Thanks for the pics Julie.

It's sad that we don't see much of this stuff about anymore.

Still, we're lucky to have you and Splosh keeping classic slapstick traditions going!

Yes!!
that was truly julie..nice comeback
got any idea where to find the video for this one? it'd be great to watch it in animation....

The pictures are from Circus Herman Renz of the Netherlands.
Do any of your sources have a clip of this slapstick routine?

I found some more images of this here: http://www.fransvanzijst.nl/categories. ... 060&page=3

The female stooge here is a Beertje van Beers who is a famous dutch TV presenter (the Dutch equivalent of Christine Bleakley?). Julie xxx



Youtube clip -- 'Kersterrencircus 2009 - Milko, Jochem van Gelder en Beertje van Beers.'
A two minute clip of the Stooge getting her just desserts.

Thanks everyone. Have added the clip to your post Glynnnn

Thanks Bill for adding the clip.

Is it possible, in this thread or a more technical part of this forum, to let me know how to post Youtube, Metacafe, etc clips.
Step by step and click by click instructions would be very helpful.
It would save you having to do it on my ignorant behalf and I could post more clips without any problems.
Any help appreciated.

I wonder if its for timing purposes? The slap up the bum could be the cue for the stooge to bend her knees and sit in the wheelbarrow without having it bash painfully into the back of her legs

You mean more like this (see below), Julie. Trust Jane Deane and Co to get it right.

Falling backwards into wheelbarrows or big vats of mess is not as easy as it looks. We have done it a couple of times with Gilly and Sam and you need to be confident that the thing you are falling into is in the right place without looking round. In the world of one take (which we inhabit) the prospect of getting it wrong and spilling the lot on the floor (not to mention any bruises sustained by the girls) is horrendous.

Our old friend Danny Adams falls backwards into baths and tubs a lot in their slosh routnes and it is interesting to see that he holds the sides before he falls but does so in such a way it still looks natural and doesn't slow up the gag. Sadly I can't upload this as I don't have a DVD ripper.

Want to incorporate more 'falling over' stuff in our routines but need to find models who are brave enough to do it!!

Here is a clip that I believe the above picture is from





the sloshing starts about 4mins 10 secs in to the clip.
