(1/2) Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle: Toilet Books (S01 E01)

[TheInconvenientTooth]

I dont like Jeremy Clarkson but "Saplings I Have Crushed" is comic genius!

[flutterandwow]

The 'rappers' part in this program is honestly some of the most sophisticated and daring comedy I've ever seen. And I almost pissed my pants laughing...

[StanPomeray]

Genius.

[jussymucky]

hahaha one funny man

[fdantheman]

Stewart Lee's Toilet Show

[DJpopel]

I SAW THE RAPPERS

[louiecostello]

a lavatory visit has never come so quickly as when I've watched this clip

[DrChalkwithering]

The funny thing is, the toilet is where I do my best thinking. It seems conducive to intellectual activity, so really a toilet book should be something high-brow and challenging.

[Badkarma333]

@DrChalkwithering At the risk of sounding unpardonably pretentious, it was almost entirely on one particular toilet in college that I read Russell's History of Western Philosophy. A toilet is probably the one place where you have absolutely every right not to be interrupted.

[DrChalkwithering]

@Badkarma333 Seems reasonable.

[tizzard1970]

If Chris Moyles is still the voice of the youth as Radio One tries to portray itself, then I'm General Pinochet

[longrodvonhugendon]

not everyones cup of tea but i love him what a legend!

[gabiotta]

Constantly moaning about the low brow aspirations of others, we have yet to see anything other than guff about who we are now supposed to laugh at from Mr Lee.

"Oh Icaruus, fly not...."

Have a look in the mirror, Stewart.

[K5N86]

I've been watching a few Stewart's videos and i don't know why he gets bookings? Really not funny! He just spent 5mins saying 'you've seen these rap singers' yeah yeah you've seen them, you've seen these rap singers... boring!!

[c0rse]

@K5N86 Ooh you gotta be careful saying that, you'll get Stewart Lee fans calling you stupid!

[Cristinact]

@K5N86 It's a parody, of course, of the wide range of vocabulary the rap singers have

[knaan163]

@K5N86 actually it's more a parody of observational comedy, because observing is literally all he's doing in that bit. 'Have you seen this? have you heard about this?' that kind of thing

[DrChalkwithering]

@K5N86 You must not have seen the rap singers then, otherwise you'd understand. They have them on 'Top of the Pops', and by the Corn Exchange next to the multi-storey carpark. You should go and take a look some time.

[Jcolinsol]

I have no fucking idea what he was trying to communicate with that part about rappers.

No fucking idea.

[olliegillman]

Morrissey's let himself go

[babyshambler]

Eldon makes even the best comedy, better.

[DrunkRussian2]

Woah, you uploaded this on Christmas Day? Respect to you, sir.

[WhamBamThankYouMadam]

so many junk books, so little time

[mrpwase]

I think what is important here is that everyone thinks about whether they have seen the rap singers.

[DrChalkwithering]

@mrpwase I saw some today.

[mrpwase]

@DrChalkwithering Oh really? Where did you see them? Did you see them on the uh, on the Top of the Pops?

[stuartfleming]

uv seen them about, them rap singers

[scottjp31]

thumbs up if you think deniro999 regrets trying to post a critique of stewart lee ;)

[DrChalkwithering]

@scottjp31 I think deniro999 is himself merely a crude satire.

[xBlindFerretx]

I liked Russell Brands book, I'd like to see what he thinks of Twilight. 

[Vitomanz]

10:20 - 13:22

Don't bother watching it its terrible

[SANTARII]

@Vitomanz But I liked it D:

[e1m1b]

@Vitomanz It's meant to be.

[arsenal140]

Why did you spend your Christmas uploading this?

[xmod4itx]

@tishosws then why come onto one of his videos just to tell people who do find him funny that you don't? is it because you are a haughty a lugubrious tosser? or a Dan Brown reader?

[Oldcartoons571]

@xmod4itx Thats what the fucking comment section is for dick. Peoples opinions

[DrChalkwithering]

@Oldcartoons571 And also for others to make fun of your opinions and call you a Dan Brown reader.

