The Sketch Show California Dreaming Mamas and Papas

A clip from the BAFTA winning series the Sketch Show when the backing people get a little bit confused with the lyrics

[@folioio]

My best friend is a high school teacher. He sent this as an example: "This is what it's like teaching freshmen" 😳🙂

[@SakuraMoonflower]

A bunch of jokers lol

[@leylabush1034]

As a freshman I can confirm this as an accurate depiction 😅

[@gladtobeangry]

I work in foreign affairs, and I can assure you, it's not different with senior civil servants.

[@gwyd]

Lmao those emojis are like the worst possible choices for what you just said and it’s cracking me up 😅

[@TheJaguar1983]

I cannot hear this song anymore without thinking of this sketch

[@AllisonSemmes111]

I last saw this show around ten years ago and now I rewatch it....best sketch ever

[@suzieb8366]

2022 now and cant believe how young they all look... a great sketch with great comedians who still make me laugh to this day.

[@oz_jones]

It's weird how time works, innit?

[@TayWoode]

@@oz_joneshaha it’s like when people watch old film reels from 1903 and say “I feel so sad, it’s so weird to think these people are now dead” No, it would be weird if the 60yr olds you saw in the film were still alive

[@Mischief157]

2:11 lee's thumbs up and wink at ronni and her grin and thumbs up back is so sweet 🥰...then it's ruined when they mess up again 😂

[@Camilla-kx3xw]

my dad showed me this when i was a little kid and didn’t understand english yet, so he had to explain what was happening haha, i still found it funny tho. now maybe about 8 years later, i still can’t hear the song without thinking about this sketch

[@ashlynnmartinez1166]

From TikTok because this is a meme right now.

[@ahrband]

I see a lot of people claim that the Tiktok videos are using the Mama and Papa's version but the sample is clearly from this!

[@Heatherjc13]

There's an ad on tv at present with this music and I can't stop laughing thinking about this sketch. I just have to think about it and I always laugh out loud.

[@PhantomFilmAustralia]

If it was the Beacon Furniture commercial, I laugh out loud at it too.

[@salesy67]

Id love to hear them do a serious version it would sound awesome

[@lemmi1968]

one of the best sketches ever!!!

[@Nina-rj4nu]

[@SakuraMoonflower]

@@SpicyCham Directions unclear, started singing "That Thing" after every line you sang. Give better directions, explain better. XD

Alguém pela garota do rivotrill?

[@ozzybloke-craig3690]

I remember seeing this episode on tv in Australia in the 90’s when it aired. I have seen the German version and it is just as funny if not even funnier.

[@itsjemmabond]

Hang on - aren't they supposed to be facing the producers behind the glass?

[@JoojieXD]

itsjemmabond Why?

[@itsjemmabond]

So they can communicate with them. Yes, I know the singers can hear them through the headphones, but sometimes it's better if they send hand signals.

[@JoojieXD]

I suppose for the purpose of the act they spun them around.
