Makes me want there to be some kind of ‘Home Media Census’ carried out. Bet there’s be an unusual  amount of Chubby Brown VHSs and Beautiful South CDs clogging up people’s inventories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could hear a recognisable tune from the beer tent but obviously couldn't pin it down amongst the drunken German singing and chatter until they all cheered "Alice, who the fuck is Alice" in English as loud as they could.  Change the city to Hamar in Norway and I had the same experience walking past a pub in the year 2000. But Norway was the only country which played uncensored Eminem singles on the radio that I’ve been to. Love an English swear word over there! That said, no one seemed to know who RCB was other then from this song thankfully. Edited September 10, 2021 by Hannibal Scorch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Every charity shop you'd walk in and Gash Generator were full of his VHS' so someone in Cov were buying them up. I'm pretty sure me and @MoKonjic owned few of those second hand copies when we were teenagers. I think the appeal was nothing more than the names and them being like 50p, Clitoris All-sorts still gets a chuckle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I think he was one of the first to have annual video releases. Cunts had about thirty out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from watching his "keep it clean, Bernard" stuff on TV in the 90s. No way would I have wanted to watch his uncensored stuff. There was a documentary about Bernard Manning and offence in comedy. He took part in it when he knew he was going to die, and it covered his thoughts on his legacy and mortality, including footage of himself being overlaid over his own funeral. I'm an absolute sucker for stuff like this - it's the Scrooge thing. An arsehole looks over his life and comes to terms, for better or worse, with what he's accomplished, and the nearness of death gives a greater level of self-awareness and self-assessment. Not with Manning. He just came across like more of a totally un-self-aware twat, who kept mumbling 'only jokes though, innit?'. I came out of watching this documentary detesting him even more.

westlondonmist Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I'd heard of him after seeing Fat Slag's Blue Honeymoon where Chubby Arse is doing stand up at the hotel. I later saw UFO on Sky Movies, I remember it being a bit shit but it was rude and as a kid I thought rude=brilliant. Don't know anybody who has admitted to buying one of his videos but I'm sure I know people who do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I've always seen Chubby Brown as part of a weird section of British cultural history. It's not so much a question of how good he was. I find it fascinating to look at his crowd today, as it represents a generation that simply haven't moved on. I guess when he came along in the 70's or whenever there would have been the old fellas hanging on, using the same old routines they'd used back in the day. Happens to every generation. For me, he'll always be part of that old VHS bargain bin Christmas gift era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted September 10, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 10, 2021 I remember UFO was on Sky Movies when I was at school, and this joke has stuck with me ever since. Cant remember fuck all else, but do recall this inspired bit of dialog. Chubby to his wife: "Give me 50p for the metre." Wife: "why have you never got any money on you. You're spending it on another women arent you?" Chubby: "You find me a woman I can fuck for 50 pence and you can have a divorce tomorrow."

Wasn't there also one where he went to India to see how his humour travelled over there? The first defence that anyone ever has of Manning, of course, was that he 'did a lot for charity' so therefore you can't criticise him for being a sexist, racist old cunt.
