  • What a dumb video, total waste of time.

  • This is pretty hilarious.

  • This was not a good joke

  • Bad taste in the light of The Gibbs current trauma

  • Comment removed

  • @patrickclowry Except that this spoof was made several years before 'their current traumas' (Rock Profile, 1999).

  • barry gibb is the biggest cunt and self important, pompous asshole ever to have walked the earth. Maurice seemed like a decent guy. Robin is just controlled by the cunt.

  • I've never seen Barry treat his brothers like they are saying. just so irritating to see those shows..The Gibb Brothers are very humble and give each one their own time. I've watch many interviews and it's not like that at all. Clive was jerk and this interview was all over the place and then he didn't even give them a chnce to answer b/cause he thought himself was so wonderful.. Yuck yuck yuck. love and blessings to the beegees

  • wHAT`S THE IDEA???? BARRY HAS BEEN A VERY GOOD AND PROTECTOR WITH HIS FAMILY.

  • I'll have you up those stairs before you can say "jack sprat"

  • This is the funny thing David Walliams has done

  • I love this. I love the reference that everyone british over the age of about 20 will get with the infamous Clive Anderson Interview.

  • SILENCE number three

  • i like it

  • This must be where Russell Brand got his 'look' from.

  • this is RUDE

  • hhhahaahahaha love it

  • oh god.. walliams looks like wolfman

  • even less funny than SNL

  • "If you wish to speak you wrestle the knife away from whoever has it..."

    Kick ass new house rules are being implemented in our gaff as I write this. Fun and games will be had by all.

  • LOL!!!!

  • Yanks: go back to watching Friends... about as sophisticated as your comedy gets. This was pure comedy genius.

  • As soon as i see the three brothers sitting down im in hysterics for me its one of the funniest skits ever, pure genius.

  • fuck obama

  • silence number 3!

  • good job..funny!

  • Wasn't the middle one in The Lion King?

  • lol

  • The middle one looks like the cowardly lion

  • english have a shiiite sence of humor

  • @buckshotbazy Is that why most of your big comedians come to England to do comedy?

  • @buckshotbazy americans have a shite way of spelling things. when will you acknowledge the existence of the letter u

  • Very clever parody of the Clive Anderson interview. Walliams was as usual superb.

  • 0:38 made me burst out laughing.

  • @stickshaka kills me everytime

  • I disagree with the comments below ... The Bee Gees have written more hits and fantastic work that almost any other British artists and i think Clive Anderson was the tosser with his inane and crass comments when he interviewed them ... he referred to them as tossers and they had every right to walk out ...

  • Comment removed

  • lmao matt lucas has the best facial expressions

  • Of course it's fair. I'm the older brother, by ten months.

  • You gotta love the Bee Gees, but you also gotta admit they're defensive twats.

  • This isn't the least bit funny. What were they thinking? Clearly they weren't and that's the problem. Funny you don't hear of DAvid Williams anymore do you?

  • Clive Anderson was a complete bastard on that show with the Bee Gees. Why would he be surprised that they upped and left? He was a very unfunny man. Thank God he is no longer on TV.

  • @Miryam050

    Agree completely. Anderson was a smarmy lawyer with a penchant for showbiz.

    The BeeGees are giants who were being ridiculed by a talentless midget.

    Dont get me started on Graham Norton's crack after the death of Maurice !

  • @charliemctruth It is very unlike Barry Gibb to snap like that. He is normally very warm and gracious. He is a seriously talented songwriter and producer who has his lifes work ridiculed..Anderson was playing the hip, cool, Channel 4 star but he is public school, Cambridge elite, who is unbarely smug and resents other people's success and money. The Bee Gees were working class with rare talent, a love for each other and have earned every penny they have.

  • @Miryam050 Clive Anderson was so smug and self-satisfied.

    This David Walliams thing is also smug, patronising to the audience, to the Bee Gees and so far from Barry Gibb that it is funny, in a way they didn't intend it to be.

    As for Graham Norton, he is a short, rude like arse hole.....They could all learn about warmth, grace and being better people from the Bee Gees

  • the middle one looks like the cowardly lion

  • SILENCE NUMBER THREE

  • david walliams is a nasty slimy clown who thinks its hilarious and ok to pull mens trousers down in public

  • @chrisjoneschrisjones Little Britain is horrible, horrible purile and unfunny.

