Christmas musical introduction - Shooting Stars - BBC comedy

[Channel4113]

COME ON ULRIKA YOU OLD SLAPPER!!!

[simonw91]

Crying with laughter at Mark Lamarr's introduction. A work of art.

Oh and if only Sealink were still so named, it would make trips to France that bit more exciting!

[Jexington80]

The best piss take of ANY Richie song: "Oh what a feeling, when you're dancing on the Sea Link" LMFAO! CLASS! Only Vic & Bob could have come up with something like that!

[00Manga0Lover00]

i watched for mark! i shall not lie XD

[Andyjb6]

Sorry, but it has to be said - Ulrika is VERY hot in this clip!

[thomsonfly645k]

the music used for mark in this was used for Angelos in series 7

[thomsonfly645k]

pretty funny when Bob jumped out from behind the snowman and called Ulrika an old slapper

[thomsonfly645k]

vic at 0.44

[MSimp2k6]

They were so young! And Ulrika...ka ... ka...

[mcandrew83]

This is probably the best opening for any show, ever!

[blobby1972]

ulrika has a lovely mouth .mmm nice

[stoobee09]

Oooooooh Ulrikas Legs!!

[samhilson]

i remember this from when i was little! i couldn't really remember it because it was so long ago, but i never forgot that bit when ulrika kicks vic in the face! lol.

[coetmor]

[antichris78]

[Samhain28]

[Cookster5]

HMMMM FORSHADOWING.

[MrJimmyboy1972]

[BroccoliBiatch]

Mark is ridiculously sexy in this video.

There, I said it.

[tetheredthinker]

[shinpacha]

[weejockpoopongmcplop]

I can't believe it took me half a dozen viewings before I noticed the joke they worked into the first song.

[tryingmybest25]

This is Brilliant! They were one of the best things on tv then. Bring them Back! Enough of this reality tv tosh and unfunny tv!

[sallyfieldrequired]

@tryingmybest25 new series starts this week

[LimpLoser]

just to fucking funny

[petal27777]

50s throwback Mark Lamarr's 'Mr Bombastic' one of funniest things that I have ever seen on TV!

Loved it when I first saw it way back when, and still love it now.

[DabilahroNinja]

Scarf Guy was awesome

[DabilahroNinja]

...lol, just noticed it was Vic :D

[wayne4622]

[gossieuk]

mark lamarr's bit might just be the best thing that's ever happened to me

[JackyRowe]

"come on, ulrika you old slapper!"

[JackyRowe]

the guy on the left at 1:47 must have one hell of a tough steak!

[spacecoke]

lmfao! rupert the bear wtf? so random and funny=D

[Anglichanen]

i dont get whats funny about vic reeves at all. I find him bloody annoying, also would love to punch his silly smug fat face.

[silvershields]

then WHY are you watching this video sh

[Anglichanen]

the sole reason is i lust after Ulrika Jonsson. Not for vic reeves

[legion22NO]

Thats a shame, I heard he loves you.

[fourthwind1]

when she first came on tele in that helecoptor doing the weather was banging, unfortunatley 200 men later not so much.

[boydegg]

Roar! Ulrika looking good!  I loved 'Dancing on the Sealink'

[opheliashigurehatake]

love shooting stars :) glad it's finally back!

but i don't think it's the same without mark :( <3

this intro was fantastic

and mark's entrance had me laughing hysterics!

[LargeLeader]

Bloody hell, Ulrika's looking nice there.

[ATaleOfLaceAndBlood]

lmao that was brilliant!

[lovefelt1]

I can never decide on who I like better Bob or Vic...

but then I realise I love them both cause they're both equaly funny! 8D

[cugarc03]

loool that last bit was class

[janiac83]

This clip sums up just how completely random yet hilarious this show is. I'm so glad it's back!

[MrsLovett112]

Exactly!!!! I mean, this new series is only a fraction as funny as it used to be, and yet I still can barely breath from laughing at it. That's how brilliant it is :D

[richardbirch2007]

The BBC need to take a leaf out of Channel 4's book and put all these classics up on iPlayer!

