Athletico Mince

Soon..

[bgmnts]

Wasn't that into the Christmas ep just released but the Beardsley stuff was fucking quality.

[DrGreggles]

the Beardsley stuff was fucking quality.

Was listening in Morrisons and burst out laughing at "Christmas can fuck off back to Israel!"

Shouldn't listen to this in public.

[Jittlebags]

PB is fucking great. Bob can struggle for voices where multiple characters are involved, but Beardsley fits him like a glove. 

[non capisco]

Yeah, not vintage Mince (they should probably knock Roy Hodgson on the head now but suspect they won't) but Beardsley was as sublime as ever.

[Travis B]

Great episode, specially their chat about the Netflix Sunderland doc. It was great to hear them talk about a tv programme that affects one of them as a fan of the club, and to have a tiny break from the characters and the piss taking (as fantastic as that is).

With you on the Hodgson bit, not Bob's strongest.

Came in to say the same thing. Beardsley was brilliant this week.

[Captain Crunch]

My guess is that's the Union Jack Club.

I see the chicken dippas but where is the blue drink?

Andy quaffed that as soon as he set eyes on it, hence his sweat-on.

His interestingly spherical bonce has the sheen of a cheap sausage that has been left in a humid car for a day.

I also assumed it was Bob first time I heard it, but it's Andy, no? My favourite Andy character by a long shot.

Yeah, because it's scripted by Bob.

[magval]

Says who?

[DrGreggles]

Andy's not allowed any credit on this thread, so all the funny stuff has to be Bob's.

They're both clearly reading off a script for those pieces, and Bob introduces and leads the conversations. Andy always seems slightly surprised when Roy is "sighted" outside. It's not a massive stretch to connect the dots and suggest Bob is the one scripting it, although maybe it's a massive double-bluff and actually Andy is writing it all. I don't think it is though.

Andy gets all the credit he deserves in these threads, which isn't much. I defended him earlier in the thread though as a lot of the stick he gets seems unwarranted.

[kilgore]

Surprisingly I laughed hardest at Andy's bits on this one; Woy and Joe Swash.

[Old Nehamkin]

Nah, I reckon the Hodgson stuff comes from Andy. I can't really recognise Bob's voice in it and I suspect he's got enough on his plate with all his own characters without also writing segments wholesale for Andy. Could be wrong though!

[bgmnts]

Yeah I never thought otherwise; Hodgson is Andy's work. It doesn't have the depth of Bob's stuff.

[godber]

Andy always seems slightly surprised when Roy is "sighted" outside.

Surely he's feigning surprise, thought that was all the more proof it's his creation and he's acting like it ain't no thing.

[the]

Can we hurry up and deduce who wrote which exact word, so that I can fortify my pointless squeamishness over one contributor being more comedically favourable than the other

[godber]

Not just the words, all that corpsing and giggling is clearly scripted, but by whom?!

[Ferris]

Not just the words, all that corpsing and giggling is clearly scripted, but by whom?!

The unmentioned third-party who writes and scripts all of it. The fact that people sound genuinely surprised or corpsing is only part of the feigning on behalf of the other 2, and thus only further proves my theory.

[Replies From View]

My guess is that's the Union Jack Club.

I always assumed Andy was only in his early 20s for some reason.

[SteveDave]

I always imagined he was bearded. And that he looked more like James Whale.

[Twed]

And less like a peg

[East of Eden]

Andy sings one of his brilliant parody songs to the tune of an old pop song, adding the lyrics "I feel nothing", does anyone know what that pop song was?

[the]

The King of Rock 'n' Roll by Prefab Sprout.

Great stuff. That is the song.

Heads up for Number 73, the episode not the show.
