George Dawes - Peanuts (Shooting Stars)

[bishworth]

If you are unhappy, make your voice heard. Write a complaint in to the BBC

[bishworth]

I wrote to the BBC to complain about it being axed They gave me this generic response. Less space my arse. (see both posts)

Thanks for contacting us regarding 'Shooting Stars.' We understand you're unhappy the series has been decommissioned. 'Shooting Stars' has been a great addition to the BBC Two schedule, however, we regularly have to make difficult decisions with regard to which shows to commission and unfortunately sometimes they will prove to be unpopular with sections of the audience.

[bishworth]

In future there will be less space on BBC Two for comedy/entertainment panel shows so sadly 'Shooting Stars' won't be returning. We'd like to thank Vic and Bob for everything they've brought to the channel over the years. Thanks once again for contacting us.

Kind Regards

BBC Complaints

[Kompoism]

Agreed with @hardtoesxplain & @Garbomovies! TBH I was not aware it had been cancelled until I saw your comments! Mrs Brown's boys is not funny. Its just a bloke in drag swearin, and having family in ireland you would think I find it funny but I dont. Shooting Stars has brought us Matt Lucas and Angelos Epithemiou.....both have made their own careers out of Shooting Stars.....whats not successful or valid about that BBC?

[Garbomovies]

How can shows like Miranda and Mrs. Brown's boys get multiple series whereas this genius show gets axed? The BBC comedy commissioners don't care about quality any more. They're essentially the bankers of the TV world.

[hardtoesxplain]

@Garbomovies Well said.

[nhn907e]

@flameybadger pedantic cockring

[hardtoesxplain]

Well done to Shooting Stars for winning the best comedy panel show award last night,thats one in the eye for BBC Bosses for axing the show.

[gazdavephillips]

Top comment get in lol

[110CheekyChick]

lol Bob Realises That He Is Trying Not To Laugh When He Says The Last 'PEANUTS!' So He Starts howling to put him off Ugh Classic Comedy Done In A Totaly Stupid Way x The Old ones Were Deffinetly Better :D

[CaptainAidan]

hysterical. matt lucas is one of the best comic actors ever. I never get tired of this clip.

[JellyTot29]

Sometimes I wonder what exactly Calvin Harris looks up on youtube..

[coffeelover94x]

calvin harris sent me here.. wtf..

[tiganucostica]

Calvin Harris sent me here!

[DivasManiaHD]

he has lost a Lot of wait

[MrRandomer99]

what the hell?!!

Random. but VERY enjoyable

LOL

[joejuneau]

The best bit is Jeremy Edwards completely not getting it

[ROCKSOLID19]

I nearly shat myself with the laughter!!!

[Aaron51801]

Fckin LOL

[elafonisi08]

That was the inspiration for Andy Pipkin

[retrofectjamie]

still the best thing he's ever done.

[HONZIK20]

00:40 Love the way Bob laughs, sabotaging George's final attempt to deliver the line. He's like a man lying in wait with a shotgun.

[weirds0up]

@HONZIK20 actually, I think George is making rude gestures to vic and bob behind his back at that point which is what causes bob to laugh

[boulevardrecords]

Whats this supposed to be from?

[simonpenum]

Badly drawn boy!

[TheOilBaron1975]

I love how Curtis Stigers has not got a clue what is going on. THAT is why this show was sublime. I'll miss you Shooting Stars.

[smallblueclouds]

Love the tracksuit + shoes combo.

[hardtoesxplain]

the bbc need a big slap for axing one of my favourite shows, why can`t they axe downton scabby or that bloody ballroom show instead. BASTARDS!!

[GibbVids]

@hardtoesxplain downton 'scabby' is ITV...

[flameybadger]

@hardtoesxplain Downton abbey is on itv...

[simon8298]

The BBC are bastards for cancelling this show!! If i had a TV licence i would tear it up and throw it in the bin!

[ThatIzzyGirl]

@simon8298 I pray to god another channel picks it up because it's TOO GOOD. The BBC are complete morons.

[simon8298]

@ThatIzzyGirl I am bloody devastated!  End of an era... excuse me while i go and cry in the corner :(

[hardtoesxplain]

@ThatIzzyGirl i heard the beeb are axing shooting stars , maybe Dave or some other channel may snap them up.

