Johnny Vegas Christmas rant - Shooting Stars - BBC comedy

[kingdomofheaven666]

an agnorent twat XD

[RemusWolves]

Georgie Daws has me in stitches when he agrees with Vegas with a really serious nod.. absolute genius!!

[soundslave]

Hugh Laurie on Shooting Stars? I didn't think this was his kind of thing.

[kokamoa]

@soundslave He was a comedy god back in the day.

[soundslave]

@kokamoa I know that. I've seen him in Black Adder and in sketch comedy with Stephen Fry. What I meant, Hugh is a clever chap. Isn't Shooting Stars a bit low-brow for him?

[RCT3GOD]

os true

[ccfckenny]

Possibly the funniest man on earth

[woodyboy909]

Knight Peculiar!

[NotARacistRapist]

@woodyboy909 the fuck you talkin about little white boy

[woodyboy909]

@NotARacistRapist Well I assume you didn't get the reference.

[bsklasika]

it's genius. as he said himself, he's not comedian, he's entertainer. and that's true. everything he does, he makes people watch it and enjoy. it might not be funny what he says, but he is just so sure in what he does and committed to it, that you just dont care about how actually funny it is. that's what great entertainer is, and he is great one.

[benman136]

congrats to Mr Laurie on now being the highest paid actor on television

[begood20000]

I think Johnny Vegas is almost poetic

[fritspas]

This has to be one of the least watched clips on youtube that feature hugh laurie.

[RaidenOcto]

@fritspas Hugh Laurie isn't in this clip o.O

[vbroca]

@RaidenOcto Look on the right side. The one wiht "Laurie" name under him...

[RaidenOcto]

@fritspas oh shit yes he is, my bad xD

[marlastrongbow]

Oh god this is amazing

[AdAmBrOpHy]

two reindeers gewin wit tanta

[prettykitten1997]

This guy later became the fat bastard from Austin powers after he gained about 100 more pounds :P

[prettykitten1997]

This guy later became the fat bastard from Austin powers

[silentgreytiger]

ignorant + arrogant = AGNORANT :@

[Parsefone]

Vegas went for a pint with Self after these shows. Well worth remembering.

[TheRealAlanPartridge]

Mr Gibb you wana sell a sawng. Hahahaha

[Cookster5]

The idea of putting chocolate in a wedding...IMPRESSES ME!

[GTAIVFan17]

You, Self! You'r just an agnorant TWAT!

[870244]

Johnny Vegas is a professional arsehole.He's very good at being a total arsehole.Some kid themselves he's funny.I don't .Do you know anyone who would like to BE him?I don't.

[870244]

Johnny Vegas-professional arsehole

[MrCastle97]

@870244 Johnny Vegas-professional Genius

[870244]

Johnny Vegas-total arsehole.

[870244]

Fat obnoxious B******

[ruideng111]

met vegas outside a bar in manchester a couple of years ago. he's actually an extremely well spoken bloke who's even more intelligent. he actually trained as a priest!

[antster1983]

8 people like "arrogant twat" Will Self.

[chrisjoneschrisjones]

shit,not funny

[duttysingers]

lovely fake laugh at the end Anthea... lol. 3 Cheers for Johnny!

[abclozzaz123]

which episode is this from???

[Azzydp]

The mood of the show has dropped, who's to blame?!

[girlhitsbus]

LOL. Thing is, he IS intelligent and quick as a whip. Love him.

[whowantsabighug]

Johnny Vegas: the king of men.

[tezmt1]

St Helens lad done good.

[muckynuts]

confused reindeers! i nearly wet myself at that.

[DanRaccoon]

That even made Will Self laugh, which I imagine is a difficult task.

[masterchief3571]

ad love to see johnny on question time given dimbleby an those stupid twats from government a good roastin

[ollie705]

It's not an act in the way Coogan portrays Partridge, or Gervais, David Brent (now these ARE geniuses); Vegas plays himself, albeit in a slightly exaggerated way.

[mapexblack]

@ollie705 what and every character Ricky Gervais plays isnt just himself.. David Brent is an exaggerated Gervais, he even admit's that.

[ollie705]

@mapexblack I didn't know that but it makes sense when I think that his character in Extras reminds me a bit of Brent- both must have an element of Gervais' real personality. Vegas, however, in my opinion, is 90% Michael Pennington; Brent maybe 20% of Gervais. However, Coogan and Murray's characters are probably quite different from their real ones.

[mapexblack]

@ollie705 Coogan rules

[DeadpoolAndFriends]

I didn't understand half the stuff he said.

[cottonwhiskersuk]

I only live a half hour bus ride from the Northern England town of St Helens whre Johnny hails from, and yet I have difficulty understanding him.

What chance would Americans have?

[KonsharPaHuvet]

where's vegas from? he's like the only person who's native language is english that's on tv who can't understand half he's saying :P

[ollie705]

He's from my town (in England), St helens. And yes, he's a typical St helenser. He's an embarrassment, and grossly overrated. Hugh Laurie looks embarrassed for poor johnny.

[KonsharPaHuvet]

well i figured he's from England, or at least britain, but where is St. Helens? Quite far up north i assume?

[Thescorpionkingisbk]

@KonsharPaHuvet  st helens is near liverpool that were it is and yeah he a dick head trust me i hate this morron

[KonsharPaHuvet]

thanks.

