🤣

Maybe he's actually there and genuinely laughing?

Wrong. Jimmy Carr follows Alistair Crowley's 'backward mijak' by laughing on the inhale rather than the exhale, which, I'm guessing, is supposed to suck out the energy of the victims, sorry, audience, or simply be subconciously discordant and baffling to keep them under his 'spell'. Well, at least that's what they're saying on Mumsnet.

@@thesunreport Ha ha ha!!! brilliant

I never realised until I saw this and the content provider gig, how similar Jimmy Carr and Russell Howard really are 😅

Those are some of the words. Well done.

@@PhilipTimm some of the words have let themselves go

Wow, now look at you@Zain Alvaro and @Harrison Mayo, here you are in a Steward Lee comment section of his *WORDS OUT OF CONTEXT* routine, having your very own, unique little thing going on, haven't you!? That, gentlemen, is so meta, i feel inclined to respectfully tip my hat to you both,... if i didn't detest this sort of desperate clammy spamming *so much*. But, do tell: How many people did you lure into your Instawaste, from this particular comment section? How do S.Lee fans rate on the gullibility scale?

@@walteredstates You're a hero.

I know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me

you can hear Jimmy Carr in the audience laughing several times. most obviously at the end.

Twitter is mostly Americans telling Ricky Gervais he is a genius.

I love Stu greatly because he hates Ricky Gervais.

@@Dionysos640 Ok, "hates" is too strong a word! I didn't mean one hated the other *person* but how Stu likes to skewer Gervais, Jimmy Carr, Alan Macintyre, Roy Chubby Brown, and the rest. I'm sure they professionally admire each other. Just that many comedians have a routine of shtick which begs for parody. Funnily, has anyone ever done a parody of Stewart Lee !?!?! He leaves himself wide open! Methinks it would be a hard act to do because he is sooooo unpredictable. I find Gervais and many others very predictable, formulaic.

@@thedolphin5428 Michael Macintyre's twin brother Alan, whom doesn't exist, has let himself go.

Have you watched Roy 'Chubby'Brown?

In what context?

And he looks like so many other famous people.

It’s just a joke, like on top gear

These comments have let themselves go

Didn't think it got enough in the room.

@@petermorris4941 Perhaps because they were secretly aware that the exact same accusation can be aimed at them. I severely doubt anyone has ever arrived at a Stewart Lee gig as a Right winger and left thinking "You know what, I might give being a Liberal a try". We are all pretty entrenched nowadays.

With a touch of Daniel Day Lewis thrown in for good measure

Exactly. Why is Robert De Niro's acting so shit, now? That face he always pulls, as though he has just crapped himself. Was he always so rubbish, or is it just the roles/films he chooses? I thought he was okay in Sleepers. The Deer Hunter. Raging Bull. Taxi Driver. Heat. Good fellas. Casino. Banarama wrote a song about him. Where are they, now? 🍌

I suppose you think Gervais is a genius.

@@StratsRUs Who, me? No. I think genius is so overused a word it has lost all meaning or currency, so even if I did think that I;d be doing him no favours calling him it.

@@christopherbrookfield4785 If in doubt, blame Rupert Murdoch

It’s more of a philosophical thought experiment but yeah, ‘mythical Shakespearian shit’ works, too.😉✌️

Stop using context-free words.

but has also let himself go

All criticism of Stew's routine can of course be dismissed with a 'yes, *that's* the joke'. Don't you even understand???? etc...

Was he accusing as much as reflecting? Tend to think he’s generally ethical. Maybe you’re right. Maybe he was just being defensive and blaming the audience. It was edgy. Do white people need to play with racist taboo words? Is it freedom of speech or privilege taking? You made me think.

@@MrLtia1234 This is a fair point. I love Lee's work but he is certainly open to criticism and there is only so much clever 'meta' comedy and hiding behind persona's that can be sustained. Since the time of this routine, it has unravelled somewhat. He is right here about Carr though.

which is the same as not having thought about it?

In a sense, you're right. But it's worth thinking a level deeper - what does the technique signify, or aim to achieve? Carr's faux-naive shrug leaves the unspoken hanging, and the audience's reaction unquestioned. It hints towards "I'm just saying what we're all thinking". Stewart deconstructs the situation, forcing the audience to consider why they find some subjects to be acceptable targets for humour, and some words to be taboo, and some not.

Not at all. Comedians are usually extremely clever and often highly educated.

@@jeremystanger1711 Hi, I was talking about people generally. I agree of course that many comedians are brilliantly clever, not all of them though! (Jim Davidson, Nish Kumar?).

@@ysgol3 two extremely good examples of stupid comedians!

@@jeremystanger1711 LOL thank you!

Did you think he was good? ..then so did I

A friend of mine is a WB supporter- small world. Out of pity for him I did offer to trek bare foot through the snow to the Hawthorns to convince the chairman and VIPs, as Joan of Arc convinced the dauphin of her divine mission, that i was the right person to lead that sporting band in the hour of need, but i had to reluctantly concede that times have changed and no longer is there faith in such miracles.

