I've known 2 real life Bob's and they still try and talk to you while coughing, bless one smoked a pipe and lived to 96yrs old Condor ready rubbed was tobacco in his pipe 👍😂
58 years old and the sound of a fart is still the funniest thing ever...and people say for god's sake grow up....."NO CHANCE" ....On my headstone I'm going to have a a perimeter fart alarm installed so you'll damn well know it's me when you visit and place memorabilia associated with farting and toilet contents.... "SO THERE"
Lyrics to a song by Henry Purcell (1659-1695) “Pox on you for a Fop, your Stomach too queasy. Cannot I Belch and Fart, you Coxcomb, to ease me? What if I let fly in your Face, and shall please ye? Fogh, fogh, how sour he smells, now he's at it again; Out ye Beast, I never met so nasty a Man. I'm not able to bear it. What the Devil d'ye mean? No less than a Caesar* decree'd with great reason, No restraint should be laid on the Bum or the Weason, For Belching and Farting were always in season.” …Even a classical composer isn’t above a good fart joke. *According to Suetonius, the Roman Emperor Claudius (reigned A.D. 41-54) considered passing an edict "allowing to all people the liberty of giving vent at table to any distention occasioned by flatulence, upon hearing of a person whose modesty, when under restraint, had nearly cost him his life."
If they emanated from an ear and made an innocuous sound and smelled sweet, it might not be so bad. But because they forcibly erupt from a place best left covered up and sound like someone inventively imitating blowing a raspberry (and some can sound like an alien from STAR WARS attempting communication) and some should be banned under rules of nerve gas warfare, they're hilarious. One theory, have we evolved to finding the sounds of raspberrys funny because we associate them, Pavlov-like, with farts.
Bob Fleming was my favourite character in The Fast Show. Somehow I have always found coughing funny. The high point was his badger watch.
I just have to say "badger watch" in a bin Fleming voice to make my dad crease up!

I have bronchitis at the moment and told my cousin's husband - a Yorkshireman - that I identify with Bob Fleming.

Yes indeed, Charles. Farting is the oldest form of humour ever recorded.

A masterpiece!!!
From Bob Fleming's " RING PIECE ".... 😂😂😂
Brilliant! Bob always reminds me of the old fellas I used to see coughing and spluttering every where.
When he farts he reminds me of you.
0:42 "Cough medicine? What will they think of next?" Lol
😁
Bob was patient zero for COVID-19.
"Cough medicine, whatever will they think of next" is the funniest thing in the history f comedy. I mean, think about it.....
ARSE!
I remember seeing it on the telly back in the 90s - I was crying with laughter
I still say that to people to this day
"hello, bob fleming here! heloooooooo!" LOL!
absolutely brilliant
"And we'll know when time is up is when we hear this noise..." 1:44
I miss 90's BBC comedy (This, Bottom, Big Train, Shooting Stars, Red Dwarf)
@@Noobsaibot21 I loved Bottom. Shooting Stars. Fast Show and Red Dwarf.
Absolutely wonderful fun, I love this xx

He sadly died a few month after Country Matters finished.
@@jeffrey44 I don't suppose Jack Hargreaves can be cloned.
1:44 Lol
"No side effects?" Oh but there were, there were indeed.
