A mate of mine went to see all the flowers, and cards n stuff in Aug 1997. And he saw a little black Dinky toy Mercedes, that someone had smashed with a hammer, and broken the windscreen!!!!
And Diana was just one person dying. In a car crash.
Versus, several buildings being destroyed and thousands of people murdered in such a terrifying way in what was declared by their enemy to just be the first blow in a religious war they did not expect nor want.
Personally, I find it hard to compare the two. Diana was an accidental death caused by excessive hounding by the paparazzi in a desperate bid to make a quick buck. 9/11 was symbolic murder caused by politics.
@Terramax I think Lee only got away with this comparison by the backhand reference to it as "9th of November" so quickly many might miss it as a joke on difference in US and UK date format.
FYI, Both US AND UK have it wrong. UK has it day-month-year. US has it month-day-year, when the International Format is Year-Month-Day, the only sensible format in decreasing magnitude in pattern with clocks' hour-minute-second. So both are half right, half wrong.
@nobz9 You think you know know where the scissors are, but you don't! you THINK you know but you don't know where the scissors are! The scissors are hiding! Yeah I can see why you like mcintyre, biting observational humour there.
People I would like to ask you for help that is a little related to this video. I've got this on mp3 and when the Diana part finishes, some reggae song starts with lady singing...does anybody know who is it by? Before I go insane...
The fact that Lee has loads of 'PC gone MAAAAAAAAAAAAAD' trolls on his video means he must be doing something right. You might not agree with his opinions or find him funny but surely you can see how well constructed his sets are? And yes, anything that's a bit different or a bit clever will attract pretentious pricks but that doesn't make it any less different or clever.
@TheGreatwhiteshark84 You aren't funny or smart either son. Who do you suggest we watch instead? Give us your idea of what you regard as funny? I've never watched or commented on something that i dont like. Its pointless, negative, immature, and ignorant of others opinions. Fuck off and watch Russell Kane or something.
@TheGreatwhiteshark84 seems pretty funny to me, never heard of him before but this guy is definitely funny. i like this, im probably gonna check out more of his stuff, not to see how unfunny it is either.
Why watch and then comment on something you don't like? I'm smart, I know it, but there are smarter people than me. I don't think I'm smart because I watch Stuart Lee, i already knew it before i saw him. Stuart Lee is funny, like it or not, he's earns a living performing comedy. So what the sad people that take the time to watch something they don't like and try to spoil others enjoyment think, is irrelevant! Bellends.

