A roundabout journey this morning, from an impious Scotswoman to a gang of genius scallies, taking in everyone’s favourite daft Brummie uncle and a cute wiggly machine on the way. All but the cute wiggly machine and possibly Jasper Carrott are NSFW really, unless have your boss well-trained, you are the boss, or you just don’t give a shit.
Anything labelled “CAUTION This clip may offend as it contains strong language and religious references.” has got my interest straight away. This is Glaswegian comedian, journalist and occasional blogger Janey Godley on how hard the whole ‘body of Christ’ thing is for a small child to swallow:
Without Sunday school there wouldn’t be half so many bolshy atheists like me about. Thanks, C of E!
Speaking of past times; remember when the advent of Thatcher and Reagan seemed unlikely and all there was to be scared of was complete and utter mutual nuclear annihilation? Ah, halcyon days. Here’s Jasper Carrott‘s 1979 standup show at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, Part 1. (Parts 2 and 3). How strangely innocent and sweet it seems now.
Today’s first bonus clip has no real connection to anything at all really, it just tickles me. Here’s Keepon the dancing robot dancing to the Thizzle dance. No idea what the Thizzle dance is but it’s got a good beat and you can dance to it. Oi’ll give it foive.
Last but most definitely not least, and short but hardly sweet, are the wonderful Half Man Half Biscuit (Motto: “Satisfying The Bloodlust Of The Masses in Peacetime”), mocking those saddos from Slipknot in a clip titled “A Broadside against the Vatican.” More HMHB here.
Heh. Indeed.
