  • People seem to be arguing about Stewart Lee being better than Sean Lock and dismissing Lock altogether. But real fans of Stewart Lee would know that he is in fact a big fan of Sean Lock and claims that one of his favourite pieces of comedy is a joke of Sean Lock's.

  • The things I value appear abundantly in Lee's work so I prefer him to Lock. Things I value also appear in Lock's work so I enjoy him also. I value many things and not one entity can exhibit all of them. But many can exhibit some. So I can enjoy many comedians.

    Some people supremely favor one entity and align their values with those exhibited by the entity, disregarding all others. The things they value never develop but re-align to those they favor most recently. These people are narrow minded.

  • i didnt even know sean lock was rated, never mind underrated.

  • this show is so beneath Lee its a bit depressing 

  • Let's argue about who is the best comedian. That would be amazing.

  • @BaubleRob LOL let's not

  • Anyone who assumes that Stewart Lee is more intelligent than Sean Lock just because he wears his intelligence like a badge of honour and pursues a line of comedy which relies on the audience knowing that he is intelligent, where as Sean Lock plays the clown and doesn't particularly need the audience to consider his intellect, needs to go back to school. Maybe try a different one. Or read some more books. Or think.

    BTW, I really like them both.

  • Fucking comedy snobs. I regularly see Simon Munnery Daniel Kitson Stewart Lee live, doesn't mean you can't enjoy light entertainment like this, Jimmy Carr is one of the hardest working, most educated in his field comedians in the country and Sean Lock was one of the founders of the era of alternative comedy that brought Lee etc. Do some research before you think something is below you you narcissistic arseholes.

  • What we're all here for:

    5:23 8:22 (till 8:55)

  • I literally skipped through this to the bits where Stewart is speaking. There wasn't much to watch, but it was preferable to watching the rest of the drivel.

  • 4.27 Stewart is calculating how much he dividing his pay for this show by how many minutes he's been there and wondering if that is enough money so that he could leave right now

  • @aNya1127

    Totally agree.

    Sean Lock is brilliant in this context (and great in general) but I feel so sorry for Stewart Lee. He's far too classy for this type of program and he is not a sell-out by any means.

    I think he's more likely to be calculating the difference between not saying anything at all and retaining his dignity versus undermining the whole program and coming across as sour to those who don't know good comedy when it f***s them in the face.

  • The look in Stewart Lee's eyes in the only entertaining part.

  • This put me off stewart lee, a lot

  • @gmcaveety93 Why may I ask?

  • He never did a panel show. You're pulling my leg. 

  • i love 8 out of 10 cats.... but u cant tell Stewart Lee is a class above it.

  • stewart lees fans are pretentious dicks.and stewart is moderately funny.its not like watching comedy with stewart lee.its more like watching a scripted scene

  • @lemonpartyhellyeah There's no pretense- they are a lot cleverer than you.

  • @williamwilson666 maybe they are.but they think theyre better because they are.clealry your not that intelligent because i never said they were unintelligent.they are but they are pretentious about it.hence why i said it

  • @lemonpartyhellyeah I think, perhaps, you should look up the word pretentious.

  • @williamwilson666 no thanks.i just know theyre dicks who think theyre great because they think theyre intelligent when theyre probably not even that intelligent,they act like theyre more intelligent than they are.

  • it's so sad seeing stewart lee on this. It's so obvious he doesn't want to be there.

  • Woo Alan Cumming!!

  • Stew is far too subtle to work on panel shows.

  • its a shame women appear on this show

  • This is the most retarded set of youtube comments I have ever read. That's quite an accomplishment.

  • @mrcuddles100

    spot on mate.

  • Stewart Lee, Sean Lock - different styles, both great.

  • I don't mind Stewart Lee, but I hate his fanbase with a passion.

  • @Kazumaster Absurd. Stewart Lee fans are by far the best comedy fans. Why, if I wasn't so busy making home-made organic pumpkin soup based on a recipe in the Guardian, I'd write the paper a stern letter of complaint about you.

  • @captainpanic08 Any fan base that assert superiority does not understand comedy at all and instantly earns my hate. Stewart Lee really isn't all that funny either. Stop sucking his dick.

