The Last Fast Show Ever - Archery Jazz Club

[@1DCCX]

Paul Whitehouse banging the drum with his elbow on mambo Jambo cracks me up I don’t know why

[@Wally-H]

The great Latin percussionist Candido used to do a party-piece solo where he used his elbows and his chin to play the congas. I've little doubt that's where Paul got the idea from.

one of the few pieces on here that actually sounds quite tuneful. He does something similar in one of the earlier sketches but it far more obvious

[@groovedealerfeaturing-ashl6476]

Same here, i think it's the expression on his face too, never fails to put a smile on my face. Pretty decent impression of The Buena Vista Social Club too !

[@travelbugse2829]

"Because we're an archery club from Boxwell Heath." That's a killer!

[@VeliAntti]

Trivia time: The Finnish song John Thomson mentions is an actual song called "Vanhoja poikia viiksekkäitä" (=moustached old bachelors) by a prolific Finnish songwriter, Juha Vainio. The song tells a sad tale about an old man and a seal, both bachelors who have lost their loved ones and are the last of their kind. Also this skit is nice.

​@@Wally-H Great 👍

[@kelzuya]

I love the black dude in the back that can't hold it togther

[@itookallthenames]

The other fellows keeping a straight face made it even funnier

[@peterburke3944]

imagine if the archery club appeared on jools holland hootenanny or later with jools holland or the top of the pops xmas specials and fired arrows at the acts on those shows

[@rogerbeattie2263]

Would be good for a laugh but as Jools Holland has no sense of humour it won't happen

[@andylea1988]

Does anyone else love the final band before they all get shot to death by arrows? :P

[@ZuluRomeo]

I love how the guitarist just keeps going at the end

[@Guitar387]

Don't stock your finger in the sister Mr 😂😂😂👍👍

[@hotrolll9228]

What a sacrilege - this was an amazing piece of music.

[@Wally-H]

If you like this type of music, try listening to some Snowboy and the Latin Section.

[@itookallthenames]

This jazz club could have gone on forever

[@machaggis_]

It's the details that put the cherry on the cake. The contrabass player hiding behind his instrument and the guitar player that just doesn't give a fuck.

[@Soliy87]

"They come all the way from bloody cuba"

[@AnimeNewsRadio101]

🥹 best joke line ever. 🥹

[@ZuluRomeo]

"I hate archers, THE Archers, and Jeffrey Archer."

[@mikebarratt8146]

Agreed on archers and Jeffrey Archer, although The Archers to be fair are a mixed bag

[@Warriors_and_Wanderers]

Classic queen!

[@ProjectFlashlight612]

Lynn, I'm not driving a Mini Metro

[@pho3nix-]

Jesus, that last "Cuban" band cracked me up

[@blinkboy2008]

mumbooooo, mumbo jumbooo.. LOL!!

[@twitchygiraffe4636]

This character jazz man louie has to have been based not just on whispering bob harris but the guy who introduces the bands that come on in the manchester jazz festival pavilion tent who's called steve mead! Me thinks that john thomson frequented this festival more than once and it amused him no end! I just feel sorry for poor steve mead, i bet he was ripped into mercilessly during the festivals late 90's period!!!!

[@Patralgan]

Niiiiiice

[@stephenholmes1036]

Trevor Worthington was infact Charlie Armstrong of Pennington avenue, ormskirk

[@tmb8807]

I actually rather liked what that ‘Cuban’ band were playing 😂

[@hotrolll9228]

I love everything the fast show did. However, I have never been able to find out who actually played the stuff on Jazz Club. When this kicks into the trombone solo it is brilliant! I would like to know who played it so I could hear more!

[@Wally-H]

That is a good point. I'm an acid jazz fan and I've seen quite a lot of the top musicians who knock around in London's clubs but I don't honestly recognise any of these guys. I would presume they were hired session musicians.

[@EvilMutantFly]

niiiice.

[@sanjayjani8099]

Embarrrgo!!!

[@christopherdean1326]

I would lay money on that being Mark Williams' archery club! They all look like they know what they're doing with those bows, and as a five times county champion, I think I would notice if they didn't.

[@CurvedSlightly]

Funniest shit, EVER.

This is the funniest one I think.

[@davyarthurs]

If he coughed like that now, the stage would have cleared - CovidZ

[@juveale29]

Watch out for King Charles the 7th on tenor sax!

[@nutsterm743]

Wouldn't be allowed to do the Cuban band in that form now...

[@ErosVixen88]

Brother...LOL

[@robwilliams6753]

4:46 though. the squeak.

[@StewartNicolasBILLYCONNOLLY]

I have been trying to find out who was actually playing on the Jazz Club tracks.... How fucking sad is that? They were very good but...WTF???

[@ElaborateTiger]

Did you ever find out?

[@henryclaude5483]

I played with the drummer in the cuban band the other day! his name is Stickman

[@samooskhka]

Stewart Nicol as BILLY CONNOLLY Very fucking sad! Twit

[@Patralgan]

Pardon my Finnish but wtf? Vanhoja poikia viiksekkäitä? :DDD

[@ElaborateTiger]

I love the fake Spanish.

[@ollyinfinland7511]

Big up Finnish jazz 😂

[@simonh6371]

Arrows are deceitful. I hate archers, the Archers, and Geoffrey Archer - they're all deceitful cowards. Although to be fair, the Archers are a mixed bunch.

[@FlyingSpaghettiMonster2000]

A ha!

[@listerofsmeg884]

This is: T'Pau!

[@ZuluRomeo]

(cough)

[@colin5577]

Are we still allowed to laugh about this or is it racist cultural appropriation? I've missed a few memos. I'll just laugh in the meantime.

[@StewFisher]

laugh at whatever you think is funny. if someone else doesnt find it funny its their problem not yous.

[@kurtvanderbogarde8402]

The presenter character is the butt of the joke - the musicians are mostly meant to be straight-guy characters booked to to play the TV show of a smug muso..
