Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted April 17, 2017 Awards Moderator Share Posted April 17, 2017 I was watching Father Ted last night and despite having seen the episode dozens of times, the ‘fuckinell’ in the Chris the Sheep episode made me laugh like an idiot all over again. The timing of it, on both occasions, is just perfect: And despite it becoming GIFd into oblivion in recent years, the Partridge Shrug will never not be brilliant: So on a slow Bank Holiday Monday, let’s see some other instances of perfect comedy timing in films and telly.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2017 Well, focusing on something you yourself watched last night, Frankie, how about this from Blazing Saddles. Three instances of it here, one of my favourite comedy scenes of all time:- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted April 17, 2017 Awards Moderator Share Posted April 17, 2017 I've had a Star Wars bank holiday, and it's easy to forget just how brilliant Harrison Ford's delivery of "who's scruffy looking?" is. I will stick up for Fawlty Towers everywhere, but rather than the obvious this scene, especially the description of the view, is exceptional comedy where both characters are captured in the script and performance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted April 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2017 Another Harrison Ford effort. Absolutely on point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 The utter genius of John Cazale, part 3765. Ad libbed as well, just perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it fact or bollocks that they had a big dramatic scene planned and went with this as Ford had the shits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted April 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2017 Can't believe the timing of this thread. I watched that same episode of Father Ted last night too and had also pissed myself at the 'Fucking hell' bit, so much so that I had to rewind it and watch it twice. It is indeed, just perfect.

Yep, totally broke the rule of three with that one, it's off screen too and that adds to it. Good shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
