Spike Milligan - Mr & Mrs AAARGH at the doctor's

More Q classics!

[@musamor75]

When comedy was funny, and simply just good fun. The good old days.

[@azapro911]

The spinning desk once the wife confirms they're National Health. 😂

[@Mortthemoose]

Yeah! That's not as funny, when you're stuck with the NHS for life, and get absolutely zero treatment! Still....it WAS a brilliant sketch 😅

[@rpaterson433]

As true today as it was then

[@joepalooka2145]

Spike----my hero, my idol. He's the greatest of them all. He's the inspiration for all the Monty Pythons and many others too. The older I get, the more I appreciate what an amazing comedic genius he was.

[@fredsenior893]

YES

[@kenmorgan2507]

Made me laugh more than any other comedian, brilliant, loved to have met him.

[@miseryguts8254]

Utterly off the trolly but pure Milligan.. i often fire-up a bit Spike Milligan zaniness when my depression is treating me pretty harshly, he always seems to help a little bit.. ta very much wherever you are kind sir!

[@lynne3124]

Try Dave Allen and Larry Grayson. It works for me.

[@lindaireland2751]

Yeah I've suffered for years with depression its horrible. Is was a great guy mad as a brush but ant we al lol

[@musamor75]

I just love your pseudo! Please don’t worry, the feeling of what is described, in Pavlovian terms, as “depression” is simply a sentiment of dissatisfaction- which in many circumstances is fully justified. How can we possibly be happy and carefree in TODAY’S world??? It’s insane (which literally means unhealthy in Latin- for those who care for words). According to the Ancients, Melancholia was a noble sentiment- reserved for only the refined spirits. Humour is the best medicine in most cases. Comedians are usually extremely intelligent and sensitive persons, who nearly all suffer from what we call “depression”. That is, if they have an iota of talent. So take heart dear soul! Spike was a unique genius, a rare pearl in British humor.

A comic genius , all my life , 65 and counting , I've collected spine millignas work , from the goons to the Q series . Creative genius , no one was safe , the all encompassing humour . No drippy apologies or cancellation, hard work and creativity . 👍🇬🇧

[@beamer.electronics]

Watching this remarkable work, I felt that today it's the reverse of this: If I manage to actually see my NHS Doctor, I get an overwhelming sense of privilege and the practice makes me feel that the NHS is super fine and dandy - when I really know it's underfunded/staffed and falling apart. Yet, if I go and have private consultation they go out of their way to make me feel it's all affordable for people like me - even though I'll actually go bankrupt for just a splinter removed!

[@richardweldon2062]

I always wondered why I loved Spike and his amazing view of life. In today's times, as a 54 year old guy, I fully understand the non conformist stick authority up your arse, surreal humour he created. Spike was a genius.

[@Deepthought-42]

0:36 Nowadays if you said “National Health” you wouldn’t get past the receptionist for three weeks and then only to see a nurse let alone a doctor.😡 Mind you with that receptionist, Spike would have taken even longer and made a good joke out of it.🤣 RIP Spike, still loved and missed.❤️

[@TheEmac70]

Stylophone!

[@slacknhash]

Looks like he came down with a nasty case of Stylophones.

[@Rhythmattica]

I agree... The only prescription I would advise is to take one Theremin ... It definitely would remove most steps , and be at least a start to a smooth transition.

God Spike is so hit and miss. A sketch like this is absolutely golden, but you've got to wade through a bunch of duffers to find it. He was certainly a genius, but I guess he really did hit a career high early with Goon Show. I've yet to hear a poor episode.

[@xr6lad]

Totally agree. I found his books and Goons extremely funny. He had a great writing style. But I also found his TV work very hit and miss. Sometimes the sketches forced or too long.