Of course I can spell both Stuart/Stewart... When I was writing that I wrote an alternative spelling, as I wasn't immediately aware of which variation he uses. If I ever meet him I'll apologise in person, if he's offended by such a mistake.
@chalkus Looks like I got under your skin. You are self-identified leftist. Therefore can't think outside of crass stereotypes and grubby little generalizations. It doesn't matter how many times you keep asserting falsities it won't make it true little man. But not like you care. I read the all papers the mail, times, guardian, telegraph. The times when I buy offline. No you sad little prick, I don't criticize for any other reason then how deluded, conceited, and obnoxious you people sound.
@chalkus What an unedifying experience. A typical pseudo-intellectual with no grasp of logic or coherent reasoning. I tell honestly I read a wide variety of views and papers, am not a political ideologue, or one wing exclusively, and it's not me telling the truth and there for your stunted generalizations being false, but me being the liar. Go read a book on critical thinking and how to think logically, without all these logical fallacies. Please. If anyone needs to read up on things it's you.
@Underground906 Hypocritical clap trap. You are evidently of one wing exclusively and it is very easy to identify which. Your rhetoric is typical and cliched. Get back to school and work out where you have gone wrong and lost the plot on this occasion. I.e. Your reactionary posts, you evident dislike for anything truly critical, your deliberate misrepresentation on the definition of 'fact' and so on.
Your language is a facade... its a real shame you let your emotions get the better of you
@chalkus Like I said. Learn some critical thinking and logic. It's not that hard. Don't be one of these idiots who can't separate their beliefs from what's actually true. I often give forceful replies over the net to rattle people out of their comfort zone. If you think that is the mark of the average hard-right conservative, you're complete mad.
@Underground906 Ah, so thats why you come across in such a contradictory, hypocritical, stereotypical, cliched and false way.
Problem being here, your one consitency has been your right-wing rhetoric... it isn't 'forceful replies' it was utter tosh and transparent, as is your attempted escape from stupidity. Try harder or don't bother kid...
@chalkus Just fuck off mate. You're trolling now. You're completely fucking ridiculous. What right-wing rhetoric you arse? Don't waste my time any further. So i criticized feminists and Leftists here on this thread because there are a load of them and they're just as big an moron as you. So what? Doesn't make me a right-wing DM or DE reader you sad cunt. You've been desperately trying to fit into some ridiculous stereotype of a right-winger you have. Just stop, you annoying, pointless prick.
@Underground906 Again, subjective. We are actually both trolling if you want to define it accurately - but then, you don't deal in facts do you?! Then you descend into pathetic aggression, drawing the only conclusion possible - you are intellectually bereft and despite you repeated attempts to convince yourself otherwise, it has not changed anything. If its wasting your time, you should stop, I'm quite enjoying this.
@DRSTRANGELOVE105 Hey, don't you dare point out how transparently contrived and unimaginative it is to these people and burst their little bubble. How else are these thick people going to think they have superior intelligence over others if not through watching a carefully honed act from Stewert Lee making a 'gag' last for some considerable length even though the punch line was immediately obvious and the bit at the end simply unfunny and unpleasant vitriol with no comedic value? That's cruel.
@MrScruffleton Uh, yes, its deliberate. Because in the UK, our dates are written differently. Whereas you put the month first, then the day, we do it the other way around. So here, 9/11 WOULD be the 9th of november, NOT the 11th of september. Its a deliberate joke he puts in to take the piss out of the american date system. Good god....
@MrsPopeJohnPaul I wonder why he would do that. As you can see from the clip, there is no response from the audience so it doesn't seem to be a joke. I think you can make a mistake and still be intelligent.
@markyboy27able Nope, trust me, its a joke. Hes just very deadpan so it sounds genuine. I think I remember him talking about it once, its really just a piss take out of the American system of dating things.
Stewart Lee is a truly over-rated comedian...and to top it all, as a person he is a complete cunt and i wish him nothing but a life full of agony, heartache and ultimately, a painful and prolonged death!
@irongoatball You've met him then, have you? He seems like a really decent chap from what I can gather. One of the few comedians that lives by the liberal values that he has on stage. Refusing to do adverts or overly commercial gigs, refusing to work with companies that are sponsored by Nesle and stuff. Most comedians are hypocrites in that respect.
@MrAndysoul Yes! lets dig up his rotten maggot infested corpse stick it up on a stage with a woodbine and a pint of bitter and chuckle at how fucking funny he looks cause he's coloured now..
A genuine mistake due to forgetting to convert the American date format (month/day/year) into the British date format (day/month/year) before quoting the 11th of September, or was it Stewart Lee mocking British people for quoting dates in the American way, or was he mocking the Americans for quoting the month before the day?
I've just watched loads of videos of this guy on a friend's recommendation and I really don't find him that funny. His stories are painfully drawn out. This 'smug superiority complex' that some people have about his comedy is bullshit! What? Is this supposed to be the 'thinking man's' comedian? Give me Frankie Boyle any day!
@hexedkid - personally I think it's the obverse - Lee seems to bring out an inferiority complex in some people - I would suggest they look inside themselves to see why they've chosen to feel like victims... and then go seek out some kind of therapy
@futerko808 I'm not sure whether I agree with your point, however why use the word obverse? why not use inverse, converse or opposite? considering obverse means the same as counterpart, so the only reason I can think of that you used obverse is that you in fact wanted to feel superior by using an uncommon word, and you did this as you are a pretentious cunt.
@TateyTack as we're being pedantic, obverse is the other (face) side of the coin, and also can be defined as "Facing or turned toward the observer" - as is the case with your vulgarity which says a lot more about you than about me - oh, and btw, I DO feel superior to you - maybe try expanding your vocabulary - here's another word for you to search for "imbecile"
@TateyTack as we're being pedantic, obverse is the other (face) side of the coin, and also can be defined as "Facing or turned toward the observer" - as is the case with your vulgarity which says a lot more about you than about me - oh, and btw, I DO feel superior to you - maybe try expanding your vocabulary - here's another word for you to search for, "imbecile"
