Johnny Vegas on Room 101 - Internet Chatrooms

[edrusharry]

One of the few things to make me laugh out loud at the telly, pure genius 8)

[ickleoli]

It's the moment when he says

'She actually complimented me on the sandwiches'

I was crying with laughter before, but that part near killed me.

[TheDroozle]

Hillarious

[blueluny]

The real quality of this is how it seems like a confessonal .... i remember watching this the first time on tv . a genuine brilliant moment from the beeb

[usedfuzzbox]

First time I saw this I genuinely cried with laughter, and for years, myself and friends who had happened to see it too, tried to describe the "Beauty's Castle" part of this episode. This, and Johnny's TV Heaven, Telly Hell appearence some years later, are stand out moments for me that I wont ever forget. God bless Johnny.

*salutes*

[zafarjunaid]

Lmfaooo i love how he says ''because its..Crap!'' at the end, to hollyoaks! LOL

[psychotron9]

A Virtual picnic - genius

[inveraldo]

vagas is brilliant,he's come on with a seed of an idea of what he's going to say but the majority of it is ad-lib and off the cuff,that fact that most people dont see that shows how good he is, one of britains best comic brains.

[MrWarrenLO]

@inveraldo

Very true but that style requires a controlled environment.

Vegas as a standup is quite mediocre but that's only because his act borders between pure anarchy and insanity, what you get on the night could be the greatest show you've ever seen or a complete train wreck.

If however he has someone to feed off who can kind of steer him and prevent in inevitable spiralling out of control he's on of the best comics in the UK.

This bit speaks to Merton almost as much as it does Vegas.

[inveraldo]

@MrWarrenLO . Thats a fair piont mr warren, have seen his stand-up and your right

[pennydesouza]

Wow, Johnny Vegas is interesting to watch.

Paul Merton's reaction!

[mojopin70]

vegas is a fat slob and his rambling trying to be surreal and funny at the same time make me cringe!

[KingOfTheShrews]

@mojopin70

You don't understand standup if you don't get Johnny Vegas

[mojopin70]

i get it , hes just fat , boring and unfunny though...vic and bob are funnier.

[mrkristoff]

You could post a video of a bird flying on youtube and someone would pipe up with an opinion and/or mean spirited, uneduacted comment.

This is class. Merton & Vegas are brilliant in their own right.

[GoblinXXX]

@mrkristoff Someone had filmed their pet rabbit eating a piece of banana, and dubbed in "la la la laa la", and posted it as "Singing Bunny"-- Just a cute little harmless video. I was amazing how many comments were complaints about it being "fake" or a "waste of time" were on it. Like the idiots had expected either an ACTUAL singing rabbit, or some million dollar special effects masterpiece. YouTube swarms with trolls.

[TheRealAlanPartridge]

Mertons confused when hes with Johnny ..because he doesnt know what comedy is.

Johnnys in a different league to this twat

[alwayswinit4real]

@TheRealAlanPartridge Paul Merton is literally one of the most learned comedians in the world on the subject of comedy. He's written books about silent comedy. He's studied his art more than just about any comedian in England.

He's also far wittier than Johnny Vegas (who I don't dislike), and in truth is just a cut above him in every aspect.

[BlueLeopard200]

Johnny Vegas is as funny as cancer

[tiger55331]

I haven't laughed this much in ages!!

[MrDavetheman]

Im going to shit myself ahahha 

[LisaKee73]

Unabashed, meet me in the turret please xx

[Mayna00]

This has the same effect on me that Peep Show has.

Cringeworthy, embarrassing to watch, but HILARIOUS.

[cyberskin1]

one of the absolute highlights of this programme!

[thatdrattedcat]

This is like watching a really intense therapy session and Merton is the entirely disapproving and disgusted therapist... he's trying hard not to show it though so points to him for that...?

[DTX85]

on the website beautyscastle they have a message at the top saying: "As Seen on BBC Television's "Room 101" with "Johnny Vegas"

[AnnatarYoung]

I love the bit at 6:15 where he's so hysterical, he can't answer! XD

[brosue4]

Can't stop laughing.....

Must stop playing Second Life...

[xendon68]

What a legend! Virtual picnic complimeneted on the sandwiches, lmao

you need to have an imagination to relate to and love what hes articulating. Pure genius

[Ellie0111]

Just love this.... I want a virtual picnic with Unabashed!!!

[Dedokai32]

Listen to mertons pathetically fake laugh, pretentious twat

[bellboy64]

I didn't like Johnny Vegas originally (when his act basically consisted of an incoherant and loud rant) but when he sobered up he really is a great guy. Seeing him so vulnerable like this is... so shocking.

