Funniest Ever Comedy | Simon Amstell | Do Nothing - Live

[Deceptionoflife1]

Is he a gay?

[Arktos16]

This looks brilliant but I still think he's at his best going toe to toe with celebrities and crushing them on Buzzcocks :D

[SaxonVoter]

This man is hilarious XD

[Samsmilify]

i FINALLY get to see him do stand up at the melbourne comedy festival and I'm in first row yay:)

[aalleexx13333]

@Samsmilify Jealouss!!!!!!!!!!:(

[xxxGOLDENGALxxx]

I got this DVD and I thought he was amazing in it. If you loved him on NMTB, bear in mind it is very different, much more insightful and vulnerable. I'm not saying you won't like it, cos I love both, just bear it in mind.

[SuperSkolima]

Simon Amstell is my favourite person ever

[funniestevercomedy]

@SuperSkolima He's one of our favourites, too. :)

[karezza6]

Creepy antiChristian infrasexual.

[lancsFrogger]

not so good, the little bit i saw. more of an insight into his mind, rather than his (normally v good) 'sarcy putdown' style from buzzcocks. & the worse for it really, cos the insights weren't particularly insightful & the style was more than a bit preachy

sure he'll get better though, cos he's basically quite talented. just a bit of a content failure this one

[DontbSillyPrick]

GAY TWAT!

[Sinnessa]

Wow, I can't believe I've only just seen this and it's been out over a year. It slipped under the radar.

Any funny person can do observational comedy or tell jokes for an hour, and that's great, it's entertaining, a good night out, money well spent. But what Amstell is doing here is equivalent to the first noticable steps of the stand-up greats who bare their souls on stage and leave you with little moments or insights you'll recall and treasure for the rest of your life.

The real deal, this.

[funniestevercomedy]

@Sinnessa Yeah, he's really brilliant. :)

[nathanbirch91]

he needs to get back on never mind the buzzcocks, its shit without him!

[TheIndigobeef]

If I ever get a cat I'm gonna call him Solitude.

[MayYFS]

"obviously i've got a cat" hahaha

[96marzie]

he sounds sort of like a grandmother when he tries to speak loudly. ahahah

[OBJ2K9]

Whats he called? solitude hahahha

[shrikechan]

Gotta love Simon :D 

[reluctable]

He is seriously good at stand up, especially for a first timer, and he has a unique and refreshing personality on stage. I hope he has a genuine go at making a career from it because by far the worst thing you can say about the DVD is that it's too damn short!

[superlalabbz]

i adore him

[damnitjanet25]

I hate that the dvd isn't available in a USA format... bummer. I would love to see him live if he ever comes to the states

[ihateyou4everandever]

I bought this DVD because I enjoy his work on nmtb and the sitcom. I did laugh a lot but at the end I found myself feeling lonely and I thought a lot. This is a good show and I love it.

[07adavis]

He's SO funny

[DorianMauve]

He's got a list of mnemonics written on the back of his hand. Or, it could also be his grocery list of course.

[hirsonj]

i laughed so hard semen cam out of my penis

[Arianna336]

He reminds me of Tamwar in Eastenders. :L

[stefaloffogus]

Does he remind anyone else a bit of Jesse Eisenberg from the Social Network?

[Bouncybon]

Simon is delightful. He also gives his audience the benefit of the doubt that we are as intelligent and sensitive as he is. That's quite a compliment he pays us.

[omgshift111]

LOL I'm totally calling my cat solitude.

[birminghambred]

got it =]

[shuikyou]

Probably one of my favourite comedy DVDs. Ever. :D

[kar88lina]

I loved this stand-up dvd:D

[mouzeron]

Sex can just be fun.  It can just be fun. No one ever says “Oh, you’re playing all that tennis, where’s it leading?”

LOVE HIM

[fjdksla243]

@mouzeron isn't he saying 'can't'? cuz if hes saying 'can' i dont think the joke makes sense, does it?

[raychella08]

@fjdksla243 it would work either way. if it's 'can't', then he's saying people won't allow it to just be fun. if he's saying 'can' then he's saying that people should realize that sex can just be fun. Same joke either way. very subtle difference.

[fjdksla243]

@raychella08 i get how it could be either way, but once the joke continues to imply that just having sex isn't seen as like playing tennis because sex is always implied as 'leading somewhere', it makes me feel as though it would make more sense as 'can't'

[hippylegs]

It's Jesse Eisenberg's dad.

[j0phus]

Best name for a cat ever: Solitude.

[imagineaboringlife]

I'm getting that dvd.

[adamrowecomedy]

Wow that guy from the kooks is funny too!

[tobietera]

@adamrowecomedy - Both of those people have curly hair, they are the same!

[MrBazzabee]

If it's a choice !! -Watch this weak,irritating,drivel ..........or Do Nothing ?? Then I know what I'm going with !!!!!!

[escottproductions]

WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE JESSIE ISENBERG!!

[lollerz16]

@escottproductions Jessie Eisenberg looks like Simon Amstell.

[benicus18]

@lollerz16 alan davies looks like simon anstell

[zombiespecialist]

@lollerz16 i though he was once :P

[DanYMA6]

@escottproductions Eerr, coz he doesn't?

[BaronessStrange]

I <3 him!

[66awhFUDGE66]

saw it live, he's excellent really, it is that bitter honesty that IS so funny, if you don't like it then fine, people find humour in different things, doesnt mean he's NOT funny. comedy is, like most art forms-subjective and personal

[shooglechic]

@66awhFUDGE66 True, the comedic value is only increased more if you feel you can relate to what is said. In this case, he simply states his values and personal experiences in a humorous manner. It's not as funny if you don't agree with him, but, it is frickin hilarious if you do.

[WarpLover]

How on Earth can you rate this as comedy? He's bloody crap!

[sess2011]

@WarpLover So (I assume) is your sense of humour

[EchelonIL]

Please come back to NMTB... :(

[CasparWilson]

I think he is right, it isn't good enough. His stand up has never really been that funny...nor was his Grandma's House either...should go back to presenting.

[090111000]

@CasparWilson

your right, his stand up was never exactly laugh a minute jimmy carr kind of funny, but its painfully honest and truthful and theres beauty in that

[HoneyIEducatedTheWeb]

@090111000

Really? I find Carr a little lame. He's much better at panel shows.

[Electroguy1]

@090111000 Lmao. "Jimmy Carr Kind of Funny" like that's some standard to aim for. Jimmy Carr is LCD.

[ThePsydome]

@Electroguy1 Actually Jimmy carr is one of the most brilliant gag writers in the UK if not THE best. He is the only comedian in Britain to dare to do a routine where the material speaks for itself. He delivers dead pan and does so in a way that rivals Stephen wright. He is a craftsman. The downside is, he has no integrity and will take any job that is plopped in front of him,

[TheMasherbasher]

@090111000 Jimmy Carrs not funny

[mikamadperson]

Can't wait!! I love Simon!!

[himynamesryan]

Awesome!!! Pre-ordered and all!