Does Frankie Boyle do satire? This guy isn't popular because of an Emperor's new clothes effect, it's more that the clothes are satire, and some people are reared on empty, cheap humour like Boyle and can't recognise satire and it's importance in reviewing our society and actions. The humour is entertaining but it isn't always the end, sometimes the means. A lot of people have unnecessarily smug superiority complexes about stewart lee because they have recognised the satire.
Funny how anytime anyone who posts on a Stewart Lee video something along the lines of "he thinks he's so clever", "he's so smug", "politically correct twaddle" , I look at their favourited videos and every time I see something akin to charlieissocoollike or ShaneDawson, Call of Duty no scope kill videos, "Charlie Sheen winning autotune dubstep remix" among other hilarious things.
@munnosable im white and youre a spastic its people like you who should just fuck off the face of the earth and ok i'll go back middlesbrough then where my family has lived for generations nice one prick
@heyguy1231 Funny how insufferable lefty cunts such as yourself and the self-infatuated tossers who watch Lee vids, like Guardian readers, to feel more 'intelligent' than the average, knuckle dragging, right-wing philistines, seek immediate to discredit the people making the comments in ad hom instead of address the valid criticism. Says you with the Cadbury's Gorilla plays Nirvana. Like your comment has any relevance, just more evidence of being spiteful, hypocritical, arrogant dickheads.
@andyct5 Err... It guess you could argue that the comedy isn't about the incongruity of having an inflatable ET amongst the flowers at the gates of Kensington Palace but the "mind set" of the people who concern themselves with the lives of celebrities. The build up highlights the profundity ordinary people attach to the lives of celebrities and the gesture of the sending the ET highlights their irrational and immature mindset - "the over-emotional shrieking grief of twats".
@38dragoon38 "Thomas Hobbes spelled out more clearly the idea that humor is an expression of superiority. In his 1651 Leviathan, he defined humor as the sudden glory arising from the sudden conception of some eminency in ourselves, by comparison with the infirmity of others."
just wrote my dissertation on stand-up comedy, was looking for a second opinion. superiority theory is normally used to explain why we supposedly laugh at clowns etc. i.e we laugh because we are better than them
@thewhitegoldfish interesting! And if we go back to the Roman coliseum, during the midday break blind people, or dwalves and women, were made to fight - all in the name of comedy. Also I seem to remember from somewhere that clowns (ill fitting clothes, unkempt, miserable) originated from from Germany and that they represented caricatures of eastern European refugees. So is laughing simply mockery? Or perhaps it is a form of relief? We empathise with the clowns position and are grateful...
@thewhitegoldfish we are not them - they are "other" and we have social standing. So is our "group identity" an element? This would also apply to "social discordance" comedy - Alan Partridge, David Brent, Smashy and Nicey etc. where the characters have a high opinion of themselves which is at odds with their abilities. We see - they don't. The same applies to X Factor which someone compared to the modern day equivalent of paying a shilling to go and laugh at the inmates of Bedlam prison.
@thewhitegoldfish. I think the superiority/ego theory stands up.That's why Blackadder and Fawlty Towers series are so revered,it's basically (with some farce thrown in) the superiority complex and the ego being punctured,and we love that even though we are using the same emotions while watching it.
@thewhitegoldfish Talking of characters whose egos are at odds with reality - I've just heard Jeffrey Archer today (18/05/11) at 10am on Radio 4's Woman's Hour. He's plugging a new book and "bigging himself up" - hilarious! You might need to download the BBC iplayer to listen to it: bbc. co. uk/programmes / b0112gv1
(close the gaps in the address). He's also got his own website.
@andyct5 I couldn't help but feel that this sketch highlights an incredible social phenomena - the alienation people feel in living in a modern consumer society. Perhaps all great comedy has a social message and the comedians who provide it will always be on the peripheries of popularity because the vast majority of people won't "get it" - if they were capable of understanding it then it wouldn't be a social phenomena in the first place.
@andyct5 that's the type of humor, it's self aware and manages to almost be a caricature of itself as well as being very dry, sadistic and pretty satirical. I think it's very subtle and clever, and the contrast between subtlety and outrageous and often obvious jokes and outbursts makes it funnier.
Princess Diana was a publicity courting idiot, the night she died I couldnt stop laughing, when all those mentally ill fucks were mourning outside the palace I thought we should have gassed them, they only drain on our society.
@fancythathat and a million times the human being that you'll ever be. There's a law about landmines now because of her, what have you done with your life to make a difference?
@fancythathat worrying to think that someone with a fucked up mindset like yours is anywhere near children tbh let alone caring for them. No wonder our NHS is in such a shit state. It's fuckers like you that rob from old ladies in nursing homes isn't it?
@hfdpayner ''Princess Diana was a..... idiot, the night she died I couldnt stop laughing''. This kind of sums up the mindset of the modern BBC approved comedians and the fucking shameful, unpleasant wankers who idolize them. That left wing set that hound you like you're Nick Griffin for expressing disapproval over suicide bombers, lest you ''offend'' other Muslims but that are filled with a callous, offensive and vile hatred to most outside those special groups. I fear for those kids too.
@Underground906 Piss off and read the Daily Mail, oh wait, your inferiority complex dictates that you'd struggle with that.
People who like Lee don't feel smug about it, it just so happens that people who like Lee have seen many other comedians along the way (Lee is an aquired taste) and just so happen to be bored of the commonality of mainsteam comedy.
Your problem seems to be, that being right wing, you do not understand opposing views so you attack them with utter hate and not debate
@chalkus OK. you colossal fucking pillock, they don't feel smug. And the false dichotomy is yours and others Leftists alone. This 'anyone who criticizes Leftists is a DM reading, right-winger' instead of just an independent thinker. You won't find threads on his videos full to the brim of insufferable cunts doing exactly what you are doing? Making inferences about the level of intelligence because of criticism. I'm been snobby and smug before. Knew I was being a prick tho so stopped. Try it.
@Underground906 Thanks for proving my point imbecile. Haha, what a dumb little fuck you are. You're not an independant thinker, we've seen the same old cliches time and time again and you're no different to the rest. I've made no reference to intelligence but you're inferiority complex has brought that up and I have now continued it.

