Crimewatch on Lord of the Rings - Dead Ringers - BBC comedy

[SmokeyAmp]

They are aware LOTR is a book, right? A book with Elves and Dragons and magical rings, right?

[LionelWitchieWardrob]

not funny

[HelloJondom]

Gandalf the white? What a load of arse!

[dmhiggs]

On the rise "raises eyebrow" lol

[hattrickster33]

Hah Gandalf got fat....

[123johnnydepp123]

haha gandalf is like alice cooper thay kill him and he comes back alive in a diffrent outfit XD

[FagOx]

The relevance of his absinthe binging is in relation to all the trippy nonsense included in LOTR and especially The Silmarillion. Such as the Tom Bombadil character, who Tolkien conceived of and elucidated while experincing ego loss when tripping his tits off on oil of Wormwood. He regularly had frantic prolonged writing sessions while binging on Absinthe. Of course the majority of this information has been suppressed by his family but you can find it if you look hard enough.

[charliec81]

@FagOx Considering that Samuel Coleridge Taylor was on an opium binge before he wrote Xanadu, I don't think its that surprising.

[FagOx]

Duh, you stupid fucks. The first book I'm referring to is 'The Hobbit' the second book is 'The Lord of the Rings' and the third book is 'The Silmarillion'. When Gandalf proved such a popular character in The Hobbit, he decided to restructure the later storyline of LOTR to include him, with the definitive explanation of his resurrection in The Silmarillion.

[darkness019283]

i am getting strangled by someones tail.

[bretj89]

@fagox I'm not sure about that; it was originally written as a single book, then later divided into three. So what you say doesn't make a great deal of sense.

[FagOx]

Yeah Gandalf was brought back because originally Tolkien only wrote one book and it wasn't until that was successful that the second and third were written. Since Gandalf was such a popular character he had to somehow resurrect him and so chose to use a rather esoteric plot device that would sound like utter nonsense unless you'd read The Silmarillion. Also Tolkien liked his absinthe, so he was off his tits most of the time during his writing.

[smellygoat]

@FagOx thats actually complete bollocks because LOTR was considered a flop when it was first published and only became popular when the hippies started reading it years after the book was finished and Tolkien hated hippies. And i dont see what the relevance of drinking absinthe has to do with it because binge drinking wasnt as common as it is now.

[brigeboy95]

@smellygoat now thats bigger bollocks the lotr was a bestseller when it was first pubblished heck read up on it before you sput nonsense

[smellygoat]

@brigeboy95 obviously you havent.i found this little quote on a book selling website to back myself up with "Unlike the majority of Fantasy books (including Harry Potter) The Lord of the Rings did not become a best-seller overnight. It was not untill the 1960's" i have family members that were alive then so i didnt even need to look it up the only place it became an instant bestseller on release was in America which was in the mid 60's ten years after the original publication. u mad?

[brigeboy95]

@smellygoat then why does the 50th anniversery clearly say that the book was succesefull in england from moment it was published it hit america in the 60s

[smellygoat]

@brigeboy95 most likely sales and marketing and the publishers had to do with it. you think that putting something like. "the book was considered a load of old horse shit til some stoners picked it up in the 60's comepletely off thier face" is gonna help sell more books/dvds?

[Grotomode]

@FagOx Can people who dont know shit about LOTR or Tolkien just shut the fuck up.

You included.

[FagOx]

@Grotomode Can ignorant 12 year old fucks with a lack of reading comprehension please stop being internet warriors on their parent's computer.

You included.

[Grotomode]

@FagOx I wish I had a lack of reading comprehension... that would make me immune to your half-assed trolling. But, alas...

[Lukege15]

BBC + Adverts?...

[deovision]

Yorkshire Tea is crap.

[kao123456654]

[poppylwood2]

[hoplite46]

Very Dated humour

[OOOuise]

wow funny.

[ZeppelinxOfxLed]

LOL THIS IS GREAT

[IanWiiPlayer]

some say that when gandalf finishes his dulux colour chart

he changes sexual preferences and becomes gandalf the curious, then gandalf the gay, then gandalf the Bi and so on till he changes mental condition and becomes gandalf the depressed

[way2tehdawn]

Thaaaat's not fair the white council of the Maia needed a leader and Iluvatah bestowed that rold onto Gandalf for defeating the Balrog (I assume). It's not like some lame plot twist.

