Vic Reeves Taste Tests the Lemonade

[mcjprr]

If met Vic Reeves, I'd have no desire other than to smack him in the face. (Q April 1994)

[mcjprr]

I've watched this god knows how many times, it's halarious!!! Was morrissey the consumer monkey only in it twice?

[transonicbuoy1]

Morrissey was pissed off with it. I clearly remember an interview with him at the time, urging Bob "to get out of that partnership", or similar.

[mcjprr]

@transonicbuoy1

Q: Doyouhave any thoughts on VicReeves's creation, MorrisseyTheConsumerMonkey?I saw it for a split second and instantly loathed its creator. It was meant to be hurtful. I've met Vic Reeves a few times and it hasn't gone too well. He is a person who cannot close his mouth for three seconds because he feels he'll disintegrate into a bowl of dust. He has to keep going on and on and on. Completely loathsome. Bob Mortimer, I liked. I think he should make a hasty exit from that duo.

[mcjprr]

@mcjprr That was from Q, 1992.

[Segaman19]

This episode was on last night.

[78s4FR]

Blimey. Don't he look young on here

[nollynuts]

It looks a bit like David Walliams

[vbb123]

who's the third chap in the top hat? two are charlie higson and simon day, who's t'other?

[Catalyst2]

Awesome series! Raves and Reeves! What great years these were!!!

[moosey62]

Did that really piss Morrisey off? I would have thought he love it.

[lex10]

They were friends, actually. Vic sang on Morrissey's "The Loop" b/w "That's Entertainment" single.

[FranBMan]

Really? I always heard he hated Vic and thought Mortimer was the talented one.

[karatefella]

...And later in the show we'll be having a man who is half banister, and he'll be sliding down himself !

[FranBMan]

This pissed Morrissey off so much, hahahah.

[towerblockrock]

He actually liked it.

He's still a fucking CUNT, though.

[Stej2k6]

LMFAO FRUIT SINCLAIRE.

[sundaeg1rl]

Slightly tart ;-)

[sparksrule]

Reeves and Mortimer had a knack for creating hilarious names. See Barnes Wallis on the NYBNO

[towerblockrock]

Barnes Wallace was a real person. He invented the bouncing bomb. Hence 'bouncing egg timer'

[bennymutant]

We need more of this! more les and lister stuff!

[quadr0phenic515]

Ahahahahah. That's brilliant.

(I lol'd, and I'm American. Sooo...)

[bthomehub2]

morrisey the consumer monkey

HA!

[tireoghainian]

Myself and a group of pals back in Ireland watched one of the first episodes of this in 1990 with our mouths open and from the next episode were totally addicted! I didn't think Americans knew of him.

[roaduser]

a young charlie higson to boot aswell! class

[servalan42]

Heh - I love Vic Reeves!!! Thanks!  As an American I can't get these any other way! :)

[Smiff74]

Sorry wasn't referring to you Lex, if you find british humour funny, nice one. I was refering Marzimmer.

[Smiff74]

well spotted Jaychristie, but that's part of the fun.

[Smiff74]

Americans aren't supposed to find it funny, as they don't have a sense of humour anyway.

[lex10]

But- but - I'm an American!!!!

[opticneuralinterface]

hahah, fucking awesome. He's definately one of my favourite characters on the show. Along with Judge Nutmeg and of course, the Fox from Series 1, heheheh

ROFL

[sparksrule]

Alan Davison, the cheeky foul-mouthed fox

[jaychristie909]

I hate to point it out but the shirt is clearly visible when it its removed

still funny though

[carolines5696]

Loved it then love it now

[MarZimmer]

Not the slightest bit funny.

[lex10]

Thanks, Vic!

[hammbetta]

cbviously a pathetic american brought up on friends and cheers and such unfunny american claptrap