@chalkus Just fuck off mate. You're trolling now. You're completely fucking ridiculous. What right-wing rhetoric you arse? Don't waste my time any further. So i criticized feminists and Leftists here on this thread because there are a load of them and they're just as big an moron as you. So what? Doesn't make me a right-wing DM or DE reader you sad cunt. You've been desperately trying to fit into some ridiculous stereotype of a right-winger you have. Just stop, you annoying, pointless prick.

@Underground906 Again, subjective. We are actually both trolling if you want to define it accurately - but then, you don't deal in facts do you?! Then you descend into pathetic aggression, drawing the only conclusion possible - you are intellectually bereft and despite you repeated attempts to convince yourself otherwise, it has not changed anything. If its wasting your time, you should stop, I'm quite enjoying this.

@DRSTRANGELOVE105 Hey, don't you dare point out how transparently contrived and unimaginative it is to these people and burst their little bubble. How else are these thick people going to think they have superior intelligence over others if not through watching a carefully honed act from Stewert Lee making a 'gag' last for some considerable length even though the punch line was immediately obvious and the bit at the end simply unfunny and unpleasant vitriol with no comedic value? That's cruel.

@MrScruffleton Uh, yes, its deliberate. Because in the UK, our dates are written differently. Whereas you put the month first, then the day, we do it the other way around. So here, 9/11 WOULD be the 9th of november, NOT the 11th of september. Its a deliberate joke he puts in to take the piss out of the american date system. Good god....

@irongoatball You've met him then, have you? He seems like a really decent chap from what I can gather. One of the few comedians that lives by the liberal values that he has on stage.

