The Goodies/Funny: Difference between revisions

* [http://www.snopes.com/horrors/freakish/laughing.asp Somebody died of laughter] watching the episode "Kung Fu Kapers", [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3sG-J3AuhM&feature=related this scene specifically].

* ''How To Make Babies By Doing Dirty Things''. All of it.

* "Radio Goodies", after Graeme goes absolutely looney. Seeing [[The Smart Guy]] slash [[Deadpan Snarker]] suit up in an [[Eyepatch of Power]] and [[Evil Overlord]] outfit, treat Tim and Bill as his henchmen, and crazily hiss about pirate post offices and towing Great Britain off to the equator is far more hilarious than it sounds. Or should be, for that matter.

** After the [[Eyepatch of Power]], it all goes uphill. But the cream has to be when he's trying to tow away Great Britain in a rowing boat ([[It Makes Sense in Context]], uh, sort of):

'''Graeme:''' ''[jumping up and down] I'M NOT, I'M NOT, I'M NOT!'' }}

** Then the boat starts sinking...

'''Bill:''' No he bloody wouldn't! }}

** After Graeme's futile efforts to stop the boat sinking, he goes down dramatically... only to pop up a moment later and splutter "I've changed my mind!"

** The bit where Graeme and the others have a fight. One of them recites the Radio Goodies jingle and Graeme, as he's storming out, ''turns back and completes it'' before leaving.

** The first signs that show Graeme's gone a bit loopy.

'''Graeme:''' Parcel post! ''(mimes putting a parcel in a pouch, skipping over to Tim and Bill)'' }}

** The mobile post boxes.

** According to Bill Oddie, "He had to be carted off, with blood and teeth all over the place... that's the sort of thing that made us laugh."

* Their rendition of the song ''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?''

'''Graeme:''' ''I do... [[Ret Conned|DON'T!]]'' }}

:: It really shouldn't be that funny. It's an out-of-the-blue musical number, for Pete's sakes. But it is.

* "Saturday Night Grease". Graeme dressed as Olivia Newton-John will NEVER not be funny.

* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbgm50iZEao&feature=related Echo Scene] From "The Goodies and the Beanstalk".

** ''"[[Narm|Gets right to the dirt of the waaa-aaaaaash]]... [[Crosses the Line Twice|hey, kitten, those undies you're wearing are looking grey...]]"'' Given the formula for the proceedings, [[Scenery Censor|you can see where]] [[Innocent Fanservice Girl|this is]] [[Naked People Are Funny|going.]]

{{spoiler|'''Tim ([[All Men Are Perverts|After giving her a look]]):''' ''{{[[[Camp Gay]] Camply}}]'' ''I'm going to wash these clothes.''}} }}

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUrjpaIfxaI The Captain Fishface advert] from "It Might as Well Be String".

** As well as the final act of the episode, in which Tim goes after "string magnates" Graeme and Bill in a bid to denounce the evils of string and gets caught on the wrong end of a series of parody ads. Although most of today's audiences will not recognise many of the adverts being parodied, it represents one of their better extended fast-paced slapstick sequences, culminating in an overflowing washing machine flooding the entire studio building with soap suds, which then cover the screen... until they are wiped away by the three Goodies, who then sit back with cups of tea and pass comment on the closing credits (which are being displayed in mirror image as though the audience is inside the television looking out).

* The climax of "The Movies". The three rival films - Tim's Roman epic, Graeme's western, and Bill's silent comedy - all cross over until the proceedings fall into utter chaos... and utter hilarity.

* Numerous scenes from "The Goodies Rule - OK?", but special mention should go to the final act ''battle royale'' between the Goodies and the (literal) puppet government, climaxing with the trio being chased by a giant [[The Magic Roundabout|Dougal and Zebedee]], the latter bouncing fifty feet into the air and booming '''"TIME FOR BED!!"''' as a battle cry.

* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmgtOm5079Y "Sing a Song of Flowers" sequence] from "Hype Pressure". As with several other ''Goodies'' episodes, the cultural references have faded from the memory (the programme on which Bill and Graeme are performing (''Superficial'') is a parody of 1970s pop showcase ''Supersonic'', and Tim is channelling its director, Mike Mansfield), but the chaos that ensues as Tim cues more and more special effects (beginning with showers of petals and building up to land mines) until Bill and Graeme are forced to flee for their lives is ageless and hilarious.