[WipeoutStar]

@ThatIzzyGirl Sky say they are in talks with Vic and Bob. If they pick it up i wonder who the Capt.s will be?

[thephoenixflashify]

Try not to laugh at this. It hurts.

[Coolyboy690]

Me and my bro were watching this episode. We couldn't stop laughing and we still remember it to this day

[th0masjw1]

This is so funny!!  I keep coming back to it and watching it!! Vic is absolutely pissing himself in the background!!

[legojerry342]

epic

[kinglemo]

Vic collapsing into himself in the background makes this even funnyer.

[chloeveitch1]

I remember seeing this when it was first aired, laughed until i cried, still do

[andythepostie85]

fuckkn genius!

[andythepostie85]

fuckkin genius!

[PaulMJohnson]

It's the question at the end that makes it, "what's the song about?"

[MisterPreacherman]

Best minute of my life

[GordonMorrice]

Where would one purchase a green 1970s tracksuit as worn by Mr Dawes?

[JonnyYoureNotAWinner]

@GordonMorrice The green 1970s tracksuit shop sells them I think

[GordonMorrice]

@JonnyYoureNotAWinner Oh fuck - I just went to the Red 1970s Tracksuit Shop and experienced disappointment and confusion!

[JonnyYoureNotAWinner]

@GordonMorrice Ahh, a common mistake amongst many coloured 1970s tracksuit buyers!

[geoffdoor]

was this made after his ex partner killed himself COKE HEAD

[barclayhardcore81]

Never mind the bridal music I want this playing when I'm going out of the church

[rory372]

43 people don't like peanuts!

[DavidAttenlope]

42 people are allergic to peanuts

[andrekek]

SHDYVOX, :)

[andrekek]

SHDYVOX, :)

[ellikwl]

SHADYVOOOOOOX!

[ornfree]

This video absolutely creases me.

My favourite moment is 0:32 seconds where he thumb-points at, what I guess is, the rediculous-ness and jovality of the cheap music!

[jacko771]

@ornfree I think Matt does that because he can hear Vic pissing himself behind him, which sets Matt off aswell.

[killTHEIRidols]

@ornfree I always thought it was Vic laughing myself...

[wiganrlfc]

anyone know the name of the tune in the background?

[marcmischief]

When the bridge section comes in, that is brilliant

[555hugs]

i love how vic is completely losing it in the background as well. I remember johnny vegas on that shooting stars documentary saying that he was physically in pain from laughing so hard

[YoutuneMJ]

@555hugs yeah, apparently he threw up

[jpkps65]

im lahing my head off ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[benzytv]

Is this the funniest thing ever..? Must be in with a shout surely...

[DannyEastes]

i have no idea why i find this show so funny. really when you analyze it, it just simply cannot be funny. BUT IT REALLY IS

[imortalwombat]

wait isnt that andy?

[DannyEastes]

@imortalwombat same guy that plays him yeah, and he does seem to be wearing the same head gear

[imortalwombat]

@DannyEastes yea i know it was the same guy

[MurdocB7]

@imortalwombat its the forerunner to him this is where he first used the wig

[TheVerve480]

"It's abaat Peanuts!!"

[groovynut222]

Love it when things go wrong

[wilde1978]

i don't know about you i cried with laughter when i first saw this . PEANUTS

[goodlad22]

i swear some fella came into my shop and said excuse me wherse ya erm clicked his fingers twice and said peanuts, i laughed my head off and he was looking at me in a strange way

[calman610]

He looked so vulnerable haha. Quality.

[clarkgun]

PEANUTS!

[gazdavephillips]

this is by far the funniest thing ever on youtube

[smallblueclouds]

@gazdavephillips

ABso-fucking-lutely

I can't watch it all the way through without crying with laughter.

[katiee611]

I Love this song!! SOOOOO funny! PEANUTS!!! x

[wairua01]

I actually snort laughed when I watched this.

[TheOtotheD]

This is my favourite 'George's Song' along with Baked Potato. Never gets boring.

