I went to see the Red Arrows today….

Quite how Mr. Marlee (aka Little Scottie) can comment on anyone else’s height is beyond me… 😀

My wife has always proclaimed that there is nothing more painful than childbirth.

Clearly never trodden on a plugtop in the middle of the night then!

Dr “what’s the matter with you then?”
Patient “I fell over onto my backside”
Dr “rectum?”
Patient “well, it didn’t do them any good!”

I wasn’t going to post on this thread but that did make me laugh out loud.

Carry on.

It’s my girl friends birthday later this month, she told me that she wants a Spa Day.

When I give it to her I am going to tell her that it is pronounced “Spade”.:D

Thread 52, from what you say,I recon you have just shot yourself in the foot, Nowt wrong with the “Carry on” films, they were lighthearted comedy films. It’s like music, once upon a time, long, long time ago, I was quite “With it” I just cannot stand now, todays modern so called music, and tend to vere towards light classicle, and Andre Reiu, But thats my choice as yours is yours.I can’t see the need for anyone to throw their toys out of their prams, over such a subject as jokes.

Just as a matter of interest, what sort of jokes, rock your boat?.and splits your sides laughing?.

I like the Goons (although a bit before my time) Python, Spike Milligan , Billy Connolly, Ben Elton, Eddie Izzard, Ken Dodd, Tim Vine, Ross Noble, Dara O’Briain, Lee Mack and lots more.
TV series; The Young Ones, Dad’s army, Bottom, The Thin Blue Line, Blackadder, Father Ted, The Thick of it. Alan Partridge.
I enjoyed new things like Veep, Charlie Brooker’s A Touch of Cloth, Bad Education, Outnumbered, Not Going Out – all sorts really.

Things like Love Thy Neighbour and Mind Your Language leave me cold and slightly embarrassed. Alf Garnett was a parody, a well done parody, of the bigoted types that existed at time, and still do. Let’s face it, the Carry On films were pretty poor stuff really.

Carry On, Goon Show, Navy Lark and quality classic British comedy of that sort appeals to me far more than most or the current crop of ‘comedy’ peddlers. And I’m only 31!

How dare he lambast the carry on’s.Great British humor at its very best,carry on cabbie and carry on constable among the finest.:D

Les was a master of his art,honed in working mens clubs over years,
“hysterical rectumy”

But my hero was bob Monkhouse.

Scott,;)
Re your last re “Little Jim” on the Goon show, methinks you are a little too young to remember them,I know there is a Tape one can buy, as I have one, at the time, it was quite funny, I still think they were.
If you get a chance, have a listen, you will see how the changes in humour has changed since then.But in it’s time, it was the “In thing” to listen to.

Actually that original joke was a very Les Dawson type of joke and i hope the angels are laughing their wings off in the other world!

If there was an Olympic Games for Jokes, Good old Les, would have walked off stage with a GOLD. How he carried on telling jokes that run from one to another, seemingly without taking a second breath, never ceased to amaze me 😀

If Carry on Up the Khyber was best then my God the rest were worse….

I cannot believe you mentioned Carry On films in a thread about humour. They were terrible at the time and have dated very badly.

Surely you’re not including ‘Carry On Up The Khyber’ in that statement? 😮

As a great man once said “Bring on the dancing girls. Get rid of this idiot! ” 😉

Hi Derkf. I would think by now, that you have realised you have to “Ride the storm out” and be pretty thick skinned on this forum at times, Yep, things do get heated, and Andy cast his fly, and you rose to it,As for lightning up, gone are the days when you could watch such programs ont telly like, “Love thy neighbour”, Alf Garnet,etc, who a lot of us loved.but sadly now gone forever.
It’s all down to the “Do gooders” and PC Brigade.
Todays Comedians, can’t tell a joke, without a load of “Fs” and “Cs” thrown in, take out all the swear words, and most would be out of a job.However, thats just my opinion.Lifes far too short, to be a misery.

There is nothing at all wrong with my sense of humour as anyone who actually knows me (rather than judges from a handful of internet posts) would know. There are plenty of modern comedies and comedians that can be very funny and it isn’t necessary to resort to old stereotypes to raise a laugh. It is easy to blame the PC Brigade, whatever that is, but it dawned on society and comedians that making jokes at the expense of black people, the Irish or whatever is no longer acceptable or indeed necessary.
Listen to Tim Vine. No swearing no offense but very funny. Ross Noble, Eddie Izzard, John Bishop and many others a bit of swearing yes but not offensive and still funny.

Nostalgair2. I cannot believe you mentioned Carry On films in a thread about humour. They were terrible at the time and have dated very badly.

Particularly influenced by “Little Jim”, who was always, falling in the water:D
