@3replybiz Yeah i know. And darts players are often fat. It's a bit obvious isn't it. I don't find fat bastard off Austin Powers particularly funny either. Do you? I don't really like Lee Evans. Jimmy Carr is funny though. Not sure what your point is?

@sparkyinbath Darts and snooker participants used to drink and smoke during competitions when this was made. It works perfectly. It's funny in it's own right. Go and watch your Jimmy Carr or Lee Evans DVD.

@939alexz Nah. If it worked i'd find it funny.

@sparkyinbath NO. this really works as some darts players used to be overweight and drink beer during the matches. after this sketch drinking alcohol was banned in darts matches. it is against the rules of competion darts to drink alcohol in a match.  if you watch mel smith in the background he is actually throwing darts

check this clip - it has the full story
