Discovered Dead Man Weds is on youtube so am working my way through it when I'm bored.

Discovered Dead Man Weds is on youtube so am working my way through it when I'm bored.

Haven't seen it since its original run, but I recall it being vastly superior to Max and Paddy.
And a bit nuts.

Was RTN the first place Brendan Carroll was seen on Great British TV?

I'll probably get a lot of stick for this, but I think he's genuinely quite good in some of that show.  I'm not saying the whole thing is brilliant (and the continuing thing of Keith Lemon being a real person is still really weird), but it has some nice moments which, I think, are genuinely funny, keenly observed and show a lot of reverence for the material.  Plus he (Paddy) is never worried about looking the tit.

He's alright on the new Top Gear too.

[Voltan (Man of Steel)]

Some of his best work in years has been with strongman Eddie Hall on YouTube recently. It's not very funny but that's hardly a surprise.

I can remember:

• Paddy answering an advert for a bloke to star in porn, only for it to turn out to be gay porn with a load of big buff black men, because adverts looking for blokes to star in porn never, ever specify the sexual orientation of the bloke they're looking for. Afterwards, he hears Brown Girl in the Ring on the radio and turns it off.
• A pub being called the Dutchie to set up a 'past the Dutchie on the left hand side' joke when someone's giving directions. Doesn't work as well when you have to have the character say 'The Dutchie pub' to make sure we're all aware that it's a pub they're talking about.
• A bloke whose wife made him have a vasectomy singing The First Cut Is The Deepest angrily at karaoke.
• The Phoenix Club getting raided in what was clearly an excuse to have lookalikes of Dave Spikey and Neil Fitzmaurice shitted up.
• A Cliff Richard lookalike/soundalike in prison.
• The realisation, as a naive teenager, that just because you liked somebody's previous work that didn't mean you'd like everything they did, and that sometimes they would nosedive into utter, utter shit.

Edit: and shit, I've just realised that it was Reece Shearsmith as the man who'd had the vasectomy. It just gets bleaker and bleaker.

You've remembered way more than I can. Pretty sure I watched all the episodes and all I can remember is....

An episode where Max falls for a woman with dwarfism and gets wildly mocked by his mates (Does she go up on you? etc.)

and

an episode where (I think) Noddy Holder played a dodgy mechanic.

[Carpool Dragon]

Also the reveal that Max's last name is Bygraves, a joke that goes over my head to this day.

[Phoenix Lazarus]

I've heard their in jail over arrears of local taxation.

this is the definition of ephemera in the form of a TV show but theres one amazing funny bit in the outtakes where they're sat in prison and Paddy is trying to say that the second he gets in the shower he's fucked or somthing, but he gets disracted and says, instead of say WHEN PADDY GETS IN THOSE SHOWERS he says

WHEN PADDY GETS IN THOSE CHRISTMAS SHOWERS
