Yep, there goes the last down to Earth bloke who could speak his mind on TV without filtering it for the twitteratti, he gave us so many great belly laughs just for being rude in such a cheeky way that you couldn’t help but adore him for it, and on top of that, was a great stage performer and comedy writer. He will be sorely missed.
Genuinly upset when I heard this. Not often you feel like that for someone you didn't personally know. Always remembered and thoughts go out to the family and friends.
Same here. Some people just have a profound effect on you whether you knew them personally or not. I feel a deep sense of loss and sadness which in some ways seems ridiculous as I never even met him. Just demonstrates how entertaining and enjoyable he was to watch.
When you have watched the 8oo10Cats from the very start, people like him become part of your family,like all of us ,bet Jimmy is gutted.I do remember that gruff voice he had way back and thought he is not well.
I'm in the US and when I heard, I told my husband, son, and elderly mother because we watched 8/10 Cats Play Countdown and played along competing with one another. Each of us were stunned, just as if it were a family member. I have health problems and Mom is in her 80's, so we all stayed in our home for almost all of the pandemic until we were all fully vaccinated. Cats Play Countdown was a fun way to pass the time and keep our brains active. His bits about winning rectum of the year and the one about creating a Nazi Island make me laugh until it hurts every time. He was one of a kind and will be so sorely missed.
Life is not fair. People like Sean leave us at 58 and tyrannical megalomaniac assholes live until they are 95... Rest in peace Sean, entertainment is poorer without you.
I was just about to post this with a tear in my eye, but you put it so succinct and perfectly I thought I would just up your comment. Well said. RIP Sean Lock xx
Sean added so much fun to my and many people’s lives. I hope that his family and close friends always remember the best times. It’s just quite bloody sad!
I’m actually torn up, I grew up watching Mock the week, 8 out of 10 cats, countdown. Sean always was my favourite comedian on the shows, never in your face or over the top. Subtle, extremely clever, witty and just plain hilarious. With the familiarity of a good friend telling you a story. He’d tell his jokes with a casualness that it almost caught you off guard when it turned out be the funniest thing you’d ever heard. Happened every single time he opened his mouth. Rip Sean ❤️
About three years ago I was lying on the grass in Highgate Woods and in amongst all the families playing the classic ball games or letting their kids play on their own was a man setting up various hilarious races, games and challenges, getting totally involved with his kids and being so inventive. What a brilliant Dad, I thought.. then I realised it was Sean Lock. I would love to have spoken with him briefly, just to tell him how I still hadn't forgiven him for killing an imaginary budgie with a teaspoon... but there's no way I would have interrupted the time he was spending with his kids. My thoughts go out to his family right now - what an enormous loss. Rest in Peace, Sean.
So sad. Whenever I wanted to cheer myself up I would go on UA-cam & watch the best of Sean Lock. His description of watching football with your children was pure genius & kids trying to act.... RIP Sean
@@zapkvr exactly what I was saying, it's going to be so different without him. I've been obsessed with that show for a few years now. It's crazy coz I wish we had panel shows half as amazing in the USA. Sean was one of my ALL time favorites. His loss is felt over more of the world than I think he would have even expected.
That's amazing! And wonderful to hear, always nice to hear famous people you adore are cool in real life. I always got that feeling from Sean, like he was someone I could get a kick out of being around in real life.
This is such an utter shock. I still can’t believe it’s actually real. I’m American and Sean Lock is one of my all-time favorite comedians. He really shaped my sense of humor growing up and has been a huge source of joy. I am so sad.
From South Carolina USA, absolutely loved watching Sean. British humor is my all time favorite comedy and he just exuded it to a tee. 🙏 to his family and friends around the world. He will truly be missed.
American here and I'm extremely sad to hear this. He was the absolute guts!!! I prefer British humor than American humor any day and he was one of the reasons why. We'll miss you very much❤️
One of the greatest comics we've ever had. The relentless energy was astounding and his storytelling skills were fabulous. He was to the UK 🇬🇧 what Robin Williams was to the USA 🇺🇸. He was a complete one-off and there'll never be another. Thanks for the memories Mr Lock ❤ 😊
"the reason women are scared of spiders is because women have more holes than men - and if a spider wants to crawl up my hole i'll take my fucking hat off too it" Classic Lock, R.I.P my friend.
Oh my goodness. Who would click dislike? To be positive, he was marvelous. Glorious in his comedy misanthropy. A dear shame he's gone and dear wishes to his family and friends.
@Real Aiglon I'm afraid you've got it the wrong way round. The 'likes' are for the tribute, not the news that Sean Lock has passed - it should be clear, given that there are several thousand likes and less than twenty dislikes - every comment, bar one, is expressing shock and sadness...even genuine grief...which would suggest that the 'likes' have been left by those upset at the news.
Rest In Peace Sean Lock 1963 - 2021 A legend of comedy, taken away too soon. May he have the bestest times laughing up above in heaven with all the other great stars of comedy
His tapeworm song has been in my head all day since hearing the sad news. RIP Sean. I hope you have all the boxed carrots and whelks your heart desires now
I never met him and I live on the other side of the world 12,000 miles away in Australia. Despite this, when I read that Sean had passed away I was overcome by sadness to the point of becoming teary.. I think his humours outlook on the world was an outlook that I related to but more than that, he came across as a really genuine bloke..and i would like the people who were closest to him know.He made me laugh for sure..but he had a place in my (an absolute complete stranger) heart.. All my love to his family...xxx
The unforgettable ‘Carrot in a Box’ sketch, his whimsical,random craziness. Lovely man. So sorry to hear he’s not with us. Thanks for all the laughs Sean.
As a US military member, I stumbled upon the delight that is Sean Lock during a short deployment in Europe. There are no words that can truly express the joy and self love that Sean gave me over the years. There are just no words... Long live The Comedians Comedian.
My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. Such a funny guy. So sad to lose an amazing talented man. Rest in peace Sean. You will be missed by many 😭💔🙏
Oh bless him, dear man. Weeping seeing this - he provided so many laughs over the years and I think that's a great thing to be able to say: you lived your life and you made people happy and laugh, even in their dark times. RIP Sean.
Rest in Peace Sean Lock. The most naturally dry funny comedian I've ever seen. He had no need to be rude, abusive or offensive, didn't rely on bad language, insulting others or distasteful content. This guy was a genuine naturally gifted comedy one off. Heaven will now be entertained for eternity now this legend has joined them. I didn't even know he was ill so this has come as a massive shock to me. Thank you for the belly laughs you instilled in my tummy Sean x
One of the greatest comedians of them all. And someone who lifted my spirits and who had me in tummy-aching fits of hysterical laughter. Rest in Peace, Sean Lock. You were loved.
Just found out 30 secs ago. I'm gutted. Cats Does Countdown will never be as funny. Going to watch a marathon of episodes, and laugh and cry. Miss you Sean.
I only just found out, so sad and brilliant man, legendary comedian, the world is less because of his passing, nothing could fill the hole left behind by this exceptional man.
Somehow I’m grieving for Sean almost like I’d grieve for a member of my own family. The devastation hit me out of nowhere, and after reading endless comments I’ve yet to find ONE negative about Sean. That’s how much he was and still is loved. Taken too soon.
Thank you Sean, For making me cry and piss myself at the same time. You're gonna be sorely missed by all who love slightly risky but never too rude humour. The joke about his kids painting nearly put me in hospital.
Tributes from Bill Bailey & Dave Spikey (the next day) here: ua-cam.com/video/TslN3H558U0/v-deo.html
I hope he's enjoying a lovely, refreshing can of 'water' on a cloud in heaven. Rest in peace, Sean.
It's from the Thames...
Even though its just water, I'd say cheers.
😓😓😓
He won't. Heaven is just vaccum.
amber frothy water 🍺
Nothing will ever beat…. “ that’s a challenging wank”. Absolutely love you , RIP Sean.
I got sent that on Whatsapp today without knowing the undisputed champion of Carrot in A Box had left us.
best punch line eva!
Had to use the word "beat" didn't you
I come across that line the Day before he Died!...R.I.P Sean....Yes, it was very close to the Knuckle "In more ways than one"
one would assume "you've a few", mr Combs ?
"nooooo ahhhhhhh whyyyyyy, you can't write tears Jimmy"
He was absolutely right. Truly an amazing man, a sensation.
Rest in peace sean
This place is worse off without this man. Rest in peace Sean.
his death actaully brought a tear to my eye. loved his comedy and charisma

