Only Me, 21 February 2007

Author: Victor Meldrew from Manchester

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Harry Enfield and Chums was brilliant. Probably the second best sketch show ever, beaten only by Q.

The show had so many brilliant characters: Kevin and Perry, the only me man, the scousers, I am considerably richer than you, OI NO, It just came off in me 'and. I don't know the names of these characters (it's that long since i've seen it). The only characters I didn't really like were The Two Old Gits and The Slobs. I found the slobs funny at first, but in the end they just got too disgusting.

Here are my top 6 Sketch Shows: 1.Q, 2.Harry Enfield and Chums, 3.Little Britain, 4.The Two Ronnies, 5.The Catherine Tate Show, 6.Goodness Gracious Me. I've always found sketch shows hit and miss. I much prefer sitcoms, but sketch shows like "The Mitchell and Webb Look" I don't find funny, although obviously is funny, it's not my cup of tea.

I found the last episode of Harry Enfield on an old video i'd taped it on and it was brilliant. All the characters go on the Titanic and all die. But at the end a rescue man says: "Is there anyone on board, is there anyone around" "Only Me". Brilliant.

fantastic, 21 November 2003
Author: ross robinson from england

Harry Enfield and chums was made in 1994, i liked this one totally better than harry Enfield's tv programme that was made in 1990. This one i think was better because it had allsorts of characters such as Harry and Lulu. i give this one 10 out of 10.

Harry Enfield and Chums, 10 May 2005

Author: Jackson Booth-Millard from United Kingdom

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

I can't really remember seeing the normal show, but I saw the Yule Log Christmas Special which was brilliant. BAFTA nominated Harry Enfield is one of the greatest sketch show people I know, and along with Paul Whitehouse (The Fast Show) and BAFTA nominated Kathy Burke it is a really good show. I can't really say much about the show, so I'll say about the Christmas one. The characters that really stuck out for me were: Kevin and Perry the Teenagers (I've seen them on special video, Kevin's Guide to Being a Teenager); Frank and George (who used to be in the Hula Hoops adverts); The Rich Guy ("I am considerably richer than you!"); Honest John; Michael Paine and many other weird and wonderful people. One of the funniest sketches of the Christmas Special for me was the Telecocknies (a spoof of Teletubbies). It was nominated the BAFTA for Best Light Entertainment (Programme or Series). Kevin the Teenager was number 15 on The 100 Greatest TV Characters, Waynetta Slob was number 37 on The World's Greatest Comedy Characters, The Christmas Special was number 34 on The 100 Greatest Christmas Moments, and The Slobs - Brown Baby was number 11 on The 50 Greatest Comedy Sketches. Very good!

1994 series - mostly great. 1997 series - mostly trash., 20 June 1999
Author: G.Spider

Most of the 1994 series is just as good as the previous two Harry Enfield's TV Program series but it starts off very badly. Who exactly is warped enough to think that jokes about mental retards, not to mention tinnitus, are in the slightest bit funny? They just come across as malicious. Why these sketches were included in the video of the series is a mystery. And the two characters talking in that pub do no more than shout about celebrities in rather infantile name-calling torrents of abuse.

However, the 1994 series thankfully picks up. The send-ups of 40's documentaries are as hilarious as ever, Mr Don't and the Old G*ts are at their best and there are also some inventive new characters - Kevin the teenager, the randy old ladies etc.

The fourth series (first shown in 1997) is just a waste of time. Though it has its moments, it just seems filled with unfunny sketches about gays, northerners and the like. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who found that dated stereotypical German to be nothing but offensive. The 'Mr Dead' sketches are okay and there are some humorous send-ups of 40's adverts, documentaries etc, but most of it's just tired and the humor is mostly forced.

he invented the teletubbies, 14 August 2003
Author: tobiinit from ENGLAND

He did aswell. He aslo made some of the funniest catchphrases ever. e.g. "Only me", "I am smokin a fag" and thouroughly bloody nice bloke". He used to be hilarious but now he doesnt cut it. classic comedy sktches, some of the best ive seen. 3/5
