- Time for a little bit of brilliant British comedy by the irreplaceable Sean Lock. My American Fiance has really never seen or heard of Sean so I thought what better way than all his best bits.
If you seriously think UK comedians shy away from ANY subject, you don’t know British comedy.
Heckler: Why don't you make fun of Muslims and Islam?
Jimmy Carr: I am saving that to the Farewell tour!
Some do, some don't.
Roy chubby brown does it all too
As for not doing politics, most of the Trump era was comedy gold for Brit comedians, as was Theresa May/ Liz Truss era stuff. Anyway, you talk too much pre video and the clip volume needs to be higher.
Name a couple please as I can't think of anyone
Sean Lock was one of the few comedians that could make Jimmy Carr absolutely cry laughing.
One of the few English comedians I found funny. English overrate a lot of eg Sunday roasts, fish n
Chips shepherd's pie, football quality however your bands were good back in the day.
like when sean promised not to spit in miles mouth when making love hahaha that was the most creased i ever saw jimmy
@@andym28 really your dissing uk foods?? you clearly had some shite cook or went to some bland places, what because Our FOOD wont give you type two and fondle every cancer cell in our bodies, the a mount of shit that goes into your food no wonder Americans think our food is bland, u lot are just use to the taste of artificial chems and ingredients that your non existing food regulation still allows even when most of Europe have banned them. plus i doubt you had shepherds pie you probably had cottage pie, as shepard pie contains lamb and its much more flavoursome. more then your mince beef variant, with corn??
like Norm MacDonald RIP
@@andym28Sunday dinners are banging mate and nowt better than watching a good owld game of footy with the boys
There's a reason why the US comedians were shocked at how far Jimmy Carr went when he did a comedy central roast in the US, and that ain't because US comedy is harder-hitting!
And he most likely was holding back 😂
Robert bro i swer im on your side and love jimmy and think he went heavy here but i swer his worst would be deleted from the episodes sane as frankie boyle they could go times ten but they either held themselves back or the channel did
Seriously HARD HITTING comedy better in America? 90% of things said on normal everyday television you can't say or do in America.
Lol
Yeh this guys clueless. All I will say is 'if you donate just £1/week to Africa to buy nets, we can save millions of mosquitos from dying of aids'
He thinks being anti-establishment is right wing 😂😂
He's absolutely right stand up comedy here in the UK is generally terrible and has been for about 15 years. I think you may be confusing panel show Comedians with working stand-up comedians. off the top of my head I could easily come up with 25 great American Comics that do what they want to do regardless of criticism... I'd be hard pressed to come up with 5 British Comics that fit into that category.
@@ballconei you seem to be confusing good comedy with offensive comedy as if they're one and the same :/
@@ballconei Jimmy carr live has had jokes about disabilities about wars about politicians. When Jim jefferies was living in the UK did it more.
@@jgreen2015 you seem to be confusing uncompromising comedians with offensive comedy
And to think he was fighting cancer during this.This is why his voice was husky as he had had chemotherapy.One of the funniest people on tv.Sadly missed.
"Do you have carrot in a box?"
Acting like carrot in a box is an actual thing lol
every time i watch that clip, and the follow-up episode where they did it again, i keep thinking of "carrot in a box" as a euphemism
Please show her the clip of Joe's poem about naming stranger's privates, the whole thing, especially including Sean absolutely fucking losing it is amazing!
I second that! One of Countdown's best moments.
yes yes yes. There can only be one. This is it.
The sound of Sean saying "make him stop!" through his tears of laughter is classic.
I thought miles reply was the better funnier line,
“try doing it without the spit”
That line gets lost in the laughter.
Yea it needs the riposte to hit properly
Totally agree lol
I still laugh at "I don't know about you, I'm on the fence" even though I know the punchline.
Miles and Sean were hilarious together.
@@jonathanneal1319Gets me every time too lol
Absolutely agree, Miles’ response is my favourite bit, and the start of the most beautiful duo.
Miles met Sean’s challenge flawlessly but it seemed to understandably get lost in the response to Sean’s comment
If you think Jimmy Carr doesn't push the boundary then you haven't seen his shows. There are videos on CZcams that show he really does push hard.
