Hahaha but actually yes, it's so tragic...he's one of the world's greatest and most unique comedians and most people don't even know him

hahaha....very nice set up

It reminds me of the story of Stewart Lee and the spider ......

And deservedly so 😂

Brilliant.

Now he doesn't seem smug at all.

In other words, he really let himself go

That reminds me of the story of Robert the Bruce and Stewart Lee, the stand up comedian...

So to be funny, he had to let himself go

@@UberOcelot what? He's 54 years old, would like to see you at that age? He's a normal 54 year old man who is obviously enjoying life and has enough money to sip good quality wines and cheeses.

+jakeeypants * pear.

+jakeeypants I am drinking cheap Tesco Pear cider (2 quid for 4 cans) now you got me wondering ,is it two pears for-fer-fer four cans

SuperSeriouSam it's two pear. You're welcome.

Don't get any shame in the pear.

MAXIMUM DISRESPECT.

Yes he does...have you seen them on top of the pops...

@@alanwhite7912 The rappers....... we've all seen them..........., rapping ......

@@thewomble1509 They run along, they run along the hand rail, don't they? And they get to the end and they go, "Oooh", like that, in a shopping centre, by the, where the multi-storey is.

This comedian is not really aimed at me

All these years later and he still hasn't got his timing together...

I was 11 !!

That I would have done filthy things to a 20-something Stewart Lee.

Wouldn't say no.

NeverReadTheCommentSection He definitely hasn't "let himself go". That's for sure.

he looks fat and depressed and fat

@@foxxxdude What about now, a twenty stone Stewart lee?

especially on "quite funny that one isn't it?"

I see what you did there

He's the 41st best.

Yawn....

Andy Dunnock Andy Dunnock's KZfaq comments have let themselves go.

Mikeoneus says the poster recycling an old joke that's boring unfunny & stale. Got any original thoughts?

Me Meno I'll give it to you straight, like a pear cider that's made from 100% pears: Stewart Lee has let himself go.

wow - is there no beginning to your wit?

Stay on your own rocky outcrop!

@@stephenderry9488 I remember when there were no spiders or rocky outcrops or anything… remember those days?? when there was nothing, nothing at all…. it was great back then.. remember??

I was just thinking that. Ted was a big influence on him, and he does have a very similar delivery in this clip.

Did that hurt as much to write as it does to read? The irony that I had to edit this comment is not lost on me.

@@thephoenixsystem6765 I'm just relieved I only had to type it and not say it out loud.

If only he was funny

@@dusterss6290 If only YOU had a sense of humour. Stuart Lee is very fun with his dry, observational humour - which, apparently, goes right over your head. Better get back to your "Did you hear the one about...?" comics.

@OhDannyBoyThePipes Your guess, predictably enough, is perfectly accurate. I love your politeness so here is a little poem I wrote for the Daily Mail some years ago, which extends the Robert the Bruce connection. In my version, the spider is a hopelessly incurable gambling addict who also has a hand (or leg) in inspiring the Caledonian hero. I called it: Robert the Bruce - the Real Story. "When Bob the Bruce was in his cave, preparing for the fray A small arachnid caught his eye, just perched along the way But this was no bog-standard bug that wastes his time on spinning This lad was out to mastermind the noble art of winning. So Bob looked on with growing awe, as spiderboy got cracking His Racing Post would give the clues to what was best for backing Selections made, his phone came out, and then some frenzied chatter His bookie understood damn-all, but still, it didn't matter. An hour later, ashen-faced, the spider learned the worst For all his horses ran all right, but none of them came first. But then occurred a wondrous sight The spider, far from taking flight, propped up his Post and licked his pen And started reading form again. Now Bob the Bruce was most impressed, he nodded to his in-cave guest Then strode outside into the light, ambition burning fierce and bright. The next gig up was Bannockburn, for sure, the real deal To rout those saucy Sassenachs, and bring those scum to heel And history tells us this occurred, for Bob, so bold and brave But who would guess the architect lay punting in that cave?" Very best wishes Ian

@@davidbrown8763 Why is it that, if someone doesn't like Stewart Lee, the retort is always "You're an idiot who I bet likes Michael Macintyre" or words to that effect?

A poor version of Norm

He seems more like Norm Wisdom on Xanax.

He had already let himself go eleven years ago so now he's gone even further

still is, he isn't quite dead yet

No he hasn't.

@TJ Thunder Ha h aha ha ha ha exactly

100 percent pear of steel

Same. He's 17 years older than me now, and back then, he was also 17 years older than me.

What about percentages ?

Amazing me TOO!

"...and although he's got diverticulitis, his urine stream now is stronger than mine is at my age..."

This comment gets a yellow card

No he hasnt. He simply transformed into a different life force, capable of astral projections unhindered by physical limitations such as gravity and the strength of electromagnetic interaction etc., and was recently observed in the lower stratosphere. Planning a new tour possibly.

It's called the 90s

If you say so.

tw!nkchamp 😘👌

Louis.C yeah, they arrest you and put you in jail for that these days.

Iain MacLennan his biological Dad was Scottish.

He's got Scotch blood.

Nope , Bob the bruce.

Did she treat those subjects entirely separately or teach them together; sex and hygiene, a guide for youngsters? Which reminds me, we had a female history teacher, Miss Thingammyjig (Thingamejig?) who brought sex into the subject when she told us how Catherine the Great died, at the hands - no, that would be the hooves, but in fact it wasn't the hooves either, it was (excuse my crudity, I'll use a term I heard on BlackAdder 3) the large dingle dongle- of a horse; and I have reason now to believe this was false and I have come to wonder why a female history teacher would raise such an issue with 13 year old boys. As you may have guessed, I can't remember her name- she only taught us for a term-, but in that time I craftily managed to bring into the history lesson a subject that also interested me; when drawing a diagram of the battle of Stamford Bridge on the blackboard, the way the competing armies were arranged, I was surreptitiously substituting for that not very well known example of 11th century warfare a diagram of the 1972 league cup semi final between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. Now, after all these years- can so many decades really have passed so quickly?- I remember my friend, a Spurs fan (in the immortal words of Joe E Brown, nobody's perfect), was struck on the head and cut by a board rubber hurled at the lad in front of him by the geography teacher. Never mind the bullies, school was a dangerous place for us kids in those days, but I don't remember any teachers being called Wilson. Probably just as well. Some of us might never have lived to tell the tale.
