i dont like mars bars, but i wouldnt go on a mars bar video and whine abut how much i dont like them.....This guy is funny, if you dont think he is funny, then why not just not watch him ? I bet you are the kind pf people who complained when russell brand phoned andrew sachs....Like that shit even concerns you, you just want to fucking whine and moan coz your life has nothing in it :)
@MadCowpat if this is the first time you have watched him trust me when i say he really grows on you i didnt like him at all a month ago hes now possibly one of my favourite stand ups and at his peak he is the best in buisness
@guitarreilly Nah I watched his comedy vehicle bullshit on Dave before (had to because nothing else decent was on). Turned it off after about 10 jokes because it was that bad.
This guy really is a dreary cunt. Yes I get that he is doing a pastiche of some old time stand-up who hates immigrants, but to drone on for 5 mins on the same joke...please. I see some comments likening him to Bill Hicks! Not fit to clean Bill Hicks' toilet.
@rorybone100 yeah, not as good as Bill Hicks who made a whole career out of bragging about smoking and how it was big and clever etc. Don't hear so much of him these days...
@ogdroadsong True, some stars shine brilliantly only for a short while. I always thought it was good for a comedian to make a career out of being funny rather than raking over the bitter dregs of failure that SL has made his own, thankfully, unique style.
@ogdroadsong Cheers by the way, went and viewed Bill Hicks doing his smoking routine. Just superb! He had a lightness of touch and timing, whilst being dark and sardonic that SL could only dream of.
the reason why i hate immigrants is that they take the jobs (wait there is more to it than that)
I got a degree and I want to get a high paid job using it, trouble is i cant find a job with it so I have to get a small menial job while I wait for vacancies as I'll need references on the CV for when a big job comes along. I had a part time job at 16 working behind a till so it should have been a doddle. but no, the non-english speakers have moved in, cant get the small job to get the big job.
I work in a hotel in that Auckland that they have now in one of those former British colonies, and it never ceases to amaze me how all the British tourists go straight for the prawns, as if they're something special. Now I understand why.
Nahhh didn't go over my head, I understand he is drawing parallels with bigotted 'immigrant' arguments. It's just that he's an unfunny cunt and completely unable to actually come up with something that is both borne of reality and humorous, regarding why people emigrate. I posted in the hope that he may use my comment in order to find something that he could make funny instead of whittling on about 'huge prawns'.
Yeah OK, I admit it, it went over my head, the man is the Lenny Bruce of our generation, anyone who goes to the trouble of purchasing an air mail envelope for their act is clearly working on a higher plain than I am able to comprehend. Anyone who can hold an audience enthralled simply by repeating the words "former colonial home, quality of life, what do you mean emigrant? Massive prawns!" for 2 and a half minutes should be cherished as much as I cherish my mail order bride.
@maettsook Quite right! I love this stock response to any criticism of SL that you just dont get him, or that it passed over your head. Bollocks! He is a tedious cunt as are those who like him.
You have totally missed the point of Stewart's humour if you thought that he was really that serious about this topic - it's a sideways look at the stereotype of the British ex-pat that bangs on about the sunshine and barbies on the beach - and an ironic look at those who are anti-immigrant. I'll bet that if he did this routine to ex-pats in Oz they would get it.
My quality of life has improved as in England I worked a car park night shift and spent over half my wages on rent. Now I live in a flat provided by my employers in Korea, teach kids English and can afford to see a film and eat at a restaurant on the same day, not only that, but the waitress will be fucking stunning and pretend to be happy to serve me! Oh and I'll pay 50p to ride the tube home and not have to worry about some little shit eyeing up my smartphone, connected to Seoul's free wifi.
He says the same thing over and over. BORED. I could never understand why my husband liked this... I have tried but it just doesn't do it for me. *Waits for some twat to have a go at me for having a different SOH...*
@poddersgirl1 you MASSIVE TWAT for having a different SOH, whatever that may be exactly. No I don't mean that, I just didn't want to keep you waiting too long you probably have a life to get on with...I say probably, I can't be certain as you dislike Stewart "Liberal students wet dream lover" Lee which would suggest that any life you had previously has all but withered away.
You might be in two minds as to whether I'm being rude or agreeing with you, it's up to you to decide now poddersgirl11...
@alanthe2 Oh man... I totally forgot that I was supposed to be waiting for some twat to have a go at me for having a different SOH. What a chump.
Thanks for being so thoughtful though.
Stewart Lee is the food equivalent of marzipan for me: it looks like something I would like and I really WANT to like it as everyone else I know seem to but I find it utterly unbearable.
@poddersgirl1 Marzipan is shit. No argument and I don't even want to like it, if anything I want to destroy it, I want wedding cakes to be naked with their sugary/doughy texture chains thrown by the wayside.
