    "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.

      +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

    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).

    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

    • @ZER0--

      +moodini99 Did it really go to court?

    • @moodini99
      @moodini99 9 років тому +5

      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.

    @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

      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

      ***** Is Autumn used as much as Fall?

    • @craiglaw7349
      @craiglaw7349 9 років тому

      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.

    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!
