So true! One of the most memorable characters. He's exactly the type that would actually think it's good and hilarious. I'll never forget his joke about paracetamol, go-johnny-gogo-gogo, or his fake suicide "prank"
Forgotten how good this series was !!, so many cracking characters :-) Good to see the actors have all done very well and are still making great tv shows. I think Mark Gatiss has done particularly well as a writer.
"No mate, it's the bloody butchers" - Genius! Given that Gatiss also portrays Hillary Briss, the local butcher, and the fact that his 'special stuff' makes you strangely prone to nosebleeds! Wonderful double callback!
It was highly rated, very popular and had 3 series, 4 specials and a film made. Hardly the definition of underrated. Adding underrated on the end of a comment to get a few more likes: Overrated.
Completely random but relevant aside; but the best prank device I've ever used is a voice jammer. It's literally just a microphone that repeats whatever you say into it with a second or so delay. If you point it at someone, it messes with their brain and renders them unable to speak. Of course, it's more of a party gag than a prank since the person has to agree to wear headphones for it to work effectively. (402) How to Make Someone Sound Like an Idiot - RUclips
I liked the first series as it bordered had the white balance of quirk black comedy and the macabre and sinister. However with the second series they lost that balance and it just became more creepy and sinister than funny. And I gave up entirely on the third series after a couple of episodes. Despite an sublime scenario where an elderly man was roping his friends in to rehearsing his own funeral it was otherwise crap.
@@Josh_J91 I disagree. The fourth series was a completely over-egged 'best of'. The third series wasn't bad at all, but they tried to be too clever and some of the characters were over done.
@@rachel.mcgowan The idea with series three was that each episode was happening concurrently. I believe it is called a continous narrative. It only worked if you already knew that and saw all six.
The genius of the is Geoff Tipps coming in at the end knowing that he’s the sort of bloke who would think all those ideas were good and funny

Fred West walks in right at the end lol

Mark Gatiss is a shit woke writer. Signed, the future.
Get ready for Inside No. 9's new series, looks like a mini-LOG reunion!
"well........whoopie SHIT"

Been watching all these during lockdown stella and Charlie my favourite hahahahah
PUT! YOUR! HAND! IN!
How rare is it to find a dedicated joke shop! I think they barely exist.
He sounds like The Hitcher from The Mighty Boosh! I can't unhear it.
"Doesn't make her laugh, pisses herself can't stop pissin!" 😂
PUT

Lance Longthorne. The greatest unidexter ever to flog a whoopee cushion. RIP.
Loved this show so funny
One of the best comedies ever: so underated.
Underrated by whom?

Was that the tortoise that was blown out of it's shell?
Hahahaha yeah
Yeah
I nearly cried with laughter at the tortoise sketch.
Well...whoopee shit!!
"Runs off a car battery, you can't buy 'em"
Wish this shop actually existed!
Absolute genius
brilliant!
Call me anytime, day or night. Except for night…
Folk Horror at its finest.
Three people thought "Whoopee shit".
Well whoopie shit
Well, WHOOPIE SHIT😜
gatiss is brilliant here
Hold your horses squire
Funny to think Geoff ended up killing lance
I'm trying to think of I've ever seen Mark Gatiss NOT being creepy. I guess that one Doctor Who special.
I don't think Mycroft Holmes was creepy. A bit darker and more controlling than you'd want in an older brother, maybe, but not creepy.
Merilly Merilly Inside number 9 - not really creepy
the last episode of inside no 9

What utter drivel
Always thought this was harry enfield
Yer can't buy em 😂
Lol 😂
I would call the police if the joke shop owner forced me to put the hand in the tube
Bleedin hell mate it ain’t gonna bleedin bite yah
The fact that the proprietor only had one arm would have been warning enough for me .
You're not leaving this comment section til you put your hand in that bleedin tube.
Probably would not want the cops in Royston Vasey coming to save you haha.
What is that thing he was washing the windows with?
don't remember this
Bring it back brilliant no sense of humour 👍
what was that meant to be at the beginning? a rat?
Tortoise. Vet accident.
Just realised how much Noel Fielding ripped this character off for The Hitcher.
Apart from them both being cockney I don't see the similarity.
Well, you're dumb.
Your thinking of papa Lazarou for the looks

They made up for how bad the 3rd was with the 4th In 2017
@@Josh_J91 Agreed. The fourth was a definite improvement.

The third series had a wonderfully dark atmosphere, but more disjointed than earlier series. Each episode in series 3 felt rather standalone

I hate this character.
