Harry Hill isn't on TV much these days, but he was always amongst my very favourite comedians.
I once went to a show of his at The Theatre Royal here in Brighton; it was without doubt the funniest evening of my life.
This very short video comes from his TV show 'TV Burp'. A classic of the style of clips he showed.
One of my real hates, is people who don't speak clearly. Mumbling has become 'fashionable' (especially amongst actors); so here are some good examples. Enjoy!
And don't ask me what they're saying (except for the final one) because I don't have a clue.
I haven't got a clue either of course. But I love the lad's lilt in the first clip
ReplyDeleteHow can these people understand each other??? It's a mystery.
DeleteI use subtitles!
ReplyDeleteBut how could they translate it???
DeleteHarry Hill's real name is Matthew Hall. He was once a urologist at Doncaster Royal Infirmary.
ReplyDeleteYes, but I'm sure he's a better comic that medic.
DeleteI cannot abide TV shows like that with the laughter that sounds canned.
ReplyDeleteCanned laughter is horrible, but now I can't imagine his show without it.
DeleteWatch some old stuff Cro. I hate background music thats louder than the dialogue. They seem to think it makes the film more exciting!
ReplyDeleteWith most US 'comedy' shows, the canned laughter is ESSENTIAL; otherwise you really wouldn't know it was supposed to be funny.
DeleteI also need subtitles.
ReplyDeleteI think we all do!