  • I've never heard of Stewart Lee, but based solely on what twats his fans seem to be, I'm inclined to dislike him.

  • @WalterLiddy Excellent logic there.

  • @666armarda See what I mean? I'm not really serious about him. I am serious about his fans posting here.

  • @WalterLiddy check him out his stand up on you tube before you make your mind up

  • @tyler1232744 I will. Unlike many of the people posting here I don't feel any need to hate other comics just because they aren't the one I came to see.

  • Poor stewart. He looks so bored there. Its a bit like Martin Luther King eating chips in a morrisons cafe with Katie Price, Jim Davison and The Chuckle Brothers.

  • @screwtape84 dont dis paul n barry.

  • 50%? 50%?!

    He said it was 41% 20 mins ago (2 years later)

  • Stewart Lee said it was the worst professional experience not the worst experience, it's a slight at himself more than anything else. A few of you don't seem to get that.

  • Stewart on 8 Out of 10 Cats is like a goth in a cheerleaders group.

  • Comment removed

  • Stewart Lee looks decidedly uncomfortable in this.... his style doesn't really suit

  • alan cumming is lovely!

  • I can't watch fat jimmy, it's too depressing

  • ...am I the only one watching this because Alan Cumming is fucking sexy?

    Oh. Okay then.

    Move along.

  • I think Sean Lock is criminally underrated, his quality of comedy and where he is just does not match. He wrote and starred in the funniest dark comedy ever and he never fails to be funny at any show he is invited on. The only reason why Sean Lock never leaves 8 out 10 cats cos the show would be shit without him. He should be on comedy par with Rowan Atkinson and Dylan Moran.

  • @hahaha430 Definitely underrated. Sean Lock is hilarious, he reminds me a lot of Bill Bailey, whom I adore. Sean should be more well-known!

  • @hahaha430 He is on the same comedy par. All three of them are shit.

  • @MeMyselfAndEyez well i am sorry you don't like them

  • @MeMyselfAndEyez sean lock is fantastic, i bet you only started watching stewart lee since comedy vehicle and now dismiss anything else in a vain attempt to appear intelligent. and if you dont like sean lock i doubt you are very intelligent, or at least lacking any sense of humour, having only a sense of fashion as a weak substitute.

  • @123jataylor What the heck was all that ramble about? Because I don't relish saccharin safe-for-TV comedy from the likes of Lock you come on here and show yourself up with a rant? Look at my age you tool; I'll have been watching his stuff after a night out 15+ years ago while you were still having your arse wiped by your mother. It's you who loves the guy from the popular TV show, but it's me that follows fashion? LOL!

  • @MeMyselfAndEyez so youre implying that a lack of offensive or taboo content indicates a bland style of comedy? lock is very surreal, not political in the same way as lee.

    because your a certain age doesnt mean youll have been watching him longer does it? my mother never wiped my arse, i was a very advanced infant.

    my point stands, people have jumped on the stewart lee bandwagon as a way to appear intellectutal, your dismissal of lock indicates a lack of appreciation for good, clever comedy.

  • @123jataylor Wow, that was a Sean Lockian Full Frontal Internet Assault. Take it easy. I like both Sean Lock and Stewart Lee. I'm not a bad person. I promise.

  • @hahaha430 Sean Lock is very good - but Frankie Boyle is more funny and strangely has a smaller chip on his shoulder.

  • Interesting...I'm guessing this was done after the Joe Pasquale joke where he briefly mentions Jimmy Carr?

  • it's funny how stewart lee picks on the internet quite abit, without realising its probably were he gets most his views from.

    ohhh the irony.

  • @IINesasta it's funny how you've completely missed the point of those jokes.

  • I am watching this out of pure morbid fascination. Watching Stewart Lee here is like watching Jimi jam with the cast of Glee...

  • Loving the XTC t-shirt Stewart Lee's wearing.

  • That was the worst youtube watching experience of my life.

  • I feel sick for watching this. I knew it was bad but come on. You people are supposed to be the last bastion of decent entertainment, and you whore your selves out to channel 4 and the unadulterated advertisement of big brother. Forget the people that watch out of choice, they have no influence on the masses, just on the spawn the are wrongly allowed to shoot at will from their vagina. You are everything that is wrong with this country. Stu, your regret is commendable, remember this.

