+Liam Dyson I like the one where he ends up talking about pissing into the gaping mouth of Christ, and at the end, "I've finally made a joke Joe Pasquale can't steal." I'm sure I haven't done the joke justice but it was a good one.
I was glancing through comments before starting this video & your comment really piqued my interest. Once he got to the bar/beer joke I was absolutely delighted with his long set up & delivery (that's what she said?). It was well worth the wait & dare I say was even more fun for me & made better by the anticipation of "where & how will this quoted line come into play?" 💜 @moonsugarlily
Pasquale was my Supervisor in that Helium factory. I chucked it in and sodded off... I wasn't going to be spoken to in that tone of voice! #anotherstolenjoke
Absolutely love the mixed audience reactions. Genuine amusement, some forced laughter and some people looking totally baffled. Wonder if he went off stage that night and ticked off his list all the people he intended to alienate.
Fantastic. I've been a huge fan of Lee since I saw Stand-Up Comedian live in 2005. Just ordered the new DVD, can't wait for it to arrive. One of the only comedians that can always make me laugh.
We went to see him last week (23/11/22) in Soho. He cracked two jokes - one on Brexit, one he retold from 1989 (I wasn't there). The remaining 1hr 50min he had the crowd wiping away the tears as he took the piss out of us. And we had no idea.
I can remember finding Stewart Lee funny when I was about 8 or 9 (This morning with Richard not Judy) and recently I've been watching his stand up again and he seems to have evolved into something even better. I'm hopefully going to go and see him this Summer.
That has to be the most articulate, well played out pieces of comedy I've ever seen and heard. I know you can't think like this but it makes other comedy hard to match.
I remember seeing Michael Redmond years back. He said he was talking to an American who said “I’m from L.A.” To which he replied “Hello, I’m from D.” Brilliantly deadpan
This is the single best bit that I've heard in over 60 years being a fan of those comics who genuinely write their own material. Stewart Lee is the UK's best stand up bar none.
+QuorkEx that show did a lot for Irish Comdeians. Tommy Tiernan, Graham Norton, etc. It was like the Irish version of a "Law and Order"type show, but for comedians,
Joe Pasquale once stole not just a joke off Frank Skinner but a whole story, which was actually a true story which happened to Frank Skinner and his friend. So he's not just stealing jokes he's stealing peoples childhood memories lol
omg ... SO excited - seeing him live at the Festival twice this year (different shows - I'm not THAT sad!!!) ... he is beyond brilliant. And is strangely attractive ! Ladies - anyone agree ?!
I can remember seeing Michael Redmond, referred to at the beginning of this clip, around 1989 at a comedy club in Islington in what now is (still, I believe) the Garage.
This guy is a bit of a genius. A real comedic maverick. His delivery is priceless. Merciless but deserving treatment of Pasquale. I love the way he praises the other comic Michael Redmond as well.
@@ronniemac2850 Yes, but when you reread the OP's comment it is clearly referring to the joke Stewart was making about get out of my garden (of Eden) which went over my head until the OP explained it...
wow 41st in a channel 4 poll that says it all. Seriously, I am a pasquale fan, I fully appreciate your comments and hope u and channel 4 viewers continue to enjoy rod stewart lee evans or whatever he's called.
***** Well it could be both A and B, which I guess = C. Obviously I was being sarcastic, in response to your sarcasm. Then I pulled a little switcharoo, and mentioned Lenny Henry, who is about as funny as an STD. Leaving readers dazed and confused, as to my true meaning.
I fail to see the joke. You've listed yourself as Ang Lee in the phone book. I've phoned up to discuss the life and film career of Ang Lee. I don't see the connection.
Look at this!!! Look at it!!! Look at the rage in the letters!!! This is the work of a furious man. I was absolutely livid when I wrote this. A satirical attack on the work of a much much finer comedian than myself. Look at it!!! Has Stewart Lee got a comment, that he posted himself? Of a parodying bit of his own material? xXx
Arhum tariq butt It's been going on for so long, I can barely remember. But I think it was something that someone said when referring to his return to standup comedy, but people couldn't quite remember who he was; stating that some vaguely familiar person who hasn't aged all that well (let themselves go). So it's become an ongoing joke ever since...
I just had to google "how many times has Joe Pasquale made the pants up the arse joke?" and this comment came up. He just made the same joke AGAIN on Dancing On Ice. Its astoundingly ironic how a comedian can become a bigger joke than anything they've ever said.
As much as I like this piece and revisit it quite a bit, It's the first time I've noticed the audience. Particularly the man with the laugh better suited to bantering pirates or a Viking based, Kirk Douglas film with Vikings in. I can't remember the name of it, but if it comes to me, I'll tell you. *Little nod there to ripping off the Simpsons, eh, eh???
Bill Clay Great user name by the way. Good piece of improvisation by Hans. You took one look at McClane's expression, even before he passes him the gun. And you know for a fact he wasn't having any of it. Willis made that role his own. Now he looks like he'd rather be in something called "A Good Day to Stop Making Films". *Sighs, a great pity.
Bill Clay Yeah Willis is awful now. You can check out some of the press he's done for recent films, not just the last Die Hard. Him and Harrison Ford should make adverts for antidepressants
