This act sends a message to all those Manning haters out there, who claim he is unfunny- the only thing changed in the act were the punchlines, meaning the timing, delivery, and act in general were all kept the same. Everyone was laughing. Why? Because the part they are conditioned by the PC police to hate Manning for was removed.
@DancinJim the reason people hated bernard manning is because he was a bigot and a terrible human being. it had nothing to do with your paranoid fantasies of "the pc brigade"
@misterlaufeyson You are still talking nonsense. Nobody hated Manning except the PC Brigade. Their excuse is that he was a bigot. Their criteria is based on nothing but their easily-offended nature and naivety. You are clearly one of them. Had he been hated universally, he would never have been so successful.
@DancinJim i sat through a Bernard Manning show years ago as im open minded enough to let someone have a chance, i really dont get your point at all, the only people he didnt take the piss out of (drum roll) were good old white working class northerners who of course have nothing wrong with them, the man didnt like minorities his comedy was lazy and unimaginative constantly affirming negative stereotypes, how you can watch this and see it as a vindication of Mannings comedy is beyond me
@lickstickly You seem to miss the point, that nothing in this clip is different from Manning's style and delivery, except the butt of the joke. I notice you deliberately engineer your comment to imply he favoured only "WHITE working class northerners", trying to imply he was racist. Fact is, he took the piss out of everyone - Irish (white people), Scottish (white people) ... and best yet, HIMSELF (WHITE). Do you have proof he didn't even take the mick out of Northerners?! I doubt it.
@lickstickly You're lying. His audience featured strongly as objects of ridicule in Bernard's comedy. Go back to reading the Guardian. You have been brain-washed.
Yet we must recognise that a sentimental attachment to multi-culturalism persists in public opinion. Ethnic or otherwise, the nation has got it into its head that the warm feelings it induces are the fount of human virtue, on a par with Alan Bennett and the NHS. The very word makes people feel good about themselves. That is why anyone who mentions it on Any Questions? earns a round of applause from the audience loud enough to drown its fears.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Bernard Manning was crude, impolite, offensive, disrespectful, I won't say racist, because I refuse to recognise the word, but he would have eaten this sad little parody for breakfast.
Don't be so naive, you and I both know that racism doesn't end at "disliking" people and last I checked the "right" to hate and discriminate against someone for reasons beyond their control didn't exist.
Claiming something is a "right" to try and add validity to it is incredibly transparent.
(and my favourite quote in Viz was when The Cat in the Hat (Dr Seuss) played football with Billy the Fish and found "a box full of blocks and foxes cocks" in the middle of the pitch...)
sorry- bad news- I'm afraid it wasn't me in your wardrobe (and if I had been I would be) and so that must have been someone else (a Spanish singer perhaps). Maybe you need to buy better cameras.
incidentally (and without commenting on the content) your friend there sounds a bit crazy- at one point she implies you are a "fuckwit stranger" (she doesn't hate you, she doesn't hate fuckwit strangers)- from my point of view you guys spent to much time on that one (but i do respect your choices...)
1.] The problem with Bernard Manning isn't with his act , but one of association, where the bigots from the right and the left have each misrepresented his act for something they like to think it must have been. Sure, he used racial epitaphs in his comedy, but I don't feel that made his act any more racist than Richard Pryor's or Chris Rock's act, for the same reason...
2.] ... or that his audience were racist (which often comprised black people and Irish people, by the way), who by association again, have been misrepresented as BNP, NF and KKK members. Do you really think the good people of Manchester would laugh so wholeheartedly at cheap and unfunny nigger and paki jokes such as 'how many pakis can you get in a car?" Even racist people aren't that brain dead. Get real, huh.
3.] You simply had to be there. If you had been you would surely understand why Bernard Manning and his act is held in such high regard amongst his peers. God Bless you, Bernard Manning. May you Rest in Peace.
may he burn in hell and his lard extinguish the fire, so it takes longer to sizzle and simmer and bubble and bleat and beg and cook him from his rectum to his lugholes.
Lots of pent up anger in you, isn't there? Ever thought of having a psychologist help you with that. I am out of my depth. Maybe being fat made you this angry?
