Happy 60th Birthday Bob Mortimer!

[The Culture Bunker]

Coincidentally watching his appearance with a surprisingly giggly Karen Brady on Fantasy League. Jealous that his first ever football game was the great North Korea against Italy at Ayresome Park in 66.

I seem to remember him saying at one point "shut yer legs, Karen", which was obviously the apex of comedy to 14 year old me.

You are correct sir, I meant  "Whelk Location Unit" I think.

Bob nails Rick

He's just the greatest. I often see him out and about in real life, and pride myself on the fact I've resisted annoying him haha. Thus far, anyway.

[Ballad of Ballard Berkley]

His interview with Jon Ronson (On... Undeserved Rewards) was hilarious and shocking. He told an anecdote about his time as a solicitor that genuinely startled me, though be warned it might be enough to put some people off him.

I don't want to ruin the story for anyone who hasn't heard it, but why would it put people off him? It's a man openly admitting that his job as a solicitor often put him in a morally questionable position. The fact that he wrestled with his conscience shows him in a good light.

There's so much of Bob's stuff that rolls into my head out of nowhere. His first ever South Africa story on Mince was hysterical. I was thinking about it yesterday and had to dig it out for a re-listen. The bloke getting out of the car and pointing the gun at him-

"Mate, I'm fucking insane. I'm a fucking rapist."

What episode's that in?

[Stoneage Dinosaurs]

My favourite South Africa story is the one where Bob has to abandon it half-way through cause he can't remember how to do the accent.
"Which is your accommodation? I'm going to rob the shit out of it."

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Not to detract from Barker in anyway,

FUCKING SLAGGING BARKER ARE YA

BARKER


BAAARRRRRRKKEEER??!!!!!

My favourite is the Chinese guy who puts his finger in the gun and gets shot


"Geng bengers you got to ruv them"

[bgmnts]

"Vic, Vic, can you smell onions?"
"No"
"What, even really close up?"

He seems particularly proud of Catterick, which I think is one of the weakest things he's done, but hey-ho.

Really? Catterick is one of the funniest things they've done.

makes meks me proud to be a teessider.

Bob is a never-ending well of hilarity.