Good use of the word "chump", its underused, plus it reminds me of the budget chocolate bar "Chomp" which in stark contrast to Marzipan I enjoy greatly.
Also sorry about getting your username wrong L sometimes looks like 1, if this were in real life, I'd be embarrassed but luckily it's not
What? Like The Sun's page-3 tits?! The Daily Mail with a tit on every page? Newsnight "did you overule him" charades? UK journalism is infamous around the world for its sensationalist bullshit, right now embroiled in an industry endemic phone hacking scandal.
The only worth while news is the BBC which you can get anywhere with BBC World.
I am an emigrant, a British emigrant. Not living in a former British colony. I left because my life in England was sh*t and never going to get better. I do prefer living abroad, I avoid other expats for they annoy me with their ignorance. I have cleared my debts in less than 2 years, which in England would've taken 10+ years. This is where my quality of life has improved. Oh, and I HATE prawns, big or otherwise.
@enulcy Yes, I think the point was denial and arrogance. Arrogance to assume British journalism is something that might be missed. And denial that all Britain is short of is big prawns, other than decent weather, good roads, good services, nice beaches, good utilities, cheap petrol.
@Treblaine No, I'm pretty sure it has fuck all to do with what he actually thinks of Britain or the rest of the world or emigrants and is entirely about an ironic mocking of people who attack immigrants. Seriously, if you watch Stewart Lee and take his comedy at face value, you're not going to get anywhere.
@enulcy Well that emigrant/immigrant inversion is obvious just from face value and doesn't contradict with Bumby's statement. I know exactly what he is saying and what he is implying to get laughs, his repeated droning of "former British colony" pushing the colonialism thing like a petulant leftist.
There was not a hint of irony in his suggesting they might miss British Journalism. Joke is on him there.
@Treblaine I can't speak for Aus, NZ, etc, but I worked in the US for three years and I did indeed miss British Journalism, not crap like The Sun, Mirror, Mail, etc, but things like Ch4 7 o'clock, Newsnight, Unreported World, Storyville, etc, the current affairs programmes in the US are basically propaganda, they have no requirement to have balanced guests giving both sides of a story, they very rarely give any historical context, etc, in short they are terrible.
@enulcy I don't think it is just a mocking inversion of attacks on immigrants. It is also, more specifically, an attack on those emigrants(not all emigrants by any means) who rant, without irony, about how shit they think Britain is now because of immigrants.
@Mike209000 I live in Asia, but not one of the former British colonies. Asia and South America are pretty good places to live, plenty of culture and lovely hospitable people. There's pretty much nothing I miss about Britain right now except for families and friends. You won't necessarily get paid more abroad but you money will go further, Britain is over taxed and over priced.
@MrBernardBumby Haha but you've only gone to live in a country that is cheap. Of course it's going to seem better. Funny thing is, your own descendents, having got through the last of your money will probably just end up coming back to Europe or North America for work.
I am thankful I live in Australia and not in Britain. I think my convict ancestors got a lucky break when they were sentenced to transportation to Australia.
@4duff5 But the spiders, man. They're massive! AT LEAST five times the size of our American spiders. And therein lies the true measure of a nation's greatness: its prawn:spiders ratio (use total mass to account for both size and population)
@KITCHENOFDISTINCTION Lee + Hicks yes. Stanhope is really hit and miss, uses some very obvious gags for the sake of being edgy and offensive in my opinion, not a fan of Jeffries. For me it would be Munnery, Hicks, Carlin, Hicks, Kitson. P.S I have seen all of these other than Hicks live.
Lol, funny to know how aussies, safas, yanks and other Englese speaking folk are feeling insecure now cos he's speaking boldly but with plenty of truth in it. And I'm not British;).
@gerwazjana - not just that, but anywhere 1st worlders like to colonise, they destroy the environment and local people's lives in those places, building their mansions and holiday resorts and golf courses etc....
and them & their idiot supporters in the UK, claim that immigrants coming here are ruining their country....when they ruined it themselves in the same way they ruin places 'abroad' that they move to & use as holiday resorts.
@oliversisson I don't think he's ridiculing the places these people go to but the reasons those people give for going there. They turn their whole lives upside down for frivolous reasons when they don't even appreciate some of the great things they have close to home.
Wow, the idea of a prawn 125x British prawn size is mind boggling and high-grade pedantry. No nazis either. Bet they have Nazis in the ex-colonies, nazis who manage not to ruin it for the emigrants as many of them, in my experience, are (daily mail reading) nazis who leave Britain coz it's "gone to the dogs". Spend all their time saying how awful Britain is when they've chosen not to live here which is both cowardly and small minded.
This reminds me of Good News Week. Prawn-based politics thinly disguised by rancid comedy. Good to see. The EU is a racket cooked up by the Germans and the French. Britons never wanted it. So don't blame Britons for that.