  • @emmyjo720 i so agree!! its a mean spirited comedy relying on bitchiness and nothing much else.now that we're going out where do u want our first date to be?

  • @chrisjoneschrisjones I just think that David Walliams is not funny, not just because of this but none of his work is funny. It is written and designed for people that never saw the greats and would dismissed Ronnie Barker as just a grey old man rather then brilliant. The best comics are great straight actors too.

    Jamie Theakson once went out with Jolie Richardson but is not interesting.

  • @emmyjo720 i agree,so....when we gonna meet up then?

  • lol they nailed it right on the head. Barry BeeGee was a royal twat in the Clive Anderson interview.

  • maybe there is a lesson for the learning here...

  • is this presenter Enrique Iglesias's brother???

  • @opendtuning Heh heh no, it's Jamie Theakston-he was pretty popular in the UK before he was caught in a brothel, after which his career began to flounder

  • @warriorofwrestling hi there he also went out with one of the "All Saints" girls???

  • @opendtuning Yeah I think he did, actually. Not sure which one, though

  • LOL when they stormed off

  • In response to the BUM, American television would have not treated the Bee Gees this poorly. English television tends to lower its standards when doing talk shows, as Clive has done here. Accept it.

  • i'm not a fan of Clive Anderson he pisses me off and he was very disrespectful of the bee gees but i'll say this: firstly, when you call yourselves something like les tossers you are naturally setting yourselves up for a piss take. Secondly, they must have known Clive Anderson and his style, if they couldn't take a few jokes they should never have agreed to go on the program. Thirdly, if it was the tossers comment that upset them then why did it take them so long to walk off?

  • @billywhitewolf Clive used a vulgar swear-word term by spelling it - adding an s in front of the word 'hit.' Do not try to excuse that. No matter what the BGs had said b4 that, nothing excused that. Sometimes people who r comedians get too used to being th center of attention & 'anything' for a laugh & all of that, but if they're trying 2 b a talk show host at th same time, they have 2 realize it's not all about THEM anymore & their little jokes & half-jokes. 'Anything for a laugh' is NOT okay.

  • @kitman7 We Americans r used 2 a bit of banter, too, & we're used 2 comedians saying all kinds of wild things. But u seem 2 think Barry owed Clive something & would have to put up w/anything & everything. Wrong. Everyones got a point where they say 'enough.' Even if u're British, u dont speak 4 all British people. Please don't say "it's what we do" as if all British people or all British comedians wouldve gone as far as Clive did. They wouldnt. I'm sure Clive's a nice guy who made a mistake. :)

  • I found this video to be relatively amusing!!!

  • He wasn't rude. Just made a couple of jokes, you'd have to be a real pussy to get upset by that shit.

  • Clive Anderson was incredibly rude on that show. He pushed the limit. Along with that, he didn't even know the chronology of the Bee Gees releases he discussed with them. Good thing that this was done on English television and not here in America.

  • @ericcarmenfan Why is it a good thing that it was here and not in America? Because you can lift your arm for the fucking "clicker"?

  • Barry put a hamster in a matchbox and flushed it down the toilet. "I thought it would have an adventure" said the troubled star

  • This is quite funny, but Clive Anderson is the biggest tosser going. The Bee Gees were right to walk out cuz he was so rude!!!!!

  • five star on the other hand use a knife LMAO

  • I allways thought in the interview with Clive Anderson that they were inviting ridicule when they said they once called themselves le tossers ..what did they expect?

  • The actual interview was pretty funny...especially when Clive Anderson actually realises Barry Gibb wasn't joking when got up to walk out - watch his face!! lol

    Why were comments disabled in the original video from tvinsider1??? What are the worst kind of comments you were going to get posted anyway??

  • @CrazyDiamond21 LOL wen he called Clive a tosser

  • The actual interview was pretty funny...especially when Clive Anderson actually realises Barry Gibb wasn't joking when got up to walk out - watch his face!! lol

    Why were comments disabled in the original video from tvinsider1??? What are the worst kind of comments you were going to get posted anyway??

  • The older one was pissed cause he knew that Clive was right...that disco killed their careers. And the world knows it too.

  • @javelin1010 Yeah, but it also made their careers.

  • "and niehter will number 3", "what you mean morris?"

    "I think that's how you know him"

  • lol funny and I like the way it developed

  • hilarious!!

  • Little Britain is amazing!

