I've quoted him so many times over the years.... my friends are sure I am him, especially now, with the hair.. Then they noticed him running...... and yep. How to tell us apart hahaha. BUNCH OF FLOWERSSSSS.. I'm 46, watched him since 1990 ish? Had 3 box sets. One was to replace loaned out one, never again. But well worth it. Live at the Ambassador's.... Creased. Seen him live twice in his comedy shows... and once in the play, The Life and Death of Joe Egg. Had a 5 minute convo about childbirth and labour... so funny. Legend.
It's a pretty sound bet, that if you're meeting someone new, and you find out they love this guy..... it is, a pretty sound bet indeed, that I will like them, and they won't turn into a tosser like most. You can't be a fan and be anything but 'relaxed and groovy man...'. ❤❤❤❤ to all fellow Eddie worshippers hahaha. He's also the reason I got into politics. My only criticism. Haha. Dangerously educational
that's one i haven't seen before. i was laughing so hard durring the middle bit that i cried. i was on the verge of sobbing and in pain i laughed so much. beautiful!
The question is, was Stephans promoted from the Death Star canteen to Accounts on the Enterprise, or did he go from Accounts on the Enterprise to manager of the Death Star canteen?
Eddie Izzard uses the name Stevens/Stephens all over his monologues, if you pay close attention. Used as a go-to name for a bureaucratic straight-face guy.
This is probably the best sketch of his I've seen so far (IMO) :D And I know I read a comment below saying 'don't watch trek it sucks, watch stargate', well I happen to be a fan of both, they both have their moments of brilliance :)
Repeatedly watching Eddie Izzard's DRESSED TO KILL got me through a terrible bout with chicken pox a few yeasr ago. He's great, and it's the expressions on his face as much as the words coming out of his mouth.
Oh wow that was absolutely fantabulous! I had to pause it to catch my breath. The most memorable: the machine that went widdly-we and the settings of the ice cream truck nearby, sudden interest in botany and depression. Thank you so much for positing this.
I love how they explained scotty never being able to do anything in TNG, he was just bullshitting every time to make him seem like a miracle worker lmao
I love watching those old star trek episodes, the effects and some of the aliens and monsters are hilarious. Everytime captain kirk has a fight with some creature his top always gets torn in the same place, and it's to show what a brave hero he is. Eddie gets it spot on about the clipboards and the backgrounds when they beam down. They are mostly just some rocks and the same coloured background. Also, the one or two men who get beamed down in different coloured tops always seem to get it. It happens in every episode. You would think they should just beam down the main characters, or at least have the other men wear the same colour tops. Love it.
The red shirts effect. When the stars beamed down you knew it was okay, but when they beamed down with a couple of red shirts you were just waiting for them to die 😁
No, he is a comedian. He is simply doing what he does best, and he is bloody good at. I love star trek, always have, and everything he said was true and bloody hilarious!!
The thing about all the Star Trek universe that confused me was the apparent 24/7 routine of the central characters. In TOS, for instance, the chain of command was: Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Sulu, Ohura, Chekov (Note: McCoy could remove any member - including the captain - from duty, for medical or psychological reasons, but could not normally take command.) Including McCoy, all 7 of those people were on shift at the same time. To those reading this, I'm sure you can figure out where the rest of this would be heading...
Alleycat 27 Holy fuck! IT'S AN EDDIE IZZARD STAND UP SEGMENT! I love star trek as much as the next geek but there are forums for your type of question! Lighten up and laugh! or do you have a sense of humour? You a real life Sheldon Cooper?
Chris... Holy fuck! It just an observation. Lighten up and appreciate the opportunity to answer a Star Trek question ... as I never once said I was a geek or in love with Star Trek. I merely stated a matter of confusion. Typical of being a Star Trek geek, you should be very happy a woman cared enough to even create a post about Star Trek, muchless make a statement that implies a question. As for the Izzard's humor: 1. It's long been known that there is a lot of truth in a joke. 2. Given this, a comedian's jokes are often an opinion, observation or interpretation of reality. 3. Jokes are subjective, not all of them land in comical fashion. 4. I am lightened up and would readily laugh, if I found his material funny. 5. As I said, in the previous paragraph, perhaps you should take your own advice and lighten up - How often does a Star Trek geek ever get the chance to interact with an attractive woman - much less have that woman mention Star Trek? 6. What do you do about it? You try to alienate her! I'm no Sheldon Cooper. I'm a redhead version of Penny. You are obviously a real life version of Howard Wolowitz.
Your condescension and arrogance make you unattractive, regardless of what you look like (which I can't judge on YT). And most "Star Trek geeks" interact quite often with (both physically and mentally) attractive women. Some of us are attractive women. And most of us are intelligent, which is considered attractive to a lot of people.
Star Fleet has a standard 6 hour duty shift as well as in Earth jobs. People no longer have to work 8 hours or more since the workers revolution that changed that. 6 hours equals full time.
The main crew on the ship would show up at 8 in the morning then after 6 hours be replaced by a second crew with the captain passing the con to a higher ranking officer, not Spock because he's off too but another lieutenant. There are 430 service men and women on the ship each having a rank.
The last setting is my mom! Everytime we get in the car check, twice that we got everything, pull to the end of the block and "Did I leave the oven on?" It might vary with the heater and the window. But she bakes a lot, so it's usually the oven.
@@PlayNiceFolks I hope it was sarcasm, the cartoon series has a kind of holodeck, but it's called something like "the rec room", where Sulu programs a beautiful outdoor scene.
My son watches this show 'Star Trek' and in it there is Chekhov who is Russian, Scotty who is Scottish, Uhura who is Black, and Sulu who is Chinese, but no Arabs. My son is very upset and doesn't understand why there aren't any Iranians, Syrians, or Iraqis on "Star Trek." I told him ''It's because it takes place in the future.
I love Eddie izzard so much. When I'm depressed I just watch him and i feel better.
Me too! works every time.
I've quoted him so many times over the years.... my friends are sure I am him, especially now, with the hair..