[daveevans22]

This is the FUNNIEST thing I have ever seen....Off the cuff comedy at it's best

[daveevans22]

Crying with laughter watching this.....Comedy at it's best

[shiix]

Lady gaga is apparently going to sample this :L :L <3

[JFredUK]

There used to be an advert shown on the local cinema, yesrs ago, for, 'Jungle Fresh', which were a brand of salted peanuts, (or which you couldn't buy in any shops anywhere), which would have a Tarzan type character shout, 'PEANUTS!!!!', at the end of the ad. I'm not saying it is, but maybe this might be where they got the idea from...?  Still bloody funny, though.

[gunnygungungun]

Does anyone know where I can get the lyrics?

[Coolyboy690]

@gunnygungungun I think I know them not sure I think It's PEANUTS *laugh* PEANUTS

[TChilds1967]

A work of genius; stand aside Shakespeare!

[heaties]

HOLY FUK!!! i remember watching this years ago, i was so young but laughed my balls blue, apparently jonny vegas says this was the funniest thing he has ever witnessed in his life, im not surprised. PEANUTS!

[baward]

The funniest thing I've ever seen :-)

[Kevster1993]

He wears that Tracksuit in Catterick

[christhekopite]

New Shooting Stars tonight 10pm BBC2! can't wait! love this clip PEEEANUTS!!

[galti111]

38 people don't what the song's about!

[stexual]

PEANUTTSSSSSSSSSSSSS



[Porrly]

Pea-hee-hee-hee!

[bigbagpussfan]

at 0:38 when Georgie puts his hands behind his back he must make a rude guesture at Vic and Bob. xD Hilariousness!!!

[fredo51]

sergio tacchini

[dan32113]

36 dislikes? there nuts...

[j1mf1eld]

@dan32113 pea...

[Rulinator]

Fair dues, comments that start with "thumps up if..." and "*X AMOUNT OF PEOPLE*" referring to people who dislike the video are the choice of the wanker and the shittest and least funny thing about youtube. They need to be stricken off the internet along with the pro/anti Beiber obsessives... Rant over.

Anyway, top top video. Pant pissingly funny! Top marks for George Dawes for making Bob corpse when he seems to flick him the V's at 0:39. Super stuff.

[Bellocks1]

35 people think this song is about cashews.

[WhiteMoonLights]

whats so funny?i never get this....

[JakusLarkus]

@WhiteMoonLights Basically, George is trying to sing a ridiculous, off-the-kerb song, but because he's so busy trying to compose himself he can't actually say any of the lyrics. Thus, he just ends up pissing himself laughing along with the rest of the panel, and every single person who was watching this on TV :)

[bazzamataz72]

what i love best about brittish humour is that americans will never understand irony even when its shoved in thier faces

[LiekaQueenofDarkness]

If there was ever a moment in anything where every single person in the studio corpsed... :D Especially Vic and Johnny.

[EditingFX1]

Thumbs up if you got bored and typed in peanuts :D

[roaduser]

had a shite day at work? whack this on, problem solved.

[jamiedutton9]

If it can make Vic Reeves laugh, it must be funny.

[02nmiller]

35 people don't know the lyrics to this song!

[mrgarymakin]

LOL.

[mattyaki]

Andy Pipkin before he was disabled...

[97channel]

@mattyaki ...Yeah, I know.

[54spatula]

I want this at my funeral!

[lucyandnyuuatonce]

@54spatula

He was of course, not actually disabled remember :p

[anthonythirteen]

a rather poor performance from Ms Dawes here. Clearly she doesn't have the profesionalism of the original version of the song, Mr Roger Whitaker. You wouldn't see Mr Whitaker laughing inanely at what is one of the most heart-rending songs ever written - which would regularly move me to vomit at its pathos and bathos.

[nenevalleyharrier]

Genius!

[Lazyplaye]

PEANUTS!!!!

[ProsperosCloset]

Wonderful!!



[philipkeaveney777]

32 people are allergic to peanuts.

[YaticTV]

i dont get it

[LondonIrishRover]

@YaticTV ...It's about peanuts

[MrMcgive]

I like it when he says peanuts.

[definty]

you can see where the insperation of andi and lou came from

[dancingbrave24]

Would love to hear that sung in the style of a club singer

[TheAverageFox]

Best song ever.

[ChaosmusicEX]

The music makes it even more hilarious.

