Random Person #1 - "What's it like to walk in Space?" Buzz Aldren - "Well, i'll give it to you straight, like a Pear Cider that's made from 100% Pears"
I'm unsure if it's been mentioned here, but this routine eventually made up the basis of his little read novel, 'A Perfect Fool'-as well as the 'You're a mentalist' Alan Partridge episode, which is nice. The guy who offered him a mattress is now also radio DJ Christian O' Connell. You probably all know this, but I had to say it somewhere yoi know?
In an alternate universe, this video is called 'Stewart Lee - ''I've Fucked A Pig'''.. In this universe, everyone gives it to you straight, like Pear Cider, that's made from 100% pears.
He's like Tim Vine on amphetamines. Qup,quip,quip,quip,quip. (I think it was five, when he dismantled Tony Parsons' criticism of him in the GQ article.)
I found Buzz Aldrin a tad arrogant when I met him; “Weren’t you the 2nd man on the moon?” He replied “Yes. Kneel before me.” That how it sounded, anyway.
The best thing about this video is that it features Stewart Lee. The second best thing is that it looks like it is recorded on a really old vhs. There are people alive today who don't know what a vhs is. Damn I'm old.
The only way anyone would forget what vhs is is if all of you people who won't shut up about how no one knows what vhs is would finally die. Until then, everyone knows what vhs is.
I know it's only a bit of stand up, but it does seem like Neil Armstrong came back from the moon with the attitude "the world has no thrills for me now" but Buzz Aldrin seems very much like "come and have a go if you think you're hard enough"... just a thought
The "pig sex story" is quite ironic - given David Cameron's alleged escapades and the episode of Black Mirror. Seems to be quite a common comedic troupe.
I read the pigs version of this and she was a bit embarrassed. She had wanted to ho into the family business but times were hard. She just wasn't bringing in the bacon. She was naive, was told by her agent it was going to be a wholesome cross between the sound of music and Babe pig in the city. She bounced back later though by getting a job on the Muppet Show. She was coy about which part she played. But said the wig helped her separate her two careers.
Jerry Seinfeld, Brian Regan, and Dana Gould all did a joke with the same subject matter. Lee's version includes bestiality and rags on Schwarzenegger's film project choices. I don't think they are the same at all.
+Harmony Jones Wow, this is strange. I was responding to a person who was asking because he/she couldn't understand what he said, but now my comment is not attached to OP's, like it's a single comment. Anyway, yeah, Stewart Lee is awesome
@catatonicable You sound like you have a bad sense of humour. His first comment to you was just a light hearted joke and you return it with abuse? It's fine if you don't like Stewart Lee, just don't come on one of his videos, declare that it is objective fact that he is a 'seriously un funny git.!' and then get unnecessarily defensive when someone contends the claim. The way you've reacted, I don't think you are in a position to be making judgement about the comedic capabilities of others.
***** She says "Ah, it's nothing" -- it's Lee's way of making the audience realize that, while the internal logic of the joke suggests it's the woman who's had sex with a pig, in real life, no woman would ever tell a stranger this while sitting next to them on a bus. "Ah, it's nothing" sort of works to at once both fulfill and subvert the expectations of where he's going next, although, to my mind, the muted response it gets from the audience suggests it didn't quite hit.
Stewart Lee is always saying people stole his jokes. I haven't seen the Whitehall stuff but I know he said the same of Gervais and the stuff was just the same subject not the same jokes. Who knows if Whitehall seen this as a kid and didn't realize he was writing a bit he's actually seen? Its very possible.
Stewart Lee's website has a section called Plagiarist's Corner, where he showcases side-by-side clips of other people's material that's very similar to his own. The real joke is that in about 40% of cases, the other guy's material actually predates his, making him the "plagiarist." Younger comedians often insist people are stealing their jokes; older comedians know that different people come up with the same joke all the time.
@@conalquinn5276 No, if you read was written, that is deliberate. He knows sometimes comedians sometimes tell jokes very similar to older comedians' older jokes; the bits where he's "plagiarised" others or even himself are to show this is the case: to show it's not plagiarism or nicking but something almost every comedian does inadvertently.
@Cloudlesssoul Thanks for the psychoanalysis, it is still not funny, I dont think a bad sense of humour is a correct term, there are types of senses of humour but non are bad, anyway get back to your Barbies its nearly bed time.!
I love Morrissey's older stuff
same here, and it turns out he had wanted to go to the cinema with Ian, but he didn't have a stitch to wear
Like 'Men Behaving Badly'?
The way he licks his lips coyly is very retro-Moz
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I didn't know General Ratko Mladic did stand up
He’s a clever bloke, this Stewart Lee because he makes my view different. In a good way.
Finally a clip I've not seen ❤
Oh no
I've seen this now too

+Daniel Brabban No kidding?
Re the mentalist sketch; Richard Herring has a go at Coogan about this (and the origins of Partridge) on his podcast RHLSP.
@@popitinpeteyeah I've seen that, i didn't know they were script writers on Alan Partridge until I saw the podcast 😜

