Mellie's pitches for new shows in Viz eg Celebrity Bumhole, Celebrity Shitbucket etc forecast the rise of low grade bilge like Big Brother, Love Island and Naked Attraction. He was ahead of his time!
He was THE perfect choice, NO ONE could've done it so convincingly! This is truly a case of art reflecting the real world, such a shame irony has gone out of fashion and we now have endless 'reality' cr4p instead of the quality televisual experience this provides 😁
Bobby Turkalino Too fucking right, mate. Derek and Clive made me the filthy fucker I became. His best performance in my opinion was as Mr Jolly in The Comic Strip Presents Mr Jolly Lives next door. "Just because my names Jolly, doesn't mean I have to be jolly all the fucking time". Classic Cook.
I found my father's old VHS of this well over a decade ago. It was one of the funniest things I had ever seen then, and remains to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen!
I remember getting my own telly in my bedroom and watching this late on TV, think it was Channel 4 around Christmas time?! Still got this on VHS but great to see it on here too!
Pat Kenny is the real-life Irish version.... with the added spice of him constantly being involved in court battles with his neighbours in South Dublin.
i was 19 when i first read the viz, honestly the pronannisaurus and ludicrous adverts had me in bits. I'm 51 and still laugh like a loon at these. i can't pick a favourite but Roger is high rank
This is a precious record of comedy greats separated by a generation, working together. Unfortunately it also has a niche audience because of its content, so many will miss out on the fun. Sad lol But you have made the effort to put it out there, and it will survive. Boomshanka
They're filming Celebrity Bumhole now in a castle in North Wales. So Roger's producer is an Alan Bennett sound alike. Bet he loves his chocolate digestives and custard creams.
I'm a married mum of 3 and I love Viz. Roger is genius and I own the Profannisaurus....great for reading in the bath. I have the maturity of a 12 year old boy and Viz makes me giggle like a total tit. Love this programme!
Melissa, I know your comment is 3yrs old, but I've just read it-good on ya! I'm from Australia & buy Viz. It costs us $12.95, I think I'll Steal the next one, Haa Haa.
It's universally agreed that this is the funniest shit ever. Viz could easily create a 10 episode series. Each one hour with different characters from the comic. Forget Spitting Image.
I watched this again a couple of days ago, and noticed for the first time at 16:11 that Roger has a pic of him throwing up over Brucie on the wall of his office. Fell about 🤣
@@ShadSimm It took me about five minutes to realize this was actually Cook, rather than someone who sounded amazingly like him. Wonder if Robert Webb would do Mellie well -- in Mitchell & Webb's early sci-fi comedy pilot they sounded uncannily like Cook & Moore...
cant believe i was allowed to watch this as a kid haha this still has me laughing :D miss peter cook :( R.I.P would have loved them to have done more of these :)
I miss the Viz. Young me, full of vigour earning when a pound was worth a damn and having a not so secret side that bought the Viz and introduced it to my mother. Anyone remember "Jump Jack Fanny And Her Hawka Diddly Twat" character? Or "Cockney Wanker" and " Victorian Dad"?
One of the very occasions where a comic gets made into an animation and is much better than the comic, all of which is due to the genius of Peter Cook. Ever see when Steve Coogan tried to do Roger Mellie...christ what a crock of shite. RIP Peter Cook and RIP Roger on TV.
Bernard Manning's unfulfilled dream was to appear on the Antiques Roadshow, just so he could say, "See what you've got there, do you know much it's worth?" "Er, no." "F**k all, now f**k off with it."
Used to get handme-down Viz comics fae my mate about 35 year back🔥🔥 Ty for this man! ✔️ 😀 ilovefun!🤭 Ps..my faves were biffabacon and postieplod the miserable bastd🔥
Mellie's pitches for new shows in Viz eg Celebrity Bumhole, Celebrity Shitbucket etc forecast the rise of low grade bilge like Big Brother, Love Island and Naked Attraction. He was ahead of his time!
