the fact that someone shouted "over here!" when rowan called for murderers make its even better

This is my favourite monologue ever. I actually performed his monologue in my grade 10 performing arts class and got an A+ for it... it was a Catholic high school, everyone called me Toby after that for the rest of high school. 😆

I love how he evolved this old act so perfectly and seamlessly to modern era.

[GMPranav]

The way he delivered "that's just my little joke" is such perfection haha. Way funnier the actual joke.

Rowan is one of the most funniest man in showbusiness. He doesn't have to say anything by just looking at his expressions you laugh loud!

"I am the Devil, but you can call me Toby."

*Michael Scott screaming:* "I KNEW IT!!!

I've just got back from Thailand and there's a bit of a religious controversy going on there.
One of the orange robed monks from a monastery in Bangkok claims that he saw the face of Jesus in his margarine.
When the local paper interviewed him, he said, "I can't believe it's not Buddha".

"Turns out god can't take a joke after all" xD .. We shall all remember the parrot sketch

Nobody does more with just a clipboard than Rowan Atkinson. The updates to this piece work. “The French” will be funny for all eternity, which I believe is the point.

[garybeauchamp]

This bit is priceless. I love it when he addresses "The French" and "lawyers" and I am a retired lawyer and have French genes on one side of my family. Using the name "Toby" is hilarious. Atkinson is one of the best comedic actors and overall funny person ever.

[AnnaPxx]

He's nailed extremely well the formal politeness of the British 😂😂😂

[themightysk]

As a French myself, I loved that he specifically called us out. Got to keep the centuries of conflict alive somehow ! :)

[tricia]

"Can you hear me at the rack?"😂😅 Priceless 😊

[meganthebass]

Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves

[gellertgrindelwald]

As an American, I can say I approve of this wholly and completely lmfao

[africanblue]

Besides all the jokes, I appreciate his crystal clear English. Greetings from Germany

We'll never have another Rowan Atkinson in 100+ years.

How have I never heard this monologue before? His delivery is great, judging by the other comments, he has been performing it for a while, but it still holds up well. Rowan Atkinson is the best.

I always get excited when I come across a new version of this classic routine as I can’t wait to see who else he has damned to Hell. Once, again, I wasn’t disappointed.

I like how Rowan Atkinson is holding a clipboard during this like Hell is a business. I wonder what kinda paperwork they’d have in Hell?
