Punt & Dennis explain "Spot the Stiff"

[MsBkirk]

I thought of Hugh Dennis doing The Forger's voice in The Great Escape when the film was shown again last Christmas!

[OmegaRFox]

Where did they do this one?

[TheRob5]

5 people aren't coming with us because they can't see.

[bettyswumcrack]

DEAD!

[VimtoUK]

Nearly 20 years on and I still play this when watching films today. My favourite line to use is 'I think we know...'

[DeadlyV1RU5]

Hugh looks creepily young in this video. I'm used to seeing him in his 40's like on Mock the Week. Anyone know how long ago was this filmed?

[VimtoUK]

@DeadlyV1RU5 This was out in 1991/2 - my last year at college - we all gathered round the TV to watch it.

[nillhouse]

@VimtoUK lol, Yep, I used to tape it off the radio, and play it in the 5th year common room at school! Brill stuff!

[Dungbeetleproduction]

punt & dennis kinda looks like eric idle and ed o'neill

[Weewoodyjnr]

@tomsega yeah he looks and sounds just like him

[judef666]

i love at 0:26. they are just leaning to one side

[tomsega]

Punt reminds me of Eric Idle

[tantive4]

Whenever I play "Spot the stiff" while watching Casualty, I do the hand gesture at 2:05. Dead Dog. Dog Dead.

[AndrewJimScott]

What year?

[Skelex20]

1994

[dylandior123]

They look so young here LOL

[ninnysamra]

No wonder Dennis was more successful later on, he clearly was more talented

[xXxHirokoxXx]

Totally, hes amazing!! :D

[mooseven]

That's a bit harsh. Punt just plays the straight man and sets up the jokes - it's his job to be normal and unassuming while Hugh pulls the funny faces and does the impressions etc.

[JumpinJesus14]

holy shit steve punt is the image of eric idle

[JamieCartell]

Sounds like him, aswell.

[Ultimusprime999]

i agree too definite resemblance

[evilmurderproduction]

@JumpinJesus14 holy fuck your right

[luvcomedy123]

wat show is this?

[VonBlade]

Jesus Tsi!!

I would ask "THE Tsietisin?", but clearly there is only one :D

And great taste in comedy good sir.

[IxAmxDataxDog]

brilliant.i happen to think hugh is rather gorgeous also.

:)

[xXxHirokoxXx]

definatly :P x

[00hla]

genius =)

i actually think hugh dennis is rather gorgeous =)

[Fosterzzzzzz]

Yes, he's a catch, especially with that sinister look LOL

[QuasiMolko]

That standing angle freaks the bejaysus out of me, and it gets WORSE as the routine goes on.

[sianipants]

hugh's dog impression= greatest thing ever

[sabakyuugaara]

LOL hugh is soooooo funny!

[blacklotus808]

sometimes they are call redshirts.

[blacklotus808]

HA HA HA

In Star Trek ensigns with no name all ways get wasted

"ensign expendable"

as they are known....

[themitch1966]

Actual script-

Kirk:"Okay, the Planet exploratory team will be Me,Spock,Dr McCoy,Checkov. . . and that guy over there."

Guy in red Shirt"Nooooo!"

[oesien]

Is it just me or does Punt look like Eric Idle´s younger brother? :)

[gambamama]

That is SO true! I was thinking the same thing myself :)

[biffyclyro1811]

Seen them aswell, the 'We, are an island nation!' and 'Microsoft terminate' sketches are funnier, but this is still awesome.

[shirobane]

I remember seeing this on TV years ago. All the clips at the end were interspersed throughout the rest of the show which worked better.

[spanglehall]

nice suits

[norsef]

Brilliant, Hugh still does that blind forger impression given any chance. Wonder when it started.

[moochin]

These guys are funny

[Joey300000]

i went to see them last month cos id seen hugh on mock the week

too true, the velociraptor sketch is hilarious!!!

[philidamo]

I've seen them twice in Exeter, they are so great. I especailly love the velosaraptor (does it begin with a psy?!) skit!

[MrDragonfly07]

these guys are really hilarious. ive seen them live and they were brilliant then too

[armybuilder1]

Dead

Funnist ive seen them both for a while

[frizzyizzy80]

LMAO I love them both ♥

[screwball101]

Cessna 1972 - twat

[lutonlutonalltheway]

wots funny is evrythin they say ere is true

[foxismuk]

That's probably the youngest I've seen Hugh look!

[gaboteach]

Very funny, I enjoyed it a lot. for a second I thought the movies at the end were real old movies. Fantastic. Thank you man.

[xxPointedHorizonsxx]

lol, I love Punt and Dennis. I saw them live a few days ago on their tour and I was crying with laughter. They used a few lines from their old stuff, especially "Let me come with you. I can see. I can see perfectly..." but most of it was new. It's a definate must see. :D

[Kinitawowi]

I saw them in Manchester. They were ace. :D We even got the Tongue Twister Minister, Tony Shannon and Neil Pye, Jimmy Saville, Milky Milky and loads of the other TV stuff. Ah, memories.

[freyjawinterson]

both of their suits are a little bit too big :P

[xeddieizzardx]

um...of course.

[ash88888888]

Woof woof woof woof woof orrrr

[ash88888888]

Dead.

[hungrycamel]

DEAD!

[CurruptCookiE]

Oh c'mon... he surely is... DEAD!

[brettsherman]

Thing is, it's so true!

There is a US war film where the washed up NAvy Captain is chasing a sub. And the young man who gets his hands accidentally crushed when the Capt orders the depth charges fire? Toy maker!

[mzmadmike]

He died!

[welshdevondragon]

Who died?

[weirdsoup]

Let me come with you. I can see. I can see perfectly...

[xeddieizzardx]

Dead.

[maxster1143]

HE MUST BE DEAD!

[Dude421]

Dead!