The fact Peter Cook voiced this shouldn't have surprised me as much as it did hahaha
Harry Enfield doing another voice too , I hear
He was THE perfect choice, NO ONE could've done it so convincingly!
This is truly a case of art reflecting the real world, such a shame irony has gone out of fashion and we now have endless 'reality' cr4p instead of the quality televisual experience this provides 😁
Peter cook was fantastic
R.I.P Peter Cook... no one else could do a better Roger Mellie than him.
I saw this way back in 1997 on VHS. So great to be able to watch it again.
Harry Enfield does great voices in this. Brilliant
I love that Peter Cook proper goes for it and makes this a pure masterpiece......even though he probably only got paid £2.50.
I see Jeremy Clarkson has found mannerism inspiration from Peter, hopefully not Roger Mellie.
£2.49 8♠️
@@williamnicholson1300 durrrr
Really? Wow. I wonder how much Harry Enfield got? Ve
RIP Peter Cook. True comedic genius.
Bobby Turkalino Too fucking right, mate. Derek and Clive made me the filthy fucker I became. His best performance in my opinion was as Mr Jolly in The Comic Strip Presents Mr Jolly Lives next door. "Just because my names Jolly, doesn't mean I have to be jolly all the fucking time". Classic Cook.
Goddamn right.
Bobby Turkalino, was that really peter cook doing the voice over? Australia.
lol & ZERO tributes to Bruce 4syth...
@@Chris-Top-HerB Nicholas Bloody Parsons! 😂
This should have been a whole series in its own right. Way ahead of its time.
You said it kid what a series it would've been
40 years old and this still cracks me up
Fakiiiiin nolzeeee
This should have a billion views!
....and 30 years later, Roger is now the British Prime Minister, only less likeable....
fucking hilarious mate
Laughed till there were tears running down my legs,puts a Viz into your day
Absolute genius, I still spit my tea out at the Paul Daniels scene!
"Celebrity Bum Hole" sounds like something ITV would do today.
It does .it’s called big brother and all that other celebrity shit they trot out
@@craigpimlott204 ITV doesn't do Big Brother
I found my father's old VHS of this well over a decade ago. It was one of the funniest things I had ever seen then, and remains to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen!
Roger Mellie is total brilliance, should be made into a proper movie.
'Due to a serious administrative error at the BBC...' - that line always cracks me up 🤣
voiced by Harry Enfield
Blue Roger should be a cartoon all by itself.
Then again, there is always an error of some sorts at the BBC. There is at least one every day.
"Hello, Good Evening & Bollocks"
I remember getting my own telly in my bedroom and watching this late on TV, think it was Channel 4 around Christmas time?! Still got this on VHS but great to see it on here too!
I have it on double vhs with billy the fish
Roger Mellie's producer Tom sounds exactly like Alan Bennett.
It does and thanks for posting it has been bugging the life out of me who it sounded like
Ant p uk teacher
It’s Harry Enfield doing another brilliant voice… imagine him and Cook in a room together !
My thoughts exactly.
I was thinking Alan Titchmarsh! 😂
My mum and dad used to let me watch this wen I was a kid I fucking loved it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jeremy Clarkson has basically turned into Roger Mellie!
If they made a Roger Mellie program think Clarkson would have it
He wishes-he’s just a Poundland roger 😂
If Jeremy Clarkson and James May had a lovechild 😂
Clarkson is about as funny as a poke in the eye with a sharp stick .
😂😂😂😂
I loved VIZ back in the 80's. I often sent in my suggestions for the 'Viz Top Tips' section... They were always a frickin good laugh!! hahaha
Bloody hell, i had this on tape back in the day... Seems like another lifetime 😳
haha miss VIZ used to love the pisstake adverts in them GNAT WEST one always cracked me up lol 😂😂
GNAT WEST was spot on. Had a poster sized photocopy of it on me bedsit wall. 😂😂😂
this show needs to be made into a movie.
@Thomas Farrell
Dont know maybe a unknown actor
Would play Roger has for tom the same.
@@Dim4323 Nobody can beat Peter Cook. I was thinking of Jeremy Clarkson.
Peter Cook and Harry Enfield
6:44 "my mother in law, shes a right f***ing bitch!"

