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

[flutterandwow]

The part about rappers is comedy genius.

[owaffs]

When Stewart brought up the bit about people trying to convince him to read Harry Potter, did anyone else imagine Richard Herring saying those things to him? lol.

[fume0ne]

@owaffs ye he has basically managed to do without herring in his show by mimicking the way he spoke, especially the way he said 'stew' :D

also i saw me lee doing this live at chuckle club! he spend a lot of time talking outside to a ginger comedian who then bombed. not due to his advice, unless lee gives aspiring comedians bad advice to harden them up

[TheScheckig]

Think of the mind warping power of the collective works of Rush Limbaugh.

[sonofhud1971]

Hero

[sonofhud1971]

AWESOME



[muiroford1]

I was a rap singer for 3 days.

[AnthemsToTheWelkin]

"My favourite bit of this book is page 97..."

HA!

[babyshambler]

He sounds like Histor the crow when he's in Radio 4 comedy guise!

[williammelvin]

"the man who has read everything today would be more stupid than a man who had read nothing, not a good state of affairs" brilliant and true

[burlearth]

That's Cathal Coughlan (Fatima Mansions) reading The Teat that Wept Tears.

[williammelvin]

@burlearth was he in father ted. is he the priest who doesnt talk hardly.

[burlearth]

@williammelvin No the fella with the moustache sitting down (Michael Redmond) was Father Paul Stone in Father Ted. Cathal Coughlan is doing the VO, a musician from Cork.

[Coffeeandanaan]

Is that Simon Munnery in a Clash t shirt at 2.45? Sure I saw Tony Law in part 1 as well...

[Dizrali]

fuck off simon munnery.



[JamboyStu]

@Dizrali Noooo, He's a good fellow.

[MrRowrow22]

@caninefeces

love your vids man... and your user name

[Mantrousers]

How many other comedians can get a laugh from simply saying "Now...".

[carling0011]

so funny

[bio2451]

Added to my list of good stand ups

also could anyone please tell me the name of the music at the end of the vid. thanks

[geordietoddy]

@bio2451 "Tom Hark" by The Piranhas

[geordietoddy]

@bio2451 Actually, i was wrong, it's a recording of the original, so it's "tom hark" by "elias and his zig zag jive flutes"

Before someone corrects me. :)

[bio2451]

@geordietoddy Thank you !!



[NosdrahcirBocaj]

How I adore this gentleman.

[andypalmtree]

oh no, it's father stone.

[Mangina9000]

He writes jokes on his hand before going on, I love it.

[yellowcougar18]

I was watching the final few moments of this video, the whole 'reading every book up until then' and boy howdy, was his last statement depressing.

Sorta like how many of us were turned against books by awful teachers. Luckily for me, I was saved from hating books by having a great older brother who introduced me to 'The Last Continent' by Terry Pratchett.

Only for that book I would have hated reading.

[yellowcougar18]

'I am the New Jesus.'

I think I just found the title of my new biography.

[mayer8356]

Now I think about it, all I ever see Kanye doing nowadays is standing on top of a fucking bin.

[PissteethJenkins]

Kevin Eldon - greatest facial comedy character actor ever (sorry to sound like Comic Book Guy)

[NeonC0wboy]

Never mind, I found it. If anyone else is curious, it's "Tom Hark" by The Piranhas.

[NeonC0wboy]

anyone know what the track at the end is?

[MrWarrenLO]

"In short the man who had read everything published today would be more stupid than a man who had read nothing, that's not a good state of affairs."

That's one hell of a quote to be honest.

[Paulieismyboss]

Beautiful

[stelling08]

The goat is definitely Father Stone from Father Ted.

[Elcore]

@stelling08 He gets a mention in Stu's bit about Joe Pasquale.

[Cowface95]

you know the rap singers. the rappers who loiter around the comedy show and take up 4 minutes off material, you know the ones, the rap singers.

[Camus286]

@Cowface95 hey I didn't get that part of his act, why was that funny? Thanks

[mayer8356]

@Camus286 He's purposefully muddling skateboarding or BMXing with Rapping. Basically he's satirising the assumption that by being middle-aged, you no longer know anything about pop culture or what the "youths get up to" if you like :P

[Camus286]

@mayer8356 cool thanks for replying

[FureyinHD]

@mayer8356 sounds like he's on about free running to me. Just being picky...

[mayer8356]

@FureyinHD No worries. Could well be to be honest.

[AConceitedJackass]

@Cowface95 Clever, although I disagree.

[Cowface95]

@AConceitedJackass Don't get me wrong, i thought it was funny for a bit, but after a while it started to sound like he was running down the clock a little bit

[crashtv]

@ mjdanby why do people like you just repeat a line from what just happened? Why do that? In this case utterly missing the point.

[Ruftenkind]

Harry Potter and the forest of embarrassment! LOL!

[zenzombie72]

2.20 Andy Parsons.

[comanchio1976]

@zenzombie72 Yeah he does do that, he must have done his apprenticeship on R4 comedies though, they really do ALL sound like that.

That isnt Parson's worst crime though. How he chuckles his little head off at his laboured unfunny bollocks pisses me off the most.

[fritspas]

@zenzombie72

More like The Now Show it seems to me

[DoYouFeelLucky]

He isn't an "intellectual snob" he's just not a fucking moron.

[superhamzah85]

I find it so hard to read books, I spend more time looking for good books, that are worth spending all that time in, than actually reading itself.

[Lieu3C4]

A man who likes to keep busy while he's dumping it, tha's for sure.

[SuperBobster10]

"Now this book's not really aimed at me..."

Brilliant!

[judithcharmers]

Toilet book isn't a compound work you intellectual snob. Turns out Stewart Lee isn't all that clever!

[MrPongleton]

@judithcharmers 'Toilet book isn't a compound work you intellectual snob.' This line is contradictory at best, hyprocritical at worst. Like saying 'Youve missed a comma there you fucking pedant'. Also he says 'compound word', maybe you meant to write that.

[g0thicuk]

this is exactly why i hate radio 4 podcasts

[markyboybdi]

its Father Stone! hide!

[mjdanby]

a lot of people say to me..."get out of my garden"

[beardy200]

@mjdanby I don't believe thatfor a minute. Surely they just go "Is that ..... is that m ...... mjdandy ..... in the garden? What could he possibly want?

[Wickerbasket]

Why wasn't little Asher D wearing a hat?

[TehWinnerz]

the bit about Asha D being close and far away made me laugh pretty hard

[laughorcrytv]

this was uploaded on xmas day, madness

[pjsmoulder]

@laughorcrytv good present. 

[mrsdickbutt]

@laughorcrytv Best christmas present I've ever had :')

[GQmensah]

BRILLIANT...loool.. I am disrespecting you to the MAX..loool