Wouldn't surprise me if that was a cheeky Easter egg edited in.

Same, I struggle to watch about 9/10 stand-up acts now!

@@AA-hg5fk “Now”!? 🤨

Roy Chubby Brown?

Tom O’Connor ??

morrissey?

Are you a sardine?

Sounds a bit fishy to me

It's a tragedy that he died unable to free himself from his own barbed hook.

Yes, Lee doesn't actually despise most of the acts he makes fun of. Pretty sure he respects and would even laugh at some Michael Macintyre stuff; he just uses it as a contrast to his style. Despite what some bores might tell you it's possible to find both of them funny.

Aah, excuse me, but Stu's "success" is in no way due to Ricky Gervais. It is due to his comedy, not because someone else thinks he's funny and might have said to check him out.

Lee is playing a character. He has stated so numerous times. Gervais is not a stand up. He's a sitcom writer.

The harsher Lee is to Gervais, the better, since it's just a joke. Gervais is forced into laughing off any criticism, no matter how much it may hurt. That's what makes him funny these days.

@@DrSnook Gervais identifies as a stand up comic. Does that mean he is?

I preferred its earlier material.

Worse than that. He died shortly before you made your comment.

@@robsengahay5614 lost in translation- I'm quoting him (SL) live - the night after he died

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

no irony , just snowflakes doing their job

@@redwarf8118 Well the irony is that Lee was sticking up for context here but I suspect no longer would do in this case. So things have changed.

Why??

@@trystandavies2469 presumably he found it really funny.

Maybe the slight whisper of the delivery?

William Shatner had really let himself go

If you look closely enough he reminds you of every adult male ever.

If you haven't, you should watch the show where he inexplicably ends up in a room with Seinfeld, Chris Rock and Louis CK (pre-wanking in front of people who don't want to be wanked at, controversy) all discussing stand-up. He's so out of his league, he must have paid them all to be there. Also, that clip from his Gary Shandling interview, is gold. He's such a big-'ead

Great hahaha

Laughter is the bovine opiate of the precretariate class. *Jazz hands*

He's shite son.

@@tomthomas9708 - He said, taking a sip of brandy, a wry smile of satisfaction creeping onto his lips. No-one in the room dared argue, lest the already icy atmosphere became unbearable.

@@martinmaguire-music6692 Nah .... shite son.

@@tomthomas9708 Yes.

That means 'context doesn't matter', which is exactly the argument Stew easily disproved.

You do. And you came to this video just to comment about him. Seems like lots of people know who he is. And he seems quite relevant due to the whingers whinging against him recently for... writing a list. So maybe you've contradicted yourself a bit...

Thanks for your triggered-ness... 😊👍

Just the most boring routine in the world from David there. Say something obviously stupid and ignorant, and when someone tells you it's stupid, pretend you only did it to trigger them and come back with 'You mad, bro?' or something equally douchey to cover for the fact that you actually meant the stupid thing because you are actually that stupid

You need Roy 'chubby' Brown

Excellent call ... although his answers might need an episode ech for full effect a Lee joke shortened would be a sad sight , like asking someone wnat lord of the rings was about and being told it was about 3 hours long

It would be terrible. He has in the past been a few panel shows and it doesn't work - he takes it too seriously and isn't very spontaneous with snappy quips. He says himself he hated doing them.

I think it might have been him- comedians seem to mock each other if they're in attendance!

Grow up

@@andyochocki2020 He was only stating facts.

@@finosuilleabhain7781 You can prove anything with facts..........

The prissy little n word.

"unbroadcastable" he said on a broadcast video that hasn't been censored in any way

Yes, apparently he was, which makes the joke even funnier.

A prick that nevertheless has let itself go.

@@BigyetiTechnologies Is that a reference to ejaculate? I imagine Stewart Lee has fond memories of when that was a viable and enjoyable option, rather than a half-hearted and unsatisfactory affair issuing from what was almost an erection. If his comedy is anything to go by!

Are you an intellectual? I was just laughing at the use of the N word.

@@JohnSmith-ji6lu Depends on the context!

Woke puppet.

I suppose you could say that he’s let himself go.

I know. He us though...

I think both the character Stewart Lee and the writer Stewart Lee will be delighted that you feel or felt that way, as that's exactly what he's trying to portray (aloofness etc). Swing and a miss, but actually a hit! 😎👌

Yeah, but to be fair, almost every human who has ever lived has thought they were ‘so smart’ and ‘above everybody else’, relative to where they’ve placed themselves in the social hierarchy. It just so happens, Lee *is* objectively brighter and funnier, it seems, than the great mass of the rest of us; and even if he isn’t, the key thing, as you’ve correctly spotted, is that he thinks he is. But I repeat, you yourself (along with everyone else) think you’re smarter and above a whole raft of others you perceive, rightly or wrongly, as your inferior. If you deny this, I would suggest that you’re being wilfully dishonest with us, or you are being wilfully dishonest with yourself. No one who has ever lived is not a snob in one way or another. Even Jesus had it in for the money-lenders!