[daxiboi]

Come on ulrika you old slapper ! lol so funny but mark lamarrs entrance is one of funniest things ive ever seen

[Scrumdiddlyuptious]

aha love Mark Lamarr

[FranBMan]

Ulrika singing If I were a Rich Man is the funniest thing I've ever seen.

[JasonB1969]

Ulrika is beautiful. If you had the chance, then you would be mad not to.

[OldSmellyCrotch]

Yeah, I bet she'd even let ya put fried eggs in 'er hair-net!!!

[caple10]

I just cannot wait for this to return.

August 26th!!!

[digitalkilla]

"Come on Ulrika you old slapper, let's sing about bears" ......... classic!

[Hinzmana]

lol I love Brit humor

[cottonwhiskersuk]

it would be a privilege to be kicked by Ulrika's legs.

[snakepliskin3011]

ulrika... no matter what you read about her, you would wouldn't you

[princedoza]

lol

[EgolandTed]

yep

[Sexymike86]

Ulrika is well tidy

[HiThereImKester]

"COME ON ULRIKA YOU OLD SLAPPER!"

lmao

[inittowinit2006]

Why is this show not on DVD?

[kingdomofheaven666]

vic looks fit here

[nollaigo]

mr boombastic, genius

anyone who does not find this funny is dead inside

[keefus25]

Mark's bit is still one of the funniest things ever on TV.

And Ulrika's legs gave me a funny feeling in my tummy.

[lyle666blue]

come on Ulrika you old slapper LOL

[Skrofler]

I don't get it

[3infactapples]

what's to get? it's hilarious!!

[Jexington80]

If you don't like this, but get 'most types' of humor then you are the moron. Most humor that is out there appeals to the general common denominator. Comedy such as this IS intelligent. Vic & Bob turned comedy around in the late 80's, 90's and 00's. They were able to CHANGE the genre of the panel show forever, their irreverent, out of the box thinking has inspired loads of comedy series which are considered brilliant and also consult writers, comedians on their work, so how is this bullshit?

[squishy3000]

"Ooh! What a feeling! When you're dancing on the Sealink!" Ah, let's hope that Vic and Bob live forever in comic history for sheer brilliance :D

[asonofleemarvin]

yes yes yes release it all on dvd bbc! come on!!! bob is my style icon! ulrika looks lovely in this!

[whirlyfan]

brillant v funny

[kingdomofheaven666]

My sides are hurting

[doneapoo]

I love how Lionel's song is turned into "Dancing on a (the) Sealink". The arrangememnts and links of the songs themselves are fantastically put together. And yes, Mark's segment is the best!

[JapeUK]

I can't believe I didn't get the Sealink joke *slaps fod*

[JapeUK]

Plain brilliant, "Dancing on the ceiling", "Isn't she lovely", "If I were a rich man", "Rupert the Bear" AND "Mr. Boombastic" all in just under two minutes. Lamarr's wire work makes me piss myself everytime!

[AwesomeTom666]

I miss Mark Lamarr

what ever happened to him?

[whirlyfan]

went on to do never mind buzzcocks for years years what doing know try google

[Semprini89]

I've had dancing on the ceiling in my head all day because of this!

[TR0LL2R0CKS]

so funny lemar being hoisted over a tables in a run down cafe singing boombastic in a bling suit. i mean only reeves and mortimer could think that up. bring them back PLEASE FOR FUCK SAKES

[bebopuk88]

best intro to anything ever

[VeronicasMidget]

I WANT MORE!

[neilferg]

"Come on Ulrika, you old slapper..."

:D

[192tez]

she may be an old slapper but see could sit on my face

[bigguscurlyus]

How the HELL does this clip only have a four-and-a-half star rating?!

[InuStar]

I have never laughed so much as Mark's entrance there...

[melvinmclemon]

Fan-frickin-tastic! Can't wait to see it back again at Christmas. About time!

[FrankyBabes]

No, hang on - this was on years ago.

[pidgini123]

Franky

Can't fookin wait.

[ashervonsteinlager]

The Better show it in New Zealand.

Shooting Stars: Best Celebrity Quiz Show Ever

[jacktindale]

I love the Rupert the Bear bit!

