I think of Jo Brand like I think of a Bengal tiger. To encounter a tiger, up close, in the wild, would be terrifying, thrilling, fraught with the potential for being either totally annihilated or regarded as a curiosity, depending on its mood and whether you annoy or amuse it. But viewed from the safe remove of bars (the tiger) or the internet (Jo), then oh, what a magnificent and awe inspiring creature!
I love Jo so much. Definitely going to play that Christmas game this year. Luckily, we'll be around the pool then. Some cold water would be just the thing.
According to her wikipedia page, she's written two. Look Back in Hunger. The Autobiography (2009) Can't Stand Up For Sitting Down. The Autobiography - Part 2 (2010)
You can tell how intelligent she is from the speed she answered "prime number 1 more than a square" - compare to the average celebrity e.g. a Cats Does Countdown player.
This is completely true, once I was walking to the Co Op, and there was a complete, raw, rack of pork ribs lying on the ground outside the car park. It utterly bemused me as the Co Op doesn't sell complete racks of pork ribs (it's a very small Co Op). I never found out what happened to it. But mince...no.
An error in the description of the video: it says on 29: something the story would be about the cake but instead it was about her and her husband. There is no cake story
First time I saw the 3rd segment where she talks about the 'Mince' i though she meant 'Mints' like a mint candy or something like that, not mince meat. this has a whole new angle for me to think about now. Ew...
If you're going to watch British TV, you *have* to be up on your British jargon. I mean, I assume you didn't know Spag Bol either or you would immediately figured out it wasn't candy.
@@bcaye Spaghetti is an easy guess. Whether it's "bowl" or "bolognese" is irrelevant. But since "mints" is a thing - and far more plausible to find on the street - the confusion becomes "Why put mints in spaghetti?" Considering other spellings and definitions wouldn't be your first instinct. I mean if you weren't familiar with the Americanism, the phrase "I found rubbers in my 11yo daughter's room" has a very different but perfectly plausible meaning.
Can someone help me I'm trying to find a Would I lie to you? clip but have forgotten which one it is. All I remember is a panelist on Lee's team reads out a card, and it's such a weird thing that David stutters for a few seconds and ends up just asking 'Why?' Anyone know what clip this might be??
I forgot how sexist this show used to be. I remember David having to call out angus deayton for his misogyny towards anne widdecombe's looks. also as another person mentioned, the way the men reacted to her talking about smear tests (like babies who can't cope with the adult world - mostly lee!) and bill bailey's reaction when jo suggested she was balancing the tray in the bath on a part of herself that wasn't her knees. come on. you're grown men not 16 year old boys. must have been a nightmare being a female comic on with these back then. at the same time, this is one of the more progressive shows.
I dont mean to be insensitive but can anyone confirm if it is illegal to drive with a hearing impairment? Or in other words, can you apply for a drivers licence being hard of hearing? 😮
I don't understand the 'which one did you go for?' question by Lee regarding Jo cooking spag bol or macaroni cheese. I thought it was a straight forward question but everyone reacted like he was jesting. why?
I've not watched (literally paused while commenting) If someone's brave enough to watch this entire thing and then tell me how many times she mentions her husband, that also involves other references. Let me know and I'll transfer you the money to buy you your favourite pint in your local. 👍
@@robertpartridge7267it's a different joke everytime? Saying her entire comedic presence being a disgruntled wife is bad is the same as saying David's entire comedic presence of being a repressed mindleclass smartass is bad
@@robertpartridge7267 she's very funny. i miss her jokes about men but then she started to listen to self centred cry babies like yourself and stopped telling those jokes.
Jo is about as funny as Police arresting an Autistic child. She likes to belittle men like she is some sort of catch herself. When I first learnt she was in mental hospitals I actually thought she used to be a patient. If you listen to her she has this annoying habit of saying 'erm' after every joke she attempts, and we can't forget she thinks it is funny throwing battery acid in someone's face. There has been some funny comediennes over the years but Jo is not one of them.
Oh fuck off. If you don’t like her, don’t watch this video; it’s very simple. Then you wouldn’t have to see someone you don’t like, and the rest of us don’t have to see your inane bullshit.
I like humour and progressive jazz and knowledge - with an edge - to it. The edge has to be there - and Jo is carrying her small sword - with her and its fine. Taste in food - is individual; as well as humour, is. And that is fine. Fare thee well
