in drag as himself. Wait, no, a man in drag as a woman is telling a man in drag as another man that the man he’s in drag as is, in real life, in more drag than the man in drag as a woman.

[@timevideo4503]

“Harpsichord misandrist” is how I’m going to insult everyone from now on.

[@sonjawhite5815]

Better centr4al heating syste4ms for4r centriqal britain!

[@mathewmyladoor2334]

Can you do an actual podcast as Timothy Timid?

[@Supersctar]

I’m not sure everyone will appreciate Circle’s Rhimenheimer Circle, the feedback loop of corporate profit motive, as it implies responsibility of the dissin french man in the info super highway roundabout loop. This may be a flaw in the model as opposed to the understanding of the common man which is irreparably feeble thus the responsibility of men, women, nonbinary, transgenders (not to be redundant), and kinfolk (animals should be respected too) or any other identity identifying identifier of good stock to shepherd the herd. The rhimenheimer graph is perhaps better understood as nodes arranged on a spiraling mobius strip of five dimensions, 4 of space and one of time or as one may put it the electronic highway superloop vacuum tubule to hell and back and back again or in less academic words, the sheep powered lamb roaster coaster cannibalism press-media pressing engine.

[@davidfenton6682]

Thanks for clarifying

[@markjones4244]

Should we look out for you in next year’s Eurovision??

[@gearoidwalsh8606]

Dynamite

[@sonjawhite5815]

EEh by gum I were murdered by me stalker

[@melissabright9062]

I thought this kind of punk rock DIY was dead. I am happy to be wrong. Everything looks so over produced and hi def now at the expense of actual content. I love everything about this including the budget so as much as I want everyone to see it, I also don’t!

[@randyklingbeil7822]

If I was a millionaire I would pay you guys a million pounds to just mess around with some cardboard and plasticine.

[@ThomasCSosa]

Only thing I’d add is you could’ve called it Britannia M’ GRIFT!? If a middle-aged man pretending to be a girl on social media is satire then there’s an awful lot of ‘satirists’ on remand right now.

[@perryjones2502]

I have been in so many arguments for simply saying I find bill hicks boring!

[@rafihasan1452]

In the same way as other analysts here, I love comedy however disdain "comedy" It can appear as though there is only abrasive phony giggling, tasteless panel shows with exhausting 'bar chitchat' or the artificial absolute opposite which has turned into what it purported to abhor, and that's just the beginning. Congrats and my most profound regard.

[@bullyboy444]

I’m first……

[@lora433]

Any one of these characters alone would be worth 40 minutes of standup (especially Barbara!) and makes me realise how boring comedy in general has become. Sneer sneer political punchline, rinse & repeat.

[@trackdown2296]

I see only enlightenment after this catharsis. God bless America, God bless England, God bless Ali and Will!

[@KaylaFPrice]

That “don’t you worry” song so poignantly sums up England for me. It’s beautiful yet tragically absurd and it haunts my nightmares.
