🚽🤣 Not the Nine O’Clock News – The Infamous “Toilets” Sketch! ✍️ One of the sharpest comedy shows of the early 80s, Not the Nine O’Clock News (BBC2, 1979–1982) mixed satire, surreal humour, and sketch comedy that pushed boundaries. This “Toilets” sketch is a perfect example: a simple setup, Rowan Atkinson’s straight-faced delivery, and clever wordplay that spirals into absurdity. With a cast including Atkinson, Mel Smith, Griff Rhys Jones, and Pamela Stephenson, the show helped redefine Britis

🇬🇧 Another Classic Not the Nine O’Clock News Skit 🇬🇧 Sharp, surreal, and brilliantly uncomfortable — this is classic British satire at its peak 😅 Not the Nine O’Clock News aired on BBC from 1979 to 1982 and completely rewrote the rules of TV comedy. It mixed absurd sketches with biting satire, wordplay, and deliberate nonsense — often pushing right up to the edge of what was acceptable at the time.

👞🤣 Not the Nine O’Clock News – The One-Legged Shoplifters Sometimes satire hits its stride by going absurd — and that’s exactly what happens in this sketch. Two men with one leg each attempt to “shoplift” shoes in the most ridiculous way possible. Airing on BBC2 between 1979–1982, Not the Nine O’Clock News was razor-sharp, surreal, and often outrageous. With Rowan Atkinson, Mel Smith, Griff Rhys Jones, and Pamela Stephenson, the show became a launchpad for some of Britain’s greatest comedy tal

Old Fashioned Humor on Instagram: "😂 Credit: Not the Nine O'Clock News 🎥 Interesting Fact: In Not the Nine O’Clock News’s Professor and Gerald sketch, the joke was built around letting Gerald increasingly take control of the interview himself. According to production recollections, the timing was carefully written so Gerald’s interruptions sounded polite and reasoned at first, gradually undermining the professor’s authority without ever raising his voice. Much of the humour came from treating

Old Fashioned Humor on Instagram: "😂 Credit: Not the Nine O'Clock News 🎥 Interesting Fact: In Not the Nine O’Clock News’s talking to the plants sketch, the comedy hinges on the lightning-fast switch from explosive frustration to calm normality.

Old Style Humour on Instagram: "😂 Credit: Not the Nine O'Clock News 🎥 Interesting Fact: In Not the Nine O’Clock News’s Pizza sketch, the comedy relies entirely on precision timing rather than clever wording. According to production recollections, the sneeze had to land a fraction of a second before the completely straight-faced mention of “extra mozzarella,” with no pause for reaction. The humour only worked because the performer carried on as though nothing at all had happened, forcing the au
