Description

Infinite Statue & Collectibles proudly presents a stunning 1/6 scale statue of Benny Hill as the legendary Fred Scuttle. Inspired by a 1972 sketch, this sculpture captures the unmistakable comedic essence of one of the greatest masters of laughter. A must-have tribute for all comedy and collectible enthusiasts.

The best definition of Benny Hill is undoubtedly that of a great comedian and a true “master of laughter.” Few have managed to blend the art of modern television entertainment with the challenging slapstick style of silent cinema as he did. Hill was not only a trailblazer for comedic timing on TV but also an artist capable of crafting comedic sketches with the precision of a ballet choreographer: each scene is orchestrated with visual and scenic rhythm, seamlessly blending entire eras of comedy.

Writer, performer, set designer, and producer of timeless comedic masterpieces, his universal language allowed him to be appreciated worldwide, inspiring many future comedians in both cinema and television. While often reduced to a mere “comic caricature,” Benny Hill’s artistry transcended the boundaries of entertainment. His iconic persona left an indelible mark on anyone who ever watched him, even just once. This tribute to one of the greats of comedy serves as a reminder of the brilliance of an artist like Benny Hill.

This statue depicts him as one of his most beloved characters: Fred Scuttle, the shy, clumsy, and bumbling character who, through misunderstandings and awkward movements, could unleash an unparalleled comedic storm in any situation. The sculpture is inspired by a 1972 television sketch in which the famous English host Nicholas Parsons “interviewed” Scuttle in his role as the doorman/promoter of a fictional striptease cabaret. The rest is history.
