Room 101 - Marcus Brigstocke Personalised Numberplates

[psyne0]

Is it seriously that expensive for personalized plates in the UK? In Michigan it just costs an extra $30... I don't have them but I don't consider it a massive waste of money, $30 isn't too much for an amusing novelty on your car.

[t1mel1ne]

@psyne0 personalised yeah probably. my girlfrinds' dad bought a car because the number plate was XXX, the number plate is worth more than the car! it depends what's on them

[ShanksDChopper]

Mr. Plant looks like my old boss.

[lennic95]

My dad's is T4YGA :/

[milkkart]

saw one where someone had used italics to get a pair of 7s to look more like Ts so not only had they informed everyone they were the sort of massive wanker who wears designer sunglasses with an enormous jewel encrusted logo on the side they'd also be getting pulled over for a bollocking and fine on a regular basis.

[FulchesterUnited]

I love that Paul obviously finds Marcus really funny...

[faro414]

i know why do people waste theyerr money on something worthless

[bellboy64]

I don't remember what it cost but there was a plate advertised in a local paper that ran with the description "would be great for plumbers".

It read "JOB13Y".

Seriously. No shit*

* (if you'll pardon the pun) ;)

[mwahahaha2100]

I bought a gibson les paul standard for £1800. How i wish i'd spent slightly more on a bit of metal that isn't even funny...

[localiser1]

they are an investment. critics may as well slag off anything exclusive that costs a bit extra.

[Vault101Reject]

an investment into what?

"hey everyone! i'm such a sad,lonely loser,i have no-one in my life to spend my money on,so i bought this worthless piece of crap that doesn't even spell my name but it kind of looks like it does and that's the best an idiot like me can hope for as no-one would ever say my name for any reason without having to read out my shitty number plate."

[localiser1]

@Vault101Reject no not that at all. when i said an investment i meant the dictionary definition of the word ... ie a property or another possession acquired for future financial return or benefit. so, more often than not, a personalised plate makes money if/when you resell. there are online dictionaries if that helps you with this ...

[elflacoblanco]

He's got it easy - I've been waiting 15 years for 'NOW 49P'. Which would both suit my car AND annoy the grammar bullies.

[bellboy64]

@elflacoblanco

That sounds magic. :D

[HeadlightMorningGlow]

Personalised number plates are bought near-exclusively by self-satisfied pricks desperate to show off their wealth.

[theimaginarynumber]

BA57ARD is up for grabs for a mere £10000!

[grumbletweezer]

Damn - I should have known he did it before I did :O( BTW - on the price of personalised number plates - F11KUU: £106000 - my comments on my vid ;O)

[Vault101Reject]

for £2000 i would get my car a pretty decent paint job,if i was going to buy something for my car.

then i'd buy a bass boost and drive past chavs,blasting out Mozart or something.

[PeepingTomWaits]

Paul's seems to really be cracking up on this one. Marcus is a very talented man (:

[verkaforever]

There's nothing wrong with personalised number plates!

[C0ldking]

I see 9 ppl disagreeing with you!

[C0ldking]

Did you watch the Vid?

[XxHaveHopexX]

The point isn't that they do any harm. it's just that you could spend two grand on something that'll affecct your life rather than a piece of plastic on either end of your car. piece of plastic or a holiday? you decide.

[verkaforever]

Personalised number plates cost two grand?! I didn't know that. It would be better to spend the money on a holiday or give it to charity.

[XxHaveHopexX]

well i think it depends on how personalised you want it. like if you wanted one to say "H1" it's cost so much that I feel sick imagining. but like if you wanted the first three letteres of your name then random letteres and numbers so it looks like a regular reg plate it'd cost less. £2,000 is just the figure given in the video.

[verkaforever]

I see. You've made me change my mind- personalised number plates are a waste of money. They're only vaguely funny in the context of kids' T.V. programmes- like Postman Pat's van said "PAT 1".

[graemeoliver84]

I hate the way every Chelsea Tractor 4x4 seems to have a personalised plate.

[tellyisrubbish]

The personalised numberplate tells you something about the ego of the buyers, namely that they tend to be CUN7S.

[psychodelicfungi]

DAMN RIGHT!!! My boss has personalised NPs on both of his cars and he's a completely pretentious wanker!

[moiphx2]

No. Naughty. Stop it.

[stefanmuc2k]

"Merica....Fuck Yeah!!"

I like this. Also I think you should watch that other video about "grammar, punctuation and apostrophe bullies".

[IddyB]

If you're going to have one, get one with something absurdly understated like 'DAVE 1' or something.

[lifeofhonour4]

have a small parade for god's sake!

[elthrthrith]

best 2 I've seen were

S7OL3N

BA57ARD

[pw3uk]

Paul Daniels should really have TW4T

[libertinelover]

'that was one of the reasons, some women tried to drive on the pavement'

'a german, which is really only another name for a wriggly worm'

- lmao

[cocteaufan]

@libertinelover

which kinda ignores the fact that Hitler wasn't German , but hey lets not let facts get in the way eh /

[DeadpoolFan16]

@libertinelover Actually, he was Austrian

[limpy1234567890]

The best i have seen is postwat that is you that is!

