There is a subsequent 8OO10C episode where they get Greg to this impersonation again and then Chris Eubanks walks onto the set. Then they compare who sounds most like Chris. Hilarious.
The thing that makes Gregg's impression so funny is that it is actually accurate.
Chris Eubank was a world-champion boxer with a lisp and a high-pitched voice who often said "I wasn't a fighter, I was a pugelist".
I wouldn’t say it’s accurate 😂 it’s similar though. You’d have to be pretty stupid and/or deaf if you closed your eyes and couldn’t tell who was talking out of Greg or Chris
It’s not accurate at all 😂 he’s got the lisp right maybe but everything else is horrible
There's no e in pugilist, with or without a lisp. 😁😉
I think that's wishful thinking there, mate. That was NOT and acurate impression. The humour is in the fact it has a tiny resemblence but is far from it.
"attacking the city of Tokyo" is because Greg Davies is massive like some huge godzilla monster lol. Love that joke.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Quality
That is one of my most favourite lines ever, always makes me crack up.
Greg Davies is a massive man, he's 6-ft 8 so the joke is fitting 🤣
@@Nida-tk9wl 6'8 ? Jesus, I didn't know he was that tall
19:06 Sean says “He sounds like compare the meerkats” They are a series of commercials for insurance in the UK. All the characters are Meerkats which all have Russian accents. It is a bit weird but proven to be very popular. Chris Eubank was a professional boxer who has a distinctive voice and a lisp. There is a video where they get Greg to do it again only for Chris Eubank to suddenly walk on stage. As you can imagine the reaction is great.
You could have given him a Spoiler alert.
@@obijon7441 it’s in the title of the video mate he’s gonna be spoiled either way
If you want to see Sean laughing- Joe Wilkinson's poetry 👌
Fell about at Joe's poem and at Sean laughing at Joe's poem begging him to stop. Brilliant
Seans reaction to harry hills ventriloquist version of sitting on the dock of the bay is gold 🙂👍
He has already reacted to the "i just named your penis" poem.
"Hello, Policeman!"
You absolutely need to do the follow up to this.
Chris Eubank was one of the greatest boxers in his weight class of all time, and won one of the most brutal fights ever. (he lost his gumshield and practically bit his tongue clean off, but continued on to win) If you are a boxing fan check out Chris Eubank Vs Nigel Benn.
Gregg's impression is spot on. Chris is eccentric but a lovely guy.
What does that make Steve Collins? He beat both of them twice.
"A stupendous confectionary" - Chris Eubank
Making Sean Lock laugh is like having a badge of honor
If you want to see Sean Lock really lose it check out Wilkinsons poem about naming penises. He nearly passes out 😂
@@MonkeyBusinessMan Ohh god yess are work of utter genius !!
The big Jonny Vegas head was from his sitcom called "Ideal" and it was about a weed dealer called Moz played by Jonny Vegas, it's a very funny sitcom
This has been said a million times, but Cats Does Countdown makes absolutely no sense in clip form, if you want to understand the show. Watch a full episode. It's the same with Taskmaster. If all you are watching is out of context 23 second clips, it's just confusing.
Another clip of Greg Davis on the show, and they bring in Chris Eubank!!! His face is a picture 😄 🤣
The next episode that they had w Greg Davies, they got Chris Eubank on to surprise Davies and it was amazing 😂
comedians have said that making sean lock laugh was a badge of honour in the comedy world
The guy who said testes is called Paul Foot, he's a very good comedian
And a graduate in electronics engineering, which makes him close to being a god!
@@BillySugger1965 did he burn his hair off to form a yesterday mullet via an electric shock?
@@lindylou7853 😆
absolutely fantastic standup - you need to see his material King Boomer!
Neil Gaiman, the author of Sandman, American Gods and Coraline to name a few said of Jonathon Ross, he's the only celebrity he'd ever met who was the exact same person in the flesh as he is on TV. I've always thought that that was a great compliment. Authenticity is King, which is why CZcams creators thrive.
He also wrote my favourite ever Doctor Who single episode story. The Doctor's Wife...