The origin of that Alan Partridge segment where he visits the obsessive fan.
dfarmbrough
Yep. I immediately thought that too.
Didn’t he help create Partridge?
@@tdurb0 He did indeed.
I'm your biggest fan Alan
I think the concept has been around for a while. I'm pretty sure it was part of a film in the 60's.
When I saw whitehall at Leeds fest a few years ago he used this exact joke.
And the genius of this is the fact that you are conditioned to expect a punchline; but the punchline is actually the entire story.
Way over peoples heads that statement hence no thumbs up
You're really climbing the towers of academia with this one, you big genius you
It’s amazing how much better he is now though. Maybe not so much amazing, as understandable and logical.
He's like Tim Vine on amphetamines. Qup,quip,quip,quip,quip. (I think it was five, when he dismantled Tony Parsons' criticism of him in the GQ article.)
He's so fit!
I found Buzz Aldrin a tad arrogant when I met him; “Weren’t you the 2nd man on the moon?” He replied “Yes. Kneel before me.” That how it sounded, anyway.
I saw what you did there...
This is the joke that first made me appreciate the true genius of Stewart Lee.
"...latest comedy vehicle" .... hmmm....
Ah, Stew on vinyl.
See those ten life size posters of Stewart Lee have really...well you can get the rest.
Anyone got a link for the Jack Whitehall clip wherein Jack (allegedly) steals this routine almost verbatim?
he has definatley got better with age
@Matt Jones my grandad got better at dying
@King Cobra aye, all the top athletes are elderly
You have to appreciate how much sprinting he does on stage these days.
The best thing about this video is that it features Stewart Lee. The second best thing is that it looks like it is recorded on a really old vhs. There are people alive today who don't know what a vhs is.

I'd love to see Jack Whitehall's version of this. Apparently it was taken down very fast after it became apparent that he was nicking Stew's material.
The audience, the comedy central stage, the set design, the sound and lighting and the cameras have not let themselves go......
I know it's only a bit of stand up, but it does seem like Neil Armstrong came back from the moon with the attitude "the world has no thrills for me now" but Buzz Aldrin seems very much like "come and have a go if you think you're hard enough"... just a thought
PIIIIIIGS IIIIIIIN SPAAAAAAACE!!
I saw Stewart Lee in a Kebab shop in 1992 ... he had already let himself go

This was made before the revelations about David Cameron. Stewart Lee the prophet...
Didn't know David Cameron was a Catholic nun.
Jack Whitehall likes this
1:00 comedy vehicle!

It was a male pig who nailed the two nuns.
I’ve walked in space, but it was upon the planet Earth in space.
do you know if he asked permission from Stewart lee?
I love Mladic's older stuff
I saw him use a steven fry anecdote on a comedy central special in the states.
Well it was inevitable if two titles for the video I guess
I wonder if David Cameron saw this sketch?
What exactly was Whitehall's routine? How similar?
Black Mirror pilot episode, anyone?
@TCt83067695 Whitehall's management company removed it very quickly from youtube. Make of that what you will...
That young man has let himself go
Back before he let himself go
Defiantly holding himself together if anything.
17 dislikes. I see the Cameron’s have been active.
where's whitehall's "rendition" of this?
did he steal this or something?
I wonder what came first... this sketch or ‘I walked on the moon’ by a great Canadian comic. Could just be a similar story...
Jerry Seinfeld, Brian Regan, and Dana Gould all did a joke with the same subject matter. Lee's version includes bestiality and rags on Schwarzenegger's film project choices. I don't think they are the same at all.
Black Mirror is everywhere
Stew is everywhere!
I had it uploaded on my account but his management put in a claim. Typical..
Ratko Mladic's looking well!
At that time he would've been doing unpleasant things in Bosnia.
Dunno who this man is but he doesn't look fat.
Or depressed.
Or both fat and depressed.
+brabnb she says "oh, it's nothing...", probably referring to the pig hahaha
+Cazé Nunes Yes that's right. That's the punchline. Ehehehe. I love Stewart Lee :)
+Harmony Jones Wow, this is strange. I was responding to a person who was asking because he/she couldn't understand what he said, but now my comment is not attached to OP's, like it's a single comment. Anyway, yeah, Stewart Lee is awesome
the ol bait and switch
Jack Whitehalls let himself go...
@catatonicable Hope your 2011 is magical! ♥
And yours babes x
So that's what it's like being david cameron
Now THAT is a joke :)
Greetings to my fellow Election Prophets
Jack Whitehall is hilarious, though this footage was filmed on a pretty bad camera.
@catatonicable there you go again! and there is no cure. it's so sad
Joe Pasquale has let himself go
Terry Christian is looking well.

In a way, nothing has changed about Stu over the years. Same dry, surrealist, edge-of-the-seat, riffing improv.
Then the jaded couple got off the bus - and got married in Vegas - awww!

I feel like if this clip had been 10 years later, Stew would have explained all of this himself as part of the routine.

lol thats where jack whitehall got it from . . .
@jataylorlfc Ha
Bill Ryder Jones has let himself go.
Hahahaha
I don't get the punchline.
A pig that had sex with two nuns has let itself go
*himself since I'm guessing it was a male pig
Mark Lamarr has let himself go
Far more likely would be:
"I've had sex with a pig, next stop number ten"
hahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhaha
He predicted David Cameron
yeah.. woody allen stole this too .. except applied it to a jewish guy in new york
Analog horror
She's says "Nah, it's nothing". The joke is that she has had sex with a pig but doesn't want to tell the man.
The joke is he avoided the obvious punch line.
This is all lies.

Hope you've stopped being so obnoxious in the last 8 years.
How the fuck has this not being thumbed down in 50,000 plus views??
Glad to be the first. Unfunny shite.
Good for you, darling. You're very special.
Seriously un funny git.!