Mr Lee definitely stole the bit - pull out paper from pocket and read it. Made the delivery of the joke better but Neville Chamberlain did it originally in 1938.
HaHaHa...It took bloody ages to read through the comments and get to yours (sort order!), so I wouldn't count on getting many replies. But I got to it because apart from the ones from haters and the low-watt-bulbs, a lot of comments for a Stewart Lee video are entertainment in themselves. Good effort 😀.
Hey people, just because you like stewart lee doesn't mean you have to hate all other comedians. Lee Mack is not thick as someone said, he is pretty quick witted and his ability to come up with a lightning fast pun etc is a talent I'm sure Stew would be glad to possess. Stew works comedy from a different angle, and can be quite cerebral. His popularity ebbs and flows and is on a high right now, and like anything his style will be aped and become tired for a while, it's the way of the world.
In the audience, either both members of a couple laugh or neither. Smart people pair off it seems. Clearly, most of this went over the heads of most of this audience (and it wasn't even Stewart Lee's most cerebral stuff).
How is it possible that I just get to know this genius ! Now he is in my list of favorite stand up comedians along with Rick Gervais, Eddie Izzard, George Carlin an Richard Pryor.... Can someone please recomend me any other great comediant?
The Jim Davidson/Jimmy Carr joke was proved in court to have been in circulation before either of them were telling jokes. The fattest/fattist joke is hardly very original, anyway. Some jokes are so obvious that they are bound to have been thought of multiple times. Like the 'lost a pound/ hole in pocket one' etc
No. I was misinformed. I just checked it out. According to Carr's agent: Jim Davidson issued a letter of apology to Carr (as he'd requested). But it is an old joke. Even if Jimmy Carr thought of it independently. As I'm sure plenty of people have.
I like how he says words then says the same words again then again and then puts some more complicated words in between said words to make the words mean different things.
@freakyfadge I think laughing is a social reflex in a way. We tend to laugh more at the same joke when we are with people than when we are alone. It is partly a response to something funny but it is amplified when there are people around to hear it. Some people's laughs get on my nerves too but Stewart Lee is a funny motherlover and sometimes exceptions need to be made. I'm Irish and we can sometimes be ostentatious about our enjoyment. Thanks for better answer than tl;dr.
I love Stewart Lee's comedy ... but I get uneasy at those of his fans who pat themselves on the back because of their supposed intellectual superiority: it makes me look bad. I just think he's funny, that's all, but if you don't fair enough; we'll never get each other to change our minds.
I like how there are more Joe Pasquale lookalikes on UA-cam than Joe Pasquale clips. I also like how the few actual Joe Pasquale clips on UA-cam are recorded off the TV with a mobile phone.
I was thinking about how the Americans have butchered our language and decided to list a few 'key' words they have spelt incorrectly. I have shown the correct version, then the American version and noted the letter that is wrong: English ---------------> USA pyjamas -------------> pajamas --------- Y moustache ----------> mustache ------ O colour ---------------> color ------------- U mollusc ------------> mollusk, ---------- C encyclopaedia ----> encyclopedia ---- A bannister ----------> banister ---------- N carburettor --------> carburetor ------- T cosy -----------------> cozy -------------- S sulphur -------------> sulfur ------------ P enquiry -------------> inquiry ---------- E fuelling -------------> fueling ---------- L labelling ------------> labeling --------- L Coincidence? 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
According to Bill Bryson, who's a bit of a wordsmith, the American word "Fall" (as in the season) was used in Britain for many years, before "Autumn". Americans kept using the old word. Personally, I hate the word Fall. Do Americans have the equivalent of "Autumnal"?
zenzombie72 As a Brit I don't like 'fall' or 'Autumn. 'Fall' is more descriptive of the season, but only in specific parts of the northern hemisphere. What use is 'fall' in California or the northern territories of Canada where trees do not lose their leaves in the 'Fall'? As for Autumn....well, it's Latin for a start. Personally I like the old term of 'Harvest' to denote the season between summer and winter. Again, it's not that descriptive in certain areas but it's just a personal thing. Spring, Summer, Harvest and Winter.
@duckingforcover09 i saw vegetable stew in at the edinburgh fringe. fantastic of course, but apparently it's a work in progress to get material for his next tv series, so the show will probably be changing as the tour goes on.
These comments are priceless!!! Stewart Lee is only laying some referenced facts down regarding Joe Pasquale. If you have a problem with comedians stealing material then dump JP and watch someone original. If you don't then continue watching JP. Where on earth does this vicious hate come from!!?! Keep it coming though!!! It's almost as funny as the clip!
"Even though your home lacks the most rudimentary of brewing facilities" has to be the best jab at a person's intelligence I've heard.
Lee has always been a master at lengthy delivery with a solid gold payoff.
+Liam Dyson I like the one where he ends up talking about pissing into the gaping mouth of Christ, and at the end, "I've finally made a joke Joe Pasquale can't steal." I'm sure I haven't done the joke justice but it was a good one.

