Ayn Rand used to wrong foot people who told her jokes by getting them to explain what was funny about them. They would have to go into long and detailed explanations which would of course ruin the timing, and she would stare back at them with a blank expression on her face. A philosopher like shopenhauer would argue that by getting comedians to explain their jokes we ruin that sudden awareness of an incongruity and destroy that instantaneous and intuitive reaction to the absurd that gives humour its visceral power. or to put it more simply, Ayn Rand was a really tough crowd.
@@platopuss2558I can't see any comment referencing Ayn Rand so maybe it was deleted but she was vile, ideologically speaking at least. Some people who studied English and who I respect spoke highly of her capacity as a writer, but her hyper-right wing chuddery was revolting. What irony in that she had to rely on publicly-funded healthcare when she fell ill. Anyway, Alexei Sayle is the real deal. A great comedian, a smart man and politically astute.

It's JIm Sweeney not Robert Webb. He used to do CBTV with Steve Steen on Children's ITV They both appear as poets in Mrs Muggins's with Robbie Coltrane's Samuel Johnson in the Dictionary episode of Blackadder the Third.....

Best comedian of the last 30 years, still brilliant love alexie 🇬🇧❤️

Good one.
Now that is a well constructed gag (understatement)
I see this show had the brilliant David Renwick as a writer, I'd guess this skit had his involvement.
Extra points for citing Schopenhauer.
Clockworks o range still with it lawing Setealers!!!

Trouble with that story is nobody ever told Ayn Rand a joke. She was a joke.
Have you actually got any friends or any sort of life ... Lighten up you freak
Great sense of humour, Ayn Rand
Where can I get a copy of the song about the computer programmer from Milton Keynes.
I have the LP and think "IF" I remember right it's on that album that is called 'Cak'.
@@Whiteshirtloosetie Thanks buddy . My traditional folk group "The Council Grants" will take it to No.1
funny as fuck
he's not as bad as mark hayden
I give up is that Hugh Laurie?
Could be. He was in an episode of the young ones called "Bambi", and Alexi sayle is in that show. So, it stands to reason there is a connection there.
@@kaleenakellyI think I saw it was Jim Sweeney (who was another comedy actor of the time).
mitchell and webb look in the audience
Wrong
It's JIm Sweeney not Robert Webb.
He used to do CBTV with Steve Steen on Children's ITV

It was a fucking joke you mugs.
The best part is,, the actual standup is godawful
Not a word of it came through,Roddy yells 'audiance research'mix unit of 'bombers'they ltried too find,even'then became Alexis whole!!!AI it isnt.
Would it have been too much to ask for a squib and some fake blood?
