I only became aware of this guy a few weeks ago as he was on the TV over here. That video had me in stitches.
RIP you big larrikin

What a voice

Didn't know the name but definitely know the man. The video is gold from start to finish

Whatever I just watched, that was brilliant and put a much needed smile on my face

"And you sir. Are you waiting to receive my limp penis?"

That's a line that definitely needs to be brought into common usage. For example, it would make a great substitute for banalities such as "Can I help you?".

Yep a legend. We were talking about his famous video just the other day :/

Sad to hear, I remember him well, always thought he sounded like sergeant major in terrahawks (yes 99% of you will have no idea!) :-p

Got to ask the question, what was he arrested for?

Mistaken identity if I remember rightly, a great clip that always made me chuckle, RIP.

Eating a meal. A succulent Chinese meal.

One version of events is that on this occasion his arrest was actually a case of mistaken identity. Allegedly the restaurant thought he was someone else who went around eating meals then running off without paying.

Yep, RIP. The vocabulary, the range of emotion, the wild swings between faux posh Brit and top bogan accent, the delivery ... just impeccable.

Slightly longer version of the video. I am sure I first saw this on Clive James on Television, because of course it was. :cry:

Oh Ed not again. · 8 Aug 2024 at 22:22

That man had an ability to drag words and phrases into a vernacular I could only hope to possess.

A strong Matt Berry in What We Do in the Shadows vibe.

Matt Berry would have been 17 years old when this happened so I wonder who had an impact on who but yes, very strong theatrics
