Sean Lock's "Rectum of the Year" bit will never fail to make me laugh. Not only is it perfect comedic timing and story telling, poor Claudia Winkleman literally dying with laughter begging him to stop talking just makes it all the more hilarious.
@andrevilaca6469a long time ago I worked in the Strand Palace Hotel on reception. My friend and I used to eat in the dining room with the waiters all of whom were Spanish Italian and Portuguese. They were my favourite people. We used to have such a laugh. We would go out to afternoon tea and they would critique the service. It was like having lots of cousins
Yeah, thumping the table and saying please stop whilst breathless from laughter, which he has done to Claudia Winkleman with his rectum off the year. Priceless comedians adlibbing at their best.
Sadly, most Americans have no idea that this show exists. I certainly feel lucky to have been exposed to this absolute brilliance. RIP Sean. One of the funniest men to ever walk the earth, and to the entire cast, thank you for years worth of comedy gold. It does not go unappreciated! Sincerely, an American.
I discovered this show after a nice person on Reddit recommended that I watch Graham Norton. I watched nothing else for weeks, then progressed to 8 out of 10 Cats My life is better for it, in so many ways
The minute Sean hears "police officer" he gives up on holding onto his glasses. He knew there was no more fighting the laughter! What a treasure that man was...
There's not many with the ability to make Jimmy, Joe or Sean lose their shit. When in each others company on this show it happened regularly. Sean was usually the main culprit, he's greatly missed 😢
+1 to buzzcocks and taskmaster. The most recent series of Taskmaster was the best IMO and had american Jason Mantzoukas who was one of the funniest guests in history, he completely got british humour. For other great shows, QI, Would I Lie To You, Have I Got News For You (This is very topical and hard to understand unless you understand british politics through the eras), 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown (and the original 8 out of 10 cats, but the countdown version is better), Big Fat Quiz of the Year (the first few series were gold), Shooting Stars (more like a satire of panel shows) Panel shows are one of our greatest exports. American comedians can't riff together in the same way as british comedians can because they can't take the piss as much. Older stuff like Green Room and Tough Crowd as well as old Opie & Anthony shows where those guys wen't at each other for hours and hours and hours shows that America can do that style of comedy well and arguably better in my books. But good televised american comedy with comedians is so much more rare than good british comedy. We know how to riff really well and take the piss constantly. Many americans (and other english spreaking counties like sweden and norway) can find it offensive You guys excel more in written stuff, some of the funniest stuff ever came from America like It's Always Sunny, Silicon Valley, The Office (I love both versions as much), Old Simpsons was some of the best written comedy in history, Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Bojack Horseman, Community, South Park, Rick & Morty, Veep (actually based off a british show The Thick Of It and written by the same guy, Armando Ianicci who I recommend all his stuff), Parks & Reecreation, Brooklun 99, Chappelle's Show, Nathan For You, Reno 911, Good Place, Atlanta, What We Do In The Shadows, Adventure Time, Only Murders In The Building, I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, Righteous Gemstones, Eastbound and Down, Reservation Dogs. The list is endless. Of course brits have a similar level of amazing comedy, the american stuff is just as good, they just can't do off the cuff comedy. Their version of Taskmaster wsa a disaster that Alex Horne has talked about in depth of how they didnt understand it.
One would hope that he could've brought some much needed humour into it. I love Mortimer and Ayoade, and there were a few good moments, but Christ what an overrated show.
You can not write this - when Greg Davies is doing his impression and Jon says you sound like one of the compare the meerkats - got an ad 5 seconds later for compare the market
I will never fully get over the passing of Sean Locke. It's the first time in my life I've felt even the slightest twinge of sorrow over the death of a celebrity.
That's how I felt about Norm Macdonald. It's amazing how watching clips of someone that makes us laugh so often can make us genuinely crushed when they die.
