#Baroness von sketch show season 5 episode 11 tv

Set your TV to PVR the show every week while you still can. At least we can still rewatch five seasons via streaming. I know I’ve probably used too many superlatives to describe the show, but I love them and I’ll miss them soooo much. The hair, the wardrobe choices, the vocal cadence, everything they do is spot on. They once did a sketch of two women our age going for lunch at a trendy restaurant and none of the veteran wait staff want to serve them because they tend to be so finicky so they delegate to the newbie. Wine is a staple in many of the sketches. All these everyday experiences are hilariously skewered by the Baroness von Sketch ladies. Shopping for jeans, trying to discretely buy gynecological products at the pharmacy, cutting your own hair, sitting in the middle seat in an airplane when you have to go to the bathroom. Simple situations interpreted brilliantly. Whenever I lean back and pull on that fourth corner to ease it over the mattress I remember MacNeill doing the same while tucking her hemorrhoids back in with her fingers. Every week when I change the sheets on our bed, I’m reminded of a sketch she did about trying to stretch a tightly fitted sheet over the mattress. Her body contorts and responds to situations in ways that will have you running for the bathroom. Meredith MacNeill is absolutely brilliant at physical comedy and completely fearless. Anyone who has been a weekend guest at a friend’s rustic cottage will relate. They even stretch out the words with a nasal “ going to the caaaaattaaaaage” the same way Seinfeld and Elaine said, “ We have to go see the baaaaby”. By the time the hostess delivers the extensive list of rules and procedures for a weekend at the caaaaatage, including “ If it’s yellow, let it mellow”, the entire ordeal hardly seems worth it so they decide to go to a motel instead. They do a hilarious sketch about going to a friend’s cottage for a girls’ weekend. It’s so on target it is possible that some men or younger women wouldn’t even get many of the references, but give it a try anyway. The humour delivered by these four women is brilliant, scathing and laser-sharp. They slip into the role of male characters with as much skill and finesse as Tracey Ullman. You really are old!” and he lets them in. “ You have a friend called Linda?” says the bouncer with a note of incredulity in his voice. Finally, they accept their fate and announce they won’t be able to get in to celebrate Linda’s birthday so they turn around to leave.

“ Her sweater is Liz Claiborne!” says another. at a drive-in movie” one of them pleads in an effort to confirm her considerable age. “ I lost my virginity during an original showing of Dirty Dancing. Meanwhile, he lets pubescent girls in skimpy skirts and belly-baring crop tops bounce in with just a smile. None of them can produce the necessary right-of-passage so they’re denied entry. The tough-looking bouncer on the door won’t let them in without I.D. One of my favourite sketches showed the four women lined up at the back door of a trendy night club all primed for a wild girls-night-out-well, as wild as we over-forty’s can get. I’ve been a devoted fan since Season 1, Episode 1.

I cannot recommend their show highly enough. Aurora Browne, Jennifer Whalen, Meredith MacNeill and Carolyn Taylor are brilliant in their Baroness von Sketch Show. If you haven’t been following this hilarious half-hour sketch comedy show by four brilliant Canadian women, then, where have you been? Living in a cave? Get with it! Meredith MacNeill, Aurora Browne, Jennifer Whalen and Carolyn Taylor take Kids in the Hall humour to the next level and target women, particularly those over forty. The bad news is this is their fifth and final season. The good news is that the new season of Baroness von Sketch Show starts this week on Tuesday, October 6th on CBC.
