Limmy reacts to Roy Walker stand up 

The mileage joke refers to British petrol stations who would give you points for spending money on fuel which could then be traded to get products such as toasters, alarm Clocks and drinking glasses

Limmy trying to work out that first fucking joke, with his face like a sad sprout, is fucking killing me

Growing up In Northern Ireland, Roy Walker was more horrific than anything the troubles threw at us. The shame of speaking with the same accent as this man will be a stain on my soul for all eternity.

These jokes have aged like a fine wine. the ones where the lable rots off the bottle and you need an expert to identify them.

Roy has such a cool and calm delivery, he's nowhere near as animated as Mr Chips.

Late 80s humour in England was starting what appeared to be a racist joke, before taking a sharp turn to The Left. ie finishing the joke with an innocuous punchline. Thereby making the audience look racist, for jumping to conclusions by laughing pre-emptively about whatever racist shit they thought you were going to say. Good times.

Did well for himself Roy. Had a shop in Belfast which he was forced to close after being threatened at gun point for being a Protestant married to a Catholic. Moved to England and started from scratch again.

I was 15 back in 1995 and saw Roy do a show on Blackpool pier, thought he was funny, he made a joke like " where I grew up was really rough, even the dogs carried sticks with them" it was his confident delivery that made it funny.

He so confident he can wait all day until you’re ready to laugh.

He's the same age as Limmy in this video. (47)

Despite the jokes being naff, Roy is so confident and assured that he makes you believe they're good

A set of drinking glasses would have been a prize from petrol stations for vouchers received in exchange for buying petrol.

New drinking game - take a shot every time he pauses a video.

Man limmy is rent free in my head, his character and humor fills me with so much relatable joy

Limmy stepping on this comedy genius's pacing hard with the pauses.

Michael Laudrup is a great comedian

Roy most likely got paid £50 and his cab fare

Mind that time Nick Weir fell down the stairs on Catchphrase? What a knob. 😂

My mum and dad still have the Esso tumblers. Certainly put a tiger in their tank.

He's got the funny bone

Great set, what a pleasure it would have been to see him.

I was born in 71. Roy Walker (pre-Catchphrase) had a very dry, dead-pan stand-up delivery. I even remember, at the time that Catchphrase started, thinking, why have they got him on? It'll be depressing! Obviously, it was all an act, and I loved Catchphrase! It looks like, at this point, he's having to balance the dry, dead-pan delivery with his Catchphrase persona, which most people watching, would have known him for.

I can see that being a new game show. Limmy Deciphers old jokes like Indiana Jones lol 😂😂

The shampoo joke is that the chemist impregnated the woman in the advert in exchange for the right shampoo

This is comedy genius compared to everything else on 3-2-1

He's quick this Jock, isn't he?!🙄

Father-in-law level comedy

Roy trolling the audience back then with the "omg, Walker is going to do a racist joke". Limmy still falling for it

The shepherd and telegraph pole ones were great

Cross over of the 321 and Catchphrase universes? It's like fucking Avengers man.

This is like the tng episode where they get the 80s comedian on the holodeck and Data and Riker are dumbfounded when they hear his jokes and don't understand them.

The confidence of Roy, the absolute chad

shepherds spy is a great joke, also limmy at 10:30 i love it when he goes super scot

People look so much younger now. The average age of Roy's audience here was 24.

Ray Walker was/is a great stand-up, but to be fair, the shepherd spy joke is not original. It was nicked from the 50s radio show The Goons and only very slightly altered.

Nick Wier is the Catchphrase host who fell down the stairs in the first week of the job.

Roy is mega deep here. Earning every penny.

Yep, I got the garage token thing. It's probably the first time I've ever thought about it since then. I remember my mum and dad having the tokens collected up. The set of glasses would have been some faux crystal chandeliers

He's like Norm MacDonald

Limmy needs his own Quiz Show: “What Am I Thinking?”

Jeez, that was painful Limmy. I thought your 80s barometer was decent

Not gonna lie, the shepherd spy gag made me chuckle.

You've definitely an intelligence, of a certain kind.