@patfanrj I've felt since that time that there were quite a lot of parallels between Sean and Norm. Both had very unique comedic styles which pushed the envelope more and more as their careers went on, both were prepared to play into damn near any persona for a bit or to get a good laugh, both dabbled in TV / movies on top of their stand-up and met mixed success there, both were known as "comedian's comedians" able to break other comics, and in the end, both of them kept their deteriorating health secret right up to the last possible moment. We lost two of the world's funniest and smartest entertainers in less than a month.
@TCM_Hutchie I had no idea Sean Lock and Norm paralleled so much, including the fact that they both kept their health problems a secret. I guess both men wanted their comedy to come first no matter what and not have people pitying them.
If Joe had used his poem in LOL he would've broken at least one opponent into laughing, surely. But the challenge would have been to not laugh himself... 😂😅
This was one of my favourite shows when it had all the great comedians unfortunately with Sean passing away rest his soul the show was never quite the same afterwards but thank goodness for RUclips so we can relive all the funny moments from this
If I remember rightly I think when he was on again they got him to do it again and actually got Eubank to come on stage and surprise him!! 😂😂 that was amazing. He wanted to run away! Eubank was really good with him though and they both read a poem together. You’ll have to see if you can find it on her somewhere.
Luckily, she doesn't have a sense of humour. Watching the camera cut away from Sean to her when he's telling one of his best gags is always a treat. Totally blank.
The absolutely best comedy is when they break character or lose it and start cracking up. This is why I loved Carol Burnett's show, they always cracked each other up. It's when you see the real person, not just the comedian, come out. These were all great, but watching Sean lose it, obviously in discomfort laughing so hard, just able to say "Stop it." was the best. I'm sure Joe love's watching that clip and remembering Sean.
When Joe Wilkinson calls a joke "unnecessary" you know you really did something wrong
Or very right
This was my thought at the time as well.
@jonahthrane812 I want to believe it's actually true!
I think that’s actually a compliment hahaha
I've never seen him break character
"Do moon river you tosser"
My favourite bit 🤣
That will never not be funny!!
"He wants to be taken seriously" always gets me
🤣
Sean Lock's "Rectum of the Year" bit will never fail to make me laugh. Not only is it perfect comedic timing and story telling, poor Claudia Winkleman literally dying with laughter begging him to stop talking just makes it all the more hilarious.
Well she's not 'literally' dying with laughter though is she?
@Sreve-i1n Twat
Sean Lock on this show is probably my most favourite bit of comedy,period. Absolute genius,may he rest in peace.
Sean loved by everyone missed forever 😅
@Sreve-i1n Shhhhhhhhhhh
Watching Sean lose it at Joe's poem is almost funnier than the poem itself.
I'm Portuguese, when I moved to the UK and felt lonely in my flat after work Sean's jokes would always cheer me up
I don't know if Jimmy Carr is pissing himself more over Joe's poem or Sean's reaction 😂😂😂
@andrevilaca6469a long time ago I worked in the Strand Palace Hotel on reception. My friend and I used to eat in the dining room with the waiters all of whom were Spanish Italian and Portuguese. They were my favourite people. We used to have such a laugh. We would go out to afternoon tea and they would critique the service. It was like having lots of cousins
Sean has heard the best of jokes. For Joe to do that cemented him in comedy fame.
"Please stop"
For me Sean Lock begging Joe Wilkinson to stop and bellowing with laughter will be my alltime favourite cats moment.
Right there with you. I've watched that bit 50 times and each time I'm still crying laughing!
What I love about that clip, is that Sean is laughing so hard he almost mimics Jimmy's laugh!
Of it wasn't for Ryan being soooo damn fake
Yeah, thumping the table and saying please stop whilst breathless from laughter, which he has done to Claudia Winkleman with his rectum off the year. Priceless comedians adlibbing at their best.
The way he put his hand across his chest when he laughed always got me xx
"Good luck trying it without a spit" - the best comeback ever?
Funnier than the joke
Come on the back is what happened after the spitting funnily enough.
@lugaretzia I sure would hope so 😂
Perfect timing
"I do nice things!"
"You offer to go in dry and that's NICE?"
