Shooting Stars - Vic and Bob playing the split keyboard - HD Version

[kraftvolt]

If anyone can tell me what music this is I will be forever in their debt! I know it's probably library music but still can anyone help? Thanks!

[ROCKSOLID19]

As soon as I saw the keyboard I thought "Yes! They are doing the famous keyboard dance!" and then...oh.

[comanchio1976]

@ROCKSOLID19 I was hoping it was that too, Bob's arthritis might be t bad now though..or they just dont wanna be too repetitive

[ROCKSOLID19]

@comanchio1976 The Skanking dance was the finest piece of TV production ever undertaken in history. There is no obvious meaning to it and yet is so bloody funny!

[comanchio1976]

@ROCKSOLID19 Indeed it was. I was in a band when I first saw it, and as such, I had the misfortune of being rather stoned at the time...I nearly ruptured half my internal organs with laughter. It should have come with a warning

[Gareth3579]

Gotta love Vic's facial expression rofl! XD

[FoxTechnoMantra]

I want that music ^^

[HisEmptyHouse]

Henry reacts to being on the show the same way any Vic and Bob fan might if they found themselves sharing a stage with Vic and Bob. What a wonderful gent he is.

[comanchio1976]

@HisEmptyHouse I completely agree. It's hilarious from the comfort of your own settee, but my tiny mind would be blown all over the floor if I was there

[johnanthonyp]

@HisEmptyHouse Reap what you sow as well, my friend. He and the Tiswas crew used to do exactly the same to their guests back in the day-when he was a young man-just as hilarious

[ursie1986]

I actually love this tune

[pompeypirate]

Love Vic and Bob! Bob's expression at 0;45 is just mental!

[LadyHarrington2k]

This is the funniest clip ever, can't stop watching it...LOL!

[radensetiyaki]

split mine?

[lycanwichmark21]

what episode is this???

[pompeypirate]

@lycanwichmark21 Series 6 Episode 5. This series (and the one after it) are available to buy. Play.com have it for about a fiver. Money well spent!

[Gammylicious]

Is it me or does it look sped up just as they start playing and making the funny faces?

[pompeypirate]

@Gammylicious Yeah, I can see what you mean. The background shapes and colours certainly move faster but I don't know if that because it was sped up. Still a quality clip!

[fuckamericanidiot]

shut up lenny, you're a nice guy but you're not at all funny

[Destro7000]

@fuckamericanidiot he wasn't trying to be funny, he was reacting

[fuckamericanidiot]

@Destro7000 he's always trying to be funny!

[Destro7000]

@fuckamericanidiot nah, he was just dumbfounded at what he saw.

[fuckamericanidiot]

@Destro7000 it isn't very difficult to do that to lenny henry

[Destro7000]

@fuckamericanidiot  does difficulty matter?

[moviefact1]

i love this video/melody

[Marrrio64K]

They are taking the mick out of Kraftwerk lol this is brilliant!

[vanillaorchid]

Fabulous.

[namelessjake]

I love Lenny's reaction

[ubersockz]

this is great for watching but i'd have no idea what was happening if i went on, this show is just sheer comedy genius

[MagikGimp]

Old age just isn't funny...

[NuclearPuppy]

Anyone know what this means or signifies?

[billybifocals]

@NuclearPuppy i dont think the spiltting of the keyboard signifies anything, its just Vic and Bob being Vic and Bob, completely random and insane humour. Take the drain pipes for example, so random lol

[ImprovedMexican]

@billybifocals Yeah, infact, the show Shooting Stars is described as a vehicle for their surrealist humour.

[comanchio1976]

@billybifocals Vic and Bob were random, before random was random..innit!

[Destro7000]

@NuclearPuppy why do you think it signifies anything? it doesn't have any meaning!

[chrisjoneschrisjones]

@NuclearPuppy why does it have to signify anything??? i think your missing the point {un1ess your being ironic and im a sucker!}

[pompeypirate]

@NuclearPuppy Vic was asked this question in a article in the Guardian. He said, "The sketch represents the sense of middle class angst and ennui prevalent in today's modern world. This feeling of existential dread comes to the fore especially at dinner parties [where Bob and I were] when suddenly from behind the façade of talk about mortgages, over privileged children and sexual frustration bursts forth our true emotions of confusion and crushing disappointment [interpreted by our expressions]

[MadOldPete]

@NuclearPuppy the discursive split between public and private life, and the numerous and fascinating dichotomies it entails. please let me know if you want me to write you a well-cited thesis dissecting the subject.

[JHmagic1]

funny and scary

[Chap88Baxter]

One of the funniest things I've ever seen

[bunklefee]

lol bob's face. like a grieving horse selling bicarbonate of soda in court.

If I ever become famous, this is the show i want to be a guest on!

[slayerman50]
