A bunch of George Dawes clips from the old Shooting Stars episodes, including songs such as Lesbians, Baked Potato (both versions) and the infamous Peanuts.
As an 11/12 year old I could not wait for George to appear between the rounds. Like parts of Brass Eye, a bit later on in the 90's, some of his segments had me in sheer disbelief that anything could be so funny. I was rolling on the living room carpet in hysterical laughter. Class.
“Do you know there’s an awful lot of guff spoken about Snoop Doggy Dog coming from the Bronx committing violent crimes. I was actually at school with Snoop at Eaton, he was my short tennis partner, and as far as I’m concerned he was a jolly good egg” Kills me every single time 🤣
@@fterimage There's something enjoyable about an argument that's taken 5 years to play out, and still isn't over. Anyway, i'll be keeping myself updated.
Vic Reeves losing hismind in the background of the Peanuts skit has to be the best. Poor guy looks like he can barely breathe, he's laughing so hard. LOL I dont know how they get any work done.
I saw this bloke ordering when i had a Saturday job in Burger King 1998 during the Edinburgh festival. He tried to dress inconspicuously in a flat cap and matching tweed outfit. He looked like an extra from Oliver. I shouted out "What Are The Scores George Dawes!" Red faced, he tried to order a DBL Whopper Cheese Meal. We then spent about 10 minutes imitating him. Ended up just giving him extra onion rings and some pastry cinnamon swirls after I did a drum solo rendition of John Bonhams Rock n Roll on the counter tops. He ate the lot on his own the legend.
That last bit was 'George Dawes' putting his hands behind his back and sticking V's up at Vic & Bob. Note the beginnings of 'Andy' from Little Britain.
+Aston Piras you are a man of wise words, i could not agree more, this show and matt lucas in general leaves me in tears just looking at the guy. Incredible actor and even better person.
1:18 as someone who has near encyclopedic knowledge of 90s pop music that bit just made me laugh til it hurt, but reminded myself of how dated and meaningless it would be to 99.9% of people who watched it now
+Stephen Donovan Me too man. Hopefully one day we can release our inner George and live in a full way of the Doors...as the mighty baked potato hath intended!