@@joguipo There is no end to Jonathon Ross' talent :)
@@ianstopher9111 I totally agree. But I was talking about Neil Gaiman lol
Does that include the coke-sniffing and sex parties? I haven’t seen those on screen. 😂
*Jonathan
You haven't checked out Bill Bailey yet! He is awesome, multitalented! My girlfriend laughed so hard of me laughing at a Bill Bailey stand-up show, that she got an hernia, no kidding! Even tweeted with Bill Bailey from the hospital when she had surgery! Bill Bailey has featured in many of the compilation clips you have watched ;) Its the bald on top dude with long hair and a beard!
Also, Im pretty sure you would love the series Black Books, starring Bill Bailey and Dylan Moran! Its brilliant, funniest series ever!
Yes!! Love bill bailey, love black books, and Dylan Moran. Boomer has to see them :D
At a later show they get Greg to do it again and then brought the actual Chris Eubank onto the show. V funny. Also, the bit about attacking Tokyo is referring to him being the size of Godzilla
Christopher Livingstone Eubank (born 8 August 1966) is a British former professional boxer who competed from 1985 to 1998. He held the WBO middleweight and super-middleweight titles between 1990 and 1995. He reigned as world champion for over five years, was undefeated in his first ten years as a professional, and remained undefeated at middleweight. His world title contests against fellow Britons Nigel Benn and Michael Watson helped British boxing ride a peak of popularity in the 1990s, with Eubank's eccentric personality making him one of the most recognisable celebrities of the period.
His son with the same name is Christopher Livingstone Eubank Jr. (born 18 September 1989) he is a British professional boxer. He has held multiple championships in two weight classes, including the WBA interim middleweight title twice between 2015 and 2021; the IBO super-middleweight title twice between 2017 and 2019; and the British middleweight title in 2016.
If you want to know the kind of person Johnny Vegas is, look up the poem he wrote for this show. Really touching
The big head is from the geat sitcom "Ideal" starring Johnny Vegas, Worth a watch with the Queen.
💯
You have to watch the follow-up to the Chris Eubank impression. They invite Greg back on a later episode and ask him to do the impression again, then bring Chris Eubank on as a guest and Greg absolutely shits himself and almost runs out the studio. Chris has an iconic voice, a very soft and precise voice, considering he was a boxer. But he took it really well, he thought it was lovely that his voice was making people happy. He was a good sport about it.
Eubank was a great boxer, he was unbeaten within his weight class his whole career and retired with a record of like 45-2 or something. It'd be like publicly doing a ridiculous impression of Conor MacGregor or Floyd Mayweather and then he comes into the room.
That 2 was Steve Collins, knocked the bollix out of him, twice. But yeah, the follow up sketch was brilliant.
I would have refrained from telling how Mr. Eubank reacted. That's like a spoiler. Saying what you said without that part would have been the best IMO.
Why not ruin the surprise! Delete it before it’s read. Xx
Was about to say this to
Chris Eubank won 45 lost 5 drew 2👍✌️
She didn't "give away a word" the letters could be mixed around to spell "Prime Vag"
You’re absolutely spot on about if Sean Lock finds something funny you know someone has done something right. This is even eluded to in the Sean Lock tribute show.
You need to look up Greg’s second impression of him on 8ootcdcd
Please watch the kittens clip from 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown. Jimmy getting stressed while trying to control a bunch of mischievous kittens is one of the funniest things I've ever seen 😂
I saw Sean Lock doing stand up at the comedy store in London absolutely superb - laughed myself into next week !
Another Greg Davies awesome bit is him on The Graham Norton Show, with Jodie Foster, Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling.
Gosling ends up in some distress. 😂 Give it a look.
Greg Davies' quote sources:
1. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times". - the opening line from Charles Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities" novel.
2. "Shall I compare Thee to a Summer's day?" - Sonnet 18 by Shakespeare.
3. De Niro's mirror monologue from "Taxi Driver"
4. Clint Eastwood from "Dirty Harry" (when Greg goes off at Sean)
5. Russell Crowe's reveal to the Emperor in "Gladiator" (that Greg fails utterly), and
6. His last retort to Jimmy is "If thou wert my fool, I'd have thee whipped for being old before thy time", which is a slight paraphrasing from Shakespeare's "King Lear".
Maybe you'd like, Benidorm.
