Anyone who has ever communted or even travelled as a tourist on the London Underground (the Tube) will relate to this. I like the idea of someone reading the Metro out to the carriage. Michael McIntyre keeps the standard of stand up comedy so high. What a legend.
Fantastic set about mixing your drinks on a night out. A very sound philosophy involving treating your stomach like a party. Jim Breuer is a very funny man, but his Scottish accent is slightly dodgy. Anyone who has ever had a queasy tummy after a night of drinking will relate to this. Enjoy.
A newscaster can't stop laughing when commenting on Paris fashion week, where a model has fallen over. This is basic, banana skin humour at it's finest.
The lads from the Australian show CNNNN (the same guys that do the Chaser's War on Everything) ask the question 'Which parts of the Bible should we still follow?' The book of Leviticus comes under some scrutiny.
The Chaser interviews American's on various issues to do with the recent Gulf War. Bear in mind, this was filmed around the penultimate year of Bush's presidency - interesting to see the confusion regarding Barack Obama! Note to Americans: I'm not having a go at you. This show is aimed at an Australian audience and they constantly take the micky out of their own people too.
The wonderful music video from Comic Relief 2005, featuring Peter Kay miming the '70's classic 'Is this the Way to Amarillo?' by Tony Christie, presented on the night by Jonathan Ross. Who would've thought it'd be such a sensation? It cheered everyone up and raised a massive amount for this fabulous charity, that helps those in need in Africa, and in the UK. The video highlights include Ronnie Corbett falling off the treadmill, Shakin' Stevens first major TV appearance since the 1980's and Peter marching down an alley from Corination street with a group of dwarves.

A bird who, through natural behaviour, impersonates Michael Jackson's famous moonwalk. The QI (Quite Interesting) audience finds it hillarious, as do panelists Alan Davies, Bill Bailey, Sean Lock and Rich Hall. Stephen Fry struggles to keep order as usual.
This dog Maggie shows a will of steel when it comes to food that many of us would love to have! Maggie also has a talent for basic maths. I love her little dainty paw counting out the answers!
Canadian musician Dave Carroll had his guitar broken by United Airlines and wrote this song about the incident. It's been a youtube sensation and the bad publicity even helped to send United’s share price into a temporary decline. Even better, it's got a really catchy tune and Dave has promised to write two more songs about the subject. I'm assuming his travel insurance didn't cover it! For more information go to Dave Carroll's website
Stanley Baxter teaches Glaswegian in the style of a language school. Parliamo Glasgow is one of the most famous sketches in scottish comedy history. Enjoy.
This is my favourite Chewin the Fat character, played brilliantly by Karen Dunbar. Here she explains the finer points of reproduction to her mischievous class.
Inspector Fowler (Rowan Atkinson) is shocked to discover Constable Habib's (Mina Anwar) attitude towards his beloved Biggles stories. A classic from the Thin Blue Line.
Moss (Richard Ayoade) and Roy (Chris O'Dowd) suceed in convincing head of IT Jen (Katherine Parkinson) that a small grey box is, in fact, the internet. Joy from Channel 4's The IT Crowd.
NSFW. I put this one on Saturday, as you may not want to play this at work. Something for the weekend sir? When the Japanese advertise chocolate, subtlety is their byword. Altogether now : ' Choco, Party, Good, Good!' Ok, maybe this advert isn't just aimed at men. It's probably aimed at lesbians too.
This is a clip from popular children's Stuarday morning show Going Live, that ran during the late 80's and early '90's. Here, the resident puppet Gorder the Gopher is attacked by a dog during a pet care phone in.
For those not familiar with Emo, it's the phenomenon of teenagers who self harm for attention (rather than through any illness like depression) and listen to music like this. Oh the angst! A perfect parody. My favourite Emo joke: Q.Whats great about an Emo pizza (or Emo grass) A. It cuts itself.
Dara O'Briain is such a likeable comedian, that he can tackle any subject at all and you still want to take him for a pint or cuddle him or just shake his hand after he's done a routine. Here, he chats about the differences between Catholics and Protestants, on 'Live at the Apollo'.
