is this what people call humour? because i don't find this that funny. I have great respect for Hammond, especially after his accident, and all Lee is doing is ranting on a stage. It isn't funny. It's pathetic. He has to be the worst stand up i've ever seen. And i normally love stand up. Izzard, Gervais, Kay, Evans, Boyle, Macintyre, Connolly, Bishop, Carr (Jimmy and Alan), Cooper, Dawson, Lock, Wood, Vegas, Parsons etc. you name it, i like it. But this is terrible.
Jeremy and Richard are tossers. James May I don't hate so much, but he's like Stewart describes Richard, that is, the bullies' cowardly accomplice giggling at their bigoted jokes so he doesn't get beaten up. If you watch the infamous "Mexican" episode - James is hiding his face in embarrassment when Richard says, "Imagine waking up and remembering you're Mexican"
i loathe top gear as much as the next man, but if you look at that footage richard the hamster (not an actual hamster) hammond doesnt laugh at the one-eyed bit. he's laughing before not after, but stewart lee is misrepresenting him for that specific clip. search 'top gear one eyed' and see
@IndependentGeorge76 well if he were a man with a set of, he would have voiced his opposition there and then rather than do fuck all. if you watch top gear, hammond just finishes of clarksons sentences. he is clarksons rent boy and may is the pimp......
@ianw2809 hammond is a complete cock, no arguments - but he is still being misrepresented here. i like stewart lee, but in this instance it's poor form if you ask me.
People sit around and talk about how GREAT Dane Cook is, but they wouldn't understand the first four minutes of this skit. Brilliant. I love intelligent humor.

Stewart Lee = Spikey haired twit, always was always will be.
He's not half as funny as he thinks he is. He's like one of those "right on" student union comedians (in his dishevelled and ill fitting jacket with the silly little badges for the right on causes) grow up!
And consult a dictionary to learn the meaning of the word liberal!
Look - this is a joke. Like on Top Gear. It's a skit on people who complain about political correctness, applying the same standards to them as they do to others. Can you not see this?
This man's inarticulate ranting does him no greater favour than Clarkson's latest ill-considered rants. He also got a fact wrong, saying JC has 3 daughters - he only has one, plus two sons. I am not a big JC fan, but he has more excuse for the offence he has created than the deliberate offence here. This is worse than JC calling for striking workers to be executed - saying he wished RH had been killed... and it's not even funny. Trying to pass it off as TG-type humour is also cheap and cowardly.
@EccentricRichard You have missed the point. While you know it is a joke, and a parody of Top Gear rantings, he does say as well as being a joke he also wishes he had of been killed in the accident, making two funny points, firstly showing real balls not to hide behind the joke like Top Gear, and that all humour is based on an amount of truth. And he isn't saying he would kill someone or do anyone any harm, just that things could have went better for the world that day.
@mcg548 - yes, because the world would have been so much better for a woman being widowed and, what, three very small children left without a father. Yeah, Hammond can sometimes be annoying, but not half as annoying as Stewart Lee, who seems to be full of unjustified hatred. Personally, I think he's envious - I bet he couldn't even dream of a 380,000,000-strong worldwide audience. His joke is unfunny, in extremely poor taste and is hiding behind the way TG sometimes makes jokes. Pathetic.
@EccentricRichard You've missed the point of his joke entirely. He's not "hiding behind the way TG sometimes makes jokes" - he's PRETENDING to hide behind the way the Top Gear presenter's tell jokes, for comedic effect. It's not that he's a bad comedian it's that you don't (or perhaps can't?) understand his jokes.
@EccentricRichard Stewart Lee is a comedian. You can pretty much assume that at a show it is a joke. It may be satire etc but you cannot imply any views to the joke. Jeremy Clarkson is a public funded Commentator on cars. His opinions are so far divorced from his actually job that it can be assumed that it is his opinions. And i dont think we need the phrase TG-style humour as though its some clever form of ironic wit invented by the halfwit and his minions.
Such a strange argument going on here, it's a joke! He doesn't actually wish Hammond died. It's merely a comment on the pc gone mad brigade. Extraordinarily clever bit of stand up
Everyone has their own taste in humour, some like intelligent thought provoking satire and others prefer John Lock and Michael McIntyre. Not trying to sound condescending to people that like those two stand ups or other similar styled acts for that matter but if you don't get his jokes or find him funny then fair enough. He's never going to appeal to the wider audience, but then again, do you honestly think he cares? If you watch his stuff you'll learn a lot about him and as a comedian he is th
he thinks he's better than anyone he mocked, instead of doing something as ghastly as someone he pointed out.. i wonder why people like him? and don't say i don't have a sense of humor because i laughed when George Bush thrown by a shoe. this is just sick.
To be fair at the "hammondbabe", this kind of intelligent, satire based humour would, almost always, be lost on someone like you. It's mostly for people with a vague sense of irony and a grasp of the English language.
well how would u like it if u had a crash at 280 and people say shit stuff why are u taken the piss out of richard hammond cos he is somthing he world famos so stop taken on the piss out the hamster and hes not a cowed maybe i wish u died tomorrow !

way too serious. Can't go on "shame upon thee" rants in comedy like he just did. sucks, is not funny. his specific example with the Gordon Brown was weak.
@mcgray2112 Of course you can go on a "shame upon thee" rants in comedy, a comedian could for example make a joke on TV about some prominent figure who smokes, whose child had died from cancer a few days ago and the connection between the death of their child and their smoking habit.
@mcgray2112 Now you may think that is fine, but I'd suggest most people would consider that the comedian has a nearly infinite array of targets to make a joke about and that their decsion to make that joke says an awful lot about them and "shame on thee" would barely cover it...
@mcgray2112 As for this incident, it wasn't comedy, it was a press conference by a TV presenter who in referring to Brown simply decided to call him a name which involved taking the mickey out of the fact he had lost his sight in one eye as a child, I suppose you consider that admirable, personally I think"shame on thee" covers it better...
Is this supposed to be funny? I normally like Stewart Lee, and I have no love for the Top Gear presenters, but this failed to raise a smile once for the whole 14 minutes.

It's like Stewart Lee has read my mind and used it for his Stand Up. Infact, i think i''m going to sue him!