  • It's a very apt reference to the infamous Clive Anderson interview in which because the middle one [don't know his name] argued with Clive, famously saying "you're the tosser, mate !" and left, the others who didn't really have any problem with Clive still left because, as they said "they'd never done an interview without him" - thereby suggesting they can't speak without their brother's permission. Pretty funny, really.

  • Robin was apparently more pissed off, while Maurice later rebuked Anderson. I don't know where that story came from.

  • @romeosdistress No one's a bigger BGs fan than me (of not just th music but th Gibbs family also) & I think this comedy skit is funny. It's not as if it could do them any harm. If someone thought it could they're sadly mistaken. The BGs place in history, in th music world & in people's hearts is 4EVER. Nothing can touch that. As far as Barry's brothers walking off 2, more power 2 them. It's called loyalty. Th entire walkoff thing was just a split-second blip- they had better things 2 get on to.

  • @romeosdistress nah i'll disagree. i think it shows unity in the brothers. clive wasn't insulting the middle one (the older brother don't know his name). he was insulting the bee gees.

    so if one of them felt insulted enough to leave, then it was only right that all followed suite.

    how awkward would it have been if the third guy actually remained behind to finish the rest of the interview. the exit and the last line "i dont do impressions" was really undeniably sophisticated.

  • and i suppose the osmunds have a whip.....DONT BE RIDICULOUS....they use voodoo mind control...

  • ah...back when walliams and lucas were funny...

  • David Walliams looks like Russell Brand here. :P

  • ur the tosser mate...

  • hes right jamie....SILENCE NUMBER 3!!!

  • "the system worked for 30 years jamie your the tosser mate" lol

    "you better watch it friend i'll have you up those stairs faster than you can say jack sprat" LOL

  • hahah funny!

    but do remember that the bee gees are nicer.

    but anyway,i can take it that no famous celebrity could save from gossip and criticism~

    :-)

  • Classic.

    Serves the Bee Gees right for being such twats on the Clive Anderson show.

  • Clive was a tosser!

  • @aldhous Get real. CLIVE WAS THE JERK. How low-class & rude he was was absolutely inexcusable. U agree w/ the inexcusable way Clive treated his guests? Then u'r another 1 w/ a problem. Get real. The only surprise was that the BGs didn't walk off a lot SOONER than they did. They r music royalty & don't have any need 2 put up w/ ignorant, low-class, rude nobodies. The entire planet knows the BGs. They r BELOVED & it's WELL-deserved. I live in the US & never even Heard of Clive til today 8/25/10.

  • @zenalaus The fact you live in the US explains why you take such offence. i.e. you don't possess a fully-developed sense of humour.

    If you did, you'd know that that's Clive Anderson's style, and the kind of thing that us English find funny. Anderson has dined out on it for years and is very respected. He's not an idiot - he's a qualifed barrister.

    The fact the Bee Gees didn't get it... as nor do you? Tough shit. But they looked like twats, and several hundred thousand views backs that up.

  • @aldhous We Do get tv, cable & satellite here in the US. I've been exposed 2 British humor 4 decades & no one has a better appreciation of it than me. Humor is humor, even if it has some differences in different countries. Thats the point. Some things transcend all boundaries & r just plain right or wrong. Theres a line in the sand thats not 2 b crossed Anywhere- a common-sense line thats agreed-upon in Civilization anywhere. Clive crossed it. I'm in law too. Anyone in ANY field can b ignorant.

  • @zenalaus The fact that my initial statement has 16 approvals and is flagged at the top suggests that people tend to agree with me, wouldn't you say?

    The Bee Gees spent a lot of time in the States. That would explain why their sense of humour had whittled away by the time of this hilarious piece of Elton John-esque hissy-fitting. I'm sure they were right bouncy geezers, always up for a jest and jappery when they first burst onto the scene as Les Tossers. I bet their antics were legendary. ;-/

  • @aldhous Sometimes when people tend 2 agree w/something its still not right. Like I said Clives probably a nice guy to know. And I'm sure hes a talented humorist. We all make a mistake sooner or later. Not a person alive on this planet can say "I've never made a mistake." I'd think Clive himself might realize he simply went 2 far that day. There's such a thing as 2 far. Anyhow,btw I grew up watching Monty Pythons Flying Circus & loving it. Also 2 other shows.I understand the difference in humor.

  • @zenalaus Clive's said a lot worse to many people and the subject has taken it in with a pinch of salt and in spirit of the show. Everyone knows it's not serious - jesus, it's a cheap gag.

