not as funny as when Stewart Lee said he wished Richard Hammond was dead

very good

Actually that gets better, Stewart Lee goes on to wish all 3 of Clarkson's daughters go blind, and it was genuinely hilarious.

By:
The Top Gear stuff was merely light hearted comedy.
Routine tongue in cheek humour. While Coogan's article in the guardian article was written in retaliation to that. It was personal, insulting and written with malicious intent to cause offence. And it's Coogan who comes out of it as the bad guy here. |

Lol crippen.

Coogan has gone a bit mental in the last few years.

This article is 3 years old btw.

I think Coogan like most of us are sick of the **** pumped out at us 24 hours a day. The bbc think they are supplying gold - i'm tired of moyles, cordon, brucie, ross, evans and all the other vapid twigglets that give us their opinions on stuff i have no interest in. Even Steve coogan has not been entertaining in years.

WHAT THEY SAID
The comments came during a discussion about a Mexican-built sports car: Hammond (left): …Cars reflect national characteristics, don't they, so German cars are very well built and ruthlessly efficient, Italian cars are a bit flamboyant and quick, a Mexican car's just going to be lazy, feckless, flatulent, overweight... (laughter) leaning against a fence asleep, looking at a cactus, with a blanket with a hole in the middle as a coat. May: It is interesting, isn't it, because they can't do food, the Mexicans, can they? Because it's all like sick with cheese on it, I mean... (laughter) Hammond: Refried sick! May: Yeah, refried sick. Hammond: I'm sorry, but just imagine waking up and remembering you're Mexican: 'awww, no'. (laughter) Clarkson: No, it'd be brilliant… because you could just go straight back to sleep again. tbf, Coogan is bang on the money the above transcript is truly pathetic. Not even based on anything, it is just being insulting to a group of people for no apparent reason. Anyone who laughed at that is like those kids that hang around the school bully laughing as the bully beats up a wee kid. |

cheers rob, that stewart lee video is brilliant
|
|
By:
If I ever get 2 free tickets to see Stewart Lee, rob, I'll let you know.
I promise; you can have both of them. |
|
By:
SF. An acquired taste, but I like him. |
|
By:
Stewart Lee is funny as phook, not all the time but when he is funny, he's really funny.
I still giggle when I think of him saying the only difference between the politician rats is the david cameron rat wears chinos |

Yet wishing someone's three daughters go blind is viewed as regular comedy? Marvellous stuff from rob. |
|
By:
rob thinks Trainspotting is the best film ever.
 |
|
By:
He wasn't wishing someone's three daughters go blind he was using an exaggerated form of the rhetoric and the implied values of top gear to satirise the rhetoric and the implied values of top gear.
|
|
By:
I didn't know Stewart Lee was a comic.
|
|
By:
So when he wished them blind what was he really saying? I'm confused.
|
|
By:
Oh sorry rob, I must have misunderstood this:
Stewart Lee goes on to wish all 3 of Clarkson's daughters go blind, and it was genuinely hilarious. My mistake, I can see where I went wrong now - lol. |
|
By:
Have you even watched the clip?
|
|
By:
If not you're like one of those outraged politicians who give quotes to the daily mail regards some obscene film/tv programme/art installation/book/song whatever without ever even seeing/watching/listening to the film/tv programme/art installation/book/song.

Steve Coogan and Stewart Lee very clever and funny men. Obviously cerebral humour is beyond you. Stick to Chubby Brown imo. |
|
By:
So when he wished them blind what was he really saying?
nothing - it was JUST A JOKE, like on top gear |
|
By:
It's just a joke, like what they do on Top Gear
|
|
By:
Absolutely Mister Badger.

|
By:
I haven't seen the clip rob, but I can understand now that you've told me that he didn't really wish that Clarkson's daughters go blind.
He was merely using that as an extreme example, to highlight the kind of humour that Clarkson uses. |
|
By:
Well he specifically says that is what he was doing, in fact I've just copied what he said adverbatim.
You don't reckon I'm smart enough to use words like rhetoric do you? Nah he was just explaining what he was doing at the end for the benefit of daily mail readers/journos. Didn't work, as the Daily Mail actually did an article asking the question he had specifically already answered for them in the show. |
|
By:
To be fair to Coogan I've never warmed to him or his humour so this may be something of a biased opinion but for someone who you would presume is quick witted and insightful I've watched open mouthed at some of his awful monologues when invited onto Question Time. I wish he wouldn't do it to himself.

I LIKE LAUREL AND HARDY

By:
I like Top Gear, Stewart Lee, and Coogan was good as Partridge and in The Trip.
I'm sure Clarkson and Co couldn't give a phook what Lee or Coogan says, and vice-versa |
|
By:
No I don't think that Clarkson and co care what was written about them either.
They know that the Guardian would have told Coogan what they wanted him to write anyway. That's if he did write it, or someone else wrote it for him and he was paid to put his name to it. I wouldn't be surprised if Coogan hasn't even read it himself. He's too busy watching Top Gear on the telly. |

Who was it who said that you won't go broke by appealing to the lowest common denominator?

Dale Winton? |

Clarkson must be gutted, he has just signed a contract for £12million with the BBC.

By:
@Facts I find you a bit of a comedian
|
|
By:
Clarkson is a very shrewd, clever and funny guy, Imo. May is OK. The Hamster is a complete waste of space, at least he takes up less space than most adults though, fair play to him for that.

Clarkson is a grade 'A' Pillock

You should know, clarkson
