@@bubz3t136 Well, I watched the new Spitting Image and thought it sucked, was barely funny and certainly not satire, more just parody. I watched about 10 minutes of Cunk on Earth and thought it just wasn't funny. Outside of newswipe she's just never been funny. I saw Ricky Gervais's afterlife, and that was heartwarming and terribly sad, but again, not very funny. Other then that, nothing springs to mind. In short, no. Check in with me in another 11 years time, friend.
@@Feyd01 Do you think Paul Whitehouse copied this character, for his aristocrat character on The Fast Show? I know Mark Williams stole his "..which was nice" character from Bill Murray's character in Caddyshack.
@@bubz3t136 stole is a strong word. If the characters were identical, you could certainly say that. Were they inspired by other comedians? Almost certainly.
Brilliant stand up and author. Should be a national treasure.
❤️
We get Stephen Fry instead.
One of my favourites characters from Newman & Badiel. Jarvis.
Yes, come back Rob. British Comedy needs all the help it can get these days.
What about now?

Ugh, you can say that again.
Baddiel and Newman were our Cook and Moore.
I suppose so. But like Cook and Moore, there was a mass bust-up that saw them part ways.
Fantastic. 😂😂😂
These were awesome.
Remember comedy? When you could make fun of things? What a pleasure to see this again.
Fantastic!!!!!
I don't want to come over all Rob Newman....
...oh god...
I do and I'm not even gay, but out of respect for his comic genius.
Imagine if he just had a clean suit on, and was about to go on stage...
Oh god!!!!
Handsome man, but he'll secretly be a bird, just like Baddiel, and all the other faux male celebrities.
😂😂😂
Brilliant
Brilliant. Rob Newman was the funnier of the two definately😂😂
Gross.
I love it!
m'ooh, God!
F fabulous oh god
Funniest man alive
Happy days. I wish Newman stuck to doing stuff like this - the political stuff is all very worthy but he's at his best when he's being silly.
Sebastian Horsley, but funny.
😄 🤣
Shame he fell out with DB. History Today was genius.
I hear he is now an activist?
Might try some of that lesbian material.