I wouldn't say he pushes any real lines, he tells quite good dark jokes, and has some good wordplays, but other than that he's pretty meh, and sure he's a step above most other British comedians as well, but the only real British Comedian these days is Ricky Gervais.
the famous Anglo-Irish comedian Spike Milligan, who suffered from various forms of depression his entire life and probably PTSD after his war service decided early on what the inscription on his tombstone would be, and his family honoured his wishes it reads I Told You I Was Ill...
The Tiger Who Came For A Pint is a parody of a popular children's book called The Tiger Who Came For Tea with the same style of writing and illustrations.
There are also the parody Ladybird books that use the original pictures from the children's books and use them for funny subjects and look really genuine worth a look!
We kept Sean Lock and gave America James Corden 🤣 unlucky.
Good riddance.
The world is a sadder place without Sean.
Sean's reaction to Joe Wilkinson poem is the best thing ever! 🤣🙏
American stand ups only do Americanisms, Burr just keeps reminding everyone he has a black girlfriend. I guess you have never watched Romesh Ranganathan. Frankie Boyle, or even Jimmy Carr.
You say you know your stand ups but clearly in your description, you have lost touch.
I dunno about that one brudda
@@AarambhaB I do. Brudda
19:41 that's exactly how I describe him too. When watching all the different comedians tributes to them, they all said the same thing - you never knew where the joke was going or what the punchline was going to be. I remember either watching or reading a tribute to Sean where they said that whenever he was on stage at comedy festival or gala where there's loads of comedians doing sets one after the other, whenever he was on the wings were packed with every comedian there whether they'd been on or not because they wanted to see him perform.
"You can't write tears Jimmy"
RIP Sean Lock
Wow, those 10 years now living in America really shows he knows nothing about where he's from, A lot of things have changed since you moved to America pal
Right wing is anti establishment? That's a fucking comedy routine in itself.
Well yeah it kind of is publicly. You can get cancelled being right wing, never left wing, so the left are clearly in control of the media establishment
British comedians constantly have a go at politicians ?
Claudia breaking down and asking Sean to stop speaking so she can literally draw a breath just shows his off the cuff genius. Rest in Peace Sean.
Also, try Jonathan Pie. You'll see how much he rips into politicians.
RIP Sean.
He always made me crease with his random monologues. 😂
Can't be anti-establishment? Are you SURE you've seen all of Jimmy carrs stuff or frankie Boyle?
I think he meant anti-left
He said you can’t be right leaning. Frankie is a leftist
He thinks the Tories aka THE Establishment and all the posho rich right-wingers who have run the country since the year dot, are actually left wing. Which really tells you all you need to know. I wonder if he realises how left wing and woke Sean Lock was? :S
Both of them went weird and woke.
To be fair he doesn't even know who the RNLI are
Frankie Boyle - audience annihilation parts 1 & 2. then name one comic in US who'd have the balls to do a tenth of it hahahahaha
yeah just a shame he has been shit since.
Why would you recommend anyone watches that talentless hypocrite?
Americans are more easily offended so maybe the audiences seem more shocked, but the UK wins hands down with the content.
You missed the plot. The "shock and awe" crude jokes that jimmy and them can do there won't go over well here. The political satire that Bill Burr does about how we allow our government to rule us etc. would not go over well there. He is saying that to him, jokes about things that matter are "better" than the crude dark jokes Jimmy Carr has. I don't necessarily agree, I think he is comparing apples to oranges here. I think Burr and Carr are masters of their craft.
Its like saying a carpenter who specializes only on tables is better than a carpenter who specializes only on chairs. They can both be the best at what they're doing, because they're not doing the same thing.
Absolutely
Please watch the 20 most offensive jokes by Jimmy Carr. Afterwards you can decide which American comedian would do anything remotely close.
I'd say frankie Boyle is one of the most offensive comedians there has ever been.. lol this guy clearly hasnt got a clue when it comes to stand up comedy
@@jg1005 ALL of the most offensive comedians are from the UK or Australian. American stand up being edgy as a concept died in the 90's.