    I mean, for goodness sake, what the hell did the Bee Gees expect going on the Clive Anderson show? It was stupid and petty to walk off, but absolutely ignorant in the first place not to realise what the tone might be.

  • @aldhous I understand if a particular comic is known 2 b a particular way on a regular basis then thats what a person who is familiar w/them would know theyre getting if they appear w/that comic. But arent u assuming the BGs have 2 have been tuned in 2 most of Clive's shows previously & have to've been totally familiar w/his previous material? There r tons of shows & who can b that familiar w/all of it? Especially if thats not their field. Unless u'r a politician u arent 'managed' That closely.

  • @zenalaus Don't be so naive. You think the Bee Gees don't have management and agents, publicists and PR reps? If the walk-off was anyone's fault it was their reps' for not warning the trio what was in store. And additionally, for not factoring in the reality that the Bee Gees have no sense of humour whatsoever. Jesus, I take the mickey out of myself (in the name of humour) on a daily basis.

    Too much to ask of these charlies.

    Well they are/were in the sad minority, I can tell you.

  • @aldhous Well I knew someone would say that in response 2 what I said but that would b the managers'/agents'/publicists'/­reps' fault not the brothers Gibb themselves. My biggest point really is everyone on the whole planet makes mistakes- everyone. Even Bono says he could make things smoother for himself w/more advance people setting things up perfectly 4 him- things like making reservations at restaurants ahead of time instead of trying his luck- but he's human. Perfect is reserved 4 concerts.

  • @zenalaus

    "Even Bono..."

    Bloody nora, he's a bigger tool that even the Bee Gees...

  • @aldhous (Hmmm. I don't know me no nora. Just kidding. 1 of my favorite things about discussing anything w/someone from another country is when they use an interesting expression that's unusual 2 me.) Well we can agree to disagree on some things. I still want to visit England some day. Not enough other people in this world who appreciate good hot tea like I do! My mom still has the china set my dad bought her in England & brought back to 'the states' for her before they married decades ago. :)

  • @zenalaus Well you'd be very welcome here. And for your ref, Clive Anderson can often be seen taking in West End shows (I've seen him outside a couple of theatres), so when you're over, get stocked up with eggs, flour and rotten tomatoes and you'll know where to stake him out!

  • @aldhous Thanks. & I picked up another expression now - 'for your ref' - I like that one. :) Well, I don't hate Mr. Anderson. There are all kinds of people in the world & I don't do the hate thing much at all, so if I saw him I'd just leave him be. Or leave him 'Bee'? (Okay,I'm not a comedian so I probably shouldn't try to crack jokes much.) Take care over there in the land of Shakespeare, The Beatles, and excellent tea! :)

  • @zenalaus Keep smiling. ;-)

  • @aldhous

    What made the walk off especially funny to me is that the crack that pissed Barry off was pretty apt: There was a time when the Bee Gee's were grossly overexposed, great musicians or not. Barry was pissed off about the fact that Clive was not wrong.

  • @zenalaus He went too far? Jesus, how much of a soft-cock would you have to be....

  • @aldhous Twats? how old are you? why do you use words like that to describe the Bee Gees?. I think that Barry may have been a little immature to walk off the show, but to be fair, Anderson was being very infantle with his snide ''jokes''. I am British born btw and I possess the ability to have a laugh, but I failed to get a laugh out of what Anderson said to three music legends who deserved a lot more respect.

  • @SweetSesatia Okay 'wallys'.

    And I'm 32.

    Regards.

  • this is well funnier than little britain - which i personally think is overrated

  • lmao!

  • SILENCE NUMBER 3!!!!!!

  • makes the whole family look bizarre...guy who plays Barry is rather frightening...someone who should be heavily medicated and put away! Glad the "Real Guys" are a bit nicer!:)

  • '.....and I suppose The Osmonds have a whip?'

    'Don't be ridiculous.........they use voodoo mind control!'

  • Sooo funny! I love it!!

  • this video is so freakin hilarious!!!!

  • Tee-hee.....funny shit.

  • hahaha love that shit

  • hilarious!

  • "you're the tosser mate" - nice clive anderson reference there

  • SILENCE NUMBER 3,LOL

  • ......voodoo mind control....!

  • David Walliams is so freakin' funny.... love the Bee Gees, and I'm sure they're smart enough to see the humor in this... though to me, he looks more like the Cowardly Lion than Barry Gibb... but funny nonetheless.

