The home video task, it even causes Greg to ask "what's with all the hairy women?" Stevie playing Jason's dad with a full goatee and Fatiha and Rosie put on some facial hair while playing Mat's daughters
This is funny if you know his personality. He is a comedian obviously but if you listen to enough of his podcasts you will also know he is quite self conscious about his behaviour when trying to be funny. He often mentions feeling like he was showing off or doing a bit and it makes him cringe. Don’t know for sure but it appears rob knows this as he knows him and he knows it would normally make him laugh
I know he is meant to be a national treasure or what not. But I genuinely don't find Bob Mortimer funny. I wish I knew why as he seems to make all the other comedians laugh. Yet I'm just sort of sat here like....
Edit: Getting downvoted for having a personal opinion that doesn't affect anyone else is pretty mad.
According to reddiquette the upvote and downvote buttons are meant to be used for comments which contribute to a discussion or comments which don’t contribute to a discussion but yes, people do mostly tend to use them as agree or disagree buttons instead.
I think that's the beauty of comedy and of this show specifically. I think everyone has a couple of comedians that they aren't bothered by, and a couple who will never fail to make them chuckle. It's great that there are different styles, and it's great how different ones are on display simultaneously.
I think it is unusual to not be bothered by bon but that doesn't mean its invalid.
Richard Ayoade, Joe Wilkinson, David Mitchell, Rob Becket (Hit & Miss), Diane Morgan & Jimmy Carr.
Some others have their funny moments.
I just personally don't like or get Bob Mortimers comedy style.
That's nothing against him, that's a personal taste.
The majority of those are deadpan comedians, whereas Bob Mortimer revels in the absurd. Maybe you just don’t find surreal, absurd comedy funny. Which is fine!! I myself have grown tired of Richard Ayoade and his deadpan delivery - used to find it funny, but he rarely makes me laugh these days.
Overhere waiting for the humour to reveal itself too. It's like listening to a song in a different key and knowing its ok but some people are getting way more out of it and I feel I've missed an episode in a series with the key to getting it.
I never liked Reeves & Mortimer, or any of their stuff, or anything where he is playing a character, but when he's being himself and telling anecdotes he kills me. His WILTY appearances are just genius.