2:44 is sublime:
"Is that... Joe Pasquale... in the garden?"
The inflection in his voice and timing is perfect.
He tells it so well.

Just watched this AGAIN, truly excellent in its contruction and delivery.
His delivery simply nails it
Pasquale was my Supervisor in that Helium factory. I chucked it in and sodded off...
I wasn't going to be spoken to in that tone of voice!

Isn't the helium factory superfluous to the joke? Sorry, I don't like being a killjoy generally but it helps when the joke's not very good.

I was eaten by an alien once and I can honestly say it is not something I would like to happen to me again 😜 @@mrbenoit5018
15 years ago this was uploaded. it's still funnier than the vast majority of British stand up.
What?...You don't guffaw uncontrollably while Michael spoon-feeds his warm diarrhoea?
Michael Redmond, probably best known as "Father Stone" from Father Ted.
No I'm fine
No way
Have you seen Father Shorthall recently? He must be about eighty now..
I believe he passed away a short time ago. One of the great deadpan comics of the past 25 years.
Thanks for mentioning that. The joke was funny, knowing it was him makes it 10x funnier
The first time I saw Michael Redmond do that gag I nearly choked laughing. A great gag!
Fantastic. I've been a huge fan of Lee since I saw Stand-Up Comedian live in 2005. Just ordered the new DVD, can't wait for it to arrive. One of the only comedians that can always make me laugh.
DVD 🤣
lol dvd
We went to see him last week (23/11/22) in Soho. He cracked two jokes - one on Brexit, one he retold from 1989 (I wasn't there). The remaining 1hr 50min he had the crowd wiping away the tears as he took the piss out of us. And we had no idea.
If you had no idea, how do you know?
I can remember finding Stewart Lee funny when I was about 8 or 9 (This morning with Richard not Judy) and recently I've been watching his stand up again and he seems to have evolved into something even better.
I'm hopefully going to go and see him this Summer.
Did you go in the end?

@@Braddurs hopefully another time
If you watch the opening credits to This morning with Richard not Judy....and compare it to todays This morning opening credits its almost identical!

Every time I watch a clip of Stewart Lee, I'm always sure I can hear Armando Ianucci laughing. I wonder if it is.
"Even though your home lacks the most rudimentary of brewing facilities"

Michael Redmond of course played Father Stone in the Father Ted episode "Entertaining Father Stone".
Brilliant episode .. especially when Father Ted takes a bath
I fucking love Father Ted.

That's so unfair! Frank Skinner was going to tell his grandchildren that story. And Joe Pascuale stole it so he could sell perry!
This routine didn't make any sense when I saw Joe Pasquale doing it
Stewart Lee absolutely rocks. I love his work
I dont care what anyone thinks i love Joe Pasquale hes my fave since childhood il be seeing him live for the third time next month.
I met Michael redmond.
Good lad.
(He got out of my garden).
I'd keep him.
Cos he'd been smoking in a beer garden in Two-Tier Keir's sodding Britain.
seen this clip so many times. always makes me crack up. genius!
Oh this is brilliant...
Stewart lee has always been my favourite comedian, Legend
Still true 14 years later?
Joe Pasquale was excellent in "Goodfellers" though.
"I'm funny to you?" - menacing.

Nearly a decade later this joke may be lost on some people - since Joe Pasquale is pretty much a nobody these days.
These days...
@@Ambo100 If you say you're English...
Was he ever a somebody!
@@craigruddock3824 Apparently so: my grandmother still names him as her favourite comedian. O the vestiges of bygone squeaky-voiced plagiarists...
Psh. If he was such a nobody, how'd he get on Richard Osman's House of Games?
I love how he decided to show footage of the people in the audience who didn't laugh or looked awkward.
In fairness, I don't think that was his decision, but whoever edits the programme for broadcast. Kudos to them, however.
The concept of the ownership of jokes has let himself go.

I think this may be my favourite 5 minutes of stand-up I've ever seen.
I feel like such an idiot for only now getting the get out of my garden (of Eden) joke.
