BLESSED IS A JOY TO BEHOLD ! !

[VWatch07]

"Absolutely disgraceful the way people behave... keep your knackers in your underpants, you dirty bugger!" Hilarious!

[JoeStunner]

Imagine what Brian's like when he gets excited.

[martythetickler]

The poor bugger just keeps getting paid out through the entire show.

JAM SANDWHICHES!

[ginnyisdacoolest]

3:58-4:03 needs to be turned into a gif.

[psychobollox]

interestingly enough, re: the Finnish nurse...

we just had the national election in Finland and votes for the Perus-Suomalaiset party ('True Finns' ... total misnomer since the original inhabitants of Finland now all live in bloody Saame) have basically quintupled since the last election... 'Persut' are the right-wing nationalist party in Finland, where the other right-wing parties are the Kokoomus (Conservative coalition) and SDP (surprisingly right-wing for a supposedly socialist party).

[durgledoggy]

@psychobollox:In all fairness to PS, the BNP make them look like saints. A closer comparison would be UKIP and even they are a lot more to the right than PS.

The BNP are a bunch of bullying, half illiterate racist pricks. With no experience of useful politics, no knowledge of parliament and governance and no actual useful policies to speak of.

At least Soini can make a speech without dribbling, unlike Griffin. If Soini could just learn to compromise he wouldn't be languishing in opposition now.

[psychobollox]

@durgledoggy

to an extent, you're right, actually. the BNP are basically bastards, and Griffin IS that bad. the NF tried to become 'legitimate' by changing their name but they failed. did you see Griffin on Question Time? pathetic! but the thing with Soini is that -as a leader with no ability to compromise- he's a useless leader, since the ability to do that is essential for being a good politician. i wish there were enough space here to explain why. but you're right about the BNP. they suck.

[durgledoggy]

@psychobollox: Yeah I know, My part of the UK is where BNP support is highest. Truth be told though, they only did well in the council elections as a protest. General elections people take a bit more seriously and the last one proved that.

One good thing you can get out of PS's rise is that Finns do want some change and hopefully the new government will be a little more sensible. Although coalition governments are not known for their speed and efficiency.

And yes, not enough text to express myse

[psychobollox]

@durgledoggy

well, my local MP is PS but he's a pal of mine, and more rational than Soini, for sure. at least the proposed Finnish Nazi party managed to fail to reach a deadline for regulations reform ... sadly, that was the only reason why we don't have a Nazi party in Finland now ....

[durgledoggy]

@psychobollox: A Nazi party is not a bad idea, only the truly loony people would support them. They'd be small, powerless, marginal and ignored. That would leave the nationalist but not necessarily insane people supporting a party like PS. Besides, you have (is it 2) at least one Communist party, a Nazi party would serve as balance as well as filtering.

Can you really say local MP in terms of how the Finnish system works? MPs may come from an area but they don't necessarily represent that area?

[psychobollox]

@durgledoggy

well, leaving the idea of a nazi party alone (except as a diagnostic for eligibility for civil commitment to a secure hospital), the idea of 'local MP' in Finland - yeh, it is weird because indeed they don't represent areas, but his seat in parliament is filled by XY (Z), Z being where he was voted in from. not sure whether that makes for a reliable representation of people in parliament.

[durgledoggy]

@psychobollox:Indeed, I am all for representation of all forms of belief even the ones that are not savoury to the majority and indeed the sane.

I think the lack of a true local representative in the national government is one of the arguments against PR in the UK. It's not a hugely sensible objection but it is one. This seems to be why many PR and electoral reform campaigners campaign for less overall proportionality but more locally representative forms of voting, like the recent AV débâcle.

[psychobollox]

@durgledoggy

i've heard of this AV thing but not really looked into it - having to figure out a shitload of personal stuff here with the local authorities; but i've wondered about the PR thing since i read about it as the basis of government in Northern Ireland when i was at univ some time ago. in the end, i'm not sure that true democracy is actually possible.. nor indeed desirable, since it can lead to the tyranny of the few over the many. my field is psychology, though, not politics :/

[durgledoggy]

@psychobollox: If you have an interest in politics and elections then read about it, otherwise you can safely give it a miss. It's not really anything amazing and there are far better alternatives out there for countries with less than proportional systems like the UK to transition to.

I'm a bit of a libertarian, so governments to me are more of a necessary evil that should be kept small and answerable to the people.

Anyway, it has been nice to exchange words with you. Take care.

[psychobollox]

@durgledoggy

i've gotten hold of a nice intro book on politics, and that'd give me some nice starting thoughts i dare say; myself - i'm a gren anarchist ... at this point i'd say that our feelings on governments are very much the same but for slightly different reasons. i do agree with you though on this exchange of words - it has indeed been nice exchanging them with you, and i thank you for that! have a good one! ;)

[psychobollox]

@psychobollox

*green* damn .... never try typing when you've just woken up :S

[AngelBiLove]

at 0:27, is that a reference to Charlie Chaplin in The Great Dictator?

[jenssoderberg]

Even if Brian Blessed is a bit to rich for me. Even if he is a bit loud. -You do not eat your own snot. (I saw that) 4:28+

Crap, where is my role model now?

[LazyAssGaming]

I AM DAVE! YOGNAUGHT AND I AM BIN LADENS SON - Also keep pressing 8

XD

[DragonNexus]

Someone needs to invent a form of typing louder than caps lock, so we can do suitable typed impressions of Brian Blessed.

[Highstar25]

:O Dave! Yognaught is isama bin laden's son?!?!

[Highstar25]

YOU'RE DOING FUCK-ALL AT THE MOMENT!!!!!!

