+Liam Dyson I like the one where he ends up talking about pissing into the gaping mouth of Christ, and at the end, "I've finally made a joke Joe Pasquale can't steal." I'm sure I haven't done the joke justice but it was a good one.
I was glancing through comments before starting this video & your comment really piqued my interest. Once he got to the bar/beer joke I was absolutely delighted with his long set up & delivery (that's what she said?). It was well worth the wait & dare I say was even more fun for me & made better by the anticipation of "where & how will this quoted line come into play?" 💜 @moonsugarlily
Pasquale was my Supervisor in that Helium factory. I chucked it in and sodded off... I wasn't going to be spoken to in that tone of voice! #anotherstolenjoke
Absolutely love the mixed audience reactions. Genuine amusement, some forced laughter and some people looking totally baffled. Wonder if he went off stage that night and ticked off his list all the people he intended to alienate.
We went to see him last week (23/11/22) in Soho. He cracked two jokes - one on Brexit, one he retold from 1989 (I wasn't there). The remaining 1hr 50min he had the crowd wiping away the tears as he took the piss out of us. And we had no idea.
I remember seeing Michael Redmond years back. He said he was talking to an American who said “I’m from L.A.” To which he replied “Hello, I’m from D.” Brilliantly deadpan
Joe Pasquale once stole not just a joke off Frank Skinner but a whole story, which was actually a true story which happened to Frank Skinner and his friend. So he's not just stealing jokes he's stealing peoples childhood memories lol
That has to be the most articulate, well played out pieces of comedy I've ever seen and heard. I know you can't think like this but it makes other comedy hard to match.
+QuorkEx that show did a lot for Irish Comdeians. Tommy Tiernan, Graham Norton, etc. It was like the Irish version of a "Law and Order"type show, but for comedians,
This is the single best bit that I've heard in over 60 years being a fan of those comics who genuinely write their own material. Stewart Lee is the UK's best stand up bar none.
I can remember finding Stewart Lee funny when I was about 8 or 9 (This morning with Richard not Judy) and recently I've been watching his stand up again and he seems to have evolved into something even better. I'm hopefully going to go and see him this Summer.
Fantastic. I've been a huge fan of Lee since I saw Stand-Up Comedian live in 2005. Just ordered the new DVD, can't wait for it to arrive. One of the only comedians that can always make me laugh.
@@ronniemac2850 Yes, but when you reread the OP's comment it is clearly referring to the joke Stewart was making about get out of my garden (of Eden) which went over my head until the OP explained it...
omg ... SO excited - seeing him live at the Festival twice this year (different shows - I'm not THAT sad!!!) ... he is beyond brilliant. And is strangely attractive ! Ladies - anyone agree ?!
This guy is a bit of a genius. A real comedic maverick. His delivery is priceless. Merciless but deserving treatment of Pasquale. I love the way he praises the other comic Michael Redmond as well.
wow 41st in a channel 4 poll that says it all. Seriously, I am a pasquale fan, I fully appreciate your comments and hope u and channel 4 viewers continue to enjoy rod stewart lee evans or whatever he's called.
***** Well it could be both A and B, which I guess = C. Obviously I was being sarcastic, in response to your sarcasm. Then I pulled a little switcharoo, and mentioned Lenny Henry, who is about as funny as an STD. Leaving readers dazed and confused, as to my true meaning.
Nelson K - No, mate, what I think you've done is mistaken the British comedian Stuart Lee for front man and chief songwriter of Birmingham based Reggae band UB40, Ali Campbell, because they look a little bit alike. But it's not actually Ali Campbell, I'm almost certain of that. It even says Stuart Lee in the title, I'm pretty sure whoever uploaded this video would know the difference between the two.
I just had to google "how many times has Joe Pasquale made the pants up the arse joke?" and this comment came up. He just made the same joke AGAIN on Dancing On Ice. Its astoundingly ironic how a comedian can become a bigger joke than anything they've ever said.
Mr Lee definitely stole the bit - pull out paper from pocket and read it. Made the delivery of the joke better but Neville Chamberlain did it originally in 1938.
HaHaHa...It took bloody ages to read through the comments and get to yours (sort order!), so I wouldn't count on getting many replies. But I got to it because apart from the ones from haters and the low-watt-bulbs, a lot of comments for a Stewart Lee video are entertainment in themselves. Good effort 😀.
I like how he says words then says the same words again then again and then puts some more complicated words in between said words to make the words mean different things.
I fail to see the joke. You've listed yourself as Ang Lee in the phone book. I've phoned up to discuss the life and film career of Ang Lee. I don't see the connection.
I like how there are more Joe Pasquale lookalikes on RU-vid than Joe Pasquale clips. I also like how the few actual Joe Pasquale clips on RU-vid are recorded off the TV with a mobile phone.
