to wash out the taste of that last video:
Funny
Mull of Kintyre
If there’s any song Sandra hates more than any other, with the fiery hate of a thousand supernovas, it’s this one:
But would it have been such an overplayed hit had the public known about the Mull of Kintyre test?
Comedy Double: When Hecklers Attack
He gets knocked down, but he gets up again – I’ve featured Australian comic Jim Jeffries before: he’s incredibly hilarious but incredibly crude and apparently in Manchester recently he hit on some nutter’s hotbutton issue. Said nutter promptly got up on stage and attacked him. Nevertheless our doughty hero carried on:
Jim Jeffries is funny and so had the audience behind him, but I’m amazed the whole fucking audience didn’t attack this very unfunny American comic. No idea who he is but perhaps it’s best he should remain nameless if this performance is any guide. The lamest wingnut comedian I’ve ever seen. Two women take him on re his racist comments and make him look very silly indeed. “Fuck you!” “Not likely”:
How not to get the audience behind you: take the straight and simple Oklahoma approach to hecklers and nip it in the bud with a whack over the head with a guitar.
None of the above is SFW, due to offensive language, but the next clip is. “I not a girl, I a woman!” 2 year old Sadie deals with a pest:
But best and most stylish heckler response of all comes from Noel Fielding of the Mighty Boosh. It’s shaky cameraphone footage but the sound is OK and he handles the heckler with just his wit and his unique style.
Now that’s the way to do it. And you lot can shut up at the back.
Put Down What You’re Eating Before Reading This
I can see being tempted, but I cannot imagine actually doing this:
Wife put excrement in man’s curry
A disgruntled wife has admitted feeding her husband a curry containing dog excrement after their relationship broke down.
Jill Martin, 47, pleaded guilty at Paisley Sheriff Court to culpable and reckless conduct against former husband Donald Martin.
During the hearing, defence solicitor Terry Gallanagh likened the case to “an episode of Desperate Housewives”.
Sheriff G.W.Sinclair deferred sentence on Martin until 1 November.
Depute Fiscal Margaret Dunnipace told the court that on 13 March, after placing the dinner in front of her husband Donald and watching him start to eat it, Martin had burst out laughing.
At that time, she believed he had started an affair although those fears turned out to be unfounded
At first she claimed she had laced the dish with arsenic but then confessed she had added dog excrement instead.
The court heard that the couple had been married for 21 years but in recent years their relationship “had hit an all time low”.
An all-time low? I should say so.
Friday Comedy Double
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.