James - my thoughts exactly.
Rest in peace Sean, Legend. Just listened to Liam Clancy singing "The Parting Glass" in memory of his Irish roots ☘
Genuinly upset when I heard this. Not often you feel like that for someone you didn't personally know. Always remembered and thoughts go out to the family and friends.
Very much agree. He’s one in a billion.

When you pick a flower you always pick the best one from the field. The bad ones survive longer as no one cares enough to pick them.
@Real Aiglon Yes, but I think you can see the point being made here
Sean added so much fun to my and many people’s lives. I hope that his family and close friends always remember the best times.
It’s just quite bloody sad!
Oh that’s absolutely spot on. Comment of the week or maybe the year.
"Noooooo, ahhhhhh, whhhyyyy"
Why indeed, god bless you sean.
Carrot in a box. Funniest, warmest, most potent comic I’ve ever known.
🥕 📦 💔🖤
'That's a challenging wank' was the first thing I thought of when I heard the sad news, I hope he would have liked that... R.I.P Sean
He would be head over heels that your reaction to his death would be very funny and a continuation of his dedication to comedy.
Relates to Rachel Riley in a Viking Helmet and beard, IIRC
@@fatbelly27 Yep, that's it!
never heard that (challenging wank) but it must resonate with 99% of the populace,surely ?
This and him absolutely roasting a bunch of 8 year olds just trying to have a crack at acting are my favourite memories of him
We need to band together to ensure that Sean's wish to have his ashes spread in Piers Morgan's eyes is fulfilled
Take a bow sir 😂😂😂
He was asked if he wanted burial or cremated his answer was fly tipped
low class comment.
@@dereksteele291 here we go who asked you ! It's something he said himself as a joke on countdown 🥴🥴😵
@@chrisgeronimo123 who asked for your comment? tasteless.
I'll be raising a glass of "water" to this legend, this weekend. He will be missed.

