"The round-faced, amiable and slyly lecherous Mr. Hill is unlike anyone else." That pretty well says it. Hill is described as a dirty old man and an outstanding comedian. If you're into women in revealing clothing, sexual antics, and a middle-aged man very much with his eyes on younger women, here's a video you'll find most amusing. Hill was actually around for decades, playing bit roles in movies and on stage. When he got his chance, he ran with it and became enormously popular in this country, particularly on college campuses.

Benny Hill fans, rejoice! This mammoth compilation contains almost two hours of songs, skits, and risquéé comedy from the undisputed king of saucy humor. The Benny Hill Show ran for more than 20 years in Britain and proved to be one of that nation's most enduring entertainment exports, tickling funny bones from Honolulu to Helsinki, thanks to its parade of visual gags. Not since the heyday of the silent movies did a comedian achieve such worldwide popularity, proving that when it comes to low comedy there is a universal language. Benny Hill's One Night Video Stand includes all of the classic ingredients, from a ribald poem about Eskimo Nell to a silent version of "The Three Musketeers" to several appearances by Hill's Angels, who appear to have cornered the world supply of hot pants in the late '70s. There's also an unusual sketch with Benny playing a lonely clown, a combination of gentle humor and pathos that pays tribute to the European mime tradition. There will always be viewers who find the blatant sexism of The Benny Hill Show hard to forgive. This compilation is unlikely to change those views, although one fact that emerges after two hours of nonstop skits is how stupid all of the male characters are. Benny Hill turned male insecurity into an enormously successful career, and no matter how much things have changed since his death in 1992, he remains one of the most popular comedians in the world.

This is a feature-length compilation of sketches from Benny Hill's long-running TV series. If you're at all familiar with the genial British comedian, you'll know what to expect: plenty of girls, plenty of puns, plenty of obvious visual humor, and plenty of eccentrics dashing from here to there. Some of the sketches run on a bit longer than necessary, others are short and sweet. Movie buffs will love two sketches in particular: 1) Benny is the star of a 1930s late-show movie, but the print is terrible (Benny and the cast ingeniously simulate splicy dialogue, projection at the wrong speed, etc.); 2) A cineaste -- Hill's straight man Henry McGee in a delightfully over-the-top performance -- interviews famed French director Benny, asking searching questions and getting matter-of-fact answers. Benny's monologues are fun, too -- his story of a little boy who befriends a bird is timed beautifully. If you like simple, lowbrow burlesque comedy, you'll certainly enjoy this tape.

Alfred Hawthorne "Benny" Hill (21 January 1924 – 20 April 1992) was an English comedian. He is remembered for his television programme, The Benny Hill Show, an amalgam of slapstick, burlesque and double entendre in a format that included live comedy and filmed segments, with Hill at the focus of almost every segment. Hill was a prominent figure in British television for several decades. His show was among the most-watched programmes in the UK, and his audience was more than 21 million in 1971. The Benny Hill Show was also exported to many countries around the world. He received a BAFTA Television Award for Best Writer and a Rose d'Or, and was nominated for the BAFTA for Best Entertainment Performance and for two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Variety. In 2006, Hill was voted by the British public number 17 in ITV's poll of TV's 50 Greatest Stars. Outside television, Hill starred in films including the Ealing comedy Who Done It? (1956), Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines (1965), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) and The Italian Job (1969). His comedy song, "Ernie (The Fastest Milkman in the West)", was 1971's number one Christmas song on the UK Singles Chart, and earned Hill an Ivor Novello Award from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors in 1972.