There is no news coverage in the UK that can be trusted. The weatehr sucks, the government give the shop away and get nothing in return. The bankers [Browns friends] union bosses and politicans make millions while the people pay more and more tax for worse and worse schools and hospitals. Give me Switzerland and Australia any day, oh and neither are in the EU, hence why they have jobs for their families.
@warriorprince1010 'Fail', 'Owned', 'Epic', 'Trolling'.... fucking get some new words. EVERYONE on this fucking website uses the same SHIT words. Does my fucking head in.
@mgeorge733 You did fail, thats all. The word fits you Brownite excuse makers. Under Brown the poor got poorer, the bankers, union bosses, council bosses, private school kids got richer. Brown created poverty more than the worst Tory government, you have no leg to stand on, sorry.
@warriorprince1010 FAIL!? what does that even mean? Its some stupid comment kids use on here when someone falls over etc. Pathetic use of language.
Stop using stupid youtube expressions and going on about basic politics that you dont even understand and know everything about. As for including me into the political discussion.. I have no interest whatsoever in it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the best way to watch stewart lee if you haven't got all day, is to watch the first minute, to get the subject, and then watch the last minute to get the punchline. otherwise, it's like listening to a scratched CD or reading a tony parsons book, where words and phrases just get repeated and repeated pointlessly until you want to stab them in the eye with a fork.
That's not actually correct, though. If a "QOL prawn" is 5x the size of a British prawn, that means it's 5x larger in each of its three dimensions. 5x5x5 = 125x the amount of prawn meat, not 5x. You'd have to eat 125 prawns to eat the equivalent amount.
If there's one thing I can't stand it's an inaccurate joke.
@spoonfreakdotcom I think the common understanding of "five times the size" is in five times the length, not volume. If I bought prawns that I was told were "five times the size", I would expect five times as long, not approximately 1.44224957 times as long. What I am saying is that if this joke was being used in a commercial capacity (to advertise Morrisons for example), I for one would report it to trading standards as misleading advertising.
@fragglet I couldn't say what the most common understanding is, but I have often seen things such as weight or volume used in terms of the 'size' of a product, and seen it viewed as such by others in many contexts. For example a 1kg box of cereal can easily be seen as twice the size of a 500g one from the commercial perspective. Also, your rather precise approximate number is the cube root of three, not five.
Regardless, this obscene level of pedantry very much belies the humour of the joke.
@ThatUtubeMachine Stew specifically says that they're "five times the size". When you say that the prawns could have been 5 times denser, I'm not sure if you mean the British prawns or the foreign ones. If the former, then you would still have to eat 25 prawns to get an equivalent amount. If the latter, it's actually worse - you'd need to eat 625 prawns as a foreign prawn would be both larger and have more meat densely packed into it. Either way it just doesn't add up.
there's definitely a drinking game opportunity here...

