Yeah , what happened to him . He used to bold with comedy and I loved him for it , now he's gone ' woke ' and wimped out . He's not proper Bo anymore .
Bo selecta was a fucking brilliant sketch! Can’t believe Francis apologised for absolutely nothing! I don’t see the wayans brothers apologising for white chicks!! Or Eddie Murphy apologising when he acts as a white guy!! It’s called comedy ffs
Nothing wrong with socialists! But yeah a bit much the comedians apologising for comedy gotta take stuff in context and craig david and the other black bo selecta characters obviously weren't racist - all of bo selecta was just ridiculous - it's a sensitive time though I suppose and everyone has a right to be offended at whatever they're offended by. Not that I'm an easily offended person myself. Anyway loved the Craig David character lol remember buying his Christmas CD single when I was about 12 mad to think bo selecta was big over 15 years ago now
@@davehazeldene4091 Because nobody says jack shit and batters an eye when it's a white person that is in the sketch, yet as soon as it's on the other foot, it becomes a different story. To apologise for historical work years later is wrong and nobody should be pressured into it (it is what is at the time when it was done) all because of one major incident in 2020 involving a black guy.
the craaaig daaavid thing was cos he was always saying his name in songs, and making himself out to be a massive stud, personally think some of the sketches are really on point.
Yeah I don't like his Keith Lemon character tbh, he's too filthy, everyttttthing has to be sexual, I know Bo Selecta was like that in a massive way too, but it wasn't in every single sketch
That anorak joke to this day might be the greatest joke Keith ever wrote, it's not just the joke but the fucking delivery it's so visceral i can't help but crease every time
Hear hear! I couldn't be the first to say it so I browsed the Comments to find this. Keith Lemon had some superb stuff (current clip an example thereof) and also some rubbish, but if he: got paid well to churn out the oul' rubbish (-thereby saving his gems for himself), I say, good luck to him. A very intelligent fellow. His self-deprecation! What a brave and brilliant stance: he mocked himself about every possible aspect of his person and his persona that might arise as fodder for critics. That only endeared him further to people. If that was an act, bravo! If it was the real, er, Mr Leigh? (yikes, I don't know real name), awww. People who can be themselves in front of a camera are a rare breed and that is why I celebrate them.
This is comedy from the era before slightly hurting someone's feelings became a criminal offence. Brilliant! Couldn't make it like this today, and more is the pity. His Mel B character was also hilarious and totally OTT. Only real difference was that Mel herself was lighthearted enough to see the funny side of it! :-D
This was a comedy attack on CD's ego, pure and simple. CD marketed himself as hip, "urban" etc and bo reduced him to an epically uncool northerner with a pet kestrel. That's why it hit so hard, because CD's ego and marketing image was a huge part of his success and career back then. I'm glad he's found a second wind because he seems like a genuine guy and boy he can sing too, but bo selecta was still funny in a savage sort of a way. I think it's ok to lighten up and like both.
Keith Lemon was ok when he first appeared in series 3, you never saw his face properly as his mouth was always covered so you never saw him talk a very far cry from Celebrity Juice lol.
This was a brilliant comeback to Craig David's petulant outburst - he even introduced Leigh Francis as himself on stage once! Actually another great comeback by Leigh was to say 'I'm to blame for his career going downhill? I didn't write his second album did I?'. Ouch! Don't mess with a comedy genius (although not keen on Keith Lemon mind you!
Great title: I clicked, expecting to see a clip from an interview. Far from disappointed to realise that's it's a clip from Bo'Selecta-- delight is the prevailing emotion.
Thank you! Thought I was the only fucker who couldn't stand Keith Lemon in Bo, Then he makes fucking a career out of him? I mean, At times he was funny in celeb juice but still annoyed the fuck outta me lol Got bored and pissed off with that shit very quickly! Bo was an absolute hoot with great characters apart from Lemon head.. Nice one Francis 🙄 And now look at him, Licking woke ass apologising for Bo? OK.
@@RealGrooveRandom you're not giving a good argument or going into depth why you think this? and its ok to have your Opinion.. I am just curious , because you didn't give much in the way of context. it just seemed like hating for the sake of it?
It took man 10 years to recover 😂😂😂I used to see Craig driving round Hampstead in his Range Rover looking like his life was over 😂😂😂 it’s ok he bounced back hopefully Francis doesn’t bring out a new one 😳
Was it on a Sunday? He was probably on the way to the off licence to get a few cans of Stones bitter and crisps for chilling out, after making love on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Whenever I hear Craig David mentioned or played I have the uncontrollable urge to say "Cccrrraaaiiiiggggg Dddddddaaavvviiiiiidd" in the northern accent and ask 'Where's Kez?" :D :D :D
Apparently Craig Davids lawyer wrote to Francis to stop doing Craig David character as it was ruining his career but this was just more fuel for Francis
Leigh Francis is a comedic genius. He's current, with it and gets it. Craig David didn't like his Bo Selecta skit and moaned so. Bo Selecta replied with more piss taking, its brilliant ...Craig David needs a sense of humour transplant.
Probably because the piss take went on for years and Craig David realised he was being a knob without a sense of humour and he's now accepted it..all for laughs...
If there ever was something claimed to be racist that wasn’t it’s this. There’s nothing racist at all about this, it’s not even cruel to Craig David because it’s not even a realistic impression which points out faults. What has the world coming do when you can’t do silly impressions
It's funny how 10 years later Craig David is literally saying this show ruined his life!
He's had a career resurgence in recent years. So I think he got the last laugh in the end.

Never saw Mel B complain. Oh and it ruined his career that much he just receives a MOBO (racist in itself) after complaining on to. Classic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
having an award show dedicated to black music isnt racist when the british music industry is so racist in itself.

Same to be honest!
absolutley brillant