BUNCH OF FLOWERSSSSS..

But then the clip ends and it’s back into that pit of despair
He's brilliant! Same here! Lifts my spirit when I'm sad!💙
klingons on finger 3..lol. Never get tired of this guy.The best
This never gets old.
what i would give for a star trek episode where the words were uttered "set phasers to sudden interest in botany".
Maybe in another time line, lol
that's one i haven't seen before. i was laughing so hard durring the middle bit that i cried. i was on the verge of sobbing and in pain i laughed so much. beautiful!
I been watching this video for years and I still laugh as hard as I watched it the first time
"Captain, this entire planet is made is widdly wee."
I've referenced this more times than I care to remember.
my fave out of all his live shows.
hold on I've left the oven on
Alistair McGowan as Eddie izzard in star trek 😃
Well, that explains it then: it really all IS made out of widdly wee!
Miriam Jacobs :)
JadeEyes1 Certainly makes atomic theory obsolete.
Eddie Izzard is one funny guy! And he has been throughout his whole career.
"I think what matters more is having the freedom to do whatever makes you happy, regardless of what others think. "
Well said!!!
This is a riot!!! Especially for Star Trek fans.
I love his expression when he acts our the 'Left oven on at home' setting. XDDD
Eddie Izzard is so amazingly funny.
Been watching this clip for years...
NEVER take it down. EVER...
This is down right hilarious. Depression setting, but the bad eye sight setting hilarious.
"Captain, this entire planet is made of widdly-wee." xD Genius!
The depression setting is essentially what happened to the Vogons at the end of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie.
Eh.. Marvin shot them with the point of view gun. Thus giving them his grand old point of view.
Needless to say it didn't help them.
"Captain. The cats eatin the crystals and were spittin up hair balls all over the galaxy."
The question is, was Stephans promoted from the Death Star canteen to Accounts on the Enterprise, or did he go from Accounts on the Enterprise to manager of the Death Star canteen?
Eddie Izzard uses the name Stevens/Stephens all over his monologues, if you pay close attention. Used as a go-to name for a bureaucratic straight-face guy.
This tray is wet, this tray is wet..... lmao 🤣
We should all live in the world of Eddie izzard,such a happy place for me
I’ve been ill today but Izzard marathon has cured me😁
"Ah canna change the laws of Physics, Captain!"
"And the rest of them just looking at him, like..." xD
the captain's log made me laugh so hard I blew the food off my fork
how does that even happen
Captain's Log. Supplemental.
I lost my shit through the Dr. Mccoy bit. Omg I couldn't breathe!
You lost control of your bowels and suffering from asphyxiation? Sounds like a really bad day.
Set your phasers to Bit of a Cough.
The rest of them are just looking at him. "What's all that about, Stevens?"
Classic stuff -- trek fans (like me) love this stuff! Incredible!
"Set phasers on 'limp'"
That's hilarious!
This is probably the best sketch of his I've seen so far (IMO) :D
And I know I read a comment below saying 'don't watch trek it sucks, watch stargate', well I happen to be a fan of both, they both have their moments of brilliance :)
"Oven left on at home setting". Get's me every time LOL! :-)
I love the Danger Mouse theme song playing in the background. Brilliant...

"I can give you 30 miles an hour in a week"
Hilarious!!!
OMG! i can't believe i've never heard of this guy until last week. absolutely hilarious!!!
I love how they explained scotty never being able to do anything in TNG, he was just bullshitting every time to make him seem like a miracle worker lmao
Met him today served him in my shop and got his autograph
You lucky bugger.
This guy makes me laugh so hard my stomach hurts!