"The most unnecessary..." always gets a good laugh out of me
the best part was susie didn't even get the joke. She could only think of the archaic definition which basically means "junk drawer"
@timq6224 I'm one-hundred percent certain that Susie is up to speed with every colloquialism and bit of slang extant...
@RichardPierpoint-x5t2v no, she actually admitted after this, that she didn't know what a glory hole was
@timq6224she totally got the joke. She just didn’t know how to respond. And who would?
@chrismichaelgardner Responded with her Look. PMSL
"Do Moon River you tosser." Is such a great line.
You can't do moon river you tosser.
The end clip where Sean brings out Jimmy’s real laugh 😂
Sadly, most Americans have no idea that this show exists. I certainly feel lucky to have been exposed to this absolute brilliance. RIP Sean. One of the funniest men to ever walk the earth, and to the entire cast, thank you for years worth of comedy gold. It does not go unappreciated! Sincerely, an American.
Nice to see an American cousin enjoying Sean. Sean was almost as surreal as Donald Trump.
A lot of Americans do.
@geoffrasmith please dont ever disrespect Sean lock by putting him in the same sentence as trump you clown
I discovered this show after a nice person on Reddit recommended that I watch Graham Norton. I watched nothing else for weeks, then progressed to 8 out of 10 Cats
My life is better for it, in so many ways
Me and my friends discovered it maybe around the quarantine and I know a lot of people since then started the British panel shows
The 'good luck trying it without a spit' had me crying
No surprise that Sean Lock was a major part of most of these. He was one of the best! RIP Sean! ❤️
Amen
Agreed my friend 👏🏻
hilarious on QI as well
The minute Sean hears "police officer" he gives up on holding onto his glasses. He knew there was no more fighting the laughter! What a treasure that man was...
You forget how wonderful a comedian Sean was Rest In Eternal Peace you are so missed
When you make Sean Lock cry with laughter, you know you’ve succeeded as a comedian
Absolutely that
The fact that Joe couldn't get through his poem is even more funny than the poem.
The clip where Claudia almost dies of suffocation from Sean’s riffing always kills me
There's not many with the ability to make Jimmy, Joe or Sean lose their shit. When in each others company on this show it happened regularly. Sean was usually the main culprit, he's greatly missed 😢
hello police officer had me!
I was in tears the first time I watched it and he said that line.
3:59 dat laugh, uncontrolled mirth
Need more shows like this now with the same quality of comedians. British television rocks
The best are always like this, never mind the buzzcocks was class… Ruthless comedy
16 seasons of Taskmaster should keep you going for a while.
+1 to buzzcocks and taskmaster. The most recent series of Taskmaster was the best IMO and had american Jason Mantzoukas who was one of the funniest guests in history, he completely got british humour.

@SawBonesDJ I Literally Just Told You! Funny game show hosted by Jimmy Carr
Sean being ill at the time and having Claudia dieing next to him is just gold 😂❤
Where it began… 🎶 Joe saying “go on do Moon River you tosser” how British is that 😂
The most British thing ever & completely hilarious
😂😂😂
@HelloJamesBond😂😂😂
@stephenbetts4972😂😂😂
Sean heckling Gregg, while he's doing Chris Eubanks, gets me every time.
The ending... "What I've got to do is forget what he said". That's impossible Jimmy, impossible
And Miles's response of "Good luck trying it without a spit" was brilliant too.
Sean Lock’s real talent is telling a joke so funny that it made Jimmy Carr laugh like a normal person.
Only time I seen fabio smile is with the wheelie shoes
you have to see when he accidentally spills the wine on sean hahaha he's smiling so hard
@YUPPIETING I came to mention that, he's smiled twice 😂❤
Is anyone else thinking Sean Lock would have won Last one laughing hands down?
One would hope that he could've brought some much needed humour into it. I love Mortimer and Ayoade, and there were a few good moments, but Christ what an overrated show.