Well put, great tribute x
Me too dude. We need a support group. The world is a worse place without him. I live in the US and no one here understands the tragedy of this :(
Absolutely spot on, and very nicely put.
This is so, so true. You've completely articulated my feelings on him.
I didn't think I would, but I'm crying now. The photo at the start, and the intro got me. I'm sorry. R.I.P. Sean.

He was suffering and dying of lung cancer, poor man, yet he still had the passion to go out and make people laugh, what a guy
So sad. Whenever I wanted to cheer myself up I would go on UA-cam & watch the best of Sean Lock. His description of watching football with your children was pure genius & kids trying to act.... RIP Sean
He was everyone’s best friend, RIP beautiful man.
Very Very Sad news , brilliant comedian , he will be sadly missed RIP Sean
His randomness was pure genius. A huge loss for comedy.
Bill looks devastated, RIP one of the best Sean Lock
I know right. I feel sad but Jimmy must be shattered. 8ootcdc will never be the same. Its a very sad day.
I just wanted to reach through from the USA and hug Bill.

What an imagination.
I heard it was like a trolley dash 🤣

truth is seals came back for him 😅
RIP and thank you for The Tiger Who Came for a Pint - still my favourite bit after countless viewings - never gets old.
I was lucky enough to meet Sean on a train, and we shared the journey. Lovely guy, and happy to chat. RIP mate.
That's amazing! And wonderful to hear, always nice to hear famous people you adore are cool in real life. I always got that feeling from Sean, like he was someone I could get a kick out of being around in real life.
Thank you for sharing. That is a very special moment you can treasure always xxx
I call absolute bs on that one buddy 🐂💩
This is such an utter shock. I still can’t believe it’s actually real. I’m American and Sean Lock is one of my all-time favorite comedians. He really shaped my sense of humor growing up and has been a huge source of joy. I am so sad.
Glad the BBC could devote a whole 20 seconds of their time to him.
Does anyone else feel like they have lost a mate? Its heart-breaking.
Yes, a lovley man. Always my favorite. From a fan in the Caribbean.
Yes have not felt like this for a celebrity in a while RIP
😥😥😥
I've never felt gutted about a celebrity's death before but I am I do feel really gutted he all ways cheered me up and gave me a good laugh R.I.P Sean
I'm an American who adored Sean, absolutely heartbroken. I feel every home in the USA should've known who he was too.
Such a huge loss not just for comedians all over the world but for humanity
What a very fortunate audience we were. Thanks, Sean ..from an Aussie fan.
From South Carolina USA, absolutely loved watching Sean. British humor is my all time favorite comedy and he just exuded it to a tee. 🙏 to his family and friends around the world. He will truly be missed.
Agreed, from a girl in Seattle. I even had a bit of a crush on him, I have to admit.
RIP Sean, not many of them left "it's funny because it's true" 🔥🇬🇧
This one hurts as badly as Rik Mayall, and I'm still getting over that.
You never get over them. Sorry. 💔
I also made that comparison. Genuinely gutted.
Right Mayall died??
This chap must have gotten so many people through hard times. Love from Canada.
American here and I'm extremely sad to hear this. He was the absolute guts!!! I prefer British humor than American humor any day and he was one of the reasons why. We'll miss you very much❤️
Sean was one of those comedians that made every show he was on better, rip
Absolutely heartbreaking. Thanks for all the laughs Sean.
I'm so sad about this. Absolutely loved Sean's humour. Condolences to his family and friends xx
RIP mate. Thanks for the laughs. You are greatly missed.
One of the greatest comics we've ever had. The relentless energy was astounding and his storytelling skills were fabulous. He was to the UK 🇬🇧 what Robin Williams was to the USA 🇺🇸. He was a complete one-off and there'll never be another. Thanks for the memories Mr Lock ❤ 😊

RIP
I've been watching Sean clips all day his comedy and legacy will never fade out R.I.P Sean
Sean was one of a kind. Sincere, heartfelt condolences from South Africa. RIP mate.
RIP Sean. You'll be greatly missed. Thanks for the laughter.
Just brilliant, such a shock Rest in peace, eight out of ten cats won't be the same without him
Oh no, I am devastated... Thanks for all the laughs Sean. From Japan
I never felt anything but good when I saw him - farewell
Still can’t believe he’s actually gone
We loved you, Sean, and always will.

Oh my gosh, what? This really took me by shock. He still had so many years left to live making us all laugh. May his soul rest in peace.
I was unprepared for this, and how keenly I would feel this loss. RIP Sean Lock ☹️
So sad to hear the news of his passing...R I P Sean Lock.
He brighted up my life that's for sure

Absolutely. I've already seen it many years ago, many times. But am just having a 15 stories binge again. ;D

I refuse to be sad. He would be insulted by my shameless emotion . He is an absolute legend. Sean Lock = hilarity.
When I heard the news, I immediately re-watched 15 storeys high and laughed my balls off. Felt like a better tribute than being sad