The guys in the red shirts are killed.

bones! spock! jim! spock! bones! JIM!!
He is so funny!!! I love him .:-)
Holy hell that transporter gag had me laughing so hard it hurt!
No, he is a comedian. He is simply doing what he does best, and he is bloody good at. I love star trek, always have, and everything he said was true and bloody hilarious!!
A CAT'S EATING THE DYLITHIAM CRYSTALS!!!
If I lived on the Enterprise I'd open a stall on level 6 selling clipboards...
I'd dye all my red shirts black 😁
"The cat's eating the dilithium crystals, you see..." Oh my God I laughed my ass off xD
A real genius. I remember first seeing him on a show hosted by Ben Elton in (i think) the late 80's. Truly original and utterly hillarious.
That’s around the time he did my favourite set which is the; Raised by Wolves routine, really worth checking David
You need a reason? It's the DM theme!
oh shit its lindy 11 years later LOL
@@phoenixfire9176 Set phasers on 'Learn British history from the best'!
The music in the start and end are from an old cartoon "Danger Mouse".
Eddie Izzard makes my cry with laughter. So funny.
"Its the Klingons on finger two, Captain." Ahahaha. Awesome. :)
I LOVE EDDIE IZZARD! Brilliant!

"He's the greatest, he's fantastic, whenever there is danger, he'll be there!"
Funny AF
Oh yes, and the man who played Dr. Bashir is also part Arabic himself. He's an adorable character and the actor does not play stereotypes. :D
"What's all that about, Stevens?" ROFLMAO!!
V A October = Vulcan ass off, lol
Absolutely unbeatable!
hahaha i love eddie izzard! "sudden interest in botany setting"
Probably his best work, right after all his other work
The last setting is my mom!
Everytime we get in the car check, twice that we got everything, pull to the end of the block and "Did I leave the oven on?"
It might vary with the heater and the window. But she bakes a lot, so it's usually the oven.
"Last one down to the energizer rooms a wanker." lmao. wish I was a Brit.
"Bit of a cough setting!" LOOOOOOOL!
lol i think sulu must have been hit with sudden intrest in botany setting once!
does anyone remember the episode with the salt eating shape-shifter?
Limp setting; priceless!
wonderful bit and the Danger Mouse music to beat. cool
"steering wheels.. too many steering wheels!" LOL
Well, now it's canon that Captain Kirk was playing on the holodeck as an old Earth cop.
.... gasp. They didn't have holodecks in Kirk's day! Oh my goahsh how do YOU not know that?!
**sarcasm**
@@PlayNiceFolks I hope it was sarcasm, the cartoon series has a kind of holodeck, but it's called something like "the rec room", where Sulu programs a beautiful outdoor scene.
I never watched the original series, but I just saw the new star trek movie. I recognized Bones immediately based on this skit, lol! Thanks, Eddie!
"oven left on at home" setting - laugh with tears. Priceless
The greatest living stand up comic.
This is some of his best !
Love the intro music that's 1000x louder than the video. Thanks.
I live on a widdly wee planet!
Gotta love Eddie :D
holy crap the beaming down got me in trouble at work for laughing so hard
Fukken signed, man. Best line in the whole skit :D
Love him!
Come onnn this was AWESOME!
"I thought I was beamin' down."
Eddie Izzard is class :)
XDD All of the phaser settings were the best!!
"Phasers on limp!"
"Sudden interest in botany setting" ROFL
"Me Bones" lol
The video was fantastic, and I love Eddie Izzard, but the best part was the Dangermouse music at the end :)
1:16-1:35 BEST EVER!! " he probably had a twix down there.." his face at 1:19 is PRICELESS
Took me ages to remember what that theme tune is, which is a shame, because its one of the best cartoons ever :D
Is this the same Mr Stevens from Star Wars?
nah he wasn't from Accounts; he was Head of Catering
"Captain, this entire planet is made of widdlywi!"
loved it!
Jiiiim, Spock! SpockJim How long have I known you? Christ's sake Spock, Jiiim
LMFAO!
My biggest youtube lol this month was the accountant beaming down. Priceless Izzard.
"aw, you Bah-stards just let me DO that..."! Ba ha hahahahaha!
"And the rest are just looking at him."
Cracked my ass UP!
My son watches this show 'Star Trek' and in it there is Chekhov who is Russian, Scotty who is Scottish, Uhura who is Black, and Sulu who is Chinese, but no Arabs. My son is very upset and doesn't understand why there aren't any Iranians, Syrians, or Iraqis on "Star Trek."

"Uhura.. i'm not happy" lol i like that xD and the Bones impression
Made my night!! XD
Love Eddie

Lol.I love Eddie he's the best.
You've got a machine... well done...
