The Sketch Show UK - Phobias Workshop

This is the UK version (2001-2003).
All five actors are in a phobias workshop, phobias include a fear of the word "Aagh!", a fear of apologies, a fear of repetition, and awkward silences. Performed by Lee Mack, Jim Tavare, Tim Vine, Karen Taylor and Ronni Ancona.

[@jenniferkelly5897]

My ex had a fear of apologies too.

[@yorickhunt3371]

Yeah, so did mine - she never apologised once for being a slut :-\

[@damn-man3774]

Yorick Hunt DAMN

[@neekzsvlio7670]

I'm 'sorry' to hear that

[@mariosumilang7556]

I’m terribly sorry 😏

[@Arlothed1no]

So did my ex friend. Except when I was the one giving them

[@SaRah-21532]

Can you imagine the mess of trying to rehearse this sketch? 😂 I bet screaming at the exact right time takes a lot more skill than you'd think.

[@asdbanz316]

They have specific order so actor needs to focus on certain condition ignoring other factors

[@tracer740]

They weren't rehearsing, this was for real.

[@beachbum4691]

@@tracer740 if this sketch had been played by British parliamentarians I would find it hard to disagree with you, but it's played by actors and that's that. (So it's marginal). ;)

... just kidding of course

Shouldn't this carry on forever? Lee = fear of aagh! Karen = fear of repetition.

[@davecarbonell]

Perhaps the funniest sketch about therapy I've ever seen!

[@gribwitch]

I haven't laughed this hard since they legalised same-sex "marriage".

[@chloe-dr4rk]

Graham Taylor was that needed tho?

[@gribwitch]

@@chloe-dr4rk "...was that needed tho..."? Absolutely it was. Same-sex "marriage" is an offensive counterfeit of true biblically based marriage. God intended marriage to be between one man and one woman ONLY. That's how He designed it to be. Any other variation is a perversion of that design. Consequently I will not recognise or respect something that offends and grieves God.

[@chloe-dr4rk]

Graham Taylor ohhhh so you’re one of thooooose kind of people. never mind. but also, i should probably tell you the bible was translated from latin and nowhere does it actually say “homosexual” in the original text, it actually said sexually immoral. another side note, i’m sure you don’t follow everything in the bible word for word or you’d have slaves. your religion and belief in it is valid but it’s as much a fact as every other religion and there’s just as much proof. and what i meant was was that needed, literally no one was talking about it but you just wanted to talk about how much you hate gays and use your religion as a defence. there is no proof at all that it offends and grieves god so just don’t be gay yourself and allow others to live their life without judgement especially when it’s something they cannot physically change

[@billywhizz09]

Jesus says love everyone and you can love who you want to love and he can says you can marry anyone you want

[@stefanholbek2449]

+Donna Derby British humour ... either you like it or you don't ... The subtlety and level of intelligence exceeds just about every other kind of humour I know ... I'm Danish, so we are not too far from this ... but in general I find this kind of entertainment as belonging to the "first floor" ... whereas i.e. American sense of humour (humor) is about "something happening" in the physical world ... Can be funny too ... absolutely! (Just for laugh gags ... Candid camera ... though a Canadian team ... will make you roll on the floor!) But the added "IQ-factor" in British humour is really som'din' of it's own! ;O)

[@Rainmanthereal]

Typical British humour at its finest! Saturday night live tried hard to top that kind of comedy!

Shouldn’t the repetition girl scream everytime he reintroduced everyone

[@missunknown1113]

[@zatador9783]

Here from Tik Tok aswell. This kind of humor is so good. Simple, yet extremely effective 😂

[@kevboard]

it's so weird finding these clips on KZbin. this show was re-recorded in many different countries by local comedians. like in the US, Canada, Sweden I think... and Germany. and as a kid I saw the German version of all of them. so after finding this, I slowly noticed that all these sketches seemed super familiar to me. and only after like 3 it clicked and I remembered that there was a german version of this. the adaptations almost all simply used the exact same sketches of the original. I think the german version actually also used sketch scrips that went unused in the UK original. so yeah. so weird finding out as an adult that this show was originally british and then exported world wide with mostly the same scripts.

[@asgrey3]