  • @jak546 He has to make a living, he's a comedian as a living, and not exactly a 'successful' one in mainstream terms. His appearances on Have I Got News for You and Never Mind the Buzzcocks were things he did to pay for things like his wedding. He's making ends meet, and you sound like a twat anyway. What do you know about the masses and how deserving they are to have kids, you're undoubtedly a stuck up middle class teenager with no experience of anything other than gazing into his own navel

  • I love Stewart Lee, but he isn't really suited to one of these mainstream panel shows at all, lol

  • I fucking love stewart lee

  • I was seriously hoping that Stewart Lee and Sean Lock would just get up and walk out of this. They're far too good for it.

  • Comment removed

  • @joeisaflyingfish You really sound like one of those faux intellectuals that go to one of stewart lee's gigs armed with your cringeworthy "I GET IT" laugh just to prove you 'get it'

    Unfortunately for you sean lock isn't up his own arse enough to walk off a show, stewart lee probably should've done as he fell on his arse everytime he opened his bloody mouth, please don't tell me it's because he is to good to be on a show like this, it's getting old.

  • @hirafioh Yes he is. He's the type of comedian to giggle insanely to his own jokes.

    And also, the type of people that go to see these shows aren't exactly Stew's target audience.

  • Oh man, can't get enough of 3:15

  • inbetween all the mind numbingly stupid adverts and NLP , watching tyhis on channel 4 seems actually like awesome sauce...

    but then you watch it on youtube and realize, what utter crap the show really is, and how shallow the topics are, and how much you despise all the celebs (except for maybe stewart lee... and thats a maybe)... that appear on it.

    The dumbing down of your brains is well and truely under way

    ..

  • Stewart Lee describes this is as the worst moment of this professional career.

  • @celluloidheroesradio that and performing in liverpool. meaning i have to travel to manchester whenever he's on tour :P

  • @celluloidheroesradio I assume he is supposed to be better than this?

    I some of his material, not that impressed.

  • Watching Alan on The Good Wife I totally forgot he was Scottish!

  • I only watched this for Stewart Lee.

  • @FarmerHeard Me too.

  • @FarmerHeard whos that?

  • @FarmerHeard ok

  • why does 8 out of 10 cats never get any good guests? I mean sean lock is good, and I saw johnny vegas there too, but the rest.. I have no idea who they are.. I wanna see the same quality of guests like on QI

  • @DeanMalenko jason manford and stewart lee are too hilarious, better than anyone i've seen on QI to be honest. i think Buzzcocks get the best guests on though

  • I hope Sean Locke and Stewart Lee are friends. That would be good.

  • @3LARI They are.

  • @3LARI In Stewart Lee's book it says that he and Sean Lock went out for a curry together in Nottingham!

  • @stevenuuu1212 Haha! Brilliant!

  • @3LARI Apparantly Stewart was pestering Sean do his comedy routine about a vagina shaped turd. That's true! Oh and Daniel Kitson was also there.

  • Really wish Susie had called Jason a fat fuck.

  • "[8 out of 10 cats was] the worst professional experience of my life"

    - Stewart Lee

  • @sdasdfgdfsg I just read that interview and came straight here :)

  • @theifnet haha me too! :)

  • Something about Jimmy...

  • sean lock always on cue with a quality gag!

  • That joke Jason Manford said about the queen being "Less dressy"... I swear someone else said that on Mock the Week. Jo Caulfied, I think

  • I wish america had shows like this

  • Comment removed

  • "he changed his name from Zak to Ziggy who does that"? fans of David Bowie named Zak?

  • Comment removed

  • Poor Stew... he just doesn't fit in.

  • @Fuzzy192006 I think Stew give a more scathing account.

  • @Fuzzy192006 I think Stew would give a more scathing account.

  • @Fuzzy192006 It says on his Wiki page he calls this show the worst experience of his career:)

  • @ViolentRunning Hehe. On the interview with Johnny Vegas he recalls Jimmy Carr saying about one of his comments that he was never more sure about something not surviving the final edit.