  • i think that might be the point lol

  • is this an episode of Rock Profile?

  • Oh my goodness. I love the Bee Gees but I have to laugh at the one who's playing Barry. He's sick! The true fans know that they are the best ever!

  • These are the little britton guys.

  • PMSL :)

  • These ignorant jerks are not the real BEE GEES

  • Well spotted.

    They like the Bee Gees really I'm sure, Robin Gibb went on a Matt Lucas show in 2002.

  • @aspire1964....Well spotted.

  • Gee, just...WOW!! I had no idea that the BG's were such arrogant ASSHOLES! Makes me glad they don't produce music anymore or live in the US.

  • what hole have you been living in? The Gibbs are definitely not arrogant or a-holes. They are great men who have contributed a lot to the music world. oh, Barry lives in Miami (which is in the US) and they are still active in producing songs. Barry is doing the love and hope ball (diabetes research) in February and Robin has a new single (Alan Freeman days). These men are very active and are great people. If the extent of your knowledge of these men is this video, go find another. They are great

  • Barry only partly lives in the US thank christ!! I would hate for him to be over here permanantly. I live in Florida too, worse luck. Hope I don't bump into him. :-(

  • actually, you are mistaken. Barry is currently living in Miami full time. He does travel, but not often because he is afraid to fly. He does own land in my home state (Tennessee), but his house was destroyed by fire. I would love to see more of the GIbbs in Tennessee. You should be ashamed of your post. These men have done a lot for Florida. They have always helped when natural disasters occurred, are tax payers, and help with charities in the Miami area. study up on people before bashing them.

  • I read up on him on wikipedia. I think you're making up porkie pies.

  • well i don't hope you do either you don't deserve the privilidge, your a faggot who doesn't understand what nice guys the bee gees are and in maurice's case was, they have done so much for music, your just a arragont, up your own ass american prick.

  • Lol. Grow up.

  • why do i need to grow up exactly? just telling you your an american asshole who has the wrong take on 3 musicians who are and were great at music and very nice people and not arragont one bit.

  • Why do you need to grow up? Well, there's your xenophobia, your attrocious spelling and your inability to accept somebody elses opinions of celebrities you don't even know.

  • erm where the heck are my spelling mistakes exactly i don't see any, oh well i'm only xenaphobic towards pompus american fuck wits such as yourself and i clearly know more about the bee gees than you on how they are as people since you don't have a clue on them.

  • Where are your spelling mistakes you ask? Oh, priceless. :-D

    Anyway, you come across as an infant. GROW UP!! LOL!!

  • well..yes i did ask and you can't seem to give me an answer which pretty much looks like avoiding my question because i didn't make any spelling mistakes and your a dumb fag and well believe it if you want or not i'm 20 in 2 weeks time so it would appear i am growing up.

  • I shouldn't have to point out your attrocious and shocking spelling and lack of punctuation, it should be evident to anyone reading your childish posts. "Oh, your (sic) a fag" is just the sort of thing that makes you seem like an infant. Go away now child, you're out of your league here.

  • hey buttfuck.....proceed ur famly tradition, u stupid son of a worthless bitch..get down and lick my cum....

  • Here are some of your more infantile spelling mistakes, most of which my 5-year-old brother could spell;

    privilidge (correct spelling privilege)

    arragont, spelt wrong twice (arrogant)

    xenaphobic (which was even spelt correctly for you by vengaboys!)

    You also mixed up "your" and "you're" to an embarrasing extent, and seem almost oblivious as to the existence of punctuation.

    I don't think you're in any position to be labelling others "dumb" fags when you are clearly an utter moron.

  • SILENCE NUMBER SCATMANJOHNLARKIN!!

  • logoff

  • gee u alright m8? u seemed wound up, no need to be, im sorry if ive wound you up and im sure the others are as well :)

  • ...I wont speak to u, when muther went out she always left him in charge, I wont speak to u without his permission - neither will number 3...

  • well thats not really fair is it? =)

  • ...of course it's fair, hes the older brother ,by 10 months....

  • @SCATMANJOHNLARKINN1 That's nice

  • forget those snobs...spellng mistakes dont matter....as long as people get the gist of what ur sayin...

  • Fuck off...u snob...

  • You just don't understand humour ,do you......

  • spelt arsehole wrong....its not asshole...u dumfuck.

  • ur the tosser mate.....WHEYYYY!