[snipski0894]

@tishosws Don't be sorry, there are plenty of awful "comedians" for you to enjoy.

[trallala]

@tishosws Huh! Glad you saw fit to inform us. This changes everything.

[deniro999]

i agree stewart lees cynical comedy about decapitation is utter drivel

[deniro999]

its rubbish. its nowhere near funny its poor taste and shows a man out of his depth deserate for any laugh so he goes for a cheap laugh every time. top gear is also usually a crap show but popular among some middle ages men who like fast cars. jezza clarkson seems to think hes king cool I think hes profoundly uncool. all he ever does is promote speed. the only thing he did of value was promote kingdon brunel

[DuranFan09]

@deniro999 Drivel.

[superhamzah85]

@deniro999

Ok, now go watch your favourite comedians. Instead of coming here to tell us you don't like a comedian that we do.

[yellowcougar18]

A toilet book, huh? I would not use the pages as toilet paper.

[CanineFeces]

@yellowcougar18 I'd like to wipe my ass on Chris Moyles's face.

[yellowcougar18]

@CanineFeces He'd probably enjoy it, take a picture of your ass and his face covered in excrement, and post it on twitter.

'Cos in betwixt being a massive tw@T he is also a massive pervert loser too. Anytime he claims a guest enjoyed their visit to his radio show, their twitter actually says the complete oppossite.

I have heard only passing glimpses of Moyles show and even that was too much. Being electrocuted would be less painful.

[Sboy200]

@CanineFeces i dont think i'll got in to what that say about you.... lol

[deniro999]

moonshine why dont u lecture superflyjohnson who wishes death upon strangers. oh but wait I presume you think thats wonderfully funny? get a life

[deniro999]

supaflyjohnson. BRAVO BRAVO YOU SPEND TIME IN YOUR LIFE WISHING DEATH AND DECAPITATION TO STRANGERS. WOW HOW IRONIC HOW SUBVERTIVE HOW PROFOUNDLY FUNNY AND CLEVER OOOO YOURE SOOO TALENTED. MAYBE YOU SHOULD SHOW IT TO YOUR CHILDREN OR NIECES AND NEPHEWS TO SHOW THEM HOW TALENTED AND DECENT DADDY IS. OH HERE COME SOCIAL SERVICES. YOU ARE PATHETIC IM EMBARASSED FOR YOU. BUT UNLIKE YOU I WISH NO HATE UPON YOU. I HOPE YOU FIND SOMEONE SAVES YOU OR LOCKS YOU UP FOR EVERYONE ELSES SAFETY

[2009lsfds]

@deniro999 well done for having a 1 dimesional perspective on life.

[deniro999]

eyeheart - haha youre vile bullying abuse says all about the type of lowlife you are lol. please dont have kids youre a terrible example to them and the world. you think you can bully your way through life but youre too ignorant to even make 1 sentence without being abusive. go back to prison and read some books lol

[billhicks8]

@deniro999

He was right about you though, and you clearly love Top Gear. You wouldn't be so amusingly upset for any other reason.

[21pm]

feel free to make me look like a dick but why do rap singers run on the hand rail?

[deniro999]

yeah we know hes TRYING to be funny but hes failing. top gear isnt funny either. this is a pitiful excuse for comedy. just simple cheap laughs sick laughs absolutely pathetic beyond belief. how far england has truly fallen. now if you want a laugh try larry david or rhod gilbert amongst many other genius comedians. theyre not sick theyre actually talented and original and unique. yes they shout and swear but they dont just try get cheap laughs about paedophilia. this is so forgettable

[EyeHeartElliottSmith]

@deniro999 Don't lie... you like Top Gear don't you, you bloody love Top Gear. This video is also obviously not forgettable because you're still here, fucking complaining and moaning and getting all riled up over it. Honestly, shut the fuck up. No-one wants to read your pointless opinions.

[careyisthebest]

deniro999 didn't like this.

