"Wait Until After The Meal!" 😂😂😂😂

Oh god, I'm cracking up at this clip even though I've seen it so many times. Superb!

[cloudstrife]

You're getting my dander up, you grotty little man!

[x.x.]

"What the eye don´t see the chef get´s away with"

Thank´s for this inspiration. I will try it with our family.

That Angry Posh Twat always cracks me up! Lol I know he had every right to get pissy cos Manuel was checking out his FIANCÉE'S LEGS but if it weren't for the fact that the Health Inspector happen to be sitting opposite him, I like to think Basil would have thrown a Cream Pie in his face or something.

We have a bread box. For any bread that's gone past it's prime...

It's all there. There there there there and there

- It should say "eel"
- Eel escalope?
🤣🤣

[iblitz]

This joke, the one at 1:56, has stuck with me more than any other. Anytime veal is brought up, in any way, shape, or form, I interject; that’s a misprint.
It should say… um… _eel._

[JohnSmith-zqmo]

The couple is cute and ridiculous at the same time.

[crimsondeath]

that guy with the fiancee sounds like the jugde in Futurama

[alexmarquis]

So that’s paté and one Windsor SOOOUUPPP !!!

[batmanrocks]

That's funny do you mind!
The waiter seemed more interested in my fiance legs
Than basil really may I? That part always makes me laugh

[JongleurJ]

Can't Basil and Co just have one smooth successful interaction with anyone??? Always things go awry

[mq]

The obvious solution would have been to just leave the rat in the lady's bag and let them leave.

[gungagalunga]

That's some accenthe has. Sounds like a Millwall fan.

[felixcuthbert]

Basil: *Addressing the health inspector* Is your Veal um..

Polly: *Whipsering* In Her bag

Basil: in her bag?

Me: Ewwww! Mr. carney is old enough to be her dads age.

[am]

Could somebody tell me which English region the man's accent is from?

[Raider]

The posh male (couple) I remember acting pretty much the same on an episode of George and Mildred.

Cant blame manuel to be honest for being interested in the woman's legs to be honest. Nicely shaped ones too