Bob Bowden - No, I don't think so, there's quite a few other people that have commented on it as well. Have a look through the comments section and you'll find quite a few. I mean, eighteen people have liked your comment as well, so you can't possibly be the only one.
Look at this!!! Look at it!!! Look at the rage in the letters!!! This is the work of a furious man. I was absolutely livid when I wrote this. A satirical attack on the work of a much much finer comedian than myself. Look at it!!! Has Stewart Lee got a comment, that he posted himself? Of a parodying bit of his own material? xXx
As much as I like this piece and revisit it quite a bit, It's the first time I've noticed the audience. Particularly the man with the laugh better suited to bantering pirates or a Viking based, Kirk Douglas film with Vikings in. I can't remember the name of it, but if it comes to me, I'll tell you. *Little nod there to ripping off the Simpsons, eh, eh???
Bill Clay Great user name by the way. Good piece of improvisation by Hans. You took one look at McClane's expression, even before he passes him the gun. And you know for a fact he wasn't having any of it. Willis made that role his own. Now he looks like he'd rather be in something called "A Good Day to Stop Making Films". *Sighs, a great pity.
Bill Clay Yeah Willis is awful now. You can check out some of the press he's done for recent films, not just the last Die Hard. Him and Harrison Ford should make adverts for antidepressants
Arhum tariq butt It's been going on for so long, I can barely remember. But I think it was something that someone said when referring to his return to standup comedy, but people couldn't quite remember who he was; stating that some vaguely familiar person who hasn't aged all that well (let themselves go). So it's become an ongoing joke ever since...
I love Stewart Lee's comedy ... but I get uneasy at those of his fans who pat themselves on the back because of their supposed intellectual superiority: it makes me look bad. I just think he's funny, that's all, but if you don't fair enough; we'll never get each other to change our minds.
In the audience, either both members of a couple laugh or neither. Smart people pair off it seems. Clearly, most of this went over the heads of most of this audience (and it wasn't even Stewart Lee's most cerebral stuff).
I love the fact that Stewart Lee will often take out a piece of paper, as a prop, and read from it, when there's no way he doesn't know his whole act word for word
The Jim Davidson/Jimmy Carr joke was proved in court to have been in circulation before either of them were telling jokes. The fattest/fattist joke is hardly very original, anyway. Some jokes are so obvious that they are bound to have been thought of multiple times. Like the 'lost a pound/ hole in pocket one' etc
No. I was misinformed. I just checked it out. According to Carr's agent: Jim Davidson issued a letter of apology to Carr (as he'd requested). But it is an old joke. Even if Jimmy Carr thought of it independently. As I'm sure plenty of people have.
I was thinking about how the Americans have butchered our language and decided to list a few 'key' words they have spelt incorrectly. I have shown the correct version, then the American version and noted the letter that is wrong: English ---------------> USA pyjamas -------------> pajamas --------- Y moustache ----------> mustache ------ O colour ---------------> color ------------- U mollusc ------------> mollusk, ---------- C encyclopaedia ----> encyclopedia ---- A bannister ----------> banister ---------- N carburettor --------> carburetor ------- T cosy -----------------> cozy -------------- S sulphur -------------> sulfur ------------ P enquiry -------------> inquiry ---------- E fuelling -------------> fueling ---------- L labelling ------------> labeling --------- L Coincidence? 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
According to Bill Bryson, who's a bit of a wordsmith, the American word "Fall" (as in the season) was used in Britain for many years, before "Autumn". Americans kept using the old word. Personally, I hate the word Fall. Do Americans have the equivalent of "Autumnal"?
zenzombie72 As a Brit I don't like 'fall' or 'Autumn. 'Fall' is more descriptive of the season, but only in specific parts of the northern hemisphere. What use is 'fall' in California or the northern territories of Canada where trees do not lose their leaves in the 'Fall'? As for Autumn....well, it's Latin for a start. Personally I like the old term of 'Harvest' to denote the season between summer and winter. Again, it's not that descriptive in certain areas but it's just a personal thing. Spring, Summer, Harvest and Winter.
I was told this was incredibly funny. I didn't find it funny at all. Most of the jokes were predictable after hearing the set ups. However, I completely agree with him on the point of plagiarism and found his pisstaking amusing.
ZPSBestProfileName Part of Steward Lee's charm I find is that he doesn't attempt to be funny. He said in an interview that in some cases, he tries extremely hard to be unfunny yet people still laugh. When you know the context of his humour, it only seeks to make him funnier.
The set ups and the way he structures his routine are one of the reasons I like him so much, he makes you laugh at something he's going to say before he's said it. I watched Carpet Remnant World and I think in terms of stand up it's a symphony of 2 hours while Joe Pasquale is a fart cushion sounding repeatedly.
