Sir Bob Mortimer



Saw him & Vic Reeves on a panel show once & there was another guest on who was hilarious and had the audience in stitches. Everyone was laughing. Everyone.

Except the 2 lads who were absolutely seething that someone else was getting the laughs. I thought a bit less of them after that. & I'm sure they'll be gutted when they read this.

Think it might have been Joe Wilkinson on 8 out of 10 cats...
 
Loved it when it wasn’t and David Mitchell was going mental, funny as owt.

There’s an hours worth of Bob on WILTY on YouTube, it’s f***ing brilliant.

Linked to the last series with Bob's story of his home dentistry. David Mitchell shouting about how these things were absolutely ridiculous but they're always true.
 
The Chain Reaction interview he did with Vic Reeves on R4 is well worth a listen.

That was his finest moment on that show. The bit where he turns to the audience and goes “a leather maker’s drill, yeah?” To make sure they understand cracks me up for some reason :lol:

Also “Once you have fujinine, you are a dentist!”

Gary Cheeseman. Big lad with a very big head, sniper’s dream they used to call him.

Seems to have gotten less funny since his health scare (makes sense given proper humour transcends the mimd and comes from the heart. And his is brittle); he’s carried by that other fella on Mince.

Can’t remember the lads name but he’s hysterical - that NINTEEEEEN EIGHTEEEEES thing he says has me in bits.

Heard he’s alright in real life anarl. Not like Mortimer who does very little charity work relevant to his (waning) profile.

IMO of course

Hi baz
 
Really don’t want to portray an agenda driven critic but his fishing show was obviously rigged.

Didn’t watch it but setting out to catch 12 fish and coming away with half was obviously an attempt to wangle a second series. That’s basically fraud.

However for valance, his Hendo impression wasn’t shit like. The other fella, the fat one, would probably have added a better angle with him being a big Red n White army follower mind

You sound a bit impartial tbh. Are you a friend of that other fella or perhaps related?

Who the fuck is this?
 
His Peter Beardsley stuff is very funny, a few times I’ve had to pull the car over cos I’ve been laughing that much

“Mumble mumble lumpy lumpy chicken mumble daft kids”

It’s lowest common denominator stuff.

It’s cringeworthy when compared to the other lads sideswipe German electro Kraftwerk parody. Surely I’m not the only who noticed the subtle nod to the Germany’s foreign policy and economic force. Quite clever tbh
