Shooting Stars - Flat Gag #1

[womba68]

he told one dove joke and it was genuinely funny when wolf from gladiators was on the show.... there was once a suicidal dove that was eaten by wolf (points at wolf) and on its tombstone it said "i'm glad he ate us". they all kept their faces straight but i don't know how.

[aysonator]

0:41 do you think thats his real laugh?

[HYPERIndustries]

I can really feel sympathy for Vic here, telling a joke nobody laughs at is so damn painful.

[DariusBlue]

The Dove running gag was alright, I suppose it was meant to satirize wacky, zany comedians whom for all their aforementioned wackiness and zaniness, aren't actually that funny when it comes to telling a joke.

[allaboutdmagic]

I love this bit.

[xXSinisterKittyXx]

Pure class.

Poor Vic. =D

[drsmokesweed]

i love it

[ILovetopranku]

BRILLIANT!!!!



[EURO96]

did they ever do one were a dog walked on to the middle of the screen and lay down, pretending to die? im sure i remember this. anyone else see it?

also remember one with a coffin involved.

this part of the show was hilarious.

[lukequixotesanjose]

I love this, because they rip on the panel so much, but it also shows they can rip on themselves equally... the whole show was one big mickey take. Excellent.

[sbyrne1]

I love the fact you can hear George Dawes laughing but never see him!!!

[LoafOfPint]

Brilliant timing from Bob.

[gullivera]

The Beeb really should make an effort to get a DVD boxset together.

[timx73]

i love cannon and ball... i saw them in this clip, if anyone wondered. lol

[blomfield1]

Has anyone got the clip of Vic going insane and walking off set after one the flat gags, I LOVED that one

[JagFanStevie]

oh yeah thats when someone steals his joke and gets a laugh from it, right? :3

[blomfield1]

Yeah i think Lamar or Bob says something and the crowd laugh and Vic storms of tearing up the set while Bob tries to calm him down... I was in tears of laughter

[nursefan]

I love the flat gags, do you have anymore??? There was one where the grim reaper walks past

[Fugsy07]

Richard E Grant looks like he doesn't understand what he's meant to be doing at first. Sitting there grinning.

[miffa2k8]

haah

[swavers]

euranoo.....oofafoo

[kyle2point]

bob got it spot on

[Pirateplank]

This is really special!

[HeeleyPI]

good vid, the first time they did it was funny as hell, and a couple of the other ones were good too, with death showing up etc... but to be honest it is the only part of shooting stars i wish they didn't do so much, got very old.

[sisterbrothers]

I quite agree with that. I was surprised they carried on with it so much.

[whitepanther84]

@HeeleyPI the dog dying was gd too

[Staff777]

this show was something else

[VengaboysRbackINtown]

Was this the first time that they did it?

[sisterbrothers]

Yes it was, and easily the best.

[retrolee]

It's fantastic because everyone breaks down at the end, apart from Vic who looks really hurt by it, lol. Favourite comedy, this.

[Uxoriouswidow]

If would have been better if everyone didn't break down lauging during the gag - but admittedly it was hard to resist!

[jacktindale]

It wasn't that bad...

...coo of the Century

It is of course a pun, or play on words, refering to the call made by pigeons and the term of an armed takeover of a national Government or Coup'd'etat...

...Grim Reaper enters Stage Right.

[oldoddjobs]

Wow, jackindale, thanks for that helpful explanation! And thanks for explaining what a pun is too.

P.S "too" is another word for "also" or "as well".

[sliponshoe83]

nob head

[jacktindale]

Rather unpleasent comment to make. Sorry for the sarcasm.

[87SaL87]

Brilliant!

[pishabness]

wow that was so cool

[sundaeg1rl]

That's a fair old lump of tumbleweed!
