It's definitely not humiliation -- if that's what you are reading in to it, you've missed the point. It was light entertainment and exactly that -- light-hearted. The people they worked with were talented performers who were able to show their ability to pull off being ridiculous on stage. It worked -- Shirley Bassey loses no face here at all :)

She's such a great sport, going along with all of that, and keeping (more or less) a straight face the entire time.

Shirley Bassey indeed lost no face here. I believe it to be a compliment to her to be invited onto such a show where the shananegans are known to happen. She not only shined brightly but also made them come across as fools, which by all accounts...was a win win by all party's involved...

re humiliation -something wrong with your thinking chum. it's a show and the invitees all agreed. M and W were outstanding.

@RunnyNoses the English language is far more flexible & adaptable to just fling dictionary meanings to all who utter an opinion. Are you also of one these politically correct nutters? Who spoil all fun, entertainment, enjoyment & other creative industries? And blight us with your bland "beige" world of dullness?

What an excellent description, a great sport! They had this and a bunch of the others - Andre Previn, Angela Rippon - on a Christmas compilation on Christmas Eve, and they were all great sports. Thanks for putting that great term into my mind.

Absolutely, Pamela - humiliation by consent is a powerful comedic tool If the guests hadn't been willing - and relished being shown up - it wouldn't have been funny at all. Like Candid Camera...

Don't remember calling anyone "incredibly stupid" though it has been a couple of years since I put this up, still, can't find the comment containing it.
But even if I did, isn't that also "freedom of thought"? Or doesn't that apply to me?

Humiliate?
RunnyNoses 3 years ago
Not sure what you mean. If you mean "humiliating", people used to queue up to be humniliated by Morecambe and Wise. They were an institition.

Your word choice struck me as far too severe.
humiliate:
to cause (a person) a painful loss of pride, self-respect, or dignity; mortify.

Have you ever seen Morecambe and Wise, and the things they inflicted on willing guests? There are more examples on YouTube. Humiliation is exactly the right word - you could not preserve your dignity on their show, and it was a badge of honour to be invited on there to be shown up.
