I feel like I should be wearing a monocle and a top hat while watching these....probably then I'll get whats funny about them. Silly Brits.

Dont be jealous of our refined sense of humour

Perhaps if it contained some fart jokes it may be more to the liking of you folks across the pond.

Good day to you madame!

I can't imagine not finding those funny.

-a guy doing a dead-on impression of Russell Crowe in Gladiator (funny in itself IMO)
-the discipline of this guy (John Culshaw I think) to be able to do this, possibly improv his answers and not laugh when the plumber laughs
-great use of names and pieces of dialogue from Gladiator
-him saying certain things in the voice of Maximus Decimus Meridius that you just can't imagine would be said by Maximus Decimus Meridius
"and the emm triumphal arch, there isn't any kind of triumphal arch there...so emm..we might put one in"
-the very scenario of Maximus talking to a builder and a plumber about a site development - in a film every line is written to have dramatic power or at least to take the story somewhere, but this is an 'offscreen' everyday bit of conversation involving this very serious, dramatic character

I dunno, I just find it very impressive when people can mimic others so precisely.

That is nothing short of brilliant.

Needs more farts.
