"when any erection was acompanied with umberable pain -"calssic

[brianartillery]

I love the way that the horrific list of ailments is read out, pauses, and then to add insult to injury then continues with:"He also developed lockjaw." This is the icing on the cake, and always makes me cry with laughter. I'm laughing now, trying to type this. :D

[fuckamericanidiot]

that's the problem with conventional format sketch shows like this is you can have a funny sketch that builds up to nothing, i'm a cunt.

"the bones in his arms and legs liquified"

steam pumped out of his face 24hrs a day...

classic.

[nhaberbrook]

sweet christ, but this guy had it rough!

[brattycaz]

Kevin Eldon is brilliant!!...

[BeenyG]

"...and his armpits began to function at only 10% of their previous capacity"

Comedy genius. I swear I couldn't breathe for laughing first time I ever saw this.

[MatGreaves]

The first time I saw this I was crying lol.

[SpellsLikeTeenSpirit]

LMAO I cry . Simon is a genius ='D

[jonnytube64]

Brilliant!

[eksiarvamus]

it's propably my imagination, but it looks like there is an Estonian flag on the wall:D

[emailsanchez]

Sul eksiarvamus! Sa kujutad seda ette:D

[agressivemuffin]

also....been watching alot of Black Books, Green Wing and Spaced - fun to see how all these excellent Brit comic actors cross over.

[webbtje]

Yeah, this new crowd are going places. I hope the others get as much recognition as Pegg's been getting.

[agressivemuffin]

goodness me! I haven't laughed so hard for ages!

Didn't catch this one first time round. How could Simon Pegg deliver these lines without killing himself laughing!?

[kurtcobain1]

"fluid congealed in his eye sockets and he began to grow hair internally" lol

[DreamedOfHugeSpiders]

mmm, that really restored my blood-sugar level, thanks

[maximummonkey]

not the greatest of big train sketches

[CharitableView]

I think you have to be over 30 to remember This Is Your Life - I guess that's why it's less funny for you mate!

[bigupdadavidcross]

HAHAHA LMAO young people don't know what 'this is your life' is! *SNORT*

[CharitableView]

You're a very special lady, and a tremendous actress - with a heart of gold. Steam pumps out of your face 24 hours a day.

[guitarcase3]

Ha, ha! Very clever. thanks mate.

[greger1]

... and steam pumped out of his face 24 hours a day...

[mip0larity]

That was always my favorite bit :D

[greger1]

And what makes it all work is the vehicle of their stellar acting and comedic timing. Subtle facial expressions and "entering the role" are what do it for me. Doesn't matter how clever the script is unless the acting is well done, and these guys are amazing.

[peaco1000]

Amazing British comedy. So underated!

[KungfuCow5]

@peaco1000 I think you'll find it's Irish comedy. Written by Graham Linehan and Arthur Matthews, who wrote Father Ted.

[peaco1000]

@KungfuCow5 Well the actors are English so lets not split hairs.

[KungfuCow5]

@peaco1000 Yeah, well, you're a Jewish Nazi from Poland.

[Markus1985]

Bizzarr and wonderful. XD