@@itsonlysound Andrew Shultz and Dave Chappell and maybe Mark Normand and Theo Von but not much
That evil guy from Alvin and the Chipmunks makes some horrible jokes that people walk out on
You clearly haven’t watched UK comedy in a long time. Frankie Boyle has not lost it AT ALL. Ricky Gervais, Billy Connolly, Sarah Millican, Romesh Ranganathan, Nish Kumar, Milton Jones, Kevin Bridges, Rachel Parris, Ed Byrnes, Katherine Ryan (now British, was Canadian!), James Acaster, Miles Jupp, Lee Mack, Josh Widdicombe, Al Murray, Bill Bailey, Rob Beckett…
You only had to mention the first 3.
They're all left leaning in fairness to his comments lol...
@@13.t.a yes that’s because, as I said in the other comment, racist and mean spirited right wing joke are not acceptable. My comment is referring to him saying right wing comedy is better, which it isn’t
@@13.t.a All the best comedians are left-leaning. It's just a fact of life that people who lean left are funny and right-wingers are not.
Yeah but gammons like this guy won't find comedians who are not sexist, homophobic and racist funny, why do you think he's moved to one of the most right wing states in the very right wing USA?
Frankie Boyle has always been 'woke' and its not a bad thing as far as I'm concerned... his comedy is still brutal 🤷🏻♂️
Woke.
Definition: alert to injustice in society, especially racism.
There. Now you have learned something. Feels great doesn’t it. Or could you care less?
@@TraitorFelon.14.3 if you're referring to me... I already knew what it meant, that's why I used the word... lol
@@13.t.a Yeah but when you sit on a panel with all black very anti white people joking about killing white people you've crossed a woke line especially when its not acceptable for other groups to say it about other groups its becoming the normal that black people are getting a free pass to pretty much say disgusting shit about certain skin colours specifically whites I don't know about you but to me that racism and Frankie should know better.
Also Frankie said that Brits should be ashamed of our country and our role in slavery calling this nation a scrounger a d criminal despite Britain having forced the mostly the entire world to abolish slavery a debt we didn't finish paying for until 2015.
@@samuel10125 we probably should be ashamed of our history and our country. Our politicians fund wars all over the world. Its disgusting. Nothing 'woke' about it 🤷🏻♂️
As for the racism, Frankie isn't racist
@@13.t.a We have nothing to be ashamed of the Spanish and the Portuguese aren't ashamed of the barbarism their empires committed and it was far far worse than anything we ever did we created, railways, trains, parliamentary democracy, the mafna Carta we have so much to be proud we literally built the pillars that modern society runs on today why should we be ashamed of the inventions we made.
He was the funniest comedian in British comedy. So funny that he could make Jimmy Carr cry laughing. The story was hilarious
Claudia laughing soo hard, her last name became Tinkleman
Tinkle is pee-pee, you mean Tickleman.
@@ninagray4441 he means she pissed herself laughing.
You know its funny when jimmy starts to laught normal
You can't write tears Jimmy. RIP Sean. Main man
Love the way Shaun used to go red after his most challenging jokes...what an absolute legend of comedy.
He doesn't seem to understand that despite his wife being very dim, she's the intellectual in their relationship.
The funniest part of the video was when you said that America did standup comedy better...
They do stand up better but definitely don’t do tv shows like this.
If they’ve watched of any of Jimmy Carr’s standup they’d know that he pushes the boundaries as much as any American comedian
I agree tbh, the stand-up scene in the UK is weak. They are all way funnier than American comedians when they're off script which is why panel shows are so good.
@@halfcentaur9836 It's less about UK standup being strong and more about American standup just not being funny to me.
Come on man they do! So fucking bland here! Where's the Bill Burrs? They get cancelled before they even begin!
Best channel on youtube!! keep them coming
I loved Sean, he always made me smile.. true British comedy legend! Rip
Nah Sean very much made fun of the tories or the queen, definitely not one to risk making fun of the left and get cancelled
i love how well you explain stuff before she gets into it so that she understands a lot beforehand rather than explaining jokes and whats going on as it goes along
For someone that's into comedy, but thinks that American comedians are more "out there" - I think you should watch more comedians. I didn't even watch the content of your video as I disagree with that statement. But, we all have our opinion!
