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 ??!!!

Evenin' all.

@Fernticket I was just going to post 'The Singing Ringing Tree' when I saw yours! Weirdest programme ever!

@SnowflakeSmasher86

“I’ve got the key” when leaving the house/hotel room. Always followed by “I’ve got the secret” but my DCs have no idea why.

I don't know that one.
DH, DDs and I always do the "Friends" "Got the key??"/"Got the key!!" thing when locking up to leave the house/hotel room.
We follow that with Chandler's "Does anyone have the key?".

Monkey is on Netflix, or Prime. I spotted it a while ago, but didn't watch.

It wasn’t the new version was it ? They did a remake that was Australian and bloody awful

Oh...

It's the original '79 series on Prime.

Enjoying this thread- my kids age 16 and 19 know about Duran Duran, Fawlty Towers and Blackadder etc
DH and I if talking about books, say "I read a book once, green it was" (said by a character in Porridge to the disbelief of Norman Stanley Fletcher).

Nanu Nanu

Calllllm dowwwwn!

Hallo everypeeps!

Mr Grimsdaaaaale!

Late 80s I'll have an E please Bob 👀✨✨

I loved Blockbusters.

Get down Shep!

Brahms' Third Racket...

I loved Es😁

Yes. I don’t think Harry Enfield was taking the piss out of Scousers in general but rather Brookside in particular. Yosser Hughes and the other boys from the black stuff were also created by a Scouser.

I still think of Prof Brian cox as the bloke from D-ream

Haven’t kept up with thread but also, when turning in for the night, if someone else is staying downstairs:
Goodnight Vienna (Rising Damp) or
I‘m going up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire

If your mansion house needs haunting, just call Rentaghost
Gadzooks
I’ll have a P please, Bob
See what you could’ve won

Yosser Hughes and the other boys from the black stuff were also created by a Scouser.

And it was seen at the time as a commentary on unemployment, not as stereotyping Scousers as workshy scroungers.

As cunning as a fox who graduated from the University of Cunning...

I'm 39 for reference, so not that old!

As a proud Scouser, I do have to mention some more negative examples - Harry Enfield’s “Calm down, calm down” and “Eh, eh, eh, eh!” and the Yosser Hughes “Gis a job”
These popularised (mis)characterisations that the people from Liverpool are largely unemployed (the implication being they are simply job shy generational abusers of the benefits system and/or thieving scallies constantly on the scrounge), as well as aggressive, loud, gobby, overly sensitive, inarticulate cadgers

Blimey, you’ve totally misinterpreted the Yosser Hughes character and the whole point of the programme. If others interpreted it like that, that’s on them. It wasn’t the intention of the author.

No, definitely Juke Box Jury, Janice Nichols from Birmingham and it was 'Oi'll give it foive'.
