Have to agree, pitch perfect. Charlie Higson is a fantastic comedian, pity he was overshadowed by Paul and Simon (who are both world class comic actors) on the Fast Show as he's excellent in his own right.
@@roberth1322 I don't think he was "overshadowed" as such, iirc he has stated that he was more interested in writing and being behind the camera than acting in front of it. Have you ever heard his old band The Higsons?
"Quare together when cameras aren't shooting and wives aren't looking like a couple of probable quares" - my absolutely favourite line from these skits.
I want a version where it just goes round and round probably a quare...etc etc -> mmm yes probably but he is married of course -> * pause * -> even though he does look like a quare -> he does, doesn't he -> mmm yes mm probably a quare, mm, yes etc -> but he is, of course, married -> * pause * -> even though he does look like a quare [and so on]
Absolutely no word of a lie, David Cameron has seen my boyfriend (an incorrigible quare) in the nude Story time: this was on the evening of the day that Cameron had announced his resignation as Prime Minister. My partner, a part time quare, had a girlfriend at the time who was from a rather wealthy rural Oxfordshire family. They were at her house doing exactly what you would expect when the girl's parents got home earlier than expected, with a dinner guest So my partner goes to the bathroom to piss. The door isn't locked. It opens. Stark bollock naked, they turn around... and see David Cameron staring back at them So about half an hour later there's my partner, very much not a Tory, is eating dinner across from David Cameron, on the most embarrassing day of Cameron's career, having just accidentally flashed him
@@brendandmcmunniii269 if the anecdote is worth anything, it is as evidence that Cameron is not a quare, for he was not happy with the sight of an unexpected cock and balls
This stuff was just as good, maybe even better, than the classic Harry Enfield And Chums series I grew up watching. A very creative and extremely funny "second wind". And Enfield's talents as an impressionist really seemed to have blossomed over the years.
stephen noonan Well.....if Bunny's married and he's a quare....? Yes, so, this Stewart person...he has the hair of a quare. He probably sounds like a quare although we haven't actually Heard him. He's married and Bunny's married and Bunny's a quare....so I should put him down as a "closet quare" - is there such a thing?
@@dr.2335Now listen... if I may interject.....if one of the pare of you is married and looks like a quare and the other sounds like a quare but isn't married and is probably a quare I dare say Bunny who is a definite quare would conclude that probably the pare of you are definitely quare.
You are absolutely still allowed this stuff on TV. It isn't making fun of queer people, its having a go at posh gits. It's punching up, not down. Your inability to distinguish between tasteful jokes involving queer people, and jokes attacking queer people paints you as a bit insensitive.
The other night I randomly thought of this when I was telling one of my friends on messenger about someone who had upset me, and my friend said the person sounded "like a c##t", I sent my friend the link and we were laughing our heads off! Now we have this conversation, but replacing Quare with c##t whenever someone upsets one of us... Hilarious. We have SUCH a laugh! 🤣
Funny of you to pick up on the ‘Roberts radio reference’ Robert. I’ve no doubt that’s because you’re probably a Quare. Please post a picture of both your hair and your clothes, to confirm it.
@@decam5329 , He should have came out in the days when being quare was not socially accepted,Then he could have some credibility. He waited until no one cares wether he is quare or anything fckn else , Deffinately NOT brave, total wanka
Besides copy-write infringement, why would this be removed? Your comment suggests to me that you didn't understand the joke in the sketches, so let me explain for you. The joke isn't "haha this person might be gay", the joke is actually "haha look at these silly old fossils speculating on who might be gay, isn't homophobia silly". In my opinion, the joke is obvious, but to those who try to find "things that might offend snowflakes", it may go over their heads.
The real question here is did they get those ears from the LOTR/Hobbit sets, "Leprechaun" or from Billy Crystal and Carol Cane's outcast Jews in "Princess Bride"?
This could absolutely be made these days. Do you want to know why? It's because queer people aren't the butt of the joke. The joke punches up at posh old men, rater than punching down on queer people.
Over in Northern Ireland "quare" means quite, in some countryside localities, and is used in general polite conversation. Although this might probably just mean it's secret chat to account for them being all quares, especially all the Protestants in Ballymena. All 20000 of them are frightful quares.
@@tomvandaalen273 Tom, to be fair to Big Ian, he hasn't looked at much in a while. Unless you mean his son, and he's probably in Sri Lanka, where he can't see any Catholics at all. Anne Heseltine's a very attractive woman, isn't she?
@@tomvandaalen273 I think the Frightful Young Quares' second album, "Quaring for Britain" suffered from Second Album Syndrome. Pity, as their first was so quaringly good. To be honest even the title was a bit try-hard, no wonder it was a failure. I think three of the members, guitar, bass and drums, went on to form Blossoms, so at least a happy ending ensued. The singer, a jumped-up country boy, is in LA now, and is an embittered racist.
Why wouldn't they? Queer people aren't the butt of the joke, and anyone who thinks they are is a moron. The butt of the joke is the old homophobes. Actually, with the way the BBC is going these days, sucking up to the Tory government, they may not allow stuff like this to be broadcast, as it paints old Tories in a bad way.
