Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle

If you're referring to the rap joke with regards to the paint dry, that's kinda a staple of Lee's standup of dragging out a joke like that. Sometimes maybe too long I guess

Still I loved it. The Chris Moyles bit was hilarious. "Some of my friends asked what is it about" :guffaw:

Yeah the rap star bit, but also the way too long silence after the Moyles some of my friends asked what's it about bit. Both just went on too long for me. His review of the SO Solid Crew guy's book was funny though, but I think he was better when his smug superiority was softened by Herring's loveable buffoon.
 
I think the smugness is more knowing tongue-in-cheekness than anything, and is always part of his act so I'd come to expect that

"And you might look at that and think 'that's funny and clever', but it isn't"
:lol:

The Kevin Eldon sketches were brilliant
"I know a lot of people think I am hanging out with the rich and famous but I'm not. Normally I sit in my local with a few pals and just talk shite like everybody else"
"Yes, Chris Moyles expresses such noble and improving sentiments. The common man must have celebrity hardbacks!"


oh, and Harry Potter and the Crock of Shit
 
Episode 2 was on last night. Hmm, the sketches just weren't that funny (the Channel 4 sewage thing got old very fast) and some of the jokes were just reused from his "41st Best Stand up" DVD
I don't really see the need for the sketches; I'd rather just have half an hour of his stand up. It's as if the idiots at the BBC thought having a man talking for 30 minutes would be too boring as so insisted on interspersing it with some weak sketches

Some funny bits but definitely not as good as last week
 
It was a far weaker episode, not many memorable lines and the sewage sketch, while a great visual image, was repeated too often. I agree with him about the Del Boy thing but again the last five minutes of his rant about it seemed to fall apart somewhat. Felt a bit like he missed some open goals.
 
I gave this a chance last night because I used to love Lee and Herring in the nineties (even have the cheap Fist Of Fun tie-in book!) but quickly found all the repetition in the stand-up part tedious...and the sketches were even worse. The "Portrat of Ant And Dec" stands out as being particularly awful (maybe it was a satire on bad sketches...or something.) I thought maybe I was just in a bad mood or something but then I turned over to a repeat of Buzzcocks on Dave and Simon Amstell made me laugh more in a minute than Stewart did in 20.

But maybe you're not supposed to laugh, just sit back and go "aaaah" at how clever he is.
 
Yeah,given the subject of last nights show ie.television,I was expecting much more than Stu lying on the floor frothing at the mouth about "Del boy,falling through the bar...".Um,if ever a topic needed searing,bile-filled criticism,it is the current state of television.
Stu doesn't look up to the job.
Perhaps the Beeb should have given the gig to that Scottish geezer from "Mock the week" .
 
^Frankie Boyle?

Well I've finished watching, I think I laughed 3 times in the whole show. Mostly at the March of the Penguins stuff.
 
I must be getting old, my memory is failing me. I don't remember any of these things. I only vaguely remember Fist of Fun. I don't seem to remember anything of This Morning...
 
^ Whoa, whoa, whoa! That's english for stop a horse*

This Morning With Richard Not Judy was on BBC2 Sundays mornings in the late 90s, and was fucking awesome!

Actually I only ever saw the second series (of 2) in 1999 but it was easily one of the best shows the BBC ever put out. A few months ago I rewatched the whole thing on Youtube and it was still as funny as ever. And although there are loads of clips still there, I believe the full episodes have been removed now


* btw if anyone knows what thats a quote of they get 500 house points
 
My Google-Fu skills tell me it's a Partridgeism. But I wasn't supposed to Google for it, was I?

:D

I remember watching Fist of Fun, and liking it, I just remember next to nothing of what was in it. I think I maybe watched 1 episode of This Morning With Richard Not Judy, but I can't remember anything about it.
