His and Jimmy's chemistry together is so brilliant. When the light fell off (obvs it was scripted) but their reactions with no words just minor changes in their facial expressions is just masterful comedy.
His poem may be the funniest moment recorded on television. I cannot watch it without laughing every single time, the reactions are incredible and Sean just tops it all off with “please stop”
I don't know how he's viewed in Britain, or what his level of popularity is as I only get to see him here on UA-cam, but that man should be considered a national treasure. He's absolutely genius.
No matter how many times I've seen the poem it still fills me with joy to see everyones reactions :) To cause a room full of comedians to fall into hysterics is simply genius
That poem was the single hardest I've ever seen Sean laugh on any episode of Countdown or Cats and I've seen every single one. My favourite Joe line though is still: "I told you not to have an erection" to Fabio during the banister ad.
The only moment I know of where everyone was laughing harder than that was Jimmy's "other than gloryholes" bit. Even Joe said that one was unnecessary. Even better was how it still hung around in everyone's heads on the second try at Susie's intro.
When Joe started reading his letter, I had to pause and get a tissue to wipe my tears that I knew would be arriving soon. I've heard this so many times but still can't breathe.
I can understand Sean asking him to stop cos I'm in pain right now after watching this and it's not my first (or 5th) time either. It never gets old LMAO!!!
I want to see a weird mockumentary about some historical figure (Rasputin, Lincoln, etc.) where everyone else is in character and dressed for the times but Joe has to improv as the historical figure the whole time
Respect to the crew for having a safe way to drop a fake light on cue in a studio that also has a studio audience. The Health and Safety folk must have insisted on *so* many checks, but it was worth it. Joe is king of the understated but genius gag.
Genuinely curious how much is scripted and how much the others are just told something like - “Joes going to appear dressed as something and do a bit for ten minutes”
Someone who being sad or lonely as depress: there nothing to make me happy about, I been depressed since I had problems. There nothing to cheer me up. Joe Wilkinson poem had joined the chat
i read somehwere that she got a face surgery and its hard for her to show laughter but this is the same way she laughs in taskmaster so i believe its genuine
Joe’s poem gave the world that reaction from Sean that’ll go down in his memory - and that just makes it more beautiful.
True, I've always loved how much joy Sean got from that one poem.
I love watching Sean just gasping for air. "please stop...."
NGL, my first thought when seeing Sean fall apart was "Damn... I didn't know he had already died once before!"
@@TheDylls I want to hate you for this but I would like to believe Sean would have died laughing from your comment as well.
Effing cheers me up Everytime I watch it
there is no denying Joe is one of the funniest people to appear on the show, never a dull moment when he is around
His and Jimmy's chemistry together is so brilliant. When the light fell off (obvs it was scripted) but their reactions with no words just minor changes in their facial expressions is just masterful comedy.
I remember seeing that for the first time and dying of laughter, it's a great setup even if a bit rehearsed
His poem may be the funniest moment recorded on television. I cannot watch it without laughing every single time, the reactions are incredible and Sean just tops it all off with “please stop”
My two favourite poems ever come from this show.
it’s the “hello police officer…” that just tops it off
Not being able to finish the oenis naming poem is one of the funniest bits ever on the show. Jimmy's laugh sneaking in just makes it perfect
Sean Locke laughing his ass off and asking him to stop makes it the most brilliant piece ever performed on tv
There were VERY few times in Sean Lock's career that he was speechless, and that was one of those times :D
I've got a feeling that making Sean Locke cry laughing is the best moment in Joe's career.
That poem breaking Sean Lock after two sentences will never get old.
I don't know how he's viewed in Britain, or what his level of popularity is as I only get to see him here on UA-cam, but that man should be considered a national treasure. He's absolutely genius.
He's well loved here in the UK.
Sadly the man in charge of the national treasures list has passed away 😢
Absolutely agree!!

Jons cackle after Joe finally spits out "hello police officer"
Sean Locks reactions to Joe’s poem are even more priceless now.
Just give Joe his own channel please. That man is a national treasure and I say that as an American.
Don’t think I’ve ever laughed as much as joes poem. Sean and Jimmys reactions say it all
When you can get Jimmy to genuinely laugh and Sean to almost die laughing you know you’re a top comedian, Joe is never dull and a true legend
Sean and Jimmy cracking up at Joe's poem has to be one of the best comedy moments.
And it’s the “again” when he ends saying “oh great, now I’m electronically tagged again” 🤣
Joe's poem is the greatest thing ever written
He is so talented and his commitment to the bit is awesome.
Can we have a collection of Fabio's best moments? I feel he doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
It’s already on. Just search it.
Jimmy said once that Sean was one of the hardest people to make laugh so him cracking up so much makes it all the funnier.
i never get tired of joes poem
He does raise a fair point.