[872872872]

the best number plate ive seen is

w4sted u on a ferrari

[jakamneziak]

exactly, 6000 pounds for a number plate which is a countdown conundrum tidied up a bit? hi ima big nob whos bought a personalised number plate for my ford cortina......*countdown theme tune* der-duh, der-duh, de-da-la-de CRASH! wasted 6000 for the plate, 500 for the car and 150 for the petrol. wasted 6650 quid for the want of an anagram. WANKERS

[lee250893]

i bet the son if bin laden has that number plate,

but i bet his car is some rusted up, fucked up like a 3 wheeler.

[threecardmontegirl]

a man who lives near me has the license plate B1g n0b.

[njjisgod]

That is truly ridiculous.

Why would anyone do that to themselves?

[Onlinenine9]

Because He is a Big nob.

[njjisgod]

That was a rhetorical question.

But w.e.

[BornToBeWiild]

Omg this was soo funny!! lol

And so was the David Blane (or whatever)one!

[Gasmark6]

Howard is a multi millionaire drives a bentley convertable 1HJP

[Madsane1]

so wot if sum1 wants personalisd number plates, if u got it, flaunt it

[Spacecat42]

I won't even consider being friends with people with personalised number plates. It's the 2 grand envy thing, I think. If you can't pay your rent, you tend to be annoyed with people who chuck money down the drain on fripperies. Amusing fripperies, as Mr.B points out, are excusable. Crap ones, however, are not.

[waxengravah]

lol@ jihad

[jakamneziak]

dude personalised number plates are a status symbol of the flash and the chav. in other words the type of people who shouldnt be seen are making their presence even m,ore felt by having an anagram of their name on a plate. y spend 66k on a plate when for 250 you can change your name by deed poll to fit the plate existing on the car in the first place?

[Onlinenine9]

The flash has a car? I would have thought he would run everywhere, i mean now especially with the rising gas prices, it just doesnt make sense...

[Eagle0600]

What is room 101? (I probably won't end up seeing the answer but others who don't know will, so pls answer)

[lonewolf2852]

Room 101 in George Orwell's 1984 is a room where your biggest fear would be used to torture you, I think that's what the title is alluding to, but frankly I don't see the connection.

[DrNitro168]

I do now. They put pet hates in this one though, not fears...

[paulkennethjohnson]

well, how entertaining would a show about your worst fears be? Not much ratings in discussing cirrohsis of the liver and nuclear holocaust. The connection is "things that would be in your Room 101" ... also, Room 101 was the room Orwell wrote in BBC television centre, dumbasses.

[JoeDKershaw]

Wrong, it was his meeting room in the BBC centre. He hated the meetings and so named it after there.

Get it right first.

[verkaforever]

What is wrong with personalised number plates, may I ask?

[Lissy2112]

they are a waste of money and a pathetic attemp to get some attention

[whereami07]

What does he mean by the P1ANT will hurt?

Still funny!

[jfcwtfusernames]

pee 1 ant

[whereami07]

Sorry, i Still don't get it??

[kinglynx]

to piss and ant. in other words the insect (an ant) will piss out of your digeridoo (u knw what i mean lol )

5 star excelent!

[whereami07]

lol thank you very much, i'm having one of those 'tired days' today, i can even count to 5 :P lol

Cheers

5 stars to this show!!

[L1ZZ1771]

P 1 ANT - lol

[awilliams100]

This guy goes on about how there are "better things to worry about...." then why is he moaning and worrying about what people shouldn't worry about? Hmmm.... ass.

[Requiem9001]

He complains since you can do many things while thinking of stupid things people do. So guess what dumb shit if you get paid to complain I think you have all right to... hmmm COMPLAIN & MOAN!

[PaulStaveley]

Oh, that opening statement about women driving on the pavement! Perfect!

And then the German thing!! Even better!

Oh my god, I love the whole concept of old public information reels!! They're brilliant!

[communistcat]

man personal plates cost that much....fuck that,

why do they cost so much in the uk, i live in the US, and personal plates cost more but damn, how much are regular plates

[slhrzulu]

regular plates are free (i think)

our road/car tax system is different

[vertu007007]

Marcus is a shag. So there.

[robtech30]

H17LER was actually for sale a few months ago for 800 quid from elite auctions....lol

[bettyswollochs]

Personalised plates are for twat5 - so fuck1n6 cra55. It's a bit like a cheap necklace with your name on it , except for people with money.

[xbatboyx]

Is it just me or does anyone else think Marcus is hot?

[crazychickrebel]

yes i do actually

like an interlectual hotness about him

[whatevaaah]

yur a boy =o ya his hawt

[njjisgod]

Oh yeh.

[bongowongoman]

"you could just salatape 2 grand on the back of the car instead and watch people run after it" LMFAO!!!

[njsykora]

I love how much Brigstocke annoys people.

[FlikPik]

[LoafOfPint]

I wonder if W4NK3R is taken.
