I loved finding this because I have been playing and replaying his old standup and it was awesome to see how he transformed the Family Fortunes joke for a new audience, without his Scottish burr. But the original was even funnier. "Fur! A fabric! Oh yes, the great fur mills of the north of England: 'There's trouble at the mill.' 'What is it?' 'Well, there's no fur, is there?'" Craigy at his awesome best.
Blankety Blank's host Les Dawson was brilliant, and so was Bob Monkhouse. Two British TV greats. Craig Ferguson did a comedy sketch on Family Fortunes back when he was in the UK, if you can find it it's definitely worth watching!
haha sadly nah he wasn't. The theme tune was the best part of it (which Craig sings so beautifully) and it was hosted by a transvestite at one stage...only in Britian
@Davidbensonxyz why hasent done ant jokes about the anime abridgeders on youtube takahata101 ,lanipator , project shadow whipofalchemy full metal traz , khenpoe, litle kuriboh .?
It would have been GRRRRREAT if he had done that whole bit. Although when he did it back then, he had all that youthful anger spewing out behind each word--he yelled a lot!
THAT'S AN EASY ONE BOB!!!!
"an eagle?!?!?!?! NOOOOO! An intercontinental ballistic missile perhaps! Or even a bee!"

I really think I need to blow the dust off of that record and give it a good listen, for old times sake. *sigh*
You know, I think the comment thumbs up/down thing doesn't work quite how it's supposed to. I don't know about anyone else, but I always read the ones with like 50 down thumbs over all the other ones on the page just because it intrigues me to see what pissed so many people off. :P
Oh yeah, and <3 Craig and his awesome self-made sound-effects :P
@Vid4Kyla How do you set it so you find those with 50 thumbs down? I can't find a filter thing, so do you have to go to the last page of comments or something?
He did that act about family fortunes years ago (It's even on youtube) when he was still in the UK! It's not fresh! (So unless you were being fiendishly ironic, you're mistaken) (Still funny though.)
