@@Shelldamage I totally agree with you. Mel was a natural comédian. I also thank God for the existance of youtube. And also: R.I.P Mel, now you can make people laugh in heaven.

Blimey! I remember howling with laughter at this as a teenager and I've just done so all over again. What a sick classic! When the lid comes up on his foot...

Or when he finds himself with the wrong dentures in his mouth...

As a funeral director, I've always considered that, if this happened, it'd be my worst nightmare! Thankfully it hasn't happened.. Yet! Hillarious though as it is!

RIP Mel, your contribution to comedy will always be remembered, sure your funeral will not be a sad one, but just good memories of moments like these, sure this sketch will be running through the minds of all that attend....

RIP Mel. You made me very happy when you were acting. So sad you have passed. Your legacy will remain.

RIP Mel Smith. If your funeral is anything like this, I know you'll be having a chuckle. Thanks for the laughs

He lived a full, not very healthy life. It was his choice but he left British comedy deeply mourning.

No one funnier than Mel and Gryff. Amazing chemistry. I'm so glad we can still enjoy Mels work. It never gets old.

The more you watch this sketch, the more you see. Brilliant.

My brother's priest was conducting a funeral and fell in. Cracked 3 ribs. Sending this to my brother.

Best sketch ever written.

Possibly one of the funniest things I have ever seen

Same here. Watched it hundreds of times and still laugh my head off

No matter how many times I watch this it always cracks me up.

MEL, YOU WILL BE VERY SADLY MISSED. RIP Mel Smith 1953-2013

I love these two. Used to watch them growing up. Classic visual comedy :😊

RIP Mel, thanks for all the laughs and smiles. :)

It is criminal that there was abosulutaly no showing of this series here in my town. I never heard nor saw any of it during the '90s.

One of the greatest sketches of all time!

Saw this on a flight to Menorca in May 1995, aged seven. Nice to see it again.

A great tribute to a damn funny fellow. Thanks for putting this on.R.I.P. Mel.

Remember first time I saw this. I’ve never laughed so hard at any other comedy show. Absolutely brilliant. Fucking hilarious.

Could we all send up a prayer for him, help light his way? _/\_

i could only watch so much, as was laughing so much my back was cramping up

Wow! I forgot about Mel Smith. I was living overseas when "Morons From Outer Space" came out and I adored him as a kid.

His foot in the lid is absolute class 😅

I'll always remember their sketches from when I was a kid. Classic stuff.

R.I.P. Mel. Bless You

Hilarious but it reminds me of a true burial. A colleague and friend of mine had lost her mother a few months after her father and she was, understandably, devastated. It was pouring and the plot looked like a badly kept construction site, we had to walk on planks ; when she wanted to throw a flower in the open grave she got stuck half-calf in the mud and we had to drag her back to safety.

Sad loss, comic genius RIP mate

This sketch was written by Paul Merton and his friend/writing partner John Irwin.

Johnny Vegas' favourite sketch!

RIP Mel.

Just saw this recreated by Johnny Vegas and Sally Phillips on My Favourite Sketch. They did a nice job. :)

thanks for the laughs

Mel Smith i miss you

This is hilarious!

SOOO HILARIOUS!!!

rip mate

Best comedy comes from serious situations, not laughed so much since I saw Dick Emery do a sketch, racing a hurse down a motorway with a coffin in the back. The rear door flung open the coffin slid out, and bounced down the road. Think I will look see if it's on you tube.

R.I.P Mel the world will same less funny without you

Rip Mel Smith.

Much missed.

A very funny & lovely bloke. Good luck for the next bit mate _/\_

I remember years back some DJ on radio 1 talking an album called 'Honey Lingers' and he goes.. that's a strange title, Ohh dear I just got it he say embarrassed lol not really related but just reminded me. Sad when I heard big Mel had died last week

No one else bats an eye. Lol

Trivia note, this sketch was written by Paul Merton.

English Country Garden, I'm desperate to find that, have never forgotten it since seeing it in my youth all those years ago, if you find it let me know !!

A classic

It's like a Frank Spencer sketch.

There was one sketch where smith and jones were talking about how a cup of tea could make u feel better and then they started exagerating really bad lol. They started saying how it cured the flu and got rif of diseases and even made limbs grow back lol. It was one of the best sketches of all time but I bet I will never find it! Anyone looking for another top 5 clip of all time type in bitka and hale and pace! its not the english version but u can see exactly whats going on lol!

A great loss to British comedy. RIP

Wicked!!

Enjoyed Sally Phillips and Johnny Vegas re-creating this for My Favourite Sketch (Gold) but never as good as the original.

Paul Merton and John Irwin Wrote this Sketch.

Mel Smith was so funny

How foolish can you be to grab the dead guy's teeth and not yours?

I search for a Smith & Jones sketch within they sit in front of the camera (thea are watching the TV set) and ate everithing there (first the popcorn and then flowers, tie ect.) because it is preoccupy them in 100%. After all (when the show is off in the tv-set) they back out and say: "It vas very boring". Would you send me this clip? Gza

funny shizzle

Hahahaha 😂😂