[deniro999]

on richard hammond crash , ‘I wish he had died in that crash and that he had been decapitated and that his head had rolled off in front of his wife and that a jagged piece of metal debris from the car had got stuck in his eye and blinded him.

‘And then his head had rolled on a few more yards into a pool of boiling oil and that his head had retained just enough neural capacity for him to be able to think “ooh, this is bit hot" before the whole thing exploded into tiny pieces.’

FUNNY? NO

[CanineFeces]

@deniro999 Wrong video.

[eveDjakku]

@CanineFeces lol

[dragonhead44]

@deniro999 It's just a joke. You know, a joke? Like they do on Top Gear.

[SymonGatos]

@deniro999 He's not a real hamster.

[supaflyjohnson]

@deniro999

May it happen to you as well.

[MoonshineRecorder]

@deniro999 Are you intentionally misunderstanding everything he does?

[stelling08]

@deniro999 It's just a joke, like on Top Gear.

[allquietonset]

@deniro999 funny yes.. It's a joke, just like on top gear.

[MrRowrow22]

@deniro999 he was satorising the way that jeremy clarkson makes offencive jokes and then uses "it was just a joke" to get away with it. id rather see you an a few other cunts from the mail offended than the entire races of people good ole jezza slanders on his piss poor show every week.

[funktimusrhyme]

@deniro999

Directly after Richard Littlejohn's quote comes "I don't really think that, what I was doing, as *everyone in this room now understands, just in case there's anyone from the mail on sunday watching this*, is I was using an exagerrated form of the rhetoric and the implied values of top gear to satirise the rhetoric and the implied values of top gear. And it *is* a shame to have to break character and explain that, but hopefully it will save you a long and tedious exchange of emails."

[funktimusrhyme]

@deniro999

When he can literally crouch down in front of the camera and slowly and carefully explain the joke to you and you, in turn, can fail to get it and instead be idiotically outraged, you give up any right to judge him, because you have conclusively shown yourself to be an idiot.

[CCPlaetean]

@funktimusrhyme perfect

[randomcheesecake555]

@deniro999 sorry but yeah i think that is funny. I'd go so far as to say it's hilarious

[MrItsabeautifulday]

@deniro999 Funny, yeah. Really fuckin' funny.

[utar88utar]

@deniro999 it's just a joke... like in top-gear :]

you need 3 digits IQ to get it, mate.

sorry

[shallotson]

@deniro999 It was only a joke. Like on Top Gear.

[roe5745]

@deniro999 Yeah didnt you know, he fucking hates Richard Hammond

[gullivera]

@deniro999 Humour is subjective.

Funny? Well, for some yes.

Quoted out of context by a (And I'm just guessing here) Sun reading, knee-jerking, Jeremy Clarkson worshipping mouth-breather? Very possibly.

[yngvaibucketrucci]

@deniro999 funny? no

better than funny, it was hilarious

[Duffy7654321]

@yngvaibucketrucci Well to be hilarious it must be funny you tit

[yngvaibucketrucci]

@Duffy7654321 as you can probably see I was replying to another comment, if you would bother to read the comment I was replying to then perhaps what I said would make sense

[bigbigsound]

@deniro999 FUCK OFF

[carte0000blanche]

@deniro999 It's just a joke, like on top gear

[DrunkRussian2]

@deniro999 It was just a joke, like on Top Gear, that you like.

[OHHJIZZ]

@deniro999 also, your terrible at quoting material. Its the timing and precise manner Lee delivers his material that makes it funny, you just sound like a cunt.

[t678r]

@deniro999 Watch that video in context and without you're retarded views you will understand it and find out it is funny, sir. You have misunderstood it completely and should be sent back to school.

[lukeisareilly]

@deniro999 That's just a joke, like they do on Top Gear

[textthing]

@deniro999

Funny? Yes.

[101RadioheadCovers]

@deniro999 That was just a joke, like on Top Gear.

