Maybe This Only Amuses Me - The League of Gentlemen Clip

Filed Under Maybe This Only Amuses Me


The League Of Gentlemen - Hello Dave

Lately, I have been immersed in the absolutely brilliant British comedy The League of Gentlemen. Part Simpsons, part sketch comedy and entirely subversive, black and bizarre - this show is mandatory viewing for comedy weirdos.

This skit stars Papa Lazarou, an insane circus ringleader who steals women and forces them into his twisted harem. I can understand if this concept isn’t for everyone but it’s like catnip laced with crack for us weirdos.

    it is revealed later that he turns them into his circus animals. i don’t get it but then again with this show you don’t want to ask questions.

    have you seen this character’s role in the third series yet?

    i absolutely love how he is portrayed in a sort of doctor jekyl/ mr. hyde -type of way. if you seen it you will know what i’m talking about.

    one of the best shows ever and im glad you got into it…FINALLY….don’t forget the poster.

    I’m still on the second series so I haven’t seen any of that stuff yet.

    But I look forward to it.

    I’m only watching it because of you - so thank you very much!

    you’ll like the third series only because its radically different from the first two. you will see what i mean.

    and i didnt mean it like that. i always figured that out of anyone else i knew you would enjoy it as much as i did. alot of people don’t like it though.