Seeing Sean loose his shit over this. Shows how funny it is. RIP Sean I’m sure you are giving laughs where ever you are
*lose.
Unless you did actually mean Sean had some shit that he had stuck
The type of laughter during Joe’s poem is unlike anything you will see on TV. Pure, unadulterated, unfiltered hysterics. All hail Mrs Furnsby!
You know Joe is funny when Sean Lock loses it 😂
When Joe started reading his letter, I had to pause and get a tissue to wipe my tears that I knew would be arriving soon. I've heard this so many times but still can't breathe.
"Please Stop" is priceless from Sean 😂
I think the train and magician gags definitely earn their place in this video as well but the poem always takes the cake
The sacrifice of a stage light for a bit is fucking great
Joe is the embodiment of pure unbridled chaos.
And we love him for it
Fabio staying stone faced is impressive.
_Joe isn't just smooth, he's Wilkinson smooth._
I can understand Sean asking him to stop cos I'm in pain right now after watching this and it's not my first (or 5th) time either. It never gets old LMAO!!!
Every word that comes out of his mouth makes me go "how do you even think of that?" 🤣
I want to see a weird mockumentary about some historical figure (Rasputin, Lincoln, etc.) where everyone else is in character and dressed for the times but Joe has to improv as the historical figure the whole time
Joe’s poem was genius. His best work imo
Need to bring back Thank God You're Here just for Joe. His improv ability would make it absolutely hilarious.
The shows not the same when he's not on it,he's absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That poem was gold
that suppository joke would have made sean lock absolutely piss himself
When you have a panel of professional comedy folks pissing themselves laughing you've made it
Joes poem is THE funniest moment in the history of this program.
Sadly, Sean is no longer with us. But I genuinely thought he was gonna take a bad turn that night, laughing at Joe’s poem. Amazing television 😂😂
as a guy who has never watched this, i am now a fan laughing my ass off
Respect to the crew for having a safe way to drop a fake light on cue in a studio that also has a studio audience. The Health and Safety folk must have insisted on *so* many checks, but it was worth it.
Joe is king of the understated but genius gag.
‘Just clip it on, don’t wedge it in.’
I kept expecting when Joe was reading his poem to say this was easier to write than read
Genuinely curious how much is scripted and how much the others are just told something like - “Joes going to appear dressed as something and do a bit for ten minutes”
Never wrong to watch a Joe clips collection.. :)
Joe’s poem caused the same level of hernia inducing laughter that Sean Lock’s ‘Rectum of the year’ story did.
Only Joe could reduce Sean to a quivering mass of jell-o like that!
5:56 my personal favourite TV moment ever
Apart from Breaking bad
You know youre funny when you can make a set of the funniest people on the planet piss themselves with laughter
Rachel looks so perfect. Joe is hilarious!
Joe and fabio need a show together or to present an awards show or something pleaseee
4:06 - Joe interrupting Rachel was hilarious ahah
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I needed Joe and I needed it right now ❤️ the goat imo he's beyond funny.
Just. Pure. Genius.
He’s constantly funny man I love it
Someone who being sad or lonely as depress:
there nothing to make me happy about, I been depressed since I had problems. There nothing to cheer me up.
Joe Wilkinson poem had joined the chat
Stan Laurel... Tommy Cooper... Joe Wilkinson
The poem🙌🤣
Im from the future
Its 2050 and Channel 4 still shows these same clips in different order
Katherine Ryan’s fake laughing to joe’s poem always takes the shine off that bit
She didn’t get it but felt she had to laugh
She spit out her drink and that's possibly just the way she laughs. Lighten up ffs.
She ruins it for me! Sean's reaction builds it back up though for sure
Agree. She's not funny AT ALL. How does she even get work???
i read somehwere that she got a face surgery and its hard for her to show laughter but this is the same way she laughs in taskmaster so i believe its genuine
You missed putting "Part 1 of 233" in your title 🤨
Does anyone know what video on this channel has the clip of Joe walking on the gantry (I think), with a pair of giant swinging balls?
Strong pumpkin 01
Clever snake 30
Black tiger 20
this is not even close to his most iconic moments. it ctually contains only one of them. who came up with the title?
Careful soldier 77
8:31
Cruel tiger 67
gostei..
Enthusiastic money 98
Wow
Poetic mechanic 86
Clever girl 84
Great, some new clips!
Oh, never mind
The best ?
Gentle man 30
Wondering letter 54
Kathrine fake laugh
🫡🤣
Weak part 80
Sadly she's so fake it ruins the bit.
I guess the jokes come in a different video
it must be hard for Jimmy to watch better comedian as he is...
Y'know, maybe he should be PM
Crunch crunch
Anyone watch Joe’s poem just to watch Sean laugh?
