This is a sketch I feel worked better in the radio version. The mental imagery of a TV "pouring lizards" into a house is far weirder in the imagination than the TV version managed. However, having the exact same cast do the sketch again for TV helps preserve the surreal energy that the original had.
0:08 - the way the repairman reacts when he hears the TV is full of lizards suggests that this problem has happened before, and that to me absolutely makes this sketch.
I thought Mark Heap was incredible as Alan Statham in Greenwing, but after discovering JAM only a couple of days ago he went up in my books. He has a manic, almost Rik Mayall vibe about him in this show (excluding the Drs waiting room scenes). This and the House Selling scene are my new favourites from Mark! Amazing creepiness without being OTT full on horror/psycho!
This is a fantastic satire of the nepotism that permeates all aspects of British society. Mr Lizard was hired by a family member, "another Mr Lizard", and is clearly incompetent and rude. Safe in the knowledge that he will never be sacked by his kin.
Like a modern day Tales of the Unexpected! 2:39 is one of my favourite Mark Heap moments. Of course 'The Actor' Kevin Eldon & Amelia Bullmore just brilliant as always
Ooh fancy seeing you here lol. I'm about to upload a DVD update with this show in it. Mark Heap is in loads of British comedy. He's amazing, his facial expressions! lol. You should get Big Train! Stars Simon Pegg and Mark Heap amongst others. It's hilarious.
Eldon and Heap - the BBC should be begging them to work together again but I guess the BBC are too busy congratulating themselves on commissioning another series of Mrs Brown's Boys...
just found this great series, but looks like I'll have to just watch this here on youtube because I can't find any shop that sells the seasons. even the torrent sites seem to lack this show, such a shame
My TV plugs directly into my girlfriend so that the lizards can be disposed of humanely. Unrelatedly: How would you guys diagnose a sort of green rash around my private parts that slithers around as if it was alive under my skin?
i hate it when lizards come out of my television, i had this problem about 4 weeks ago. I managed to get an anti lizard device fitted to the cable, they sell them in Maplins for £29.99.
Yup Seasons 1 & 2 released together like it was here! Its a sketch show but one of the best! I'm not a fan of Little Britain because this is how a sketch show should be done! Simon Pegg is awesome in it and it has loads of great British comedy actors.
Kevin Eldon devolving into a completely incomprehensible rage is one of the funniest things ever broadcast on British TV
its an empathy test. you failed.

Right...

Aphex in the background makes it so much more tense

In a lot of the sketches it's actually the original radio audio dubbed over them lip synching
Mark Heap always plays a good nutter
Sweep them up.
"Wipe them off the screen with windscreen wipers." I love that line.
no need to swear sir
@@joeallen8619 I CAN GO FUCKING SWEAR IN MY HOUSE IF I WANT TO!!
Early Aphex Twin playing in the background another atmosphere creating innovator
@d that album was released in 94. His debut record was in 91. I think that constitutes 'early', especially over a 30 year career
@@MrJohnQCitizen if it's off an album a few years into a 30 year career then surely that's early?
Love this episode. When I saw it as a kid, I knew right there and then that I was going to be a Lizard when I grew up.
0:08 - the way the repairman reacts when he hears the TV is full of lizards suggests that this problem has happened before, and that to me absolutely makes this sketch.
Spot on. Such a clever face, it pulls the whole thing together. He’s seen this before 🤣
Of course Mr. Lizard has had it happen before
Fucking nincompoop
This is pure genius!
Mark Heap is one of the best comedy actors around. What an incredible man.
Oh England.... how I love thine warped sense of humour.
I love Chris Morris' love for Mark Heap.
Mark Heap is my favourite actor. He's great in spaced.
There's moments in spaced, Friday night dinner, and jam that show how his style is unique to him
@@uber-cg8vq dont forget green wing
Even better in green wing
It's the law in Britain that Kevin Eldon and Mark Heap have to appear in all comedies
One of the few recent laws I'm actually in favour of.
I remember watching this when I was high. Really changed me and shaped my life
aphex twin in the background
Possibly my favourite comedy sketch ever. Sheer genius
Love it when he says 'no, you sweep them up'! haha, his expression is amazing!
Why are people calling him Mark Heap? He's Mr Lizard...
down the wire.. the.. the.. the lizards.
I fudging love this clip.
This always makes me laugh uncontrollably every time i come back to it.
2:29 - For some reason, "fucking nincompoop" really gets me.
Absolutely fantastic sketch, though
Mark Heap's talents need to be appreciated more
Why hasn't Kevin Eldon won a BAFTA for something by now, he genuinely is a fine actor
Being properly trained in Customer Service is important.
I work in Customer Service, the temptation to speak like this tomorrow in work is immense
His name is Mr Lizard, or Diseased Halal if you have closed captions on.
Everyone involved with both this AND Big Train....absolute class......way ahead of it's time and STILL miles infront
My reaction to this on mushrooms;
Wwwwwwwhat the flying fuck is going on?