A very funny sitcom, based, obviously in Benidorm. Johnny Vegas is a character for the first few series. I think you & the Queen would enjoy x
ah damn, I was holding on to "Snail On A Gnome" to type it to a future video out of the blue lol
Great stuff as always Mr B!
There’s another episode when they ask Greg to repeat his impression, then bring on the real Chris Ubeck….. priceless!
It's the same one?
@@RizlaaKing No, a different episode
czcams.com/video/3YJVpZdf464/video.html
Chris Eubank is a former world champion British boxer of the 80’s and 90’s, but the way he styles himself is as a fop or a dandy of the 17th or 18th centuries, monocle and all. He loves to play along with the personal ridicule he gets for comic effect.
Not to mention what a damn good boxer he was. He played arrogant but backed it up in the ring.
You have GOT to show when Chris Eubank shows up ! PLEASE 🙏
The guy who was hoping to spell out testes is called Paul Foot. Another really funny comedian whose mind veers off into the random and weird. Well worth checking out some of his stand up stuff
Waiting for the next inbetweeners episode. I hope queen boomer has some time in her hands soon
You should see if you can find 'Man Down', it is Greg's sitcom which loosely follows his time as a teacher. Its good, odd but good.
Especially the first season with Rik Mayall. Also Rosin Conarty's character is an absolute delight, every line she delivers is just perfect. And the way she does the part where her uncle died by lobster, omg genius.
*Jonathan Ross* is a legend. *Friday Night with Jonathan Ross* was easily the best talk show.
*Alan Carr: Chatty Man* was the 2nd best talk show. His other shows *Friday Night Project/Sunday Night Project* and *Alan Carr's Celebrity Ding Dong* were also quality.
*So Graham Norton* and *V Graham Norton* were average talk shows.
*The Graham Norton Show* was also average, which is why it was on *BBC Two.*
*Jonathan Ross* and *Russell Brand* made some phone calls to comedic actor *Andrew Sachs* about Russell sleeping with his granddaughter for a laugh, but Sachs didn't find it funny like they expected.
*The Graham Norton Show* was then moved to *BBC One* in October 2009, and *Jonathan Ross* announced he would be leaving the *BBC* in July 2010, no doubt because he thought the *BBC* weren't as supportive as he wanted them to be following the Sachs controversy, and most likely thought that them moving *The Graham Norton Show* to *BBC One* too was a tactic to push him out.
So he moved to *ITV* and *Graham Norton* took *Jonathan Ross'* slot on *BBC One.*
Now, partly because most Americans and younger Brits online are ignorant, and partly because older Brits have short memories, *ITV* shows are largely ignored online, even though *ITV* was the most popular UK network until the early 2000s, is the 2nd most popular UK network today, and has the 2nd, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th most popular channels in the UK.
If *Jonathan Ross* was still at the *BBC* he would still have the best show, as he is clearly head and shoulders above *Graham Norton* as an interviewer.
His sitcom Man Down is good.
Jonathan Ross has been hugely helpful to the careers of a great number of the comedians of the last 25 years.
😂😂😂😂thanks for showing this. Forgotten all about it😂😂😂😂
"Well... look a'here, we got ourselves a reader..." Classic Bill Hicks.
Good selection of clips😂😂
The attacking Tokyo is in reference to Greg Davies being 6'8" tall and huge..😂
It was ‘ PRIME VAG’ as in Vagina. Near the beginning.
19:25 Compare the meerkats … it’s an advert for an insurance comparison website called, “Compare the market”, featuring stuffed toy meerkats from Romania. Hence they speak English with a weird accent, as you would if you were a stuffed toy. Their famous catchphrase follows on from an explanation of some new feature of the website, “Simples!”. The meerkats have flown all over the world to demonstrate aspects of insurance and now there are baby meerkats, too. So, if you here a Brit say, “Simples!”, this is what it’s from … and they’re silly as they’re promoting an insurance company advert … even Boris has used this in a speech about covid during the pandemic.
The guy hoping for "TESTES" is Paul Foot. An unpredictable comedian, can be surreally funny, but I once saw him die on his arse in a comedy club.
Seen this clip before still cracking me up hilarious 😂
Been too long since we had the Queen. She makes the channel.
