Obviously.

Those two blokes who say 'It's a load of old bollocks'....

Unlucky Alf - Oh Bugger.

Acting wise Rowley Burking QC.
Otherwise.. Jesses fashion tips?

Swiss Tony.

i was terribly drunk at the time.

Antonios Gubba - mentale!

Posh bloke and his gardener. Ted and someone?

Paula Fisch

And

Jesse

Johnny nicepainter 😆

No one at work dares say black.

Rowley Birkin QC, obviously.

And then there's this poor, troubled soul:

Bob Flemming

Rowley Birkin...

Pure genius

Suits you! oh 😆

"Hold the bells" " sorry mate someone's sat there" Billy Bleach !!!
Kenneth and Ken , quality show!!!

You aint seen me ... roit?

And of course Johnny nice painter! I always try and get "drainage in the lower field" into general conversation too 🙂

Probably easier to say that my least favourite was Tommy Cockles.

Jazz Man, Nice

A fave sketch

Monkfish for me

Rowley Birkin - The whole show was excellent though.

No offence woman

Dave Angel - Eco Warrior. 'triffic!

i was watching the first seried on DVD the other night. utterly fantastic.

Rowley Birkin QC is probably the greatest character in my opinion. I don't know how to do the fancy video thing, but the scen where he gets very serious and it's incredibly poignant, is truly, truly brilliant. Out of all of them, Paul Whitehouse stands out as a true genius.

Fast Show's brilliant!

lance sining who's that girl and launching into the barber of seville

😆

You know.. Choosing a favourite Fast Show character is very much like making love to a beautiful woman...

Swiss Tony was ace
Bob (coughing guy) the one outside the badgers set was superb
"This week I have been mostly eating POP TARTS" think it was Jed's diet.
"Ooh does you wife love it sir, does she, hmmm. Suits you"
"Hello Mrs Patterson"
Liked Dave Angle aswell.. Carried away like a moonlight shadow.

Ali could go on but I won't, I love that show. It was BRILLIANT! Like the Romans.

Oh and Tim nice but dim.

Some folks are getting their 90s sketch shows mixed up.

So to continue that trend. Does anyone remember this?

The Dad with the kids running through the shopping centre or some place just shouting c'mon! c'mon! c'mon!

.....or MONKFISH!

Monkfish for me too.

Although I also agree with a lot of what's been said by others.

SHIRLEY! SHIRLEY! For gods sake, you can't burn tyres there! This is a National Park!

How had Monkfish passed me by? Genius!

It's gripped ,it's sorted lets off road! Simon and Lindsey cracked me up.
The paint balling sketch here;

But the lost rambler is one that also stands out.

Genuinely funny people being naturally funny - a dying art in this country in recent years.

I reckon you'd pi55 yourself if any of those characters stumbled into your local. Not so if the likes of Miranda trundled in (she really should f€$k off and take her bullsh1t slapstick non-comedy with her).

Weird I cant seem to find the character who agreed with everyone in the pub and then when cross examined would fold.

Ha ha, I was watching Big Train's staring competition just yesterday.

That Ted and Ralph drinking game sketch is a corker. It was watching that sketch last night which made me start the thread.

I went and saw the fast show live, a little dubious as to whether the show would work in a live setting, but it was even better. Loads of profanity, one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Better even than Billy Connolly, and I was at the 'ken bigley' gig at the hammersmith apollo...

No wait.... Indecisive Dave.

^^^^ Ha ha quality , I even like Paul Whitehouse in the Aviva ads. 😀

NSFW but this sketch which wasn't shown originally but was shown on later compilations always cracks me up

The bob fleming sketch were he thinks he is off camera and is talking about presenting his ladyfriend with a piece of temporary neck jewellery 😀 ,then goes into "ello Bob Fleming ere " genius

Monkfish superb

birky; thanks. Love that sketch. Stands out for me as a moment that defines Whitehouse's brilliance.

Whitehouse has an amazing ability to observe people, and develop fabulous characters all with their own unique foibles. Utterly believable, almost 'real' people. Characters with their own unique catchphrases like Ron Manager; 'jumpers for goalposts', a phrase now deeply entrenched in our culture.

He's even managed to make insurance adverts funny. Far, far better than that stupid annoying toy dog.

Republicca Presente...

That's amazing for me

And Johnny Nice Painter. And Channel 9.

Off topic big train sketch were "the artist symbol prince etc" is in the Serengeti stalking jockeys ....genius

I'd forgotten how many FS characters there were and have just bought the DVD boxset off the back of this thread - can't wait for it to arrive 😀

Everyone round to stormtrooper's house to watch it!

'That's Amazing' with Carl Hooper.
(As posted above.........)

And I was just rummaging around in the attic... and I found an original copy of the Holy Bible....... which was nice.

😀 😀

This week I have mainly been eating.........

Black.....all black.....Father! They feed me pins!

Definitely the directions guy

MW You wanna watch where you're steppin' round 'ere, boy. You might fall down 'ole. Where would you be, if you fell down 'ole?

PW Well, yeah, yeah-

MW WHAT ABOUT THE FOG? STUCK IN A HOLE? IN THE FOG? STUCK IN A HOLE? IN THE FOG? IN THE MIDDLE O' THE NIGHT? WITH AN OWL! UP A TREE!

MW STUCK IN 'OLE! IN THE MIDDLE O' THE NIGHT! STUCK DOWN 'OLE! WITH AN OWL! ON YER OWN! BEYOND WALL! (LOVELY OLD WALL!)

MW STUCK DOWN 'OLE! WITH AN OWL! IN THE MIDDLE O' THE NIGHT! IT COULD 'APPEN! STUCK DOWN 'OLE! IN THE MIDDLE O' THE NIGHT! WITH - AN - OWL!

Rowley Birkin, if only because it all builds to the incredible pathos of the last sketch.

Republica Presente, for accurate representation.

Indecisive Dave and Colin Hunt for being so true to life. And then Colin Hunt again for stopping you quoting it too much...

Just remembered the deaf stuntman...

Director: Chip? Take five - we need to reset the wire.
Chip: Set meself on fire? Alright.

Anybody here used to enjoy "Help"?

I thought that was excellent

I'm off to Spain this week to meet a new client...think I'll watch old episodes of The Fast Show to acclimatise.

Efffefefffeffeffffefff.....Sminky Pinky Lipostic.

That's all you need.

These are my two favourites:

Snakes! Snakes!

Agree with that (although CAIRO - MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!) cracks me up every time

/p>

Great acting and I think shows how much Whitehouse enjoyed that character.

The old gits were one of my fave's 😀

was that the fast show?

hmm, maybe it was the Mary Whitehouse experience then 😕

John comes into our place every now and then to do voiceovers. Very nice bloke.