Joe Wilkinson and Sean Lock , I cannot breath with laughter 😂😂😂😂😂😂🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏God Bless
the timing of sean begging joe to stop and then the plot twist within the poem
holy priceless moment
These clips are such a comfort. I love some of these people so much for the laughs, and watching them laugh at each other.
You know you're funny when you can make Sean cry. R.i.p
1:11 Jimmy's real laugh exposed - also Sean pulls his real laugh out too
2:46 Claudia going "stop it...." is just priceless
I genuinely cried with laughter watching this. absolutely brilliant.
You can not write this - when Greg Davies is doing his impression and Jon says you sound like one of the compare the meerkats - got an ad 5 seconds later for compare the market
13:00 I still believe this was written by Sean as a dare for Joe 😅
Greg’s Chris Eubank impression is epic!
He sounds like the knights who say NEE!
I will never fully get over the passing of Sean Locke. It's the first time in my life I've felt even the slightest twinge of sorrow over the death of a celebrity.
That's how I felt about Norm Macdonald. It's amazing how watching clips of someone that makes us laugh so often can make us genuinely crushed when they die.
Sean Lock and Martin Ritter of Friday Night Dinner as well
Not a comedian, but I feel that way about Chester Bennington's death. Just can't get over that one.
@patfanrj I've felt since that time that there were quite a lot of parallels between Sean and Norm. Both had very unique comedic styles which pushed the envelope more and more as their careers went on, both were prepared to play into damn near any persona for a bit or to get a good laugh, both dabbled in TV / movies on top of their stand-up and met mixed success there, both were known as "comedian's comedians" able to break other comics, and in the end, both of them kept their deteriorating health secret right up to the last possible moment.

@TCM_Hutchie I had no idea Sean Lock and Norm paralleled so much, including the fact that they both kept their health problems a secret. I guess both men wanted their comedy to come first no matter what and not have people pitying them.
Greg's impression bit really got me.
Claudia Winkleman getting the uncontrollable giggles at Sean's "Rectum of the Year" story is the cutest thing I've seen all month.
❤😂100% agree
“Jeff’s back from the rigs and he’s loaded”!
I’m weak!
You know its funny when you can't hear Jimmy doing his hua hua laugh but when it cuts to him hes wiping his eyes
The stars lined up lol Jimmy was going *Hua Hua Hua* as I was reading your comment lol
"What I've got to do is try and forget what he said." haha
Aw, Sean. You're missed, sir.
Where’s he gone?
@thealmightyquatch Fought cancer. Lost. Still making people laugh.
The joy seeing Sean laughing is ultimate joy, Love from Ireland 💚
I love how Joe starts the first line off with such conviction…
Hello commuter. On your way to WORK! 😂😂
😂😂😂
The killer for me is the last line,
You’re welcome!! I just named your penis 😂😂😂
If Joe had used his poem in LOL he would've broken at least one opponent into laughing, surely. But the challenge would have been to not laugh himself... 😂😅
Imagine being able to make Sean Locke laugh like that.
This was one of my favourite shows when it had all the great comedians unfortunately with Sean passing away rest his soul the show was never quite the same afterwards but thank goodness for RUclips so we can relive all the funny moments from this
I wonder why Florence never got any of Sean's letters? Maybe because he kept them in a box instead of sending them! 😂
My sides are hurting!😂😂😂😂
Some of the best moments of the show presented in a different order. Still hilarious.
"Rectum of the Year" is always a great one. All the same, I still taste Joe's poem as the most hilarious I've seen on the show. 🤣😂🤣
gotta get those gloves off
Miles Jupp is so underrated. He’s hysterical!
Claudia imploring Sean to stop was too much!
She almost died 😂❤
Roisin’s laugh is like Lisa Kudrow’s laugh from the Friends blooper reel. I love it!
Another way/excuse to put Joe's poem in. Love it.
Still miss Sean, what a legend!
Sadly missed Sean, you were a comic genius. Thank you for the laughs ❤
I didn't know i needed a really bad Chris Eubank impression in my life, but here we are 😂😂😂
Henning's laughter at Sean's embezzling gag is magic 🤣
Putting them all together like this is genius though. xD
"oh, you sing like a wanker" cripples me every time 😂😂😂😂
Greg Davies does Eubank sounds borderline like Bluebottle from The Goons.
