Myself and a mate went to a fancy dress party on a boat as the Pan Fighters, nobody got it that time either.......but then it was a Caribbean cruise theme.
I worked on a neonatal surgery ward when this was on so "Have you got any booze fot baby?" was one of our favourite lines. I particularly love their "Food and Booze" parody of the Food and Drink show.
Ironically Mr Sting sounds very much like the Stotts these days whilst playing his lute in his massive house with his massive trees and his massive space plasma car.
The Stotts are based on 2 Middlesbrough fans. I remember them from Ayresome park and the The Riverside. Bob is a big Boro fan. Vic and Bob have the accents to a 't'. Both lads were right charactsrs.
If you get a chance, listen to Bob's impression of Sting on Athletico Mince. It's on a bit called Geordie Heat and he does a similar high-pitched voice. Sting basically rings the Newcastle police and makes unreasonable demands, saying things like "Trudy's gone into town in the high-powered sports car". It's funny as f***
@Ollie Clixby haha. He needs to get himself into eggs, a dozen a day. Boiled, fried and poached. But if they're poachies they better be very fuckin runny, haha
I always think Bob Mortimer was the funnier of the two and especially so when they did the Stotts. Still laugh out loud stuff even after all these years.
I couldn't agree more, although without Vic would there have been Bob? Apparently it was only seeing Vic on stage that gave Bob the idea that it was possible.
@@Mud_eater ruclips.net/video/ZDwdHx_J64c/видео.htmlfeature=shared An old Omnibus. They interview his old boss, a solicitor. Bob has said he was a solicitor on numerous occasions. Why would he lie about something so easiliy corroborated? Maybe it's one of his ridiculously tall tales? Maybe he started the urban myth that him being a solicitor is itself an urban myth? I know his niece, and in conversation with her she never suggested it wasn't true. Not concrete evidence of course, but two law degrees, an old boss on film talking about his career in law, numerous interviews where he doesn't trip over a lie. It all points to him as being a solicitor, or certainly qualified and working in law.
Just to clear it up, this is from The Smell Of but they carried the same interview format through to Bang Bang where the Stotts interviewed people like Damon Hill and Caprice.
Guys, I said it was from Smell Of for a reason. It is from Smell Of. It's not from Bang Bang. Bang Bang had 6 episodes, and they interviewed Sinead O'Connor, Damon Hill, Caprice, Michael Winner, Nick Ross, and Paul McKenna. Those were the Bang Bang interviews.
how cud anyone who is a reeves and mortimer fan think this is from Bang Bang? you should know and for gods sake the credits come up at the end of the video and it says the smell of reeves and mortimer
I'd love to know how this actually happened. Like, how do you go to a BBC exec and say "We'd quite like to get one of the biggest rock stars in the world at the moment on our show, and ask them about farting" and then get them to say "Yes"?
at the time, it was a big shock that it really was sting. as they would pretend (deliberately badly) to be celebrities all the time, and hadn't had any guests on before.
This is teh wors intervuw evar! They dont no what there talking abote! Sting is teh greetest and these guys are desrispecfull!! If this is what brittesh chat shows are like then its no wunder al the famos people are American like Sting!!
I was sure there was a question about doing "a nice relaxing poo" but it's not here. Maybe it was a different Stotts interview or there's a different edit
Oh my gosh! That video is hard to watch at my age. It reminds me of the over the top stuff that Sabado Gigante does. Sting doesn't look too happy to be there, maybe that's part of the bit. :-/
Me and my mate did the Stotts in New Years eve fancy dress, we stayed in character all night. About 2 people got it, we had a blast!
Aye, a shotgun blast
Legends!
10/10 for commitment, lads.
id have loved that m8 :D
Myself and a mate went to a fancy dress party on a boat as the Pan Fighters, nobody got it that time either.......but then it was a Caribbean cruise theme.
The itchy arse question is the greatest ever interview question. Love these guys
Fair play to Sting, he kept a straight face for as long as he could...
Good sport is Mr Sting... but where is the 'Caprice' interview?
Absolutely one of the best Vic and Bob pieces. Sting was in pieces and the rest of us weren't far behind!
Still a favourite for my mates and me to this day 😂 we went on a stag do about 25 years ago and all everyone kept saying is now mr sting 😂
A love a bit clebrity chittle-chattle me!
Who would ever have thought that those eyebrows would have caught on with so many girls all these years later.... ;-0
😂😂😂
Genius 😂
Hahaha
Make no mistake, my comedy life has only gotten better since I discovered Vic and Bob
+KK Akuoku You chose wisely
captin weestain No, It chose me.