No WAY are American comedians as edgy as UK ones, not even close!
Sean Lock could wrongfoot anyone. That's what made him unique. Most comedians follow a style, but however good, other comedians could guess where they were going. Lock didn't compete. Therefore, paradoxically, he always won.
You need to do an American football vs rugby video
'Countdown is for old people'?
I watched it VERY often all through primary school and high school...was almost always on the telly straight after school 😅🧠
Im in my 30’s and I’ve always loved Countdown.
Countdown was for students who’ve dodged class with a hangover.
Countdown was also very popular with uni students.
Are you joking? The Brits absolutely rock at standup. The Americans … really?
Americans get political because they love having a message and giving a sermon. It is all about personal expression for them. Brits keep comedy fun, so even if it is offensive, it is not sincere. This is true across a lot of media, apart from punk rock. American punk rock began in NYC as a bit of fun, but British punk rock was political from the get-go.
Yeah Jimmy Carr would never think of pushing the boundaries and go over the line...
RIP Sean. So great
everyone always points out seans spit line, but nobody ever took notice of miles his comeback.
Carrot in a Box is LEGENDARY!!!! Roisin was correct in her assessment that it was the greatest hustle, and he did it to Jon one more time.
"Challenging wank" will be immortal! RIP Sean.
Have a look at Gary Delaney ruthless one liners ; very near the knuckle
Sean Lock,the legendary seal clubber.His rectum of the year will be sadly missed R.I.P SEAN LOCK
Hard hitting is political? Only in America because they only have two teams in the game. Try Jimmy Carr in You Face or Mine. Not political but it does push the boundaries. Another channel 4 late nighter.
it's not that Americans do comedy better but it's all down to whether you are British or American
what does that even mean?
It obviously means, we have different sense of humours… 🤦♂️
Is there a reason why the sound of the clip is so low compared to your microphones?
The original Countdown was not made for old people, I have watched it from the beginning which was in 1982 and I was quite young then, a lot of the studio audience are mainly older people but the show has always had a young following because it needs a certain amount of intelligence to play at home and it is a game that you can join in with.
@@Tony-xn7sd I don’t expect his wife got that joke cos she’s American
It’s funny the top American comedians you mention I’d never heard of.
And the shows 'hottie' has a double first in maths from Oxford University. Whilst the other 'hottie' Suzie Dent has a Bachelor of Arts from Oxford University and a Masters degree from Princetown in languages. Two guys in shorts act as the glamourous assistants
Sean was amazing,So quick
Frankie Boyle not anti- establishment or Jimmy Carr not offensive?
British comedy is genius. It is so over the top, while pretending to be normal. Sean Lock had a brilliant mind for what was funny.
Carrot in the box is my favorite segment.
fyi: Norm MacDonald is Canadian.
It was comic relief that did it then asked for a season of it and it's been on ever since 🤙
We definitely poke some serious fun at politics and the establishment. What about Russel Howard, Mock the week, Have I Got News For You, Joe Lycett, or Jonathan Pie, just to mention a few.
I'd throw in Eddie Izzard, Stephen Fry, Ricky gervais. (Although ricky can have some right wingish comedy, he still does his bits at movie awards)
One British comedian that rly pushes the boundaries is Ricky Gervais
Does he? He's been doing the same jokes for a couple of decades now. He just changes the target based on what's current
@@halfcentaur9836 fair enough
Perhaps, it is just a shame he is not in any way funny
You clearly haven't watched as much UK comedy as you make out because we can say stuff in the UK that Americans would never dare to even think about
Love the reaction, you should try Jimmy Carr's 20 most offensive jokes, it might change your mind, Sean Lock passing was a huge loss to British comedy, sadly missed.
or any frankie boyle show
I'm glad you showed the first bit because it was the apparent manoevreing of the carrot,initially,that set this deception up.
jerry sadowitz makes Frankie Boyle seem like a boy scout
Skip to 4:25 because he talks absolute bollocks for 4 minutes 25 seconds.
Sean lock
Much missed😢
Watch the entire "Carrot in a Box" saga.
