Her mate Paul had told her that the way to measure a man was by how he fell and she took it to heart. It's also wonderful that this amazing episode premiered 30 years after the BBC1 sitcom Brush Strokes
It's like some cheesy inspirational quote you see all over social media, "It's not how many times you fall that matters, it's whether you do a little scream and fall like a loser."
"But what is stairs? What powers them? Where did they come from, and where are they going? How do they help you get from one floor of a house to another? Why is it easy going downstairs, but it can be quite knackering going up? The problem is, even the people who understand stairs don't really understand how they work. Which is why I've come here to ask an expert. Hello, who are you and what do you do?"
She's lying. She never asked me if I was ok. She just laughed. And called me the mean one. But I still miss and love you Di, even though this clip keeps forcing me to relive the experience. :(
She basically meant he fell and it gave her 'the ick' rather than wanting to go and help him, which told her what she already knew - that it wasn't going to work between them anymore.
0:01 first it sounded like "I once STOPPED a boyfriend...". Which in itself is just as funny. "I didn't like the way you fell..now go back and fall again.
What Diane failed to divulge is that her boyfriend was insanely jealous of her mate Paul. And she'd just had enough. She knew that one more cock-up after the falling out of the cupboard fiasco, and that would be sayonara!
In future, test them out eh? You gotta have a guy that can... wait a minute, this guy was going round corners while falling. Isn't that rather remarkable actually?
Resentful ex-boyfriend sitting at home for some reason turns on this show, realises it's him and vows to ... well, there's not really anything he can do after all these years.
It's a difficult thing to tell someone. It's not me, it's you falling down stairs wrong. How do you go about giving the relationship a second chance? Practice falling down stairs?
I wonder what's cruelest. Dumping him like that, or discussing it and its reason on TV with a panel of comedians in front of the entire nation and abroad..
i doubt she would’ve told the story if she thought he deserved better. she literally said he was a mean man, being with someone like that does affect your overall mood and sympathy towards them. after realising she didn’t feel sorry for him after the fall she knew it was time to leave since they were bringing out the worst in each other, which i acc think is pretty healthy
We didn't hear what the way was that he fell down the stairs that she didn't like. Did his arms and legs flop about in a particularly ridiculous manner, did he make some very unmasculine vocalisations, what was it that just did not fit the choreography she had in mind?
I hate to be a stick in the mud and to point out the obvious but taking someone's wheelchair away from them wouldn't of made any difference because whether they had it or not it serves NO PURPOSE whatsoever in aiding them in getting up or down a flight of stairs. I'm not a brain-dead moronic idiot I realize it's a joke and not to be taken seriously but if a joke doesn't make sense in the first place surly it becomes "dead on arrival" unless everyone is just supposed to see past the nonsensical set-up/inconsistencies of the joke and laugh anyway?
No. You're not missing anything. She's terrible...but it's not uncommon for women to think like this. If you do one unflattering thing, it could taint the way she sees you forever.
@guyledouche7939 Yeah, and certainly seems to be what happened here. When i first heard it though, i though no, it must be be a lie; so was quite surprised when it wasn't.
@Chris.Pontius I don't think i am. If he's done bad things, then dump him for that; but dumping someone for something like this 'last straw' or not, is pretty bad.
I'm not sure that you understand the format of this panel show. Each contestant is given a card that they have to read something from. The three people on the other team need to guess whether the card had something true or false on it (if I remember correctly, if false, it was something written by the show's writers, and the person reading it hasn't seen it until they read it at the show). That team gets to ask questions and the person with the card tries to answer them as though what the card says was true regardless of whether or not it is (of course, if it's false, they have to make up answers). Often the back and forth is intended to be funny. After the questions, the team captain of the opposing team consults with the rest of the team and states whether they think the card contained a true statement or a lie. They get a point if they are correct. If the statement was true, the card reader may give some context to the statement afterwards. Regardless of whether or not the statement that was read was true, the title of a short excerpt will usually start from the premise of the show, which is the question of whether the person reading the card is saying something true or not.
@seabream I fully understand this panel show I have watched it for years. I'm an English person watching an English comedy panel show that I know very well. It's hilarious reading your attempted explanation of how the show works!! 🤣🤣 There is absolutely nothing about this panel show I do not. understand. Indeed I remember watching this particular episode when it was first shown. It sounds more like you are unsure about parts of it.
@@Ana_crusis I did say that I wasn't sure. I have seen a bunch of episodes, but not regularly, and not for years. I'm not trying to be critical or have an argument, mostly just to give context in case someone could benefit from it. You evidently don't need it, so that's fine. The other purpose in my comment was kind of exploratory. I'm still a bit perplexed by your first comment. I don't understand how it's supposed to be taken or what it was meant to convey. You don't have to explain if you don't want to, but if you do I might be better able to interpret similar comments in future. If I could take a guess, was it a reference to a part of the episode that I haven't seen? That would explain why I don't get it.
I had a friend who dumped her boyfriend of several years over the way he dislocated his shoulder while swimming on vacation in Hawaii. He was a whiny, frail, stick in the mud. It was just the last straw. Her next boyfriend was a chief surgeon. They later married and had kids.

