The greatest comedy moment ever

I think the true brilliance of this scene is because you know the chandelier's going to break, you just assume it's because their plan for catching it can't possibly work. Then it turns out to an even more spectacular failure than you thought.

A German here. There other week, I took an excursion through the Houses of Parliament, and the guide led us to the great chandelier, where she told us a funny story of how a five year-old boy once ran up to her and yelled, "Oh no, this is just like in Only Fools And Horses!" Finally, I understand what he meant.

The thing I love about Only Fools is that it takes it's time. I feel like most comedy shows have a premise, and it's littered with various little jokes. Only Fools, the premise IS the joke, or it at least leads up to a dramatic punchline. It spends the entire 30 minutes building up to the joke, and as a result, the payoffs like nothing else in comedy.

During the whole episode, you only see one Chandelier. They are talking about it as though there are more than one, but we do not know how many. The first time that you see the second Chandelier, is when it drops, and they are expecting the first one to come down. Cleaning the Chandeliers with Windolene, and Super Glue indeed, until they can afford the proper equipment.

They had one take to get this scene and only one prop chandelier which cost production a lot of money. You can tell by their faces that they were trying desperately not to laugh, and then ruin the scene...British humour at its bests, and a comedic piece that will live forever as one of the greats!!!

Wonderful. Still remember watching it "live" on TV, so to speak. Simpler times.

This is CLASSIC GOLD! THe comedies that they make nowadays is nothing and can never compare to what comedies they made. For example, Only Fools and Horses, Open All Hours, Porridge etc.

Laughing would mean losing the end scene, which would lose the episode, and subsequently, the series. The BBC would only transmit six episodes a series at the time. Also, the prop chandelier which was broken ended up costing more than the original chandelier, so they had something like five cameras recording the shatter from all angles.

+RoswelliVideos I saw that interview and I've heard that claim repeated several times. But I don't get it. Surely it's only important they do not laugh for the couple of seconds imminently before and as the chandelier is falling. As soon as it hits the ground and settles, it cuts to a close-up of the chandelier. If they messed up the dialogue at any time after the chandelier hit the floor, they could simply climb up the ladders and re-take as many times as they liked.

But if they messed up after it hit the ground, you could just retake the dialogue and join it up with the footage of the chandelier falling later.