... why am I being thumbed down?:S

[Thescorpionkingisbk]

@KonsharPaHuvet got no idea why they give u the thumbs down unless it's were u from coz if ur a american witch I not looked at ur profile yet but if u are then that be why coz USA and England don't like eachother

[KonsharPaHuvet]

Erh, I'm Swedish.

[Hatham]

@Thescorpionkingisbk

.......what?

[ScabbyGet]

Like the reindeer comment, that's pretty deep!

[Scoused5000]

Adverts are dick snot!

[richieblackhearted]

the idea of putting chocolate at a wedding impresses me too!!! im gonn aget married in a vat of it!! if we dont drown or die we will know God loves us!!

[RockOn00100]

Agnorant Twat! omg i laugh so much at this! xD rock on johnny

[squishy3000]

"Two reindeers going with Santa, two left behind and confused!" XD Nutty brilliance

[hamsterhelgrind]

lol "agnorant twat!"

[NeoCon2K7]

lol Bob's face at 0:03 xD - and is Hugh Laurie drinkin whiskey from the bottle at 0:06 o_O

[Elliott2000]

[NeoCon2K7]

[26highstreet]

[poopa911]

[weecoby3]

Fuckin' wonderful.

[JayfuzOMarley]

[SamuelHorler]

Legend.

[Crookmeisteren]

the thing is jmike pennington plays the character of johny vegas hus ment to be the stupid northern drunk but its clear that he's actua;;y highly inteligent and quick witted

[peaky1988]

he used to get drunk for these shows though

[biffington]

'and you self, youre just an arrogant TWAT' ahahahhah

[squishy3000]

"Two reindeers going with Santa, two left behind and confused!" XD Nutty brilliance

[RonnieFukinSize]

Jonny Vegas, he's outrageous and I think his humour is contageous!

[WrongHeaded07]

You've been listening to Jez's music.

[UltimateVenom]

haha i love peep show

[LimeBugLove]

@RonnieFukinSize Hey! That made a rhyme =D

[gothdetective28]

[jayhayes2007]

[vulnerabledonkey]

[PhilipXownsXDavid]

nice video! xD

lets hookup! AO

[mtrnmestudios]

He's a champ

[HerrHorst303]

he's so so soo funny!

the rant he has on nevermind the buzzcocks is hilarious!!

[georeff23]

Look, these nothing more funny then an articulate drunk man make a twat out of himself - Shakespeare called it "comedy"!

[thomrook10]

It was better when Mark Lamarr was the Team A captain.

[macgill2k]

no it's not true.

[Aidensapro]

genious

[stonee1717]

bloody classic vegas haha brilliant im crying with laughter

[pogothemonkey111]

I read on wikipedia that its rumored that Russel Brand has been approched to do a Xmas episode of the show. But I doubt it'll be good as the old Vic and Bob ones though.

(Lucas will be back as George Dawes aparently)

[ash19592008]

dont work

[NarghTv]

I cant seem to remember any of the Will Self eps like

nevermind he is a bit of a tool anyway

[Cakeashake]

Lets get a petition on the go. Get as much names as possible and force the BBC to bring it back!!!

[elmoape]

well for me (on virgin) Its not working on either!

[MUrrrrD]

man where is shooting stars, why did the bbc axe it? it was a big mistake cos it had a massive cult following, it was one of the only decent things it had going for bbc. if they brought it back and bob + vic got back together i wouldn't be surprised if matt lucus got back on his drums.

[26highstreet]

vic reeves demanded a massive amount of money and was told to forget it.. he prefers to be a village squire getting pissed and driving around causing accidents

[redmaggot666]

fuckin hell i remember this i loved it!! haha i am only 14 lol

[arobinson167]

BRING BACK SHOOITNG STARS!

[batzrcool]

same here, and I'm using virgin.

[Danni4815162342]

They need to bring it back, please please please BBC, Vic & Bob, come back!

[nbiekn]

this doesnt work on my firefox, and i have virgin media, i have one of the fastest connections you can get, so its nothing to do with speed :S

[rtock]

Doesn't work on Firefox, guys.

It plays OK in IE.

I have no idea why

[MUrrrrD]

yeh it dus

[errafloater]

i fucking love him instead of tip towing round subjects he just plows right threw them. prob why most americans dont like him. too honest, nothings as lovely as it seems :) lol

[picparty]

Not working and on a 16meg connection!

[z0mgRugby]

Works fine for me. Have any of you people experiancing problems tried alternate browsers?

Oh yeah, isn't Vegas funnier than this? That was the most boring and akward attempt at being funny i've seen in a while; Yet i recall him being very funny while the show was still going.

Was it my age, or is he usually as bad as he is in this clip?

[26highstreet]

yea vegas does scrips hes no off the cuff type comic, hes well out of his depth when hes put on the spot...

[NeoCon2K7]

They're all playing characters though. I mean I know the Angelos character was his own making but still... it's essentially preplanned. None the less, it's still funny and that's all that matters.

[digitised]

Ive seen vegas on live TV and hes very quick and funny in his own dry ranty way.

It just depends on his mood.

[XPoppycockX]

Apparently he used to go on rants for hours all the time and they had to cut most of it, so it can't have been scripted can it =) Not saying this particular clip wasn't scripted, just saying he can blabber on randomly

[ollie705]

He blabbers on randomly because he's half-pissed. Obviously it's unscripted because it isn't funny.

[turna2k6]

Works FINE!!

[Alien51M]

It works fine, check ur connection speed

[Ptake]

Now that is funny !

[napalmrain666]