  • @Fuzzy192006 but that's why he's brilliant

  • I wish Lisa Tarbuck would get her tits out just once. It would put my mind at rest, I can tell you.

  • Watching Stewart Lee on '8 out of 10 Cats' is like watching an albatross walking...

  • lol cumming and assman

  • Stewart Lee's face when they are talking about big brother is priceless

  • Confession of an utter saddo: "I do watch a lot of Big Brother"

    Nothing screams "Get a life" like the pathetic BB gossip they kick off with

  • SADDAM HUSSEIN HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 911.

    How politically retarded do you have to be?

  • lol

  • them two women are FUCKING SHIT

  • Jesus, it's like Liza Tarbuck and Susie Essman are in a competition to determine who can be the most pathetically un-funny.

    For the record, my money's on the American. Liza may be tiresome and un-funny, but at least she's not LOUD while being tiresome and un-funny like Susie is.

  • @SrMorphine Ah but the train set joke was good... that's satire!

  • @SrMorphine She's superb in Curb Your Enthusiasm though, so fuck you.

  • @TheDensley7 How does that have ANY bearing on how utterly rubbish she is in this?

  • @SrMorphine none. But then again, i don't think Sean Lock is very good on this show, and he's a brilliant comedian.

  • Jason Manford?

  • liza tarbuck is a talentless fool whose only claim to fame is that her father was a talentless fool on tv.

  • Shame on Stewart Lee for going on such a shit program - he is above this sort of crap.

  • @pmanngw: Yeah? How many dvds of Stewart Lee's have you bought?

  • @pmanngw: I actually quite enjoy 8 out of 10 cats. I guess that makes me intellectually unable to appreciate Stewart Lee. Too bad, I thought I really liked his stuff.

  • Get lost you pretentious bastard.

  • @pmanngw "The sort of people who watch this...." Ironically, it's you who's displayed the most stupidity. Funny, in'it!?

  • agreed, but his presence neccessitates me watching it all the same!

  • your a mug if you really believe that.

  • you're right, nothing wrong with harry hill though

  • no shame he did it to pay for his marriage ive heard whenever ysee him on these shows it means he wants pocket money

  • Too right mate.

  • I wanna see how many times they can catch Stewart Lee laughing and edit it in at the end of a shit joke :)

  • Heh, Liza Tarbuck got a bigger cheer than Stewart Lee. Oh dear.

  • How bored does Stew look?

  • stewart lee is my fave comedian but he didnt have much to say in this.

  • @awesomefrankrapid cos he isnt a mainstream fuck wit like Jimmy Carr

  • Jimmy Carr is so adorable

  • Stewart Lee, Sean Lock, Jason Manford and jimmy Carr = a fucking awesome show!!!!!!!! cheers for posting mate :)

  • british

  • @moxie393 they can be british and scottish as scotland is a country in britian

  • Comment removed

  • No it's not.

  • then you have better taste than most. im only watching it for stewart lee

  • @Bjarku He said this was the worst professional experience of his life. Which is why I'm watching it.

  • @Bjarku Too right.

  • @Bjarku Whats wrong with 8 out of 10 cats? Its a great show 

  • SEAAAAAAAAAAAN LOOOOOOOOOOOCK! I love this guy.

  • So who ripped who off, a woman on Mock the Week made that exact same joke about the Queen to the word?

  • I'm seriously getting addicted to panel shows.

  • Me too...this, Mock the Week, Qi...unfortunately, I'm an American, and we don't get this kind of brilliance

  • Panel shows totally beat reality shows and America only has "reality".

  • i'm too, i'm canadian but i'm moving to britain as soon as i can

  • @Hocra I've been panel show stalking David Mitchell.

  • @Hocra - so are 80% of Britain... at least thats what I heard on a TV show.

  • @Hocra I was addicted, stopped after i ran out about a year and a half ago, now i'm relapsing :P

  • Post the rest. I read that this appearance made Stewart Lee never want to appear on panel shows again.

  • I sympathize with your condition.

    That's how it managed to take advantage of me

  • what happened to all the extension house ones?
