Funny / The Benny Hill Show

Go To

  • Once Benny and two other guys are sitting on a park bench. A gorgeous lass brimming over with physical charm shows up and takes one of the guys behind a nearby bush. They lie back, he kicks once or twice, and she leaves him. She takes the second guy, wash rinse repeat and then goes for an obviously gleeful Benny. She takes him behind the bush, lays him down, and then smiles to reveal gleaming fangs.
  • The Police Raid In Waterloo Station. All of it, in its Stylistic Suck glory.
  • This exchange, with Benny playing a young actor being interviewed and discussing his "wild life" on a talk show entitled The Grass Is Greener:
    "Mervin": After the show every night, we'd go into the Queen's Arms there. Many's the night I've downed as many as seven pints of shandy straight off.
    Interviewer: You lived life with a big "L."
    "Mervin": And sometimes I suffered pain....with a big "P."
    [Benny comes within a hair's breadth of corpsing.]
  • "Naked Lust in Sinful Sweden", a parody of early-'70s porn.
    • Bo Peep comes by Benny's cabin, looking for her sheep. He points to a darkened window, says, "Beginnin' raining. We can't go lookin' for the sheepen in the rainin'." They decide to fall into bed instead...and a sheep pokes its head in the door, revealing a clear blue sky outside. (Benny shuts the door; cue a Something Else Also Rises montage.)
    • Bo Peep's sister comes by, looking for her sister and the sheep. Again, "Beginning' raining," and they fall into bed with another Something Else Also Rises montage.
    • Bo Peep's (older and less-attractive) mother comes by, looking for her daughters and the sheep. He agrees to go look for the sheep, only for her to start with "Beginning' raining." He pulls out an umbrella. "Ya, we can lookin' for the sheepen in the rainin'."
