  1. This is the best linguistics lesson I've ever seen. Unorthodox, but very effective. "There's language and there's speaking…There's chess and there's a
    game of chess" I'm not sure that's the example De Saussure used when
    describing langue and parole hahaha. And describing creativity with a piano as an example…brilliant. I don't know why I wasted my time on Uni. This is much better. My professor would've never accepted the definition of language to be "The creak on a stair."

  2. I love this is so much that I had memorised all the dialogue and would continually repeat this sketch saying the complete dialogue along with them. I miss doing that…

  3. And yet, Oh.. and yet.. All of us spend all of our days saying the same old things to each other time after weary time".. I love you, don't go in there, get out, you have no right to say that, stop it, why should I, that hurts, help Majorie is dead"

  4. I started watching English comedy when I was about 20, this is one of the first sketches I remember watching and it's still my favourite.
    I swear one day I'll be able to understand every damn word

  5. This character is based on an actual linguist. I saw the sketch back in middle school, and then shortly after my English teacher showed us a video, and there was a guy interviewed with the same bowl haircut and affect of speech. I've been trying to figure out who is is for years.