[maxassumption]

This is some of the finest comedy ever.

[MrKoiking1]

P I N G A S ! ! ! ! ! ! !

[Uxoriouswidow]

HE'S laughing and he can't even see himself doing it in the ridiculous toupe and tracksuit.

[attackyourselfdj]

He looks like Tom from The Chemical Brothers circa 1999

[weirdnessofthem]

Looks like an early andy Pipkin.

[DrunkNinja19]

@weirdnessofthem It is. Seriously, that's the actor a few years back.

[weirdnessofthem]

@DrunkNinja19 I know that, But im saying, because Obviously this was Around before Little britain was Introduced, But I thought maybe this was where Matt lucas got the Andy Pipkin look from.

[DrunkNinja19]

@weirdnessofthem Fair enough. Yeah, might be actually.

[jimgem85]

Classic, lol =)

[GhostDog65]

Hmmm, 

[BubbleBobble1996]

I've now watched this about 12 times in a row and I'm litterally in tears xD No matter how many times I watch it I can't help but laugh!

[goodlad22]

he was laughing because his eyes looked big in his glasses on the big screen he was looking at

[professormandrake]

Poor Curtis Stigers. Didn't have a clue what was going on

[Garmort]

30 people don't know what the song is about.



[Soundfrequency]

@Garmort

30 people are tdvj dflknsdf;kljn.......

[sony8877]

this is the only song where he messed up the lyrics!

[turkeyneck08]

Thats what Badly Drawn Boy looks like without his hat on

[livedder99]

@turkeyneck08 OR BOY GEORGES PLUMBER.

[JoeLordTV]

Whats the song about

MAD PEANUTS!

[mikeyman6]

@JoeLordTV he says bout peanuts

[blobby1972]

I love mel smith he's great

[KHAAAAAAAANNN]

I just love how he gets himself composed and then Bob burst's out laughing @ 0:40... ;-D

Shooting Stars is the best.

[Lazyplaye]

@KHAAAAAAAANNN

I think he swears behind his back, that's why they laugh haha

[djehuty13]

I like the bit when he talks about peanuts :)

[incremental9]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHAHAAA­A

[TsoLan1]

LOL at Llamyr (sorry dont know how its spelt)

he is pissing himself!

[FFSSAKE]

@TsoLan1 Lamarr isn't even there!

[tr4nc3z0n3uk]

LMFAO :D

[sleeming88]

BAHT PEANAHTS!!!

[scallysong]

Superb!

[monotrious]

Fu****g Funny As F***!Who the F***!Thumbed this down?!

[lycanwichmark21]

wooooooooo andy pipkin...vic's absolutely pissing himself in the background...XDDD

[lickstickly]

i love how on the last 2 times he tries to say it Vic laughs and breaks George up then on the last one Bob times his laugh to perfection and he breaks again, reminds me of the caravan sketch that they did as well, i think we Brits love it when people fuck up more than anything

[ProsperosCloset]

@lickstickly You bet we don't ... I mean DO ... sorry!



[pdj8484]

I could watch this over and over, and I have! My favourite part of the video is 0.13 - 0.16 with George's little laugh followed by Bob "COME ON GEARGE PEANUTS!"

[Willsterdude3000]

I don't know why I find this so funny...

[fro7k]

Anyone memorized the words to this?

[vstarbiker]

Wait! What? Umm-- Which? Ahh, coke, weed, liquor, or a combination? Whasat?

[sloopyscruncher]

haha who is this guy? he should become a comedian!

[TheXXxSavagexXx]

@sloopyscruncher

its matt lucas from little britain

[Pommit]

@sloopyscruncher - Who?

[Gator2302]

I like the bit at 0.38 where Bob laughs deliberately to put George off!

[corsarick1982]

Thanks Tim (Something for the weekend) you have just made my day by reminding me of this classic HAHA

[NeverlandFlyer]

@corsarick1982 Thought I'd check this out after hearing him mention it. Biggest waste of my time. Ever.

[corsarick1982]

@NeverlandFlyer Well i thought it was funny and so did 1,283 ppl

[defmetal81]

Thexxxsavagexxx: it brought me here

[edmull]

[TheXXxSavagexXx]