There is another clip on a different date when Greg went back on the show. He is asked to do his impression & Chris shows up! It's great 😉
"Attacking the city of Tokyo" is a reference to Godzilla....(a giant, if you need it spelling out 🙄😂)
There is a series of adverts for Compare the Market which are meercats with Russian accents- that's what Sean was referring to
Johnathon Ross actually got rid of his lisp when he was a teen but he discovered that having a lisp helped his career so he does the lisp
Hey King Boomer I think I have a great clip suggestion for you: Its from another Panel show called QI, and its the clip where Stephen Fry just gets destroyed by everyone as he tries to say "They say of the Acropolis where the Parthenon is..."
You should really do Joe Wilkinsons poem on 8 of of 10 cats
Oh you did it 3 months ago. My apologies 😂
Johnny Vegas did a great thing years ago called 'Who's ready for ice-cream'. There are parts from his stand up comedy show on it. It's on CZcams-really good.
Greg Davies hosts a show called Task Master, and they have their own CZcams channel with full episodes on.
I like Jonathan Woss, or Wossy, as some I've heard one of the British comedians refer to him as. But I didn't know him until I went down the British panel show rabbit hole (awesome that you call it the same exact thing). But I'm really a fan of Graham Norton and Alan Carr. But I came across Graham first and foremost - before any of the panel shows - because of my own idol Cher. I was looking for Cher interviews on CZcams, and came across older ones on Graham's older show from the early 2000s which led to the newer one, from there I came across other comedians who I looked up on CZcams, saw clips of them on panel shows, fell in love with panel shows.

There is a clip where jimmy asks greg to do the impression of chris eubank . And chris comes out from back stage as greg is doing the impression . Its very funny . A must watch for you boomer .
They did.a follow up where they surprised Greg by bringing out the real Chris Eubanks.
You'll have to see if you can get Never Mind the Buzzcocks where you are it's a music quiz and Greg is the current chairman
The reason Rachel started giggling is because they had the letters for "prime vag"...
Massive respect to you king boomer,more inbertweeners please.
Queen Boomer would castrate him if he did it without her and I think sadly this week she is too busy to join him.
Jonathan Ross is married to the writer of the film Kick Ass and The Kingsman films that are directed by Matthew Vaughan.
King Boomer I think you're ancestors are definitely English. I love your enthusiasm and appreciation for our comedy. Believe me it can get more weird and Ruthless
You should watch The IT Crowd. Such a funny program
Re the "Chippendales", Fabio was originally introduced by Joe Wilkinson who claimed he's his half-brother. He became a regular feature on the show, bringing on the prize in each episode and sometimes featuring in Jimmy's stunts and Joe's appearances.
Chris Eubank sounds almost but not entirely unlike Greg’s impression. 😁
The person with the mullet hairdo is Paul Foot. There are a couple of videos of his stand-up out there, very funny man.
Have you reacted to the one where Greg was asked to do it again, and Chris was there? Chris also came to my special needs child's school and he said that exams weren't important. The audible intake of breath from parents and teacher's alike was deafening. Nevertheless, Chris was a big hit with the kids and stayed long after he should have left to talk, encourage, sign autographs and have photo's taken with every child AND their siblings. Lovely man who is surprisingly sensitive. 💪🤐💪
Attacking the City of Tokyo: Greg is a giant. He was filing in our village last week. He’s enormous!
You need to watch the continuation with Greg`s second Eubanks` impression.
10:10 Because Greg Davies is an extremely tall man, the joke Jimmy made about attacking the city of Tokyo is a Godzilla joke.
It was mentioned in the comments before: they actually got Chris Eubank to appear on the show and Gregg's face when he realizes is priceless, not to mention Sean's reaction.
czcams.com/video/xU-3Zdei1N0/video.html
Countdown was on daytime TV. First program and watched on channel 4. And they would never allow swearing
GREG DAVIES ALSO HOSTS A SHOW CALLED "TASKMASTER" , MANY OF THE PEOPLE YOU SEE ON 8 OUT OF 10 CATS AND OTHER TOPICAL COMEDY SHOWS HAVE TO SOLVE PROBLEMS OR DO CHALLENGES THAT ARE A BIT LEFT FIELD.
a brilliant show what is written by and stars Jonny vegas called "Ideal" Jonny plays as a drug dealer who sells weed, and all you ever see is his flat and the stairway to the flat, the characters that go to his flat are so funny like Psycho Paul and Cartoon Head, King Boomer you gotta give it a watch, there is about 7 series of it too, British culture comedy at its very best
The quip about Greg attacking Tokyo, was a reference to his height, comparing him to Godzilla. 🦖
What i would give to hear him actually finish the Gladiator quote. 🤣🤣
Would love to see you react to episodes of gimme gimme gimme so funny and rude will have you in stitches
You should definitely watch the Johnny Vegas live act where he makes a teapot with beer.
