Finnegan Posted 27 July 2007 Posted 27 July 2007 What an unfunny twat. About as amusing as Richard Whitely, (sp?) Bernard Manning and Carrot Top rammed into the same body.

AoWW Posted 27 July 2007 Posted 27 July 2007 Fixed! Cheers Phube . I did debate long and hard when I wrote that but my hatred lives on so present tense was appropriate! :laugh:
Daggers Posted 27 July 2007 Posted 27 July 2007 Bob Monkhouse was great. Richard Whitely was lovely. Manning was a racist dickhead, as funny as herpes. Who the **** is Carrot Top?
stez Posted 27 July 2007 Posted 27 July 2007 bob monkhouse was fantastic, his timing was the best of anyone. he was a bit smarmy and slimey, but he played on this during his second coming in the mid-late nineties Personally, I don't think there's intelligent life on other planets. Why should other planets be different from this one?When I first said I wanted to be a comedian, everybody laughed. They're not laughing now What do gardeners do when they retire? Real happiness is when you marry a girl for love and find out later she has money. My father only hit me once - but he used a Volvo. I tend to sleep in the nude. Which isn't a bad thing except for maybe on those long flights. I want to die like my father, peacefully in his sleep, not screaming and terrified, like his passengers.

Wipeout or something. I tell you who I do hate, Lloyd Grossman, what a fanneh, his cooking sauces piss me off, you get less sauce in his products than any other sauce manufacturer and at a similar price. Not enough for one big serving, not enough to use half and then the other half a couple of days later permitting the consume by clause once opened (considerably less than a woman!). Tosser, just a tosser. Nice sauce though
Webbo Posted 27 July 2007 Posted 27 July 2007 My father only hit me once - but he used a Volvo. Bob Monkhouse was a comedy god. And so was Bernard Manning.
Rincewind Posted 27 July 2007 Posted 27 July 2007 Has hev died then? Not heard. Personally I thought he was a smarmy genius. Like some-one said his timing was spot on. He learnt his trade from the old time comedians and wrote some material for Bob Hope. I saw a video in a bar once when on holiday abroad and it was very X-rated. Surprised me a little. I've seen him do a question and answer session with an audience and any subject they suggested he'd come up with an antedote or joke. Not many comedians can do that. He was great at the double-meaning jokes but I don't think he was actually racist like Bernard Manning. He was not my favourite but I appreciated the talent he had amassed over the years. Not many of the old-timers left who learnt their trade trekking the clubs and doing variety shows.

Nationwider Posted 27 July 2007 Posted 27 July 2007 Bob Monkhouse was quality. So was Les Dawson. Mother-in-law jokes should be on the national curriculum.
stez Posted 27 July 2007 Posted 27 July 2007 The wife's Mother said, "When you're dead, I'll dance in your grave." I said: "Good, I'm being buried at sea." I took my mother-in-law to Madame Tussard's Chamber of Horrors, and one of the attendants said, 'Keep her moving sir, we're stock-taking' I haven't spoken to my mother-in-law for eighteen months. I don't like to interrupt her.
Ultra Posted 28 July 2007 Posted 28 July 2007 But with the miracle that is CG:Bob Again Fair play to him. He does more good now than he did in life!
Rincewind Posted 28 July 2007 Posted 28 July 2007 If he died in 2003 that would explain why he hasn't hosted any game shows recently.
Webbo Posted 28 July 2007 Posted 28 July 2007 If he died in 2003 that would explain why he hasn't hosted any game shows recently. He'd still do a better job than Jasper Carrot on Golden Balls.
Unit Posted 28 July 2007 Posted 28 July 2007 I shit myself at the cinema last night when Mr Monkhouse was on the screen walking around his own grave. Scary stuff.
Geo V Posted 28 July 2007 Posted 28 July 2007 Ive had phases that I actually liked and disliked these old comedians. I used to watch people like Bob Monkhouse and Jimmy Tarbuck when I was a kid and then when I became a teenager I switched to the new wave of comedian but as I am now in my mid-30s, unfortunately and embarrassingly I seem to like the newer style of comedian but even laugh at some of the stuff that the old comedians used to come out with. One thing about Bob Monkhouse, he was not only the first orange comedian he also had a fantastic memory. I was amused when his book of gags was stolen and he refused to work until it was retrieved Soft sod.
