Britcom Worlds Colliding!!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVED both seasons of Stephen Merchant's great series, The Outlaws, but watching the finale with him playing the iconic Del Boy bar scene from Only Fools and Horses made my damn year. 

FULL DISCLOSURE: as I've stated before as much as I love the bar scene - I am human, after all - I think the preceding "Beam me up, Snotty!" scene may be almost as funny:

 

AND as you already know I still put the chandelier scene from Season 2 anyways:

A few years ago I wondered if Merchant & Ricky Gervais had based the great scene in Extras with Barry from Eastenders humiliating himself with the craft service table on an exact scene with Del Boy from almost 25 years earlier. So I already had a feeling they were huge fans of the show.

Anyway, the coming together of all the great BBC sitcom greatness has me just all a-glowing :) Even just the WAY he says "David Jason" is hilarious. 

Now enjoy the beautifully-recorded-by-me scene below.