The Chaser's chief bogus enforcement officer tries to fine those who have given their children awful names. They've gone to one of Sydney's dodgiest areas and come up with some crackers. Check out the classy chicks at the end. Also, for those not familiar with Australian slang, bogan means chav.
Fantastically funny moment form the Ellen Degeneres Show, where she calls an elderly viewer who has rung in with a few suggestions for the show. Ellen's natural charm and the fabulous comments form her 88 year old viewer make this one of the most hillarious clips I've seen in a long time. Watch it!
Welsh comedian Rhod Gilbert plays on the Edinburgh leg of Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow.The Edinburgh Open Top Bus Tour and Ryanir come in for a bit of a ribbing.
The recent passing of Michael Jackson got me thinking about his early career with the Jackson Five and my favourite song of theirs, Rockin' Robin. Here's a fitting tribute from the Muppets.
Bill Bailey shows what he thinks of the bland lyrics of modern songs. I really hate predictive text, do you?
Bill Bailey text song lyrics: I texted you on a monday But you did not get my text till Tuesday Because of a network problem
I texted you on a Wednesday But did not know that you'd called Because your SIM Card was not correctly Installed
Oh,no no no
You texted me on a Thursday To say that you would meet me at the Shopping Centre And i texted you back and said "Where should i meet you?" And you said Dixons But i did not know which Dixons you meant Was it the one inside the door Or was it the one further up by Currys ...These are my worries
You texted me on a Monday To tell me it was over But i did not understand Because you used Predictive Text
Ryan Styles, Greg Proops and Paul Merton act out a scene in the UK version of the improvisational show, showing you how to change a baby's nappy - badly.
Strangely touching version of the Irish classic, featuring the Swedish Chef, Animal and Beaker (who manages to reach those high notes.) Anyone who's ever sung this while horribly drunk will relate to this clip.
The highly talented impressionist Jon Culshaw attemptes to buy a used car - disguised as Obi Wan Kenobi. The salesman copes incredibly well, only backing off when Darth Vader shows up.
Alan Davies ruminates about British Airways pilots and what they might be up to while making the announcements. I suppose I relate to the 'special meal' routine as it's happened to me more than once.
Karen Dunbar does what I'm sure many of us would like to do in her situation i.e.give bad parents a good telling off. Oh, and for those of you not from Scotland, wean means child.
Comedy song from the surreal Canadian comedy show. Those high waisted early '90's jeans make the clip even funnier. I know a fair few Daves. Maybe you should ask yourself this question: How many Daves do you know?
Stuart Hall from UK 1970's game show 'It's a Knockout' commentates on the European version of the show 'Jeux Sans Frontieres'. Well, I say commentates, he just laughs all the way through, which is what he always did! Cheer on British contestant Doug in this classic clip.
Kryten tries to be helpful by fixing the toaster only to discover that it's the most annoying machine in the universe. Lister can't take it in this classic early episode clip of Red Dwarf!
General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett (Stephen Fry) describes the special relationship he had with his pigeon to Captain Kevin Darling (Tim McInnery)
I'm sure we've all known a Tracy and Nicola at some point in our lives, even it was just passing them by on a Saturday night outside the pub. It certainly reminds me of nights out when I was a studnet!
Apparantly, Victoria has had trouble getting laughs with one of the lines in this one ever since Margaret Thatcher was ousted as Prime Minister. I still think it's a classic.
The song with which she'd always finish her live shows. A work of art.
also known as Victoria Wood - The Ballad of Barry and Freda.
Lyrics: Freda and Barry sat one night, The sky was clear, the stars were bright, The wind was soft, the moon was up, Freda drained her cocoa cup.
She licked her lips, she felt sublime, She switched off Gardeners' Question Time. Barry cringed in fear and dread As Freda grabbed his tie and said….
Let's do it,Let's do it, Do it while the mood is right I'm feeling, appealing, I've really got an appetite. I'm on fire, with desire, I could handle half the tenors in a male voice choir. Let's do it, let's do it, tonight.
But he said: I can't do it,I can't do it, I don't believe in too much sex This fashion, for passion, Turns us into nervous wrecks No derision, my decision, I'd rather watch the Spinners on the television. I can't do it, I can't do it, tonight.