Bloody Fantastic
Oh yeah - he needs to say “he’s fallen in the water” 😂😂
I thought it was funny until I heard Eubank speak, and then I thought, well that’s just lame
If I remember rightly I think when he was on again they got him to do it again and actually got Eubank to come on stage and surprise him!! 😂😂 that was amazing. He wanted to run away! Eubank was really good with him though and they both read a poem together. You’ll have to see if you can find it on her somewhere.
@FlissFloss2906 It's everywhere, super easy to find lol, I'm surprised they didn't include it lol
Omg am laughing so hard , forgot the name but thought just That I thought The Goons. Grew up listening to them on the radio on a Sunday afternoon.
12:09 Rachel drinking while Sean was in the middle of a joke is definitely a dangerous game.
Luckily, she doesn't have a sense of humour. Watching the camera cut away from Sean to her when he's telling one of his best gags is always a treat. Totally blank.
" Rectum of the Year" always get me. Always. Every line is lethal.
What fun these must be to record. Love a good laugh. Thanks to all who make this.
That literary passage was the best oration I've heard.
What I loved, about Sean Lock, he was just being himself , brilliant. ❤
Gutted it didnt have the peter serafinowicz bit on there. Absolute comedy gold
Did anyone make Sean laugh as much as Joe did?
Seems Joe was usually the reason for Sean losing it ❤
Miles and Sean were good together often.
Yes.
Plenty of fucking comedians. Are you watching the microwave?
"pulled out and there was shit all over it - come fly with me~" is a straight-up murder LOOOOL
Claude needs her own place in the Museum of Television.
yesss! i think i have watched the SAME compilation on this channel 100 times
Love it when they collectively lose it🤣🤣🤣 lol’d till I cried 🤣🤣🤣
RIP Sean❣️
I come back to this video when I’m feeling lost and it genuinely helps so much. It’s so funny it helps me move forward
The absolutely best comedy is when they break character or lose it and start cracking up. This is why I loved Carol Burnett's show, they always cracked each other up. It's when you see the real person, not just the comedian, come out. These were all great, but watching Sean lose it, obviously in discomfort laughing so hard, just able to say "Stop it." was the best. I'm sure Joe love's watching that clip and remembering Sean.
Sean and Miles 😍😍
Sean: “Please stop”
Joe: “Hello police officer!”
Missed that Cobra Kai Joe's reaction too good
Thankyou for the belly laugh 😂😂😂 it was desperately needed
❤🇨🇦
Cant believe there was actual sean lock content i hadnt seen over 20 times, them love letters were brilliant!!!
Not often he laughed at his own jokes but they got him 😂❤
my sides are splitting lmao
12:37 - Iconic
This was exactly what I needed, thanks!
RIP Sean. We lost one of the best ever when you left us. 😢
That poem about hanging around the toilets had me cracking up your welcome 😂😂😂😂.
Sean Lock : The only man that's able to bring out a proper laugh from Jimmy.
Sean's just... very kindly... offered not to spit on one of our guests.
@JuICyBLiinGeR Found the troll!!!
Oh Jesus 😂😂😂😂😂 hello police officer
Claudia losing years off her life laughing always sends me
Sean's love letters 😂
6:27 sounds like jd Vance in South Park
It really does 😅
Boss boss
Greg’s impression went on about 10 times longer than necessary which makes it even funnier
Sean/Rob and Sean/Myles will always be the best duos on this show. IMO. Miss you tons, Sean!!
0:34 I can see her eye to the hole now “elloelloello”
Poor Claudia .. broken?? 😂😂😂😂😂 squak stop talking
I kid you not,there was an antique type shop near my home years ago called The Glory Holl.A minutes walk away was a public loo.
I beat Ferne Cotton... every time for me
Other people laughing always makes me laugh ❤❤❤😂😂❤❤❤