[thejadefalcon]

@way2tehdawn Comedy: you fail to understand it forever. Please leave the internet.

[way2tehdawn]

@thejadefalcon Ok...

[thejadefalcon]

@way2tehdawn Thank you.

[DragonSporks]

[F1guitarfanatic927]

Lord of the Rings has got to be my favourite fantasy film/books ever. Even still, this is hilarious!

[firefox336]

[Miguelohara563]

Hah, Gandalf the Tartan!

[andrewdafoe]

@Miguelohara563 AYE!

[BritishNeoCon]

I thought the BBC wasn't supposed to have any adverts :P

[alexsau91]

@BritishNeoCon

The BBC isnt suppose to have ads since we pay for the viewings with a lisence fee, BBC Worldwide however a commercial subsidiary owned BBC;

It is the advertisements that allow (pay) for us to view this for nothing, not our license fee, hence why like every other TV station it has ads.

The BBC wouldn't get away with funding BBC worldwide with tax payers money at the moment anyway.

[WiccanHighPriest0]

@alexsau91 yes it would, it's been getting away with it for years because the TV licence is forced on people. I simply don't let em in. "Hi, I'm from Tv licencing, are you ___ __?" DOOR SLAM!

[EuroMIX2]

What adverts? :S

[loftyD]

where's the sound effect from 1:09, does anyone know where I can d/l it?

[AvaPozen]

Love her cocked brow at the end.

[potterspuppetpal]

Gandolf's voice sounds a little like a mix of Real Gandolf and Davey Jones (Pirates of the Carribian)

[ColinXS]

The YouTube advert had Sean Bean speaking.

[27Tyrrell]

She keeps doing that fucking crap Fiona Bruce impession for ages now. It isn't funny bitch, that's why you don't have any more work.

[kiza8176]

[repkhmvkf8o]

[superkaioken1]

dulux colour chart LOL im not afraid to use it

[1Dambell]

Why the hell was there a stupid advert at the start of this. 'tis the BBC you know? they don't do Ads.....

[TheEmoKiller3000]

It's because of google, the bbc have no control over what adverts are put infront of this video since google owns it, not the bbc. If you watched the clibs on the bbc's website/on iplayer then there'd be no ads.

[MattMVideos]

The BBC News website has ads - especially the One Minute News, though.

[fuhrerschein2008]

Gandalf the tartan!

[MimiTheStoryTeller]

Delux colour chart!! That made my day!

[Sageeth]

Tis funny but they actually do have an explaination behind how Gandalf comes back... it just doesn't suit people who need to be based in science and reality in a story where orcs are running around and people use magic...

[020storm020]

I'm intrested to know :) you can message me explaining why he comes back in a different colour. I never read the book.

[antonimbret]

[juzzen]

iii've never seen crime watch show in the uk (never been to the uk) and i still think it's fucking hilarious when she does the 'watch me walk' .

iii am so doing that at work tomorow

[jazzx251]

@juzzen

Crime Watch is another of the BBC's institutions.

Basically, serious crimes (and a few petty fraudsters) get re-enacted and appeals to the public made to catch the villains ... usually comes on once a month, live on TV.

"Were you in Manchester at 8pm on Sunday night? Did you see this man? - The police would very much like to speak to him regarding a spate of robberies in the area ..."

The show has a good hit rate in helping to solve crime.

[fakegirl15]

I really want to see the DR sketch of crimewatch where they start singing its to do with christmas singles. It's my favourite sketch

x

[kagamin283]

[MissMonologue]

Go Dulux! That was the best bit! Though I have to admit the news readers impressions were quite good too.

[hazahaxa]

That's not all that's on the rise!

[simonpercy6]

awesome and very funny, the actual crimewatch was pointless if you ask me, but the LOFR scenes were brilliant!! favourite quotes: Gandalf the White, what a load of arse! i just keep coming back! etc. 10/10 (for the lord of the rings parts)

[CommanderCartwright]

Lol! Gandalf the Tartan. LMAO!!!

Love the reference to Dulux!

Very clever bunch!

[Roopyloo]

[DarthJedi2005]

"I've got a whole Dulux colour chart, and I'm not afraid to use it!"

Brilliant!

[charliec81]

@DarthJedi2005 I think the irony is that, in the original book, Saruman changed from Saruman the White to Saruman the multi-coloured.

[kingjoebluhbluh]
