Entertainment comedy Victoria Wood
This ‘funniest chat-up line ever’ just went wildly viral and it’s 19 seconds of genius from Victoria Wood
You won’t need a reminder of the sheer genius of the late Victoria Wood or her brilliant BBC sitcom, Dinnerladies, but we’re going to do it anyway.
It’s this 19 seconds from the BBC comedy which ran from 1998 to 2000 which has just gone viral on Twitter and it’s simply magnificent.
It was shared by write and biographer James Hogg who said it was ‘the funniest chat up line ever committed to anything’.
Behold, the funniest chat up line ever committed to anything. If I’d written this I’d have retired immediately, smug as hell.
Good evening. pic.twitter.com/Gk7tXdbTa6

Bravo!
Brilliant line, brilliantly delivered! There’s so many to choose from though. The “two ways to Urmston” lines and one of my personal favourites when Tony thinks Bren is pregnant and she says “only if sperm can get through a sash window”! Genius!

absolutely priceless and delivered with such panache by Anne Reid. Victoria Wood was such a wonderful writer giving a lot of the best lines to other people.

An absolute genius for observation comedy! Victoria was just brilliant and Dinner Ladies in my opinion is one of the best British ‘sitcoms’ ever. Totally underrated! RIP Victoria