I've got the theme tune to Brush Strokes going around in my head now.
So have I because of you
@@5irFergie Well done.
This comment makes me want to pump up the jam
And 27 years after the release of unrelated Belgian techno anthem Pump Up The Jam
And interestingly enough, the sound of the fall was sampled and can be heard as a drum loop on Technotronics 1989 Belgian Techno hit: Pump up the Jam.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how they got the booty on the floor tonight.
Underated comment😂
@elkcub8780 second highest rated comment here, i don't think underrated means what you think it means 😅
Very nice

"And he's here in the studio today!" -- Rob, in alternate universe
in an alternate universe, he'd appear in the 'This is my' round !
I'd love the alt universe where they had the footage from the CCTV outside his place showing his ungainly fall.
In an alternate universe she fell up the stairs and he broke up with her.
"I hid his wheelchair"
Must've been hard on the guy, because he really fell for her.
Wahey!
... Good grief...! 🤣🤣🤣
Boom boom zzzzzzzz
He was head over heels
😂😂😂😂😂😂
And he went “cunk-cunk-cunk” going down
It certainly deflated his conserve.
She reminded me of Philomena Cunk (Presenter and Historian) 👇🏾

For some reason I imagine this fella meaner than that.

Ive often wondered "why are stairs?"
Nice one!😂
It keeps happening
Read it in her voice and all 🤣
Always thought the little scream that Michael does after 1:22 was funny.
Reminds me of Prince Herbert falling out of the window in the Holy Grail 😂
At least now he knows why
*Dude after falling down multiple flights of concrete stairs and getting badly injured*: "This day can't get any worse."
Diane Morgan: "Hold up."
She really got the ick from the way he fell 😂😭
Her level of commitment is extraordinary! 🎉😂
"What does it matter how a man falls?"
"If he's dating Diane Morgan, it matters a great deal."
It not about falling down the stairs but more about the style you fall with.
Diane Morgan and Lee Mack. My two favorite British comedians.
she is brutal and i love it
Men were absolutely not surprised this was true 🤣
I'm surprised she didn't dump him before. As soon as he became a 'mean person' as she said, she should have dumped hin.
@Ri57490 You should stop giving people advice
She's lying. She never asked me if I was ok. She just laughed. And called me the mean one. But I still miss and love you Di, even though this clip keeps forcing me to relive the experience. :(
Not usual to see her smile!! Love her!!

How do you see someone get injured and "get the ick"?
@@polycrystallinecandy Because you don't like them. Because they're a mean person. God, don't you listen?
@@I05-e4s even if I don't like a person, I don't think that would be my reaction if they were injured
@@polycrystallinecandy well SORRY, Mother Theresa!
@@polycrystallinecandyThe injury is just the straw that broke all the ick that happened before.
I hope her ex boyfriend sees this on here one day and shares his thought on this, I was really expecting her for say "Lie"
When your first thought isn't "are they ok" it's not gonna work out
One of life's missed comedy opportunities - a skit between Diane Morgan and Sean Lock (may he RIP).
Mandy
As Diane's former boyfriend, I disapprove this.
Well, at least you can say that you've been Diane's boyfriend. If we weren't so envious of you, you'd probably have hundreds of likes.
i didnt like the way you fell down the stairs and survived
so now im forced to dump you
Thats such a Dianne thing to do. "Ya fell down stairs all wrong, Im done w'ya."
Brilliant, so Diane Morgan😆🤣
I'd never get bored of a woman like her❤
Was it Sean 😂
Hard way to be rejected, even worse if he was a stuntman and he was showing off his best work.
😂
Funny as hell
So, that's one of Cunk's icks😂

Never had a good experience with a slinky. I got one every Christmas. They only worked properly one time in a hundred.
@@G.A.M.E.Nah mate, you're thinking of an easter slinky. A christmas one needs to be visited by some blokes in a dirty manger first.
Rough childhood.
In future, test them out eh? You gotta have a guy that can... wait a minute, this guy was going round corners while falling. Isn't that rather remarkable actually?
And then she did a bit where she was perpetually falling down stairs with corners. lol In the biscuit-taster job.
She's so cool
I was told that my falls were very uncontrolled (I'm an ice skater), but I thought falls are uncontrolled by definition. 🤔
It means you're not trying to steady yourself very well.
There's actually some minimal control when you're already falling tho.
There are all kinds of techniques for avoiding further injury as you fall.
Shes such a cute girl.

How do you go about giving the relationship a second chance?
Practice falling down stairs?
"Cunk on Breakups"
She has lovely eyes!
I've always quite fancied Diane...!!!
Better get practising falling down the stairs in a gainly manner
I wonder what's cruelest. Dumping him like that, or discussing it and its reason on TV with a panel of comedians in front of the entire nation and abroad..
This episode aired 8 years ago and no names were mentioned. I’m sure he’s fine
i doubt she would’ve told the story if she thought he deserved better. she literally said he was a mean man, being with someone like that does affect your overall mood and sympathy towards them. after realising she didn’t feel sorry for him after the fall she knew it was time to leave since they were bringing out the worst in each other, which i acc think is pretty healthy
Is that Paul who fell down the stairs?
"Now that Cunk clips are viral on YT, let's reupload an old clip for views" - WILTY 😜
Classic Seinfeld episode plot
Diane Morgan and Kathrine Parkinson look so much alike its eerie, almost twins!
How do you fall down the stairs gainly?
you have to be the exactly correct level of drunk...
Her Aunt Carol would like that, or her mate Paul
She literally got the ick from seeing him fall 💀
I'm convinced women just do shit at random, then come up with reasons later on.
he was defo pushed
Omdayyss 😂
Maybe he fell for someone else?
I love Diane Morgan. Absolute legend
We didn't hear what the way was that he fell down the stairs that she didn't like. Did his arms and legs flop about in a particularly ridiculous manner, did he make some very unmasculine vocalisations, what was it that just did not fit the choreography she had in mind?
She characterized the fall as "very ungainly."
Is Philom... Is Diane Morgan a femininist?
good for her

I think this says more about Diane than the boyfriend. If she’s your buddy don’t expect help from her if you have a nasty accident….Avoid!