No mention of Jim from Friday night dinner you not like ?
Just noticed that Mark Heap is all dressed in green. Maybe he did put the lizards there after all.
Maybe yes.
No, it was the cable company sending lizards through the wires. Pay attention
@@gregjohnson2335 - Or was it the TV owner putting lizards in his own TV?
Hands up who thinks it was David Icke ☝️
Chris Morris is a bona fide motherfucking genius.

Genius. Simple as.
'No, you sweep them up.'
You filled ya tele with lizards 🦎 😂😂😂
Woah, that's Aphex Twin playing in the background.
hahah... could be Mark Heap's finest moment :-)
Like a modern day Tales of the Unexpected! 2:39 is one of my favourite Mark Heap moments. Of course 'The Actor' Kevin Eldon & Amelia Bullmore just brilliant as always
This is some of the funniest shit ever
greatest sketch ever
Showed this to a friend. He said this is “really creepy... Like demon Magick sort of creepy.” Lol
Every retail worker fantasizes about fucking with rude customers like this lol
Should've called the SCP foundation in on this one... :D
Man, I love Jam.
God bless Aphex Twin...
Totall, utter, absolute genius!!
This and Lucy Tizeman are the best ever sketches from Jam !
im not having a tv pouring lizards into my house!
You filled your telly with lizards
I love this so much. A favourite. JAAAAAAM
I had a TV set delivered by Amazon to the Amazon, and when I plugged it in lizards started coming out of it.
You sweep them up
kevin eldon is a great comedian
Ooh fancy seeing you here lol. I'm about to upload a DVD update with this show in it.

The lizards consumed them all
fucking loved this series,and chris morris is a genius,it woudnt of been the same without the cast,thought kevin eldon was a vry underated comic actor
RED MIST Mark Heap is superb here too.
"ANOTHER Mister lizard"
hehehehe >:D
aphex twin and jam, what a combo
I have no response to this except to say that the background music fucking makes it.
this is awesome
The way Mr Lizard (that IS his name) taunts them with a tongue waggle as he leaves, presumably back up the wire, is so funny.
2020 is that TV set.
"What's your name?"
"Mr Lizard🦎"
"What's your bosses name?"
"Another Mr Lizard🦎"
hahahah im pretty sure this was the first jam sketch i saw, fucking brilliant
10 lizards dislike this video
IS that mark heap?! thats friggin amazing.
Epic dystopian comedy.
Just watching The Amazing Spiderman with Andrew Garfield and all I can think of is Mr Lizard.
well now i have to add it to my giant list of things i want to buy. lol
Holy fuck, I'm crying with laughter
YOU... Did it.
Classic stuff
Wouldn't have happened if they got satellite.
Iguanas.
Eldon and Heap - the BBC should be begging them to work together again but I guess the BBC are too busy congratulating themselves on commissioning another series of Mrs Brown's Boys...
just found this great series, but looks like I'll have to just watch this here on youtube because I can't find any shop that sells the seasons. even the torrent sites seem to lack this show, such a shame
Facebook: Would you like to buy our new TV?
Everyone who uses old Reddit memes: 0:38
Shalom
Oh Jim Bell.
The music is Curtains by Aphex Twin.
No. The best quote is surely the wife.. "its about bloody time, its a bloody mess."
They have nice *Curtains*
They selected them for quite an ambient environment, eh? Good work.
Volume 2.
but do they have *mould* on the *windowsill* ?
how i respond to jannies when they see my posts "Sweep them up"
Welcome....In JAM!
Jaaaaaam
jjjjjjjjaaaaaaammmmmmmm
Mr lizard
My TV plugs directly into my girlfriend so that the lizards can be disposed of humanely.
Unrelatedly: How would you guys diagnose a sort of green rash around my private parts that slithers around as if it was alive under my skin?
@arnoldlayne1991 Actually the pissed off guy is Kevin Eldon. Mark Heap is Mr Lizard
This is what its like speaking to BTs billing department......"down the wire, by mistake......"
i hate it when lizards come out of my television, i had this problem about 4 weeks ago. I managed to get an anti lizard device fitted to the cable, they sell them in Maplins for £29.99.
But how to cope now that Maplins are closed ?
fucking hell, jam zones me out every time... in a good way, mind
big train? AHH i'm looking that up now.
ugh but is it available for the states?
Maybe the silliest Jam sketch
genius
I like to think Mr Lizard is the same character as Jim from Friday night dinner, he’s just retired.
We've all been there.
ah yes someone directed me to this side of youtube again
Lmao.
Mark, you beautiful weirdo..
Yup Seasons 1 & 2 released together like it was here!
Its a sketch show but one of the best! I'm not a fan of Little Britain because this is how a sketch show should be done! Simon Pegg is awesome in it and it has loads of great British comedy actors.
Mr lizard😂😂
and I seem to have wandered into the strange part of CZcams again...
Why'd you fill your telly with lizards...?
No, you sweep them up.
Never heard of programme what channel was it on?
2:39 lmfao. mark heaps a hero lyk.
i still don't understand this, yet I'm happy to quote it.