It's great television. Why the hell did they cancel Room 101?

[TheAnxiousMan]

@bellboy64 this was before she sobered up

[fishbone342]

I remember this... it was fecking great

Michael Pennington is a class act :)

[Nerfi]

I wonder if Jezebell tried to contact Johnny after this. Either way, I empathized with this a lot. It was kind of scary, glad I got out of that world well long ago.

[bareakon]

@Nerfi i got out of that world, but people keep bringing it back to haunt me :,(

[Dhammond5]

I have been on that site after watching this and it genuinely says at the tp of the site 'As Seen on BBC Television's "Room 101" with "Johnny Vegas"', lol

[Dhammond5]

This is quite possibly the most iv ever laughed while watching Room 101,lol

[cky0725]

I only like this becuz of johnny Vegas

[plumdom]

this is so pathos

[dayiiv]

johnny is probably the quickest mind in comedy. he can make up anecdotes that seem real and disturbing in a flash.

[Bobthemonkey675]

@dayiiv Even when drunk

[thomasimon]

What was it like for someone who was playing this online pissthing and then saw Johnny on this show?

[Cokecakepopcorn]

Johnny<3

[mico2020]

classic clip

[mico2020]

comedic therapy lol

[Nfusco]

Yes yes your a fucking hero man ..... Your one of a kind and don't ever change!!!

[yautja89]

i love the way it goes from a bit jokey to a honest out-and-out confession and clearing of his conscience

[gr1283]

Johnny Vegas is either a brilliant actor or is genuinely insane

[edstercw]

Habbo Hotel was my addiction. Now I go on Omegle for a graphicsless quick fix

[spider5600]

lol the way he describes his addiction to chatrooms makes me feel better about the time when i was, Virtual Picnics, Virtual Car Parks, Virtual towns. Christ Im glad i eventually got over all that.

[mig11280]

I love how he's talking about very private things. I would never admit to going on chat rooms on national TV. Like i would never admit to reading slash fiction. The man has balls

[math581]

@mig11280 So true...

[Minteh88]

The worst thing is I find all of that so familiar I can barely see why the audience finds it funny D:

[Ruthiehottie1]

So bloody funny lol hehe, can not stop laughing

[RoonJazz]

This was the best Room 101 ever. I also loved the Frank Skinner one - brilliant!

[Jascender]

lol Merton at 6:00

[nWoBarney]

I cannot stop watching this!!! He just comes across as being a mate of your's, the way he goes on etc!

[Jarons20]

I love Johnny, both drunk and sober

[R1CH130]

fanbloodytastic hahahah

[strawblonde457]

not big fan of vegas buthis had me in stiches

[PocketRocketPRP]

one of the best bits on youtube, but that hollyoaks bit seemed edited?

[FunkyWorm3288]

@PocketRocketPRP I agree about the Hollyoaks bit seeming like it was edited

[Hazey1215]

Hilarious!!!

[GoldenRatio]

Merton seems genuinely horrified here haha.

[welshfilmbuff]

"Why don't you like Hollyoaks?"

"Because it's... crap!"

You can't argue with that, can you?

[somerandomer]

never seen much of vegas but never instinctively liked him. have to admit though, the bit about the pub on the internet had me in stitches

[Gorebash]

Superb stuff.

[TuRdSandwitch18]

is he drunk here? lol

[DamoM3]

Absolutely Brilliant!!.

[iisgonnasmackurface]

there must be an edit where he says hollyoaks being crap.... wonder wt else he said....

[randomguy1774]

ROFL " I never lied, me gland's went wrong.."

[Makron5]

Beauty's Castle really does exist and it is a BDSM chat website holy crap :o

[pfly111]

love the expressions on mertons face. Thinking wtf is he on about. LOL

[jayrichsim]

Johnny is a legend, this is amazingly funny.

[ooblushy88oo]

Funniest video I've ever seen!

[astraman84]

I love how he was laughing too hard to say "jezzabell".

[Nameless164]

"I've been on a virtual picnic"

Oh this is just too good!

[AaronIzzard]

i'm favouriteing this.

This is funny, realy funny.

[niemanickurwa]

This was without doubt one of the fucking funniest things i've ever watched.

[beermonster08]

I remember this when it was shown, CLASSIC! LMAFAO

[RoonJazz]

"Unabashed" ! He's going freehold! x Fab.

[russelltrigger]

lol

[speckle126]

The shame when he says beauty's castle, AHA

[ntbarrow]

"You realise you've been chatting to your mam" Glorious!

[Zigiwy]

Epic!