@gerwazjana - not just that, but anywhere 1st worlders like to colonise, they destroy the environment and local people's lives in those places, building their mansions and holiday resorts and golf courses etc....
and them & their idiot supporters in the UK, claim that immigrants coming here are ruining their country....when they ruined it themselves in the same way they ruin places 'abroad' that they move to & use as holiday resorts.

@oliversisson I don't think he's ridiculing the places these people go to but the reasons those people give for going there. They turn their whole lives upside down for frivolous reasons when they don't even appreciate some of the great things they have close to home.

Wow, the idea of a prawn 125x British prawn size is mind boggling and high-grade pedantry. No nazis either. Bet they have Nazis in the ex-colonies, nazis who manage not to ruin it for the emigrants as many of them, in my experience, are (daily mail reading) nazis who leave Britain coz it's "gone to the dogs". Spend all their time saying how awful Britain is when they've chosen not to live here which is both cowardly and small minded.

There is no news coverage in the UK that can be trusted. The weatehr sucks, the government give the shop away and get nothing in return. The bankers [Browns friends] union bosses and politicans make millions while the people pay more and more tax for worse and worse schools and hospitals. Give me Switzerland and Australia any day, oh and neither are in the EU, hence why they have jobs for their families.

the best way to watch stewart lee if you haven't got all day, is to watch the first minute, to get the subject, and then watch the last minute to get the punchline. otherwise, it's like listening to a scratched CD or reading a tony parsons book, where words and phrases just get repeated and repeated pointlessly until you want to stab them in the eye with a fork.

That's not actually correct, though. If a "QOL prawn" is 5x the size of a British prawn, that means it's 5x larger in each of its three dimensions. 5x5x5 = 125x the amount of prawn meat, not 5x. You'd have to eat 125 prawns to eat the equivalent amount.
If there's one thing I can't stand it's an inaccurate joke.
fragglet 6 months ago
@fragglet That depends on the definition of size; It doesn't necessarily mean 5:1 scale. Size can be regarded as volumetric.
spoonfreakdotcom 6 months ago
@spoonfreakdotcom I think the common understanding of "five times the size" is in five times the length, not volume. If I bought prawns that I was told were "five times the size", I would expect five times as long, not approximately 1.44224957 times as long. What I am saying is that if this joke was being used in a commercial capacity (to advertise Morrisons for example), I for one would report it to trading standards as misleading advertising.
fragglet 5 months ago 4
@fragglet I couldn't say what the most common understanding is, but I have often seen things such as weight or volume used in terms of the 'size' of a product, and seen it viewed as such by others in many contexts. For example a 1kg box of cereal can easily be seen as twice the size of a 500g one from the commercial perspective. Also, your rather precise approximate number is the cube root of three, not five.
Regardless, this obscene level of pedantry very much belies the humour of the joke.

ThatUtubeMachine 5 months ago
@ThatUtubeMachine Stew specifically says that they're "five times the size". When you say that the prawns could have been 5 times denser, I'm not sure if you mean the British prawns or the foreign ones. If the former, then you would still have to eat 25 prawns to get an equivalent amount. If the latter, it's actually worse - you'd need to eat 625 prawns as a foreign prawn would be both larger and have more meat densely packed into it. Either way it just doesn't add up.