A genuine mistake due to forgetting to convert the American date format (month/day/year) into the British date format (day/month/year) before quoting the 11th of September, or was it Stewart Lee mocking British people for quoting dates in the American way, or was he mocking the Americans for quoting the month before the day?

@hexedkid - personally I think it's the obverse - Lee seems to bring out an inferiority complex in some people - I would suggest they look inside themselves to see why they've chosen to feel like victims... and then go seek out some kind of therapy
futerko808 8 months ago 9
@futerko808 I'm not sure whether I agree with your point, however why use the word obverse? why not use inverse, converse or opposite? considering obverse means the same as counterpart, so the only reason I can think of that you used obverse is that you in fact wanted to feel superior by using an uncommon word, and you did this as you are a pretentious cunt.
TateyTack 5 months ago
@TateyTack as we're being pedantic, obverse is the other (face) side of the coin, and also can be defined as "Facing or turned toward the observer" - as is the case with your vulgarity which says a lot more about you than about me - oh, and btw, I DO feel superior to you - maybe try expanding your vocabulary - here's another word for you to search for "imbecile"

Does Frankie Boyle do satire? This guy isn't popular because of an Emperor's new clothes effect, it's more that the clothes are satire, and some people are reared on empty, cheap humour like Boyle and can't recognise satire and it's importance in reviewing our society and actions. The humour is entertaining but it isn't always the end, sometimes the means. A lot of people have unnecessarily smug superiority complexes about stewart lee because they have recognised the satire.

@andyct5 Err... It guess you could argue that the comedy isn't about the incongruity of having an inflatable ET amongst the flowers at the gates of Kensington Palace but the "mind set" of the people who concern themselves with the lives of celebrities. The build up highlights the profundity ordinary people attach to the lives of celebrities and the gesture of the sending the ET highlights their irrational and immature mindset - "the over-emotional shrieking grief of twats".

@thewhitegoldfish What is "superiority theory"? I've never heard of that one.
38dragoon38 8 months ago
@38dragoon38 "Thomas Hobbes spelled out more clearly the idea that humor is an expression of superiority. In his 1651 Leviathan, he defined humor as the sudden glory arising from the sudden conception of some eminency in ourselves, by comparison with the infirmity of others."
just wrote my dissertation on stand-up comedy, was looking for a second opinion. superiority theory is normally used to explain why we supposedly laugh at clowns etc. i.e we laugh because we are better than them
thewhitegoldfish 8 months ago
@thewhitegoldfish interesting! And if we go back to the Roman coliseum, during the midday break blind people, or dwalves and women, were made to fight - all in the name of comedy. Also I seem to remember from somewhere that clowns (ill fitting clothes, unkempt, miserable) originated from from Germany and that they represented caricatures of eastern European refugees. So is laughing simply mockery? Or perhaps it is a form of relief? We empathise with the clowns position and are grateful...
38dragoon38 8 months ago
@thewhitegoldfish we are not them - they are "other" and we have social standing. So is our "group identity" an element? This would also apply to "social discordance" comedy - Alan Partridge, David Brent, Smashy and Nicey etc. where the characters have a high opinion of themselves which is at odds with their abilities. We see - they don't. The same applies to X Factor which someone compared to the modern day equivalent of paying a shilling to go and laugh at the inmates of Bedlam prison.
38dragoon38 8 months ago
@thewhitegoldfish. I think the superiority/ego theory stands up.That's why Blackadder and Fawlty Towers series are so revered,it's basically (with some farce thrown in) the superiority complex and the ego being punctured,and we love that even though we are using the same emotions while watching it.

@andyct5 I couldn't help but feel that this sketch highlights an incredible social phenomena - the alienation people feel in living in a modern consumer society. Perhaps all great comedy has a social message and the comedians who provide it will always be on the peripheries of popularity because the vast majority of people won't "get it" - if they were capable of understanding it then it wouldn't be a social phenomena in the first place.
38dragoon38 8 months ago
@andyct5 that's the type of humor, it's self aware and manages to almost be a caricature of itself as well as being very dry, sadistic and pretty satirical. I think it's very subtle and clever, and the contrast between subtlety and outrageous and often obvious jokes and outbursts makes it funnier.