I'm not fat. ha ha ha. I'm not angry. You are not dyslexic. You just misused a word, no big deal, except when some one like you barks on and on that they know something, that's the time to point out it doesn't seem you know what you are saying. How you can try and turn what i've wrritten into your suggestions I am a secret racist is funneeeee, I don't give a shit if you think I am because I'm not. Show us your face Ofuckerty.
Your photo looks 30 years old. You were fat then. Just how fat are you now?
You're a racist because you see yourself as a saviour to Black and Asian people. You actually believe that this is your role in the world - to save people you see as beneath yourself from a comedians act you never saw. Geez, you're really fucked up, fatty.
Tell me I'm a racist once more using the fact I said I hate bernard manning, and that therefore I am patronising black people, and that therefore you in your infinite wisdom with skills close to a super skilled detective know upon know know something about me and I will laugh for all eternity at you.
For me, bigots -be they left wing or right wing- are both sides of the same coin. Your words do little to disprove this to me. Sorry.
Can't you people just arrange one day to meet up somewhere and have a giant fist fight - and leave the rest of us who enjoy sophisticated comedy of any kind, be that Bernard Manning or Bernard Righton - alone to enjoy our "dirty pleasures"?
@HoraceOflaherty "For me, bigots -be they left wing or right wing- are both sides of the same coin."
I like that. It sums up my sentiments exactly. I am not for either extreme left or extreme right wing, but what I find most infuriating in today's society is all the left wing bigots pretend they are simply 'politically correct', and have an easy ride whilst bashing the obvious right wing targets. I want them all the be held accountable.
I saw Bernard Manning several times. I want you to know his act was'nt what you think it was. Why is this important to me? Because Bernard Manning provided some of the best nights out I ever had. I have been to a lot of comedy festivals, and seen a lot of comedians, alternative and old style. Bernard was the best.
Back then, I was a poor misguided left wing lovey wanting to put the world to rights (just like you). I can assure you, if there was anything to be outraged about, I would have been.
So, it alludes to civilized now. Calling me fatty and telling me I must be racist because I said I didn't like the racist old man. Best night you ever had. Of course. I still don't value him one iota. I'm not a fucking lovey, nor am I right on, or liberal and deluded. Unless I tell you what I am like, you won't know, because saying I thought the white old snake eyed pig was a pig is my business, and trying to find things to judge me for because my view is opposed to yours is fucking funny to me
OK, I hear what you are saying. Thank you for your personal message explaining more expansively your view. I sent you one in return. I really struggle to communicate in these little boxes, as we all do. Racism is a complex subject that works on many layers, as does comedy. YouTube isn't really set up for this kind of debate, is it? If you have a spare moment, please take a look at 'Bernard Manning Mark Lamarr Interview' here in YouTube, see what you think.
idiot, they don't just laugh at shit jokes, they laugh when they read a newspaper that has a story about some race related beating, because they love to hate.
That may be true. Do you ever see yourself reflected in their behaviour at all? Their hate is directed at other races. Yours is directed at anyone who doesn't agree with you.
Left wing bigots and right wing bigots are equal and the same person.
no, mine is directed at you, right now, and it isn't hate, i don't hate fuckwit strangers, that word is reserved for serious things, i am enjoying rattling your ball bags is all . . .
Ha ha ha now you've gone from calling me fatty to being delusional about being Saintly. You can garner nothing of me other than I disagree with you, you are 29, that's 4 years younger than me, big fucking deal. What kind of world are you living in to think all women get upset being called old and fat? oh, yes, the same world that finds bernrd manning not a racist, or thinks that only the kkk give racists a bad name, as if they don't do it all by them selves.
Your words. Recognise them? For comedic effect I have merely turned them back on you. Rest assured, I don't normally use words in that way to describe people.
Owing to your own bigotry, in your case I made an exception. Wasn't that hurtful of me? And aren't you the victim? Forgive me.
I want you to know that I haven't enjoyed any of this. You've got a pretty face and you're not fat. You're just a little misguided, that's all. Maybe you've just been reading the wrong newspapers, who knows. Whatever it is, it's nothing that a little red hot loving from someone like me couldn't put right, I am sure.
"The problem with Bernard Manning isn't with his act , but one of association, where the bigots from the right and the left have each misrepresented his act for something they like to think it must have been"
