Genius S01E06 (BBC2) - Stewart Lee 

joking about people letting themself go has let itself go

People's ability to comment on Stewart Lee videos without referring back to his classic material - especially by suggesting that some person or other has 'let themself go' - has let itself go.

I really like Stewart Lee. Aside: I don't really! Sotto Voce: I do really, I was just making a meta-narrative reference understandable by a minority of readers

Stewart Lee has let himself go, onto the Dave Gorman genius show. As you can see for yourself

That woman who threw a cat in a bin has let herself go

" I don't want David Cameron in charge of the darkness"

Love the way Dean has predicted 8 years early correctly the opening dialogue between Stewart and the audience on the current Shark Tornado Snowflake tour.

The look on Stewart's face when he heard the phrase "virtual reality headset for chickens."

the choir being conducted by a keyboard is like aphex twin's remote orchestra.

I'm surprised Stewart Lee had time out of his busy schedule to do this show considering the two businesses he has to run in Crapstone and Shitterton.

He couldn't cut the mustard on a panel show.

I'd love to see Stewart Lee and Dave Gorman co-write and perform something. I think their styles would be a really interesting mix.

Freddie Starr, those blue remembered hills where I cannot go again.

Always great to see Dan from Dan and Dan. His Daily mail song is also genius

The premise of the ideas are so left field making the jokes obscure but refreshing.

A TV show that had both David Gorman and Stewart Lee! It's like the BBC wanted to go out of their way to make me happy!

Robert Mugabe has let himself go...

I can't believe no one laughed at the socks reunited joke about socks getting divorces and stuff. Friends reunited!? Ass Lee might say - you're going to have to raise your game!

Wow. People take this show far too seriously. It's not meant to be a discovery of the next greatest inventions. It's meant to be a silly show with silly ideas.

24:22 That girls face when the candle lights.... and she forgets to sing... lolol

Nice to see Dan on Genius, but he could've brought Dan along..

delightful animation, dave gorman, it keeps getting better.. where does youtube find these for me.. i was about to go to bed

That piece of sushi has really let itself go.

I recognised Dan from The Daily Mail song.

I find Simon's proposal of virtual reality headsets for chickens all the more concerning because I suspect that 'chicken' is a metaphor for a certain race of human. I have made some deductions from the film 'American History X': The protagonist, Derek, is a member of a Neo-Nazi group lead by a man called Cameron. Derek is sent to prison where he gets bummed. This changes his views on Cameron and the Neo-Nazi group. When he is released from prison, he sets about leaving the group. He confronts Cameron and calls him a 'snake' and a 'chickenhawk', before beating him up and leaving. In a deleted scene set in a fried chicken restaurant, Cameron is conversing with his loyal sidekick, Seth. Seth is character based on Gabe Newell, head of Valve Software, and the scene contains numerous metaphors regarding the theft of an idea that would become one of Valve Software's most popular titles, 'Counter-Strike'. This game has a number of chicken references in it, all encouraging violence and aggression towards chickens. They are planning to release a virtual reality headset called 'Steam VR'. Plus theres Bruce and 'Abe' the film 'Looper', and Goose Gladwell and his 'loopy lawyers' in the Simpsons. 322 Skull & Bones plundering your ideas, Illuminati confirmed.

Jacob Collier has done the keyboard thing with an orchestra.

"with an eskimo face, off of the 90's"

A Mellotron keyboard or a synthesizer with sampled voices weren't mentioned (I'm certain the latter was faked for the programme)

Err.... The virtual reality helmet for chickens was deemed NOT Genius, but was still included at the end when Stewart Lee had to decide who was to win the award. Eh? This. WILL. NOT. DO!!!

A genius does indeed know how to get the information very easily, but to dismiss genius because someone does not know every bit of information there is to know is stupid Did mankind evolve from monkeys or a fish?

Haha! I wish there was some way Stewart could see this comment!

If only Stew had kept up the treadmill.

I find Dave Gorman boring, he is just not a comedian in my opinion, there seems to be something missing in his comedy, laughs for starters. He should have been a geography teacher.

Best double act still going. I can't believe he tricked Dan out of his idea though!
