Cultural references the ‘young uns’ don’t get

[Peculiar23]

Called someone at work ‘Victor Meldruw’ and got looked at blankly. God, I’m old
Anyone else ??!!!

Thats your mum that is

‘Can you hear me mother?’

Unless you’re of my vintage (or listen to very old radio shows) there may be very few on here who will ‘get’ that one

edited to add another one: Wakey, wakey!

I was pissing by the door...

Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once

Hi de hi!

That cow is small, that cow is far away.

If discussing my cooking "there's cocaine in it"

Any Tom Dick or Harry when used in a derogatory sense. Ive been looked at blankly when using this. The phrase seems to have been replaced by "random person".

Were you pissing by my door??

I saw them live a few years ago and noticed the guy next to me, dancing like mad, was only about 20. I asked him how he knew who they were and he said his mum playing their music in the car over the years. I loved that so much!

Oh god! 😂

What is this from, please?

Also "I'm Free" from the same programme.

‘Left, right and Chelsea’

’New Shoooes’ Clarkes shoes ad

’I’m aving a faag’

I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.

My nieces boyfriend’s surname is McGuire.

I quite often say “alright, Dougal?” or “nice to see you, Father”

He used to just smile along for a year or so. Admitted recently he has no idea why I say it and has never heard of Father Dougal McGuire.

Blackadder’s response to Baldrick’s “poem”. Boom, boom, boom boom

Is it so cunning that you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel ?

As any fule kno

Oh yes, anytime I’m trying to entice DP or kids into trying something I’ll resort to “there’s cocaine in it….” with a beguiling smile.

Friend asked what the hell i was talking about a while ago. Not even young, she’s 50.

Oh! And speaking of “not even young, she’s 50”, if we ever meet anybody called Jill, my partner and I will sigh “Ah…the lovely Jill”.

Likewise any mention of Benjamin Netanyahu, “stop going on about Benjamin Netanyahu, let it go Lynne, you’re never going to meet him!”

I'm free!
What did Horace say?
Don't call Will on your father!

If you want a whole world of old and obscure cultural references, I'd recommend perusing the full discography of Half Man Half Biscuit. John Peel called them "a national treasure".

Sandy Powell and Billy Cotton. I'm 68 and remember them both. Also my parents had me late in life and were born in 1915 and 1919 respectively, so I was brought up with a lot of cultural references and show bizz names that go back nearly 100 years.

"Get him to a hospital!"
"What is it?"
"It's a big building with lots of windows"

You go on more holidays then Judith Chalmers!
also watching an adventurous squirrel… bet they drink carling black label

Is this some kind of bust?
Well, it's certainly impressive.

Jimmy Hill!

Daddy or chips.

I do this!!