So she said: Let's do it, Let's do it, Do it till our hearts go boom Go native, creative, Living in the living room This folly, is jolly, Bend me over backwards on me hostess trolley. Let's do it, let's do it, tonight.
But he said: I can't do it, I can't do it, Me ‘eavy breathing days’ve gone I'm older, feel colder, It's other things that turn me on, I'm imploring, i'm boring, Let me read this catalogue on vinyl flooring. I can't do it, I can't do it, tonight.
So she said: Let's do it, Let's do it, Have a crazy night of love. I'll strip bare, I'll just wear, Stilettos and an oven glove. Don't starve a, girl of a palava, Dangle from the wardrobe in yer balaclava. Let's do it, let's do it, tonight.
But he said: I can't do it, I can't do it, I know I'd only get it wrong. Don't angle, for me to dangle, Me arms have never been that strong. Stop pouting, stop shouting, You know I pulled a muscle when I did that grouting. I can't do it, I can't do it, tonight.
Let's do it, let's do it, Share a night of wild romance, Frenetic, poetic, This could be your last big chance, To quote Milton, to eat stilton, To roll in gay abandon on the tufted Wilton. Let's do it, let's do it, tonight.
I can't do it, I can't do it, I've got other little jobs on hand, Don't grouse, around the house, I've got a busy evening planned. Stop nagging, I'm flagging, You know as well as I do that the pipes want lagging. Can't do it, can't do it, tonight.
Let's do it, let's do it, While I'm really in the mood Three cheers, it's years, Since I caught you even semi-nude Get drastic, gymnastic, Wear your baggy Y-fronts with the loose elastic, but let's do it, let's do it, tonight.
I can't do it, I can't do it, I must refuse to get undressed. I feel silly, it's too chilly, To go without me thermal vest Don't choose me, don't use me, Me mother sent a note to say you must excuse me I can't do it,I can't do it, tonight.
Let's do it, let's do it, I feel I absolutely must, I won't exempt you, want to tempt you, Want to drive you mad with lust No cautions, just contortions, Smear an avocado on my lower portions Let's do it, let's do it tonight.
I can't do it, I can't do it, Its really not my cup of tea, I'm harassed, embarrassed, I wish you hadn't picked on me. No dramas, give me me pyjamas, The only girl I'm mad about is Judith Chalmers I can't do it, I can't do it, tonight.
Let's do it, let's do it, I really want to run amok Let's wiggle, lets jiggle, Let's really make the rafters rock Be mighty, be flighty, Come and melt the buttons on me flameproof nightie Let's do it, let's do it, tonight.
Let's do it, let's do it, I really want to rant and rave. Let's go, 'cos I know, Just how I want you to behave Not bleakly, not meekly, Beat me on the bottom with a Woman's Weekly Let's do it, let's do it, tonight.
Not so much funny as uplifting. It's so obvious the tremendous bond owner and dog have and how much they both love performing. Why does everyone keep assuming the dog is male though? Go sisters!
Ventriloquist with a deeply political edge. Contains material that may offend those of a religious persuasion. Incredibly funny for the rest of us though! I think the best way of coping with the abhorrent phenomenon of suicide bombers is to ridicule them.
Strange things were happening at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home when dogs were found wondering free in the night. They fitted CCTV and they found the culprit, a lurcher dog
I've recently moved to BT (british telecom) for broadband and sadly I've had to ring them a few times, they rang told me my modem would be here on the 16th, then on the 17th I got a letter saying it'd be there on the 19th... didn't arrive.
I rang the helpdesk, they had less information than I did!
After 4 hours of following their instruction manual, didn't work, then setup the way my old modem was, 10 minutes later internet! I wished I'd tried that first. I understand why people have to ring support, it maybe a ploy by BT as it's a pay per minute phone number!!!
I worked at a support desk in Australia, I got one call from a temp employee that was helping out with a giant scan and print operation.
user: "the scanner doesn't work" me: "ok can you check the screen to see if there are any errors?" user: "screen won't come on either" me: "ok can you please check the power point under the desk to see if a plug's been knocked out" user: "I can't see under the table, I'll get a torch, there's been a black out" me: "um, ok, when the power comes back on, if you have any more problems let me know"
