A story assigning blame for his disillusionment as an adult and the best nervous breakdown I've ever seen. PURE GENIUS from Stewart Lee's DVD - If You Prefer A Milder Comedian, Please Ask For One.
Buying stuff isn't how money works any more, it's not wrong to watch things for free at all. You're not taking money from anyone, because none of us can afford anything to begin with. Nobody lost a sale. If they wanna fix capitalism, then maybe I'll worry my morals about watching free stuff. Until then, screw it be realistic.
Ohh the irony. Watching Stuart Lee talk about pirating his stand up on the internet on a pirated video on youtube. I felt bad and immediately ordered one of his dvds haha.
Yeah, everything Lee does is dowsed in layers of irony as well. He stands there absolutely abusing his audience for who they are, and what sort of audience his comedy attracts, whilst there's no way most audiences could appreciate how funny that is.
How did you asertain what that particular lines rating was? and how have you come to the conclusion that it has under performed? I've read through the comments and there are a number of people who have specifically referenced that line and said they enjoyed it immensely, but alas none of them have given it a rating.
Kamu-yamato Iware-biko no Mikoto, also known as Jimmun, first recoqnized Emperor of Japan in the 7th Century BC, had a dog called Kyo, which as we can see here has let itself go.
I found this routine unbearable for that exact reason. he’s just repeating the same joke over and over, each time changing the details slightly. is that hilarious comedy, or is it lazy? I suppose if people laugh, it’s hilarious comedy, but I don’t rate it. at least when he does this in other routines, there’s some kind of social commentary or the joke is stronger, here it’s just a fairly weak meme-esque joke repeated x times
@@imamoronand9199 fair enough, i can understand that. for me it's all in the delivery and his sputtering and starting etc. helps that it's filmed so we can see his proper full expressions also
Now I'm really pissed off. The first time I saw that advert I said to my wife, who was watching as well, "he should have said pears not pear". If only I had gone just that little bit further and constructed an elaborate back story for the phrase worked it into a stand up act and taken it to a Glasgow audience I could be getting all this praise. But no, I just let it slide as most you who saw it probably did, so now I have to live the rest of my life shackled to the certain knowledge that I could have made something of myself instead of plugging away day after day, year after year for very little money and no thanks at all, digging these stupid pears.
He is incredible, but I wouldn't say the greatest body of work. That probably goes to Prior or Carlin. Potentially CK. But yeah Lee is definitely up there somewhere.
"there is no need to film it mate, we have 8 cameras here" hahaha you can see when lee decides stop carrying on and deal with that. hahaha first class comic
He wrote it and learned. And the bit where he says 'one massive pear' - wrote and learned. And the bit where he's going like blah-blah-blah ... - all's written down and learned.
@@Gvozd111 He's not a plant actually. I just googled it and there's a newspaper review of the gig, they assumed he was a plant too until they realised they actually knew the guy (he was a friend of the reviewers). Could be the reviewer is lying I suppose, I don't see what they have to gain though. It is a pre-planned response in a way though, it just happens often enough (someone pulling out their phone to film while he's wandering through the audience) that Lee has a whole perfectly executed response to it by this point in the tour. The first time it happened his response probably was shorter, more off the cuff and less of a 'moment' in the show, but he's done it 50 times by this point so it's fleshed out and honed to perfection. He's said himself that by the end of a tour the show is largely comprised of adlibs built up from previous performances.
I think it depends on whether the ingredient in question is an established flavour entity in its own right within the culture e.g. mint, apple, pear, mango, kiwi, onion, grapefruit. For established flavours it's better to not pluralise e.g. ice cream with 100% coconut sounds better than 100% coconuts; as the plural nature is inherent. But for less established flavours (difficult to allocate) an energy bar made with 100% raisins sounds better than 100% raisin or a tapenade made with 100% olives sounds better than 100% olive. In common use, does the ingredient act solo or in a gang? 100% chives instead of 100% chive works better because no-one eats one chive.
Love this every time I see it... and, I'll give it to you straight, like a Pear Cider that's, well, you know... being from Birmingham, and of "that age", I know (knew) Summit records, my parents worked at Cadbury's, hung out a bit with UB40, even. Genius!
I find it funny that people think you can't like both Stewart Lee and Peter Kay. I find enjoyment from both of them, just in different ways. I think it's arrogant and quite annoying hipster-like to think "Oh I can't like an observational comedian if I like Stewart Lee". I love them both.
yes, he is, as is the lady standing up - it's all scripted. Earlier on n the show he even says "everything, there, that there, was scripted. so was this. And this. And this bit. and this bit here. And this bit of me going MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU that was, too. And this. EKKKKK. That was. It's all scripted - all of it. I wrote that. That was me writing RRRRRRRRRRRRRR down. I wrote that. And that. And this. And I wrote all that"
I made a t-shirt and other products with the phrase "Give It To Me Straight, Like Pear Cider That's Made From 100% Pears" to epitomize the unfortunate circumstances described in this bit. It is an homage to both the cruelty and hilarity of having culture stolen poorly by advertisers.
I 100% enjoyed this clip. 0% pear. Although I shouldn't have to say that, because a) you can't have more than 100% of anything, and b) you can't make an emotion out of fruit.
Hey Stuart you're a genius.. Absolutely love the layers in this and the execution. Love your delivery of your own material. Thanbks for all of it. You make me very happy.. So much more to say but im a bit drunk on cider.....
You can't make a drink out of a feeling, but once I went into Currys and there were a few concepts working in there. That's not an experience I forgot about in a hurry, I can tell you
the feeling of being called out for watching this on youtube is further emphasized to me when he then points out two people with a very similar pink that i dye my hair with
I was convinced that he was going to end that with the fact that pear cider, by definition, can't be made with 100% pears as it would then be a perry not a pear cider, which is of course apple cider flavoured with pears.... I guess that's why I'm not a comedian.
This may be missing the point, but I have just watched no fewer than three different magners pear cider adverts featuring mark watson uttering the sentence in question, and in each case he does in fact end his lines using the plural of pear i.e. pears
