I learned that William Shatners real name was bill shits 😂

You just wouldn't let it lie, would you!

I learnt that Jeremy Irons

I learnt that Lynn Faulds Wood.

@@jamescropley1607 I learnt that James may?

they stole from them the comedy panel show idea and the layout.

It was an inspiration for Would I Lie To You

Some people are just funny..and don't need anything else.

absolute classic comedy 🤣🤣🤣

Michael Winner..can you leave your fingerprints on a parsnip?

I still have no idea why that was so fucking funny, but it makes me laugh every time. I find myself randomly shouting it around the house sometimes.

hahah. yep. I also came via that momentarily furious route. Thank you Ben Jones. Happy new year.

I watched it about 15 and just rewatched it. So much went over my head then. Rewatch it!

lol I recon it was 9, I was also a teen and that would have been too late for me. Actually it could have been cause Eurotrash was on after 😆

That's very true. I found him okay on the radio, on his own. Very weak on here

He has his own niche. His Talk Radio stuff with Danny Kelly circa 1997-2000 is some of the best radio ever done imo.

Yep. I hate that type of person. You might not agree, but I put Phil Jupitus and Bill Bailey in that same category. They spoilt QI when they were on for the same reason. They thought it was all about them.

@@gorber1971 I agree with this, particularly with Jupitus. Can't say it made me dislike him as he seems nice enough but some people just can't function when the environment isn't just about them.

@@gorber1971 each to their own i guess, i think Life of brian & fawlty towers are awesome cult classics, i know some people that just dont get it. I think Phil jupiters is a very loud unfunny turd. I think phil bailey is funny & rsther surreal with his spur of the moment comments. Danny baker when he was on Radio London I think, was very amusing, had many music related anecdotes & was very interesting regarding his life long musical knowledge AND he has saved me nearly a thousand pounds in licence fee too. Danny bakers book " going to sea in a sieve" if you love music is 1 of the funniest things I've read. Like i say, each to there own i guess

aaawww that's a shame, hope you feel better soon.

I remember being behind Bob Mortimer going through the tills at Food Giant in Hill Street Center once. All the time, I was wondering whether it was him or not, and then I manged to catch a glimpse of his card when he paid, and it said Robert Mortimer. I haven't seen many famous people in my life, so it sticks in my mind.

@@gorber1971 well Andrew stuck in the Hills street center it will be hard, maybe try Martin road, Boro fish bar? Or the Europa? 😀 joking, good story! I am local, not taking this Pss, just messing all the best!

he's employed by the British Museum to represent *the 50s* - doubt he'll have time to be interviewed.

He quite Showbusiness as far as I'm aware, shame loved him on Shooting Stars and he made Buzzcocks.

@@Nealson454 thanks a lot man got on that as soon as u uploaded 😜

It might be on Britbox ...but I'm not 100% sure of that.

Geordie jumpers

Norm could be funny, but not Vic and Bob funny.

Sarcasm!

Yeah, think he was definitely taking the piss there. But the joke about self-harm and bulimia was in pretty poor taste.

@@johnmartinez7440 It really was!

I think it means fans who are also students. Hence the university tour I guess.

Does everyone under 25 go to university.?.Big Night Out started out pretty niche and the 'people that attended university' took to it. Hence the university tour. It was pretty surreal and kinda cerebral. Perfect stoner stuff as well.

@@adriandenton6637 Yes. Stoners and indeed others also liked their stuff. The fact that they appealed to students and in that sense had a student fan base, off the back of which I also guess a university tour was organised, was not an exclusive appeal.

@@alecskinner8807 think it was on pretty late at night on C4 as well.

southerners think Flanagan and MacIntyre are funny.

Good examples of unfunny Northern people here ⬆️

Celebrity juice isn't even the poor mans version of noels house party 😂

Nah celebrity juice is amazing

Keith Lemon is smutty, trashy, sticky and unfunny..which also describes ITV funnily enough.

@@mrmoran0077 No mention of crinkly bottoms here, thank you.

Yes!!

Hopefully, one day, Bob will be left the entire Sky TV empire by Rupret Mydick. Then he'll commission a Vic and Bob channel. Then we shall all die with a smile on our faces.

hahaha..wtf..but you commented.

@@adriandenton6637 I think my account has been hacked by John Lydon

Um, what?

They did do Comedy Connections on New Statesman, which was Yorkshire TV and Spitting Image, which was Central TV.

There's not a lot to 'get'. That's probably your problem, trying to make sense of the non-nonsensical. It works at a really fundamental level, like slapstick, which it comprises a lot of.

Uvavu

You either get it or you don't. Thankfully millions got it
