Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted December 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted December 17, 2017 Loved Skinner's standup. He was so vulgar, but way sharper than the laddish label he was given because he was into football. So self-deprecating and full of hate. "I dont live here in Birmingham anymore, I moved to London *BOOOOOOO* FUCK OFF* And I just rememebered why." He was the opposite to Kay, in that his stand up was quality, yet his TV was mostly shite. Fantasty Football was good early on when it was quite novel, but the show literally fell off a cliff in front of our very eyes in 98 when they couldnt control the guests and all their pre-planned gags failed due to it being live. They'd go over to a spot and the camera would be still on them and they'd go "well that gag didnt work did it?" Just a nightmare that they didnt revisit until 2004 and that was even worse. Just couldnt work in the modern era. Nobody knows who Steve Morrow is and nobody cares to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 17, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 17, 2017 He's been in some right shite, but Baddiel & Skinner Unplanned was great (apart from him singing, which I will never understand why he did that). His radio show on Saturday mornings on Absolute is always a fun listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armitage Shanks Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Baddiel and Skinner Unplanned was brilliant, showed how quick witted he was. I also thought his chat show was good, he used to take the Mick out his guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted December 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted December 17, 2017 I can't recall where he talked about this now but I remember Skinner talking once about a critic coming to him after one of his standup shows to complain about his material. Something like; Critic: I have to say I was very disappointed in the show. A lot of it was verging on the offensive. Skinner: There's only one virgin on the offensive in this room. And it isn't me. Love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree but I prefer the old format of one guest choosing what they put in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absoloute & Radio X between them have Skinner, Christian O'Connell, Moyles & Vaughan. Depending on the mood its always worth tuning into one of them stations.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted December 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted December 17, 2017 @PowerButchi Can your cousin remember when Peter Kay was good, or when room 101 had singular guests but with a sub par presenter ey?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted December 18, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted December 18, 2017 I really like Frank Skinner's George Formby OSama Bin Laden song. I'll agree with everybody about Peter Kay's acting being somewhat better than his stand up. Viz did a great report where they'd announced that Peter Kay had been allowed to reminisce about the 90s in order to freshen up his act. They also added the term "Repeater Kay" to the Profanisaurus "n. A man of low wit, who attempts to get laughs in the pub by lamely repeating comedy catchphrases, eg. “Garlic bread” etc." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted December 18, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted December 18, 2017 Frank Skinner's class. Walked the line between being an "edgy" comic while also feeling like an old-fashioned variety act at times - but, yeah, got lumped in with his "lad culture" lot, so his comedy skills weren't always all that apparent.
