Bob Monkhouse did a corporate gig at my dad's work (Turner Brothers rubber factory in Wigan) in the 1970s. Dad used to say he didn't like watching him on TV because in real life "he was nothing but a dirty bastard". I'd just laugh, but now I kinda see what he meant.
It was different back then. In those times the only angry person in the studio would be the wife on the opposite family because he didn't say anything kinky about her.
I remember Bob Monkhouse talking about how keeping it clean was a professional attribute which helped him stay famous. But then I saw one of his stand-up comedy shows where he did adult material and it was fucking hilarious. He was the best of both worlds.
In the early US version of this show (Family Feud) that ran mid 70s to mid 80s, the original host Richard Dawson would frequently kiss and touch the female contestants. Bob Monkhouse seems pretty tame by comparison.
Let's not underplay this. If someone said to my face "wow I wish I could titty twist ya" and another person actually did it, I would probably reach a level of upset so great that both offenses weigh equally. But men probably don't ever have to get into that headspace where being threatened with sexual assault is so physically stressful that your body reacts as if a physical assault occurred. (don't come at me with "he didn't threaten her he just said meh meh meh" either, because a male in a position of power making sexual comments to a captive person who knows not a single witness is coming to her defense is ABSOLUTELY threatening)
You’re overblowing this one, as tv personalities go, he was one of the better ones. As comedians go, irrespective of ur politics, he was a genius along with Dave Allen. Both close to the knuckle, admired and missed.
This is one of those rare comments that I'm completely 50/50 on whether it's genuine or satire. Would think it's got to be satire, but the weird punctuation and full name username are throwing me off. What a rush
This ain't it man, I'm right wing and I can tell you, you don't fucking talk to someone like that. I can't imagine any period of time where I'd be comfortable with some prick making such a sly, weasely comment insinuating sex with the love of my life. It's not funny enough to warrant the weirdness of the comment.
@@thegrinderman1090I err on the side of ‘people havin a laugh’ until proven they’re actually a cunt. Tbf the word ‘woke’ being used as a perjorative has done wonders for letting me know who to utterly disregard listening to
It’s not that deep. In 1980 this was just Bob making a cheeky little comment. Honestly, no one would be upset by it. You’re putting todays shock onto something from a time before all this sensitive woke rubbish. I guarantee you no one cared
I live for these kitchen sink tangents the oldie spews out every now and then
Bob, I know you are going to take our Barbara back to the party penthouse suite, aren’t you?
“I hope so.”
😂
What chance have ye got
I hope so 👁️🫦👁️
Be careful Barbara, you have the power of life and death in your hands.

saville actually auditioned for the original family fortunes so we should actually be thanking bob for keeping it PG here
An aye for an aye. Aye.

I’ve only known of Limmy for maybe a year and I’m convinced he’s one of the funniest people to ever do it. Brilliant.
And so down to earth.
Husband should've took the dial right aff him... ❤
I love Monkhouse.
More like Bob Spunkhouse.
More like Gob Spunkdouse.
You'll never not convince me that Bob Monkhouse and Cary Grant weren't separated at birth

Bob was a beast mode shagger by all accounts. The Russell Brand of the 60s and 70s
Beast Mode Shagger sounds like a Magaluf T-shirt slogan.
Incredible riffing
Man’s a fucking genius 😂
That guys gone and am gone aswell! *clap* 😂😅

It's the XXX that gets me.
Sorry Dave
It's sad to think what goes on behind closed doors, they look so happy on TV
2:35 😂😂😂😂😂
What does that even mean

Yikes
Frequently? Every single woman and girl, every single episode
Let's be more specific. How invasive are we talking here?

Monkhouse was the comedian's comedian.
People were sassier back then.
Riiiiight... The same back then where families are too nervous and shy to say the word "sex" for an obvious answer on the board.
More fun back then.

To be fair Monkhouse was a crude horn dawg but I don't think he was dangerous.
Presenters used to say stuff like this to plain women back then, but rarely to the hot ones

It's called a throwaway comment. Today's comedians say MUCH worse.
Now this has surfaced The woke do good brigade will be wanting to dig up Bob's corpse to sack him retrospectively