Watching Sting collapse into hysterics on the sofa made my day!
Hilarious that Bob's Stott voice is now the voice of Sting on the Athletico Mince podcast.
Brilliant! "Answer our questions using your mind. "
Vic corpsing at "lil Tommy squeaker" lmao
Every time I hear their accents I'm proud
ah this has been cheering me up for decades.
I fucking lose it every time Mortimer bangs on that xylophone!
Ironically Mr Sting sounds very much like the Stotts these days whilst playing his lute in his massive house with his massive trees and his massive space plasma car.
Chitter chatter chit.
This is one of my favourite bits in comedy of all time that made me piss myself laughing!
He's started thinkin' he's a crow or summat! 😂
The Stotts, best creation ever.
Brilliant!! These two are BONKERS.
I miss these guys, Vic Reeves Big Night Out was also awesome!
2:28 and 2:36 LOL Sting's reaction at 2:46 is priceless.
One of the funniest things ever made

The Stotts were from Shildon. I wouod expect them to be Sunderland fans. Either way they were 'redundant', whuch explains a lot. 😂

It's absolutely brilliant. His 'interpretation' of Peter Beardsley's wife kills me.

Oh my god, this is hilarious. I'd forgotten quite how brilliant this is.
2:37 Witness the power of Vic and Bob!
I think my favourite bit, is where Sting wipes away his tears with his tie!
Only Sting could look good in that suit
Just to clear it up, this is from The Smell Of but they carried the same interview format through to Bang Bang where the Stotts interviewed people like Damon Hill and Caprice.
There was also one with Nick Ross with a huge buildup for the question "Where do you go at night?"
Happy 65th Birthday Bob! 🙂

Credit to Sting, he managed to keep a straight face for about 2 and a half minutes before eventually corpsing.
How sexy was that geordie accent on sting!?
That was a LOT of fun!!!...Is it giro day yet??
at the bells stores you can get four cans of stella for only one ninety nine. they only close when you're asleep.
Mister Sting from the Massive House, with the massive drive,,,
Someone's pissed in me lute
For anyone that listens to the Athletico Mince podcast...well, I'll just ask you to notice Bobs impression of Sting in it :D
Well I've found where the Mr Sting voice came from for the Athletico mince character
And Gordon's from Wallsend of course.
Brilliant.
He would clearly pick at it with his fingers
riiiiight
Absolutely fucking brilliant!
Noddy Holder won't be so happy when he realises Sting has nicked his best suit.... ;-0
This was fucking beautiful.
Oh how handsome sting is ❤❤

Are you kidding, Sting looks delighted to be there.
Reeves is wearing my tartan.
Bob was obviously aspiring to the bald look. He wouldn't need a bald wig nowadays.
Sting clearly doesn't have a good sense of humor, this shit is dumb. Sorry sting I still love u
Staci Valenti
GTFO
I thought Sting played along perfectly. I was actually surprised by his playfulness.
best thing sting has ever done!
DethstruXioN ™ I love the way he was I'm just saying this show is retarded and anyone who finds humor in it doesn't have a good sense of humor.
DethstruXioN ™ yes usually he is very uninterested in interviews and stuff but he seemed to have had a lot of fu here.
I vaguely remember this ... isnt there a bit where Sting sits on a chair and it breaks or is that my imagination?
There is. A chair made out of lollipop sticks.
deadpan deadpan deadpan, 2:37 cracks up, that was brilliant
Sounds like Sarah Millican
+Lauren Clark Lauren have you let of a little tommy sqeaker
but about 20 years earlier.
Q: What sot o bo'le was it?
+Lauren Clark That's who her character was originally based on. You can still see some of the duct tape mustache on her if you stare really hard
sarah millican sounds like stott talking in the style of a tiger
I love how they begin by quite seriously write down the answers Sting gives, as if they're interviewing him for a job.
They did that in the Stott interview segments on _Bang, Bang, It's Reeves and Mortimer_ too.
I love how they laugh during their own sketches, esp Bob. Legends...
Sting, fair play to him. He was really up for that.
I love the way Mr. Sting corpses!
Sting's a cool customer, but even he lost it. Top notch fun!