Very funny

[dezzyblade]

PMSL comedy genius! This should be shown in every counrty around the world to show how comedy is done properly LOL

And Ulrika looks a proper fox in this clip ;-)

[matjohnroe]

Excellent, Just Excellent. All of them were great in this. Thank you BBC! Now just post some Jake Thackray!

[wmcginty]

Can´t believe no-one´´s mentioned Mark´s "Boombastic"! One of the best entrances ever!

[livelongkenny]

I can't agree more, one of my fave moments on tv of all time, nearly chockr=ed to death when I first seen it.

[Plopkap]

Amen to that. Sheer genius.

[Jessiccaarr]

Ace, just ace. I miss this show.

[drantb]

comon ulrika you slapper!

WTF?? the rupert the bear bit was genius

[darkprinceville]

"this british humour would not fly on this side of the pond" - then fuck you america!

[lizzieblonde]

rupert the bear! i cant even say how random that was or how much i just laughed!

[bdell555]

this british humour would not fly on this side of the pond

[RBLDSS]

did i mention that my girlfriend looks like her? just thot i'd throw that in there. anyways, i'm from los angeles and shes british and we connect on that funny level. oh come on!!!! you mean to tell me you never once thot benny hill was hilarious? side spliting, tears in your eyes laughter? the old man getting slapped around? the girls? the sped up scenes and funny music? i heard he was gay ...... even more funny!!! the irony!!

[87SaL87]

Well, maybe it wouldn't want to fly to your side of the pond...ever thought of that?

[animesis]

umm, the office? red dwarf? u know im not even bother getting into naming all the hundreds of shows

[jackjude]

what like Borat or something?

[cottonwhiskersuk]

Indeed no. Americans only "get" plasticky, family-friendly sitcoms where all the humour is based around social situations and dating-related dilemmas. Anything else is hopelessly beyond the scope of your imaginations.

[defjam99b]

why don't you shut the fuck up you clown. your toxic fuckin' stupidity is making me ill.

arsehole.

[Samagorny]

well done u just listed terrible in essence

[Tavener88]

You are terrible in essence.

[Samagorny]

hence i am the perfect judge 2 know what is me, and seinfeld is totally the most me'y thing in the world in that case

[sisterbrothers]

/me rubs legs

[87SaL87]

So funny & Vic looks so smart! x

[FranBMan]

Ulrika's really really funny, considering she's not a proffesional comedian.

[sisterbrothers]

She's great in Shooting Stars, I agree. It's a shame Mark left as the four of them really rocked together.

[MissGeocara]

LOL I love Ulrika's singing!

[Jaybeebaby]

"Come on Ulrika, you old slapper! Let's sing a song about bears!" LOL my favorite Shooting Stars moment maybe like ever maybe. Eeeee i am old, i remember this when it was first on t'telly, siiiigh. I love Vic & Bob; where's the bloody Shooting Stars DVDs already?

[fraserkatie]

LOL! Love it! Very funny! Ha! ha! ha! I loved Shooting Stars!

[kimz1988]

omg bring it bk hahahahha

[loccara]

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Blake4014]

"come on Ureka you old slapper" lol

[jhuredhead3211]

WHO is 'Ulrika?'

Jay in Baltimore City (USA)

[bellboy64]

A Swedish-born Britsh TV presenter.

[jarlabrelk]

ulrika looks like a stewed prune now, what a shame

[007hor]

...and you are?

[gracchus122]

spamers should go and kill themselves. they call me mr boombastic

[aeonflux67]

One thing with this lady - you dont have to use your imagination as to what she looks like in high cut black lingerie. She has already amply demonstrated it.

[ljuvefreya]

Yet she doesn't take herself too seriously ;)

[aeonflux67]

Is that the same Ulrika that Sven Goren Erikson had a fling with?

[tomsega]

No, it's a different Ulrika Johnson..

[robriotuk]

No it is the same Ulrika Johnson.

[speckle126]

Did nobody else catch the sarcasm?

[jim40135]

Yes. And most other people...!

[aeonflux67]

I take that as a "yes"! Wow....no wonder Sven was distracted.

[Fireballofdolera]

i bet it has been Johnson Ulrika be4.. frigging guy dude girl

[BrandWarfare]

They cut off the end bit :(

[Larfalot1]

Brilliance.
