watching this 10 years on seeing my man kayvan getting the respect hes always deserved. not only a stellar straight actor and comedic actor but a handsome devil to boot. love him to pieces.
i actually saw him on the tube once, it was quiet just before facejacker and i couldn't work up the courage to say hi, so i just stood in the same carriage as him to be near him lol. you know hes good when hes not overshadowed by the titan that is matt berry.
The facejacker makeup artists don't get enough love, combine their amazing skill with Kayvan's flawless accents and acting prowess and you have an amazing show in the works.
@@bluebellbeatnik4945 Tell me more about how disgusting it is for a man of iranian heritage to paint his face. Absolute clown with a coloniser’s ‘what I say goes’ attitude tries to speak for people they don’t know - you’re the posterchild for racism.
Watching this as i have recently fell in love with "What we do in the shadows" i had no idea that Kayvan had been around for so long. Such a hugely talented actor.
Kayvan Novak is one of the best comedians of our time, please do some more Fonejacker & Face jacker Stuff , i was totally addicted to those shows , and I need another fix . . Go on mate? ?
It's time for a new series of Fonejacker. With all that's happened the last couple of years, and all the clowns running countries around the world, there is a wealth of material a man this funny could come up with. Do it Kayvan. Make us smile again.
Yeah, but here's the thing... all the people who detest those "clowns" are wokeists, and wokeism kills comedy dead. Fonejacker would not be allowed today because it's be labelled racist/xenophobic/misogynistic etc.etc.
@@zx7-rr486 Mate, I'm a leftie and would f**king LOVE Fonejacker to come back! The only reason it wouldn't be made today is because I'm 90% sure Kayvan wouldn't be interested. He's older now, a bit more shy and in interviews tends to shy away from doing impressions. He's also been doing well in the US with What We Do In The Shadows, and when that's done there's no doubt he'll either take a nice break or have other stuff over there waiting in the wings.
@@zx7-rr486people don't even know what woke means do they lol. Just means to be aware of injustice and to be fair and tolerant. Can't be a bad thing. I agree Comedy now is worse than it was 20+ years ago on the whole and that a lot of comedy tries too hard to be inclusive and stuff to the point of sacrificing being ..funny. but being woke is good lol and being kind and respecting that other people who have lived different lives and have different minds to us have a right to be upset / offended by stuff is important. I love fonejacker tho lol. Sadly agree that he probs wouldn't wanna make it now tho anddddd maybe everyone is too aware of the characters and so it wouldn't work?
Been watching facejacker recently after a long few years of not watching TV and can honestly say he'd make a good Bond. If they are going with the ethinicty angle, I'd be perfectly happy with him!
+barkingbasher Firstly, if you can't spell islamofascist I have no confidence in your knowlege on the subject. Second, why on earth would having a distaste for zionist views affiliate one with islamofascism? Islamofascism may be distinctly opposed to the concept of zionism but that doesn't make one who shares that opposition an islamofascist by association. For example, I strongly agree with the concept of having time legally alotted to workers for holidays in order to combat overworking by employers, that doesn't mean I sympathise with Hitler just because he introduced that to germany.
+barkingbasher Man people like you need to understand what the fuck is happening, we have a 'Muslim' threat but it's not Ahmed in the paper shop or Yasmin in Sainsburys, it's Sunni setting up shop in your neighbourhood with a shitty Wahhabi mosque. Aim at the right fucking people at least.
Pragnant_weggy_board as a Muslim and an Iranian it's really offending for us REAL Muslims to be downgraded to the level of people like Isis and Alqaade and these sort of people. I mean Isis members these are anarchists from all around the world rather than Muslims
PC culture is now in overdrive, 90% of his act would be deemed either racist, sexist or homophobic or any combination of the three. There’s not enough safe spaces for all the sjw snowflakes to hide in.
I can think of only two times that blacking up has been tastefully done, Kayvan's portrayal of Augustus & co is one of them, he blacked up, whited up, he covered so many races and it's not a mockery of any of the races, it's their personalities that's so funny
Kayvan Novak....where is he right now? This guy is a comedy god. He makes me laugh so much. I know he's nothing like Kenny Everett but Kenny is the only comedian I can think of comparing him to. It's great fun watching him and there aren't many people that you can say that about, Kenny is the only other person I can think of that was great fun to watch.
Good news for Kayvan: after you count medals that were stripped due to positive drug tests, Iran was 12th in the London 2012 medal table, and 4th in Asia behind China, South Korea and Japan! 🇮🇷
"I'll be talking to the fabulous Cheryl Cole"...no, Jonathan, you need to be talking more to the brilliant Kayvan Novak, the funniest bloke on TV. By the way, since you pulled that stroke with that Brand doughnut, I've gone right off you. Turn the light out when you leave.
I think the only reason why it wouldn't be done today is because YT ruined the prank genre. He'd have to up the anti to keep folks watching, plus there's the risk of getting caught.
@@infinitydreamzz For Facejacker perhaps, but I think that would be more due to the association with some of the characters Matt Lucas has played over the years, Fonejacker though would be solid. And hey, who's to say they would be the same characters, Kayvan would undoubtedly have new roles to prank people as if the show came back, otherwise there would be little point. However I don't think he feels there would be a need to. Fonejacker was obviously his way to show the acting world how versatile he could actually be, now he's shown that he's off doing other amazing things. :)
@@DokkaChapman fonejacker was making fun of various world accents, 100% we can't have that today, wouldn't be allowed to make fun of a Nigerian or Indian accent on national TV
@@infinitydreamzz Claiming something couldn't be made today shows one of either 2 things: Meaning that the show was "of its time" and wouldn't be relevant enough today to make an impact or the person who said it lacks the imagination to make said premise work in the modern age.
Kayvan, new carachter for you- Someone our age, ringing teenagers these days, asking them about excercise and selfies etc. Maybe even getting dirt on their clothes lol
Kayvan is a big fish in a small pond. He deserves far more recognition than he gets.
That's very true

No wonder his accent on “What we do in the shadows” is on point! I had no idea he was the Phonejacker!
NANDOR THE RELENTLESS!!❤❤😄 His character is like a vampire teddy bear. I also love him in facejacker❤
Relentless is such a fantastic word as it could mean to relenting or not relenting enough

Underrated AF, Kayvan’s a legend lmao.
I never thought I'd see Kayvan Novak, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Sporty Spice and Tim Minchin in the same room
He's kind of like Sacha Baron Cohen.... in some ways..

100% agree with this statement!
Also Tim is an absolute talent.
Sheer genius.
The Straight Actor was genius went straight over Ross head😂
Probably doesn’t get much use out of his Kevin Spacey impression anymore
Just as Kevin Spacey phoning the BBC wouldn't get work.
🙈
Anyone else catch that “thank you bro”😂
For those of you who don’t know, that was an impression of the character he played on four lions
Ohhh that's where I know him from then!