[ThatTwatWithCards]

@deniro999 it is satire, he uses the implied values of top gear to then satarise the implied values of top gear, and even breaks character to explain it to muppets like you.

[deniro999]

how is it cynical to mock dead heroes wrongfully of being paedophiles? get your head read

[AConceitedJackass]

@deniro999 He wasn't calling the historical figure of William Wallace a pedophile, he was calling the depiction of William Wallace by Mel Gibson a pedophile.

You obviously don't understand the concept of satire.

[FudgePackProductions]

Chris Moyles didn't like this

[deniro999]

facts? braveheart wasnt a paedophile this is his idea of comedy? I pity him and anyone stupid enough to find this sick drivel funny.

[horsedoctorman]

@deniro999 he was a paedophile, the french princess he shagged was only 9 sorry

[AConceitedJackass]

@deniro999 The stupid..... it hurts. 

[knightstar82]

Chris Moyles - what a cunt.

[deniro999]

i thought his bit about braveheart was typical xenophobic nonsense. great movie. wow it wasnt accurate like all the pro england monarchy films are all so 100% accurate yeah right. \I felt this was all mean spirited and mean populist comedy. typical middle england at its cruel snide cynical cold blooded worst

[mrdarrencottam]

@deniro999 It was hilarious, son.

[bill5755]

@deniro999 Are you kidding or something? It's strange, you explain to us how he's so xenophobic with his well researched views and facts about the film Braveheart, and then make a xenophobic comment like, 'typical middle England at its cruel snide cynical cold blooded worst', lacking commas of course, and contradicting your first point. Also, 'England monarchy films'? Is Braveheart a monarch? Last I checked, he was a knight? Not that this was about Braveheart anyway, wrong video, deniro999.

[revilo314]

@deniro999

How is it cynical?

Do you know what cynical means?

Mean spirited?

To who? Long dead warriors?

Pro-England Monarchy films?

Name one.

[TheWilly2fly]

The rap singers. By the corn exchange. Comedy genius. Love Stuart lee. Hilarious.

[jadencampbell3]

I love how he subtly add's more detail every-time he re-starts the "you know the ah.. the ah.. rappers" 

[ebeneezzer]

Jesus fucking christ.

Death by a thousand cunts.

[withnail555]

"The Top of the Pops" *repeat 300 times*. Shut up Lee, you boring, unfunny fannyclacker.

[A736staz]

@withnail555 go back to watching Michael McIntyre you ignorant douche

[fyshh]

On a side note, Kevin Eldon is both a brilliant & underrated comedy actor. Him & Mark Heap should both receive some sort of award.

[slantyrock]

rapping, parkour, fucking genius.

[mrdavidlea]

tried to lose the audience with his er, the rap singers, you've seen 'em...... but I LOVED IT HA HA

[hufclufc]

Educational humour.......................I teach Business Stidies and used this to illustrate customer profile................... any excuse to watch Lee Stewart at school!

[tvcrunkfool]

@hufclufc i wish you were my teacher

[92RedRevolver]

@hufclufc can you do the world a favour and stop teaching? thanks.

[hufclufc]

@92RedRevolver Can you do the world a favour and shut the fuck up? thanks

[92RedRevolver]

@hufclufc and thereby proving my point for me! you get + awesome points.

[hadithi]

"Once you pop, you just can't stop." Shakespeare, eat your heart out.

[Robwilsonian]

I like the idea they printed up a copy of "The Gospel according to Chris Moyles" in latin for the sketch.

[adamtzsch]

pedantic hilarity

[babuwhite2011]

@adamtzsch What's pedantic about it?

[adamtzsch]

@babuwhite2011 Pretty much all of it.

[jamesknox64]

@adamtzsch If we're being really pedantic William Tyndale was actually garotted before being burnt at the stake so probably couldn't have screamed Moyles etc at the stake. Last time I was invited to a party? 1994...

[adamtzsch]

@jamesknox64 Nice pedantry! You'd be welcome at any of my parties. Although, it would just be you and me present: I have no friends.

[willr714]

fantastic
