Favourite fast show characters?

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…

Indecisive Gordon.

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!

And, I don’t think I shall never get the hang of this….

And er this one…

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

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.
