Chubby Brown

[Wanderer]

If he is your sort of stuff.

Chubby is on Men and Motors at 11pm tonight and tomorrow and next week as well.
Watched it last night. It was brilliant.

139 on Sky dunno about any other providers

Ed

[strapping young lad]

have seen him twice

u have to make sure you arent singled out or you will be pointed out by him

go to the toilet before he starts (in other words dont move!!!)

[Wanderer]

Last nights was from Blackpool. Sounds like tonights is from Australia.
I've never heard so many content warnings for a programme before. Not just at the start but during the breaks as well.

He was hilarious. :lol:  Shame hardly any of his jokes can be repeated on here.

[strapping young lad]

well in the late 80's early 90's he was more popular

as was the other blue ones

but i think people have gone more PC and think their jokes arent suitable for today's society

there was a prog the other night about bernard manning on tv.. people say he's not popular any more but he has been going 50 yrs apparently

if you werent any good you wouldnt be going for that long..

Saw him once live years ago, very 'blue' and funny  :lol:

I got Peter Kay's new DVD to watch tonight, did anyone see his series Pheonix Nights, very funny  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

[strapping young lad]

saw peter kay in the summer pops festival in liverpool last year

got his live in blackpool dvd and the live in the bolton albert hall one

wife and her family are from bolton and know where the phoenix club building is and the location shots

quite annoying when you are watching it and they bellow out "coo i know where that is!"""

saw jim davidson in southport in october

funny in bits but ive seen him had bad press recently though

makes you wonder who is telling the truth sometimes...

[Wanderer]

Rik Mayall and Ade Edmundson (spooling) were in Nottingham recently and they were absolutely excellent.
With Peter Kaye and Ricky Gervais amongst all the others we certainly have a wealth of talent.
I can't understand how the Americans understood RG's humour allowing him to nick the award from under their homegrown boy's noses.

[strapping young lad]

i thought americans didnt get sarcasm?

or dry humour especially the lack of visual comedy in the program..

americans like to have an audience watching and laugh at opportune moments so the tv watching audience knows when something funny happens.

[Andy.]

Arh the office now there's another good show  :D

I'm only sorry there won't be anymore  :(

Some more DVD's to buy me thinks  

[Andy.]

Another one of our fav's is/or was Red Dwarf  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

And also Gimmie Gimmie pee my self laughing watching the re runs on sky of that one  :lol:
And not forgetting Only Fools and Horses, brilliant  :D

The only US comedy series I can really name is Fraiser, never really got into it though, they nicked Ab Fab as well which went down a storm over there.

[strapping young lad]

i used to like cheers

never watched frasier but liked fresh prince.

best one is simpsons

end of.

It's funny, I can't abide Mr Vasey, but I've absolutely adored Edmondson & Mayall all the way through the years,
Kevin Turvey
Dangerous Brothers
Comic Strip
Young Ones
Bottom (my favourite)

I've seen 3 of the Bottom stage shows and still can't figure out how they actually miss each other with the frying pans/cricket bats, etc...

The new series that Edmondson is in; 'Doctors & Nurses' (Tuesday BBC1 @ 22:30) is damn funny, as I can recognise the charactors as they could be some of our staff.