[flyboy172r]

4:28 - he picks his nose then eats it. Yum!

[sharkboy214]

he's great all hail the bearded one!

[DanRaccoon]

Brian's fucking MENTAL!! XD

[Alwuwa]

[guitarplayingseal]

[Rotarrin]

"You can say anything you like....and have, I think."

[solanusdracon]

3:58 he turns into Fizzgig from Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal.

[Resimaster]

'Osama Bin Ladens son, Dave..."

[AGentleman42]

Brian Blessed for Knighthood! Vote it up! He DAM WELL DESERVES IT!!!

[divineonenl]

hmmm never thought british could be funny

[RedKingCommandz]

@divineonenl we're funnier than the americans

[leglesstheelf]

@divineonenl In that case, I recommend this, QI, Mock the Week, Buzzcocks, Blackadder, Red Dwarf, Spaced, Black Books, and take your pick of our standups.

[veyronman]

@divineonenl the british are the funniest on the planet

[divineonenl]

@veyronman nationalist...

[stalhein61]

@veyronman

Well, I'm going to assume you're from the USA... I think it's the fact that we hate everyone and everything, even ourselves. I live in Yorkshire, and I hate the Lancastrians. But we'd happily unite as northerners against the south. And we'd happily unite with the south as English against the Welsh or the Scots or the Irish. And we'd all happily band together to be British against the world. We hate ourselves and can insult ourselves very happily.

[MsDDiddy]

@stalhein61 that's a rather sad existence, is it not?

[stalhein61]

@MsDDiddy

yeah, but we're used to it. XD

In the south, they're all miserable and depressed. up here in yorkshire, "aye well, these things happen."

[MsDDiddy]

@stalhein61 lol. i find that the british tend to be more sarcastic and dry with their humor than outwardly funny. is that why? because they're depressed?

[stalhein61]

@MsDDiddy

Meh, probably. Outwardly showing you're amused by summat isn't done in public. With your mates, sure, but not when you're in town or wherever. I know people who have never smiled in years. It's not that they don't find anything funny, it's just they can't be arsed to laugh.

[stalhein61]

@MsDDiddy

and did i mention the weathers shite?

[MsDDiddy]

@stalhein61 ah that would do it. i live in a part of america that only snows and rains. i don't even remember what sunshine looks like. still, i found yorkshire to be very lovely so you can't have much to complain about. come to Ohio sometime and you'll wish you were dead.

[stalhein61]

@MsDDiddy

Yorkshire is incredible in the spring and summer, but last year it snowed in april. Just saying.

I'd love to go to the USA, might knock a few stereotypes out of me, but I just can't afford it. Maybe some time when I'm rich and retired. XD

[MsDDiddy]

@stalhein61 lol same goes for me. i'd have to rob someone or inherit loads of money to see the UK again. but you know you're lucky because england is such an old country so there's lots of rich history preserved there. in america, everything looks the same...the houses, the buildings, it's so dreadfully boring. believe me you're not missing much.

[stalhein61]

@MsDDiddy

Yeah... but the south is all the same. the north of england is great though, and scotland is even better. i go to durham university, one of the colleges there is IN A FREAKING CASTLE. just across the street from a 1000-year old cathedral. I think i'd like to visit america, but i wouldnt want to live there... canada maybe. XD

[england1413]

@stalhein61 so very very true you northern git.

[stalhein61]

@england1413

What can I say, I'm Yorkshire born and proud of it. XD

[stalhein61]

@veyronman

We don't really give a shit to be honest. We couldn't be arsed to invade France if they surrendered to us.

[lytrigian]

@stalhein61 Actually invading France is just a formality anyway.

[stalhein61]

@lytrigian

true... i think we're giving them a bit of a rest after those World Wars... but in 34 years, they're fair game.

[LihAniaih]

Is it me or does the audience laugh particularly hard whenever Brian says "fuck?"

[Fireworkatheart]

Marcus has been on this show a few times now and everytime he barely says anything.

[tregino]

@Fireworkatheart he says more than most and whatever he does say is 99% of the time true or funny , he in my opnion is a good guest, but then i am an old fan from his early Radio 4's days.

[sindrehsoereide]

Brian Blessed definitely won

[Akaitsuki85]

Brian Blessed stole the whole show :D

[PhantomSilent]

Knight. Him... NAO!

[blubsy007]

"...Nick Clegg"

"WTF HAS HAPPENED TO YOU?! YOU FAINTED SINCE THE BEGINNING!"

"I'm so sorry"

"YOURE DOING FUCK ALL AT THE MOMENT!!!!!" >:)

lol

[marauder247]

@blubsy007

I thought Brian says "you've faded since the beginning"

[Skillzage]

It is my life's ambition to TICKLE this man.

[GlengarryGlennBeck]

@xahnborealis And then after that your life's ambition will be to get your teeth glued back in.

[Galacticmaster]

i just think as soon as the show started, the producers threw the script into the air and instead just enjoyed the show

[kestrel1997]

'your doing f##k all at the moment!'

[hfdpayner]

[Fwoomble]

I was going to say 'Brian Blessed for King of England', but I think it needs to be BRIAN BLESSED for LORD OF THE UNIVERSE.

[A16AdamWalker]

@Fwoomble nah sadly a tree guy got that title, He's the leader of the Universes Army... DIVE!!!!

[dehro]

@Fwoomble he already is prince of the hawkmen :D

"No, I'm not! I didn't say that at all. I said it's not his fault who his father is. I didn't say 'His father's done nothing wrong! Winds me up in a rather extreme company!" I love the expression on Ian's face when he says that!!
