😆 Comedy genius

It always pleased me a great deal that Terry Jones guest starred in The Young Ones.

OK, with all this talk of comic genius I wanted to give some praise for Mark Heap. As @Fowllyd said further up the thread, he’s always excellent.

He has to be one of the finest physical comedians that we’ve produced.

One of Mrs Bletch’s and my dirty lockdown pleasures is Friday Night Dinner. It’s a little slapstick for me to call it anything above ‘funny’ but it’s enjoyable.

However, Mark Heap is just superb as neighbour Jim in it.

This is my favourite episode - So Much Blood.

Yes indeed. Just imagine what he would have made of Trump!

If his career had survived whatever he’d have said about 9/11.

More from Bruiser. Missed this the first time around. I suspect this one won’t have as much general appeal, but some of you will have worked with someone like this. I know I have.

This weeks Charlie Brooker’s Antiviral Wipe was a classic as it included a new Philomena Cunk “Moments of Wonder”, always funny but her in depth quizzing of the expert is a classic: from 39.00 onwards…

This is genuine 24 carat solid gold genius. I’ve loved all of Down the Line since the beginning, but this lockdown special is a thing of beauty.

He’s an odious cunt. I watched a few of his little clips. I really don’t understand how this passes as comedy. I’d very much like to slap him across his stupid face.

Yeah, I can see what is happening here.

You’re too busy being offended. Go watch Tim Vine.

Ah…I see

Good lad. I’d tell you to fuck off and watch Tim Vine, but your salty tears of outrage would jam up the sprockets at Sotonians.