You're a left wing bigot - equally as offensive as the right wing kind. Equally as misinformed and of equal low intellect.
I've got some news for you. Black people dislike being patronised by well-meaning turd-like non-entities such as yourself.
Bullshit. i'm not well meaning to not be a racist, as I have no racist views in my bones what so ever it takes no effort of well meaning to not be racist. I didn't say I won't tolerate jokes about race, I said bernard Manning wasn't joking when he was proud of his racist views. Not that Bernard Right On is funny because he takes the piss out of Manning, the joke is on political correctness. But don't tell me Bernard M said what he said to challenge political correctness. He was a racist.
Oh yeh, I forgot to reitterate you do not understand the meaning of the word epitaph, so here is some wiki just for you: An epitaph (from Greek: ἐπιτάφιος epi-taphios "at,over-tomb" — literally: "on the gravestone"[1]) is a short text honoring a deceased person, strictly speaking that inscribed on their tombstone or plaque, but also used figuratively. Some are specified by the dead person beforehand, others chosen by those responsible for the burial.
All the Best to you ... whoever you are. Sorry for deleting and re-adding certain posts, I found it hard to get the balance of what I wanted to say right, that would respect both sides, (which I can see). But I think I am there now. Big respect to both Bernards from me... :0]
I'm glad most of you enjoy this double edged parody,however as you will see you can't please all the people all of the time-that means you Horace o' Flagherty thanks for your comments. I'm sure my black friends would be very interested in your previous comments regarding the West Indies.
We might have our differences h0gg0,OH YES, but some of your postings do have some logic to them. A logical conclusion, booloean logic, euler mathematics. Google it.
An amendment to your comment- John Thomson Is a recovering alcoholic with more than 2 years sobriety under his belt. I take offence to your narrow minded comments. Alcoholism is recognised as a disease by the world health organisation. Anyone suffering from this fatal addiction either gets clean or dies. Your misjudged inappropriate comments sadden me, the majority of people leave positive genuine comments on Youtube & DON'T use it as a soapbox for blinkered pontififcation. JT
You probably shouldn't be so sensitive to internet weirdos y' know. Maybe he clicked on your name and saw the bit that says 'Self Loathing'...still, I enjoyed that Bill Bailey love song.
He closed his account because you would not stop sending message to his son! The police wouldn't do anything as you know. Be aware of ManchesterisCity, before you are a victim too.
Yeah, I was channel hopping and caught him do an In Bed With MeDinner esque bit on some Big Brother program. Few too many meat and potato pies me thinks.
... and that's the one i've been leaving in Fopp even though its only a fiver cos i've already got "The Man Who Thinks He's It" doh! Cheers marquis, will pick it up tomorrow.
'Rolly Polly' Radio 1 'Motor Mouth' DJ Chris Moyles talked about this on his show this morning, and I'm glad he did. As it's very funny. So, thank you John Thomson, thank you Kim and thanks Chris :)
John Thompson is great- good tip Moylesy, i'd forgotten about this skit. What DVD is this on again? I know it's halfway through a Coogan show... thanks for the upload BTW
Its supposed to be ironic, numbnuts. Bernard was the compere during Steve Coogan's live stand up shows in the early 90's, and it's still just as funny today as was back then
People that go on about 'political correctness gone mad' are the most insufferable cunts in the universe.

An amendment to your comment- John Thomson Is a recovering alcoholic with more than 2 years sobriety under his belt. I take offence to your narrow minded comments. Alcoholism is recognised as a disease by the world health organisation. Anyone suffering from this fatal addiction either gets clean or dies. Your misjudged inappropriate comments sadden me, the majority of people leave positive genuine comments on Youtube & DON'T use it as a soapbox for blinkered pontififcation. JT

He closed his account because you would not stop sending message to his son! The police wouldn't do anything as you know. Be aware of ManchesterisCity, before you are a victim too.

Its supposed to be ironic, numbnuts. Bernard was the compere during Steve Coogan's live stand up shows in the early 90's, and it's still just as funny today as was back then

His jokes are funny enough, but it's painful to watch a string of them, one after another, without any kind of segue.

The 'act' is just a parody of bernard manning, probably for a sketch show. I'd link a video of him but the only ones I can find have fucked sound.
yodisio 5 years ago
That's the point. The old comedians that he's parodying used to tell one joke after another. We're laughing at them and their technique.
This is absolute class.
