David Walliams - Utter nob

[stavros]

They've all been zany oxbridge stuff or based around one EXTRAORDINARY performer (from oxbridge) since big train.

Quite possibly true. Big Train was good, but before that and The League..., I'm thinking you might have to go all the way back to The Day Today for genuine quality.

Admittedly their sit-coms are usually very different in style from ours, but can anyone think why there never seem to be any sketch shows from the USA? I know they lapped up Python back in the day, and sadly Little Britain is being exported, but they don't seem to export anything sketch-based to us.

walliams was on some quiz/panel show (sorry cant remember which) a while ago and Noel Fielding and Russel Brand (i think) were just messing about and casually being about 20 times funnier than Walliams, he was livid and could barely hide his anger, he just couldnt compete, it was brilliant.

Dunno about Walliams but I knew Matt Lucas back when he was doing the Paramount Comedy stuff, he was a twat, nicking other peoples characters blatantly and trying to be 'wacky'.

Most of Little Britain is plagiarised.

No time for the cunt. His best role was the drumming baby.
And he milked that one.

 

[Stoat Boy]

I have always found 'Little Britain' just unpleasant to watch. That last one I saw had some 'gag' based around an old lady being incontinent.

How is that funny in any shape or form ?

I thought Walliams was fantastic in the Frankie Howard BBC3 thing. Probably only a charicature but he was really good.

 

[Paul Russell]

Just watching it on iPlayer. He is coming across like a bit of a know-all, and I suspect he is getting tired of the format now he's doing the more serious acting stuff...

David Walliams was OK in Attachments. That series about the web design agency.

Completely non-funny though - he should stick to straight acting and swimming.

 

[mk12]

There's only so much "oooo am I gay or aren't I" that I can take.

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

The American reviews of Little Britain have been fabulously cutting.

 

[chico enrico]

Little Britain would have looked dated in 1974

yes. It kind of makes Oscar Wilde seem like the Les Dennis Laughter (sic.) Show

woah there ol' boy, you wanna be careful admitting to knowing anyone famous on here. You'll get Iam and his bunch of fisting monkeys on your case.

Catterick

Lucas was fine in little roles on Catterick too.

'Jesus, who's the monkey?!'

'Hey, watch your mouth mate, that's me brother!'

'It's alright, I do look a little bit like a monkey.'







Not that that has fuck all to do with Matt Lucas, tbf.

 

[weltweit]

Whenever I have seen Walliams in interviews I have come away with the impression that he is just not a very nice person at all.

 

[chico enrico]

when i see 'comedy' like that, blokes in dresses, gay jokes, laboured phrases and funny voices i just always think it's the kind of thing they goes down a storm in public school boarding houses and maybe if you're not very good at sports or spunking on digestives or something you can sort of assert yourself by being a hilarious, wacky charcter so you don't get walloped with bars of soap in socks or have broomsticks shoved up your boysgate after 'lights out' and then once they leave some go on to make a career out of comedy that revolves around blokes in dresses, gay jokes, laboured phrases and funny voices.

 

[Robstarr]

Walliams has an infinitely punchable face.

 

[stavros]

I watched last week's Jonothan Ross last night on iPlayer. Both sketches they showed on that were really dire, showing no comic invention, yet Ross, who I quite like, was fawning over them almost as much as he does over Gervais. What made it doubley bad was that the previous week he had Steve Coogan on and showed no Partridge clips.

I truly don't get what makes LB so popular. There are things I don't like but I can a possible attraction to some, but LB really has no redeeming qualities. On top of not being funny, it's not even original or, as is often said, "dark" and "risky". The League Of Gentlemen has it beat so easily on both those counts.

 

[susie12]

Does anyone really like him?

Just his stalker

 

[ska invita]

In today's bizarre "celebrity"-obsessed culture, would it not be the perfect time for a Shooting Stars comeback?

will be a xmas special this year

So David Walliams is a twat again

David Walliams recorded making derogatory remarks about BGT contestants

Exclusive: Britain’s Got Talent judge made sexually explicit comments about participant, leak shows

www.theguardian.com

Wasn't he at that presidents club do some years back too?

 

[platinumsage]

Isn't everyone just waiting for him to be named in the next Operation Blah by the police?

Yep, came up on the thread about it plenty at the time: UK captains of industry have charity night where they sexually assault young female 'hostesses'

Looks like it's the final countdown on that front, if twitter is to be believed.

 

[Dystopiary]

Just seen a video of him from the Little Britain live tour in Australia from about 20 years ago, it was horrible. I knew he was bad but this is worse. Not going to post the video, proceed with caution if you watch it. Like he's "parodying" people who do predatory stuff but it's actually him being a massive creep.

I'd forgotten he was in that!

This story was the main headline on the Guardian website yesterday for a good number of hours. In essence, Walliams calls someone a cunt behind their back and is rude about someone else should not get you such attention even on a Guardian going down the pan. I wonder if yes, this is just a little bomb compared to what may be coming.

Yes, seems odd to make a fuss about something most people do whenever he leaves the room. The nasty shit he has written and performed is far worse.

 

[maomao]

In the transcript he repeats his joke about the female contestant three times. Presumably because no one laughed the first three times he said it. Slimy racist cunt.

My daughter brought one of his books home from school and I wanted to make a big fuss and tell them to stick it up their arses. But she cried about it and I had to give it up.

Haven't seen any of his kids books but know my sister was going on about them being racist/sexist and saying she was amazed they'd been published.

 

[D'wards]

Anyone remember the incident about 15 years ago, during a Little Britain live show when he got actor Jeremy Edwards on stage (he was not part of the show but just an audience member) and pulled his trousers and pants down exposing all he had to the audience.

Poor Jeremy had to laugh it off but I think its a vile thing to do - police should probably have got involved

 

[8ball]

I’ve no idea who Jeremy Edwards is, but a good kicking would have been justified there.
