Stewart Lee - Content Provider

I don't think it is. In serious interviews with him, that's not how he comes across at all.

I refer you to my initial post:

But I still can't tell if he's parodying smug, private school and Oxbridge, Islington liberals looking down on the masses, or if he is one. It very much feels like the latter. If it's a loathsome character he's portraying, it's too believeable.

Can anyone explain what pleasure you get from hearing him repeating something over and over for twenty minutes?

Good point.

I'd simply answer that he doesn't literally do that.

 

[Favelado]

Are Danny's lack of powers of perception Stewart's fault?

 

[Favelado]

He's good here talking about the "liberal elite".

No.

That’s ok though.

Didn't you already mention that?

These aren't my favourite parts of his routine. But to take for example the one where he goes on about crisp flavours. It's the pause between each one. You know he's going to just say another flavour but there's something funny in the tension, second guessing what he's thinking and the collapse into the predictable dull and bathetic, whilst wondering how long he's going to keep this going.

 

[isvicthere?]

I really like Stewart Lee. I like his Brechtian style.

 

[xenon]

or put another way:

No.

That’s ok though.

It's the pause between each one.

Ideally he wants us to imagine the sort of joke he would do and laugh at that instead. It'd save him having to write stuff.

Good to see that Stewart Lee is causing debate
People having differing opinions about artists work is never a bad thing is it?

Well, this has been repeated over and over for 20 minutes now, and look: it's still turned itself into a perfectly good punchline.

"My expectations were confounded and from thence the humour arose."

Same trigger as the Ted Chippington thing. (long pause) "A lot of people say to me, get out of my garden."

Or the scene in Monty Python Life of Brian, after the you as the camera PoV has followed an insistent Alfons intent on delivering you the meaning of life, follows him back to where he was born and he delivers such a banal philosophical observation that the camera starts backing away just as your brain goes, pffft, you fucking what.

What is a spiraliser.

"Is that Joe Pasquale? In the garden? What could he possibly want?"

The bastard !

That's the opposite of what I wanted.

So it's just as well I was being all ironic and meta and everything I said was the opposite of what I meant. Because I'm always in character.

I genuinely didn't understand a word of that

confounded expectations

5 series of this weve had now. My expectations aren't confounded they're confirmed over and over. It's like laughing at a dripping tap if you're in solitary confinement for a life sentence.

But isn't that the most ironic thing of all?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Michael Redmond, surely?

This is one of his tweets:

Saw Joe Pasquale in my garden today.
I said, " Hey you, what are you doing in my garden?"
He said " Just looking for some new material.

certainly a lot better than the rest of the BBC`s content.

• Jeremy Paxman's Pacman

Jeremy Paxman goes round the country on a moped playing the early arcade game Pac-Man. He is not allowed to leave any town until he has clocked up the highest score for that machine.