Chris Eubank turns up in a later episode and parodies himself alongside Greg Davies. Search Greg Davies and Chris Eubank. It's worth a watch. Especially Greg Davies's face!
Jonathan Ross started out in the mid 1980s on British TV with a show called 'The Last Resort' and it stood out I think from the usual fare of chat shows at the time which were very formal, and it had a more anarchic mix - it borrowed/stole heavily I think also from David Lettermans show in the US. Since then he's been a constant pretty much - I think he is o.k - he and Russell Brand got into some bother a few years back for insensitive remarks about a comic actor Andrew Sachs, much ado about nothing it was really. Im more for him than against him I guess.
Jonathan Ross had Nirvana play on his show and it was their first British TV appearance
I like Jonathan Ross. He has made some poor choices in his time but he's definitely not bad. He's very open minded to things, also, and advocated for British version of RuPaul's Drag Race because it was campy, funny and creative and felt the UK needed variety like that.
considering the push to get young kids into drag, maybe we shouldn't promote it much eh
@@miff227 what push? Or is Facebook at it again with bs stories with an agenda
I'd recommend "TV Heaven, Telly Hell - Johnny Vegas". Basically a show that Sean Lock hosted with guests, the episode with Johnny Vegas just descends into chaos with Johnny Vegas going crazy... It's absolutely brilliant.
Hi main muppet....just to explain...Sean's comment re compare the meerkat is just a comparison website real name is Compare the Market...thanks for appreciating the late great Sean Lock....have you watched Sean and Miles Jupp from the series....my absolute fav bits...highly recommend you have a look. Take care oh great master muppet 😆
You have to watch the follow up video where they get Greg to do it again!
Jonathan Ross is pretty beloved in the UK, his chat show was the number #1 prime time chat show before Graham Norton, from around 1995 to 2010 he was the top dog in UK chat shows with the best guests and music acts. Around 2008 Graham Norton, who had been around for a while, started to get bigger guests and he also got syndicated in the US (the first UK chat show host to do so) and so he exploded in popularity and replaced Jonathan.
That was great! Yay to discovery!
So funny, love this clip. 👍🤣😂
There was an episode where Chris Eubanks came on just after one of Gregg's impressions of him/
The "Sean Bean" Joe Lycett episode is HILARIOUS !!!
Johnny vegas does a show called 'Ideal',great characters in it and worth a react sometime in the next few years :)
Jonathon Ross had the Katana because he is big into Manga culture.
Greg Davies 'attacks' Tokyo because he is Godzilla, of course.
The next time Greg was on the show they brought Chris Eubank on to have a word with Greg.
*Jonathan
Love your video, but why is the original video cropped
You’ve got to watch Sean and Miles compilation on this, so funny 😂
Hey King Boomer, check out the episode where Chris Eubank surprises Greg Davis as he is doing his voice, you will love it
The guy who you said looks like he's just done some coke is Paul Foot. Absolutely hilarious comedian, although you have to have an eccentric and abstract sense of humour (imo) to really appreciate his style. Defo worth checking him out, you never know till you try i guess :-)
Compare the meerkats is an advert on UK TV:)
That's made my cheeks ache. You need to watch a Chris Eubank clip, it's pretty spot on 🤣
"Attacking the city of Tokyo" - Greg Davies is six foot eight and 380 pounds, he is an enormous fella, people often make jokes comparing him to King Kong or Godzilla. This joke was specifically aimed at the original Godzilla movies whereby Godzilla is always attacking Tokyo and knocking buildings over. 😉
there's an interview with Chris Eubank that was put out only yesterday. The man has always been eccentric and weird but at this stage he's lost his mind. His son Seb Eubank was 29 years old, just became a father and was living in dubai, suddenly died of a heart attack whilst chilling on the beach.