Quality. The cartoon has not aged one bit over the years.You know I always hear more than a touch of Our Rog whenever Piers Morgan is on the sofa!
Peter Cook was truly amazing 👏 😂.
I have just been crying with laughter watching this, especially to bit where Roger whips Paul Daniels rug off👍👍👏😭
That’s magic 😂
Wee hee.
“LAST ONE TO THE BARS A QUEER...”
i was 19 when i first read the viz, honestly the pronannisaurus and ludicrous adverts had me in bits. I'm 51 and still laugh like a loon at these. i can't pick a favourite but Roger is high rank
I only ever saw this once on TV years and it was one of the funniest things ever. Bollocks to that tom
I was 12 years old and I agree with you that I can not pick a favourite because I have lots of favourites.
Biffa Bacon was one of my faves lol.
Finbarr Saunders and his double entaundres is a firm favourite. Spawney Gitt, Mrs Bradey, Old Lady, (we all know one of those).
it was on channel 4. very late when they used to do cutting edge comedy like the 11 0 clock show in the early 2000s
This is a precious record of comedy greats separated by a generation, working together.
Unfortunately it also has a niche audience because of its content, so many will miss out on the fun. Sad lol
But you have made the effort to put it out there, and it will survive.

Wow! I still read Viz. How did I miss this gem?
Total classic I owned the video back in the day too ! Bravo
Rodger finally meets industry standards in 2024.
Do i hear harry enfield in this utter masterpiece?
You do
Roger Mellie. The Man on the Telly. Anything on Paul Wicker the Tall Vicar? Equally hilarious. God. Those were the days...
This is absolutely brilliant, funny as f**k and I never tire of watching it. 🤣😂
totally juvenile but oh so funny....... from the days when VIZ was funny! still a subscriber after twenty five years
Still has me laughing out loud 30 years later
Same
I'm 63,from Glasgow now in south Africa the first time seeing this 😂my ribs are killing me 😂😂,someone must do a Jimmy Saville version.

If Sid the Sexist thought about you in the bath, He'd be saying "tit's oot!".
My hometown is mentioned in the Profanisaurus 🤣🤣
It's universally agreed that this is the funniest shit ever. Viz could easily create a 10 episode series. Each one hour with different characters from the comic. Forget Spitting Image.
I only have to think of Peter Cook and I start laughing. He was perfect for this. Greatly missed. Thanks for the upload 😂❤
I watched this again a couple of days ago, and noticed for the first time at 16:11 that Roger has a pic of him throwing up over Brucie on the wall of his office. Fell about 🤣
Even though you know Roger’s going to vomit on Brucie it’s still bloody hilarious when it happens.
And I loved how Roger had a framed photo of the moment on his office wall .
RIP Peter Cook
Only Peter Cook could do Roger justice…
Boris is getting pretty close... ;)
Only Peter Cook could ever voice Roger LOL
I can’t think of anyone else in existence who could do it..
@@ShadSimm Maybe Jeremy Clarkson. Although still wouldn’t be as good as Peter Cook.
@@raflaughter3474 yup well said. He’d be a strange but almost acceptable Roger Melly...
@@ShadSimm It took me about five minutes to realize this was actually Cook, rather than someone who sounded amazingly like him. Wonder if Robert Webb would do Mellie well -- in Mitchell & Webb's early sci-fi comedy pilot they sounded uncannily like Cook & Moore...
'I'll make sure you never work in TV again, TV again, I'll make sure you'll never work in'.
god, i used to set the video to record these. they were on well past my bedtime. there was nothing like getting your hands on a viz as a kid
those were the days
One of my favourite Viz characters with celebrity shit bucket cartoon one of the gems. Newcastle Brown forever!
I have an original Rodger Mellie mug from the late 1990s, "Bollocks" , I wonder what Fiona Bruce would value for?
cant believe i was allowed to watch this as a kid haha this still has me laughing :D miss peter cook :( R.I.P would have loved them to have done more of these :)
never knew peter cook did this who did he voice keep on hearing him in roger but could be wrong
@@cawsofattitude Roger and Harry Enfield
Peter Cook you absolute legend…
Harry Enfield's best work by far.
Jeremy Clarkson would do a good Mellie.
I love how Tom sounds like Alan Bennett
Nice to see Brucie, to see him nice.
I loved how at the end he did that old reverse sentence thing . " I'll make sure you never work on TV again . On TV again you'll never work on " .
Tom has the patience of a Saint. Roger must be Impossible to work with
* patience !
Haven't seen this in years...brilliant stuff..tx for posting
Tom sounds like Alan Bennett.
My Dad had one of these tapes back in the day when I was about 7 and I snuck it to my Grans. I got into so much $h#t I did.
Amazing, loved this as a kid
Thank you this has so many memories
Is that Harry Enfield I can hear alongside peter cook?
Yeah, he was in it too 👍
How long before Celebrity Bumhole is an actual TV show?
I’d watch it
….as well as the other quiz show involving a pack of playing cards, a box of laxatives and a bird with big hooters!
I miss the Viz. Young me, full of vigour earning when a pound was worth a damn and having a not so secret side that bought the Viz and introduced it to my mother.
Anyone remember "Jump Jack Fanny And Her Hawka Diddly Twat" character? Or "Cockney Wanker" and " Victorian Dad"?
''Mickey's monkey spunk moped'' was good too.
Big Vern and Morris Day sexual pervert were good too
I remember those!
an era of proper diversity, the same publication that had Cockney Wanker, also had The Thieving Gypsie Bastards
"Oh, f*ck." - Roger
Peter Cook and Harry Enfield...🔥🔥🔥

Ho Ho .

Coogan? Really? Post the clip
Isn’t Alan Partridge the radio equivalent of Roger Mellie?
@@briansergeant no
Unique telly from a unique time
Its just facking marvelous
Just noticed the shit on the golf ball @13:16
"heh, you wanna take that one back - its fucked"
Roger mellie the man on the telly.
I hear a Mr harry Enfield doing voice work on this too
Love it get it back on the tv
This is about Jeremy Clarkson. Something about a time travel...
