another vague comedy memory- this time on shiny shiny disc

[sillymisslily]

a cd of parodies of being on hold- bad hold music and a gobby receptionist
used to find it hilarious but was either too young to know better or high or both

also who was it who said shiny shiny disc

It was definitely English and a whole CD of these things.

But cheers, that is something else

Dunno where else to shove this but:

I recall a stand-up act when I was a kid, in my memory it was Bill Hicks but having seen everything Bill Hicks has done in the intervening years I've never seen him do this bit. But it was a general "What do atheists shout in bed?" type of joke.. at which point the comic starts orgasming and going "Oh! Darwin! Oh, the evolution of man from the common primate!" type spiel. Any ideas?

Yeah thats Hicks, where hes shouting "Chemical chance! Chemical chance!". Not sure offhand what set its from though.

ETA actually that might be from a different routine about childbirth being a miracle.

Hmm, yeah, that's who it seemed to be in my head but I've watched oodles of Hicks and neve seen that bit again. Makes me wonder what in fact I saw as a kid to have seen it.. I only remember his Ch4 specials being screened and it's not on any of those?

[Famous Mortimer]

It might be on "Dangerous", which I had on cassette and played to death (as I did with all his stuff). It's definitely him, though, as I remember him doing it.
