Vic and Bob-new series of Big Night Out

[the science eel]

Yes, the "South African Yarpie" absolutely killed me. 

That was the highlight for me. Made up for the missing Novelty Island.

And I'm growing fond of that closing song. It's actually really sweet.

[Twed]

Was really underwhelmed by this, thought "snipers dream AGAIN?" and then realised I was watching the pilot.

Watching the actual episodes and yep, they're great! Really feels like they hit a natural groove.

[sick as a pike]

Re where Bob goes for a kip after finishing work:

Great, I was worried it might have been Homebase or Wickes.

NO! NO NO NO!
It is actually "the car park of the local Odeon, near the gym."

[Sexton Brackets Drugbust]

I was defending their revisiting ideas last week, but crikey, there was a lot of repurposed material in that un!

The gooseberry and fireball segments were stellar, mind - glad to see Mr Onions' facial rash had cleared up.

[Alberon]

What everyone said about the second episode, basically.

Mrs Alberon looked up from her magazine during the gooseberry bit, looked at me cracking up on the sofa and said "Is this supposed to be funny?"

[DrGreggles]

I think the reveal of this is the hardest I've laughed at anything all year.

[Norton Canes]

God yes.

Caught up with these last night, didn't even realise the series had started. Laughed practically non-stop through both episodes, particularly the second one, with that shoulder-shaking quiet laugh that just seizes you uncontrollably. I hadn't seen any of the material before so it was all gloriously new to me. Has there ever been a comedy double act with such incredible synchronicity? 

[Beagle 2]

Torvill and Dean?

I think my favourite bit was the booing of Bob's anniversary of his heart bypass. I was expecting silence, so the heavy booing set me off.

Yeah that and Bob's crestfallen face plus the fella shouting "ARSEHOLE" really set me laughing.

[:(]

Lots of good stuff. Am thoroughly enjoying so far.

[Replies From View]

I'm enjoying these too.  They feel very fresh.

[SteveDave]

They used a couple of Tim Vine's jokes at the start of the second episode.

Or Peter Beardsley's...

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

Has Bob had veneers put on his teeth? They look very white.

This might answer your question, from 'Would I Lie To You?':  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgI3Y7gxMO4

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

Ah. He must have got hold of some hydrogen peroxide. Same place he gets the Fuji stuff from probably.

Who is George Ezra, and why was he singing a David Brent song?

[DrGreggles]

Who is George Ezra

My thoughts exactly.
I mean, Sting may well be a cunt, but at least I've heard of him!

[St_Eddie]

Haha!  I thought the exact same thing!

The David Attenborough camera men were the highlight of the series so far for me. Bob's placement alone was hilarious and then his expression... I couldn't hear what Vic was saying for the sound of my own laughter

"OH YEAH!"

Fucking loved that. Had to watch it back again immediately because I couldn't hear Vic either.

[Swoz_MK]

In the freerunners sketch what was Vic's line about not changing his bedsheets? Fuck me it made my head hurt from laughing.

Does this reviewer understand that Big Night Out is "what made them famous" and that this is a return?

[DrGreggles]

It's not really a return to BNO though. It's more of a celebration, as per the tour shows a couple of years back.

[Sexton Brackets Drugbust]

They also don't seem to know which one's which.

Pretty clear that the writer thinks that the only thing that Vic and Bob have done previous to this new series of Big Night Out is Shooting Stars.  It's downright shameful to have absolutely no knowledge about their critically acclaimed revival of Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased)!

[Shit Good Nose]

"OH YEAH!"

Interesting that Bob's used that Andyism a couple of times in this series.

[Old Gold Tooth]

Pretty sure that originated with Bob. And then Andy added his spin by repeating it and doing it a bit too much.