A 'set of' glasses not a pair of glasses, complicated (A dash here and there, it depends what's under the bonnet 🤔🚗) it will probably be a Tea's Made)

that tour de france joke made me chuckle

To be fair, cheesy topical jokes do tend to go off over the course of 36 years.

Esso filling stations were giving away free wine glasses for petrol points.

In the early eighties, Roy Walker had a really deadpan delivery - almost like Father Stone from ‘Father Ted’.

There was ne racism limmy. Ya take it back.

Before Roy Walker did Catchphrase, he was highly successful in the show the Comedians

I was working in Warner hotels and he was there doing a show. Anyway, I thought he was a taxi driver

Limmy making a spectacle of himself

He was way funnier on catchphrase.

@VeronicasMidget Thanks Limmy, Roys joke has been bugging me ever since I first heard it in 1987. It's nice to finally get closure.

I think the joke would have been better if he'd said 'crystal glasses'

I love this - I do what limmy is doing here in my own time - so to see this is just gold. Old tv man. Fuck.

4:40 I love the philosophy dwelling under this situation. How can people possibly ever understand Skibidi Toilet in 100 years what other things

I have a sneaking suspicion that a producer friend of Roy's got him a presenter gig, simply to get him off the comedy circuit.

This stand up is now iconic

Search 'petrol stations collect coins 70s' and you'll get the answer. It's really that simple.

Some fucking air of menace Roy Walker has there 😳

Roy Walker allegedly in his mid-40's here

If you’re no laughin’ it’s your fault.

Someone should show Limmy the clip of the guy that disney understand that a kilogramme of feathers is the same as a kilogramme of steel. I wonder how long it'll take him to get that one, if at all? 🤔

His jokes were as old as the hills even back then

I remember my mom waiting 8 months for some glasses from Tokyo!

Thanks for explaining the joke I'm form 1988 and didn't have a clue.

Greensheild stamps. You got stamps for every gallon you purchased. If the car does 500 mpg it would take 20 years to get enough stamps for a set of drinking glasses. That's the joke. It only made sense when greenisheild stamps were a thing.

He won't admit, but limmys chimp brain liked the butchers joke!

When limmy laughs you know it's a banger.

Roy looks like Richard Gere here

Green Shield Stamps

I understand limmy more than i understand these jokes

Love roy walker

Shepherd's Pie. Shepherds Pie. ShepherdsPie. ShepherdSpy. Shepherd Spy.

Fucking hilarious man … Roy Walker is a genius 😂

The telegraph pole bit was decent

Scotland has brought us still Still Game, Billy Connolly, Burnistoun, Karen Dumbar, Scot Squad, Chewin the Fat, Rab C Nesbitt and Limmy. Proud to be Scottish! 😂

Yeah so it's so fuel efficient that you wouldn't get those points to get some drinking vessels, really really funny

Sips left the dad garage

Limmy showing he doesn’t get it too is helping a lot lol

I love you so much for uploading these, I missed a lot of this due to work so catching up this way is lovely. I do miss the chat though!

This guy was one of the reasons heroin spread so fast in the 80's

The shepherd spy one got me

10 years to get a set of glasses. Because you used to get tickets every time you put petrol in, save enough tickets, get a free set of glasses.

He created the Catchphrase pictures on MS Paint according to Wikipedia

Ten years? Baby? Miles to the gallon? Glasses? Ah dun geh eet.

Ahhh humour really is timeless, isn’t it

I've got some green shield stamps if you want them.

1:44 It's called the Go-shiba . . . Now i drove the car, and I wasnt the Queen of anything after it (First joke that came to mind when Limmy freezed it) Better joke ?

shepherd spy

Say what you see. If you see it, say it!

no more tears shampoo?

Why do you keep stopping it?

Never understood the clues on 321, they were insane!

he had a lot of material on his brother-in-law

thank God for challenge tv

Quitting comedy was a wise move, chap is pure twitch

Jesus wept, fuel points to get 'free gifts', what teh feck...help ma boab!!

Was Limmy referring to sips the yogscast streamer?