Jon's got to win one, right?
RIP Sean.
1st time watching this channel and only 2 minutes in and I'm thinking "WTF are you talking about? Better in America? More hard hitting? America is much more totalitarian than Britain!....
What is he talking about, mock the week mock the government every week, frankie Boyle and Russel Howard also do it, Sean lock does it on cats about the queen and thatcher, the last leg does it, Ricky gervais does trans jokes, has he ever actually watched any uk comedian?
I’ve also noticed something very recently about gigs in America, when someone tells one of those types of “jokes” (I use joke loosely as it comes across that they’re just expressing an opinion) the audience don’t actually tend to laugh they cheer and applaud it, they just love hearing shit they agree with and will cheer it anywhere.
Its also probably harder to do in the uk at a stand up gig without offending half the audience as in America the states and city’s are red or blue as they say so you’ll probably know when it’s safe to use that stuff where as in the uk people could be coming from anywhere you’re never guaranteed to have a majority audience that will agree with your politics and you don’t want half your audience potentially walking out.
I miss Sean Lock so much. I stumbled across 8 out of 10 Cats and 8OO10C Does Countdown a few years ago, and I could never get enough of him.
Jimmy Carr 100% pushes the boundaries as much as Americans
Great reaction... Sean Lock ABSOLUTE GENIUS! How about reacting to - Would I Lie to You ??? funniest panel show ever.
You should defo show Ricky Gervais at Oscars
Great reaction. Just a note, the quiz show, Countdown, was the first programme transmitted on channel 4.
Cant beat British comedy
Hugely missed 🙏❤️
Can someone please give me the name of the intro music ?
Check out Sean locks stand up he’s every bit as good as any U S stand up ( it’s available on CZcams) - would I lie to you is also brilliant.
So Ricky Gervais avoids talking about difficult issues? That's news to me.
What about Roy Chubby Brown? He's been saying stuff offensive to snowflakes for years!
Roisin Conaty is another comic who can be outrageous when it suits her
What do you mean, Countdown's for old people? I'm only 67 and I watch Countdown. Er.... oops....
This dude took all his mannerisms from Nish Kumar and Rimmer from Red dwarf🤣🤣🤣
What a legend
Right-wing IS the establishment in the UK. And UK standup's surpassed most of the current US flock some time ago. US standup stopped stalled a long time ago. They write one show and tour the shit out of it for years. UK and Irish stand up's write a new show every year. And yep, Frankie Boyle is woke, as most decent people are. Why would you not want to be aware of (and sympathetic to) social/racial injustice? UK comedy is just more clever now, cheap laughs are a thing of the past. You have to understand comedy to get it though.
I think Norm is a good comparison. They were both the comedians' comedian. Didn't give a crap and told the jokes that made themselves laugh.
I love Sean's version of the tiger that came to tea. A Tiger getting bladderred at the bar (urinating at the bar)
You should watch the second "carrot in a box" and "always lie to your children"
There was a few British comedians who tried to be edgy but they were cancelled and you'll only find them on CZcams
I used to drink with Sean Lock. Lovely bloke.
just found this channel, i like only one thing any chance of turning the sound of the videos up, can hear you 2 but it's sometimes very low in the background
With the island, Sean's missed a perfect opportunity for a great name - Isle Hitler
I subscribed as soon as you said Patrice.
British comedians can't be anti-establishment? I can't think of a single comedian who doesn't rip into the UK Government. Also, being right wing isn't anti-establishment when you've had Tories in power for a decade
i was stunned he would even think of saying that.
Bull , where is Rickey Cervase from ?
His other half didn't understand "carrot in a box" at all.
I’ve watched several of your videos & very much enjoyed them, but what got me to subscribe just now was when you likened Sean Lock to Norm Macdonald. I never thought about their styles being similar but I just realized they both have a flawless, seemingly effortless knack for making something hysterically funny, based solely on the absurdity of the concept. If you’ve never read Norm’s book “Based on a True Story” I’d recommend it. In fact, when you read Chapter 23, “Make a Wish”, you’ll see uncanny similarities to Sean’s seal bit.
